sd'sker Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 f#*k that, Rose Bowl is Pac-10 v. Big Ten. I don't care if there are loopholes or what happened in the past, don't ruin it this year like they did last year. The Big XII has their bowls, they should stay there. Pretty sure you're going to be in the minority here i agree with bf. Quote Link to comment

No one is saying it's GOING to happen. Nor are they saying Nebraska is trying to change the Big 10 traditions to align more with our own. They are just stating that, because we have SO much history with Oklahoma, and there has been some "off" match-ups in the Rose Bowl in recent years, it would be really cool (from the Husker fan perspective), if a Husker-Sooner Rose Bowl match up was to happen. Really? To any Nebraska fan, Nebraska vs. Oklahoma is WAAAY bigger than Big Ten vs. Pac 12. I mean, everyone loves the Big Ten so far, but the one thing we all miss, and will always miss, from the Big 12/8: Oklahoma. I would hope Big 10 fans would realize this too. Nebraska vs Oklahoma is not only a Nebraska tradition...its a College Football Tradition. Now that this games is going to be played VERY RARELY, you take advantage of it whenever you can. Who cares if it disrupts the Rose Bowl and the B1G vs Pac 12 tradition. Nebraska vs Oklahoma is bigger and more important than that. The Rose Bowl could hypothetically play B1G vs Pac 12 every year for the next 100+ years. Nebraska vs Oklahoma might happen 2-3 times the next 100 years. You play NU vs OU in the Rose Bowl. nice Quote Link to comment

Don't change our tradition. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/26676228 You should just go back to your Wisconsin board if you really can't figure out why Nebraska vs Oklahoma isn't mentioned on either of those polls.

Fixed it for you. i disagree with huskerbs in these two instances. the ou-NU rivalry ended with a whimper long ago, and it is silly to expect, or even want, the B1G to change some of its greatest traditions for our preference. the ou-NU rivalry was only relevant when both teams were in the top ten, which was a lot, but hoping for ou-NU to play again would only be for the nostalgia, not to preserve or revive any perceived rivalry. wisconsin has had to unfortunate loses, but they are still the team the rudely introduced us to the B1G.

Scratchtown Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 If OU and Stanford win out, Stanford will be going to the NC game. I wonder if it could land OU in the Rose Bowl. OU played in the Rose Bowl several years ago. Man, the Rose Bowl would be salivating to have this matchup. If I am not mistaken, the Rose Bowl gets the first choice of a replacement if one of their participants is sent to the NC game. I don't think they'd choose a 2-loss Oregon over a 1-loss OU. Would love to get back at OU for last year. It doesn't matter, in this scenario that means that OU would win the big12, meaning Fiesta Bowl all the way. I wish people would just take some time to think about how the BCS works. Quote Link to comment

Ohio State has The Game with Michigan. If they stopped playing that game this year, how long would it be before EVERYONE stopped caring about it? It would take decades. I didn't even grow up a Big Ten fan and I watched Michigan/Ohio State pretty much every year. Quote Link to comment

I wish people would just take some time to think about how the BCS works. Thank you. As I've been catching up on this thread this morning, I was resisting the urge to immediately post this, hoping someone else would. And as far as badgerfan goes, the Rose Bowl has hosted an outsider in 5 of the last 10 teams. Nebraska isn't ruining any tradition. It's already been ruined. Even if we wanted OU (and they were available), we don't have the power to make it happen, nor are we asking for that power (other than an obvious just-in-fun post, capisce?). Just because we are in the Big 10, don't expect us to totally buy into the Rose Bowl being the Granddaddy Of Them All, more important than any other game including the championship, as some say (not in this thread). And for WoodyHayes, you've already been proven wrong by Texas over Cal, so get over it. It has happened before, it'll happen again, maybe not this year, but it will happen. It's all pretty premature anyway. Right now there are what, 6 or 7 teams with a pretty reasonable shot at the B1G championship? Even if we are the most likely, it's only a slight edge, so I'd put our odds at 20%, 25% at most, of going to the Rose Bowl. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt96 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Bosie St would be the likely candidate for the Rose Bowl if the Pac 12 sends a team to the NC Game. Quote Link to comment

Hammerhead Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 The rivalry is over. Let's move on. I'd actually like to see a Nebraska-Oregon matchup. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'd like to see us play Oregon in the rose bowl if we get there. Or Boise. Call me crazy, but I'd love it for NU to be the team to put Boise State's bowl success to a long-awaited end. Quote Link to comment
808Husker in KCMO Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Wouldn't OU go to the Fiesta? I'm not sure how this works. You're right. For OU to win out, they would have to beat OSU and have the head to head over them for the Big 12 title. Good catch. Quote Link to comment
