Nebraska 2018 Season Thread

End of the sellout streak?

Season ticket buyers may lose the tax benefit* tied to the donations required for most seats.

seems that the general tone in the media and radio in Nebraska, from what I'm being told, has changed on Frost.  A lot more of "what if he doesn't come home".   Seems this past week, people are suggesting a lot more openly Frost is not interested.

Not a breaking-news guy, but hearing a lot of heavy breathing on Nebraska coaching front: Scott Frost to NU for 7 years, $35 mil is "close."

Hope it happens and I hope that Frost is the real deal. I still think he's a bit of a gamble and not that proven. I just want to see Nebraska get back. It's good for the conference and the sport. Nebraska at a high level competing with Wisconsin in the West will just bring the B1G up an entire notch.

UCF will host SFU next week, and the winner will represent the East Division in the American Ccg the following week.

Were I a Nebraska fan, I might just be pulling for the Bulls to knock off the Knights. Bring him on in the next day.

Athletic Director Bill Moos believes Nebraska needs a rival, and he wants it to be Iowa. 

On the nightly radio show on the Husker Sports Network Monday evening, Moos said he has already met with the Big Ten to try and make Iowa the permanent Black Friday opponent. 

Nebraska has played in 28 straight Black Friday games, but is currently scheduled to stop by 2020.

"I'm going to really push, to establish Iowa as being our rival," Moos said on air. "We came into the Big Ten and we need a rivalry game, and I've already been to the Big Ten and talked to them about that so hopefully we can keep that Black Friday game and have that be Iowa each year."

With all of the changes to the Big Ten over the past decade, the one new tradition I liked was Iowa-Nebraska on Black Friday.  Please lock that back in.

memo to Big Jim and Kirk

hopefully the game on Friday afternoon is a good one and not another poor showing by Riley's Huskers

forecast says 59 degrees - might be on the golf course instead of sitting at the TV

the Penn St. game was much less painful on the radio

Thinking about Sooners and Huskers in 2021-22.  I want to get to Lincoln in 2022.

This was in the Tulsa paper today about the great Thanksgiving-ish games between the two programs.

I was in high school from 70-73, so am old enough to remember watching the Game of the Century on TV, and my last game attended with my dad before he died was the 2009 slugfest that we won 10-3.  So many great memories sandwiched in between those years.  I am so looking forward to 2022 and I guess I'd better start saving up money to buy a ticket to that one.  I really miss that rivalry. It just doesn't seem like Thanksgiving without it.

Totally agree, I like the Nebraska BF game a lot and think Iowa is the natural fit for it.
I hope they go back to PSU/MSU at 3:30 following OSU/UM at noon.  Just seems like the right way to finish up the regular season in the east.
They need to stop force feeding us something that's not there and never will be with PSU/Maryland.

I selfishly agree.  Is it a real rivalry?  No.  But both of our preferred rivals are spoken for, and it's been 25 years now, so it feels right, even if it's not really a rivalry, and the trophy is garbage.

The trophy alone is why they should do it.
