[NU Sports] Bowl announcements

[Roy Lamberton]

Given the size of some of the parties (including the FEW party), I'm sure
some in San Antonio would love to have the Cats back this year, NU brings
big spenders to the bowl, especially down in Texas.

While I'd like a rematch with Nebraska, so we could run up the score on
them, I think our D is stout enough to handle almost any of the mid rank Big
12, or ACC teams. 

Maybe we should all wear solid purple the whole time at the bowl.... I know
its hard to miss those Badgrrrs and their red shirts all over town for a
week, same with dOSU.

I've actually been thinking that it's possible that we could accept a  
bid to the Champs Bowl sooner than that.  If all the rules I've pieced  
together from various sources over the past 10 days are true, then the  
Alamo can pick Wisconsin over us if we get two Big Ten teams in the  
BCS, and I'm assuming Iowa will be picked over us (either for the  
Outback if we get two teams in the BCS or the Alamo if not).  But the  
Champs can't pick Wisconsin or Minny over us in any event.

Therefore, the Champs just needs to get the Capital One, Outback, and  
Alamo to confirm that they don't want NU, and then we could lock up  
the Champs Bowl as early as this week or next.  But that's assuming  
the Outback and Alamo don't want us, and probably also assuming that  
we're not lobbying for one of those bowls.
