I'm glad that we are playing better teams out of conference. And it doesn't get any easier as the following years come. Next season and the season after we have Virginia Tech, then Washington in 2010 and 2011, UCLA in 2012 and 2013, and in 2016 and 2017 we have Tennessee.

I can't wait for 2098 when we play Alien University. I don't give much value to teams scheduled 10 years in advance. Look where USC (before Carroll) and Oklahoma (before Stoops) were not too long ago. Nebraska and/or Tennesse could be sub-500 teams by then.

Best thing about Tennessee is its a home-home series for us.

True, I'm really excited about playing VT next year. That should be a great game.

are you serious, Virginia tech is the only decent team on our non-conference schedule for the next few years, plus VTech hasn't even been that good lately

I was thinking the same thing. Not a lot of competition in the next few years, but its hard to constantly fill in the schedule with quality teams every year. Got to love the 2008 schedule though, only 4 road games all year.

 

[Hawkeyehusker]

It's definately a tough schedule, but the team will be better because of it. Winning a few games against quality bowl teams from last season will help build confidence and the team will perform better at the end of the season because of it.

VT, Washington, UCLA, and Tennesse are definetly better than playing Troy, Nicholls State, Maine, Western Illinois.

 

[strigori]

I dont get all the disrespect for VaTech. Sense 2002, they have 1 season(8-5 in 2003) where they did not win 10 games or more. Sure, they are not USC, but who is? But VaTech is someone to watch out for. If NU doesnt give 100%, we will get beat.

Nebraska has traditionally scheduled cupcakes in the nonconference and usually 1 big name. USC, Notre Dame, Cal, Iowa, Penn St, Pitt, etc. Ball St. is actually worse than Troy, Troy was a bowl team a year ago.

 

[Touchdown Tommie]

Either way you look at it we are playing big name programs on probably a national stage....this will all help with recruiting the big guns. I think it is fantastic to play V-Tech that way NU football is shown out there and the recruits can see it first hand. That goes for Tennessee as well.

at least marcus vick wont be there to stomp on the legs of one of our players that sacked his a$$

that is one hard game a year, plus VT hasn't been that good lately, plus who knows what is going to happen in 3 years when we play washington, both teams could have lost all of their games and be in total disaray, it is to far in advance to say that is a really good game. Just looked when we scheduled USC they were barely 500 and we were coming off 3 NCs in 4 years, I bet they didn't think they would be the best program this decade and preseason # 1 and we were coming off of a losing season only three years ago.

I'm not saying any of those teams will be good by the time we play them. I'm just saying it looks better to be playing VT or UCLA or Tennessee than saying we are playing Maine this week, or Nicholls State. Just the name recoginition is better.
