2011 Big 10(+2) Schedule

[knapplc]

Did anyone else notice we don't play our final game the Friday after Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving in 2011 is 11/24. We play Iowa on 11/26.

That I do not like.

I like that schedule....If we go undefeated than we will have truly earned a National Title for that season...on top that our Non-conf schedule with Wash/Tenn/UCLA/Miami/Fresno State....we will truly be playing a champion style schedule

exactly what i was going to say....if nebraska goes undefeated, i think they'll stand a pretty good chance to win the nat. championship cause they'll be more than experienced. also, do you think nebraska will try to get out of some of these non-con games?

I might have to make a trip back from Korea for one of these games. Specifically that Ohio State game...

Though, I can't say that I'm not looking forward to getting a break from Ohio State and Wisconsin for a bit. I think everyone badly wanted a piece of us and they decided to give all the big boys a shot first.

How does the rotation work? Why do we play 3 teams in cross division 2 years in a row while maintaining PSU every year?

PSU is a "protected" cross-over rival who we will play every year. Then we play two other teams that rotate every two years. So after 2012, we lose tOSU and Wiscy and get two other teams from the other division.

I agree, hate to say it, but the friday game on national TV really put the Huskers on the map

I'm liking the schedule. To be the best gotta beat the best!

 

[admo]

Damn. That's sick. I love it!

So freaking tired of us playing KU, KSU, Colo , etc...

This sched is a breath of fresh air. Penn State every year? Delicious.

Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Iowa 4 the game after thanksgiving?!?!?!?!?!?! :WTH :bang :facepalm:

 

[drewbudd]

There is nothing stopping the Iowa game from being the day after Thanksgiving. It is only listed right now as that Saturday because there has been no television deal made to move it up one day.

REMAIN CALM! I'm sure there will be a push to make that game a day after Thanksgiving game every year.

Wow. There must have been some maneuvering on our part to get the easier conference schedule rotation for 2013 when we play non-con Wyoming, Southern Miss, and UCLA. Can you even imagine that non-con with that conference schedule?

Pretty elite strength of schedule there.
