the "N" on the helmet joke made manifest.I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but Nebraska has canceled in person classes on Friday to accommodate students so they can fully attend and enjoy the game. . .
Come on, they are just taking Cardale Jones’ viewpoints to the next level!
That is correct, just the in person part of the classes were canceled, not the classes themselves. Well unless they're lab classes I guess, lol. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. However, Nebraska still did it specifically because of the football game, which is pretty incredible.I believe classes weren't canceled but moved online for Friday.
www.footballforumsguide.comI just checked out the Nebby fan site. The one is found was boring and hardly any comments. There may be a different site that I didn't find. By the way Dan.... thank you for such a great site. It always amazes me when I check out other fan sites and see how unsophisticated they are.
First of all, that's inaccurate. They have gone to an online format for Friday to accomodate 90,000 people coming on campus without the obvious headache of parking of commuters, instructors and other employees at the same time. Seems a very prudent decision, to me. I'd suggest you posting this says much more about your priorities than it does "a lot of today's..."
this is still prioritizing the accommodation of a football game over the normal function of a university. spare me the "this is good, actually" defense. and yes, they were moved online and not canceled. i'm sure all students will be planted in front of their laptops, and not face first in the ground after their 10th shotgunned beer.First of all, that's inaccurate.

I never said it was good, I said it made perfect sense. I assume you've never tried to move the traffic of 90,000 people into a relatively small area occupied by nearly 20,000 students, instructors and staff at the same time? I haven't, so I'd never imagine questioning why law enforcement, city planners and the university all decide it is the only logical choice they had. Friday night football in the Big 10 is stupid, but what I imagine would be much worse would be trying to figure out the flow of that many people for no reason, when a very smart, logical alternative is available. Insinuating there is something wrong with a university that prioritizes the sensible movement of that many people over a single day of classes is foolish. I ask rhetorically, where has common sense gone in this world?this is still prioritizing the accommodation of a football game over the normal function of a university. spare me the "this is good, actually" defense. and yes, they were moved online and not canceled. i'm sure all students will be planted in front of their laptops, and not face first in the ground after their 10th shotgunned beer.

And of course most the students won't go to class or probably attend online....SO WHAT? About 90,000 people won't go to a full day of work Friday either....SO WHAT? They will all survive. Lighten up for God's sake.
Breathe a little, man, it's ok, lol. It's great the school and fanbase is getting this excited for this Friday night football game, but you have to understand the humor other fanbases are going to see in this. It's a 7pm football game and most kids live on campus within easy walking distance to their classes. Is it prudent to account for 90,000 people coming around campus area for pregame and tailgate along with the traffic that brings? Absolutely. But prudent to move a full day's worth of classes online because of the football game? I mean come on now, the only reason that was done is they know students and probably multiple professors are going to be pregaming anyways.First of all, that's inaccurate.

Which just shows another reason why weekday football games are not a good idea. I know this flies in the face of today’s major conference sports landscape, but these are academic institutions first and foremost.First of all, that's inaccurate.

Most students in fact do NOT live on campus. The parking around that campus and downtown on game day requires the lots that are used by faculty and commuters to be open otherwise it would create major issues for traffic flow, access to downtown and campus is already complicated on game days on Saturdays when there are no classes. This has nothing to do with pregaming for faculty and students. Stop with the internet boisterous criticism based on lack of facts and simplemindedness. Sure it is fun to poke the bear but doubling down on ridiculous accusations is juvenile. They are ensuring two things get accomplished... students have class remotely so no learning is lost and they are able to accommodate 90,000 people to get IN the stadium in time for kickoff.Breathe a little, man, it's ok, lol.

In any case, enjoy the game, hopefully not too much though.

I think that’s 7amONLY 17 MORE HOURS!!
I hope being an underdog fires up the players!!! Let’s have a good first quarter, settle in, and let it come down to the end and hope for the best.
I find their enthusiasm and frankly cockiness to be so odd and amusing, haha.
