IlliniHusker Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I personally think we should go for the extra practice session..... which concentrate on the players who will replace those graduating. Besides improving on skills the practice & bowl experience should BOND players for next season. One idea that no one has mentioned so far -- the players themselves who have worked hard all year.... don't they want a trip and another chance to play? If they don't ... they shouldn't be playing for Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
Knothole Seats @ 50 Cents Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Sure, we can go to the Pinstripe Bowl in New York and lose to a 6 - 6 Duke or a 5 - 7 Virgina Tech. All things being equal I would rather watch a replay of the 1962 Gotham Bowl. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Logical thinking - NO My thinking - YES, even BurCam Easy Flush Bowl What's the chance to invite bowl ?? Less than 50% chance ?? Quote Link to comment
Warrior Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yes for the Seniors that have worked for the past 4-5 years! They deserve to go out with a W, and a chance to show out 1 more time for possible Professional Opportunities. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think we match up pretty well with Omaha School for the Blind in the Can't see or Hear Bowl. How rude. I really hope they don't see this... 3 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yes, practice if anything. Give the fans something to do if in a warmer climate. Reward the fans for putting up wt a half baked year. No bonus or extra salary for coaches. They didn't earn it. Rotate in players who didn't play much this year who may be expected to have stronger roles next year. Get some OL rotation going for crying out loud. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Get some OL rotation going for crying out loud. NOPE! Line coach Cavanaugh says pros don't do it! "That's not how we did it in our NFL glory years with the Chargers!" Quote Link to comment
cornographic Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 A bowl game, especially following a lackluster season, is good for more practice and hopefully improvement. The players work their butts off all year round, this also serves as a nice vacation, hopefully to a warmer climate. IOW, I don't have a problem with us going to a bowl, I don't see any shame in it. BTW, what is our status so far re: a bowl? Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yes. Are you kidding? The extra practices are extremely valuable, and these players deserve any opportunities they are offered for their work and effort, regardless of results. ^^This! +1 And any bowl that would be vying for the Huskers would love to have us. Even in a crappy down year like this I'll guarantee that you'd see more Sea of Red fans in the seats than the other schools that typically go to these sort of bowls. That, and I'd like to see us notch another bowl win. The way we've been playing these last three games I think we could handle any other .500 team in the nation. GBR! Quote Link to comment

Honestly, the turnovers were the biggest factor in that Iowa game. If they'd taken better care of the ball Nebraska may have won. I would give Nebraska solid shot against most teams in the country that are hovering around that 8 to 9 win mark, not just the .500 teams. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 So ..... "we know others are going to be picked ahead of us so we'll decline??? Quote Link to comment
secretasianman Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 5-7 bowl teams. Really . I'm surprised that some are saying "these seniors worked so hard and deserve one more game." Uh, they had 12 other games to work hard and not lose . Kansas worked hard this year too -do they deserve a bowl ? So, it would appear that the participation trophy generation is now old enough to use the Internet. Quote Link to comment
