The Gator Bowl official said the same thing. Besides NU's huge fanbase, they'd rather take a Husker team coming in from a three-game winning streak than a Missouri team that probably just got beat in the Big 12 title game.
YEAH why take a team with 2 more wins, 1 less loss and beat the huskers by 35 on their home field. That team would suck... Besides, they didnt beat the 3 worse teams in the north in 3 straight weeks. GOSH
The reason behind picking the Husker over Missouri is not the fact that NU has beat only mediocre teams..but the fact that if we are going to a bowl....every freakin person in the state is either going to the game or going to watch it (not to mention the millions of fans around the country that bleed husker red)....
Compared to the group of missouri fans that just came out of the word work within the last two-three years....
Geez that math just doesn't add up?!?!?!
Geez i know. if only half the people in the entire state of MU watched, that would only be 2 1/2 time the entire state population of Nebraska. Silly me.
And that doesnt even include all the other MU fans in the world... Math is soooooo hard
Well I guess you win the numbers game today......
Well, 49 out of all the 50 states have a at least one season Ticket holder for Nebraska i dont think MU can say that. (Rhode Island being the odd one out)
