huskerguy Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Whos all making there way to Lawrence, KS for the game? I am Quote Link to comment
Utah_Husker Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I would if I was closer. I'm heading down to Vegas instead to catch the BYU-UNLV game. So there's no TV at all on the Nebraska game? I was hoping to be able to catch some of it at the ESPN Zone or something. Which reminds me of a question I've always wondered. How come Nebraska doesn't show the games locally every week? The local channels out here carry Utah, BYU, and Utah State every week, even when they're not on the networks. They have their own sportscasters and do their own production. Of course the quality isn't as good as ESPN or ABC but at least you can see the game when the team is out of town. It would make even more sense in Nebraska what with Memorial always sold out. Anyone have an answer? Quote Link to comment

KansasHusker Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I think me and a couple friends are, 1 of which is a ku fan and 1 is a ksu fan, but the ksu friend of mine will be in husker gear, strange huh? he'll be an imposter but will at least look like 1 more husker fan there!

DJR313 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 If my memory serves me correctly, the game in Lawrence is usually about 50% Nebraska fans. Almost like another home game. Quote Link to comment

Because Nebraska is a Big12 school and the BIG12 has sold tv rights to ABC, Fox Sports and their subsidaries (TBS for Fox and ESPN for ABC) Quote Link to comment

Yep, great place to watch a game. I was there in 01, and we had a ball. The setting is pretty scenic, but we had a tough time finding the "Lawrence nightlife." The tailgate was awesome! If I remember correctly, we only drove a few block, went to an "old town" area, and it seemed pretty dead. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'll be there making it as red as I can. Quote Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Yea, I was there in 01 too. Seemed to be 75% red (Husker red ) . If you exclude students, it would be mainly "sker fans. Quote Link to comment
blackshirts_maniac Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Me and my dad will be there this weekend, went to the MU game to. That was me and my dads first NU game. We have always just watched them on TV and listened to the games on the radio. My dad was born in raised in Nebraska and has always been a die hard fan and raised me to do the same. Hopefully against KU they'll beable to shine. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Kansas fans are going to be like Notre Dame fans and try and sell there tickets for as high a price as possible. They know NU fans will pay. Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I made a stop to the ku scout board, their taking a roll call for ku fans going to the game...it was funny at the start because one guy said he sold 4 to a husker fan, then this other guy says he gave his to his neighbor who is a husker fan...one guy jumped on them for that lol, go big red! more husker red the better!

Utah_Husker Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Because Nebraska is a Big12 school and the BIG12 has sold tv rights to ABC, Fox Sports and their subsidaries (TBS for Fox and ESPN for ABC) Yes, but the Mountain West Conference has a TV deal with ESPN as well. If they don't pick up the game, there are restrictions on when it can be played, but the local channels can still show it. Quote Link to comment
