Official: We get Virginia Tech in the Belk Bowl

[Pig in the Pokey]

I do not want any part of VT, matchup is not favorable to Arkansas.

It'll be Miami. The Troll Bowl.

[hawgsalot]

You're missing the real point here.  "I'm afraid Virginia Tech will beat us like a rented mule.  I want to go to the worst bowl possible because that's where Kansas State is going to be."

Have you seen them play, they would actually be a pretty good team for us.  They remind me of a not close to as good as a defense florida team.  You guys are just talking out of your dark shaded glasses and its getting fairly tiresome.  You do what you do and I bet we win this if that's where we end up

I wasn't speaking for myself.  I was explaining our fans' newfound love and admiration for Shreveport and the Independence Bowl.

Charlotte?  What does it have to offer?  NFL, NBA city, 1.25 million metropolitan population.  No, we want Shreveport.  They have a floating casino!

Outside of the playoffs and the other New Year's Day bowls, what bowl game would excite you?

[Hollywood870]

We can just look at it as a road game against a quality opponent. We'll be an underdog and might just show up and play well. A win versus Va Tech or Miami would take a lot of the sting away from this season.

Don't be so positive.

Arkansas needs to play a dangerous mid major in a nearby toilet bowl.

[Hawgphish]

at what time today will we know what bowl?

[longpig]

One in a neighboring state with a classy name that is or could be confused for a classic.

[Hogwild]

Whats our allotment to sell?

9,000 tickets are allotted to the SEC school invited to the Belk Bowl

[rhog1]

at what time today will we know what bowl?

The Belk Bowl Twitter said a couple of hours 50 minutes ago. So should be in a little over an hour.

thanks.

There isn't an announcement time that I could find.  Mid afternoon till early evening is when most announcements are made.

[Andrew Hogfan]

Finally get a shot at ESPN's Thursday night whore.  The most overrated propped up program of the previous decade. 

NFL Stadium always a plus for a bowl venue.

This x1000 for me.  I would love to play VA tech

[Professor Psychosis]

Tennessee to Music City.  So that's off the table.

[hogbud]

Beating VT would help our reputation among east coast media. We're still trying to recover from Rutgers debacle.

[Mike_e]

Some of y'all need to take a bite of cheese and lay of the whine for a little while.

It'd be fun if it turned out to be VaTech and their first (unoffical) SEC conference game.

[hogcard1964]

One in a neighboring state with a classy name that is or could be confused for a classic.

Little Rock Rice Bowl.  We'd sell it out against Texas El Paso.

I watched them almost beat Clemson last night.

[Dr. Starcs]

I thought Tennessee was a Sugar bowl lock?


Hehehe

Vandy tied an anchor to those plans.

[Atlhogfan1]

Vandy tied an anchor to those plans.

Unfortunately for us.  Pushed us out of a good bowl situation. 

[hogcard1964]

Espn had them in the Outback this morning.

[dallashog83]

If it is not the Belk Bowl the only other option I see is the Texas Bowl in Houston probably against K-State.  Not sure if thats any better since 10 hours to Houston is not much different than going to the Belk Bowl

[hogcard1964]

Did K State accept that bid?

[Pig in the Pokey]

bwahahahahahahahaha, omg it's almost exactly as I pictured him!

[mckinneyhog5]

Looks like the Belk bowl...not bad at all. I'll take whoever they match us with.

[parallaxpig]

Difference as ticket sells go would be large alumni base in Texas plus recruiting plus.

for recruiting it is. We don't get Devwah with the seeds planted in the run-up to the Texas Bowl. I would prefer it to shreveport/charlotte any day because:recruiting!!!

[Inhogswetrust]

Plus better venue and weather usually.

Is Allvol the twin brother to miss state's Stingray?

[Ex-Trumpet]

A lot more alumni in Texas than NC.

[dallashog83]

Did K State accept that bid?

Dont know just an outside guess on my part based on their record after beating TCU yesterday

[longpig]

Is Allvol the twin brother to miss state's Stingray?

Or one and the same,  Allvol is Stingray's fan forum crasher alias.

[dallashog83]

LOL, no was just figuring from Fayetteville not Dallas

As opposed to what?  Not taking whoever they match us with?

that's funny right there

[Cinco de Hogo]

There is absolutely nothing to do anywhere near Charlotte in December.  Even Memphis and Shreveport are better places to be if your taking a small vacation or just a one/two day trip.

I respect Their stance on men in the little girls rooms but Charlotte is not a place to just visit.  The corporate climate though is similar to NWA.
