[NU Sports] 2011 Bowl Projections

[neonrye at aol.com]

Teddy Greenstein and I must have been on the same wavelength today, as he has an article (online tomorrow; in tomorrow's print edition of the Trib) speculating on the 'Cats bowl possibilities, as well as on Big Ten bowl questions in general:  http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-1115-big-ten-bowls--20111115,0,5875145.story

ow that we have bowl eligibility in our sights, I broke down and started 
esearching online projections, as I did last year (when we broke through much 
arlier).
Here's a site that is picking us for the Gildan New Mexico Bowl in Albequerque 
n Dec. 17 vs. Wyoming:  http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2011/11/14/2560547/college-bowl-projections-predictions-2011-week-12  
f course, I never even heard of this bowl before--have any of you?
ESPN splits its predictions "ballot", with one vote putting us in NYC at the New 
ra Pinstripe Bowl vs. Rutgers (which might work for me, as I will be returning 
rom vacation earlier that day), while the other places us in New Orleans at the 
+L Carriers Bowl.  In the latter we are predicted to face Arkansas State, and 
f that ever came to pass, and if we didn't get off the "schneid" and get our 
irst bowl win since 1949, then I guess we are fated to never get another one.

CBSSPORTS.com has this interesting match-up:  NU v. Cal in the Kraft Fight 
unger Bowl in San Francisco on December 31st.  That game would literally be a 
ome game for the Golden Bears, as they are playing their "home" games this 
eason at AT&T Park, since their stadium is undergoing renovations.

I don't like this one, as it has us going nowhere:  http://collegebowlprojections.com/ncaa-college-football-bowl-predictions/
Isn't this fun?  
I just hope I haven't fatally jinxed Fitz and his "young men" by posting this 
nformation, but I find these bowl projections fascinating, especially when NU 
s arguably in the mix.  And after last night's J-E-T-S trainwreck vs. the 
atriots, I need the 'Cats to cheer me up with hope and inspiration.:-)
