Still ticked this is on opening day of turkey season.  While that maybe doesn't move the needle for a lot in Lincoln and Omaha, a lot of rural guys will skip the game due to this.  Hope they still sell out fast...

I grew up in a pheasant hunting hotspot (Phelps County).  I didn't even know there was a season for turkeys until an old teammate sent out this confusing picture of him sneaking up on one..

Perhaps this topic has been covered already, and If so, I apologize; but with facilities being closed... what happens to the weight program? Are those who live in the area still able to access the weight room and/or Duvall?Appreciate any input or clarification.

Per an OWH article from 3/13:

According to an NU spokesman, Nebraska will leave its facilities open to staff and student-athletes, including the weight room, where voluntary workouts conducted in small groups can still be held. Moos will next talk publicly at 6 p.m. Monday on his monthly radio hour with the Husker Sports Network.

Informative and helpful...Thanks..

 
Ticket sales lag behind last year's pace. Which is understandable, since everyone's confidence in the Frost Era has taken a tumble (whether big or small varies).


 


Early spring game ticket sales strong, but behind 2019 pace


Nebraska is assured a well-attended Red-White Spring Game on April 18. Ticket sales thus far, however, have not been quite as hot as the first two spring games under head coach Scott Frost.


As of early Thursday afternoon, NU had sold 53,500 tickets to the scrimmage, which comes at the end of spring practices, according to assistant athletic director for tickets Holly Adam. 
Tickets first went on sale Tuesday morning for season ticket holders and Wednesday morning to the general public. 

 


A year ago, tickets for the event went on sale on a similar Tuesday/Wednesday setup and, by Wednesday evening, only 7,000 tickets remained. Conservatively, that means somewhere around 75,000 total had been sold by the same mark last year. The school announced an official sellout Saturday.

It's kinda surprising that we've sold 53,500 tickets already. Nebraska led the nation in Spring Game attendance in each of Frost's first two years of coaching, and the tickets sold so far would put Nebraska in the top ten of last year's games nationwide.
 
Gonna be interesting to see how it all shakes out.  I don't see fall sports being at risk. If Covid-19 is still causing issues then, we are in a horrific spot at that point......
