ESPN has us playing Kansas or OkieState in the Alamo Bowl.  Please NO.  San Antonio was a big dog in my book.  The attractions, food, venue, and the weather were crap.  We would probably stay in Corpus Christi and drive up just for the game.

I am still unhappy about the Outback snub that got us exiled to San Antonio.

Regardless of where Northwestern ends up we will be there.
Here is my dream list:
Rose Bowl -- PSU and NU win out.  They go to Miami we go to Pasadena.
Insight -- I like AZ over Florida
Citrus, Outback, Champs -- I wish there was still a Miami based bowl, because that would be preference over Orlando/Tampa.  Otherwise it would depend on the matchup, because a bowl win is important.
Motor City Bowl -- Detroit is an easy destination even if it is not easy on the eyes
Alamo -- see diatribe above

I think if we beat everybody and lose either dOSO or Michigan we get the  
Citrus Bowl, lose one more and it is the Outcast bowl or the Champs, but we got  
to beat Minny, they would have a great turnout here, they all spend the winter 
 in Florida anyway.
