I think NU officials are going to work with Minnesota to play on Black Friday. Heroes ==> Broken Chair 2019 schedule, Iowa at Huskers to play on Black Friday (November 29th). Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I was hoping to get Youngstown State on the schedule. Quote Link to comment

Before announcing future opponents, both UCF and NU was open slots on 2020 schedules ..... same date (used to be "TBA"). And Fearless Frank too. Now put in SDSU Jackrabbits. .

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. I wouldn't consider any of those 3 locations a neutral site. Might as well do true home and home with them if that's how it'll be. Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Since when did Nebraska NOT feature patsies in the non-con schedule? Our mid-90s powerhouse teams always feasted on one or two Pacifics, Akrons or North Texases 1 Quote Link to comment
beorach Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) FBS has too many teams for us (130 right now) to be dipping down another level, imo, but maybe this is the new status quo? Texas alone has a dozen football programs classified as belonging to the top division: Texas Texas A&M Rice Houston UTEP UTSA Texas State North Texas Baylor TCU Texas Tech SMU Getting back to the matter of the status quo, I did a quick bit of math to determine that there were 98 games played between FBS and FCS teams last (this) season. If no FBS team played more than one FCS team, that would mean 75% of FBS programs played a game against an FCS team. Based on what I'm looking at on cfbstats.com, it would appear that's the case. The following B1G teams didn't play this kind of cupcake in 2017: Illinois Iowa Michigan Michigan State Minnesota Nebraska Northwestern Ohio State Penn State Purdue Wisconsin That's almost 80% of the conference, such that we're bucking the national trend. Here's the SEC list: Florida I suppose that's enough for now... Edited December 14, 2017 by beorach Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 When I see these non-conference games against FCS opponents I'm not as mad as are some people. South Dakota state is a good FCS team, they are in the semi-finals this year and are probably better than a lot of Conference USA or Sunbelt opponents. Quote Link to comment

The only thing that's changed is whether we have 3 or 4 non-con games. Edited December 15, 2017 by RunMickeyRun02 Quote Link to comment

Savage Husker Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 It’s time to absolutely dismantle these neighbor FCS schools. Make Nebraska kids second think a scholly to a school who stands no chance against P5 and especially NU. It’s a feel good story for the SDSUs, and NDSUs, etc. when they have success, but their success hinders what we want to see in Lincoln. The walk-on offer will become more intriguing as soon as NDSU and SDSU aren’t hanging around as the top FCS schools. Quote Link to comment

gorp512 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 As much as this non-conference scheduling 25 years out gives fans existential dread, aren't schedules much more malleable when your team is good? Like Wisconsin is always playing someone big somewhere cool, was that done when they weren't this good? Oklahoma is nice, as was Oregon, but getting a big time SEC program on the schedule would be fantastic. Otherwise, call up every team in the AAC to fill other spots in the future.
