Time of Bowl Announcement

[Machina]

I know there is a show on ESPN tomorrow, but does anyone know if the bowl that U of A is in and the opponent will be announced or leaked before that?

I don't think anyone has a leak time ;)

[mytwocents]

I've got your leak......Alamo or Holiday.

[Cats101]

Depends on who Alamo wants. They may take the mutts after they beat Wazzu,

Depends on how much money a team can make. If OU is in the Alamo than you can guarantee an Arizona team. If Nebraska is taken than we will drop.

Correct-a-mundo!

[splitsecond]

If Nebraska goes Alamo, Alamo gets to pick between the team Nebraska curbstomped last year, and the team Nebraska curbstomped this year.

If Nebraska pulls out a win tonight, the Stoops bowl will happen. Its a no brainer.

[WildcatBlitz]

I honestly want a Stoops Bowl! I really do.

[splitsecond]

If Nebraska's offense plays this terrible in a bowl game, we stand a chance.

[smashmode]

As a Dawg fan..we too are hoping for a stoops bowl.

Me too but we will hearing about how heart wrenching it is from the announcement time till end of the year. Not from the fans but Stoops. Seriously I never understood it. It's college football. It is inevitable. Man up Stoops.

Especially when there are 2 possible bowls between the big 12 and pac 10 every year.

Exactly. Says a lot about Stoops. I don't think Bob would be complaining about playing his brother.

[JimmyPeterson]

Oklahoma pulling ahead of Nebraska in the 4th now.

CBS is projecting:

- Washington vs. (#14 in the BCS) Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl
- Arizona vs. (#12 in the BCS) Missouri in the Holiday Bowl

[azpenguin]

My sister married into a family of hardcore Sooners. They sooooo would love a Stoops bowl.

[djcat2]

As a Dawg fan..we too are hoping for a stoops bowl.

Dawg fans just want to go to a bowl...any bowl, having not been to one since 2002 and especially with a 6-6 record plus having to squeak out a win againt the last placed 2 win Cougs.

[Irish27]

Cats in the Alamo, Washington to the Holiday.

I hope so. The Alamo Bowl is on the Wednesday.

The Holiday Bowl is on the Thursday at 7pm this year, but Arizona-Oregon basketball is also at 7pm from Eugene.

Well, Nebraska is on their way to losing to Oklahoma. I don't think anyone in America wants an Arizona/Nebraska re-match.

[Cats101]

Exactly. The mutts sucks. If NU losses this game, I don't think anyone wants to see NU spank them again.

[Cats101]

Well, Nebraska is on their way to losing to Oklahoma. I don't think anyone in America wants an Arizona/Nebraska re-match.

It's a lose-lose situation. NU already raped Washington THIS season.

[djcat2]

Irish that article seems more like a projection than confirmation. Then again it make sense because Holiday probably don't want a repeat, especially one that failed to score last year and on a 4 game skid. Plus it is closer for Cats fans to travel to than UW fans.

[PieceOfMeat]

so does this mean it'll be nebraska vs us?

[WildcatBlitz]

I hope Alamo pick another team other than Nebraska!

Only way it happens is if Cotton picks someone besides aTm I think

[djcat2]

Ah shucks.....if so we are gonna hear the 33-0 from annoucement till the game.

[JimmyPeterson]

Musburger just said Nebraska in the Insight in Tempe. At least that's what he implied - he said Nebraska would face a Big 10 team next.

CBS has Nebraska vs. Iowa projected as well in Tempe.

- Interesting. I saw that there was no Alamo Bowl rep. at the UW/WSU game, only a Holiday Bowl rep.

I'd guess then that it's Arizona vs. Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl.

[azcat49]

Tough situation for the bowls. A rematch of a regular season game or last years bowl game, ugh. May have to play Okie St back to back

Tells you that playing 9 conference games is not smart, only 4 qualifyers out of the PAC

That would suck for Nebraska.

[PieceOfMeat]

Nebraska to the insight bowl?
rofl

[azcat49]

Iowa and Nebraska would be a HOMERUN for the Insight and Tempe. Lots of travelers and a rivarly to boot. Can't wait to see that one for myself. Would love to cruise their fan boards a few weeks prior to the game

[Irish27]

ESPN has the Cats in the Alamo vs Nebraska or Oklahoma State. They have Washington in the Holiday against either Missouri or Oklahoma State.

[Main Event]

Oklahoma St = Blackmon has over 200 yards receiving against our secondary

Nebraska = most likely a repeat of last year


Lose lose situation :(

Sad but true:hangref:

[Irish27]

I don't want to play Oklahoma State because the Cats go to Stillwater next year.

So?

Sun Bowl would put us up against Miami (http://www.elpasotimes.com/ci_16743389?IADID=Search-www.elpasotimes.com-www.elpasotimes.com).

To be honest, that is the matchup I would personally want. :(

So Stoops can scout for both teams ;)

I think I am pretty aware that we would take any bowl and like it, but if we had a preference, it would be the Holiday bowl.

[smashmode]

ESPN has the Cats in the Alamo vs Nebraska or Oklahoma State. They have Washington in the Holiday against either Missouri or Oklahoma State.

I would like this..

[Zona_Soccer10]

If we play Nebraska again, ESPN will have a field day beating us up about last year.

[Saint James]

If we play Nebraska again, ESPN will have a field day beating us up about last year.

Maybe that would be enough motivation to work harder.

[losgatosaz05]

I think with UDUB winning last night that the Alamo Bowl will pick them and send the Cats back to the Holiday Bowl.

[Machina]

People will watch on TV no matter what. For actual tourism and paid attendance and competitiveness, I think it would be a no brainer (knock on wood), Arizona for the Alamo Bowl and Washington for the Holiday.

[What I See]

Oklahoma St. and the Alamo Bowl would be a perfect fit for AZ. Bring in our Texas and Okie recruits for the game. Can we do that for Bowl season?

[BlueMikey]

The Alamo Bowl will likely take streaking Washington over slumping Arizona as its Pac-10 pick, and Nebraska already played the Huskies. So 10-2 Oklahoma State likely goes to San Antonio, allowing the Insight Bowl to stage a Nebraska-Iowa "Big Ten preview" with Missouri going to the Holiday Bowl. It's still possible that the Insight will take Missouri over the Huskers, though.

ESPN's Ted Miller:

http://espn.go.com/blog/pac10/tag/_/name/bowl-look-120510

* Orange Bowl: Stanford vs. Virginia Tech
* Valero Alamo: Washington vs. Oklahoma State
* Bridgepoint Education Holiday: Arizona vs. Missouri
* Hyundai Sun: No team.
* MAACO Las Vegas: No team
* Kraft Fight Hunger: No team.

[PieceOfMeat]

Yeah, right.

[Bob Dobalina]

Jesus, Washington is going to represent the Pac as the third place team? That's terrifying.

[zonazoo14]

it's deffientley san diego, i know a student manager and knows about it

[Zona_Soccer10]

We could be playing Nebraska, OU, or even Utah. Interesting. I'm definitely tuning into the bowl show. I'm STILL excited!! :D

That is what happens when the entire middle beats each other up. But I'm not complaining!

[ZONACAT]

Okie State source saying it is the Alamo.
