Fuck it, I'm ready to start making bowl trip plans.

I saw Chizzzzzzzzad re-tweeting a projection that had us in the Sugar (playing UCF) and it made me want to spend a bowl weekend in the Big Easy.

That said, I'm flexible (really, yoga is paying off) and can readjust if our season plays out differently. So...where do you want to go for some bowl-season Auburn football?

If not Sugar, I would like Cotton. (for purely selfish reasons)

I'm locked in on a BCS bowl. Of course, I'd prefer all the marbles, but a pretty sweet consolation prize would be a BCS bowl in my back yard.

I like that it's a Friday game, hate the location (for purely selfish reasons).

I don't like the implications on our win/loss record, but I could find ways to appreciate a mid-week bowl game in central Florida. That could be subsidized by the corporate overlords.

I could live with Central FL in late Dec or early Jan. We have always tried to take Winter vacations and a bowl game would be a blast. (and expensive).

This is along the lines of where I see us winding up. A trip to anywhere in the FLA would suit me fine.

USA Today says Gator vs. Iowa. They have South Carolina in BCS bowl

Jerry Dumbass Bammer Palm has us in Music City vs. Who Cares. He has A&M in BCS bowl.

ESPN says Sugar vs. either Clemson (I don't want to play them again) or UCF

National Football Post has us in Chick Fil A against Clemson (if that's the invite, decline)

SB Nation says the same as NFP. With A&M in a BCS Bowl. Idiots.

Phil Steele says Sugar vs. Wisconsin

CFN has Chick Fil A vs. Miami

Sporting News says Cap One vs. Michigan

Most of the ones that don't have us in BCS have either A&M or Carolina. Both will have three or four losses by then. We may too.

Jerry Palm can continue to kiss my ass.

Tom Lugenbill said Auburn could be 10-1 going into the Iron Bowl but not a 10-1 team. WTF does that even mean?? We continue to improve weekly and a bad half of stage fright from being undefeated. Fuck it! Let JFF and Clowney play against each other in Nashville.

Hammer meets nail. Not sure we'll be 10-1 going in to the IB but I can say this team has absolutotally, unimpeccably, 100 percentability....improved each week. Without question-inator. I say again that going in to the A&M game, I gave us almost zero chance of winning. Just wanted to be competitive and make a damn good showing. But like a buddy told me that week, "We win Saturday....and all bets are off." And when I look around this conference and the nation, I ain't skeered to line up against anybody with this bunch. (Not that I'd actually be lining up. I'm old. And I'll probably be drinking)

It's not just a mentality. You also get to put the sticker on your family wagon.

Now I can get you the wagon, there's not problem there. The problem is that it might take six weeks. Now, I owe it to myself to tell you that if you're taking the whole tribe cross-country, the Wagon Queen Family Truckster... You think you hate it now, wait 'til you drive it.

I am damn near equidistant to both NOLA and Dallas, so I also will take either, for purely selfish reasons.

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2013, 02:47:35 PM »

I'm really hoping for either Sugar or Chick-Fil-A.
