Love it.

 

Haven't seen anything for tickets yet, though. Did I miss a mailing?

We haven’t gotten anything yet either.

Breaking: Aaron Wiggins is keeping his name in the 2021 NBA draft and will forgo his remaining eligibility at Maryland, he told ESPN. Wiggins has elevated his standing in the eyes of NBA teams with a strong pre-draft process thus far. https://t.co/Pixp2ftZDV

CORNHUSKERS is the presale code I got.  Sadly won't make it to Atlanta.  Would be a fun trip.

Do we know when this might happen?

[Chuck Taylor]

Now that we have a competitive team, I'm expecting all road games.

NU-Auburn will tip at 10:30 am Central Dec. 11 on ESPN2. 

 

It's not quite big ESPN but it's not the "U" or the "+" either. Progress!

That's a very challenging start of the schedule, especially once it resumes in January. I love it for this team, though. I like the Indiana and Michigan games in December. We'll find out a lot about this team in December. Can't wait!

Whenever I look at our schedules it always seems like the Big Ten schedulers never do Nebraska any favors. And then I think, well, it's the Big Ten. How's it going to be any easier?

 

While it's true that Penn State and Minnesota are both picked at or near the bottom of the league and we only get to play them once, it's also true that Purdue will be picked near the top and we only have to play them once. Same with Michigan State. Only play them once.

 

We get Northwestern twice and Iowa twice. And Rutgers twice. So that's pretty balanced, I guess.

 

It's a brutal first 10. It's an especially difficult finish given that three of our last 4 games are on the road. So if we need a couple of wins to solidify a spot on the bubble, the league certainly isn't making it easy for us to get those wins at the end. On the other hand, all five of those last five are against teams that are not likely to finish in the top third of the league and good chance they're all in the bottom half.

 

First 5 games, you probably hope to steal 1 win. Second 5, it'd be nice to grab 2 wins. Third 5, we better grab 4 wins (make hay while the sun shines.) Last 5, you probably want to win at least 3. That would get us to 10, and we'd probably need a couple of road wins to do it.

 

Let the games begin.

I don't see a conference win on that schedule until February.  Yikes.

We have a charity exhibition against Colorado on October 31, Halloween.

 

I was thinking about wearing a costume to the game but I wanted it to be Husker-related.

 

So, I think I've decided to go as a Nebraska baseball fan, but I'll need to borrow someone's Eric Crouch jersey.

 

Anyone set me up?

Sorry, I can't help you there.  How about a Tommie Frazier?  You'll have to be sure to tuck it into your jeans though.

That's not really the uniform, though.

 

But thanks!

Go as Barry Collier. That'd be a hoot. A real knee-slapper. No one will even know you're in costume, or that it's a Halloween get-up. But, what the hey, it'll be like Norm McDonald telling 1890s jokes at a roast for Bob Saget.

They forgot to mention that CBS and Turner Sports will broadcast the NCAA Tournament again this year, so that's another six games, as well as the three we'll play in the B1G Tournament.

I like the way you think.
