It'd be a little bit of a letdown, but out of the lower tier bowls, at least it has a little panache to it. It's an awesome name and venue (and this is coming from a Mets fan), and it's hard to beat NYC during the holiday season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year has made me greedy...I want to win where ever we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) And I'm still a little bitter over how the last Pinstripe appearance ended. (I still say that damn FG was good.) B) The last time we won a bowl, Bush Sr was president. If we get a lower tier bowl against a lesser opponent, c'est la vie. Even if it is a shortcut, I'll take the bowl win and 9 win season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it is a shortcut, I'll take the bowl win and 9 win season. Exactly what I'm thinking. Any bowl that results in a win. It would take mountains moving for me to be able to go this year so a 9 win season would be the next best thing for the program, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the panache and I also think that field goal was good last time we played the pinstripe...but I really want to see these kids from Florida rewarded with a bowl in Florida where hopefully their families can attend the game...and I would assume it would benefit our future recruiting.

Lol. It’s almost a lock for The Vols so im hoping we get music city and don’t have to play them. I went to the last gator bowl where Tennessee beat Iowa and it was a lot of fun but knowing one of my teams would lose takes the fun out. I’d def be rooting for iu though. We need to hit 9.

I'm a big UT fan, as well. I've been a UT game the past 3 years. I was at the So Carolina game this year. Insane atmosphere. ND cant compare.

Artesian_86 Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I was curious about IU's possible bowl payout..... I listed the two potential bowls that IU is getting the most attention from...The Gator Bowl and the Music City Bowl.... Doesn't the winning team get more of the payout?

I went to the Georgia game a few years ago when they beat them the last second on a field goal and I’ve been to a game every year the past 7 years. Neyland is nuts. Been to 2 Alabama games. I won’t go to another one of those. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 UTs WRs would really worry me. Jennings and Callaway can flat out play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1215 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Guarantano is soooo Jeckyl and Hyde. He threw for 400 two weeks ago and 100 this week and started 0-7 with a pick. He has a lot of talent and is mobile but Chaney doesn’t like to get him outta the pocket. I would say he’s better than over half the qbs we played this year. Obviously not fields. Maybe closer to UMs qb Patterson. He’s thrown for 15 tds 5 int this year. Only started half the games. Actually had been better coming off the bench. I would say he’s as good as Ramsey.

rogue3542 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 IU has scored over 100 more points than Tennessee has this year. I'd say they should be more worried about keeping up with us on offense should we get matched up. Tenn has better defensive numbers though from a points allowed perspective.

rico Posted December 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I would surmise that I am the biggest UT fan there is on here. But I will call it for what it is.... the SEC. The Vols have played exactly 3 ranked teams this year. They got curb stomped in all 3. They were 2-5 and reeled off 5 straight victories over South Carolina, UAB, Kentucky, Mizzou, and Vandy. Murders Row. Hell, we need to join the SEC East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remembered you in the past saying you were a vol fan. I always say I wish I could merge Indiana’s offense and Tennessee’s defense. Most of the time.
