What bowl do we play in?

Riddickulous · Nov 28, 2010

The Champs Sports?

AdmiralBackhand · Nov 28, 2010

National championship.. err.. wait.. jumping the gun. Champ Sports and the Las Vegas bowl or something has been vying for attention from ND.

KPENN · Nov 28, 2010

Yeah i'm almost positive it's the Champs Sports bowl.

chyrspchuck · Nov 28, 2010

Champs Sports, espn.com says Las Vegas was there looking at us for the bowl game, I have no idea what that means or why Champs wouldn't take us.

Shamrocks and Shenanigans · Nov 28, 2010

I think the Vegas Bowl was only if we lost, we are going to the Champs bowl.

Epitome · Nov 28, 2010

ND vs. Maryland Dec 28th Champs Sports Bowl

We needed 7 wins. Vegas was there in case we didn't win probably. They might have been looking at U$C too..... Oh wait no they weren't. **** U$C, Haha

Why are you assuming that UCONN will beat USF? They have 1 road win the entire year.

Anyone think or know if Miami is still a possibility? I would love to kick their a$$ and give that 2012 game at Soldier Field a little spark!

We need to turn down the Champ Sports this year and go for one of the PAC-10 spots instead. We can only go to Champ Sports 1 out of every 4 years anyway, so there is no point in doing so this year when we can go to a good bowl with a PAC-10 tie-in. Oregon/Stanford are going to BCS games, and there is only 1, yes 1, bowl-eligible team from the PAC-10 right now, with Oregon St and Washington 5-6 right now. Washington should finish 6-6 beating Wash St and Oregon St should finish 5-7 losing to Oregon. That would leave only two teams from the Pac-10 for the bowl spots, and ND would be able to play in Sun Bowl on 12/31 against ACC #4, or the Holiday Bowl on 12/30 against Big 12 #5. Makes much more sense to take one of those bowls and save the Champ Sports for one of the next three years.

Very interesting points. I guess I shouldn't book my flight to Florida yet.

TexasNDFan · Nov 28, 2010

Holiday Bowl against Texas A&M more than likely, would receive a lot of interest in Texas, while Sun Bowl against NC State or Maryland would probably be a bore to most of the country.

phork · Nov 28, 2010

Champs Sports.

Do we know this for definite yet ?

Champs Sports said if we won out after the Tulsa loss that they would want us... its our best possibility.

mick2 · Nov 28, 2010

Please please please champs sports bowl! I wanna see my Irish this year!!!

Ultimate Penn St. Hater · Nov 28, 2010

Who would we play in the Champs Sports Bowl? Maryland, NC St., F$U?

FSU is out since they will win the ACC. My bet is Maryland, but this is just my opinion.

Irish2015 · Nov 28, 2010

if V Tech wins is there still a chance we play FSU?

NewEnglandGuy · Nov 28, 2010

No.

Champs Sports Bowl is for the #3 ACC team...F$u and V Tech are 1 and 2

It could conceivably be Maryland, NC St, or Miami

Irish Man3 · Nov 28, 2010

I would love to play Miami.
My guess in the end:
Notre Dame vs Maryland in the Champs Sports Bowl

aubeirish · Nov 28, 2010

It's looking like it is going to be Maryland. Depending on the tie breakers... Maryland beat NC state and they are both 8-4. Miami is 7-5, and all 3 are 5-3 in the conference...

Whoever they play, or wherever they go, it will be a big draw. I bet the Sun Bowl will sell out in 5 seconds if they go there, with about 99% of the fans rooting for ND in a louder scenario than they are used to.

Crazy to "hold out" on the Champ Bowl for a better year that someone else said on this thread.

I'm watching the game right now. Thank goodness I figured out how to record games on tv.

WE WON.

IrishLax · Nov 28, 2010

I would love to play a more marquee team like a ranked Texas A&M than some crappy ACC school.

Well, you aren't quite understanding how it works. The Champs Sports bowl has the third PICK of teams from the ACC. That DOESN'T mean they have to take the number 3 team in the ACC. Its quite possible some other bowl that picks before the Champs would want Maryland for a specific reason (proximity to their location). Not likely, but a possibility.

jmurphy75 · Nov 28, 2010

Most likely Champs Sports, hope you guys like to travel! If the Irish do come to Orlando I have no problem helping to set up an Irish Envy tailgate party!

NDFANnSouthWest · Nov 28, 2010

I hope it is the SUn Bowl...so I would be able to see the Irish in person.....when does all this get ironed out...? next week?

What bowl do we play in?
