Waiting For The Nebraska Game Open Thread - Watchya Doing This Weekend?

The worst thing about evening games is the waiting. Nebraska's season opener, so close, but yet.. so far... it's like that last mile when ya gotta pee real bad and you've driven eight-ten hours and you just want to get back home.
Hey, we're here for you. If you haven't already introduced yourself in the roll call, please do so, and consider yourself welcomed to the community. (You'll need an account to post and if you want to contribute more than that, there's even a tutorial available.)
Whooeee! It's the first full weekend of college football. Don't know about you, but I don't get out much (not even making that up). I tend to get up early, watch ESPN's College Gameday (except for any Lou Holtz segments) and then flip between as many games as possible until the Big Red comes on.
Consider this your open thread until the Nebraska game starts at 6:00 pm (oh so far away). In the meantime, let us know - watchya doing this weekend? Any special plans? Any great food you got planned for game time? Any bold predictions for the season? Any games besides Nebraska you're wild about watching?
More importantly - who's Nebraska's starter at quarterback?

Just waking up
desperatly trying to find my vintage Husker hat while recovering from last night before I head to the tailgate. Then it’s off to the game. It’s been a long offseason but now gameday is here.
Zac Lee will be throwing bombs for us this season.

I'm going fishing this afternoon, and then home to listen to the game.
I’ve got a keg of homebrew ready to tap for game time.
Will the Big Ten network televise these “pre-season” type games?
by Trey Hillman's Chin on Sep 4, 2010 10:28 AM CDT reply actions
No
there will be no Husker sports on BTN this year – we’re still under the Big 12 contracts until we officially join the Big Ten.
It’d be nice…..$40 a game – that’s two (or more) cases of cheap beer…

Yeah, I was more wondering about next year. Will they televise every game or will games like this one be bumped for other match-ups? And more impotently, will I get to see them in Des Moines, or am I doomed to only see Iowa games?
by Trey Hillman's Chin on Sep 4, 2010 10:58 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
hmmmmm
that’s a good question.
BTN should pretty much televise every game. Right now on BTN – is Iowa vs E Illinois, and Penn State vs Youngstown State, so there are multiple channels. It’s whether or not your cable provider (I have Dish Network) will have all the channels available.

I can't find a 2nd BTN Channel.
Hopefully we’ll just schedule at opposite times.

Do you have...
Dish, DirecTV, digital cable?
I can only speak for digital cable and DirecTV when I tell you that all secondary BTN airings are on the same tiers you find the sports packages; NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB Extra Bases, ESPN College Gameplan, etc…

Jon equates everything to the cost of beer
How much is that doggie in the window? Well, it’s about 10 cases of cheap beer. I like your thinking…
I’ve set up shop in a maternity room in Des Moines. My son, Nebraska’s starting QB for 2029, arrived yesterday, just in time. (He must’ve known GameDay was coming) Whoohoo!!! So, we are dressing him in his first Husker outfit, and ordering in food while we listen to the radio stream. Not ideal, but at least it’s not the Texas game.
Watching the Iowa game here though, curious to see if they are as good as the hype.

Morning
I’m holding out for the Illinois/Mizzu game. But have a day of cooking, baking and cleaning until then.
Waiting for my friends to arrive
We’ll go down to Lincoln about Noon. My friend John said he’s bringing T-Bones for the grill. Have a good day listening to the iPod or the pregame on KFAB, then head to the stadium.
GBR!
Iowa
already smashing Eastern Illinois 21-0, but some dude from Youngstown State outran the Penn State defense to score a long TD, so PSU behind 7-3.

So nice to have football on again.
I’ve heard Martinez is getting the start too. I think that’s a mistake but I guess there is a reason I’m not a head coach.
Well if he's the choice
It could be that Bo is willing to sacrifice a game or two this year in order to make a bang our first year in the Big 10 this year. I’m sure he’d rip me out for even suggesting that, but with our defense, trying to prevent turnovers and giving away points seems like our best bet for this year.

is melting down. They just got off about a 10 yard punt.

And CU....
Gotta give them credit. I wasn’t expecting them to roll. 24-3.

KSU UCLA tied up 7-7
UCLA can do nothing on offense though.
KSU can’t really pass though.

Well
They’re in the game heading into halftime. That was looking far from a sure thing about 10 minutes ago. And who was that injured Michigan player on UConn’s scoring play? If it’s bad at all, that’d be a big blow because he’s presumably from their secondary which is already thin.

You folks need to win that conference, drink all their beer, and steal their girlfriends while never looking back.

Thanks bud
I saw that you guys started a freshman at qb today. How are people feeling about that?

Enthusiasm abounds.
Some folks have fast-tracked him to immortality. I’m high on him as well, but trying to keep it in a “reasonably cautious” frame.

I'm sure I'll curse his name in the future
But for now, hopefully he can get you guys past Bama next week. I’d be grateful if you guys could silence their fans and the talking heads at ESPN early on this year.

I'll eat nothing but cheap canned beans
and white bread for a month if we can get that one. I want it bad and for the same reasons you articulate.

Well
Mobile qb vs a defense decimated by graduation and the draft. I’m sure they’ll be the prohibitive favorite but you never know with a mobile qb and all that inexperience on their defense.

okay
where the hell was I???
How’s KSU vs UCLA doing????

Oregon up 59-0 at the half.
Kenjon Barner with 6 TDs so far. These are beyond Madden numbers, haha.
Even though its a cupcake
I think this puts Oregon into PAC-10 favorite position. They’ve gotta be drooling over that USC defense.

Good opening day for the Big 12
Mizzou was the only real letdown. And jeez, Michigan is 5/5 on 3rd down their opening drive in the 2nd half.
"My hardest job is to convince the people of Nebraska that 10-1 is not a losing season." - Tom Osborne
I'm sure they'll run up the score to save face
and 5/6. Mich has to settle for a fg at the end of an 18 play drive. 24-10

UConn fumbles on going for a fourth down, fumbled inside the Michigan five….

Really unfortunate, because they had the easy first down, and it was just a case of a Michigan helmet hitting the ball and then the ball bouncing perfectly for the Wolverines. And it was about to be a game again.

Where's The Post-game Over-reaction
It is a stretch to say you over-react, but the rest of us are used to it!
