HANC Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Serious question...... No right or wrong answers.....just want to see how people on the Board feel about the one remaining game. Would you rather see Nebraska play in the BWW bowl vs a KSU.... a team that generates a lot of old-hatred emotion and Bill Snyder....a team that Nebraska CAN beat (but will have to play well)......BUT will not garner a lot of attention outside of the 2 state region - Benefits = great chance to end on a positive note and spring board into the off-season. - Cons = not real exciting....and a loss would be devastating or Would you rather play an SEC team in any of the bowl tie-ins with SEC ties....such as Outback or Gator.... (Personally think Outback and Cap 1 bowl are 0% chance, but someone posted that a site still had us vs LSU)...... in Gator it would be Georgia or South Carolina Teams that we have just played and lost to......bigger opponent, obviously if Outback, it would be Jan 1..... BUT, a game in which we would definitely be the underdog....(whether you want to face reality or not) Benefit = National exposure, a win would be a HUGE springboard and help national perception Cons = Another game with national exposure that we could (probably) lay an egg, taking the negative perception even farther down. I am on the fence...... I see a lot of people saying..."Bring on OU, LSU, 'SEC' "....... after watching this team this year, face the facts....Nebraska couldn't beat Iowa at home, Minnesota...needed a fluke hail mary pass to beat Northwestern......do you really, honestly think we could beat any of the 3 teams or South Carolina ? It would bring more attraction, but be careful what you wish for.... I see both sides. Leaning to taking our chances to re-new a "one-sided" so-called rival against a team that outside of Texas and CU, most people HATE.....with KSU. I would think I would trade a better chance for a win for the team, compared to more hype for us as fans.... But, that's my opinion. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If we don't turn the ball over, I believe we could beat any of those teams. If we turn the ball over 5 times, it won't matter if it is KSU or UGA. That being said, I went to the Gator Bowl v. Clemson, I haven't been to Tempe and live around a bunch of awful Cat fans. BWW v. KSU is my vote. Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 A wild card is how many players get healthy before the bowl. Is TA 100% for the bowl? How many OL come back for the bowl? Is Turner available for the bowl? Is Bell 100% for the bowl? We could surprise people in the bowl game. QMany is correct, don't turn the ball over, and we can beat anyone, but a positive turn-over margin, now that would be a surprise. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I want Texas .............in ANY bowl......... 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Opponent in order of preference; Texass Oklahoma Anybody else KSU I cannot imagine a less climactic game than one against the kitties. Quote Link to comment
hskerprid Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I moved from Mancrappin to Mesa so the bowl game is right down the street. So ya I'm jacked for this game. Quote Link to comment
1 nu rugby Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 TEMPE vs anyone but Kansas State, I think vs Oklahoma or Texas would be best Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I was kind of hoping for Texas but I couldn't stand losing to them again. Quote Link to comment
Something Clever Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I want Texas .............in ANY bowl......... This. Beating Texas in a Bowl game would almost make this injury plagued, forgettable season worthwhile Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 We could and would beat OU, imo. But to answer your question, I'll take BWW vs. KSU. Here's why.... 1: Win could springboard us into a nice offseason 2. We could lay recruiting in-roads in Arizona.....lots of talent down there. We have already laid them in Florida last couple years. 3. Unless we are healthy we won't compete with UGA or USC most likely.....healthy we could. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I really don't care who we play honestly. I just hope it's some scrub we can beat up in so we can all feel good about ourselves. Maybe a top rated Sun Belt team. A WAC or MAC Champion or something like that. I don't want to play Texas, as a bowl loss to Texas would only increase the pain. Let's just get another "feel good" or "moral" victory. Quote Link to comment

No. KSU would be a good matchup. They have plenty if mediocre talent so that might offset the coaching matchup advantage they have. Georgia lost their starting QB I believe, so that could help us in a matchup with them, still not sure we could win that one though. USC I feel like we could compete with. Lots of distractions and a coaching change makes them almost as equally fragile minded as we are. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I am in for the Tempe bowl, not traveling any farther than that. Not terribly excited about KState, but do not see us beating anyone else mentioned at this time. If the kids heal then maybe. This program does not need another curb stomping for any reason.

skersfan Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I think he meant South Carolina. Quote Link to comment
