Nebraska vs Kansas: Pay Per View Again? Really?

PrintJust when you thought you'd seen the last Nebraska pay-per-view game, here comes Kansas, which will be on pay-per-view again because the powers that be decided that the game weren't worth showing within the confines of the Big 12 contract.
It's a routine that Husker fans should be accustomed to by now. It'll work the same way as the others, except that they've dropped the price to $29.95 on this one! Whoooohooooo! Apparently the idea that everyone was paying an extra $10 for HD when it didn't show up in HD finally set in. How 'bout that!
It's still $39.95 because it's supposed to be in HD, and we all know how well that works.
It's understandable the game has moved to pay per view, given the match ups this weekend:
- Missouri vs Kansas State
- Colorado vs Iowa State
- Oklahoma vs Texas Tech
- Baylor vs Texas A&M
- Nebraska vs Kansas
- Texas vs Oklahoma State
Looks like a pretty good set of games... with the exception of the last two. The only reason anyone would want to see Oklahoma State vs Texas is to watch the Longhorns look more hapless than they did last week against Kansas State. Funny, last week the Wildcats crushed them without throwing the ball. Maybe this week Texas will get killed without Oklahoma State running it. So many ways to die, Longhorns! Whooooheeeeee!
I have no idea where I'll be Saturday. Current plan is to hop into the car and head South (again), heading back to western Nebraska for firearm deer season. I may stop in Lincoln. I may go to the game. I may head out west, where I'm not sure if they'll be buying the game. All I know is, I got a car, I got a Visa card, and I got a .270 Remington 700. All work for me.
How 'bout you? You buying the game this weekend, or what are your plans?

I'll be there.
Continuing my tour of conference home games, I’ll be in the stands with my hand/feet warmers, gloves, coat, scarf, wool socks, etc. Would prefer to watch this one indoors, but I committed to the tickets before we knew the start time. Not complaining though, night games are a great atmosphere.
Proud winner of the 2010 Corn Nation March Madness Tournament.
I saw a commercial last night...
from Joel Makovica (sp?) saying it was for the low price of $39.95, I think this one is 40 bucks. not $30. (That is what was advertised for Dish, however)
And screw that, I am not renting a 4th game this season…
That link is to the 2008 Pay-Per-View broadcast
…with the Fighting Manginos…
I think the 2010 pay-per-view is still $39.95.
oh for crying out loud
I guess I need a vacation, don’t I?

The game will be on back here...
Jon, as far as I know we will have the game on. Didn’t know you were heading this way this weekend. It will be good to see you. (You know the reason I like for you to come back this way!!!) Have a safe trip and to remember to “Keep your head up and your nose clean.”

Not a chance...
I am tired of PPV and will not be getting this one. I am still peeved that the beautiful state of Colorado didn’t get to see last weeks game vs Iowa State. I knew there was a reason I was still subscribing to Sirius radio.
Going
After witnessing the 2007 game in person I will not miss a chance to see us beat them, no matter by how much. These last two years Kansas games were great to be at (glad I never have to be in Lawrence again).
Can’t wait for the first cold game!

Nebraska if forfieting $9million+ in revenue this year to join the Big 10.
If you like the move to the Big 10, pay for the PPV and support your school.
Marketing
The realize how faithful following can lead to $$$$. This will be the only year in the Big 12 we’ll play Kansas under Turner Gill. The know we don’t want to miss that

I will pitch in
to buy it. Don’t agree with it being on pay per view but I will buy it anyway.
For anyone heading to Lawrence to do some tailgating....
Make sure to stop by a house almost directly across the street from the open green area on the southwest end of the stadium. It’s an older brick home, I believe.
Every year they have a huge party in their yard, allow parking, and people to walk into their home and use the restrooms.
It is by far the most bizarre home, living situation, and general “hippy-ness” I have ever seen (and I have seen some weird shit). You will know you found the right place when you visit the restroom and theres a huge, old, wooden 42" TV gracing your presence in the bathroom.
Anyway, this place calls itself “Park n Pee” or something like that. If you get the chance, I highly recommend checking it out. ; )
$5 at a bar in Houston
Thankfully the Houstonians for Huskers group has a space at a local bar, and with $5 and two cans of food to donate to the local food bank, you can watch the game with other Husker fans. Way cheaper than $39.95….which we can’t down here through any cable providers anyways!
Now if only we had some Runzas, Valentino’s, and a pitcher of Elk Creek….throw in a Husker victory and I’d say that’s a pretty solid Saturday.
