    How much does the AlamoBowl even want OU at this point? I'm sure OU's fans aren't going to be excited about the ending of this season.

    Wow, spell check.

    Unfortunately the ticket sales would be nothing like when UT was in it a couple years back.

    I don't know. Maybe they'd take Tech. Tech fans would probably be more excited about this bowl than OU fans. OU is used to playing in BCS games and for the National le. Tech is used to playing in the 2nd tier bowl games and for relevancy. But I don't really know the ratings or sales figures for things like that, so I'm just throwing it out there as a thought. I'm sure OU would still make a good game.

    The Alamo is a good bowl, so we shouldn't make it sound the the GMAC Bowl or the like. Anyhoo, the last time the goons were in a bowl this low was darth visor's first year and they went to Shatport. The Alamo, who can get a team like ttek or Neb or OSU on any given year, will always go ape when a team like UT or uo (or Ohio/Mich/PennSt) has a poor year and falls into their laps.

    Of the non-BCS bowls, it's easily top 3.

    I figured you didn't.

    I don't remember you saying that either. Wasn't sure if you were going to throw it out there as a thought, so I stopped you before you did. You're welcome.

    now that's probably true.

    even though they take the Big XII #4, the Alamo Bowl is getting so good that the payout this coming year is $2.25 million and is on Saturday January 2nd.

    compare that to the Holiday Bowl that takes the Big XII #3 which has a payout of $2.13 million and is on Wednesday, December 30th.

    For exposure sake, I think we'd all much rather have our respective teams fall to #4 in this scenario.

    No, it is not a Top 3 non-BCS Bowl. For sure the top 3 non-BCS are the Capital One Bowl (Citrus Bowl; B10 #2 vs SEC #2), the Cotton (B12 #2 vs SEC #3/4) and the Outback (SEC #3/4 vs B10 #3). All 3 of those bowls are payouts over 3 mil. The Chick-fil-A Bowl has an ACC payout over 3 mil and an SEC payout of 2.5 (ACC #2 vs SEC #5). Even the Gator has a payout of 2.5 (ACC #3 vs BE #2/ND/B12).

    The Alamo is the 2nd best bowl a B12 team can get if non-BCS.

    The Alamo Bowl's new deal with the Pac 10 might make it better than the Outback Bowl. We don't really know just yet as we'll have to wait a while to see the payouts of course, but either way it'll be a better matchup, IMO.

    If it's not 3rd, then it's a very close 4th.

    Edit: forgot the Gator Bowl.

    Alamo Bowl is a solid 5th, very close 4th.

    I'm not trying to be a and say the Alamo is a crap bowl, because its one of the best out there. Only prob is as far as payout the SEC bowls get more cash.

    I would think OU fans would make the trip.

    I also would think the Alamobowl officials would bust a nut if OU played here.

    Texas Tech is going to the Alamo Bowl. And some Big Ten team. Last I checked no update on that.
