| Cotton Bowl to Change and Move
It'll become the Dallas Football Classic in 2011, move to the new Dallas stadium and feature Big Ten against Conference USA and the Big 12 on a rotating basis. |

| Take out a pretty good SEC team for a conference USA team, are you kidding me? What is Jerry Jones going to do the first time ECU plays in it and brings 2,000 fans?

| Why not just add a new bowl game, it seems like the newest trend.
The Cotton Bowl is a pretty old game, I have a hard time believing this one. | |

They were in the Aloha Bowl a few years ago, and brought more people than Boise State.
I'm guessing the SEC will pick up another bowl affiliation. I wonder which that will be. | |

| The team shake-up is one thing, but moving it out of the actual Cotton Bowl absolutely sucks. The place is a college football icon. | |

| Cotton Bowl vs. KSU
I remember going to the Cotton Bowl a few years ago while living in San Antonio, drove up to Dallas for the game. The absolute worst performance by a TN football team in recent memory. I actually felt bad for Kansas State, they get a good bowl game and this is the best competition they could get. That's where I saw what looked like the players would have rather been anywhere but at that game. They could not run, they could not catch the ball, they could not tackle and I think the kicker shanked every ball that touched his foot. The most pathethic performance of all time...to include the Ohio game this year or the Wyoming game last year. And that was the coldest stadium on the planet. I am so glad the leadership has changed and there seems to be a spark back. GO VOLS Quote:

| I was gonna say, The Cotton bowl has been around a long long time and I didn't really think they would just up and get rid of it...It should be a BCS bowl IMO | |

| Story is all wrong
I live in Dallas. Cotton Bowl will now be played at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington (Jerryworld). Dallas is adding a SECOND bowl game at the Cotton Bowl site in Fair Park. So now Dallas has two bowl games.
If the Vols come to Big D, they will play a Big 12 opponent in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
Come on down and let's show Texas the real UT. | |

| So the Cotton Bowl will become a BCS bowl, and the new bowl game in Dallas will drop the SEC to add the C-Usa? However, the Gator Bowl will now be an SEC bowl game. Did I get that right?
