Bowl is not over yet

I hope you all get what you want.

I understand that traditionally the Gator Bowl has a name that people know. But, the Music City is a better bowl.

If fans would rather have fun in Jacksonville than Nashville, cool.

But, technically, at this point in time, the Music City is better.

I would question that opinion, friend. The Gator Bowl has been around since I was a kid playing backyard ball with Knute Rockne. Besides, the players want to go to FL warm weather for a bowl, based on what I've read. And it's a January bowl.
 
Too many bowls? For who - people who don’t like watching CFB? We’re about to go 8 months w/o any CFB games so I say the more the better. Besides, bowls are rewards for the kids putting in the work so don’t worry about it.
I've never understood the "too many bowls" argument. I love college football and the season is over in a heartbeat. I watch 6-6 teams from other parts of the country that aren't playing for any kind of championship and I still enjoy the games because I just love college football. It's all for entertainment so what do I care if they aren't ranked.

This is the first year in a few that fans have been able to complain about WHICH bowl game we go to, or who our opponent is to be, instead of
sitting at home. Be grateful!!!
 
Moved there from Memphis in 2012 when I was 19. Boring as all hell all there is to do there is drink. I can do that at home
All that's needed in Nashville are a couple of major casinos. I never fiqured out why they closed Opryland down. I get your point on the drinking because that's all downtown is.
 
So how many titans fans get rooms and eat out multiple times, maybe spend an extra day to go shopping? Same for a press game?

Not a big deal but not buying the tourism folks would back you up.
Sports council wanted Vols to sell out the game, or come close, but they don't count on Vols fans spending a lot of money downtown. Most will show up, pay to park, go to the game, and go back home same day. The Keith Urban, Jason Isbell free concert that will probably draw over 200,000 people if the weather is good, is the downtown tourism driver for the days leading up to NYE.

Well if you have $300K to spare, can I have $50K?
Thanks in advance

Lets see here, UT received 43.1 million last year and DIDNT even go to a bowl, so is that what we should do again? I mean you are worried about 200K which is the difference by bylaws it states the team with the music city bowl gets to retain 1.525 plus their travel expenses can be deducted from the amount that the SEC receives. While Gator pays out 1.325 million. So that is a 200K difference that most likely gets made up in travel expenses UT gets to write off, by flying to Jax instead of riding a bus to Nashville, plus a few extra days of stay in Florida. So yeah 200K means NOTHING to UT in the grand scheme of things or we wouldnt still be paying Butch many millions to NOT coach anywhere and be a Bama intern.

So yes if my choice was to freeze my butt off in Nashville to watch them play a team Kensucky spanked earlier(and yes I have been to a MCB game and it sucked donkey balls, I spent most of my time in the box lounge watching it on a TV so I didnt freeze my nuts off) OR UT could play a team that Kensucky didnt spank and it be in Florida which yes can be cold, but has a much better chance of being about 20-30 degrees warmer. Also last years ratings for each game on TV Music City 2.57 million watched. TaxSlayer(Gator) 5.14 Million so exactly twice as many eyes watching the game at that prime time slot. If that happens again this year it will be UT's highest ratings game this season.
