Nebraska Football Tickets

Tickets hot for Nebraska's last year in Big 12

Nebraska football tickets will be especially hot during the 2010 season, as the Huskers close a chapter in their history during their final season as a member of the Big 12 Conference.

With Nebraska moving to the Big 10 Conference in 2011, it will be the last time for Husker fans to witness traditional rivalries with over a century of history, including games against Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa State and Kansas State.

The big game of the season comes on Saturday, Oct. 19, when Nebraska hosts Texas in a rematch of last year's exciting, and controversial, Big 12 Conference championship game. Big 12 Southern Division foes Texas A&M and Oklahoma State are also on this year's scheduled for the Huskers.

The Huskers have three home games on their non-conference schedule, including Western Kentucky, Idaho and South Dakota State. They will travel to Washington on Sept. 18 to face the Huskies in Seattle.

With Nebraska bidding the Big 12 adieu, you can bet every team in the conference will want to get their last shot in on the Huskers, so every game should be exciting for fans.

Nebraska football opens with two pay-per-view games

Nebraska football tickets will be a hot item once again in 2010 as the nation's longest consecutive sellout string continues at Memorial Stadium.
Nebraska's first two games of the year will be on pay-per-view television, as the Huskers open with Western Kentucky on Saturday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. and host Idaho in an 11:30 a.m. game on Saturday, Sept. 11. Both games will be televised on a pay-per-view basis by Fox sports Net.
This will be the first time Fox Sports Net will broadcast Nebraska football games in high definition. As a result, the price for the pay-per-view games has gone up from $29.95 to $39.95 for the Western Kentucky and Idaho games.
While the Big 12 Conference's assigning of games to TV has yet to be determined, three Nebraska football games are already scheduled for TV appearances. Nebraska will play at Washington on Saturday, Sept. 18 on ABC at 2:30 p.m., they will play at Kansas State on ESPN on Thurdsay, Oct. 7 at 6:30 p.m., and they close out the regular season with their traditional day-after-Thanksgiving matchup with Colorado on Friday, Nov. 26 at 2:30 p.m. on ABC.

Nebraska jumping ship for the Big 10 in 2011

Nebraska football has more than a century of tradition as a member of the Big Six, Big Seven, Big Eight and Big 12 conferences.
That tradition is going by the wayside, however, after the Big 10 conference formally approved Nebraska's application to join the conference beginning in 2011.
The topic of conference expansion has been a hot item in recent months, and there had been speculation that Nebraska was on the list of teams the Big 10 would be interested in bringing into its 11-team conference.
After the Big 12 Conference held its summer meetings, it became apparent that Nebraska wasn't the only school looking for greener pastures. Texas was being touted as a potential team on the move, possibly going to the Pac 10 or Big 10, but was going to wait and see if Nebraska or Missouri -- maybe both -- would follow through on rumors they were leaving for the Big 10.
In the end, it wasn't even one of those schools that started the chain reaction. While media reports were selling Nebraska's move to the Big 10 as all but a done deal, Colorado broke the ice Thursday by announcing its intention to leave the Big 12 for the Pac 10 Conference, beginning in 2012.
Friday afternoon, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents gave its blessing to make the move, and moments later the Big 10 accepted Nebraska's application to join the conference.
The move will change the Nebraska football landscape, as Husker fans will have to get used to conference matchups against teams like Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio State and others. The days of matchups against Iowa State, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma State and the rest of the Big 12 will come to an end after this season.
That makes this year's schedule a special one for fans looking for Nebraska football tickets. You can get the best seats in the house, both home and away, with tickets from Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Nebraska-Oklahoma game in prime time

The Nebraska football team will make at least one more prime-time appearance on national television this season, as this week's matchup with Oklahoma will be a night game.

After posting a 20-10 win at Baylor last week, the Huskers will take on the Sooners in a classic Big Eight matchup at Memorial Stadium. The game is set for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast nationally on ABC.

One other Nebraska football game is confirmed to be a TV game yet this season, as the Huskers' regular-season finale at Colorado on Nov. 27 will be televised. That game is set for a 2:30 p.m. CST kickoff on ABC.

Nebraska's remaining two games, at Kansas and home against Kansas State, could also be televised. An announcement on those games will come about a week before each game.

You won't need the TV to watch the Nebraska-Oklahoma game, though. You can get great tickets to see the Huskers take on the Sooners now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.

Team draws coach's frustration after 31-10 defeat

The Nebraska football team didn't come to play Saturday in their 31-10 loss to Texas Tech, and if there's one way you can get coach Bo Pelini's blood pressure to skyrocket, you can play the way the Huskers did.

From the inability to execute offensively to the seemingly endless mental mistakes that led to ill-timed penalties to the inability to stop a solid offense when the situation called for it, the second-year Husker mentor was not at all in the mood for conversation after the game.

Pelini did speak to reporters, but it was clearly obvious he was unhappy with his team's performance.

"I knew what we had coming up in Texas Tech," he said. "I knew the challenge we had and we didn't meet the challenge. We got our butts kicked."

Texas Tech drove down the field on their opening drive and scored, then took a 14-0 lead when Niles Paul failed to cover a lateral pass from Zac Lee and the fumble was returned 82 yards for a touchdown. It was that kind of day for the Huskers, and it never got better.

Even when Cory Green found Khiry Cooper with a touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter, the hope fans of the Nebraska football team were clinging to faded away quickly, as Texas Tech put together a methodical scoring drive on the ensuing possession to quash any hopes of another fourth-quarter comeback for the Huskers.

The Nebraska football team will look to bounce back from last week's loss, which dropped them to 4-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big 12, as they play host to Iowa State Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.

The Cyclones are coming off a rare conference road win and will be looking to make it two in a row this weekend as they come to Lincoln, a place where Iowa State traditionally has had little to no success.

Nebraska football looks to ride the wave

There is nothing like a big win on the road to fire up a football program and its fan base, and that's exactly what the Nebraska football team got last week.

The Huskers came back from a 12-point deficit with an unlikely 27-point fourth-quarter rallly to stun two-time defending Big 12 North Division champion Missouri on their home field and post a 27-12 win Thursday night. That win has not only sparked a Nebraska football team, but it has energized a fan base and made Nebraska football tickets an even hotter commodity.

The Huskers' defense, with the help of a torrenial downpour that dumped more than five inches of rain on parts of the state, slowed down Missouri's passing attack and kept Nebraska in the game long enough for a sluggish offense to finally catch a groove, scoring four touchdowns in the final period, three coming in a span of less than four minutes.

Zac Lee and Niles Paul hooked up on a pair of passing touchdowns, and Lee found Mike McNeil on a great tight end screen to give Nebraska a cushion. Roy Helu Jr. found the end zone late in the final period to put the game on ice for the Huskers, who won at Columbia for the first time since 2001.

Now the Huskers, looking to ride the wave of momentum, return home to face Texas Tech in a Saturday afternoon game that should be even more exciting than your typical Nebraska football home game. Tickets for this game are going fast, and great seats are still available to watch the Huskers take on the Red Raiders right now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Getting over the rated bump

There was once a time when Nebraska was consistently rated among the top teams in the country and had little trouble beating unranked opponents.

These days, the shoes are on the other foot and the Huskers are having a hard time walking in them -- Nebraska takes an 18-game losing streak against opponents ranked higher than 20th into Saturday's road matchup at Texas Tech and is looking to break what is becoming a very difficult losing streak.

The streak got an ugly start in 2001 when the Huskers, ranked No. 2 at the time, walked into Boulder and got waxed by then-No. 14 Colorado 62-36. At the time, it was the most points a team had scored on Nebraska in its long and storied history, but it started a streak that continued Saturday when No. 4 Missouri beat Nebraska 52-17.

In fact, Nebraska has just one win against a ranked team since that time, a 32-28 win over 20th ranked Michigan in the 2005 Alamo Bowl. Nebraska's struggles against ranked opponents since the Nov. 23, 2001 at Colorado is as follows (team rankings in parenthesis):

Nebraska has at least three games remaining against teams that should be ranked in the top 20 when Nebraska faces them -- Saturday at No. 7 Texas Tech, Nov. 1 at top-ranked Oklahoma and the following week at home against 16th-ranked Kansas.

Daniel will test Nebraska's defense

Nebraska's defense has been put through some difficult tests early on, but nothing like what they are about to encounter as they open Big 12 Conference play this weekend.

The undefeated and fourth-ranked Missouri Tigers come to town for Saturday's homecoming matchup at 8 p.m. on ESPN, and to say the Tigers have their best team in a long time would be an understatement. This is a very talented bunch that is on the short list of teams that, at this point, could be playing for the national championship come January.

The Tigers are led by Heisman Trophy candidate Chase McDaniel. The senior quarterback threw for over 4,000 yards last year and tore apart Nebraska's defense in a 41-6 demolishing last year in Columbia. To make matters worse, he compared Nebraska's defense -- in that game -- to a high school outfit.

Nebraska's defense has gotten a lot better since then, but this group still hasn't been tested the way the Tigers are going to this weekend. With Daniel and his seemingly limitless options -- led by sophomore sensation Jeremy Maclin -- the Huskers are going to see an offensive assault that is much more potent and multi-talented than any they saw in their first four games.

The Huskers' first big test came last weekend against Virginia Tech, and it was obvious there are still a lot of holes to fill. The secondary allowed far too many open receivers and the Hokies dominated the time of possession and were able to come away with a 35-30 victory. If the Huskers are unable to rebound, Saturday's result against the Tigers could be an ugly one.

Daniel has been dominant so far this season, passing for 1,412 yards and 12 touchdowns while completing 76 percent of his passes. He set a conference record earlier this year by completing 20 consecutive passes against Buffalo. If he gets on a roll Saturday, he could put up numbers similar to last year against a Husker defense that is still working at improving.
