[Husker] More Bodybag Games for Huskers

[RJ Wessel]

I know we all want to play it, but as a Kansas or Iowa State - if you are rebuilding a program and your goal is to become bowl eligible, would you really want to pick up a Nebraska game? I doubt those schools are interested in a game with us right now no matter what the terms are. 

Not saying they are scared of us. Just don't need that game with the others they will be playing the coming years.

Like it or not, Nebraska's budget depends on seven home games a season, which means three non-conference home games. I don't think any of our former Big Eight brethren (except possibly Colorado) are interested in playing in Lincoln without a return trip. And that's not something that Nebraska can offer, I believe.
