The radio heads keep talking about “if we win this week, Will game day come here for the Ohio State game?” Having that kind of exposure is usually a really good thing, especially with it being a big recruiting weekend, but I don’t think our O is anywhere near where it needs to be to make a game of it. I don’t what Game Day here only to go out and get our doors blown off.

No chance.

Had NU defeated Colorado, there would be a possibility, but that is gone.

If NU wins out, and Wisconsin is highly ranked at the time, maybe Game Day will be in Lincoln for that game. So don’t count on it this year. That ship sailed from Boulder.

Take a look at the slate of games next week. Still a very real possibility.

It is probably more unlikely than it would have been if we had beat CU. 4-0 Ohio St vs 4-0 Neb both ranked would have been a tough one to pass up. Now it is looking like #10 Utah vs #19 Washington St is it. Or #7 ND vs #21 Virginia. Unless 2 of those 4 lose this weekend. We are probably 3rd on the list of options.

They are already doing Game Day from Athens this week, having Notre Dame 2 weeks in a row would be meh. Especially a Notre Dame team that may well be coming off a loss to Georgia.

I hope not. This game could look similar to the last time Game Day visited. After playing 4 weeks of weaklings, our players will be shellshocked lining up against OSU.

We were supposed to get thumped by them last season too...

There is a reason we play the games..

I know Game Day is kind of a big deal, but I can just hardly watch it anymore. I like Pollack, Kirk is okay, Desmond is brutal and it boarders on elder abuse that they trot Lee out there still.
I usually just flip around from the SEC, ACC and Big Ten networks to get good pre-game info.

I agree. Lee Corso is just plain sad and I can't stand Desmond. I think it might spice it up if they brought on Pat Mcafee. That guy is awesome and it might be a decent show with Pollack, Mcafee, Kirk and Rece.

Fair point. I’m guessing they were assuming they would roll us like Michigan did. They likely will take the game more seriously this time. Will be interesting...

We are not ready for game day by a long shot. Ohio State will take us to the woodshed. It’s gonna be ugly. I will be ecstatic if I’m wrong.

3 hours is just way too long for that type of program. I can't remember if it was 1 hour at one point or if it was always 2, but even 2 hours seemed too long at times.

You guys missed your calling. The Program Directors At ESPN make serious bank. You should keep an eye out for openings.

**** you’re so right. You should apply for a program director position there. Next time there’s an opening, of course.

Arent Herbstreit and Fowler calling the game? They usually like to go to venues where their guys are calling the game

What makes me change the channel is the tear jerker segments with Tom Ronaldi... I'm watching football, not a Lifetime movie...

Agree, they are using him like a trained monkey. I wonder if he knows where he is half the time.

I know it isn't but this Neb team feels like it is playing worse than last year. Maybe it was all the off season hype that raised expectation. So far we haven't met those expectation so if feels like we are worse.
I really thought Ohio St would take a step back this year even just a little. So going into the year I really had high hopes for this game. As of right I just don't think we have the offensive fire power to beat them. Our D gives me a bit of optimism, but they really haven't been tested and the small test vs a crappy P5 CU team they tanked the 2nd half. I would bet when the lines come out next week we will be at min a 14 point dog.

Corso is tough to watch these days but for an older guy who suffered a stroke a decade ago, it's nice to see him still going.

The Headgear finish to each Gameday gets me amped up every week. Corso's part alone and the years of history with his weekly predictions will be missed the day he finally steps down.

The show has probably had more impact on college football, fans and tailgating than anything else over the last what, 25 years?

When it was only 30 minutes it was too short...it might be too long now but really who really cares...it is still about a topic that we all love.

I find it funny when people ***** about how lame it is but then hope and pray that they come to Lincoln for a game.

I'm amazed (but not surprised) that so many of you would rather NOT host Gameday because you think we're going to get killed. What a bunch of wimps. You all need a pep talk from Bluto.

That CU loss was awful and very telling. It can’t be overstated how bad of a team CU really is. We can beat lower level teams, but I have little faith in this team against better competition. Again, hope they improve every week and prove me wrong.

Yeah me too.... and I can hardly contain myself when those kids rip the mask off the villain at the end of those Scooby Doo episodes. GD is turning into a cartoon and Corso needs to be put out to pasture.

So tough guy, if we are wimps, give us the most recent team of significance that the Huskers have beaten. Please include the year this occurred and the final season record of the outstanding team that the Huskers beat. Feel free to include multiple teams if you can find them.
