We should stay home...

Been reading here for a while now. Longtime Dawg. The Sugar against Hawaii is a farce. At Least give us USC in the Rose.

I agree with you and chemdawg completely and would love to see it. My point is that the money, average payout about 17 miliion per team/conference, tends to make programs tolerate the system a little more than we as fans can. Would you pull a no show if someone was going to give you $17 million to show up and do what you love most? I'm more pissed about the fact that it looks like the Rose Bowl may not take Georgia and instead have Illinois play USC just to keep the tradition of the Pac 10/Big 10 matchup. I think a UGA-USC matchup would be the true Championship game putting the two hottest teams in the country against each other.

That's for sure, DawgnLA.

I say if we are going to email someone to plead our case we have a better chance smackin' the Rose Bowl committee around to wake them up and make sure they realize what kind of a team they may be passing up. Why would they want to see a coach who could not compete in the SEC anyways.

I sent an email to the Rose Bowl this morning... same time I sent the one I posted here (and reply), to the BCS Nothing from Rose Bowl, yet! I am sure they are scramblig to answer me!!
