All I know is we better win this bowl game. USC fans are gripping about getting a crappy bowl game against an “inferior “ opponent. They think they should be playing BYU or Texas or Michigan. We need to put these jerkstores in their place.

They said the same crap when we played them in the Sun Bowl, and we all know how that turned out.

Never in a million years did I believe this would be possible. Best possible scenario for us this year. See y’all in ol’ San Antonio!

Good enough to cancel your wedding plans?

Cincy/Navy Liberty Bowl Dec 29th.
Stadium under renovation.

 

[Frog Attack II]

Wasn't that place (Liberty bowl) under renovation last year as well? What are they doing?

Yeah, worlds longest renovation.

 

[Horned Toad]

Yeah, worlds longest renovation.

Didn’t it take two years for ACS redo? West side first year, then east side.

Never been there, what is it about that place?

UNBELIEVABLY cool. 32 foot ceilings (more or less). Walls lined with stuffed heads of big game animals (North American).

Teddy Roosevelt set up shop in the Minger Bar to recruit the Rough Riders for the invasion of Cuba in the Spanish-American War.

ED: The Gunter Hotel, it’s contemporary, is also haunted and is a cool old hotel.

Funny… I recall that fanbase had similar thoughts in the run up to the 1998 Norwest Sun Bowl….

As previous posters have noted, it's a place practically dripping with history. It's alleged to be the most haunted hotel in Texas. Right across the street is The Alamo. In 1860 (IIRC), Robert E. Lee, when he was U.S. Army Commander of Texas, rode his horse through the doors of the lobby to meet a lady friend. In 1898 the estimable Teddy Roosevelt did indeed recruit the Rough Riders from the Bar downstairs, which he had made his Headquarters, and they recently put up a magnificent bronze of Teddy on horseback in full Rough Rider regalia (Even though they never got their horses, and fought up San Juan Hill and Kettle Hill on foot). I believe the moose head hanging in the Bar was one of Teddy's many trophies.

I personally love the old place, and have stayed there many times. The breakfast is fabulous, and all the Riverwalk is within easy striding distance from the Hotel.

And, sadly, the Cigar Emporium has indeed moved.

Ok, you talked me into it! Booked!

I feel like Wex saying this, but perhaps there are too many bowl games with all the teams opting out. Why why why are there bowl games anymore for anyone who is 6-6 when the better teams opt out? Who is going to want to go to or watch on TV some of these games?

Utter degenerates like myself.

I felt bad for the teams in some of those early bowl games last year. There was nobody at some of those games. Felt like there were more players on the field than fans in the stands.

[Palliative Care]

A few years ago I was flying back home from the west coast feeling hurt, angry and depressed. I thought that there was no worse time in my life. Then suddenly I had a moment of clarity and discovered what a self absorbed fool I was. I was so lost in my own world that it took a text message from work to wake me up. There in the real world was my job caring for others who were sick and dying and the people who managed them.
College football was not worth the amount of emotion stress I was placing on me and others. I have tied ever since not to get lost in the trivial things of life and instead look to family and friends and be a better less stressful individual. I recommend it.
