np_husker Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 would you be going to the game? Had we won one more game and became bowl eligible, I just wondered how many of Husker Nation would have followed the team. I have never been to a bowl game and didn't necessarily plan to go this year, but would have considered it. Obviously a BCS bowl is always the goal, but the Alamo or Holiday bowls would be fun as far as a destination. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I've never been to a Nebraska bowl game. I'd like to go to Phoenix, San Diego or Tampa if the opportunity comes up. Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Doesn't matter...the only bowling the Huskers will be doing this year is at Leisure Lanes... Quote Link to comment
Bleeding Husker Red Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Unfortunately , bowl trips are usually a bitout of my price range... Quote Link to comment

I actually went to Iowa State's first bowl victory against Pitt. But that was another life. I'm all better now. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 you know, after hearing some of the recent player comments, i am kind of relieved we didn't go to a bowl game, sad comment, but just how i feel now. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'd love to go to a bowl game, but the $$$ prevents that Quote Link to comment

VA Husker Fan Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I've only been to two bowl games because I usually travel to see family over the holidays. But if you get a chance to go, it can be a lot of fun. They are usually in a nice place, so there'll be things to do, plus you are making a road trip without going into enemy territory. So most likely you don't have to worry about your tires getting slashed at the hotel or game, getting snubbed in a restaurant, getting outnumbered in the stands, etc. Most fans from both sides are there to have fun and not cause trouble. I think it's better than going to a road game at the other team's home. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I would definitely consider it. Money would be a big issue, but I forked up money for the Big XII game last year, so who knows.. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 If you haven't had a chance to go to a bowl game, it is a MUST...... everyone seems to talk about $$$, and yes, it does cost a little, but hey..... I do not have a lot of extra dough.... I am a high school teacher and have a family, so I am not "wealthy" by any means.. If you only want to take the "packages", then the trips are fairly expensive.... My wife and I took a "package" to the Fiesta Bowl 7 years ago.....fun yes, expensive...yes.. If you plan by yourself, go with a group of buddies (right KChusker)......the trips aren't that expensive.... We have been to Orange, Alamo, Fiesta, Cotton, "Kick-off Classic" vs West Virginia, and my buddy KChusker has been to Rose also....... I rarely spend more than $700 total..... Plus, if you don't take a package deal, you have the freedom to travel around the city and do your own thing.... I begin saving $$ immediately after the bowl game for next season's bowl game...if plan a year ahead, it really isn't too difficult to go..... KC and I were headed out this season for sure, but I guess my kids and wife get a little better Christmas presents this year Quote Link to comment

Obviously a BCS bowl is always the goal, but the Alamo or Holiday bowls would be fun as far as a destination. The only BCS game that counts is the NC game all the rest are just the same as the Bluebonnet Bowl, if its not steak its spam. >>>T_O_B Quote Link to comment
johnny_husker Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I went to the Cotton Bowl last year and it was awesome. Would go for sure if we did. Quote Link to comment

KC and I were headed out this season for sure, but I guess my kids and wife get a little better Christmas presents this year I agree. Plan your own trip with others that you know. That makes it the "time of your life" until the next bowl. I also tend to spend my money at the bars. Most of my favorite memories are from the the bowl games (and non-confrence road games). If you haven't gone, plan on going next year, Big Red typically takes over the city. Quote Link to comment
