Nebraska v. Illinois 2021 Ireland!

[Blue Howl]

Nice looking stadium. Holds 51.7K.

Why?

Why not? Just a thought but another recruiting tidbit for kids who have never been anywhere. Besides great exposure for the team.

 

[wcbsas]

Beginning my training regimen of Guinness, Jameson & Season 2 of Derry Girls.

I'm hoping the Corrs will be playing around there sometime. So my future wife Andrea Corr and I can meet!.

You know, as much as I dislike the playing overseas nonsense, I just might take a hard look at this. Haven't been to Ireland so this could be alot of fun. Maybe our Family Football Weekend.

Spent 8 years in the 70s and 80s in the UK with the USAF. I think this is just great. What better than to see a bunch of kids running around with Husker gear on supporting NU to go along with all the Liverpool, Manchester United, etc, etc gear along with Notre Dame stuff. Yes, you see ND stuff quite a bit, the religion card you know.

Smoker's tailgate in Dublin. Invite Nessie. (Actually Scotland)

I think the last overseas game was Tokyo ...... Huskers vs ??? (too lazy to search)

update: Huskers vs KSU, 1992

Each team was guaranteed $200,000 (minus the approximate $9,000 spent on passports). Entourages from both schools left on the same plane the Tuesday before the game for the 13-hour flight. They also shared the same return flight.

About 500 Nebraska fans attended game

Illini and Huskers will share plane?

 

[joncarl]

If they pull out green uniforms I will jump off a bridge.

 

[TFrazier]

If Nebraska struggles to focus and play hard for an important game in Minneapolis...what in the world is going to happen when they travel to play in Ireland?

 

[Ackos]

As much as i hate traveling, this is interesting...

 

[CornhuskerinWI]

Why would someone complain about this?

Aww Come On! The packing, the security lines, sardine-like accommodations on the plane, the 9+ hours wondering whether it’s gonna crash, spending your retirement $$ rushing around on boring bus tours, and, god forbid we lose. Oh yeah, then do all of that stuff again returning home. What’s not to like?

This should help us greatly with our Dublin recruiting.

You know, there is probably some serious athletes over there truth be told. It’s just raw as far as American sports go.

watching the Rugby World cup, saw the Irish destroy Samoa on Saturday (47-5) ... so, who knows, perhaps start a transatlantic pipeline
