Gator Bowl

On the official Gator Bowl website......Gatorbowl.com......it plainly states that the selection comittee meets at 5 pm eastern time tonight to discuss the possibilities of the 3 conferences involved. It also says that that the comitte is expected to select 1 team today.

Along with the other source on the board, and the fact that a travel agent that works for my wife's company contacted her this morning offering a package to the bowl, I would say the NU is Gator Bowl bound.

Man, I just be pres. of "rumorville"..... I really think that we will know by the 6:00 pm central time news. Maybe I am just trying to make myself feel better about buying a flight, but I honestly think we are in Jacksonville.

What is Pelini's salt-water aquarium guy saying?

Wasn't that his wife's friend that attends the same church Pelini goes to, whose daughter babysits for the neighbors, that dates the best friend of a certain Husker basketball player, whose mother's best friend works on the custodial staff at the NU athletic department?

Am i the only one thinking that this is a little premature? I know they said they were hoping to choose a team today, but theoretically there is still a chance of a big time shakeup of things if Mizzou wins. The chances aren't that great but still... Dunno just my 2 cents.

Maybe the team they pick today is an ACC one?

At least I'm not the only one thinking that people are jumping the gun with this.

Well if they do jump the gun and invite us, and for some reason Missery beats OU, we would get a better bowl this way than we may have the other way correct. It's a great bowl regardless and no matter how we get the invite doesn't matter to me.

If Mizzou wins:

Texas and Mizzou to BCS

OU to Cotton

Tech/OSU to Holiday

Tech/OSU/NU to Gator/Sun

Tech/OSU/NU to Alamo

KU to Insight

So we would fall to the Alamo at worst which still isn't THAT bad of a bowl.

 
They just announced on 1620 the zone that the Gator Bowl pres. will be calling in before the end of the hour (6).........and that the Gator bowl has told the Jacksonville paper that the bowl will NOT extend an "official" invitation to Nebraska today, but it is almost a "certainty" that NU will play in Gator. Will know more if he calls into the station. But no invite today.

the announcer's have been talking all day about the Gator is a "sure" thing and go ahead and book flights. But, I absolutely agree, probably no invite until later in the week. And yes, MU can upset OU.........look at how many times the North has "upset" the "sure thing" from the south. CU beat OU a few times, when no one felt they belonged in the game, and on the other hand, A-M uspet KSU when no one thought it should be a game.
