Here's a copy of my post from it:
I've been dubbed an "official" idiot for my take on our 2012 bowl situation, which is that one bowl is just as good as another for us this season. After getting the field wiped with our laggard asses for the past five games, we ought to feel lucky to even be in a bowl. Beyond that, I do think we end up in the lower tier because there is a lot more excitement around Vandy than us right now, and I don't see how Gator ignores that. Even if they bring less fans than we would, it probably helps Gator's long term marketing. I also think the oddity of an 8-win Vandy team gives them more tv viewers. If they take us, great, but IO wouldn't in their place. We were just in MCB last season, and Ole Miss also has some of that wow factor going on now, so I think they'll take TSUN over us if they can get away with it. Hopefully, I'm wrong about Gator taking Vandy, which makes the point moot. As far as the difference between one bowl and another, I just don't see any difference other than financial for a team that is searching for its spirit after another shoulda-coulda-woulda year. I'm just grateful that we'll get to play the extra game and have the chance to redeem ourselves.
The original post of this thread, that we should be o-so picky, is the outright stupidest thing I've read since the directions to a Made in China pair of compact binoculars.
If you guys only want certain people to post, ban me.
