One at a time, please.

 

I've had my potatoes. I am ready for oranges! I also like salsa chips and sugar. Actually, the smell of roses are what I really am going for.



Good lord, imagine Brady Hokes confusion there...

Out of the BCS bowl talk, going to the Grandaddy of them all would be... insane.  Especially if USC would end up in the title game, and we could play the Big Tendozen champion (please be Michigan in this scenerio)


Holy cow - can someone get me a paper bag? - I'm hyper-ventilating!!!!

I personally want Nebraska. The Frank storyline would be epic. Honestly, I keep drawing up BCS scenarios and Rose Bowl seems least likely now that USC lost....  But it's not a bad problem to have!

 

Edit:  Full disclosure, I'm not sure that I've seen crazier things happen than OHIO in the bcs.  These dreams/day dreams are pretty epic.

It's fun to imagine what "could be"...hopefully we end up in a BCS, but we'll have to see how the season plays out. We just gotta keep to the grind.

Also, I think the "Nebraska boots Frank, Ohio finds Frank, Ohio loves Frank, Frank beats Nebraska in BCS Bowl" narrative is epic.

I remember a few years ago Uconn spent like $4 million to attend the Fiesta Bowl.  Ohio University cannot do that.  Detroit or Mobile are our best bets.

Of course, we have to win the next game first.


Please do not spread misinformation. The MAC would get a huge payday out of this. When other non-AQ schools have made the BCS, I believe their conference has given them half of the revenue. In 2010, when Boise St. and TCU both made it, the Mountain West and WAC got $9.8M and $7.8M respectively. That would be more than enough to make Ohio whole if it didn't sell a ticket. I'll try to find more info on the split but let's not start an "Ohio will lose $4M" scare. Non-AQ schools have done very well with selling BCS Bowl tickets and with the revenue derived.

EDIT:

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/story/201...

According to the USA Today, Boise St. posted profits of $2.8M and $1.8M respectively for the 2007 and 2010 Fiesta Bowls. The WAC gave Boise St. $3.2M of the $7.8M it received from the BCS payout in 2010. 

And while UConn lost $1.7M on the 2011 Fiesta Bowl because they could only sell 2,800 tickets, they do get a split of the conference's $30M in Bowl revenue which makes them whole. 



Here is the UConn breakdown.  The $3.8MM they received to cover losses came from all the Big East bowl tie ins being distributed among the conference members plus the annual Big East TV contract.
