Breaking Nebraska trying to get out of Oklahoma game 2021 - Updated 12:24 with teams being contacted

Sucks, but I can see why you would want to make the move.

You replace OU with Old Dominon or Ohio you now likely have a good shot at being 4-0 going into the meat of your schedule. That momentum would be very valuable.
You replace a road game with a home one. $ for the university. $ for the local economy.

Bad thing is the optics behind cancelling this.

You are basically trading a win in the fall for a loss in March.

I understand, but I'm not for it. As bad as I want back in the Big 12, especially after last year, I was very much looking forward to it. My opinion means nothing. But I have been willing to fork out some good money for tickets during Frost's tenure, but I won't be doing that if they go through with this.

Come on man....its year FUCKING 4 for Frost. Are we really stooping to possibly playing ODU who didn't even play last year and was 1-11 the year before that?

Ditching a good historic opponent to protect our head coach? If that is the case, then there are so many issues with this program I couldn't even begin to comprehend.

It's a pathetic move and cannot be justified other than protecting Frost.

I think you need to relax.

You're certainly right, but this is last straw territory for me

Basically what I said.

Why wait that long Nancy?

Not saying I like it. I am just saying I can see why.

The optimal situation is winning vs OU or at least being competitive.

Self-quarantine, babe.

You shouldn't see why. No one should. There is no legitimate answer.

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Self-quarantine, babe.

Haha you as well?

No symptoms but my sister in law exposed herself to me.

Due to travel...I'm gucci on the exposure side.

How was the view?

I'm guessing you're not alone.

Nothing but love 😉

Well somebody said $1 mil buyout for getting out of the OU game and then you would pay a MAC school to come here. So $2 mil. Don't know if moving it negates the buyout or not.

If they do this they need to start 4-0 for it to make sense. I just don't trust them in beating teams they should.

Your first name is Faux...not sure you should be talking 'trust' to anyone.

...and you're not wrong.

Can we just get Edward Norton to put HUSKER football's mouth on the curb and put us out of our misery, my GOD!!!! (sorry if this offends anyone)

We DO NOT NEED THE MONEY

I understand the bars and businesses around the stadium struggled.....AS DID EVERYONE. Why not have an EVENT.......oh I dont know.....LIKE THE FUCKING SPRING GAME to compensate. We have the standard 7 home games on the schedule, granted its back heavy, but FUCK. This is ridiculous. I WAS looking forward to this series all the while knowing we are not in the same class as OKLA and they will most likely send us packing in the first half....WHO CARES....renewed rivalry....50th anniversary.....there is a lot to love about this.

TBH...We are probably the WORST P5 team optically over the past 6 seasons. I am in disbelief we can muster up top 20 recruiting classes every year.

I thought I saw an article last year or the year before that the total gross income of a home game is only like 800k or so...I may be wrong but that seems stupid given this info.

If this game doesn’t happen and we start 4-0, this will all be an afterthought.

I sell my product to the hospitality industry and I’ll tell you there are three locations downtown/hay market that are trying their best to make it through to football season before they make a call to pull the plug or not.

That 6-0 start sure helped Riley from getting fired the following year

I mean... the idea that his staff and team were terrible and it was legitimately dangerous for us to play big ten teams due to how out of shape they were probably didn’t have anything to do with it.

Frost has a physically better roster. They need to mentally get over the fucking hump and start winning.
