Bowl Season

Vegas Bowl is definitely a toss up. UW is the more talented team when they show up but you can flip a coin on whether or not that will be the case. Could be a great game.

UCLA will not beat Baylor.

I set up a ESPN Bowl Pick'em group for BT this year:

Care to elaborate?

We match up very well against them. Its been the power offense/ strong defense teams that we have stuggled against this season. We cover a vertical passing game well and our offense should be able to put up points against a defense that has struggled to stop anyone this season.

Look at Baylor's last 5 games.....the 55th ranked defense in the country will not be able to keep them from scoring 50.....and UCLA will not match that on offense.

But hey, if you want to give me Baylor and 7.....I'm in!!  

I'm in.

My horns are in the Alamo Bowl Vs Oregon State.  I don't get how they didn't make it to the National Championship Game?????? In all fairness, I'm still scratching my head as to how exactly we are still ranked????????????

I think the BCS REALLY worked itself out to be a joke this year (not considering the nat champ game).  Those match ups are horrendous.

I think Cotton is the most exciting bowl out there (after bama/ND), then probably the Holiday Bowl.  Then the Las Vegas Bowl and the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.  Those are really my top 4 and then of course Alamo bowl just cause I'm a horn.

My Cornhuskers get to go to the Capital One bowl to play Georgia.

I honestly feel sorry for Georgia because they were seconds away from the national championship game and the Huskers are a shadow of the team they should be.  We've got some serious issues and I suspect it will be a blowout to the extreme.

I guess there's always the chance that Georgia will overlook the Huskers and we can be competitive.  OK, probably not. 

I hope the Tide get rolled.

FSU Alum here.  Playing Northern Illinois in the Orange Bowl.  If it were played on paper and talent the outcome would be 78-3.  But more realistically FSU's offense keeps NIU in it till the end 24-17 Noles win.

Curious what husker nation's temperature is on Pelini these days?  This morning I heard a commentator talking about how he's lost the team because no team puts up 70 points if the players are listening to (and doing) what the coaches say.  No idea if that's true, that's just what he said.

East Carolina Pirates, and we are playing some team from a French Southern State that will probably beat us...but as usual we will make a torid comeback only to falter with no time on the clock!

It's mixed, but personally I've been preaching Pelini needs to go for a couple years.  The team has consistently been way up there in penalties, which is very conducive to coaching.  They've been horrible with turnovers, coaching yet again.  The defensive scheme seems so bad vs. a mobile QB or a perimeter runner that it's downright embarrassing.  Play after play after play we have 8 guys crash down in the box and the DB/Safety's are the only ones left to tackle an outside runner.  That's all coaching, IMHO.

This is the first year that Pelini has 100% his own recruited players so he doesn't have any excuses.  We've got a new AD in town so I'm not sure if he'll have the moxy to look for big changes.  I guess we'll have to see how the bowl game goes.  If we lose huge on that one and get embarrassed again then the public pressure may be too much.

I've got a good friend whose son is a redshirt freshman down there this year.  I'll get the inside scoop on the players at some point, but I'm not sure yet.

My teams in the National Championship Game.  Roll Tide!!

and, What do y'all have against Birmingham?????  It's a prime location and a wonderful old stadium, in a historic part of town.

All kidding aside, if anyone ends up in Birmingham from Mississippi or Pitt, I'll steer you to some of the better places in town, as it does have it's bright spots.
