knapplc Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Looks like Colorado misses the good old-fashioned hidings they used to get from the Huskers these past few decades. They've agreed to a few home-and-home series against us. Huskers and Colorado Agree to Four-Game Series Nebraska will renew its rivalry on the gridiron with a long-time Big Eight and Big 12 opponent, as the Huskers have signed a contract to play four games against the University of Colorado between 2018 and 2024. The border rivals will first meet in Lincoln on Sept. 8, 2018, before a return matchup in Colorado on Sept. 7, 2019. Colorado will also play host to the Huskers on Sept. 9, 2023, with the Buffs returning to Memorial Stadium for a matchup on Sept. 7, 2024. The games with Colorado will be the first in the series since both schools left the Big 12 Conference following the 2010-11 athletic season, with Nebraska moving to the Big Ten Conference and Colorado to the Pac-12 Conference. The teams last met in the regular-season finale in 2010, and that meeting marked the 63rd consecutive year the two schools had met on the gridiron. “There is a lot of great history between Nebraska and Colorado on the football field, so I think this will be an outstanding series for both schools,” Nebraska Head Coach Bo Pelini said. “I think our fans will enjoy the matchups, particularly those in Western Nebraska who can make the short drive out to the games in Colorado.” Overall, Nebraska holds a 49-18-2 advantage in the all-time series between the schools, including a 26-8 record against the Buffs in Lincoln. Nebraska won the final three meetings against Colorado from 2008 to 2010, and owns a 15-4 record against CU since 1992. Quote Link to comment

Haspula Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hope we hang 60+ every game Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Even though we will probably stomp them in the ground like we almost always did, I have absolutely no interest in these games. There were other schools in the Big XII that I didn't like. BUT, CU is the one that I have absolutely no respect for and honestly, I was glad to not have any association with them. I really don't understand why the athletic department thinks these are what the fan base wants to see. 4 Quote Link to comment

I really don't understand why the athletic department thinks these are what the fan base wants to see. I actually like playing Colorado because Colorado was actually good for a period of time and gave us a real run for the Big 8 crown. Missouri, on the other hand, beat up on us when the Huskers fielded their worst teams and still could barely capture the Big 12 North. Seeing these far-in-the-future series always gets me a little excited...until I realize how old I'll be when they're played. Yeah, same here. I'll be 26/27 for the first series of games and 31/32 for the second. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Curious what these games mean as far as an expanded B1G schedule. I know we've got OU out there as well but the years we go to Norman and Boulder could mean only six home games if there is a 9-game B1G schedule and we only have four home conference games that year. I thought that was pretty taboo. Unless we have enough pull to get the schedules to line up. Quote Link to comment

Living in Western Nebraska, most people I know have no respect for the program and don't want anything to do with them. Quote Link to comment

You know, give them a good hiding.... 1 Quote Link to comment
