3 times in 12 months...

So everyone in the state of Nebraska knows that the Cornhuskers lost last night in the Big XII championship so no need to really go into depth about that. What I'm wanna talk about is Nebraska's bowl game. The bowl picks were all released tonight and just like most of the people in Nebraska, I thought the Huskers would be heading to Tempe, AZ to play our soon-to-be rivals, Iowa in the Insight Bowl. Much to my surprise, the committee for the Insight Bowl decided they wanted to go with Nebraska's Big XII North rival, the Missouri Tigers and Nebraska got stuck with going back to the Holiday Bowl for the second time in a row. Our opponent in the Holiday Bowl, you ask.... For the second time this season, Nebraska will go against Jake Locker and the Washington Huskies.

I'm kind of upset about having to play the Huskies twice in one season but I guess the Holiday Bowl committee really had no other choice but the take the Huskies. The reason they had to the Huskies is because the Holiday Bowl, every year, has to take a 6+ win team from both the Big 12 and the Pac-10. With Oregon going to the BCS National Championship game and Stanford (11-1) going to the Orange Bowl and Arizona going to the Alamo Bowl, the Holiday Bowl had one choice and they had to go with Washington.

The Holiday isn't until the 28th of December so hopefully in the next 3 1/2 weeks, the Huskers can get all their players healthy, especially the freshman Taylor Martinez, and they can have another 500+ yard game just like they did at the beginning of the season in Seattle.

Oh yeah, before I stop writing, you're probably wondering why the title of this blog is "3 times in 12 months...". Well, count how many times Nebraska is going to be playing Washington starting with this season and ending next season.
