Maybe a vote this weekend
- Thread starter NorthWillRiseAgain
- Start date
Game on play ball!
look for 10/10 or 10/17. Rumors out there maybe 1-2 OOC games 10/3 and 10/10 then conference starts 10/17.

Would love that to be the case, but fear it’s later. I do also not want to play a team that’s played a few games and then only have 2 weeks of preparation. Could look like Iowa State
Hope not. If HCSF and the boys have made this much noise they better be prepared (as well as all coaches) to really show up this year.
10/17 looks to be the date according to every report out there. We have to have our CCG on or before 12/19 to qualify for bowl games and playoffs.
Seems to me we have to start by 10/17 or it really is just glorified scrimmages. Nebraska needs the games to improve regardless, but teams like OSU Penn State and a couple of others are playing for so much more. If they have a November start that rules the BIG 10 teams as irrelevant on the national landscape.
They are voting today, part of me thinks they
have to feel like they have the votes or they wouldn't be voting today. The other thought is; this is their last chance to vote and start a season on time????
Not 100% true. We start 10/17 play 8 games and then the CCG. The CCG has to be completed by or on 12/19 for the CFB Playoffs and NC.
That's with no off-weeks during the season though. Doesn't seem like it would be fair to the players to not get a break somewhere along the line.
My question would be how are they going to get a non conference game or two when most schedules have been made..
Only way would be if the PAC 12 starts the same time and we don’t see that happening at the moment..
Need to take into consideration if a team or two test positive for COVID and can’t play that week there is bye week..
Will that be a forfeit then? NO WAY games could be rescheduled. No room for error now. Unlike the original plan
Where is this talk about non conference games coming from?
Or are they anticipating some teams won’t participate..
First and foremost we need to get a 60% vote for any chance of any teams playing this fall..

What I’ve seen, heard, and read from the paid board is the following:
- There wouldn’t be a vote to continue postponement (the vote is occurring to overturn the “original decision” even thought a vote never happened). They have all the votes they need to for sure play.
- The OOC games is coming from comments made by coaches that players will be ready in 2-3 weeks. If the conference starts on 10/17, that doesn’t mean NU couldn’t play sooner with OOC opponents (seen several posters mention this)
- The 10/17 starry date being “too late” and if that is what the BIG wants; teams might be able to play on 10/3, 10/10 etc with other opponents.
Thanks... Never thought about it but FCS schools would be willing to play like ND State and some others..
At this point I would prefer conference games only or find teams that haven't played either.
I used them as the first Example because they’re the best in the FCS..
But I do have relatives in Moorhead who have Bison season tickets..
Since it’s most likely all in conference, both teams should be fairly rusty, so it wouldn’t hurt as much to start earlier, I suppose. If they’d want one ooc game, I’d play that later.
right, I wasn’t even thinking of that at the time. Unless some teams want to add some later on. But that would be the only way.
But it doesn’t matter, it sounds like when we play again we will be playing ONLY BIG 10 teams anyways. Which is fine with me, I just want our Huskers playing football
