Payback would be sweet! Would help recruiting in Texas as well. All good if we go to Cotton Bowl. I just hope we come ready to play. It's a let down compared to where we could be playing this season...... Maybe take out some frustration on the Longhorns! Geaux Tigers!

This is what UGA is thinking.

UGA Blog

quote:

From all indications, Georgia will end up in the AT&T Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas, after losing to Alabama 32-28 in the SEC Championship game on Saturday. But Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said the Bulldogs should be heading to a BCS bowl.



quote:

Bowl destinations debated Where the SEC Championship game loser lands is always a matter of great debate. The league put in safeguards a few years ago to make sure the its runner-up doesn’t drop below Atlanta’s Chick-fil-A Bowl. In this year’s scenarios, it was coming down to the Cotton Bowl and the Capital One Bowl for the loser. Based on the SEC’s bowl agreements, the Capital One gets first selection among the non-BCS teams. Late word Saturday night was that the Orlando bowl had decided to go with Texas A&M and Heisman Trophy frontrunner Johnny Manziel. If so, that leaves the Cotton to choose between Georgia and LSU. The Chick-fil-A desperately wants the Tigers to come to Atlanta to face Clemson. That would be a much more favorable matchup for the bowl and for the Bulldogs, who open next season on the road against Clemson.



I'd love to see how many tickets UGA has presold to the Cotton.

the Austin American Statesman also says in 3 different articles in the sports page that Texas is LIKELY to go to the Cotton and that the opponent WILL BE LSU.

I hope the Dallas Morning News is right there Purpleye. It would serve Slive justice with his constant defending bad calls by SEC refs and trying to strong arm the Cotton Bowl into picking Georgia. Sorry Georgia fans , no body went to bat for us in 2005 and we ended up in the Chick Fila Bowl. As Hanagriff said the othr night , Slive has already strong armed LSU into the Friday game with Arky when in the SEC's eyes the Iron Bowl deserves to be played on Saturday instead of a Friday and rest assured before its all said and done we will be playing the Aggies from pretty soon on out on Thanksgiving night. So SEC shoves down LSU on all these matters so would be nice if the Cotton Bowl and Jerry Jones has the balls enough to tell Slive to take a fricking hike and go slobber on the ones he loves.

The fact that we played in the Cotton Bowl last year and the fact that we open the season in Dallas next year against TCU probably does not help us get in the Cotton.

However, if the pre-sales are a large enough carrot to dangle out there, maybe the Cotton will bite. But I doubt it, the Cotton is like all the other power brokers, they will be offered something down the road to fall in line and do what the system wants them to do.

Our fan turnout for this game will be embarrassingly low, but I don't blame people for not going.

I'd be surprised if we get more than 8,000 LSU fans to attend.

I'll tell you this ... Texas will be playing hard because this is likely Mack's last game. They will come out guns blazing and hitting hard ... They will be ready for anyone who shows up and you can believe that ... but in the end there still just an average Texas team

LSU 31-10
