Updated bowl destination

[HANC]

Here we are on Saturday night..... 11/26

 

This is the way I see it..... and I am pretty smart

 

Feel free to agree or disagree

 

With ISU losing, this helps NU

With Texas hopefully stomping CU next week, this helps NU

 

My opinion:

 

Texas = Rose

Tech = Cotton

OU = next in line....probably Alamo or Holiday

 

Here is where it gets interesting

 

CU would be next in pecking order, but they will probably be on a 3 game losing streak, and ahve classless fans who will not travel well after 3 losses.... NU probably ahead of them....

 

I think that NU and ISU would be next (not sure where MU is).....but NU beat ISU head-head and is coming off of win !!!!

 

This would make me think that:

 

NU = Alamo or Holiday....whichever doesn't have OU

 

ISU = Houston

MU = Independence

CU = Fort Worth or Champs

 

Am I missing anyone ?

 

Just heard on CBS that the announcers seem to believe that it is a good possibility that OU would play Florida in Independence Bowl....... unsure where this came from, but may be true..... This obviously would open Holiday/Alamo even more for the 'skers.

I am an IDIOT

 

I forgot KU....

 

I see CU= Champs

KU = Fort Worth

[huskerguy]

any ideas of our possible opponents?

NU going to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego would be great.

Believe it or not, there is a large fan base in SoCal. I witnessed this first hand while stationed there and going to the Holiday Bowl where NU played Arizona.

The parking lot looked like an NU home game.

Bunches and bunches of NU fans out here. Holiday Bowl would be SWEET.

I would love the holiday bowl. ALthough that would mean we would either be playing Oregon or UCLA.

Here is how I see it going down:

 

Rose = Texas

Cotton = Texas Tech

Holiday = Oklahoma

Alamo = Nebraska

Houston = Colorado

Independence = Iowa State

Champs = Missouri

Fort Worth = Kansas

[austinhusker]

Holiday would be nice.. But i would love the Alamo Bowl all because i could go..

[Huskrz65]

All in all, that's a pretty good showing for the Big XII, DJR.

I'd agree. Eventhough the North kind of stumbled at the end, I think it is improved over last season.

let's face it: watching who would win the big xii north this year was like watching a couple of crippled kids fight over a crutch.

 

i'm just hoping nebraska doesn't have to ride the short bus to memorial stadium next year.

From Husker Extra.

 

Bo wants to play in TWO bowls. (That's how I read it.)

 

“I think Alamo is a good possibility,” Nebraska linebacker Bo Ruud said. “We had a great time down there (in 2003). San Diego, too, would be awesome. Either or both would be great.”

[HANC]

Here is how I see it going down:

 

Rose = Texas

Cotton = Texas Tech

Holiday = Oklahoma

Alamo = Nebraska

Houston = Colorado

Independence = Iowa State

Champs = Missouri

Fort Worth = Kansas

It seems like we share a fairly close opinion on bowl match ups.

 

I'm not sure if Iowa State will go to the Independence bowl though. They have been there 2 of the last 3 years and are about as excited to go back as Nebraska.

 

I know that ISU can't "select" which bowl, but I think that the Independence Bowl will realize that ISU fans probably not travel well back for the 3rd time, so I see them working a deal with the Houston sending CU to Shreveport and ISU to Houston.....

 

Once again, I heard something on tv concerning OU vs Florida in the Independence Bowl ????

[peterbilt]

my predicitons

 

rose-texas vs usc

cotton- texas tech vs alabama

holiday- oklahoma vs oregon

alamo- nebraska vs iowa

ind.- colorado vs south carolina

houston- isu vs tcu

champs- missouri vs clemson

fort worth- kansas vs tulsa

What you say about ISU makes sense, and they may go to Houston over CU. I believe ISU played in that game in 2004 and 2001, and I have no idea how they travelled. That ISU loss might have propelled NU from the Independence or Houston bowl up to the Alamo or even the Holiday Bowl. So for that we can say, thanks ISU! I heard the same thing about OU-FU and I think that dude was on crack.
