[Husker] Oddities

Well I guess that is all the more reason for Nebraska to make sure they smack these teams around so they can be ranked headed in to conference play.

I bet the kids don't care much who they play anyway as long as they are having fun.

No,  they are patsies. It doesn't change just because they beat up on each other. They come from the Sun Belt conference which is probably the worst conference in Div. 1. This is the worst OOC schedule ever for an NU team.

Okay, so I need a life, but I was looking at NU's non-conference schedule
for next year and came across some interesting (to me, anyway) coincidences.

Aside from Virginia Tech, the Huskers play Florida Atlantic (coached by none
other than Howard Schnellenberger), Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette. All
three of these teams play in the Sun Belt Conference; I don't recall any
season when NU played three non-conference games against teams from one
conference. Moreover, all three of them finished this season at 6-6 (FAU will
play a bowl game Friday), and they each won one and lost one in the games
against the other two. You might conclude they were evenly matched this year,
and they might not be quite the patsies we would ordinarily expect (though no
one will confuse them with Virginia Tech or Oklahoma).
