Ranking the Big 12 Bowl Games

1.
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
No. 3 Oklahoma State vs No. 4 Stanford
This just has to be No. 1

2.
Valero Alamo Bowl
No. 12 Baylor vs Washington
I want to see the impact RG3 makes in this game.

3.
AT&T Cotton Bowl
No. 8 Kansas State vs No. 6 Arkansas
Many would rank this No. 2, but these are lesser-publicized teams. That matters.

4.
Insight Bowl
No. 14 Oklahoma vs Iowa
If Iowa was ranked higher, I would have moved this to No. 3. They have upset potential.

5.
Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas
Texas A&M vs Northwestern
Northwestern is fun to watch, but Texas has home state advantage.

6.
Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl
No. 24 Texas vs California
Texas will be healthy.

7.
New Era Pinstripe Bowl
Iowa State vs Rutgers
Yankee Stadium is the perfect place to watch Iowa State stretch their offense.

8.
AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl
Missouri vs North Carolina
No comment.

Texas A&M Aggies

The Texas A&M University Aggies football team have been going for over 115 years. Since their establishment, the Texas Aggies have won a national title along with 18 conference titles and has had two undefeated seasons. For about a 30 year period, ending in 1971, the Texas Aggies had a very unlucky time.

Everything was turned around with the hiring of Emory Bellard as head coach who returned the team to the status they had once known. The years after Bellard was at the forefront of the Aggie squad went up and down, before once again being saved by a new head coach in 1981, Jackie Sherrill. During Sherrill’s reign over the Aggies, the team won three consecutive conference titles and two Cotton Bowl Classics.

One of the Texas Aggies’ worst season in school history was recently in 2008 with head coach Mike Sherman, finishing with a record of 4-9 which included a 49-9 loss against the Texas Longhorns.

A long-time tradition for the Texas Aggies is their rivalry with the University of Texas. This rivalry has been ongoing for ninety years and includes the Texas A&M students have a large bonfire on campus each fall. This bonfire symbolizes burning the Texas University team in the next game. This tradition began in 1909 and became sanctioned by the school three decades later.

Big 12 Shout Out: Nebraska Cornhuskers will play on Dec 30th in the Holiday Bowl

I love Bowl Game Season, I may love Bowl Game Season even more than I love my own birthday... its like 10 days of presents! The Bowl Game I love today is the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. The Holiday Bowl Game, played annually in San Diego will feature the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Arizona Wildcats.

Both teams had great seasons, but many critics are saying that the Nebraska Cornhuskers skill and ability to play under pressure (Like Bowl Game Pressure) will lead them to victory against the Arizona Wildcats.

The 2009 Holiday Bowl Game will kick off at 5:00 on December 30th at Qualcomm Stadium.

Go Big Red!

Big 12 Shout Out: Oklahoma State plays in the AT&T Cotton Bowl

The Big 12 made quite the showing in the Bowl Game Series this season... Today I want to highlight the Oklahoma State Cowboys who will travel to the AT&T Cotton Bowl on January 2nd 2010 to face the Ole Miss Rebels from the SEC.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys went 6-2 in the Big 12 this year and the Ole Miss Rebels went 4-4 in the SEC. The two teams met at the Cotton Bowl in 2004, when the Ole Miss Rebels led by Eli Manning beat the OSU Cowboys 31-28.

Cotton Bowl Athletic Association Chairman Kathy Saunders told reporters, “What a tremendous way for us to open a new era at our new home. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our matchup, and needless to say, with these two great teams and a world-class facility, January 2^nd will be a Classic to remember.” As the game to remember don't miss your chance to get Oklahoma State Cowboys Bowl Game Tickets. An Ole Miss Rebels Ticket Site still has Cotton Bowl Tickets, but don't wait these tickets will not last!
