BTN to Broadcast Spring Game Live

[husker07]

Steven M. Sipple ‏ _filtered ;Huskers spring game April 6 will be shown live by the Big Ten Network. Bo Pelini: "I think it's a good recruiting advantage."

I haven't seen this anywhere else on the board so I thought I'd post it. I think it's a great move. Good for fans and good for recruiting.

Very cool, I'm glad we are doing this and of course I can't wait to see some kind of football, even if it is a practice.

Didnt we say no to ESPN on numerous occasions? This pleases me. :espnsucks:

They were going to show it on tape delay (and live through BTN2Go) last year so the whole "we don't want teams to see new stuff" argument went out the window with that. Makes a lot of sense to show it live this year.

Very Cool!

I wonder how much this will hurt attendance. Guess we shall see. (I am all for showing it, although I think it would be better tape delayed.)

 

[Saunders]

It's about friggin time.

Nice, I haven't decided whether I want to take my boys to it or not, they are only 3 1/2.

That's awesome. I was planning to go this year - already had tickets bought - but now I have something else that weekend that I have to do instead. At least I can DVR it and watch it later.

Shouldn't it be broadcast on "The Weather Channel"

I got my tickets 2 weeks after they went on sale and still got a set of 4 row 11's in the south.

i don't think it'll hurt attendance, people will want to go, and have it DVR'd...

It's awesome for schlubs like me who live in Nazi Jersey...

 

[zoogs]

Nice! This is the right call. Finally.

Great thing for Nebraska. Glad its going to be live. Knowing Pelini, we will only see a small percentage of the playbook.
