[Husker] Non-conference games on the shcedule though 2017

[Steve Schmadeke]

That game at Wyoming next year feels like a trap game to me.  The following two Saturdays are the Big 10 opener at Wisconsin and Ohio State's visit to Lincoln.

When the series was first being negotiated with Wyoming, there was some rumor that it would be moved to Mile High Stadium here in Denver.  I'm guessing that possibility went by the wayside when CU settled with CSU and extended their Mile High series with a 10-year contract. If that hadn't happened, I would have not been surprised by Wyoming and Nebraska moving into that slot on September 3rd (the Labor Day weekend before the NFL regular season gets underway, but after the last pre-season game gets wrapped up the previous Thursday).  I don't see any chance of the game being moved to Denver during the actual regular NFL season.  Of course, if it becomes obvious that there will be a work stoppage in the NFL next year, who knows?

Also, if Roger Goodell and the NFL owners get their way on the proposed 18-game schedule starting in 2012, it is likely that CU and CSU will be kicked back out into their campus stadiums.  I don't know if the same will apply to Missouri and Illinois' matchup in Saint Louis since that is an artificial surface.
