[Husker] RE: Which Bowl?

[Dana Williams]

According to the good folks at the Journal-Star, the Huskers will likely be 
heading to San Antonio to face Michigan or Iowa. There is an outside shot at 
the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. If the Fiesta Bowl choses to invite Oregon, 
at 10-1, over the Domers, at 9-2, NU would be matched against UCLA. 
Otherwise it will be the Sooners and Ducks playing at The "Q." I would hope 
the Fiesta Bowl people would take Oregon with their better record. But I am 
sure the aura of Irish will be the deciding factor. Riverwalk anyone?
