Should the Huskers - at 5-7 - Accept a Bowl Invite

[brophog]

 

No. Three more practices with this staff could really set us back heading into next year. This is one case where less is more.

 

We just went head-to-head with the number 3 team in the country. Three weeks ago we beat a top ten team. What the hell do you want?

For people to more accurately evaluate a team's strength.

[ScottyIce]

Absolutely yes. f#*k you if your answer is no.

[VA Husker Fan]

No thank you. No bowl deserved.

Like I said, go take that to another thread. http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/77697-should-the-huskers-accept-a-bowl-game

[Landlord]

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.

[Husker Richard]

Everyone deserves a "trophy" in this day and age.

 

I think the Kraft Mac N Cheese Participation and Effort Bowl will probably offer us a spot

[VA Husker Fan]

Coming into this weekend, there were 18 teams not yet bowl eligible but with a chance to go 6-6 or better, with 9 spots to fill. Looks like 5 so far, including us, won't be 6-6, with Buffalo on the ropes. Only 1 of the 18 has made it (Washington), with Ga State still alive for another week.

This is the thread to track whether a 5-7 team (us) will get into a bowl.

 

Look, I know at 5-7 we don't deserve a bowl. But let's not discuss that here, nor how the whole bowl system should be overhauled. Please, keep it on track. And don't whine if I call you out for getting off track with the same old arguments.

 

And no, I'm not excited about this. But I am interested. If you're not, just skip this thread.

 

Washington wins to go 6-6, so they get a bowl. Missouri loses and drops to 5-7. San Jose St is about to lose and go 5-7. 5-6 Buffalo down by 11 late in the 3rd. Georgia St still alive at 5-6 but they probably won't be favored next week again Georgia Southern. Texas dropped to 4-7 last night.

 

Seems like more of the border teams are taking themselves out than not, so we may back into a bowl. Anyone do a count yet? I probably will later tonight.

I'm confused. I started this thread right after our loss but now it's gone. Why was it pulled?

VA Husker Fan already had this thread discussing Nebraska's bowl prospects. I merged your thread to avoid redundancy.

NO. it's a nothing to gain game if we do. Everything to lose.

 

I'd like to see this list of everything.

relevance, reputation.

 

you know, the things that matter to recruits.

I am surprised 'everything' is such a small set.

Ok, thanks. I didn't see his when I posted my original thread.

[Husker67]

Absolutely yes! If you are such a pouty baby that you don't want to watch anymore, the NBA season is in full swing.

count me in as a pouty baby, but I'll be watching the NHL

[Frustrated]

While I'm not thrilled at the prospect of being invited at 5-7, saying no reeks a bit of arrogance. So you accept with a smile on your face and try to spin it to recruits as positively as you can.

Hopefully, recruits aren't that stupid...

[VA Husker Fan]

Why the f*ck where the threads merged? One is to discuss the facts of who is going to bowls and whether we have a chance at 5-7. The other is to ask opinions on whether we should accept if we get a bid.
