Pinstripe Bowl vs Michigan State

Camping bowl and citrus bowl are both in the same stadium in Orlando. Weird.

And the stadium seems to host like nothing else the rest of the year.

Gator Bowl is still an option, either they or the Music City take an ACC team each year. NC State went Gator last year. Given how that bowl typically operates though I doubt we'd get picked by them

I'm pretty sure this is the last year of the ACC/Big Ten's 3/3 rotation with the Gator/Music City that started in 2014, and since an ACC team has gone to the Gator the last 3 years, the ACC is locked into the Music City this year, with the Big Ten going to the Gator. A lot of the bowl agreements switch up after this year, for the 2020-2025 seasons.

Camping World is the only Russell Athletic/Champs Sports/Blockbuster Bowl. It’s been at the same stadium as the Citrus/Tangerine/Capital One Bowl for several years.

The Camping World Bowl was also called the Tangerine Bowl for the first 3 years it was played in Orlando. When it was the Blockbuster/ Carquest/ MicronPC Bowl it was in Miami, then moved to Orlando.

Yeah. It's been in Orlando for several years. Since 2000. Camping World Stadium also hosts the Pro Bowl. It hosted Wrestlemania a few years ago. I assume they host the usual slate of small events, high school sports, and other local events as well. UCF used to play there before they built the "Bounce House" on campus.

El Paso would be cool if we got to play USC. A win of a big name program always looks good. Otherwise I am all about the Music City Bowl, nothing better than Honky Tonking all day and then crossing the bridge to Nissan Stadium (that is if Orange Bowl doesn't happen).

Music City would be great as long as we don't play MSST again, as some have been projecting. I still hear those f*ucking bells.
 
I know this is a common theme but that we're speculating as to where, not if, but where, we are going bowling 7 games into the season seems almost impossible.

The Orange Bowl after the 2006 season was great. For us out-of-towners it was so much fun. You got to see alumni you hadn't seen, in my case, for 25 years.

If we falter and don't make that one, Music City seems as though it would be a pretty good second choice. 9-3 would presumably get us in. For those of you more tuned in to the bowl situation, do you think 8-4 would do it?

But one game at a time. Let's beat State, who always play us tough, and move on.

Music City wouldn't be the 2nd choice, as the Citrus (if B1G is in Orange Bowl) and Camping World would be higher. I'd agree and say Music City would probably be my preference behind that though.

The other options in Music City's same tier are Belk (Charlotte), Sun (El Paso, woof), and Pinstripe (NYC). Pinstripe would be sweet if the weather cooperated (unlikely). If we finish 9-3, it's impossible for us to fall below this tier. 8-4 makes it extremely unlikely.

The appeal of the Sun Bowl to me is that we have never played in it and we rarely play a Pac 12 team. And we have success against those we have played- Independence Bowl win over Oregon, Aloha Bowl win over ASU, Seattle Bowl win over Oregon, beating Stanford in WS. Plus I like the NYE afternoon kickoff.
 
It'd be a good game to watch, if a tough one to attend

I remember 2 years ago when State fans were livid that they were shipped out to El Paso while we traveled down the road to Charlotte. Give me the Belk Bowl all day over the Sun Bowl these days.

But wait, bill George- getting his foxnews cues to goad rjkarl, is calling it socialist. Does his well informed info trump your immersion living there? Or is he fake news? Maybe you were fake living???

Perhaps we're all fake people?


But seriously, I think I'll trust seven years immersion over Trumplstilskin TV "facts."
 
Out of curiosity, I searched flights to El Paso for the day before and after the game and the cheapest ones from RDU are like $500 each. So for flights, tickets, a hotel, and other expenses for two people we're talking at least a couple grand easy to go to El Paso to watch us play some shitty Pac-12 team. No thanks.
 
Really wish the glut of corporate sponsorships for bowls - which was obviously an inevitability - didn’t completely eradicate the original name of some of the bowls. Because if the corporate sponsor changes every five years you’re left trying to trace back what the original bowl was, as in this thread. You don’t always know if you’re in a good bowl or not unless you do some research.

Also some are still corporate sponsor + bowl name (Allstate Sugar Bowl), while others are just corporate sponsor. Why the irregularity? I’m sure money talks, but Camping World got their way while Allstate didn’t?

Even the newer bowls like Belk, which was Meineke and maybe Carquest?, should have also added “Charlotte” at the beginning, to provide the consistency across sponsors.

Interestingly the Peach Bowl went the opposite direction. Became just Chick-fil-A Bowl then went back to adding Peach to the name after CFA.

Just a mess.

Yeah. What ever happen classic bowls like the Poulan-Weed Eater Bowl?

And want a game it was. Great win for the Deacs.
