I am still pretty depressed about the Huskers not going to a bowl. It is pretty hard to get over something when it has only happened twice in your life. Hopefully I don’t get used to it.
So instead of getting to post about Nebraska’s success in a bowl game I figured I would look back their appearances by bowl. For more information like this please visit the forum.
