Spring games are your team versus....your team. Nothing to be learned from that, shouldn't read into it ever. Won't know what you've got until the games count. Yeah, I am sure that is the reason BUT no one goes to softball games and well, kind of the same with baseball. I know it sounds harsh but the spring game is pretty much the 8th biggest Husker home sporting event each year. They should treat it as such. Quote Link to comment

It's not my choice so no offense taken, and I didn't say I agreed with 11 as I despise morning kickoffs with a passion, I was simply offering an explanation on why it was set then. 1 Quote Link to comment

Make it 1pm, help out the fans, the tailgaters, the bars the restaurants. Maybe avoid 1pm because potential late afternoon severe weather watch ? 2012 spring game was cancelled due to inclement weather. Not a spring game but September 1st 2018 opening season. Cancelled.

BaytownHusker Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Softball is gonna have the Jordy Bahl buzz going. Baseball could be big. Trev should make it to where the Spring game attendee's can get into baseball and softball games free lol. 1 Quote Link to comment

Please don't include Raiola. If I had to boil it down to 5 individuals, it would be these 6... Fidone - With a healthy year under his belt, does he look like a matchup nightmare in the middle of the field? Coleman - With a season, winter conditioning, and spring practices, does he look like a player DC's are scared to cover in man yet? Haarberg - He's a backup with significant game experience, that's a luxury in CF in 2024. He's also a player with a baseline we can assess the impact of Thomas with fairly easily. Butler - Started the season at Jack, what does he look like with an offseason of prep at DE? Hartzog - Has a lot of experience, but it's time for him to look like a 1b CB. Prochazka - I don't think he's had a healthy offseason and if the left side of the O-line is solid this year, the O-line will be respectable for the first time in a long time. If he can solidify himself as the LT, everything else falls into place. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

What's the point here? They shouldn't try to maximize revenue at the other two events even if it won't match the spring game which by default can hold roughly 14x more fans? People are going to show up for the spring game to watch Raiola no matter what time it kicks off. Might as well play it at a time where they can hope to entice a couple thousand people to wander over to Haymarket Park. Baseball is playing Iowa (who has won the series over Nebraska way too many times lately), I'd guess they'd get about 5K under normal circumstances which is pretty good, this timing could bump it up over 6K. Win-win. 1 Quote Link to comment

Win-win. Great point about people showing up for football no matter the time. People can talk about how football is more important but if it'll be sold out at 11, the AD can try and make more money for the other sports that day with people in town. Quote Link to comment
