Proposed Cotton Bowl Game With Baylor

A much better venue as that is their competition among south div. teams. Tech playing Baylor in Waco is always fun. I agree that the cotton bowl location does nothing for Tech. As a season ticket holder living in Plano I am against it. A much better game would be against OSU.

I don’t mind playin in Dallas as long as it’s at Six Flags over Jerry and it is Baylor’s year to be at home. Cause it really would be a home game for us but we should never have less than 6 games in the Jones and probably not less than 7. So if Baylor wants their home game to be in Arlington then let’s have at it!!!! Wreck’em Tech Keep Leach

I would rather play every game in Waco than go to the Cotton Bowl. That place is awful. Is it the $100,000 in travel cost that is keeping us from playing in the Cowboys stadium?

How could anyone see this as a win for Tech??? I mean Tech sells out almost ALL of their home games, and they want us to split profits with a team that barely gets the family of the players to come out?

God, on top of that, I was at the cotton Bowl this year and it was miserable… I had never seen a stadium where every single concession stand had run out of beverages. On top of that, you feel like a rat tunneling through a rickety old ship in that place.

The only way I could see a Cotton Bowl game being enticing AT ALL, is if it were with OSU.

shows how little it takes to get Myers to move a game.

Playing Baylor in the Cotton Bowl would not help the Tech program, mainly because it woul be bringing Baylor up to your level, and sharing revenue with them.

Playing in the Cotton Bowl is fine, because the renovations are nice, but you need to face a real opponent.

I would look for a long-term commitment from someone like LSU or BYU or Utah, someone who would be willing to sacrifice a home game for a non-conference game in Dallas that would help their recruiting. Start out with a 4 year deal to see how it works out and then move on from there.

West Texas recruiting and where did that get us? Sure we gotta keep our locals like Zach and Zebbie, but we gotta hit Hou/DFW hard to hit the next level. Neb is the U of that state and they don’t have a Tech or State to compete with. The reason they were good was because all in state kids were not counter against scholarship #s back in the day because each county had a “scholarship” for them, thus leaving all NCAA acountable ‘ships for out of state kids. They HAVE tradition and that’s what keeps them going. I seriously hope we can put 90k butts on Jones some day, but that is sooo unrealistic now. Look at how good K State was during 90’s and their stadium is like 50k. Okie St. Is pretty good, within an hour of
2mil people and T Boone is only now surpassing 50k.

Not playing a neutral site game is what we’ve always done and where has that gotten us? We have an opportunity to play in our 2 largest population centers with UH and a Dallas game. I don’t have the energy to fix my typos.
