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

Dec 2, 8:12am

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

Saxa

Dec 2, 8:17am

We don’t have a full share though right?

Kolipoki

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

Dec 2, 8:21am

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

Dec 2, 10:39am

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

Dec 2, 9:13am

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

Coug

Dec 2, 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

Dec 2, 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.

AltTabbins

Dec 2, 8:54am

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

Dec 2, 10:12am

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

RoboKayne

Dec 2, 10:32am

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

Magneto

Dec 2, 12:48pm

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

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

oilman

Dec 2, 10:33am

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

kahuna

Dec 2, 11:01am

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

byujag

Dec 2, 11:07am

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

Coug-Ida

Dec 2, 11:03am

No one remembers the Alamo

Blusox

Dec 2, 11:30am

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

Kolipoki

Dec 2, 11:31am

Payout goes to the conference.

BYUHgrad

Dec 2, 11:38am

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

Kolipoki

Dec 2, 11:46am

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

Powerbait DPM

Dec 2, 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

Dec 2, 12:36pm

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

What was the pop tarts bowls original name?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Dec 2, 12:51pm

The Sunshine Classic, played as the Blockbuster Bowl.

Wasn’t it the tangerine Bowl for a few years after Florida citrus acquired it?

Coug-Ida

Dec 2, 3:24pm

Yes, also Cheez-It and Camping World.

RoboKayne

Dec 2, 3:34pm

Tangerine is most recognizable to me

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Pop Tart Bowl is the cool kid bowl now after the toaster madness last year
