Schedule To Be Released Tomorrow During FOX "Big Noon Kickoff Program"
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
Agreed. Also Iowa & Minny.
More like light years...and over 2 decades in the past. That was one of the most historic runs in college football...but “we just need to do that”
And it took a HoF coach 20 years to get to that level.
And idiots will ignore the relevance of other‘s comments and speak to them in a rude, condescending manner.
Just gonna put this here.......
I agree on Wisconsin, same for Iowa too. They barely beat us with a lot of the teams best talent gone this year. Manning should be a big piece of the puzzle we were missing last year. Very excited to see him play this year.

Big10 officials need a case of butt-hurt salve after the month they have had. They can go suck rocks at this point.
Who knows if Patrick's "source" had good info. I just thought it interesting given today's schedule announcements. It is what it is.
I agree with both, especially Iowa. Stanley was a 3-year starter, that's very tough to overcome. I expect them to take a step back this season. If we win 1 game this season I want it to be against Iowa.
I’m the same way...these iowa fans in Omaha have become unbearable!
You’re right. I should have stated that differently. Richard move on my part.
This scheduling is a system that needs to be fixed.
First, the only conference games that should matter to crown a division champion are the games within the division. That way, each team plays every other team. The winner of the most games within the division is the division champion. In case of a tie within the division, then and only then, would the crossover games (strength of schedule) come into play.
Second, the crossover games should be on a rotating schedule. I will give the Big XII credit on this one. The cross over games were selected by playing 3 teams as a set in a 2 years.
Each team in the northern division would play 3 teams from the south, 1 year at home and the next year away, in the 2 year segment. The following 2 years, each northern team would play the other 3 teams in the southern division, 1 year at home and the next away. This was always a fair way to do scheduling. (It was never handled by people that some could consider to be somewhat vindictive.)
This way of rotating worked very well with 6 teams in each division. I would take some more thought processing to figure out using 7 teams in each division. My math skills aren't working that well at the present time.
Using this process, yearly division and conference schedules could be easily figured out years in advance, except for exact date and time. I know it used to be some non-conference were figured out when the players who would actually play the games were in third, fourth, and fifth grades. You never knew how good a team would be that many years in advance. What could be more fair than that?
If anyone can improve on this, I'm open for suggestions.
Whoever out there has contact with the UNL/B1G brass, pass this along to them.
