If the Huskies go undefeated and don't get the BCS bid, I'd rather go back to Little Caesars if it meant we could play Minnesota, Northwestern or Indiana (if they can all get to 6 wins).

You might, but I doubt our Huskie Players & Coaches would say that.

I'd guess they'd rather go to Mobile but would pass on that to have a chance to beat a 3rd Big Ten team.

1k Huskie fans go to Mobile to see NIU play a Sun Belt team
Vs
5-15k Huskie fans go to Deteoit to see NIU vs a 6-6 B1G team

Both areas we recruit heavy have their up and down sides.

If we go to Detroit, I will do my part to increase attendance a bit by buying lots of tickets to donate to the military.

If we don't get to a BCS or high-profile bowl, I would love to go to the LCPB, even if we are in Motown 3 weeks before that.

I will be optimistic and provide this fearless prediction...both Fresno and NIU get in


Sugar Bowl

Northern Illinois vs Louisiana State

Fiesta Bowl

Fresno State vs Baylor

LSU in New Orleans would be nuts.

That would have to be a log jam of SEC and P12 teams ranked 1-14 to happen.

I have friends in Glendale and BR so either one works for me.

I think Louisville would have to lose another game also. Their fans traveled rather well to NO last year.

Jeremy Hill would run for 75 yards a carry on us

Any guesses at an NIU-LSU spread? 16.5?

"Diehard does New Orleans?" That's scary!

I would love it just because of the amount of **** talking I would do before the game.

Sugar is a much easier drive for you Huskie Bob!

True, but I'm there no matter where we play! Even the LCPB the day after Xmas.

Not to mention New Orleans on NYE

Funny story with LSU... I was in Houston for work about a year ago and noticed a few people with LSU plates which didn't seem strange, but then did a double take and notice they were state-issued Texas plates! I couldn't believe it. The state of Texas offers LSU plates.

Illinois issues Notre Dame plates. The only school outside of Illinois that they do that for.

this may be pointless, but its part of the 'fun' of pursuing a BCS bowl. We wouldn't give two poops if BCS weren't in the picture.

True, but it is... So let the good times roll.

Just get to number 14 and let the chips fall where they may. Everytime a top 14 SEC team plays a top 14 SEC team , root for the lower BCS seed, that's our best chance right now, get to 14 and have SEC cannibalism.
