huskerscott Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) "There has been talk about it," Bielema told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Nothing has been confirmed. If I'm a person who watches Big Ten football I know that is a pretty big game. "I think if we're doing things right and Nebraska continues to (win) it will be a showcase game." http://my.journalstar.com/post/Husker_Extra_Group/Husker_Extra/blog/under_the_lights_in_madison.html Apparently their has been talk about the Wisconsin game being a night game according to Bielema. I personally love atmosphere of a night game. To me this has a feel of a 2:30 like game. With us playing Ohio Light next week, I would think that would be the big showcase game. That the BigTen and ESPN/ABC networks want..... Gameday, night game, all the bells and whistles it brings. Plus it being the first game back for Tressel and his boys. Here is a list of possible ABC/ESPN day and night games. Nebraska vs. Wisconsin Michigan State vs. Ohio State Arizona vs. USC GT vs. NC State Miss. State vs. Georgia Kentucky vs. LSU Alabama vs. Florida Clemson vs. Virginia Tech (at VT you know ESPN loves some VT) Arkansas vs. Texas A&M (at Jerry World you know Jerry would push for a night game, Texas A&M is the hometeam) Auburn vs. South Carolina (at South Carolina) I tried to include the games that ESPN/ABC would pickup like the 3 SEC games obviously CBS would pick the best one, then ESPN would get the next pick. On the same note, when do the BigTen TV schedules come out. Also how do they select the games. For example do we know 2 or 3 weeks advance or much further away than that.

suh_fan93 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 That would be awesome. NU needs some Saturday night prime time love. Hope it happens. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 For some reason I thought the Big Ten rarely ever played conference night games? Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Heck no, I don't want that happening. Camp Randall is already one of the toughest places to play in CFB, it doesn't need to be intensified by a night game. 2 Quote Link to comment

Better hope this doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment
SuperBuckFan08 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If this is a night game, set your DVR's, Tivo's, VHS cassette tapes, we'll be in for one hell of a night and personally I plan on massively enjoying what may be a huge defensive battle if this is really a night game.

JTrain Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I dunno, I kinda miss when the biggest games were usually on at 2:30. Not that a night game isn't cool every now and then, but I'm not a big fan of how ESPN has turned it into a weekly thing. Quote Link to comment
IllinioisHusker Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I understand the fear of playing at Camp Randall in the evening, but I hope we do. First, its just flat out exciting. Second, I want NU to be able to play anybody, anywhere, anytime. Every person that follows college football understands what Wisconsin fans bring to the table for games. So if we can beat them on their home turf with the lights on, I just see that as deserving more respect(given this all depends on how well they do next year). 1 Quote Link to comment
LNCBorn Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Welcome to the B1G conference Husker Nation! Wisconsin at Camp Randall under the lights. This will be a war! (drools) GBR Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Anyone, anywhere, any time. That's got to be our mindset. If we're afraid to play at Camp Randall at night, what does that say about this team? Bring it on. Shine the spotlight. Let's go. Quote Link to comment
