[Husker] 2008 & 09 schedules

[andy at knipp.com]

While I cannot stand this schedule, Mike is correct. While there may 
be a few people that do not renew tickets because of the games, that 
number will be small. I will expect to see tickets readily available 
the day of the game for a highly discounted price. 

The sellout streak will continue, but a number of people will be 
thinking if it is worth it to pay for whole season with gag games like 
this.
