Tangerine Bowl

[DaveH]

Reports are saying that the Tangerine Bowl wants NU bad. Even after last nights loss. It was in Shatel's column in the OWH this morning. AR, I will see if I can dig up a link.

Who is the other conference matched up with the Big 12?

So we might be looking at a V. Tech team or Wake Forest

We might not make a bowl. Could be looking at the toilet bowl.

So long as NU gets six wins over D-1 opponents, they'll get a bowl. While TV coverage is a significant consideration, even more so is fan support. We tend to think of bowls as "made-for-TV" events, but the reality is the selection committees want teams that will bring fans - lot's of 'em - and boost the economy.

Just look at the bowls that don't have a conference tie-in, or have a conference tie-in for only one conference. They uniformly go with a team that has fan support over rankings.

Given NU's proven history of fans buying tickets and spending money, NU gets a bowl if it gets those six wins...

Agreed. A lot of bowls invite teams because of the money they bring in. NU has a history of bringing a lot of fans with them.

Yes I read the post but my point is they might not have to worry about us if we don't win 6 which is up in the air.
