Guess what? Nebraska ranked 15th in average crowd attendance at NCAA home BB games, even with the season they had. There were a lot of teams in the NCAA tournament that wish they had fans like that.

Does the tweet mean LSU was the first to do it this year?
I'm not sure, but I think it's been done by some other teams in the past.
I'll try checking.

LSU basketball has always been, at best, a lower half of the conference program that occasionally goes on a run.
This is what happens when an old person like me reads a post by someone younger.
Hey, there was actual life on earth before you learned to post on forums.
You have no idea what LSU basketball was like in the 70s and 80s.

Agreed. I have been to quite a few SEC stadiums, but this would have been my first time at Neyland. I'm sorry not to go.

I think a lot of people are concluding that Nebraska wanted out of a difficult series because a logical alternative wasn't provided. " We can afford half-a-billion for stadium renovations, but we need to make a few million back with an extra home game."
A few million. One home game is $12 million. That's quite a bit considering the new budget line of $20 million for paying players.

So you prefer a Nebraska homer , Sam Mckewon , for your
truth in reporting ? I think I understand.
You're going to have to do better than that. At least McKewon isn't lying about the reason for the change.
Everyone keeps ignoring the fact that it was Tennessee that said no to rescheduling the game.

Nice link to Matt Hayes opinion article. Yes, that Matt Hayes.
With the additional game of 90,000 paid seats, it's a little more than "a few million" gained from a home game. On top of that, there's the $20 million needed each year for paying players.
Nebraska doesn't have the advantage of a large population most other Big 10 or SEC teams have. The state's entire population is smaller than most other states' larger cities.

They will have reduced capacity due to renovations, but will still host all their other opponents. Legit excuse.
Hosting isn't the reason. The game at Tennessee was the problem. Nebraska was able to schedule a lesser opponent to come for another home game, meaning multi-millions in income.

Post something that shows the endzone renovations have been rescheduled, because they were canceled.

Not canceled, just posponed. Nebraska just finished a $165 million football complex, so the stadium expansion was postponed.
In 2006, Tennessee and Nebraska agreed to a home and away set of games, scheduled for 2016 & 2017.
In 2013, Nebraska agreed to a Tennessee request to delay the series so Tennessee could play West Virginia in 2016 at the Bristol Motor Speedway.
Nebraska replaced Tennessee for those years with Oregon. (Running scared?) At that time, the games were rescheduled for 2026-2027.
Believe me, no one is more disappointed than Nebraska fans. I was really looking forward to going to the game at Neyland for the first time. I've heard it's one of the great college football experiences.
By the way, Nebraska asked Tennessee to reschedule. Tennessee refused.

Over the next several years, Nebraska is going to tear out the entire south endzone stadium and replace it with a whole new section. They need every home game they can get. The home and away doesn't fit. Missouri could only wish they had the fan support Nebraska has.

Many years ago in a canoeing accident, I tore a tendon in my thumb.
The doctor called it 'gamekeeper' thumb. It requires surgery to fix.
He said that baseball players who steal a lot of bases often carried their batting gloves gripped in their hands so their thumb would not catch on the base during the slide.
The new gloves lower the risk of tendon damage.

One of the most fun (and aggravating) losses was in Baton Rouge in the first round of the NIT. We lost to Tulane, but that game was loud and exciting.
Sitting in front of me were a husband in an LSU shirt and his wife in a Tulane shirt. Right after half-time, the husband turned to her and told he had to change seats or he was going to hit her. He went down and stood in an aisle to watch the rest of the loss.

I don't think Namath beat LSU at tiger stadium. The win he had against LSU was in Alabama. I'm over 70 and my memory is not so good, so I could be wrong about that.

re: LSU lands Jimari Butler
Posted by NebraskaExPat on 12/16/24 at 12:09 pm
Butler is a good player at a school that is in the run-heavy Big10.
He probably sees that he has a much better chance at an NFL career going to an SEC school that has a chance at playing in the championship tournament.

I've watched him play this year -- he's a good pick up for LSU.

I'm a Tiger fan, but now live in Nebraska and attend the Husker games. LSU would kill Nebraska in a bowl game.
Rhule is rebuilding, but the team is nowhere near good enough to play LSU competively.

Why all the negativity? It's a fun time, most of the LSU people like it, the owner gives a large part of the profits back to LSU and to a local Omaha charity, and it doesn't hurt anyone.
The most unhappy people about the Series right now are Nebraska people. They love having LSU there. If you were to take a poll in Omaha, unless Nebraska or Creighton ever make the World Series, LSU is the most popular team with the local fans.
