LINCOLN, Neb. | Low demand has led to the cancellation of a charter flight that had been lined up to take Nebraska fans to Jacksonville for the Gator Bowl.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Pennsylvania-based Collegiate Athletics canceled the Southwest Airlines 137-seat charter that was to fly travelers who booked through Executive Travel of Lincoln, AAA Nebraska and Allied Tour & Travel of Norfolk.
Executive Travel’s Steve Glenn said it’s the first time in 27 years that he’s had a charter to a bowl game cancelled.
Nebraska is playing 23rd-ranked Georgia for the second straight year in a bowl game. Last year Georgia beat the Huskers 45-31 in the Capital One Bowl.

Fewer BCS wins since 2000 than Kansas. That never fails to amaze me how badly they've fallen. When I was growing up they were always so dominant now they're a punch line to a joke. And it's irreversible.
This year they finished 49 in Sagarin. Behind Miss State-duke-Boise-Vandy-Houston-Utah st-northern Illinois-UNC. Read that list twice for effect.
