Started this as a game discussion thread, but also post some talk about how the fake sellout streak might be taking away the will to do some renovation to the stadium

Sam McKewon on the sellout streak:"I'm probably a little less romantic as others are. At this point, I think it's a streak that might almost be keeping Nebraska back from some innovation. So long as you can say, 'well, we're selling out the stadium because these three wealthy people keep buying tickets that people don't actually want,' we're not going to transform the stadium.

For me, it's about transforming the stadium. Get a new video board in the North Stadium...it's not functional anymore. Get a video board in the South Stadium. Improve the experience for the fans who are showing up. And sometimes I think that sellout streak can almost work against you...

At some point you're going to run up against, unless Rhule wins big and he may well do that, you're going to run up against a fanbase who's going to be like "as much as I love it, I'm going to come once or twice a year and not get season tickets because the experience at home is so good and the experience at the stadium is not as good.'...

My thoughts on the streak is it's valuable, it has historic value, there is a romanticism to it, and it speaks well to Husker fans. I just want to make sure it doesn't prevent the kind of innovation that is really helpful for fans enjoying those experiences."

I’m excited for the P6 and really hope they find the right mix of teams to get 10-12 members.

This year though it’s hard not to be a Cougs fan. OSU will bowl but if you look at WSU schedule they have a real shot at making noise for the CFP.

They look strong so far and on their schedule left it only looks like Boise St is a real threat to beat them. It’s hard to go undefeated no matter who you are but they have a shot.

At 12-0 it would be hard for the CFP to keep them out though they could. Just ask FSU. Even if they don’t make it in and finish 11-1 or 10-2 it’s a great story considering how hard they got hit with realignment.

Rooting hard for the cougs this year and looking forward to a fun conference when the PAC is rebuilt. Maybe we get lucky and this ACC thing happens so both the B12 and PAC benefit
