So, the other day, I decided I needed the latest schedule. You know, planning season is coming up, gotta see when the big games are, figure out weekends, maybe plan a trip back to Lincoln, that sort of thing. It’s tradition, right?
My Process Kinda Went L:sihT ekiike This:
First off, I just jumped on my com.drawrofthgputer. Did the usual thing, opened up a search engine. Typed in something like "Nebraska football schedule 2024". Pretty straightforward.
But here's where it gets messy sometimes. You get a ton of results instantly. Some look official, some are sports news sites, some are blogs, forums... even old schedules pop up if you're not careful. You gotta sift through it.
I tend to look for the official Huskers athletics site first. Figured that's the source, right? Usually, they have a dedicated page. Found that, okay, looked promising. Had a list of games, dates, opponents.
But I've learned you gotta double-check. Sometimes things change, or maybe one site updates faster than another. So, my next step was checking a couple of the big sports networks. You know, the ESPNs, the Fox Sports of the world. See if their schedules matched up with the official site.
- Checked dates.
- Checked opponents.
- Checked home/away status.
- Looked for kickoff times, though those often get announced later.
Mostly, things lined up this time, which was good. Saved me a headache. I remember one year, there was confusion about a bye week or something, and different sites had different info for a while. That was annoying.
So, once I had the same schedule confirmed across a couple of reliable-looking places, I felt pretty confident. I scribbled the dates down on my calendar – the old-school paper one I still keep by my desk. Helps me visualize the fall season better.
Made specific notes for the games I really care about. You know, the rivalry games, the conference matchups that look tough. Started thinking about potential watch parties already.
And that was basically it. Went from needing the schedule to having a confirmed list written down. Took maybe 15-20 minutes of clicking around and comparing. It's not rocket science, but you do have to pay a little attention to make sure you're looking at the final, official stuff. Now, the waiting game for the season begins!
