I will be the first to say. I have been as hard on these coaches as anyone. But this fan base although a small portion especially in this forum is down right toxic. Lots of people need to look in the mirror before they spew the BS they do. Reading these threads you would have thought we lost by 4 td.

There are many areas to improve on. But we have a winning season and a bowl win. The first since 2016. They finally won a game they have typically lost for the past 8 years. In my opinion we saw a lot of young players who didn’t bail to the portal and made plays.

I am for one happy Rhule has made changes on the staff where we have struggled. Seeing that I am hopeful he will do the same for Special teams. GBR and march on to 2025. Thank you coaches and players to give me an opportunity to cheer on the team in December.

Football OFFICIAL: Nebraska to the Pinstripe Bowl, will face Boston College

Updated (Sunday, Dec. 8)

There it is. Official news: Nebraska vs. Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 28. But y'all knew that already 🤝



=================================

Updated (Friday, Dec. 6)

Nebraska is slated to play in the Pinstripe Bowl, sources told Inside Nebraska. Opponent is likely to be either Pittsburgh or Boston College. Game will kick off at 12pm ET/11am CT on Dec. 28 at Yankee Stadium in NYC on ABC.


=================================

These are all of the bowl games (excluding any College Football Playoff games, of course) that have contractual tie-ins with the Big Ten Conference.

It also includes the recent history of those bowl games involving B1G teams and those teams' records in each respective season to give a general idea of Nebraska's realistic placing in the postseason:

The College Football Playoff needs to expand

How many teams make the College Football Playoffs compared to other sports?

Football - 12 of 134 teams - 8.95%
Football (FCS) - 24 out of 129 teams - 18.60%
Football (NFL) - 14 out 32 teams - 43.75%
Men's Basketball - 68 out of 352 teams - 19.32%
Men's Baseball - 64 out of 300 teams - 21.33%
Women's Basketball - 68 out of 360 teams - 18.89%
Women's Volleyball - 64 out of 346 teams - 18.50%
Women's Softball - 64 out of 286 teams - 22.38%

Men's college football has the least amount of playoff teams of all the major sports. People would think of the playoffs completely different if bowl games didn't exist.
