ColoradoHusk Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Dirk (no, I am not Dirk) tweeted that we should all take these schedules with a huge grain of salt. What is the likelihood that these will actually come to play? I am sure Delaney is already targeting 2 more schools to get to 16, and these schedules will be thrown out. Quote Link to comment

Just throw on @Oklahoma and a home game against Kansas and we'll be good to go Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 2018 does look brutal but think of what it would look like if we win all those games? Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=bigten&id=86711 "It is odd that Nebraska and Ohio State play crossover games every year between 2016-19, but Nebraska and Michigan meet just once." I knew they were doing this parity based scheduling thing but why do we get Ohio State four straight years on top of the rest of the schedule. I think the Big Ten wants every team to finish around 10-2. Quote Link to comment
Creed Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Lots of comments here about the tough 2018 schedule - away games. Feel bad for the Nebraska fans because the home slate is really boring. Quote Link to comment

I think the Big Ten wants every team to finish around 10-2. Maybe Urban Meyer will be "burned out" by then. Of course by burned out, I mean leave Ohio State in 2015, take a year off, and then go to Alabama after Nick Saban retires after the 2016 season. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The B1G doesn't make any sense most of the time, but having said that, from a playoff perspective it could be beneficial if we win those games in 2018.... It would be my hope as a Husker fan, to either play Ohio St. or Michigan every year.... Rutgers, and Maryland have really watered down this conference. Their additions were one the more disappointing "sports" decisions that I can remember..... Quote Link to comment

It's never boring watching the Huskers. We put 60,000 people in the stadium for our Spring Game every year. Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I wouldn't dismiss Rutgers or Maryland, I would take them over Indiana, Illinois, Purdue, and maybe Minnesota. Rutgers recruits a bunch of NFL talent, believe they had more guys drafted than any B1G team last season. Quote Link to comment

Rutgers recruits a bunch of NFL talent, believe they had more guys drafted than any B1G team last season. Those programs you listed have been in the B1G a long, long time. Those schools ARE the B1G. They were made part of the conference back when geography was the only reason somebody was in a conference. The latest round of alignment was to improve the conferences and make some more money..... The B1G might make some money, but they considerably watered down this conference.... Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 2018...@Mich @Wisky @NW @OSU @Iowa How's that f'n possible? C'mon man. Someone in the B1G office must really have a beef with the Huskers. We also get MSU at home, Talk strength of schedule all you want, but the odds are 2-3 losses with that schedule, making all talk irrelevant. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 B1G conference including Rutgers and Maryland schedules - up to 2019 and beyond B1G schedules Quote Link to comment

We need to get to the mentality of "bring 'em on, we'll beat ANYBODY, ANYWHERE" and stop worrying about the f'ing schedule Quote Link to comment
jaws Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I fail to see a reason to worry about the schedule for 2018 or 2019. Maybe Michigan will be good by then Too much can happen between now. I also fail to remember when a team such as Nebraska should be fearful about playing in some of these venues. Quote Link to comment
