Nebraska Friday night, September 20th, against Illinois

Really screws up tailgating

This is inconvenient for the fans, but I'm sure the university wants to do it because the game will basically get the national stage on that Friday (as opposed to being one of several dozen games on Saturday that gets ignored by everyone but the fans of the teams playing).

According to an article I read, 12 of the teams in the 18-team Big Ten will be playing on a Friday. These teams include Washington, Oregon, USC and UCLA. In fact, I believe that UCLA is playing on a Friday twice. So the fact that Nebraska is scheduled to play on a Friday shouldn't be viewed as some sort of slight.

You don't just get Saturday night games in prime time.

People have to adjust, and they will. Personally as terrible as we've been I'm much more concerned with seeing the on the field product rather than tailgating. I'd schedule games on Tuesdays if I knew we would play great.

We aren't entitled anymore

Oregon is really upset I'm sure. And their fan base probably won't like the uniforms they wear.

Good grief

I’m still kinda shocked. I had to reread it twice to make sure I saw it right. These are the types of decisions that makes me wonder about the intelligence of the administration.

I remember how we said there will never be a Friday night game in Lincoln! This didn't age well! Big hit for the Saturday business bump for Lincoln businesses

Not cool. Not sure the last time I missed a home opener.

It's not the home opener

 

[phillycheez402]

Once again, I'm sure Oregon (top 5 program) is really mad at what day they play

 

[phillycheez402]

Fans have over 4 months to adjust plans

I stand corrected. thank you.

I emailed the AD and asked for a refund for my 4 tickets for that game.

From what I read this is sellout game 400 so they are going to make it a big deal, probably why the move.

The scheduling demanded it. We play idk how many homecoming away games, like four. New Big rule, team gets to call when they play homecoming, so it had to be a home game.

I agree, let's play every game on a Friday.

Unfortunately, this decision is not about the fans that attend home games.

Throw a couple Mondays in there
