Will they go below face value? When face value is over $400 a ticket, I still find it hard to spend that much $ on a football game, especially with a 10 AM kickoff.

I think a Thursday night game on the opening week is cool. College football fans always want to catch those early games, regardless who is playing. It's a great opportunity for NU to do well in front of a national audience. The Friday after Thanksgiving is basically a weekend day, so I have always liked that Friday game. The only one which may be considered odd is the Illinois game, but as long as NU isn't moving a home game off Saturday, I don't think it's a big deal.

That move was announced weeks ago. Not sure how this is an example of NU getting the "short stick".

I agree with this 100%. If I attended more games in person, and did regular tailgating or hanging out before games, I would hate the early games.

I actually don't mind them. If I don't have anything else going on, I don't mind the early kickoff, and in Colorado it's an hour earlier for me. I am already awake early, no use waiting around for the game to start.

You are exactly right. You have to complete the play and make sure the game is over before you start to celebrate.

I am sure the parents of the losing team handled this really well!

Was able to get into the ticket office online to purchase tickets. I had no idea that CU was going to have the NU tickets at an astronomical price. I was looking for 4 tickets for me and my family, and couldn't justify spending $1900 for 4 tickets. These tickets were not from ticket brokers, these were the face value of the tickets from the CU Ticket Office. The cheapest seats for sale (which weren't available by the time I got into the site) were over $300 a piece. I decided to not give the CU ticket office my $ this year.

That's a great point. He could have been pissed off about having to wait for an offer from NU, but he did a good job of understanding the process. He used the process to his advantage to commit to Missouri, so he at least had a spot at a school as he finished his junior year of high school. He didn't burn bridges at NU, was mature and respectful during the whole process, and Kaelin ended up getting the offer from NU he wanted.

Maybe Kaelin didn’t have a committable offer from NU until last week. Huffman also said that Kaelin reached out to the Missouri head coach right away on Thursday, to tell them directly that he was de-committing from Mizzou. That’s all that Kaelin can do in this situation It’s the way things go in recruiting. I really don’t care about Mizzou.

Hail Varsity Radio had an interview with Mike Huffman today. Sounds like Rhule was upfront with Kaelin, and said they were prioritizing Raiola, but wanted Kaelin if Dylan chose elsewhere. As soon as Dylan committed to UGa, the coaching staff went right after Kaelin. Contacted him on Monday and met with him where they saw him throw on Wednesday. He impressed the coaches during that session. Kaelin had wanted to be a Husker since the 8th grade.

From I remember, Bellevue West had a terrible defense last year. Kaelin was a big reason BW’s offense was one of the best in Nebraska last year. Yes, he has great talent with him at the skill positions, but I don’t think you should hold the 7-4 record against Kaelin. Plus, all of their losses were against other great teams in Nebraska. Coaches do use high school film to judge players, but they mainly use in person evaluations to give offers. The coaches must have seen something they like in Kaelin to give him an offer.

I think it’s fair to bring in QB’s with different skill sets and have the offense adaptable to whomever wins the starting job. We haven’t seen one actual game yet.

Sam McKewon speculated that NU has been working on him for a few weeks once they realized Raiola was out of the picture (which was probably in mid-April). It does seem like a quick flip, but NU probably went to plan B once Raiola made it obvious he was going to UGa.

I have seen that some think Kaelin is a reach, but if he is able to help deliver the stud WR's out of Bellevue West, then it's worth taking a chance on him.
