[NU Sports] Teddy G's Bowl Projections

[Eric Kunkel]

List Gang,


   Count me as one of those who'd love to see a 6-6 NU team in DC. I went to the Military Bowl two years ago when UCLA beat Temple. UCLA had many more fans there than I thought, and Temple brought 10,000 down from Philly. UCLA won when Bernard Pierce left the game (knee?) and Temple had trouble passing.


   I believe NU played in Annapolis in 2002.   Navy at NU was canceled because of 9/11.  I was there as well as my 8 year old daughter, who bawled when 2 f-14's did a fly-over before kick-off. Coach Roy was there to witness the whole thing!  One of Baz's first starts, we won 49-40 over a bad Navy team; may have been Paul Johnson's first year. After that game I knew 2002 was going to suck, just like the 2nd half of the 2001 season. They did.  I call the 2nd half of 2001 and 2002 "mini Dark Age", but 2002 toughened our young players for 2003,2004 and 2005.


   I don't expect to see NU in DC as we'll beat Team Green, but in the rare event that this may happen, go to DC Cats!


   Happy Thanksgiving List Gang!      Go CATS!!     Eric

You're right.  I remember now too since I was in fact there in  Annapolis.  
Must have been close to ten years ago.

Unmentioned is the Dec 28 Military Bowl at RFK Stadium in Washington.   
 
 Story in the WASH POST today indicated they are desperately now looking  
at 
 
 bowl-eligible teams from a number of conferences because both Army  and 
Navy 
 
 this year are not eligible.  Of course, if NU beats MSU,  then our options 
 
 open up significantly, but at 6-6 the Cats would have an  attractive, 
 
 high-profile opportunity playing in the Nation's Capital, which  has a 
large NU 
 
 alumni base. Obviously, that is my preference as a  D.C. area resident, 
but I 
 
 believe there would many upsides to coming  here, including the prospect 
of 
 
 pulling in alums from throughout the  mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. 
I 
 
 don't recall the Cats ever playing  any closer to Washington DC than Duke 
in 
 
 Durham, NC, although someone with  more institutional memory can correct 
me.
