BuzzardBilly Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 OK, maybe not in the regular season, but how about a spring game? Could be fun! Quote Link to comment
BigRedWeatherman Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That would be a massacre, but it would be a nice little spring time excitement. Quote Link to comment
glm09 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Why would UNL ever want to do that? Potential injuries and not the level of competition that would greatly benefit our players. This would be awesome for UNO, if they could handle getting absolutely destroyed...but i see no upside for UNL. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 A Spring scrimmage might not be so bad. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Should they? No, and for a couple reasons. 1) Even the idea of Nebraska playing UNO would spark some folks (I know a few) into talk about an intrastate rivalry between the two, and we can't have that. We don't want to be like Colorado and Colorado State. 2) UNL would flat out destroy UNO, even last year when UNO had a good season (2007). The level of play and athletic ability it takes to play at Nebraska far outweighs that of UNO. 3) If you think UNO could beat UNL, consider this. UNO is Division 2 I believe, and UNL wouldn't want to risk the chance of losing to a D2 school that might deter recruits and make them think less of Nebraska. Look at what happened to Michigan in 2007... Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That would be a massacre, but it would be a nice little spring time excitement. If the 2007 UNO squad played the 2007 UNL squad, it may have been the other way around. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 It would be good preperation for the spring but that would be like missouri playing SE mizzou state Quote Link to comment
huskersc Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It would be like...New England playing the Detroit Lions. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hard to say why it would be beneficial to UNL. Quote Link to comment
jayhawk Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hmmm. Not sure you are allowed to scrimmage other schools in the spring... Are you? Quote Link to comment

SkullandBones Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It would be like...New England playing the Detroit Lions. No, definitely not. It would be like New England playing...uh..well..UNO. Quote Link to comment
