We get it. Northwestern is the smallest school in the Big Ten. We will never be able to turn out fans like Iowa, Michigan, or even Illinois.
The Music City Bowl is fine. Last year, we all said that Pittsburgh got jobbed by the bowl process. Then what happened. Northwestern should look on this as a great opportunity to cap off a great season. Nashville is cheaper than San Diego and within reasonable driving distance of Evanston.
But, let’s be honest, Northwestern got totally hosed by the bowl selection process. If Northwestern had a bigger brand, it’s hard to see it not panning out better.
