You know some times, just some times you get exactly what you ask for. I had told people that if we lost to Wisconson i had hoped to play a SEC team in a bowl. What i didnt expect was to get blown out by a bad Wisconson team. So now i have to reap what i wanted. A SEC beatdown with a Pissed off Georgia team who is hunting for blood. And a Nebraska team who clearly wasnt prepaired for the last game so why should i expect them to be prepaired for this one. On God Jesus please help us.

If we win this game, will be a nice win

No its the type of win that would give Pelini another year if we completely meltdown in 2013. Everyone will say oh wow that year was awful, but the year before he did beat Georgia in the bowl game so maybe there is hope for him. So I would like to win the game, but if you guys want a massive overhaul then perhaps losing is the best thing.

[BigRedPowerWagon]

Unfortunately thats the kind of slump that got the Hawkeyes into the position there in now.

[mrandyk]

You all need to look at the bright side. In losing last night we get to face an even higher ranked team than the Pac-12 Champion in our bowl game.

One difference though, in their entire history they've never had more than 3 seasons in a row with 9 wins. We should keep Pelini just to always be better than they are no matter what.

If Oklahoma doesn't get a BCS bid then the Cotton Bowl should have to take them. It would be wrong to take a 8-4 Texas, or any of the many 7-5 teams, over 10-2 Oklahoma.

Suddenly, the game last night doesn't seem that bad.

The only question is when Richt will decide to take mercy on us.

[WAHusker]

probabaly after the 1st qrt. Did you watch them vs Bama? They are going to run for 500 yeards on us.....

[HuskerJax]

I say we run the ball the whole game, take up the entire play clock on every down, no passes, no out of bounds, no time outs. Get it over as soon as possible. That should hold Georgia under 60 points for the game.

[HANC]

Crap...cbssports just switch to Georgia as our opponent..... they had aTm all day....

I am still holding out hope that the Cotton will choose OU-Georgia......2 teams that deserve BCS games vs each other....but in the state of Texas......... an aTm - OU match up with Johnny would be huge

[True to the Red.......Always]

We're f'd. Pack it in Huskers. Kind of like you did last night.

[CheeseHusker]

Terrific.... let's draw someone who quite possibly plays for the national championship if their receiver drops a ball instead of catches it.

You know what.... bring it on. What do we have to lose? We might as well play the best team we can and see if we learn anything.

At least we'll wear red jerseys. (I assume the home team alternates?)

Good deal now I'll have to listen to all the Dawgs fans at work gloating every time I wear my Husker gear. Bad enough I have to listen to all the FSU and Miami aholes. Hmm 8 hours of incessant barking noises outside my office door.....awesome. At least we can all come to an agreement and point and laugh at the Vols fans.

[Creighton Duke]

Very possible that Georgia looks at the trip as more of a vacation than as a buisness trip. They could be deflated from the loss and not really care. Or they could win by 30...

Saw one of the Georgia players mention after the game last night that they were and I'm paraphrasing here "Take it out on whoever we play next" Yeah, an angry team that has more talent that we do at every single position, and a coach who is light years better than what we have. Can't wait for the sunshine pumpers to make the case for how this is a win....

4 losses. 3 of which will be embarrassing.

All four losses will be embarrassing, UCLA just sh#t on themselves several times in the red zone to make the game look closer than it really was. You have to remember that they had set the all time record for yardage in a game until they took a couple of knees at the end of the game.

Until he proves me different, he will be CozBo PeLLLLini....he will lose the 4 L's once he proves that he can coach a season without losing at least 4 games.

First... I want to thank you all.. I was pretty sure it would be a looonnngg time before I could feel better after that heart wrenching loss in the Georgia Dome Saturday.. BUT... after finding this page, I am much refreshed.

Second.... yes... we had 9 defensive players check into the NFL draft possibilities before the season began and the two that didn't were Alec Ogletree and Jarvis Jones because they already knew they were 1st rounders and YES Aaron Murray is the top rated QB in Div 1 and Gurshall (our tandem of TBs) look like a young Garrison Hearst and some Herschel....

The only time that Nebraska and Georgia have met on the gridiron was in the 1969 Sun Bowl. UGA had a 5 - 4 - 1 record entering the bowl game, and Bob Devaney was the Husker's Head Coach. He turned his juggernaut loose on our injury depleted football team to the tune of an embarrassing 45 - 6 beat down!
All of us "old dawgs" have never forgotten how nice Devaney and Nebraska were to us that day, and we will be reminding our players and coaches of how graciously we were treated.

Yes, we will have an angry pack of Dawgs coming your way this year, and it is my sincere hope, and prayer that they will win the 2013 Capitol One Bowl Trophy and administer such a whipping on your team that us "old dawgs" can eventually "Rest In Peace" knowing that we finally got you guys "paid back" hopefully with interest compounded!

Undone, you might not like my reading comprehension; however, my history comprehension is Spot On!

[vineyarddawg]

Allow me to apologize for GaDawg's posts above. He does not represent the majority of the Bulldog Nation. I'm not going to lie and say that most Georgia fans aren't still kicking themselves about the non-dropped pass (feels weird typing that) in the SEC Championship Game that kept us from playing for the national championship, but this is the best bowl we could have hoped for after the loss, and most of us will excited about it after we have enough time to get over the loss last Saturday. I suspect many Husker fans will feel the same way after a week or two separates you from the B1G championship game.

I, for one, am excited about playing a great Nebraska program that is steeped in history and has a great group of fans. I've heard many stories about the "Sea of Red" and the great NU fans that travel with their program, and we're looking forward to seeing y'all in Orlando. I'm sure it'll be a good game.

There's a good possibility that Nebraska will do the same. I had a feeling that would happen when we got sent to the Holiday Bowl after losing the Big XII Championship in '09, and that's exactly what happened.

I'm trying to be genuine here - not looking to piss you off. My point is that after our game Saturday night, nobody here is talking trash. Nobody. We all give Georgia credit (even before the game is played) as being the far superior team.

Take care.

Wow! It looks like I'm not the only one with a reading comprehension problem Vineyarddawg. Nowhere in my posts was I kicking myself for loosing the SEC CG, and nowhere in my posts did I complain about playing in the Capitol One Bowl. Nowhere in my posts did I make the accusation that Nebraska was not a Great University with a rich football heritage. I assure you that I have been around long enough to know that they do.Georgia team Members have been quoted as saying that they are angry for loosing the game against Alabama the way they did, and that they were going to redeem themselves against somebody somewhere in a bowl game. Make no mistake, I am just as thrilled about playing a great Nebraska team in the Capitol One Bowl as you are, and there are no guarantees of victory for either team. I happen to remember the 1969 Sun Bowl and I see nothing wrong with hoping and praying that this UGA football team can avenge that loss in like manner. You obviously lack the competitors spirit that the majority of Bulldog Nation possesses, so you go ahead on with your political correctness, but don't apologize for me for things I did not say.

Undone, please see my reply to vineyarddawg. In all of my years of posting I have never been attacked by anyone for being insensitive to an issue, so this is new to me. I Know that the University of Nebraska has a rich athletic heritage, and that there are no guarantees of victory for either team; Furthermore, there is no guarantee that Georgia is the superior team. That is why they play the game, and I am excited about the opportunity my team has to play such a tradition rich University. It was never my intention ridicule your team or piss you off. Heck, It is we who have never beaten you in football. I was just playing along with all of the guys that were counting them selves out of the contest because I know that they should know better than that, but am I wrong in hoping that my team wins the game to even the series record at 1 - 1? I think not. I apologize if I have offended any of you because my post was intended in the spirit of good natured competition. You Husker fans have no reason not to hold your heads up, and hold them up high!

Interesting.

Dawg-Fight on our forums, lol.

No worries, at least from me, about a bit of smack-talk and avenging a 40 year old loss. I'm glad to see us play UGA, for historical reasons if nothing else.

Not many here will be engaging in smack-talk though. That loss to Wisky was one of the worst in Nebraska history, and not many of us have confidence coming to play against the team that was 5 yards from a MNC appearance.

Good luck to the Dawgs, I have always respected your program. And love UGA the bulldog. What number is he? Love the UGA-Mobile, too. very cool way to roll like a baller!

[FLDawg34]

WOW GaDawg!! To say that ANY member of the DawgNation does not possess a competitor's spirit is insane without knowing that Dawg personally! I can assure you that I have never been concerned with being politically correct. I would love to see my Dawgs win by 30 or 40 points. But to simply prove we belong in a BCS bowl and not to avenge a 40 yr old loss? C'MON MAN!!! How about we just take the field and prove to the bowl selection idiots that UGA should have been in a BCS bowl rather than UF.

And I happen to also agree with a prior post. Richt will almost assuredly NOT run up the score if in fact that's the way the game goes. I for one am looking forward to seeing this game and I appreciate being here in this forum. FYI GaDawg....that was sincerity and NOT being PC.

Hello all.

I am elsewhere known as Herschel Talker or gator hater, but I see at least one cohort has trolled me hard.

The Huskers are my #1 OOC team and have been for years. Since my Dawgs couldn't beat the Gators in the 90's, seeing Nebraska do it in such glorious fashion is a fond memory.

I do business in Grand Island, Lincoln, and Omaha a couple times a year and talk football quite often with the Husker fans in my company's offices up there. Still heartbroken over our near miss with the Irish, but I'd rather be playing a solid team with rich tradition than Northern Illinois, Louisville, or some other garbage opponent in a joke of a BCS bowl. Go Dawgs!
