Any person who has read this site for very long knows that the Big Red Network staff is pretty intrigued with the relative importance of games and the upcoming Nebraska schedule. We have evaluated it many times. Making this such...
Not All Games Are Created Equal

One of my least favorite pieces of "coach speak" is that all games are equal and treated the same. On some levels, that's just baloney. Not all games are created equal. Playing Oklahoma in Norman is not the same as...

It's officially summer. That's great news if you love to play golf or enjoy watching major league baseball. I'm a lousy golfer and I think MLB games are way too long. So, I tend to just obsess about Nebraska football...

On this site, I have written often that a return to dominance (even respectability) starts first with a return to relevance. Die hard fans like the ones who read this site may crave Husker football year round and follow the...

I've said before that Bo Pelini is arriving at NU in a season where the schedule sets up very well for him. But, in the wake of watching 10 of NU's 12 2007 opponents play in bowl games (ten!), I...

Changes to the 2008 football schedule may have made Bo Pelini's inaugural season as the Cornhusker head coach just a little bit easier. NU will still play all of the same teams. But, changes to when NU has its bye...

For those of you who are married or with significant others, you may have had to learn the hard way that if you don’t stay on top of your calendar (and the Husker schedule) your spouse could well make...

You're at work filling out your TPS report when your boss calls. He wants to know if you can go ahead and come in on September 15th. M'kay? The fifteenth. The fifteenth. You know something is going on that...

The Big 12 just announced that some games this season will be carried by VERSUS (f.k.a. OLN). This raises an obvious question: Do I even get the VERSUS channel? Well, we did the leg work for you. Read on...

It's the off season. What is there to do? For football junkies, one of the best mental exercises is to evaluate the fall schedule...four months in advance. While early high-profile tests will surely get fans' attention, and football seasons tends...

Nebraska's schedule in 2007 will be no cakewalk. Sure, there are some games in which Nebraska will come in a heavy favorite, but there's no "North Texas" on the slate like there was in 1993. For the most part,...

It's hard to watch the Huskers come together in the spring and not let your mind wander to the fall. How many games will they win? Which games? Without getting into that kind of prognostication yet, you can get...
Aggies A Good Addition to 2008 Schedule
Unless it's the first game of the season in 2008, you won't hear many people saying, "I can't wait until the New Mexico State game". The Aggies inspire about as much excitement as Troy did a year ago. Nevertheless,...

These 12-team "super conferences" are - pardon the language - a bitch. Sure, you get the bowl-like revenues generated by a championship game. But, it also makes the schedules very rigorous. For instance, look at the suddenly average-looking ACC, with...

I was really excited to learn the Huskers would be playing a home and home series with Tennessee…until I saw the date. The Volunteers will visit Lincoln on September 10, 2016 and the Huskers will travel to Knoxville on September...

Scheduling can be a lot like musical chairs. When the music stops, are you locked in, or are you the only one left standing? Avoiding being left out requires a lot strategy and some good luck. Recently there was...
Husker Hokie Pokie
Those people who still want to snipe at Steve Pederson for "ducking" Houston a few years ago just got a big dose of "shut the hell up", in the form of NU's 2008 and 2009 schedules. As you likely...
New Recruiting Trend: Neutral Sites
Somebody let Steve Pederson know that Notre Dame has an open date in 2009 (and 2010, 2011 & 2012). The only catch is that we'd have to play in Jacksonville....
