ScottyIce Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 In all seriousness, I'm actually okay with firing Eichorst and Riley. And yes, it's all because of Black Friday. 4 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Come on man, we've always played on Black Friday. Since I can remember. Want to ass something to it, bring back OU. If you want to make it a rivalry, give me Penn St. I still can't stand them for the "L" shaped end zone.....For older fans, it makes sense to have them. Or even Michicken..... I hate the idea. I really think it is one more move pushing NU towards mediocrity. Quote Link to comment

Why are we alright with a random Friday but not Black Friday. This is had better come with the removal of ALL Friday games from our schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nebhawk Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Just another way the Big 10 can lower our standards even more. NO Michigan and Ohio St are not losing there game! Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 After thinking about it, I guess I'm not too fussed. I don't really want to force a rivalry; I would rather let one develop organically. But the B1G has a different feel to it anyway; I feel like we have four or five big games as opposed to one anymore. It will be kind of odd to end the season with a game that doesn't really have much history or angst.... no disrespect to Minnesota. I remember 1989 if for nothing else that Oklahoma-Nebraska wasn't on television and it was VERY weird. To this day I don't know anything about the game except that we won and that it didn't mean anything because we'd lost to CU already. I think part of the issue is that we aren't special anymore. Right now we aren't much more than a volleyball school that plays football. Putting us on television makes most of the country yawn these days. Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'm awaiting the Lee B column on the Eichorst Friday flip flop. It's going to be straight fire. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 This seems like a slap-in-the-face to a significant number of Husker fans. We have a 30+ year history of Black Friday games, and now we're losing that special tradition. 2 Quote Link to comment
BigTenBadger Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 6 hours ago, ColoradoHusk said: Minnesota fans will be the mostupset about that change. Quite right. I don't want to speak for all Wisconsin fans, but the so-called rivalry between Minnesota and Wisconsin has had an increasingly small significance for Badger fans. It's always nice to beat annoying little brother (as I'm sure it was nice to beat your border rivals Kansas and Kansas State every year) but I think younger generations of Badger fans would very much get on board with replacing that dying end-of-the-year rivalry with an Iowa or even Nebraska matchup. The older generations of Badger fans will balk at replacing Minnesota as a rival, but it's just been so boring for so long for the younger fans. Think of it this way: Freshmen in high school have never known a world where Wisconsin hasn't beaten Minnesota in this so-called "rivalry game" every year. Time to change it up! Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Yeah not thrilled with the harmonious "Screw Black Friday" thing Riley and ADSE are singing. Very simple solution here if they honestly think 1 day males such a difference in preperation for the game: SCHEDULE A PATSY THE WEEK BE......FORE! Aka, SEC scheduling. Purdue, Northwestern, Iowa are all fine games to play in weeks 1 and 2. 2 Quote Link to comment

It's why he's had oatmeal and orange juice every day for breakfast for the past 30 years. Quote Link to comment
