HANC Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Local Omaha station (KETV ABC) sports guy just said it looked like this win put NU in Sun bowl....obviously no one knows, but IMO, this is where we are going. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Gator Bowl would be sweet against either FSU or Miami. Alamo vs. Iowa maybe? Quote Link to comment
huskerswrkhavoc Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Local Omaha station (KETV ABC) sports guy just said it looked like this win put NU in Sun bowl....obviously no one knows, but IMO, this is where we are going. he doesn't know any better than any of us do, to be completely honest..... He's guessing. He's looked at what the MOST LIKELY would be.. but honestly, i see it being hard to take ND over NU but then again, they are notre dame... who knows. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 The Gator is my hope right now, but look at our selections if we beat CU the day after turkey day. Sun Bowl Alamo Bowl Gator Bowl Great games IMO and man what a first year under Pelini. Quote Link to comment

HANC Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Personally, I would love to have the Gator Bowl select NU over ND, but that f'n ND will get the nod, because they are f'n ND........ we all KNOW that... Secondly, the best possible bowl for NU would be the Alamo......San Antonio is awesome and we would compete well against a big ten team... But, realistically, and from almost ALL indications, we are going to the Sun Bowl vs PAC 10 !!!! Today's Omaha World Herald even stated that it appeared El Paso was the "likely" destination... NO, it is not confirmed, but I would have to say that...... 1. Yes, the local sports guys who run "The Big Red Zone" nightly, would know a little more than those of us on the board. 2. Yes, the local newspaper "beat-writer" who covers NU from the inside out, would know a little more than the rest of us. I really, really hope it is the Gator or Alamo, but I am making hotel reservations today in El Paso ( I can always cancel them...ha) Quote Link to comment

HANC Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 This is what most of us are counting on, but OSU will only have 3 losses and plays in the "south" which is the media darling.......deservingly so...... and MU will have beaten NU head to head and will have a better record, unless they get beat by KU.... As much as I want this to happen, we would have to get chosen over 2 teams that will rank ahead of us...by record and pecking order. I am praying for Alamo (if not Gator)......just think it is asking too much. But, wouldn't OSU or MU go to cotton, which would mean the Alamo would only have to jump us over 1 of those teams, which is a little more encouraging !!!!!!!!! Hell, I am correcting my own posts. WTF GO BIG RED, BEAT THE BUFFS Quote Link to comment

huskeraddict Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm thinking that the Alamo Bowl would take us if the Gator Bowl didn't because: 1) Husker fans love San Antonio 2) San Antonio loves Husker fans 3) We gave them, perhaps, the greatest game in their history the last time we were there Quote Link to comment
Red Storm Brewing Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am all for the Gator and a January 1st date with Miami or FSU which didn't help the cause with their beat down to BC, but am realizing that El Paso is the probable outcome. I was hoping Cal would be the matchup so we can get a chance to beat around former recruiting hot rod Nyan Boatang. That would be great after all the crap he was pulling during the recruiting process. Of course in todays recruiting world I guess it really isn't crap anymore. We will probably get Oregon and a chance to pummel them in their 124 uniform choices. I guess it would be fitting as well with all the recruiting battles we have had with them recently. Send us anywhere, the way we are playing right now would mean trouble for any possible opponents. Still give me the Gator and the ACC that would pose our biggest challenge and let us see how much we have improved. Quote Link to comment

I know Im selfish but if you have never been there for a game... Trust me it is an insane party... Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I think it has to be Gator, Alamo will go to Mizzou, unless they win Big 12 title 1. Nat champ game (Tech) 2. Fiesta (Texas) 3.Cotton(OU) 4. Alamo(Mizzou) 5.Gator (NU) 6. Insight 7.Holiday Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I didn't really care where we went at first....but now that possibilties are popping up, Gator is #1 choice obviously, although the Sun bowl is the most likely, I don't really see it as desirable...something about El Paso...
