If Nebraska goes 7-5, they go on a 4 game winning streak and beat #6 MSU and #10 Iowa. If that happens, they definitely earned a bowl appearance. Same if they go 6-6. 5-7 will wins against Purdue and Rutgers... ...pass.
If they go 6-6 with a win over MSU or Iowa I have no issue with them getting a bowl game. I don't like it, I think it waters fown the whole bowl experience because technically 6-6 isn't a winning season. Technically not a losing season either but you get the point.
The money hungry ESPN machine has made up so many pointless bowl games an underacvhieving 5-7 team gets to participatr. We do not deserve a bowl for that.
i would like to see you walk up to our seniors or tommy or westerkamp or any of the other players who lay it on the line every goddamn day for this team, this school, and these fans that they do not deserve a bowl game.
Oh get off your high horse, your crap is getting so old.
People get on here and blast the players syaing they have no talent, that they are brainwashed, that they have no heart, they have no NFL future etc etc etc. And I think thats crap. They chose to play for Nebraska so I will defend them for their entire career. Where are you then? Apparsntely waiting for me to say something you can twist around and complain about.
My simple personal opinion is the bowl system has been watered down and 5-7 teams shouldn't go bowling. If that means Nebraska misses a bowl, that sucks for our players and I won't like it but it is what it is.
whatever, if the bowl system says they deserve a bowl, then they deserve a bowl. and if you don't like them missing a bowl, you should be rooting for them to get to a bowl.
Does a 5-7 Nebraska deserve a bowl more than say an 8-4 East Carolina? Probably not. But because Nebraska is a better draw, they will get the invite.
You really think the bowl execs care about the players?
As I said, try not to hurt yourself getting off the horse.
please stop addressing me, rather than my post.
just because the players are bad, their attitudes are bad, none of them are going to the nfl does not mean they should not get to enjoy the bowl experience if invited. it is what is best for the program and the team, so i will root for it.
