T_O_Bull Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The Big 12 has reached an agreement to supply one of the teams for the Pinstripe Bowl to be played on December 30 in Yankee Stadium. I'm sorry but spending late December in New York City and watching a football game played on a base ball field doesn't thrill me. All I can say to this bowl opportunity is I pray the Huskers never play so poorly that I have to make the choice between Florida/Arizona or New york. T_O_B Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Don't worry, so long as Mizzery wins 6 games they'll get this garbage bowl slot. They can't get fans to bowl games, so they'll be a shoe-in for this excuse of a bowl game. Let the Missouri-Rutgers rivalry begin! Quote Link to comment

skersfan Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 A few short years ago a trip to that bowl would have been greatly appreciated. Let us not for get where we have come from. Things change quickly in both directions. Be thankful we are in an uptrend. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I kond of thing that this bowl is sweet. I don't think I would ever go to New York to go see a football game but I would definitely watch it on T.V. I like the prestige of it. Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Yeah, right, nothing like going to the Bronx, watching a football game, getting mugged, getting lost on the subway, getting rolled in your hotel room by a hooker at 3 am (when you finally found where your hotel was)...that you didn't know was really a transvestite until it was too late....and that is if you are alive the next morning to remember it and not floating in the Hudson River with all the garbage. Then just getting to and from the airport would be a joke - and don't even think about taking your car, because there is nowhere to park, and if you take it to the Bronx it will be stripped in 5 minutes down to the twinkie wrapper in the trunk that has been there since last summer. I'll pass on that trip. Thanks but no thanks.... Quote Link to comment

WCHusker Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 How many of you have been to NYC? Granted, it would be a real crap bowl game to get stuck with, but Manhattan can be a hell of a lot of fun, not to mention that it's New Year's weekend! It's obviously a huge culture shock for most Nebraskans, but give it a try. I was there on business and stayed over the weekend-it has the largest variety of neighborhoods, restaurants, bars, theaters(etc etc etc) that you'll ever find anywhere. The variety of food is absolutely amazing. I spent an entire weekend doing a walking tour of everywhere I could between south Central Park and Battery Park(with a subway cheat or two thrown into the mix). I had an absolute blast, and thought that the people were great. Stay away from the tourist trap area(Times Square), and you'll have a great time in mid/lower Manhattan. 1 Quote Link to comment
UGAHusker Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 http://www.city-data.com/city/New-York-New-York.html http://www.city-data.com/city/Lincoln-Nebraska.html http://www.city-data.com/city/Omaha-Nebraska.html Looks like those crimes would actually be more likely in Lincoln and especially Omaha than in New York. I hate NY as much as the next Southerner, but get the facts straight. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 So, is the getting rolled by a hooker at 3am which turns out to be a transvestite coming from experience? Quote Link to comment

I didn't realize Eddie Murphy frequented this board. LOL oh man, this was the discussion in class and at work. I think it's bc the Music City bowl is going under due to altercations of the guy who ran that being a jackass. But i think the idea is cool, there used to be football games played in the old Yankee stadium if any of you recall. The bad thing is, is the weather, especially with all the snow NYC got this winter, i'm sure it'll be the same/worse in the next few years. Idk if it'd be worth all the money spent tho =| Quote Link to comment
