Hooked on Huskers Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I thought Georgia Southern is a member of FCS. Obviously my mistake. SDSU Jackrabbits and NDSU Bisons -- FCS Georgia Southern -- FBS Quote Link to comment

Husker NoNo Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I wish we had scheduled NDSU. It would have been a no-win situation for us, but someone NEEDS to shut them up. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 SEC is smart. They basically schedule in two off weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment

Plus, when the SEC schedules conference games early in the season, it gives their teams boosts in the early season polls. The winner will sometimes go up 5-10 spots with a big SEC win, and the loser doesn't drop all that much (and has 2-3 months to rise back up in the polls). 2 Quote Link to comment

RunMickeyRun02 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I think I may be the only person in the universe who doesn't mind this. Schedule wins if we can, I used to enjoy seeing future Huskers get playing time in mop up roles, or walk-on/other Huskers that never quite cracked the line up get rewarded with playing time. Yes it looks bad on a CFB resume, but we haven't lost less than 4 games since 2003, so I welcome that "problem". Sure we could be way better by then, but maybe playoff creep could have expanded to more teams by then, or more teams in the conference or college football and football in general is so watered down safety wise it's unwatchable or fear of CTE causes participation/interest to plummet, it may seem far fetched but so much is possible in ten years. As far as scheduling SEC, that's a two way street, they have to WANT to play us. It takes two teams to make a deal, and I don't think they're willing to negotiate. 1 Quote Link to comment

Some of us who moved out to Denver are just happy to get our boys back a couple of times. Also some of us here in Ariz, would like to see our Huskers down in Tucson. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment

huskered17 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I think playing the N&S Dakota's once in awhile isn't so bad as long as its not a long deal. We do get players out of those areas we want. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) I really like the idea of moving the second part of that CU series out to the 2030's and playing in 2 of those "neutral site" kickoff games with an SEC team. Maybe host our home game in KC at Arrowhead. Something like... LSU at the Superdome or TAMU at Jerryworld OR! Florida in Jacksonville Edit-- I really wouldn't mind scheduling a h/h with UCF/USF/FSU/UF either. We're gonna recruit the hell out of Florida with Frost and this staff here. Might as well play there if we can. Edited December 14, 2017 by seaofred92 Quote Link to comment
