They have us at home

Ron Bauer

They are and always have been a running team. Big "D" will really have to play their "A" game.

Michael Ervin

Huskers are building talent...they are largely on par with Wisconsin right now from a talent perspective...the Wisconsin game shows how well the coaches are developing the talent we have...win that...the Oregon game in 2017 can be the next barometer game

Oregon will give us view of where we are in terms of development for the first part of the season. However, not necessarily for the season itself because Oregon uses, or has used much more of a hurry up offense than we see in BIG. .

Sean Fluharty

Over the past decade or so, Oregon has been considered a national power still has the national perception of being an elite program. These are the types of schools we need to be able to defeat on a regular basis if we want to be considered elite again.

Jason Coorts

The tone will be set early for what the season will look like. Just like last year. The BYU game said it all for what the team looked like last year.

Valerie Gilmore

some say whisky, i say quack quack. seems like it would feel better early and get the mo Joe junk going on.

Danny Baker

Oregon for non-conference and Wisconsin for conference. Beat the top and your on your way.

the big programs will thrive while the rest survive, with no limit its all about Money then

Steve Walker

If open, rich schools like Ohio State and Texas would have 300 players on their rooster, which would impact the recruit pool. Of course those who don't play would end up in transfer portal. The scholarship limits helps all schools access to good players. Even with NIL, the scholarship limit helps

Seems fair for the number of kids that actually play in games.

Most players don't get to go pro. As a former college walkon, being an athlete and having the $ to pay for college and other things is a huge burden. There is too much as a full time student and athlete to work as well. Opening more scholarships give more kids as much opportunity as possible.

Baseball, hotdogs, popcorn, pretzels 🍺 beer

Clark Huenink

Fan friendly environment.

Scott Ferguson

All things in moderation. A cold beer and a hotdog are part of baseball fandom. And yes, revenue.

Kent Haynes

It's everywhere else, plus the revenue

I don't like what alcohol does to Husker fans.

Ralph J. Williams

Outcome is only negative.

Linda Ogren

NOT GOING TO ATTEND ANYMORE, YOU ARE ASKING FOR BIG TROUBLE

Roy VanPelt

Alcohol will ruin the family environment. I love my Huskers, but may have to give up our season tickets if they ever start selling beer at Memorial Stadium.

People sometimes are not responsible enough and over drink then get into a vehicle!

Roy Katskee

Underage college students have enough access to beer. Absolutely no need for it.
