[Husker] Conference Bowl Records (so far) (fwd)

[Mike Nolan]

> Big XII:  3-2
> Winners:  Iowa State, Texas Tech, Colorado
> Losers:  Oklahoma State, Texas A&M
> Yet to Play:  Texas (currently losing), Oklahoma

I wouldn't write off Texas quite yet, though it seems like they're a bit
more talented than Michigan they've also been their own worse enemy today.
(Kind of typical for Mack Brown, IMHO.)

I thought Tennesee-A&M was a mismatch on paper, and it lived up (or down)
to that expectation.  

I thought Okie State would be a bit more competitive against Ohio State,
though I expected them to lose.

Cal did a BCS-snub meltdown that reminded me of the KSU-Purdue game a 
few years ago.  T Tech is good, but not THAT good.

So far, the best bowl game of the whole bowl season was probably LSU-Iowa, 
though I though Nick Saban called too many gadget plays, almost like he 
was trying to find a way to lose, which ultimately they did.  

For the sake of Iowa fans, I hope they can keep Kirk Ferentz around, 
he's worked wonders there.  (A Ferentz - Bob Stoops national championship 
bowl game may happen--soon.)

Somehow I almost expect USC-OU to be a letdown, the buildup is getting
to be a bit too much.

I have to wonder if Nebraska could have beaten ANY of the bowl teams 
this year.  What a sad statement that is!
