Last week, Wisconsin lost to a Northwestern team who has been beaten by 4-8 Syracuse, 6-6 Minnesota, 6-6 Michigan St, and murdered by Penn St.

Check our last bowl game against Wisc. For some reason Wisc always shows up to bowls better than in the regular season. Then again, Alvarez isnt there anymore either. Ah hell, who knows. Hope you're right. Penn St's D is as good as any outside the SEC. Not sure we could move the ball on em. Oh what the hell am I kidding. Bama had the #2 D in the country coming into the Iron Bowl. If we can get 21 on Bama's D, surely we can get more than 21 on the Nittaly Lyons. I dont think Penn St's D could wear Bama's underwear to be honest. True story.

Wouldn't have been his fault other than the fact that he made the hire.  

Most of the arguments around here seem to stem from what people THINK I would say or do should a certain situation arise.  That's a failed exercise.

When all records are equal the AD absolutely plays a big role in the brokering their perspective bowl invite.  What do you think happened?  The Outback bowl put a bunch of names in a hat and just picked one out?

But was Jacobs not doing a good job of lobbying? All of the other teams had an equal chance and failed. We won the bowl. Begging doesnt work with Outback executives. I think our Athletic Dept did a good job here. And I dont say that often. You know this big pimp.

Okay. Ya'll win.  Jacobs is a fucking awesome AD.  We're damn lucky to have somebody with a head that size and eyes that beady running the department.

Correct.  Plus, they aren't going to announce who Auburn will be playing in the Outback Bowl until the "official" announcement is made.  If Iowa gets a BCS bid, Auburn will be playing Wisconsin or maybe Northwestern.  If Iowa doesn't get a BCS bid, Auburn will possibly be playing Penn State.  Either way.....Hell YEAH!!!!  War Damn Eagle!!!!!!
