We just scheduled Oregon

[StPaulHusker]

Is there any chance that one of the two games with Oregon gets moved to some big huge neutral site? It seems popular.

May Day Stadium. 150,000 seats

Dennis Rodman with the ceremonial coin flip?

Well, let's see. We play basketball games on aircraft carriers. We're gonna play football games in racetracks. Why not go with a theme sight, for instance, for our home game, we'll play on a giant moving hayrack ride pulled by tractors provided by the highest bidder, in the middle of a cornfield. And, then, when we go to Oregon, we play on a giant field propped up in the middle of a pond (ducks in a pond, get it?). How you think that would go.

I heard Nike slave factory is across the street from May Day Stadium

Very cool. Wonder how much of a hand Scott Frost had in brokering this deal?

Probably none at all.

And why would he?  He is an OC not an assistant AD.

Just making a joke guys.

Tennessee moved our game back because they just signed a deal to play VT at the Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016. Room for 150,000 and it will probably sell out.

What a cool idea.

It's a neat idea but fans will need a good pair of binoculars.

You mean like our new seats on the Eastern side?

 

[JJ Husker]

Yeah, lol.

Maybe my son will be playing for Nebraska by then. As a junior. He's EIGHT.

Youre lettin your son play this horrible, violent sport? What a horrible parent.

By 2026 football will be much different. Players will sport feather boas and sing show tunes. Contact, any contact, will be forbidden and any infraction of the contact rule will result in lifetime ban from life.

 

[Scratchtown]

good luck.

I got the chance to sit up there for the Southern Miss game and thought the view was pretty good. A lot better than at the top of the endzones.

There's going to be a lot of distance at Bristol between the football field (I'm assuming they're going to stick it in the middle of the infield) and where the stands start. People will go for the experience of being there but it's not a good place to watch a football game.

Also, hats off to our AD for getting Oregon on the schedule on (relatively) short notice. That's going to be an exciting twofer.

Oregon just scored. Looks like a 7-0 game at kickoff.

 

[grandpasknee]

Bring it on! Beat the best, be the best!

 

[okaive]

I am probably mistaken, but I thought that the BIG was starting to play only D1 schools at the start of 2016

 

[CheeseHusker]

To be the best, you have to beat the best. Assuming nothing earth-shattering to Oregon between now and then, it will obviously be a challenge. But one we should relish.

I could see this as a carrot in recruiting.
