Bigred_inSD Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The team is so bad that they now need to play games in Ireland in 2021 against Illinois 2 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Might be a dang fun trip. 1 Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I think this is pretty cool! I've always wanted to go to Ireland and it looks like I need to find a reason to go now! Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Huh. That's fun, but I have no idea why either team would go to Ireland. Notre Dame playing there occasionally makes a little sense, although I doubt they're really embraced by the actual Irish. I suppose in either case your target audience isn't people from Ireland, it's US fans willing and able to fly there for a game. I don't expect a lot of orange in the stands. Quote Link to comment

HuskerNation1 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I wonder if this will be played the Saturday of labor day weekend or sometime earlier to allow the teams to get some rest before Week 2. Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I just saw this. It's a neat idea but kind of strange at the same time. Just wondering how they decided on this game (vs Illinois???) for one. Quote Link to comment
10_point_buck Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 At least there will be plenty of whisky to help Husker fans who do go and watch. Maybe Scotty Frosty will have his crap together by then...time will tell. Quote Link to comment
Ziebol Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So we get this game August 28th and then we are off until September 11th when we play Buffalo in Lincoln. We will have 7 home games that year as Southern Louisiana will take the place of the Illinois game. That will be between the Iowa and Wiscy game so essentially a bye week. We would play 4 home games in a row during that stretch. Quote Link to comment

swmohusker Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Nice recruiting tool too. Sell kids on an opportunity to go to oversees and play. 1 Quote Link to comment
