Alamo: Pros: More prestigious bowl game, higher payout, Indoor stadium Cons: in conference opponent

Pop Tarts: Pros: better tourist destination, out of conference opponent Cons:lower payout, lame bowl name

Alamo vs Pop Tarts Bowls

Payout doesn’t matter. It all goes to the conference anyway right?

It matters, it increases the size of the pie that the distributions are cut from

Saxa

But if ISU goes instead of BYU, it doesn’t change the payout for the conference

cougaman

8:12am

Yep, you're right. Math brain hasn't warmed up yet this morning

Saxa

8:17am

We don’t have a full share though right?

Is the distribution even?

One is crazy good; the other unforgettable

vs Clemson in Orlando or vs the Buffs in Texas are the most likely opponents

You might want to mention which bowl you're talking about

Give me the Texas Bowl against LSU or A&M…

"In Conference Opponent" doesn't bother me as much in this instance as it A)

Dawg, it's because Pop Tarts are delicious. It's the perfect sponsor and perfect

Pop Tarts are disgusting

San Antonio is a beautiful vacation spot

Also, I think it has the biggest SeaWorld. I don't know how many theme parks you

RoboKayne

Fiesta Six Flags

protip: Dolphin Lagoon and Explorer's Reef at SeaWorld are free. Before you go

RoboKayne

We went a few months ago and I think parking was $30 for seaworld.

Pro to pop tarts…you get to eat the mascot.

if we go to Alamo Bowl, don't try eating the Alamo. the Texas Rangers do NOT look kindly on that

Ozzy ate a bat at the Alamo or was it he pee'd on tha Alamo?

BYU Grounds

The PopTart bowl is one of the few I enjoy. Watching the PT enter the toaster...

The Alamodome is a terrible venue for a football game

Camping World Stadium isn’t that much better

runningryan

Disagree... it's a great stadium in a terrible location

Coug

11:07am

Couldn't disagree more. Camping world is truly terrible. Alamodome is great.

I've been to the Cheez-it Bowl and the PopTart bowl the last 2 years...

Coug

11:10am

I was there in 2021 and it had just rained all afternoon.

rad dawg

I don't want another in-conference match up.

I’m biased as I live in S. Carolina: pop tarts bowl against Clemson! Everyone

We share the payout with the B12. Who cares about the payout??

Magneto

10:12am

A: the big 12? Also, don't we get some larger share ourselves? I thought some

RoboKayne

10:32am

Would the Pac12 claim Colorado's payout?? I'm curious how that works.

Magneto

12:48pm

I'll take the Pop-Tarts Bowl against Clemp-son. A CU matchup is boring. Also,

Diablo and Doc

10:27am

It’s the Valero Alamo Bowl. It has a sponsor too.

To me the fact there an in conference foe is no big deal because…

kahuna

kind of like when we played Gonzaga in the tournament right before joining the WCC

byujag

11:07am

I want Alamo, but vs USC, Washington, or even Wa St. Not In-Conference.

Coug-Ida

11:03am

No one remembers the Alamo

Blusox

11:30am

If we play CU does the payout go to the existing Pac12 teams or us?

Kolipoki

11:31am

Payout goes to the conference.

BYUHgrad

11:38am

So the Big12 gets to double dip on the payout because it’s B12 vs B12?

Kolipoki

11:46am

I do not want to play a conference opponent. It needs to be against SEC or BIG10

Powerbait DPM

12:14pm

Do bowl games even matter if not the CFP? So many guys sit out. Playing CU w/o Hunter and Saunders would be boring.

Cougstreak

12:36pm

Coach Prime said they would both play, he said this yesterday.

Magneto

12:50pm

What was the pop tarts bowls original name?

The Sunshine Classic, played as the Blockbuster Bowl.
