Re: Which Bowl do you want for Vanderbilt?

GATOR, Liberty, Music City, Texas...in that order...I might go to Charlotte if that's where we end up but I doubt it... I wish (for once) the SEC would stand up to the Gator Bowl and insist that we play there... but I know they never have and likely never will...after all we're just Vanderbilt... Hi...
