Willyumyum Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 If my Tigers and Nebraska both win Saturday I would choose a Tangerine Bowl date rematch of the 1JAN82 Orange Bowl game. Part of my choice is based on not wanting another Blue Turf Bowl in Boise ... if I have a choice. Is it not very possible that a 6-5 Husker team could go to the Tangerine Bowl? Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 It's very possible that a 6-5 Husker team go to the Tangerine Bowl. The Tangerine Bowl folks contacted NU about a possible bowl berth a couple months ago. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 If we got to the tangerine don't we play the 3rd place team in acc? Looks like more a Virginia or Miami match up correct? Quote Link to comment
Willyumyum Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Few people can completely explain the ACC bowl selection system but basically it goes like this ... 1st the BCS gets it's team ... 2nd is the Gator Bowl ... 3rd is the Peach Bowl ... 4th is the Tangerine Bowl ... 5th is the Charlotte Bowl ... 6th is the Boise Bowl. BUT ... Bowls #2 thru #6 can choose any bowl eligible team they wish ... not necessarily the next in line. So ... with that in mind ... my projection (this week) is: BCS - Miami (6-2) winning out means having beaten FSU, UVa and VPI Gator - Florida State (6-2) will be 9-2 with a win vs Florida Peach - Virginia (6-2) after winning @ GaTech & @ VPI Tangerine - Clemson (4-4) but must beat So. Car. to be bowl eligible Charlotte - North Carolina (5-3) after closing with a win over Duke Boise - Va. Tech (5-3) after losing the last two games to UVa and Miami Las Vegas - Georgia Tech (4-4) after losing to UVa A 7th ACC will probably go to the Las Vegas Bowl since the PAC Ten will have two BCS teams and will then be unable to fill it's other obligations. Next week this will probably look very different. Quote Link to comment

Part of my choice is based on not wanting another Blue Turf Bowl in Boise ... if I have a choice. Is it not very possible that a 6-5 Husker team could go to the Tangerine Bowl? It won't be Clemson (or South Carolina) Although Clemson is bowl eligable, the University president has cancelled any plans of a bowl trip because of the fight that occurred. He called it "a disgrace." Quote Link to comment
Willyumyum Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 It was indeed a disgrace. Our President's action has salvaged a modicum of honor and I am grateful for that. It'sonly 284 days until kickoff!! Now ... I have lots of time to keep up with other schools ... you guys beat Colorado. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Very suprised they did that. It was a fight, punish some of the kids if you feel you must but boy you hurt your team by cutting down on practice time as well as getting recruits in when you don't make a bowl. Quote Link to comment

Get across that this will absolutely in no way shape or form be tolerated ever again. Taking a bowl game away accomplishes that IMO. Quote Link to comment
