Nexus Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Going by the current FBS landscape (which changes on a yearly basis it seems), these are the teams NU has never played in its 122 year history. Of the 33 teams listed below, 9 of them are BCS teams and 2 of them are teams we will be playing for the first time in back-to-back weeks in 2015. BYU & South Alabama. BCS Maryland Boston College Virginia Louisville Connecticut Temple South Florida Kentucky Vanderbilt Non-BCS Navy BYU East Carolina Marshall Memphis Tulsa UTEP Tulane Kent State Bowling Green Ohio Buffalo Miami (OH) Massachusetts Toledo Central Michigan Eastern Michigan Louisiana-Monroe Florida International South Alabama Texas State UTSA San Diego State Boise State 2 Quote Link to comment

BYU & South Alabama............................................. hmmmm.......I thought slightly more teams. Aside from FBS and FCS thing, I'm curious what disbanded teams like Creighton, Pacific, etc. since WWI era. I didn't know that, South Alabama, UTSA and Texas State moved up to FBS.

I knew about Texas State. Isn't Chicken Franchione coaching down there? And considering how long Frank has been at Ohio, it's a sin that we haven't played them and given props to Frank during the game. Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Some of those teams just moved up to fbs level. Boise St is the only team that I would care to see us play. Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 UTSA has only had a football program for a couple years i believe, and they started out as a fbs team right away. Coker started as their first coach but not sure if he still is. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I seem to remember Nebr playing Navy once in the early 80's or late 70's but I could be wrong. Maybe it was a freshman game. It would be a nice gesture if we could honor Frank S during a game. Not sure playing them would be a good idea anytime soon. Hopefully after Frank retires and before Tom O passes. Even if some didn't care for his coaching, he was before that a good player on the early Devaney teams. This is an interesting thread. Lets schedule Louisville before Watson leaves?

default_28 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Georgia State and Old Dominion will be FBS next season. This list will likely get much longer in the next few years. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Louisville Kentucky Vanderbilt Ohio Miami (OH) Central Michigan Eastern Michigan Boise State Ohio? Central Michigan? It's a bit surprising we haven't played some of these teams. We'd be playing Boise in the next year of so --- if they hadn't been such greedly little wooses when we were trying to work the deal, that is. Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hey, bring the Huskers here to Tulsa and play at TUs 30K seat stadium. Do it quick - next year is Cody Green's last season at TU. Quote Link to comment

I agree - I would like to see us play Louisville - besides my own town team Tulsa. Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Well on the bright side Maryland will come off that list at some point over the next decade. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If the last go-around is any indication, we'll be in the same division as Maryland. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 If the last go-around is any indication, we'll be in the same division as Maryland. I dunno...I would think their opening up the debate on their website means they're open to ideas and that using something derived from the status quo won't suffice. Granted, I won't be shocked to see both Maryland and Rutgers on our 2014 schedule as away games, but probably as crossovers. B1G wants to maximize their ROI, and no better way to do that than to put the second/third most popular football program in the conference on local TV sets. Quote Link to comment
