The first being in Tokyo vs. Kansas State? Well, we play in Iowa every other year, that is sort of like being in another country...a really bad one. 1 4 Quote Link to comment

I was thinking about making that joke about Texas, but too many Huskerboarderians live there and I didn't want to dunk on them. Iowa was my second choice, but @BIGREDIOWAN and a few others wouldn't have liked it. 2 Quote Link to comment

How tired are they going to be after another 10 hour flight back home and how is that going to affect their prep for the next game? We play North Dakota the following week. We should be able to play them the next day and throttle them and if not, we should just pack it up and call it a season. 1 Quote Link to comment

As Tom Osborne would say, they're a pretty good ball club. We're going to have to play smart and work hard in this one. Quote Link to comment

You're right. We can't have more excuses. So, why put the team in a situation where it might be harder to win? Even when you plan far ahead, you know the risks involved. Quote Link to comment

After winning only 3 games last year, nobody can be taken lightly. Quote Link to comment

I haven't even been in the new stadium yet and this probably would be the only time I would go. Btw I am not biased at all if they move it to Vegas 1 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I made reservations in Vegas. Is the Vdara hotel near the stadium? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Ireland would be awesome, but I'd watch it in Vegas. I was planning to go to Vegas each weekend during the first four weeks of the college football season last year, and looking again at this year, for some college football action. I've been monitoring the cost of flights. Fuel has been incredibly high since March 2021 (when I paused a second to monitor the fuel situation), and it's been increasing every month like crazy for a solid year. Would be paying 3X as much as normal. It's crazy. So my plans to Vegas will be on hold again this year as well, unfortunately Quote Link to comment
