huskerification of your brain Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well the best thing about the visit list is that the UL and FSU games shouldn't be to crazy of atmospheres, and Tennessee will most likely lose that game. So if we could pull off a win with a good atmosphere and it being his last visit I would say that plays in our favor. uh...papa johns stadium WILL be very rocking that week. Kentucky won the last game that is their rival, it'd be like nebraska playing every big 12 north team and OU at the same time. Is this a sarcastic statement??? 42,000 capacity at papa john's..... average attendance of less than 40,000 per game last year. Lets do the math. Every other big 12 north team+ OU (6 games worth of attendance at 85k per game if at home). 510,000 yelling fans..... does not compute. Our spring game was more "rocking". No offense.....just didn't see any logic. Maybe I missed some sarcasm??? Quote Link to comment
Reebsker Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 This would be big to get both but they're not a package deal. There is still a very big chance though Good that they aren't. Package deals almost never work out...just look at Kenny Demens and Jonas Gray from last year. Quote Link to comment

Numbers alone don't tell you everything. My grandparents went to the USC vs Nebraska game, and then went to a U of L game, they both agreed that U of L was much much louder. the stadium is designed to keep the noise in.

typ3kal Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Kid looks great on tape, give him a year or two in a D1 program with great coaches & weights and he will be a BIG TIME d1 back, great speed, great play reads, very nimble. Would be great to get him. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Now that we have Green Oku becomes the biggest priority, fingers crossed on a killer visit and a big game against Va Tech. Robinson and Oku would be a great thunder'n'lightning combination. Quote Link to comment
