dergibog Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I enjoy watching Thursday night games on TV at home. But I have season tickets to Husker games, and I really don't want the Texas game to be on a Thursday night! Getting down to Lincoln on a Thursday is really a hassle, and it doesn't give enough time to get primed for the game. Keep the Texas game on Saturday or better yet a Saturday night game, to give time to enjoy the tailgating, and really get pumped for the win!!! Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I prefer saturday night, I don't have to try and take thursday night off of work, and have to put up with unnecessary BS.... Gameday in Lincoln would be pretty sweet as well.... Quote Link to comment
I See Red People Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Texas' sentencing got pushed back, big deal. It doesn't mean that Bo won't still request the death penalty. Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thursday night Saturday night hell for all I care play the game on Monday afternoon. As long as texas gets spanked it will all be worth it. Damn every time I let the CCG go it keeps poping back into my mind. Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think one of the things that factored into Mack's decision is that the NU game is the game that follows the OU game. Having two back to back tough games is, in my opinion, why Mack isn't too excited to play on such short prep time. Couldn't agree more. Considering how important each game is in the scheme of the BCS, it would almost be unfair of us to cave in their skulls at such a vulnerable time. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd prefer to beat the crap out of Texas when they're at their best. 1 - that proves who the better team is, and 2 - Texas would have absolutely no room to give themselves credit or excuses for the loss.

Fuzzy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Whether its Thursday night or Saturday night, the world is still going to know that Nebraska laid a Big Red butt-whoopin' on Texas. 1 Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Meh...I don't really care b/c the Huskers will be ready for them no matter what day of the week it is. Maybe Gameday will come for it since it won't be on a Saturday. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Mack backing down works better for us anyways. Why would we want to lose our biggest recruiting weekend of the year besides the spring game? Not getting many kids in on Thursday Night. EVERY Kid with an NU offer wants in for that game. 1 Quote Link to comment
mmmtodd Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I like thursday for the fact we would be the only show in town. ABC has the NASCAR race that saturday evening, so if we are true national, youre looking at the 12/11 central time slot on ABC, and IF Gameday is there, that will definitely be the slot. Pretty early to get down to lincoln... and when we win, those make for loooong, but fun, days. Personally, Im not a fan of the early saturday home games, I prefer to do the hard tailgating pre-game and go in juiced, makes the drive home safer afterwards if ya know what I mean. If not, then we are likely the late game on ESPN, the 8/7 central slot i suppose. The magnitude this game presents though, I dont see how its not on ABC. And FYI--Its pretty hard to get recruits in for those early saturday games as well. Friday night games, then having to catch a plane into the giant, flight filled Omaha or Lincoln airports in time for a 11AM Lincoln kick is pretty tough and has thrown cogs before.

T_O_Bull Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Good for Texas! Thursday games suck, which is why they should be reserved for MWC, WAC, SBC, MAC and CUSA type games, not games that actually matter. Absolutely right. Good for Coach Brown and Texas. College football is meant to be played on Saturday! Screw that fabricated Thursday night game, its only played then to make more money for ESPN. T_O_B Quote Link to comment
