“I think we’ll go do the best we can to go find a bowl that will fit hopefully what we’ve accomplished,” Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart told Jennifer Smith of the Herald-Leader after the Cats’ 41-38 upset win at No. 11 Louisville on Saturday. “I think that will be something our fan base can jump on board and be a part of. I’m excited about that.”

Chatting with Jared Lorenzon today and his feeling was maybe the Music City Bowl!

We will have some options this season after beating Louisville.

Liberty, Independence, Belk and Music City are the top 4 names mentioned!

I would prefer Nashville....I bet they get some other place, though.

Matt Jones hinted this afternoon that KY wasn't going to be in Nashville!

He may be hinting elsewhere but I don't see us replacing an SEC team in one of these bowls below. But if it was I think it would have to be the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. We almost beat Georgia and the folks down there might want to see us play there.

2 Jan Sugar Bowl New Orleans LSU
Cotton Bowl Dallas Ft W A&M
Outback Tampa FLA

31 Dec Tax Slayer Jacksonville TENN
Citrus Bowl Orlando GEOR
Orange Bowl Miami AUB

Looking more like the Tax Slayer Bowl.

Tax Slayer Bowl would be great!

Word is that if Alabama beats Florida, Kentucky is the first choice for the Taxslayer Bowl (Formerly the Gator Bowl) in Jacksonville, FL.

Bama is a 24 point favorite over Florida, TaxSlayer Bowl here we come.

Am I missing something? I thought that game was Saturday, and Bama beat the snot out of the Gators.

You are right Norm, Bama destroyed Florida Saturday afternoon.
