Huskers to Play Illinois in Ireland in ... 2022?

[Swiv3D]

Still such an odd choice given the (Illini) fan base.  It certainly won't hurt the Illini to have a game be put on a stage like the Ireland game will be but such a strange pick for an opponent at the same time.  Oh well.  Not complaining just find the choice as an odd one if even from a from a television ratings perspective.

They probably figure the home game would be mostly our fans anyways so might as well make it fun

Wondering how this post will age..... Either way don't really understand the purpose.

It was sarcasm.  Settle down

This is great! I can get drunk in an Irish pub after we lose. To Illinois! Illinois!

Hope there is no Dredge in Ireland.

i like the idea. Get people talking about NU early. Helps with recruiting.

Based on current circumstances...a 50/50 shot at winning

Unless we kill the sellout streak first :thumbs

Not sure what the sellout streak has to do with us winning a game played in Ireland?

He started a thread "Let It Die" and it basically says we need to get rid of the sellout streak to get rid of the football teams demons. So, I was giving him grief about it.

Didn't realize UM started that thread... your response makes sense now. Thought maybe you yourself might have had that questionable mentality. So, nothing to see here, I'll move along.

K-State in 1992

Yep, I remember reading Bill Snyder wanted K-State sitting on one side of the plane for a "competitive advantage" as both teams traveled together.

I’m assuming that since you can’t order tickets now that those sales are coming off of the packages?

NU isn't going to give up home games - so an away game was the only option.  Can't see one of the top 4 or 5 schools in the BIG giving up home field advantage against NU.  Guessing Illinois will get paid well and NU Athletics will mostly break even - with this working out best for NU traveling fans.

So y'all are using Anthony Travel too aye?  Some Domers complain that A.T. holds the major hotels hostage to nudge fans into buying overpriced packages.  But I'd be surprised if they got a hold of all available tickets.
