Hotel Reservations?

[512taylor]

I want to go on and see about resetvations in various cities that we might go bowling.
In your opinion, where are our most likely destinations?
Thanks!

I would guess Nashville(since we haven't been there in a while) or Houston(since we have never been there). I just don't see us going back to Memphis since we were there in 2013.

Nashville. Birmingham. Shreveport.

 

[msubrave]

I'd bet my money on Houston

Wherever it is you'll be able to get tickets for about $5 each.

Nashville. Birmingham. Shreveport.

Let's hope it's Houston or Nashville. Birmingham is the worst of the worst (regardless of the new bowl equity stuff).

Maybe 615dawg can better analyze, but I don’t think any SEC teams will be in Bham or Shreveport. There are only 9 bowl eligible teams, and at least two will be in playoff/NY6 games.

That pretty much leaves Nashville and Houston, maybe Outback. Depends on where various teams have been recently, and might change if three SEC teams get into the playoff/NY6 games.

I know it is between Christmas and New Years but all these bowl games that used to be on Dec. 30 and 31 now falling in the middle of the week on Wednesday and/or Thursday is going to hurt attendance even more. I would prefer a Friday or Saturday game. And since, other than possibly getting to 9 wins, it is a relatively meaningless bowl, no matter where it lines up in the Bowl pecking order, either the Music City or Liberty would be better for our fans. Simply because of travel and ease of access, plus being weekend games.

I know most of you will hate that, but the Egg Bowl loss killed any luster this season had, so make it a short less expensive trip for the fans and maybe, just maybe, after the hurt sets in, fans will really get back behind the team and help them get that 9th victory.

Get the drift about luster but we won 8 instead of barely making 6 which was preseason predict by many

We could be in Houston playing Texas in the Texas Bowl. They are 6-5 going into their game tonight against Texas Tech.

Get the 17 out of here with Bham and S'port.

Nashville. Birmingham. Shreveport.

They are not ending an 8 win team to Birmingham or Shreveport people. Use your heads. It’s going to be Texas, Memphis, Nashville, or Tampa.

 

[rynodawg]

Missouri is good bet for Memphis (1980 last time). They went to Texas Bowl in 2009 while in Big 12. Nashville will probably push for Kentucky (2009) or South Carolina (never). South Carolina also hasn’t been to Belk or Gator yet.

I think Missouri and State get placed in the two western most bowls. MSU in Texas and Mizzou in Liberty makes most sense.

I got a reservation in Orlando I expect will be cancelled... you can have it.

But seriously, I'll be making one in Nashville and Houston. And keeping the Orlando one for an outside shot at the Outback.

"They" will send whoever they want wherever they want. Sans qb and coach would look nothing like an 8 win team.

So you are saying they are not going to put MSU in one of the 8 equal bowls, give the spot to a non SEC team, and place MSU in Birmingham or Shreveport? With MSU having 8 wins?

You nailed it.

My guess (and its a guess) is that we will play Iowa State in the Liberty or Florida State (if they beat Florida) in the Music City.
