I am all for paying to watch. Not sure 200 stones is in the budget for this Nebraska-bred now in Indiana kid if most are free though. If they can get $20/game that seem acceptable.

Dennis Paulsen

We are Nebraska and Husker Football is part of our identity. Letting Husker football suffer, is letting COVID 19 win.

Carolyn Ingels Schroeder

$200 is a small price to pay to keep the Huskers rolling along.

Scott Dreas

I'm in but how would that work ABC, ESPN, and BTN, aren't all games already televised? Wouldn't the networks have to give up games for PPV?

Mike Petersen

I'm in but not at this price. Each B10 team would have 4 games televised on Big 10 Network and these would all be PPV at $15 each. The remaining games on other networks would be free as usual.

Matt Seiler

I'm in but only as a last ditch effort. I believe they can seat more than 20k in the stands. Let the rich help them out instead of grabbing into the pockets of the middle class who need this outlet

Dale Meyer

I live in London!

John Something

Just because NU football is my one only escape every year. Definitely willing to fork it up to watch Big Red. GBR!!

Robert Flanagan

I would do it if for no other reason than nebraska and it's football program cannot afford a lack of a season and if this would hlep then I say I'm ALL FOR IT !!

Doug Miller

I'm in with a big IF. As a remote Husker who "cut the cord" years ago it's, at times, difficult to see the games. So yes, but... they had better put a better product on the field.

I'm already paying the price of a season ticket plus donation fee. If I am unable to attend the game or games why would I pay an additional amount when I could watch it free on TV? This makes no sense

Gale Cogswell

I won't watch the games. I am tired of the Huskers.

S Heese

As much as I would love to see football this fall, I can't ethically wrap my head around this. The economy is collapsing, people are out of jobs and money is desperately needed in more important areas

John Thompson

I have a Radio.. it's a SCAM-DEMIC.. play the games let fans make the choice.

Doug Miller

I have difficulties getting the radio broadcast as I live in Charlotte. I still have to pay one way or another.

Douglas Norman

It's not that big of a deal to me whether or not football is played TBH. There are much more things that I can find to on Saturdays.

Doug Miller

I'm very much afraid I wouldn't miss it, Yuck

Ron Joseph

I will just go to the Oklahoma Cornhusker Club watch party in Tulsa and watch it there!! GBR

When the administrations bring their spending under control instead of using the meglamillions package they get, then maybe. Not wanting anarchy, but common sense to enter the picture.

Qb. Oline. Offense could be very good. Back 7 on d should be good Concerns at rb depth and unknowns on interiour d line.

Terrence Smith

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

Chester Ogborn

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Joe Nigro

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

George mcdaniel

It had to do with mindset confidence and luck

Matt

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Chad Alexander

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

Charlie Knapper

Haven't proven anything, yet.

Brad Mcbride

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

Chin Sin Chong

No on field results to support that yet. History told us talks are simply empty statements

Roy Katskee

NU has not demonstrated that they belong.

Melvyn Halfon

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

Kevin Hubbell

Let's not put the cart before the horse! 7 or 8 wins maybe.

Joe Hegarty

That's crazy alright. Just hope they make a bowl game again.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Bill Petty

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

Eric Picquet

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Mike O

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Bob Flanagan

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

Richard Johnson

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

Greg Engel

I just can’t let myself get my hopes up too high. I am hopeful for a good season, though

Dan Larsen

Let's consider a few "bigger" bowl game victories first.... way to early!

Steve Slezak

Too soon
