FOX Sports Network - Nebraska 2008 Football Pay-Per-View Information

Information regarding PPV information for the first three games of the season.

I've had Dish Network for a long time. My subscription to Dish includes a sports package for about $5/month that includes all Fox Sports channels, not just the regional channel, which I find rather pleasing.

I have looked at switching to DirecTV at times, but they seem to be much more pro-sports oriented that I have never liked their offerings much.

My understanding is that on Dish Network, the game will show up on Channel 462.
Otherwise, Huskers.com and the link above should assist you in finding updated information.

Bo Pelini, On handing out the Blackshirts
"I haven’t decided (when I’m going to do it). I’m looking for them to be earned. There’s a chance I’m going to wait for a long time (to hand them out). That’s something that we, as a staff, will talk about. What’s a Blackshirt mean if it’s just a symbol that you haven’t earned? Isn’t that the point? I think everyone wants to rush this thing. It’s the same way as when I was here the first time. I don’t see the point to it if you just hand them out to hand them out."

The Legend Of Chase "Booger" Daniel

The Legend Of Chase "Booger" Daniel

"If you look at the legend of Chase Daniel when it comes back (in) three or four years," the senior Missouri quarterback said, "it's not going to be based on my yards, it's not going to be based on my touchdowns or interceptions. It's going to be based on wins."

Yes, Chase, your 'legend' will be based on wins, which is why you shouldn't do these types of interviews without a handler. Speaking of which, Mizzou still hasn't won a title in anything since... oh.... 1908 or something?

Hey, maybe after you're really successful, say like beating Oklahoma or outplaying Sam Bradford, they'll put up a statue of you or something.

There certainly aren't many runs up the middle, with the exception at 4:03. Speed, though.... he isn't lacking in speed.

Q. Is it all scheme or what is the key, the one thing that you have to do to stop those offenses, maybe one or two things?
COACH PELINI: As I said, I think you have to evaluate what the offenses are. And what they're trying to accomplish. Florida's spread offense is different than Missouri. And Missouri's is different than what Kansas is trying to do.
I think the key to playing good defense is evaluating what exactly an offense is trying to accomplish and what their strengths are and you have to develop a game plan to offset what they're trying to accomplish and take it away from them. So they have to get out of their comfort zone.
And I believe this. Defensively it's not just what you do, it's not all about scheme. You can -- everybody wants to -- every coach out there wants to have the pencil last. When you're playing on Saturday, you don't have that luxury. You're
playing, in this conference, there's a lot of good coaches and they're (players) very well coached. You're not always going to have the pencil last. It's not just what you do but how you do it. You can't just go get so wrapped up in outscheming the opponent. If you do that, you'll forget how you do it and forget about technique. Technique and fundamentals are essential.
And if you're playing very sound technique-wise and you have good fundamentals and you teach them, you have your guys understanding your scheme, you'll be able to match up and deal with any problems that offenses can associate or going to make you deal with a particular Saturday. That's something we've been able to do over a long period of time. And we'll have that challenge ahead of us here no doubt.
----

Hmmmmmm..... fundamentals and technique are essential. Sounds to me like if you want to successfully against the spread you'd better be able to tackle well, and that means making one-on-one tackles when the offense gets you into that situation.
If that's what we can expect from the 2008 defense, I can certainly get excited about that.
