Ah, what wonderful things the birth of social media has allowed us to do. We’ve discovered a great new use for it, and that is harassing bowl games and letting them know that we think the ‘Cats will travel well. This was all spawned from an article saying that the Gator Bowl didn’t want Northwestern. Let’s take a look at some highlights from our tweeting at bowl games. We’ll go in order of bowl selection…
Capital One Bowl:
The Capital One Bowl twitter account is run by an enjoyable follow. And, he’s a Northwestern Alum! There is actually a scenario where NU could basically be guaranteed a bid to this bowl, but that’s a discussion for another time and place.
@westlotwarriors Did you know that you are talking to one of them?

Capital One Bowl (@CapitalOneBowl) November 01, 2012Outback Bowl:
Let me just say, the Outback bowl was maybe the most exciting sporting event I’ve ever witnessed. I had a great time in Tampa (where there are the best titty bars in the nation according to Stevie Janowski) and would love to go back to Raymond James on New Years. They didn’t give us any love, but here’s our tweet anyway.
@outbackbowl Don't you guys want the excitement of the Cardiac 'Cats back at Raymond James this year? #CatsToFlorida http://t.co/lix7cgkt

West Lot Warriors (@WestLotWarriors) November 02, 2012Gator Bowl:
We kind of went crazy and started tweeting at every bowl game we could think of… One bowl caught on.
@WestLotWarriors I like the rallying you are doing towards the Bowls! Good luck, maybe we'll see you in Jacksonville! #CatsToFlorida

Gator Bowl (@Gator_Bowl) November 02, 2012Also there seemed to be a good amount of confusion on the Wildcat message boards regarding who picks first, Gator or BWW. Here is the answer:
@WestLotWarriors we swap the the 3rd and 4th picks from the B1G. This year we get the 3rd pick, so BWW will have the 4th pick.

Gator Bowl (@Gator_Bowl) November 09, 2012Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl:
The BWW Bowl doesn’t have a Twitter account… What year is this 1995? (I wish, because then we would be going to the Rose Bowl)
Ticket Shitty Bowl:
Intentional misspelling. But seriously, when the ‘Cats went to the Ticket City Bowl the stadium was EMPTY and Dallas just isn’t all that cool.
Guess where the 'Cats don't want to go this year... the @TicketCity_Bowl... Oh wait, that doesn't exist does it... #CatsToFlorida

Just a note, the West Lot Warriors are this bowl’s ONLY follower.
@LCPizzaBowl Can you send pizza's to Florida? Because that's where the 'Cats are going this year baby! #CatsToFlorida

West Lot Warriors (@WestLotWarriors) November 02, 2012Orange Bowl:
And just because were feeling optimistic, we gave a shout out to our friends in Miami about the ‘Cats heading to the Orange Bowl. Could it happen? Theoretically, yes. Will it happen? Certainly not. It’s fun to dream though.
@OrangeBowl Suppose the #B1GCats crack the BCS top 14. Would you consider an at large invite? I can assure you we'd bring 50,000+
