W/new Orlando bowl, there will be 40 bowls in 2015 (including national title game), so 78 teams go bowling

Yeah, everybody is a winner.

80 / 125 = 64%

Tiger fans who don't know that by now, haven't been paying attention. Hopefully, our fans with children will see this new bowl as an opportunity to not only support our football program but to also enjoy a nice little family trip. I would probably take a couple of grandchildren along.

Absolutely GA, what a great thing. GTG!

Orlando is spending a boat load of money rebuilding the Citrus Bowl (or whatever it's called). Now that Memphis has Southwest nonstop service to Orlando, this could be a really good deal for us should we get there.

Great news! Hopefully, our tigers will get an invite. First the basketball tournament in 2015 and 2016 and now a new bowl. Go Orlando!

I hope we go the the best bowl possible but if we get invited to the bowl in Orlando I will be a very happy camper. It is about a one and a half hour drive for me.

I would like to see the conference do something with basketball in conjunction with the the bowl game. Always thought the city and University of Memphis along with the Liberty Bowl could have created a holiday BB tournament. More things sports related to do while you're in town for the bowl game.
