WoodyHayes1951 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 This is bullsh#t and shouldnt be allowed to happen. Want a neutral site game? Make the CCG or a bowl game. I wanna see the likes of Penn St, Michigan, and Ohio St in frickin Lincoln. I dont want to drive to kansas City. i wont drive to Cleveland. This is just stuped. Talk about watering down the passion and intensity of college football. Which is why it should be up to the team who gets 5 home games to decide which one isn't played at home to make sure the fans get the best games possible. Quote Link to comment

Or just give them the option whether they want to do it or not period. We get 5 home conference games this year and only 4 next year. Too bad. I just dont like this situation. My opinion only.

Notre Dame Joe Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Fingers crossed that the Husker's get a neutral game in Texas. Preferably Dallas. Glad to see the Big10 is following our lead, we've been doing this on and off for a century and now it's pretty much a given. The best way is to go to a "neutral" site in good recruiting territory where you are the de facto home team. We'll be playing Arizona State in Dallas but Jonestown should be nearly devoid of Sundevils. They won't mind because it will be like one of their own home games by midway through the third quarter. I couldn't agree more. I loved it when Nebraska and Notre Dame did this very thing and had a neutral site game in South Bend. Some neutral sites draw better than others. D'oh/ Dec 1st 2012 google please. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 So your point is that Nebraska has more fans in Indianapolis than Notre Dame has fans in South Bend? And you sold it with a link to Bleacher Report. Quote Link to comment

Well, the Big 10 is not following your lead on everything ..........the last I checked, the majority of girlfriends of Big 10 players are still living, and are, in fact...........REAL !

And, of course, all those empty seats - which was from the 2011 B1G Championship game between Wisconsin and Michigan St. - are due to Husker fans? Quote Link to comment

jsneb83 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 If we are in fact doing this, you can say goodbye to home and home's with other BCS teams Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Neutral sites are a bad idea. They only see it as extra revenue. Quote Link to comment

mrandyk Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 f#*k this conference. It is definitely on a downswing. Rutgers and Maryland? More ACC teams joining? Legends and Leaders? Neutral site conference games? Urban Meyer? Screw all of that. Quote Link to comment
