Speaking of bowl games, whats the big deal about the Rose Bowl?
It’s a dilapidated stadium with awful sight lines (unless they’ve rebuilt the place since 2001). Along the same lines, if the Big Ten were to add teams from the Big XII, would you want to bring along any of the Big XII’s bowl ties as well? MnB Dave: The Rose Bowl!? Dilapidated!?!? Never mind.

Now, if we’re talking about stealing a bowl game from the Big XII there’s no question; the Cotton Bowl. I know there’s no shot in hell of that happening, but whether it’s the Cotton Bowl at Jerry World or the Cotton Bowl in the State Fair Grounds in Dallas, I want it. There’s so much history there.
