[Husker] Maine Television Plans (fwd)

[Sean McGrath]

Personally I feel the reason for scaling back the coverage is because
Callahan has closed off practices from the press. Usually, we would get
big time coverage of scrimmages and such but I haven't seen anything on
any scrimmages. We don't even get the stats from the scrimmage like we
used to. Without this access, there really isn't much to write about. I
will admit I have liked the little bios of the new players in the Weird
Herald.

football)

> At the present time the NU/Maine game is not schedule for any
television, this includes "over the air", cable/satellite or Pay Per
View. However having said that there may be some announcement next week
regarding a possible PPV of this game. But the current (and correct)
answer for now is no TV. 

I'm not all that psyched for the start of what I fear will, at best, be
a 
mediocre season for the Huskers. 

As a result, the sad thing is I don't really care if the Maine game is 
televised or not.  PPV pricing is outrageous, especially for a game that

will either be a cakewalk or could be the start of something bad.  
(With apologies to Steve Allen.)

This is the first time in over 30 years I've not been excited about the
start 
of the Husker football season.  Based on the number of posts, it appears

the Husker List isn't all that excited about it, either.  (I've seen
more 
traffic on the Northwestern List in the last week.)

It also appears the media isn't all that excited over the start of
Husker
Football.  In years past the sports sections of the Lincoln and Omaha
papers 
were almost wall-to-wall Husker coverage in mid-August, and there was 
nightly coverage on TV, I can't say I've noticed that much attention to 
the Huskers this year.
