Buy/Sell: If the Peach Bowl screws us

</div><div>CFN is somehow predicting Georgia to the Peach Bowl ahead of it. Absurd. But if it happens, should we look elsewhere than the SEC tie-ins? It's not without precedent. In fact, Nevada is taking advantage of the lack of Pac-10 teams to fill in its contracts to go to the Las Vegas Bowl to play Utah. Boise State jimmied around the tie-ins back in 2008 so they could play TCU.</div><div>
</div><div>Maybe instead, if the Peach Bowl won't have us, we should look into taking an unfilled Pac-10 slot in the Sun Bowl or Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Or, if Washington loses Saturday, the Holiday Bowl will come open. Those 3 bowls don't want to have to resort to 6-6 MAC and WAC teams to fill in the tie-ins, so why not see if we can negiotiate one of those spots? </div><div>The SEC would probably be OK with it. Kentucky would slide up to the Liberty, and the SEC wouldn't get the $300,000 from the BBVA Compass Bowl, but we could bring in for the SEC the $1,650,000 from the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl or $1.9 mil for the Sun Bowl, or just maybe $2.2 mil for the Holiday Bowl.</div><div>

I read somewhere where a Peach Bowl spokesman said that if MSU finished 7-5, that record would be inadequate for Miss. State to receive a Peach Bowl invite.


So if 7-5 is not good enough, then how is 6-6 suddenly acceptable?

We're going to Atlanta. Get ready to give your kids some stuffed cows that they pass out.

Georgia may spurn the Liberty if the Holiday or Sun spot comes open. UGA isn't going to travel well to go to Memphis to play a C-USA team, so why not go to a better bowl if you have the opportunity?

Plus, we've already boycotted beef (Outback), we can't boycott chicken.

What would Muslim MSU fans eat? They would die. Executives at the Chick-fil-A Bowl are smarter than that. They don't want to be responsible for killing Muslims.

We are going to Atlanta. Remember in '07 when we all were hoping for the Music City when we all knew that we had been talking with Liberty Bowl reps?

Fortunately, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Especially since they have the spicy chicken sandwich now, which is awesome!

Actually, when we got the Peach instead of the Outback, that was basically a lateral move.

If we get the Liberty instead of the Peach, we should be royally pissed. The Peach taking a team that went 6-6 that we beat head to head and have two more wins than them? No way.

NOT!

sorry if you were offended. Muslims don't eat pork.

Someone on here has a hilarious story about two Muslim MSU students just popping into a random tailgate and helping themselves to food.
