This DEF improves the bowl game we will be going to. What bowl does it look like we will be heading to? Personally, would love to see the Texas bowl or Mayo bowl.
What Bowl Now?

Make it stop. Anything but that bowl or the Libery bowl.
We haven't been to the Reliaquest bowl (formerly Outback) in forever. We've also never been to the Texas bowl.
“Like every bowl week, there’s always a lot of moving parts,” Danny Morrison, executive director of the Charlotte Sports Foundation, which operates the Duke’s Mayo Bowl, told the Herald-Leader this week. “It never fails that there’s some kind of pivoting and movement within the different scenarios that are presented. “But, let me just say this about Kentucky: We loved having Kentucky here in 2019. Great crowd, great experience. An excellent game. So, we’d be thrilled with Kentucky if it works out that way.”

I would love the Texas Bowl bc it gives us a Big12 opponent. I think that bowl tends to go with an SEC west team, but would love something new.
I hate that we've missed out on the Outback/Reliaquest bowl. I have family down there so free room and board to go to that game. The Texas Bowl is usually reserved for an SEC West team. It doesn't have to be Missouri and Vandy played in it in 2017 & 2018, but outside of them it's typically been an SEC West team since they aligned with the SEC.
Yes, but Mizzou is really a “western” team. Their tourists are as likely to hit Texas for the beach in winter as they are Florida.
I would do Texas Bowl, but it would be a tougher drive than Mayo.
I think it's more because we have played in bowl games 14 times since the Music City Bowl was introduced and 6 of those games have been the Music City Bowl.
It's pretty hard to change perception of a bowl game simply cause a marketing gimmick now says it's important.
I thought I read the other day UK has already told MCB no...???
Uhhhhh Folks, for the umpteenth time, the current structure of the SEC rules do not allow repeats among the "Group of Six Bowls." Only the Citrus is allowed to field repeats, as they insist on "the first out" of the NYD6 Bowls . . . LSU being their most recent repeat.
I really hope the Missoura fans don’t get in the gulf whata in December cause it’s freezin’ hack 🥶🍺
Payout of non New Years day bowls with SEC tie-in.
Citrus 8,224,578
Reliaquest (Outback) 6,400,000
Texas 6,400,000
Music City 5,700,000
Gator 5,350,000
Mayo 4,780,461
Liberty 4,700,000
Las Vegas 2,900,000
Birmingham 1,374,545
Gasparillas 1,125,000
Yet, the Gator Bowl is perceived as better than Texas or Music City.
And it used to be farther down the payoff list.
But with a 70 year history and in the state of Florida when most SEC fans like to be there . . . yeah, I would take a Mayo bath to swap,
Agree, there are 5 SEC teams without a bowl this year 4 of which were in bowls last year. At least UK ain't one of them.
Extend that thinking to the last eight seasons, and only four of fourteen have bowled every year.
Music City Bowl is a great experience but Charlotte was good as well. Any of the opponents mentioned are fine. Closing out with a Bowl win and a win over U of L is a nice way to end 2023. I really like bowls and competing through December. Easily driveable as well.
Always prefer FL bowls, late Dec weather in Nashville/Charlotte grid can be iffy.
