Nope. TCU heading to Arizona to face Michigan State in the Buffalo Wild Wings bowl.

Yup, just comfirmed. Both Texas schools in consideration. Baylor has actually played this one before.
 

Baylor is going to the Holiday Bowl. Sounds like we get a chance to exorcise some demons against Texas Tech.
 

Why would you want to play Iowa State in our first bowl game in years? Sure its an easier game, but I know I would much rather see a good team in this game. Win/loss isn't as important to me as having an interesting game to watch.

I'm not saying ISU isn't good. They've had some impressive upsets the last couple seasons. But we played them in our last bowl game. I've love any of TCU, WVU, Baylor, or TT. Might not be the most favorable matchup but still fun.

Ask Cornhusker fans how much "fun" they had last night.
 

Baylor's to the Holiday Bowl. Tech? Oklahoma St? (NONONO)

What does Neb playing like sh!t have to do with our match up?? Neb getting stomped should make us quiver to play a decent team?! Should we have declined or called up Detroit and see if we can slide down to play a MAC school? Wait, a MAC school might be in the BCS....

Not trying to be rude, but grow a pair.
 

Wow anyone else just get 11 messages from the Gopher Ticket office announcing the bowl game? Nice system glitch there.
 





I would love to see Glen Mason and Mike Leach be the broadcast team for this game.

Haven't seen them in action this year but looking at Big 12 stats they are #1 in the conference in passing and #10 in rushing which is certainly a formula that plays well with our defense this season.

Not only were they #1 in the Big 12 in passing. They were #2 in the country. This is a big time passing attack. Should be interesting to see how our pass defense fairs.

I would rather see the Gophers take on a prolific passing attack, than a power running-play action attack.
 

I didn't follow the Big 12, but them being a passing team should be a better match up than a power running team. We seemed to play better vs spread/passing teams.

Just checked and saw 18 e-mails; at least they were ready.

If your post was supposed to be humorous, I apologize. I didn't catch it (tough over the interwebs)

It was, but not laugh out loud. Nebraska didn't have any fun not just 'cuz they got thrashed, but they were also heavy favorites. Just like the teams you mentioned.

That just means we get to pull a wisconsin (I just puked a little) and do our own thrashing over a favorite!

I'm assuming TT will be the favorite???
 


I got 16 emails from Gophersports about the bowl... does that mean they really, really, really,... want people to go...
