Baylor fans are FAR more excited about a 6-6 team than we are. Don’t read too much into it.
And we beat them

Timbits?Tabasco cheez-its are ridic. My second favorite thing on the planet that starts with “T” and ends with “its.”
And no, not “Tracksuits.”
We have to stop with the conspiracy theories. CGP lobbying for a bowl that tickets won't sell and fans won't travel. The SEC dictated Vandy should play Baylor because a 6-6 TCU team that lost to Kansas is to intimidating. The truth sucks but it's the truth TCU was picked last and got the Cheez It Bowl. At 6-6 no excuses needed as TCU is lucky to be bowling at all.The Cheez-It Bowl is probably viewed as the better game, but it still sucks. I think the SEC had a lot to do with this placement. They do everything they can to protect their teams in bowl games. They needed a team Vandy could beat. That wasn't an easy task, but there is a school bad enough to live up to that challenge.
13?
hardly, I can recall the only channels in the metroplex were 4, 5, 8, 11, 13, and 39
now time for the really old people to talk about marconi's magic box
Sounds like an Urban Dictionary term
I am actually happy for the players getting to go out to Arizona for a bowl game.
I honestly can’t follow your argument here.
You have a right to like Houston, Stillwater, Norman. Just saying that most people wouldn't put them in their top 100. Fine towns. Good beer. But they are sort of one-and-done locations. Scottsdale has a bunch of luxury vacation resorts for a reason. It's no Hawaii, but it ranks higher than Houston or Waco.

If the conspiracy is true that Gary hand selected this opponent to increase the chances of not having his 3rd or 4th losing season then I can see why. Poor Cal, they have one of the worst offenses in the country. They are playing a freshman quarterback that has around a 51% completion percentage the last couple of games for around 150 yards a game and a QBR of around 32. He's also their second or leading rusher a game getting around 65 yards average the last couple of games. On paper, we should destroy this team, but irony might be at play if we did dodge and SEC team in Houston and karma comes back to get us. If we lose to this Cal team, I think that loss would surpass the 36 point loss that was served up cold in Morgantown this past November.

To me, that says that they think BU fans will travel to a bowl game (any bowl game) because this season was a step in the right direction for them. Contrast that to TCU's fans, who in large part feel this season was a bust and feel any bowl we could get as a disappointment, and thus would not travel well.Getting passed over is far more disturbing news. It shows that we have a perception problem that would hurt us. If the Texas Bowl feels Baylor is a bigger draw than us, I worry about what that implies.

I can easily see the logic to that thought process
No way. I read on here that once the CFP was set, ESPN contacted Gary Patterson to see who and where he wanted to play. Once that was set, they proceeded to set the other 30+ bowls.To me, that says that they think BU fans will travel to a bowl game (any bowl game) because this season was a step in the right direction for them.

Because we didn’t piss down our leg in our bowl game. Congrats on the big win in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Remember when you had a chance to validate your program back to back years in the Fiesta bowl and the Cotton Bowl? So do we!Both teams 8-1 in conference. Baylor won the head to head, but TCU was the "better team". How did you come up with that conclusion?
You forgot about Baylor's classic signature OOC victory in Buffalo!Because we didn’t piss down our leg in our bowl game. Congrats on the big win in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Remember when you had a chance to validate your program back to back years in the Fiesta bowl and the Cotton Bowl? So do we!
As jugband can undoubtedly attest.The men’s room at a highway truck stop ranks higher than Waco.
