[NU Sports] ALAMO - BLEH! RANT AHEAD

[Jim Bendat]

Re Outback:  I hope we never get down on our knees and beg to go there again. As in 2000, it's shame on them. If we beg to go their bowl in the future, shame on us.

Re Alamo:  I beg to differ. I like San Antonio. I enjoy the Riverwalk, and there are plenty of decent places to eat. As for El Paso, the stadium itself was great, but the city is a total armpit.

>NUSPORTS front page also reports Alamo.  Outback site loaded for me (I hit f5 a lot) and they took Iowa.  Those fricking B----- have insulted us TWICE now.  This is totally ridiculous.  I hope those freakin' pig and corn farmers can't afford to gas up the RVs to get to FL.

>God, I HATE San Antonio.  It was an AWFUL destination the first time.  The weather isn't warm (it was 40s-60se), there's not that much to do, the stadium sucks, the site lines were terrible from the seats provided the schools, and the food choices are awful.  We couldn't find a decent salsa (meaning HOT) anywhere!  Our plan will be to stay in Corpus Christi on Saturday/Sunday or fly in Monday AM and out Tuesday AM with one night of hotel in SA.  At least the matchup is the better of the two (Missouri).  It didn't matter that we didn't win in 00 since we've been to all the bowls since 96 and we haven't won any of them.  I would have rather the conference had dropped the Alamo and kept the Sun Bowl, I LOVED that one.
