Captiol One<Cotton and Chick-fil-A

I enjoyed the game

I was watching some of the Ole Miss game, wishing we would have played in Jerrypallooza stadium.

I could have gone to the game. Playing on turf...seeing the Tigers shine. Pretty good viewing audience.

Instead, we had to watch the Tigers on a field that would make the Saints look slow.

Disregard the field, if you can. They didn't do anything that they normally don't do for that field...they play HS games, re-sod, then play 2 bowl games. If they get good enough weather for the grass to grow, or better yet, replace the field with field turf, as they say they will; would you still prefer Dallas to Orlando?

the second the Cotton Bowl is in the BCS..the Cap One bowl will be equal to the Humanitarian Bowl

No.

The Citrus Bowl is pretty prestigious. It won't fall that far.

Cotton was one of the big four, back in the days of the old SWC. With the creation of JerryWorld, I could see the Cotton being a BCS bowl again.

It once was up with the Sugar, Rose and Orange. The Fiesta took over for the Cotton.

We parked our motor homes at the stadium and, WOW, we were in the middle of the slum. We had peolple coming up to us all day and night asking for booze and $$. On new years eve at midnight, we heard some fire works but a lot of what we heard was gun fire. We had a good time but I want ever go to the Citrus Stadium again.

Don't underestimate the appeal of Disneyworld and Universal Studies and the warmer weather in Orlando compared to Dallas and Atlanta.

I think as long as the big ten is happy with Capital One it'll do okay. For people from big ten states, The Rose Bowl will always be number one and the weather is better in LA and there's Disneyland and other attractions like Hollywood and Magic Mountain. To big ten people a good bowl has to have great weather and famous well-known tourist attractions. It's a bigger deal for Northerners to go to a warm place like Orlando and Pasadena and do the let's get out of the winter thing and wear shorts in January. You can't always do that in Dallas and Atlanta and no one in the big ten states equates Dallas and Atlanta as being as good tourist places as Los Angelas and Orlando.

Not for long. The Shitrus Bowl is the worst bowl stadium in the U.S. although they did clean upthe hunks of concrete that came loose and almost killed some people a couple years ago.
