This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You missed the point. Alamo is the top selling bowl outside by domerduck

the New Years 6 and this is only measuring the secondary market. This has more todowith who can drive to the bowl game and if the school filled its allocation allotment. Guess what WSU vs Iowa State is outselling LSU vs UCF which is a NY6 bowl and also behind the Citrus, Music City, and Outback bowls. I guarantee if WSU was at the Fiesta Bowl against UCF demand would have been much higher.

Here's the write up on the Fiesta Bowl: The lowest ranked of the New Year’s Six bowls the Fiesta Bowl features a blue blood in LSU and a hungry for respect UCF squad riding a 25 game win streak. Despite Central Florida boasting the highest enrollment in the United States, the fan base is still relatively small and the team lacks the mystique of more traditional college football powers. Additionally, travel costs for both teams to get to Glendale are among the highest among all bowls.

By the way the other point is this is based on credit card states of residence. WSU creates a lot of engineers who go all over the country. Nobody lives in Pullman after they graduate.
