Hayseed Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Actually I see little benefit in playing a starter game after the season is over......especially considering they hightailed it. I don't see it happening......should've been played today. Quote Link to comment

Packerhuskerfan Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Florida State played a game during championship weekend last year to make a bowl. It has been done. I'd like for them to schedule a FCS team during the bye. I don't think the extra week is going to help us beat Ohio State. I see that as a likely loss regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment

Don't play someone on the level of Savannah State or Prairie View A&M, which probably eliminates Bethune Cookman. Abilene Christian. or Samford are perfectly fine opponents for 10/27. I'll bet they are both better than Kansas and would likely have a puncher's chance against Illinois. Quote Link to comment

They wanted to get out of here as soon as they could and collect a pay day. Sure it would have been a hassle to have the game today but we were more than ready to make accommodations for them and put in our part to make it happen. In another sense maybe I would want to reschedule with them and beat the living hell out of em. Quote Link to comment

I agree, and from that same perspective, if we truly need this game to reach 6 wins, then we're probably better off having the week of Dec 3 off to rest and recover from the season. We're likely looking at a Dec 23 bowl game if we're only at 6 wins, so it's going to be a quick turnaround (as far as bowl season goes) if we schedule something for the first weekend of December.

I don't see it happening......should've been played today. Any and every other cupcake team would've left. That much was predictable. The only reason to schedule another game should be bowl eligibility (and the extra practice time that comes with it). I hope we don't need an extra game to attain that, but if we do, then we're shooting ourselves in the foot of we don't try to get something scheduled. Quote Link to comment

Get a million dollars and avoid playing a meaningless game where my team would probably get whooped and some of my guys could easily get injured? Good for them that they came out way ahead in this scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dansker Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So, refuse to pay them after they backed out. Then tell them we won't be scheduling another matchup with them in the foreseeable future. I hate playing the "What If" game. As of right now, we have 11 games remaining. Win them all, take care of business and worry about a 12th game later. 1 Quote Link to comment

We will just have an 11 game regular season. this, why would we want less prep time for Bucky? Take the extra week get extra fired up for the big game. As long as we don't lose 6 other games this wouldn't have mattered anyways Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Guys, look at the big picture. We have to schedule this game to get a W. Michigan and Texass lost. This is our chance to climb the most wins ladder! 1 Quote Link to comment
SECHusker Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I get the feeling Moos will wait and see how the season goes before he reschedules a game. If it looks like we'll make a bowl game without the additional game, then my money is on him not rescheduling. Quote Link to comment
