2005 schedule additions

Who cares. I get to go to 7 count them 7 home games next year. Sorry not gonna complain about that one. Palying crapping D-1AA and lower D-1 schools is nothing new. How's that Pacific football program doing again? Did anybody complain in 2002 when we palyed Troy St, Utah St. and McNesse St? 1 D-1AA and 2 just had just turned D-1. Is it freakin September 3rd yet?

 
I believe wake forest is div 1. I thought the same about western illinois when I saw they were on our schedule. IMO since div 2 schools cannot go to any of the bowls, I do not feel any of the games played against a div 2 school should count with wavers or not.
I know that it is a good payday for the schools like maine to jump up and play div 1 schools and they get great experience playing better compitition, but what good does it do us to play them. We risk injury in a meaningless game. our players came to div 1 to play against the best out there. Dont get me wrong there are some real talented players in div 2, but for the price of tickets and the game day experience I would like to see us play better compitition.

I have just never been a fan of playing these types of teams.

Byrne had to schedule 3 cup cakes in 2002 for Nebraska to get 7 wins that year. Utah State, McNeese State and Troy State, and Nebraska would have lost to Troy if it wasn't for Dejuan Groce. Although I am not much of a fan of playing d1AA opponents, i think limiting the gimme games from 3 to 1 is fine by me.

 
Maine  - come on, what in the hell is pedey boy thinking. We might be better off with a home date compared to a road trip financialy but what does playing maine do for recruiting. Have we ever had a player from maine on our team. It looks like stevie wonder learned his scheduling ability from an on line course from kansas state.  Does he think that our team is so bad that we need a confidence boost. If so why not ask to play the winner of the army east/west allstar game.
I had a friend from mich. call and ask me what happened to the mighty Huskers and if we now have to play sub-par opponents in order to be bowl eligible. Is beating a school like maine something to be proud of.

I know that there are times when you have to fill a spot but come on MAINE. Lets get out the friggen hockey sticks. Are we going to ask new hampshire or montanna to play us in 2006.

I want the Huskers to be winners but not against teams like this. Playing teams of this caliber will do nothing for us but give the pollsters something else to look down on us for.

Under pedeys leadership, the next championship we win will be NAIA

You talk like playing sub-par teams is a new thing. Central Florida ring a bell in 97-98? Akron in 97-98? North Texas in 93-94? Do I need to go on? Be realistic.

UCF was kicking NU's arse. Luckily for NU they were in better shape and pulled out hte win in the 2nd half.

By the way...the 'tradition' of giving hte opposing team a standing O after the game started at that game.

 
This gives me hope on playing my school in the future. I can see the headlines in Lincoln now: The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers vs The South Dakota State University Jackrabbits.

It would be the first meeting since the early 1900's!! :thumbs

Yes the changing of the Houston game was another bad move by glorious leader AD Peterson. :up :steam
