Nebraska bowls

[Caven]

A good point was made by Jon Miller over on HawkeyeNation:

"Nebraska seems to be a pretty solid stylistic and cultural fit for this league, too. It will be fun playing them each year in football, but give this a thought; the league is welcoming in a team that has one of the ten best bowl traveling reputations in all of college football. So does Iowa, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State. But this means that Nebraska is a new face that will be seen as very attractive by the Capital One and Outback Bowls, because they haven’t been there and they travel well. For the next five or so years, the Huskers are going to ‘win’ many of these bowl coin flips."

Iowa has benefited from that many times so I suppose we can't complain if it bites us a few times. Of course that will only apply in years that Nebraska doesn't win the division (yeah yeah - many here will say that NE will always win the division...)

I would expect our first bowl game as representative of the Big 10 (or whatever the conference is called) will see a huge turnout of Huskers fans eager to watch.

Most, if not all of the Big 10 Bowls have got to be loving this, Nebraska travels like no other. And I am not foolish enouph to think we will win every year. I do think we will be in the thick of it every year though. Of course this assumes the Bowls don't get eventually shot to heck because of this and we move to a playoff down the road.
