Considering that roughly 90 teams would be "tough" for Nebraska these days, I think you have to schedule tough teams. There wouldn't be a lot to choose from otherwise. Those lower level cupcakes are being scheduled by other teams too.

Play non-conference but not FBS schools

Joe Nigro

Need to be tested before big 10 begins. Should not be afraid of anyone.

The NFL has a pre season and nebraska should look at it like that. Get the players ready for the season. Conference play. Its a good way to build depth and get experience. They play toigh enough teams in the Big10 not to have to play them outside of the Conference.

Roy makes a valid point below. I also want to add that until the SEC goes to 9 conference games AND the selection committee starts putting more weight into the strength of schedule, we should keep scheduling cupcakes for non-conference games.

Nebraska needs time to develop game ready players before heading into the big ten.

I feel it ease worries a LITTLE bit. I think he has already talked to his friend Pat, AD at Penn State, and was told that Penn State Alumni want someone more proven than Rhule. So, Rhule is way down the list.

I think Rhule wants to finish what he started

No, it means nothing, he is gone or he woulda squashed it and said he was taking his name out of consideration and he didn’t.

Scott Reed

What else would he say...It really sucks here??? He hasn't said, "I'm not interested in the Penn State Job".

Empty - worthless. Full - revenue. This is a no brainer.

John Shelkop

Memorial Stadium is one of the greatest venues in sports. Why shouldn't the folks in Lincoln, Omaha, and all of Nebraska get the opportunity to be entertained by any show worthy of a stadium sized audience? So much CHA-CHING!

Echo Kinsella

These are fun talented guys and should be seen.

Marcus Orillious

Let’s go!!!

I saw a Larry the Cable Guy show in Memorial Stadium. Didn't have anything to do with "sports"

I hope this is a joke. Nothing to do with sports.
