2014-15 Husker opponents

[Silverbacked1]

Holy crap the OSU doesn't play anybody in the preseason except for about two games.

I thought the same thing. They've got bigger names, we've got more depth, I think.

Yeah North Carolina, Marquette and Louisville are hugh, but High Point, UMASS-Lowell and UNC A&T kind of bring it. download some.

LESS THAN AN HOUR AWAY!

 

Looks like we figured out that opener

 

[Natural9]

Why do I have a feeling that the opener is going to be a disappointment?  Seems like we may have heard about it already if it was worth a darn.

[Natural9]

Lee B. tweeted out a hint that Northern KY is on the schedule.  That'd be a disappointing opener.

[hhcmatt]

LEEBO is pre-dropping names

 

[hhcmatt]

[Natural9]

We knew the Big 10 opponents, including double-plays.  Think there's just 2 OOC games we didn't know about.  One of them appears to be Northern KY.  Just one more opponent to find out.

Looks like a pretty balanced schedule to me.

[Marv]

Best part of Diamond Head Classic is no non-conference games with the Students on break.

New Years Eve game against IU is disappointing. Hate facing good opponents without the students.

Indiana, Rutgers and Illinois are 2014-15 games without student section.

[HuskerCager]

5 of 7 games at home to start the conference season.  I actually like getting road games out of the way, but whatever.

And we finish the season at home on Sunday against our traditional archrival - the Maryland Terripans.?

[HuskerCager]

Hate facing good opponents without the students.  Indiana, Rutgers and Illinois are 2014-15 games without student section.

I agree, it doesn't help, but this won't be like 3 or 4 years ago where you see 90% of the bench seats sitting empty.

[uneblinstu]

February is going to be brutal...

[uneblinstu]

At first glance, I see us in the 10-8 to 12-6 range.

[uneblinstu]

Five of first seven at home should lend to a fast start, MSU is in there, plus trips to Iowa and Wisconsin. This is gonna be fun.

Huskers.com is up to date

Where is the N. KY ballgame on the schedule?  Is that the rumor for "TBA" on Nov. 16 opener?

Fun Fact: Eshaunte Jones transferred here.

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

Ugh...the Big 10 and Sunday games...

Hate games on Sundays.

I guess we'll never see BYU as a member of the B1G then, eh?

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

Haha, true!

[HuskerCager]

Wow, we are into September and that home opener isn't officially decided, as far as I know.  Rumor was that N. Kentucky was the potential opponent, right?  Wonder what happens if that falls through.

Sure would be interesting to find out what schools they have contacted so far that have turned us down. After going 15 - 1 at home last year with pretty much a sold out crowd each game I can see why good teams are hesitant to play at the Vault.

[AuroranHusker]

Today, Northern Kentucky was officially named as the opponent for the home opener on Sunday, November 16th. So, the "Norse" will be invading Lincoln the day after the Nebraska football team plays at Wisconsin...
