Saunders Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 The University of Nebraska and FOX Sports Midwest have announced that Nebraska’s three non-conference home football games will be available on a pay-per-view basis on Big 12 Special Order Sports, the network’s pay-per-view division. The two parties also announced the continuation of the school’s men’s and women’s basketball television package with the network for the 2009-10 season. Nebraska’s home football games against Florida Atlantic (Sept. 5), Arkansas State (Sept. 12) and Louisiana-Lafayette (Sept. 26) will all be available on a pay-per-view basis. FSN will produce the pay-per-view telecasts and the games will be available on participating cable systems in Nebraska as well as nationally on participating satellite and telco systems. Full details regarding the telecasts will be available in the coming weeks. Game times for the three contests have also been set. The season opener against Florida Atlantic will kick off at 6 p.m. under the Memorial Stadium lights. The contest will mark the fourth time in the past six seasons Nebraska has opened the season with a home night game, and the 13th time in program history NU has opened the season under the lights. The following week Nebraska will take on Arkansas State in a 1 p.m. contest. Following a trip to Virginia Tech on Sept. 19, Nebraska returns home on Sept. 26 to face La.-Lafayette in a 6 p.m. contest. The game will be Homecoming on the UNL campus and will also mark the Huskers’ 300th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium. The three non-conference home games are being televised on a pay-per-view basis because they were not selected for over-the-air broadcast or cable television coverage. In addition to the three pay-per-view contests, Nebraska previously had three games selected to be telecast on ABC and ESPN. The Virginia Tech contest will be televised on ABC with a 2:30 p.m. CT kickoff from Blacksburg, Va. NU’s Big 12 opener at Missouri will be an 8 p.m. kickoff on ESPN on Thursday, Oct. 8, and the regular-season finale against Colorado will be televised nationally by ABC with a 2:30 p.m. CT kick. Game times and television information for the remainder of the Huskers’ games will be announced six to 12 days in advance of kickoff. http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&a...p;DB_OEM_ID=100 Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 sh**ty camera angles and non-HD broadcasts...sounds like fun!!! Quote Link to comment
skerfan1705 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Damn.... The most surprising thing about that is the Homecoming Date....26 Sept?!?! I guess it's to coincide with the 300th Sellout. Oh..and the fact that we don't want to get stomped on Homecoming again.... Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 sh**ty camera angles and non-HD broadcasts...sounds like fun!!! Is it asking too much for no sporting event to ever again be shot with standard cameras? The digital conversion is here now, its about time standard definition was abandoned. Like Black and White was when color came around. Quote Link to comment

redout22 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well I wasn't planning on buying them anyway so doesn't matter to me. Can't wait tell the 1st game though Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The Sun Belt Television Network? I might get the first one just to relieve my football withdraw and to see how the Huskers are lookin' I just hope FAU has more than one commercial. Drove me nuts when Western Michigan only had ONE friggin' school commercial that was played over and over and over and over . . . Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Damn....I was hoping at least one of them would have been picked up by ESPN or non-pay per view....I guess I will be going to Senser's in Bloomington to watch the games and listen to the band....oh yeah and drink a lot of beer!

Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Dang. I was hoping they'd all be night games. And since the University decided to finally kick me out ( ) there will be no more student tickets for me... I'm just glad there will be a way to watch my Huskers. I'd rather them be in regular definition, or whatever, than not on TV at all. No HD does suck, but I'm not going to get too butt hurt over it. I'm just saying... my $.02. Quote Link to comment
