GBRHouston Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 God. I want the Outback Bowl so bad. It'd be the only scenario where I'd be able to go to the bowl game. Quote Link to comment

HuskerNation1 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 McElwain says no to Oregon. The minute Les Miles was canned I was predicating that he would end up at Oregon as he's already spent time in the BIG and SEC. Perhaps Oregon would not be interested in him, but he's a good coach and would probably help immediately with recruiting. Quote Link to comment

HANC Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 "Big Red Today" web page has an article on whether or not the Outback Bowl will choose Iowa or Nebraska. In the article, the staff writer states that 13 of the 14 "expert" projections has Nebraska going to the Outback Bowl, although, bowl officials have indicated that Iowa ranks high on their list. Iowa has played there 3 times since 03 and Nebraska has never been in Outback. Iowa does have the "momentum" right now, (as a fan base) with the upset win over Michigan and of course the Nebraska win.....whereas Nebraska has dropped 3 of last 4 and fan base is reeling. This does factor into invitation due to projected travel. Of the 13 who have Nebraska going to Outback , 9 have a Nebraska-Florida matchup, with a few having either TaM or LSU. The other "expert" has Holiday Bowl, but that will not happen. ** My opinion, after reading a lot of articles, is that Nebraska is headed to the Outback and if Iowa gets selected, then we will drop to the Music City Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment

HANC Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 0 of the first 7 only 4 of the last 16 Great point !, but the only reason I mentioned record was due to "momentum" with the fan base heading into bowl season. Right now, Iowa would seem to have more "current" momentum. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Iowa pushing hard for the Outback bowl. They don't want to go back to SoCal fro a possible rematch with Stanford. They may have some weight to throw around after how they beat us. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Local sports channel (7 Omaha ABC), sports last night reported that it is beginning to look like the Outback Bowl is leaning towards Iowa. You are correct.... Iowa wants nothing to do with Stanford and I think the Holiday Bowl really wants them. Iowa is pushing for Outback, and for all of the reasons we have listed, Iowa has a little more "pull" than Nebraska after last week. They stated that the Music City Bowl is the "likely" destination as of yesterday, playing either Arkansas or Tennessee. I am holding out that the Outback Bowl will choose Nebraska, although the Music City Bowl will give us a better match up as far as ending on a 'high' note. ** If Iowa is pushing to NOT face Stanford, I can't wait to see their "Typically" anemic offense (other than when they play Nebraska), try to move the ball against Florida.
