NEBRASKA vs ILLINOIS THREAD - Conference Opening Game - 3/23/12
I will be going out on Friday night, but I will be able to be with you guys for a while.
Regular night out dancing with the missus. 
The game starts at 6:30 central, so I will have about 1 1/2 hours to help with the
pbp.
I'll be able to watch the game on BTN Live on the computer upstairs, while doing
the pbp!

Huskers Picked Fourth by League Coaches
The Big Ten coaches have picked Nebraska to finish fourth out of the league's 11 teams in 2012. Three Husker juniors were also named to the 'Players to Watch List', including right-handled pitcher Travis Huber, right-handed pitcher Tom Lemke and first baseman/designated hitter Kash Kalkowski.
After winning a share of the of the Big Ten title last season for the first time since 1979, Michigan State was picked as the league favorite. The Spartans were followed by Purdue, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio State and Illinois, as only the top six teams were released by the conference office.
Come on, Huskers, prove them wrong!!     
Below is the huskers.com article on Friday's opener. See you all tomorrow, and....

I have company in town, but I may be able to help later on. Hope to see everyone tonight.
I really hate Penn State! (And I'm not that wild about Iowa either.)

Wife's birthday today so I doubt I will be anywhere near a computer

Hard pressed on my right. My center is yielding. Impossible to maneuver. Situation excellent. I am attacking.

Should be great evening for the game.
"I have never seen people with more class than I saw at Nebraska. The Nebraska fans, players, cheerleaders, band, officials, coaches, etc., gave me living testimony of what college football should be all about." - Bobby Bowden
"If one can't enjoy the ride, do a team of the week -- but even then you'll probably be disappointed." - beans

I'll be around for a while, as I said yesterday; but, I won't be able to stick around as long as I originally thought. I have to eat dinner, then get cleaned up for the dance.
I am dvr'ing game, so I'll be looking forward to it when I get home.
