  • Check your email, Sean. Sent you two.

    Fiesta Bowl board has fired Junker as president. Big issues regarding money. BCS has demanded the Fiesta Bowl show why they shouldn't be eliminated as a BCS Bowl.

  • That is crazy. The question is, who would replace them? The Cotton Bowl? Maybe the Capital One Bowl (although I don't know if they would want another Florida Bowl)?

    Not the Cotton. They're locked up for three more years with Fox. Guaranteed they won't let the Cotton move to ESPN.

    interesting stuff.

    The Chick-Fil-A bowl has rights owned by ESPN, and has a pretty decent history - it has been around since 1968, and was known as the 'Peach Bowl' until recently. The game has also sold out 11 straight times.

    I can only imagine how good that food would be in the press box woot

  • mad4psu and Andrew, good points regarding TV rights. I did not even think of that.

    I agree with Andrew... the Peach Bowl would be a good choice.

    I know it won't happen because of the TV rights, but I would kill to see the Cotton Bowl included in the BCS!

    Up until my enrollment at PSU, I attended every OU-Texas game since I was 2. The stadium there just has a certain magic to it, an experience unlike any other bowls other than maybe the Orange or Rose IMO. The Cotton Bowl has incredible history too, it is too bad that they won't have a shot to replace the Fiesta. thumbdown

    The original Cotton Bowl Stadium was cool, but I'm pretty sure that the current Cotton Bowl Classic has switched its 'home' to the new Cowboys Stadium. Definitely less atmosphere there.

  • Woops, completely forgot the Bowl System doesn't like traditional stadiums...

    And I call myself a fan....

    That would be great
    But the Cotton bowl in a good position and could be bought out of its espn contract.

    The Cotton Bowl made a move out of its namesake two years ago in favor of The Spaceship in Arlington, Cowboys Stadium, which snatched the title of Ame

    Wouldn't be suprised if Jerry Jones had a hand in digging up the Fiesta Bowl dirt.

    He just so happens to have a billion dollar dome capable of holding 100,000 fans in that part of the country... But if theyre going to continue letting 7-5 Big East teams in, that's probably 80,000 more seats than they need.
