[Husker] Huskers to open 2011 season with 1-AA

[Brad Roth]

Perhaps TO should see if he could convince UWyo to move the game to INVESCO Field at Mile High.  I can see a number of reasons why Wyo would not want to do this...shucks, it may end up feeling like an away game for them in their own stadium anyway!

That said, I bet we could fill INVESCO.

The smaller (by reputation if not size) non-AQ schools have figured 
out that they don't have to take away-only games, even with a big paycheck 
attached.  Just say 'no thanks' to those deals.  

Faced with a choice of offering a home/home series to a Division 1 FBS team,
playing a team from Division 1-FCS if not Division 2, or an open date and
an 11 game season, what would you do?

Nebraska also has a lot of fans and alums in the western end of the state, 
this game will be a whole lot closer than driving to Lincoln.  So it's not
a lose-lose proposition.
