Sean Callahan has a thread over at RSS about it. I searched Google for confirmation and the only thing I could find was Wikipedia, but it didn't have a source to back it up.
According to the Wikipedia entry, we're scheduled to play South Carolina on Sept. 3rd, 2011. Interestingly enough, our 2011 schedule is open on that date, so I guess it is possible?
Another thing too is each team collects a cool $1.9 million. The game is played at the Georgia Dome and is a nationally televised game on ABC.
Stay tuned...
Nebraska and South Carolina had 2 very good games in 1986 and 1987. Their coach, Joe Morrison, died after the 1988 season. He was an interesting character who wore all black and smoked on the sidelines.

Reggie Arnold could start for a few Big XII schools.
ASU knocked off A&M last year. Can't take them lightly.
-
Reggie Arnold is a very good running back for Arkansas State.
-
How about a Nebraska-Arkansas game? Arkansas is the closest SEC school to Nebraska and has a very nice facility.
Like the Huskers, the Hogs are the only team in their state that gets any fan support.

For those that missed it ESPNU will replay it all morning leading up to Colin Cowherd's radio show

Since I'm from I.M. Hipp's hometown I'll list him as my favorite, but Rozier is the best alltime

I put Alabama as #1, I have a little joke I made up:
If the president were to be assasinated, the headlines of every paper in the state of Alabama would not read "Obama Assasinated" but would read something like "Saban thinks terrorists were afoot in Obama assasination, race heats up for QB as Spring Drills resume!"
I'd agree Bama has more pressure than Kentucky. In Alabama all they have is football. When Bear died the state shut down. It was as if a president's funeral was going on when Bear was being buried.
Kentucky loves its basketball, but it also has horse racing and other things in the state. Just look at the number of coaches Bama has run off since Bear's death.

No Mike Sherman either.

Don't worry Jen, I thought the exact same thing when I first read this thread

23. Bo Pelini(10-4 at Nebraska and overall)- In 2019 when we make this list Pelini might be in the top 5. There are few defensive minds better than Pelini and soon it will start to show in Lincoln. The Blackshirts will be back and Pelini will have Nebraska in a BCS bowl very soon. Pelini has led top defenses at Nebraska, Oklahoma, and LSU as a DC. Toughness is back in Lincoln and will stay there for a long time.

This list should be called the jobs with the most pressure to win. If I were making a list of the toughest jobs I'd have
Baylor
Vandy
Iowa State
Duke

This list shows if nothing else, money can't by championships. It just puts you in the running. If I where a Razorback or Game **** booster, I'd want a refund! All that cash hasn't bought either of those teams jack.
It's gotten Arkansas possibly the best athletic facilities in the country and at least the Hogs have 3 SEC division titles in the last 12-13 years.
It's gotten South Carolina 2 HOF coaches in Spurrier and Holtz even though the program for 100 years has been a death trap for coaches. It actually killed Joe Morrison(coached against the Huskers in 86 and 87)

LSU and Va Tech played on Thursday to start off the season two years ago.
That was a Saturday game. You are thinking about LSU playing at Mississippi State 2 years ago to start the season. These are the opening games on Thursdays since 2005
2005 Central Florida at South Carolina
2006 South Carolina at Miss State
2007 LSU at Miss State
2008 NC State at South Carolina
2009 South Carolina at NC State
ESPN loves Spurrier and cowbells to open the season I guess.

Thursday Nights are no longer just for MWC or CUSA teams. Just in the past couple years we've seen the following teams play on Thursday
Auburn
West Virginia
Miami
Southern Cal
Texas
Clemson
Texas A&M
Florida State
Each of those schools are tradition rich programs and they weren't too good for a Thursday Night game.

I know Clemson likes to play smaller schools in the state so that when we pay a smaller school, it keeps the money in the state.
I'm still embarrassed that we play at least one of these teams per year.
One thing all schools are learning if they are serious about being one of the topped ranked schools they need to quit scheduling the patsy's. SOS is everything now days, and you can think you have a good SOS until one of the big names on your schedule goes out and loses to Western Michigan or someone like that, then their loss comes back to bite you in the butt. Damn, I don't want to start rooting for CU when they aren't playing us!!
Well hopefully that will change now that Bowden's gone. I totally agree. I want to go out and play you guys or someone else from the Big 12 or Pac 10.
Every once in a while, we'll play Georgia or another SEC school other than SC. I was pumped that we got to play Bama this year, although it ended badly for us.
In the next couple years Clemson has games with Ole Miss and Vandy scheduled.

What's up with everyone's love for Baylor. It's BAYLOR, for God's sake.
Ewww, they got a great young fleet footed quarterback, and they are an up-and-coming team, and ..... it's really going to be a close game.
C'mon folks. It's BAYLOR!!!!!
We'll float through the nonconference games. Missouri and Texas Tech are good teams, but they have looked very vulnerable down the stretch. We can play with Virginia Tech. We're not even close to Oklahoma....yet. My guess is that we have a similar record to this year, but WE DEFINITELY WONT LOSE TO BAYLOR!
Art Briles is a great coach who I think will finally get Baylor in a bowl if he stays long enough. I don't see Nebraska losing to the Bears though.
-
In a conference with so much offense, I'm thrilled that the Huskers will become the tough defensive team of the league.
We have the best defensive mind in the Big XII, if not the country
-
Nutt did an amazing job at the end of the year, he certainly could be #1
-
I wonder how the list would look after the bowls. Would Pelini be #1 after Johnson got whipped against LSU.
-
Playing Michigan and Ohio State would be fun, but what else would the move bring? It would hurt some Big 8 rivalries.
Won't happen. If the Big 10 expands I'd imagine they'd add Missouri, Pitt, or Syracuse.

I live in SC(hometown of I.M. Hipp actually) and you won't have any issues with Tiger fans for those traveling to Jacksonville.
Yes, they'll remind you of the 82 Orange Bowl, but that was their proudest moment so its understandable
