Yes, +3

Visited Lincoln in 2008 when the Broncos played there (saw Suh as a junior). Highly recommend the trip. Some of the friendliest, welcoming fans you'll meet, and Lincoln is a fine college town.

If you're passing by Omaha to/from airport, the Old Market is a good spot to check out, and Upstream Brewing Company for some cold refreshments.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Heard Lincoln is a great place to see a game. Definitely looking forward to that one

My son is a student at Nebraska. Place is amazing on game day. I'll post more details over the summer, but encourage you all to make the trip. I'm getting into town on the Thursday before our game...

You've got to remember that there is nothing in the wind about NIU-EIU at the GRireF except what's being made up on this board. Right along the lines of moving the BC game to Aurora or Rockford.

SF told me at the beginning of last season that this USF replacement game was waiting on ESPN and some other things to make an announcement.

That is where this stuff originated.

You're alive. Didn't he say that it changed (the team we were maybe going to play) as our season took a crap.

I didn't hear that but it may have been said by someone in the know.

Anyone considering going to the SDSU game on Sept 30?

Liberty, who hired disgraced AD Ian McCaw has moved to FBS as an independent. That school sucks, but i'm sure we'll end up playing them.

Is that the school who had Sam Ritagilano? former Cleveland Brown head coach, as it's coach?

I'm not sure about that, but their current coach is Turner Gill. And they do have a nicer stadium than NIU (but that's not saying much). Jerry Falwell Jr is the president of Liberty and human piece of trash Ian McCaw is their AD.

Yes, we beat them 27-21 in 1992 with Charlie Sadler as our coach and Sam as Liberty's coach.
