Here is an article on how Clemson is actually losing money by going to a Bowl Game.

Clemson is preparing for its first major bowl trip in 30 years but the Tigers' trip to the Orange Bowl will not result in a major payday for the program.
In fact, Clemson is projected to take a $185,000 loss for the right to play in the Orange Bowl, according to a bowl estimate obtained by The Post and Courier.
The projected lost dollars underscore a misconception that bowl games are lucrative for programs. In reality, teams traveling to bowl games, even BCS bowls, can struggle to stay in the black financially.
Clemson's profit from last year's trip to the Meineke Car Care Bowl trip?
$26,986. The program cleared a paltry $1,200 in its trip to the Gator Bowl in 2009.

HAHAHAHA. My nickname in college was Otter. I love that movie.
(Yes, I know it wasn't told to Otter)
NOw, I hadn't started drinking, we were making spaetzle, and I was chopping some garnish when I sliced it.
Meanwhile, we did shots of Absinthe and boy that stuff was better in France than it is here.

First off, Absinthe is different here in the states than in Europe.
And, Jaeger/Sambuca shots are great.

I've had absinthe from Canada and just bought some from a liquor store here. I hate black licorice but like Jaegar. There's is no way you can make Absenthe taste good.

That makes two of us (no homo).
Haven't been, but there are a lot of other places in Europe/the rest of the world that would take priority over Paris.

Yeah. There are better places in France than Paris (like Bayeux)
