weagl1 1,781 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I like the matchup and the bowl. If we couldn’t have a NY6 game I would rather see us in Tampa than in the Citrus and lord knows everyone was tired of playing Wisconsin. We especially wanted to avoid any chance of that because no one would have showed up to watch that again. And I don’t think the Bammer fans are going to show up for the Citrus either.

Cardin Drake 1,813 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Given the only realistic chance of NY6 game was the Cotton bowl against Memphis, I think things turned out just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have been an interesting game. Our OC came from Memphis, so it would turn into the Dillingham bowl. Memphis runs a similar offense and (obviously) plays weaker competition. We would have had an easy NY6 win. I would have preferred that to playing an overmatched team in the outback bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that he pointed out who Auburn's 3 losses were, the strength of the SEC, then discussed Penn State/Wisconsin and began pointing to standards. Awareness of who you played, where you want to be, respecting them, and doing what it takes to make/stay that level. Like his thoughts on the bowls. Last year is last year, it is something for people to do in the off season, but has nothing to do with the next year. Looks like he would enjoy hockey also.

abw0004 10,109 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Well, the first time we played in the Outback Bowl we won the National Championship the very next season... I actually thought we would get a New Years Six bowl, and wanted it for our seniors. Outback Bowl isn't bad either. We definitely have played in worse.

Actually you might want to blow up your OP anyway, LOL... The 2010 Natty didn't come after the first one either. In fact, Auburn was not only in the '96 Outback bowl (losing ugly to Penn State) but was even in the Hall of Fame Bowl (which Outback bought the naming rights to), beating Ohio State, in 1990.

I think it was the old sombrero stadium too, which wasn't particularly nice. I wasn't down here back then, but I have been to Raymond James and it's actually a fantastic venue now. I was at the '10 Outback Bowl against NW and had a great time.....even though it was cold & rainy then too. For that matter, I think the '90 HoF Bowl was rainy too.... So, apparently it rains on New Year's Day all the time down here, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bowl game with 24 undefeated seasons on the field? Minnesota hasn't been successful lately but they have pedigree - 4 national football titles, most recent one just before I was born (1960😁). On a less whimsical note, many of our players are not exactly tweeting happily about the committees rankings for Wisco and others and they apparently feel we should be in different bowl. If our potential high draft picks forego (understandably IMO) playing in the bowl game and others are not happy about going to Tampa this starts looking like the UCF bowl. I'm thinking this group has way more leadership though than that bunch. I hope and think you are correct on this. AU needs this bowl win and our players and coaching staff will have to be serious about it to come out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minn. higher in the Big Ten than 3 loss Michigan and Wisc going to the Rose Bowl as the loser of their championship game .... Looks like the bowls followed the formula Do some folks just like to bellyache or is there some reason that AU has been "dissed" which some folks are saying? I guess the upside of this issue is that AU players will want to "show 'em" and be ready to play when the game comes. I really don't see Minnesota as a pushover expect a good game.
