The Husker Games - April 26th (Spring Game Replacement)

Gotta love the John Cook idea, it would send a clear message/motivate Rhule, 'start winning and look at the animals you can have bonused to you!'

A reason not to attend the spring games IMHO is if Trump actually attended.  Why would they even consider politicalizing such an event?

Some other pretty lame ideas listed below.

Apparently, there were a ton of options on the table for what to do with the spring date, brought up by Nebraska associate athletic director Brandon Meier, as revealed by CBS Sports.

Some, but not all of those ideas, included...

─ An open practice and a 12 to 45 minute scrimmage

─ Invitation to President Donald Trump to attend the stadium

─ Welcome back former Cornhuskers football coach Bo Pelini

─ Tractor pulls

─ A 7-on-7 flag football game

─ Football skills competition

─ Autograph session where fans can meet players and coaches

─ Sand volleyball featuring Nebraska players against football alumni

─ Punt, pass, kick competition for kids

─ John Cook roping exhibition, named after the former Huskers volleyball coach

─ BMX bike exhibition

─ A musical concert

─ Cornhuskers “garage sale” on the concourse

─ Fastest student on campus foot race

─ Tug of war involving sorority sisters

─ Free car/truck giveaway

─ BBQ competition

─ Go cart races

─ Dunk tank

─ Pancake feed on the concourse

─ Bring in the National Guard or other military formation in a game or other competition

I'd love to see Rhule's actual quote about that.  Preferably video or recording.  My guess is he read through these and rolled his eyes at many, but the one inviting Trump was like a "WTF!  Well that's "interesting" or maybe he meant the invitation to Bo would be interesting.  

Rhule's leash is nowhere near long enough to start playing games on the political scene.  I get that majority of Nebraska voted for the guy, but a really large chunk also despise him.  That would be beyond stupid.

Not to mention what an absolute train wreck it would be infrastructure wise for Lincoln to host the President on top of a 'gameday'.

 
Love the show.  First time caller, long time listener.  

I have a 2-part question. 

If they play flag football (which sounds cool to me), will the game still be red vs white?  Or perhaps will guys choose their own fits?

And second, do you think they will use red flags or go with Cornhusker yellow?

Thanks.  I'll hang up and listen off the air.   chuckleshuffle

I will say it again, cancelling the spring game was stupid.  Everyone that okay'ed it is a moron and should be canned.

This is a monumental failure.  

ESPECIALLY since, like many other schools, you can just have the game AFTER the portal closes.
