Nexus Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's quite possible that both NU and UT could be undefeated and ranked in the Top 10 (or even Top 5) when 10/16/10 arrives. The last time two Top 10 undefeated teams played in Memorial Stadium was in 2001 when defending National Champs OU (#2) played NU (#3). With that in mind, it's interesting to note that like OU in '01 (Nate Hybl), UT will be bringing a first year QB into Memorial Stadium in '10. FWIW, ESPN College Game Day Live was in Lincoln in '01 for the OU/NU match-up. The likelihood that they'll be in Lincoln in '10 (assuming both NU & UT are undefeated) is pretty good. Bearing in mind that the rankings will look different by the time 10/16/10 rolls around, the only other big game happening that weekend is: Ohio St. (ESPN pre-season rank #2) @ Wisconsin (ESPN pre-season rank #11) Quote Link to comment

bbeerma2 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'd normally guess that they would watch the Big Ten matchup. However, the ending to the Big XII Championship game will surely change things. I hope to god they don't schedule those two games on top of each other. They are both must-sees for me as a Wisconsin fan and a Nebraska alum. Quote Link to comment

Well if we assume that all four of those teams are undefeated when 10/16 rolls around, then I see ESPN coming to Lincoln for the obvious reasons. OSU is playing at Wisconsin. Now if it was in Columbus, then that'd be a valid reason to host it at the Horse Shoe instead. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I don't really care if Gameday comes to Lincoln or not. To me, it's one of the most over-hyped and redundant sporting events in football and sports in general. Quote Link to comment

Exactly. And then hundreds (sometimes thousands) of fans sit stand around a past-his-prime coach, while they wait for him to put a mascot's head on? No thank you. I like some of the player segments they do and some of the interviews, but their overall analysis is numbing. Quote Link to comment

GMoose Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 There's no way gameday doesn't come for that game. The whole country was watching that game last year. Quote Link to comment
