Penn St got sent to the Pinstripe Bowl, which is interesting to me because PSU is the first Big Ten team sent to the Pinstripe Bowl twice while a member of the Big Ten.  PSU went the first time in 2014,  so I guess its been a while.    So even though Rutgers has been there more than once,  they have only gone once as an official Big Ten school. 

The Big Ten has tried for a long time to make sure no team would go the Pinstripe more than once,  which is why I thought Illinois might get the nod this time.  But Illinois got sent to the Music City Bowl instead this year.
I blame Jimmy Sexton

I don't know if Iowa St was slated for the Rate Bowl,  but I am confident iowa St fans would have enjoyed going to Arizona for the Holidays.  In fact there are a lot of transplanted Iowans that already live in Arizona.

But no,  Iowa St would not have gotten Iowa as its opponent.  Iowa St vs. Nebraska in the Rate Bowl would have been cool, though.
ISU vs UNL would have sold out fer sure - \\

not enough Busch Latte in the state

maybe the Cyclones don't care about beating the Hawkeyes in a rematch?

It's the Gophers, not the Hawkeyes. 

How many of those have you had?

I used to love bowl pools.  Now it feels like only the same degenerates who gamble on NFL preseason games. 

The 24 team playoff is coming because the bowls are dead

The fans and coaches are right there with them.  Same reason Maui is dead.  Throw some NIL in, and maybe

Sorry to hear that Maui is dead,  but I am not even sure what Maui is?

If your bowels are dead, probably need some fiber and hydration.

Rate Bowl
New Mexico vs Minnesota

I'm just hoping that someone with a brain in Madison is watching this game and considering it an unofficial tryout for Eck.
