[NU Sports] NU bowl stuff plus signing day

[cherron604 at aol.com]

As one who has been to the last 5 bowls, I will add the following:
 
 
The Rose Bowl was a sea of purple
 
Nebraska was much our superior in 2000:
 
- 9-2 vs 8-3
- outscored their opponents 456-213 (we outscored ours 424-334)
- ended the regular season ranked 9 (1160 points)  We were ranked 18 (553 points)
- Nebraska ended the regular season at #8 in the BCS rankings

The alamo bowl debacle has been brought up and that made me think of 
our bowl futility as compared to ND.

5 straight lossses.  
Did we underachieve or were we the lesster team?  
Were they just bad matchups?  
Was it the standard Big Ten bowl, which road game for us and a home 
game for the opponent?

Here are my theories
Sun Bowl -- opponent better, good matchup, neutral field
Motor City Bowl -- NU equal, good matchup, neutral field
Alamo Bowl -- NU equal, bad matchup, away game
Citrus Bowl -- opponent better, good matchup, away game
Rose Bowl -- NU better, good matchup, away game

I think the Sun, Motor City, and the Rose were our best chances for 
wins as we had at least 2 out of three not being to our disadvantage.

For the Rose we had the best situation, however the Big Ten in general 
does a major choke job vs. USC.

Signing Day is Wednesday, February 7th.  
Anyone know why it has been changed to a 2pm event instead of evening?
Also why it is not at NU and instead at the ESPNZone in Chicago?

We go every year, but to have to take a half/full day vacation to 
watch signing day makes our attendance this year seem unlikely.
