[Husker] More Rumor: Nebraska @ Houston in 2005

[Mike Jaixen]

I've seen several reports today that Nebraska and
Houston are wrapping up a deal to play next season at
Reliant Stadium (home of the NFL Texans), possibly
with a Thursday night ESPN broadcast.  If it's a
Thursday night, chances are it would be Thursday
September 1st.  September 8th is the likely NFL season
opener (which means ESPN wouldn't be too interested),
and September 22nd would be a tight fit after the Pitt
game.

Nebraska currently only has one non-conference game
scheduled the next 3 seasons:  9/17/05 vs. Pittsburgh,
9/16/06 at Southern Cal, and 9/15/07 vs. Southern Cal.
 I would assume that this agreement would also mean
home games against the Cougars in 2006 and possibly
2007 as well.

Anybody have any more information?
