A struggling, rebuilding program doesn't need to get piled on like this. Maybe it's good for NU long term, but I'm not convinced. If you care about the team's record and chance to win a division title this season, then you can't be happy with this. In what world does it makes sense for the West's 4th or 5th best team to draw the East's top two teams when there are only two crossovers.I am leaning towards this sentiment. To BE the best, you need to BEAT the best.
FRIGGING Gameday will be in Columbus....
The whole Dog and Pony Show.....
The DRAMA...the two schools that arguable brought back Big 10 football ...both renowned names to the sport...square off in a friendly grudge match. WHO WILL WIN!
And they will analyze it ad nauseum all the while praising Warren and the BiG.
HILARIOUS!
TBF....this is a win, win, win for Nebraska
Free hall pass year anyway
nobody expects us to do crap
we get the added publicity
It drives into future recruits and their parents brains that Nebraska is damn SERIOUS about college football
it seasons a very young team
we get to ACTUALLY PLAY his year
Annnnd the possibility of a surprise!
what’s there not to like?
For football, I’d agree. If we’re just talking about football, the Big 12 is where NU belongs. That’s the simple facts and there is 100 years of history to back it up.I hate this conference.
Yes, my comment was focused on football. No real grievance with academics or other sports.For football, I’d agree. If we’re just talking about football, the Big 12 is where NU belongs. That’s the simple facts and there is 100 years of history to back it up.
True. No bitching or complaining. Make yourself known by your deeds.I really don’t care if we play the Buckeyes first or last or all eight games....let’s just play ball
We need to work on ourselves and our identity as a program. Get back to being the most physical team on the field, week in, week out!
No fans also helps immensely.
That will be surreal. Help eliminate the home field advantage.No fans also helps immensely.

It's been like this since we joined the Big 10. I hate this conference.
Reminds me of my last year running track. I was set to run the mile against Steve Scott early in the season. I figured it was a good opportunity to improve on my 4:07 mile, you know, catch Steve before he gets in shape. They screwed up and put me in The wrong race, so I just watched the mile that day. Watched him easily run 3:53 and embarrass my friends.All things considered, might be best to get the Buckeyes right out of the gate and maybe they have some rust and we play over our heads a little.
Wonder what the point spread will be...GBR!!!
