Personally, I want a Florida bowl because the optics and image is just better with all Florida bowls. The bowls in Florida have some names that carry weight: Gator Bowl. Citrus, Orange Bowl. They are some of the established bowls.
Bowls
- Thread starter twenty02
- Start date
When IU played in Phoenix in the Insight Bowl in 2007, we had the most fans of the 4 teams playing in bowl games in that city that year. One of those 4 teams was Oklahoma.
IU fans travel to bowl games, especially in warm weather.

A place where you can really "boiler up".PU's bowl game destination has already been decided:
sounds to me like you're definitely coming down with something.
I don’t think Outback Bowl is out of the question ,if PSU makes a NY6 bowl, which they should. Iowa has been 2 of the last 3 , and UM went in between, so that leaves us as the next best option.
Depends on which bowl they get. If it’s the Orange, the B1G loses its Citrus tie-in, which would mean MINN likely gets the Outback.
This is my opinion also. If we can’t get a Florida Bowl, I prefer Nashville vs a Kentucky team of Cards or Cats. It is a great regional matchup for S. Indiana fans and Kentucky fans....
That’s a different kind of bowl.... and it looks like it is already full...... I’m sure it is well attended also.
Big Ten might choose not to put us in the Pinstripe or Redbox since we were in NYC 4 years ago and Santa Clara 3 years ago, unless it's still a rule that 7+ win teams have to be selected over 6-6 teams.
Suggestion: If we go to Santa Clara, do not go on the IU bowl excursion if they stay in San Francisco. We used it last time. Got there after the party the first day. Hotel had to kick all the panhandlers out each morning. Panhandlers all around the area we stayed in and were aggressive. Hotel was over an hour from the stadium and pre- and post-game arrangements were loose and sloppy. Stay in Santa Clara or somewhere closer.
It is. Sort of. A team with 7 wins can jump an 8-win team, but a team with 6 can’t.
Then that all but guarantees us Pinstripe. Gator if PSU gets in NY6.
Thank you Illinois for beating MSU and losing to Northwestern.
At least four sites project us to be in the Gator...that would be awesome...

I think that is the official Gator Bowl promo commercial. I’m all in on that!!!
One of the ESPN guys has us in the Gator Bowl, the other has us in the RedBox. If it's the Gator or Music City, I'm going for sure. I'll go to Cali if it isn't too outrageous for flights and I don't have to spend two full days of travel.
Selfishly, I hope it isn't the Pinstripe. Our family Christmas gathering is the 27th so that would be a non-starter.
Right now that Gator/Music City slot looks very possible for IU. The big question will be which bowl will take a B10 team. The MC Bowl certainly seems to be angling to ignore the 'three teams over six years' stipulation. On Twitter yesterday:
They also tweeted about UT/Vandy and the Iron Bowl. A back room deal to bring IU to Nashville and send an ACC team with regional interest to Jacksonville (FSU? Miami?) may be beneficial to all involved.

You are correct about ESPN. I'm going if it's Gator or Music City as well...not California and likely not NYC. Nashville hotels will be tough, especially if we play Tennessee or Kentucky, so I went ahead and booked tonight and will cancel if it's not Music City.
Fish was on the Dakich show today. When asked the question Fish said Gator or Music City...jus sayin
Well at least he remembered the names of the bowls.... I love Fish
I heard Nashville making snug push to get IU . I would rather it be Jax still will be tough niece is getting married the next day. But hey only 4 hours though.
Oh....so Jockitch has suddenly taken an interest in IUs bowl destination?
Two weeks back he was calling IU a fraud. I don’t see why any representative of the university would give that clown the time of day.
This bowl is more like it!
I think I see Purdue Pete’s head peeking up out of that mess!!
He has Fish on every week. Always nice to hear Fish thoughts on IU football and basketball. I was driving up to Muncie dropping off my son and caught the segment.
