[Husker] Holiday Bowl

Sun Dec 5 20:48:50 CST 2010

I'm sure that played huge in the selection.  The Insight would have had 
2 Big 10 (from next yer) and no Big XII-II school (from next year).  
Conspiracy?  Maybe, maybe not, but it sure put the shaft to the Huskers 
and I think the Insight bowl.  I don't see alot of Mizzou fans traveling 
to Tucson!
