Spring Game Will Be Televised

By this point, most people that planned on going aren't going to all of a sudden decide not to go because it's on NFL network. None of the cable providers (to my knowledge) in Nebraska show NFL Network, you have to have a dish. I don't think this will have as big of an impact as, say, having it on ESPN. Then I would agree that some people would stay home.

Plus, the weather looks like it is going to be fairly nice now. Highs in the 50's with NO rain. Hopefully that holds up, that will be the deciding factor in attendance. Nice day = BIG crowd

Cox does.
 
NICE RECRUITING TOOL!

And I was thinking about switching back to cable..

Not showing up on NFL Networks site yet..At least not here..Is it regional or do they only have one region?

 
Even if the attendance is slightly lower, i think it will still impress recruits that our spring game is nationally televised. :bonez

This is AWESOME news. Obviously it's not as good as being on a heavily viewed network like ESPN, but the fact that I get to watch even a little bit of it brightens an otherwise crappy Minnesota day. While it's not surprising, it still pisses me off that ESPN will televise OU's spring game live, but then instead of doing the same for us, they choose to put women's billiards on. I really hate that network.

Gee, I wonder why they would do that? :clap

Cox, DirecTV and Dish all carry the NFL network. The game is going to be tape delayed till 8PM anyways. I am going to the game and am also going to dvr the game.

As the week moves along, the forecast gets better and better. Apparently it is now supposed to be close to 60 and sunny on saturday. Who knows, it's not saturday yet and this is still Nebraska.
