PrintIt is Gameday - 2010 Holiday Bow Gameday to be exact. You need something to keep yourself busy (unless you're like me, and you're still working) today, so you KNOW you're going to be watching the early bowl games.
So why not join other Husker fans here at CN, share some Husker stories, comment on how bad the weather is in the Bronx, and tell us what you're planning for New Years. Oh, yeah, and then there's football.
Pinstripe Bowl
Kansas State vs Syracuse
Kansas State Preview - Kind of a Syracuse Preview
Who to root for? I'm not so angry with the Big 12 that I won't be rooting for Kansas State. Again, they're kind of stuck in that conference with Texas, so try not to hate them too much.
Music City Bowl
North Carolina vs Tennessee
Kind of a North Carolina Preview because football is just some annoying sport that goes too long and cuts into basketball season. - Tennessee Preview
Who to root for? Well, screw North Carolina. They have basketball. Tennessee - they're mostly harmless, aren't they?

took 28 seconds
for KSU to score their first TD – Daniel Thomas, of course, on a 50+yard run…. pretty easy, actually.

Wow!
Tough, tough run by Syracuse…and the a flea-flicker for a TD!
Somehow,
playing on a frozen field in NYC, surrounded by piles of snow, isn’t my idea of a great bowl game.
just saw that....
bouncing back and forth online at work…..

You said
you’ll be rooting for K-State. Weren’t their fans some of the worst during our farewell tour? I’m going with Syracuse.
yeah
and I know the K-State people are pretty pissed off that we’re leaving the Big 12.
but…. I don’t know. Maybe it’s intrigue in seeing how far Bill Snyder can take them the second time around.
Maybe I should root for teams by quarter. KSU got the first quarter, Syracuse gets the second, and so on. :)

Instead of watching this game,
I should be doing some house cleaning, which I’ve been avoiding for weeks. If the dust doesn’t bury our cat, the cobwebs are gonna hang her!
But, WTH, only a few college games left this season!
yeah
my family reminded me of how much of a depression I go into in February…. said they were leaving that month on vacation.

Dad: Son, if you promise to clean your room, I’ll give you $50
Son: Sure thing, Pops
Dad: Here’s your money.
Son: See ya, sucker!

I've never heard of
this “Saracuse” these two dipshits keep talking about during this game.
I'm your huckleberry.
I'm just glad it's still the Holiday Bowl...
those two games the other day pissed me off. “Maaco Bowl Las Vegas” and “Beef O’Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg”? How’s about no.
I'm your huckleberry.
Shame on you.
It’s the “Beef ‘O’ Brady” Bowl. You neglected the extraneous apostrophe before the O.

Thomas pass
to Coffman…totally uncovered…down to the fifteen.
SU stops
K-State on third down..KSU going for it…and call time-out.
And a short throw to Harper
for first and goal. Now second and goal from the one
Extra point good.
KSU leads 28-27. 11:03 in the Fourth.
Pass
complete to Sales on third and 10 for SU., then a five yard run.
okay
hell…. i’m probably going to miss the end of this.
need to get out of here, go buy alcohol, celebrate the oldest child turning 18, and create a game thread. Oh, hell, I forgot to do that….

Kansas State just came up, guys didn’t tackle…..

Holy crap,,,,
had to shovel a foot of snow off the deck to get into the house!!!
Matthew 11:28-30
Smoke em' if you got em'!!!

My sympathy...
thankfully the weather gurus were wrong again here. We got under an inch (so Far) and a little ice this a.m.
We've got a possible 8 inches of snow,,
on the way and 40-50 mph winds and below 0 temps!!!

8 in addition
to what you’ve gotten already?
We haven't got that much right now,,,
it just drifts up on the deck. We’ve had as much as 4ft. on the deck before!!

I don't have a problem with that penalty...
…as long as that becomes the standard, and every head coach shows that to everybody next offseason to show what showboating does.
Tough break for Kansas State in that situation, but it was the right call.
I almost got back into football
that call just reminded me why I cant stand to watch football anymore.
That was gearing up to be game of day….of the Bowls and that call blew.
They could have let it go. We would have never known.
But for MY sake…..you all watch every game and every play and please tell me How many times they could make that call. Drawing attention to themselves. My guess 5-8 times a game and that is the first one I have seen in a couple years. Yes Nebraska always prides itself in being Stoic and acting like they have been there before……but if you watch other teams…..they celebrate and do all kinds of stuff.
Does anyone wonder why there are so many rules in football? Drama = Money….but it also = Gambling money.
You know...
…we won’t hear ANYTHING from Mizzou and Kansas State fans criticizing Husker fans who point out issues with officiating. (i.e. “Nebraska is losing its collective mind”)
The call against K-state was crap ...
and so was the roughing the passer call against NU at ATM. Even so, you guys have lost your collective mind!
Awful pick'em year.
I’m 4 of 14 in pickems this year. This is by far my worst year. I have Nebraska winning tonight, but I’m wondering if I shouldn’t change this up since I can’t seem to pick anything right.
Bill Snyder
I for one am not going to miss having to play against Bill Snyder coached teams every year. He is one of the best coaches ever and the fact that the Huskers do not have to face him again is a benefit to moving to the Big 10.

Women's BB:
Huskers lead USF 39-20 at the half.
Anyone
hear how the weather conditions are in San Diego?
okay
Champange in the fridge, margaritta mix in the freezor, hors d’overs ready to be warmed up tomorrow. Let the game begin…..crap it’s only 6:30, it’s going to be a LONG night
Got the Husband
and the cat fed and settled in for the night. Would like a beer, but can’t start this soon.
And I have to stop
looking at the clock. Time is dragging, big time.
Oh it's BowlGameDay already?
YAY!
That KSU/Syracuse game was a great game, except for Synder getting greedy with the fake FG with a 4th & 5.
My first time ever using a grill tonight!
Got a Weber Q 220 for Christmas, cooking burgers and huskerdogs for my first attempt. Wish me luck!
okay
so…. I see the ESPN ticker still has a “Favre” category. I hope that SOB is gone in a week.

All the in laws are 3rd generation huskers
and so I am up to speed on where you guys are:
1)Pissed that Henery didn’t make big 12 honors…..
2) Excited that Peterson may be fired at Pitt
3)Wondering why Pryors first game back at OSU is against you
4)Trying to see if you will get a new offensive coordinator
Close on any?
