BC still makes me sick by not addressing TO by name.. higher ups just seems so disrespectful to me.. can't stand it..

 

and

 

"I'd go to even Boise." .. i'd even go to boise? maybe? idk.......

So if we win . . . which bowl do we get invited to? I wouldn't be too surprised to see us get an Alamo Bowl invite . . . especially if KU is in the national championship game. But with UT, OU, Mizzou, and Kansas all playing New Year's Day or BCS bowls, that drops Texas Tech into the Holiday Bowl and leaves CU/NU, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and possibly (but not likely) Kansas State fighting for bids to the Alamo, Insight, Independence, and Texas Bowls. Considering our past relationship with the Alamo Bowl, I think they'd take a risk and invite us over A&M or Oklahoma State. Especially considering they took a 6-6 Iowa team last season.

 

And, oh yeah, beat the Buffs.

Good deal.

 

Now let's make it happen because I'm not ready for the off season... no matter how bad this year has been.

So say KU goes to the NC...

 

NC Game = KU

Fiesta = OU

Cotton = Texas/Mizzou

Holiday = Texas/Mizzou

 

 

how is tech going to get the holiday? am i missing something? remember.. a conference can only get 2 bcs bowl bids.. no matter if they are 2-5 in the standings...

[trouble]

KU wont be going to the NC, Mizzou will run circles around them

Could be "even Boise"..It looks pretty bumpy and would take a lot of tilling.

Insight Bowl

17.1 miles away from my driveway.

[Huskerhead1976]

They dont have any other choice but to accept a bowl game if they are invited.

[coyeote]

They said on the radio last night that they are bound by Big 12 rules to go if invited because it means money for the conference. Not sure how accurate the statement is but they made it sound as though NU wouldn't have a choice in the matter if invited.

[DaveH]

Of course they would. I think it's dumb to turn down a bowl bid from the monetary position ALONE.

[Cy the Cyclone]

We'll end up in the Insight Bowl playing against Iowa...another team that doesn't deserve to go to a bowl. Of course the Huskers will crush the Hawkeyes because Iowa has a totally pathetic offense and an undersized and undermanned defense...plus I despise their fans.

 

So...the Huskers will prevail in the "Filler Bowl"...the bowl game that fills the broadcast time between real bowl games between good football teams.

IIRC, according to his contract, Callahan gets a bonus if we go to a bowl game, I wonder if he gets it if he is fired before the bowl game.

I would think so. If we are going to fire a coach it has to be before the bowl game. We can't leave recruits hanging till almost signing day.

The Big 12 does NOT have a contract with the humanitarian bowl in Boise anymore. NU will not be playing there.
