Nebraska and Penn State have been in discussions about scheduling a future home-and-home football series, a Nittany Lions athletic department official confirmed Thursday.

 

Fran Ganter, a Penn State associate athletic director, said the Nittany Lions’ football schedules are full until 2011. Nebraska is among about a half-dozen teams in discussions with PSU regarding schedule openings starting in 2012, Ganter said. The Nittany Lions also are in talks with Georgia and Florida State, among others, he said.

 

“Nebraska and Penn State have played so many great games,” Ganter said. “Our fans still talk about playing out there (in Lincoln).”

 

Nebraska defeated Penn State 18-10 in 2003 in Lincoln to atone for a 40-7 loss the previous year in State College, Pa. The Nittany Lions lead the all-time series 7-6.

would love to see NU play penn state again. However, by the time we would play 'em, Joe Pa will be gone. I'd like to see us schedule Michigan or OSU....but Penn State would be cool, too.

i live in pa so it would be nice... would love to see psu play nebraska again

we just recently played penn st. in a home and home series. i would like to see us schedule someone new.

[huskerdavo]

I am cool with PSU but it was recent.

 

I would like us to play:

 

SEC - Georgia or Florida

 

ACC - Miami or FSU (we already playing VT) but Miami would be nice

 

Big 11 - Wisconsin (to determine whose 'Big Red' is bigger and redder?) or Michigan or OSU would be phenomenal

 

thats all I got. keep the big name teams coming it makes non-conf play enjoyable

No one I know wants to go back to Unhappy Valley and be harrassed the entire game.

I would like to have a Florida school on the schedule only if we get the game scheduled toward the end of November. Bring up them southern boys and play in Lincoln when the wind howls and the wind chill is "Butt Ass Cold" and see freeze.

 

That is what I want

I think its apparent that everyone here wants to see a big time program come to Lincoln every other year. I'm like everyone where it would be great to see new teams we have not seen before like some Big 10 (11) schools and ACC and SEC. Make it happen Steve!

[huskerguy]

We just saw them here, and they are losing their coach soo I dont like it

[BigRedDallasTexan]

I think it would be fun to play tennessee. From my experiences they have the second best fans in college football so it would be nice to play a game in the sea of red and play in the sea of orange the next year.

AGREE. Lets get some new blood .

Wow, it's tough to please the masses, eh?

 

We schedule La Tech, people whine about scheduling a cupcake.

 

We try to get PSU in here, hell, we played them just a few years ago, what a waste.

 

I don't think scheduling any big time school is an easy thing. It's been known for a few decades that the Florida schools refuse to come to Lincoln to play. I'd be pretty happy to have PSU come here since they took several recruits from us last year (JB Walton, AJ Wallace). I want the Huskers to rout them a few times and show the east coast recruits that the Huskers are to be reckoned with once again.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I think we should play Iowa sometime!!!! I'm tired of these mouthy Iowa fans talking about how good they are and how we suck!!!!

We're Nebraska...it should be easier than hitting speed dial 'Jo-Pa' every time we want to schedule someone to play. It should be apparent for big name teams that playing us will get them the attention they want. Hell, why not even hit us up while NU is a whipping boy and make yourself look good? Oh yeah...we aren't going to be there any longer.

 

Penn St. is a waste. A Michigan, Florida, even Oregon series would be cool. I just think it is rediculous to schedule a school over and over again that obviously has no respect for their oppenent's fan base.

 

If it's broke, fix it. And let them find their own way to their 'very' mythical NC.

9-4-99- NU 42-7 Idiots Out Wandering Around

9-23-00- NU 42-13 It's Our Waiting Assh*le!

 

End of debate.
