Nebraska - Virginia Tech TV Schedule Announced

by Jon Johnston on Sep 24, 2008 5:35 PM CDT in Nebraska Husker Football

The Virginia Tech/Nebraska game will move to 7:00 PM with kickoff at 7:15 and be televised on ABC on a split national basis opposite Illinois/Penn State.

We'll post a coverage map when it becomes available next week.

I suppose that the Hokies will be none too happy they're playing In Lincoln at night, but it doesn't enthrall me. I was looking forward to a 2:30 pm game to be honest. Another night game..... ah well, I guess that means more beer will be involved. I suppose that's not all bad.

Note - Corn Nation will be running a game day thread for the Virginia Tech - Nebraska game. You're welcome to join us whether you're a Husker or a Hokie. I don't have a problem with Hokie fans as long as we're all respectful of the game.

In fact, I'd love to have a few Hokies show up, it would be interesting to get the different perspectives on the game - as I stated, as long as we're all respectful.

Oh, hell. It’s ABC, not CBS. You’re right. I’ll look into this, you have satellite, right?

This is the first time....

that I am happy I am living here in the middle of Hokie country. Can’t tell you how good it will be to watch the Cornhuskers defeat Va Tech and wearing my red all over the Virginia landscape!!!!!!!!!

Feel free to leave the great state of VA if you are so unhappy here. I’m heading to Lincoln for the game this weekend and I will give you an honest comparison of NE vs. VA when I return.

Chill man

I don’t think Ducky22 is saying he/she hates living there, but probably doesn’t get that many opportunities to watch the Huskers stuck in the middle of ACC land. Also, having driven through VA once before I can honestly say there isn’t too much to complain about…at least visually.

Thanks Chill Man...

and you’re correct. I don’t dislike living in the Commonwealth, Hokiehaven…I simply don’t get to see a lot of Cornhusker football out this way. Enjoy your trip to Lincoln but be careful…I’ve known a lot of folks through the years that have begrudgingly gone to Nebraska and returned with a far more positive take on the state.

Ducky22 and all of Husker Nation

Here is my honest comparison. NE was very nice (the little I saw of it). A little flat for me, I live in Roanoke (Blue Ridge Mtns).
As a member of the Hokie Nation, I would like to let ya’ll know how much fun our group had this past weekend in the land of Big Red. I don’t just mean the “W”. From the time we arrived on Thursday, everyone we met was helpful and just looking to have a good time. We enjoyed Sidetracks Friday night and a full afternoon of tailgating on Saturday with some very gracious Cornhuskers. They supplied us with food and beverage and could not have been more hospitable. I had heard that UN was a very visiting fan friendly place and it turned out to be all I had hoped. I won’t even go into the actual game here, this blog is simply to let you know that your hospitality was greatly appreciated and I invite as many of you as can make it, to venture to Blacksburg next year. We try to have the same mentality of “let’s all have some fun and enjoy a good ball game”. Man that really sounds corny, but you know what I mean. Once again, thanks, it was a blast, from what I can remember. Ducky22, maybe the Hokie Nation can show a Husker a little hospitality next season.
