In the email that came out this week from Mizzou Athletics, season ticket holders and TSF members had the opportunity to:
"Request your Bowl game tickets from the available Bowl Game options listed below. Mizzou will find out it's (sic) Bowl destination on Sunday, December 4. If chosen to a Bowl Game that you requested, your card will automatically be charged for the cost of the tickets for that Bowl Game. All tickets are mobile and will be digitally delivered 4-7 days prior to the game. Thank you & GO TIGERS!​

Our options to 'pre-order' were:
  1. 2022 Las Vegas Bowl
  2. 2022 Birmingham Bowl
  3. 2022 Liberty Bowl
  4. 2022 Texas Bowl
  5. 2022 Gator Bowl
  6. 2022 Music City Bowl
  7. 2023 Reliaquest Bowl
No Gasparilla Bowl. Theoretically, these pre-orders give the AD a chance to gauge interest in which game fans would attend, as well as begin to capture the order soon after the team has become bowl eligible, when the impulse for fans to buy tickets may be at its highest.

So, this raises a lot of questions for me: Is the Gasparilla Bowl really an option? If so, did it just come into play? Did we not plan far enough ahead to know this would be an option? Are we just assuming more fans would attend this game than, say, Memphis ... or does it not really matter? If we go to Tampa, will our sales be lower because that bowl wasn't on the original list?
