[NU Sports] "Share The Joy"; Send An E-Mail To The Alamo Bowl President/CEO

[John Labbe]

In the Tribune today, they say that Northwestern is looking at a likely 
Sun Bowl appearance as the Alamo Bowl is not expected to select us.  
But it's not clear whether this is pure speculation or based on any 
inside information.  I can certainly see the reasons why Iowa would be 
selected over us for the Alamo Bowl, but I don't think it's entirely 
preposterous to think that Northwestern might be selected over Iowa, 
unless there were some inside information to suggest otherwise.

Has anyone seen or heard anything any more certain about the Alamo 
possibility?

This is all assuming, of course, that Ohio State would get an at-large 
BCS bid.
