FW: [Husker] what problem are we solving?

[David Miller [278990]]

I have to agree with you whole heartily, I have always seen the schedule
through out the years about the same as it is today.  The names of the teams
may be different, but the schedule strength is about the same.

This thread is just another example of the Pedersen haters nit-picking
for the sake of nit-picking. 

What is generally considered reasonable in today's scheduling is that
you play 1, possibly 2 of your non-conference games against other Top 25
caliber programs and 2 to 3 games against teams that provide almost sure
wins. If you take a look at our schedule for this season and for 2008 &
2009 that is exactly what Pedersen has accomplished. 

In 2007 we will face 3 bowl teams including the defending ACC and PAC 10
Champions, one of whom will be a Top 25 team and the other a Top 5 team
- hardly a schedule to scoff at. 

And it sure was convenient for all those "Pedey" haters out there to
omit the fact that the 2008 schedule includes a home game against
Virginia Tech and that the "pathetic" 2009 schedule includes the return
game in Blacksburg, one of the tougher places in college football to
win. 

Last time I checked VT was a perennial Top 25 team, so for all of you
who want the schedule to feature "at least 1 game against a "name"
school that is exactly what you are getting in 2008 & 2009, so stop
complaining about nothing. 

And don't forget that future schedules include series with typical Top
25 teams UCLA and Tennessee as well as Washington, a team many consider
to be on the way back after hitting rock bottom the last couple of
seasons. 

Have a great day!

GO BIG RED!

Jeff
