The #106 team dropped us from their schedule? Damn. It will be tough, but there are 13 D1 teams ranked lower, plus about half the D1AA teams. However, three are already on the schedule. Double damn. This is where Holmoe earns his paycheck. Do your magic, Tom.

Why the #@%$ do we have a home and home with #106 in the nation?

Since BYU plays much better at home, they should follow the example of the Longhorns' 2008 schedule and maybe they'll be undefeated and ranked #1:

8/30 Home game
9/6 "Road game" in El Paso
9/13 Home game
9/20 Home game
10/4 True road game in Boulder
10/11 Neutral game in Dallas
10/18 Home game
10/25 Home game
11/1 "Road game" in Lubbock
11/8 Home game
11/15 True road game in Lawrence
11/27 Home game

Yes the Horns leave Texas only twice all season.

I am guessing Nebraska.

While that would be nice, they're pretty much out of the equation.

Nebraska's A.D. Demanded a 2 for 1 and according to what I've been told Holmoe told him "go fish". So Fresno State stepped in and took the offer.

Nebraska doesn't think we're a big enough program to merit a 1 for 1.

This is week #4 against a top 10 team. And you are arguing that they have a weak schedule? Wow.

You heard it was Fresno? That would be disappointing, although clearly better than Tulane (which would have been awful).

With the crappy product NU's been putting on the field they still want that sort of premium? Wow. Screw the Huskers, my Husker's hate is warranted.

Crush them, you Sooners!
