I would personally prefer the Liberty Bowl. I would have a damn good time in Memphis on New Year's Eve.
Liberty Bowl would be a good spot. I still think that if the Liberty wants to sell tickets, they should go with Arkansas State. They brought a good contingent to Mobile last year when they didn't have a coach. They're an hour out of Memphis and they all wanna get mouthfricked by Malzahn now.
I think the Liberty is definitely better than Heart of Dallas.

I think a lot of them are just trolling La Tech. This is also the first time they've ever been good in FBS so they're celebrating.

I just read that the SBC is going to vote on whether to send Middle Tennessee or Western Kentucky to the Little Caesar's Bowl.

argument comes down to
-bigger bowl game against better opponent
vs
-better game environment
if tech does have a dallas or memphis bowl lined up, then that option seems obviously better. Ticket amount sold matters little to the point of a bowl for a team. Getting your team attention nationwide and potential recruiting incentive matters more.

It's more about the reputation that Tech fans have earned before this thing

Ok. Really man?! If that's not the pot calling kettle black
Everybody on the MSB is very proud of their football & talks up their team. It's no different w/ UL, ULM, LSU, Tulane, etc. Every fan base has arrogant fans...As far as Tech goes, there's nothing wrong w/ getting the best bowl possible. ULM fans are MAD cause their always MAD.

Most hotels have good cancellation policies and won't charge you until checkin or checkout. Just book one in Dallas and one in Memphis.
I think Arky State is going to the GoDaddy Bowl if I had to guess.

I had some Tech fan last night trying to tell me that they wouldn't play anybody who didn't win their conference this time of year. I told him, guess Tech is done with intrasquad scrimmages then. He didn't get it.

CBS has Tech projected to go to Liberty. If that's at all reassuring.
