The 2008 Husker football season kicks off Saturday, Aug. 30, but it's not likely you'll see the first three games of the Bo Pelini era on television.
The season opens when the Huskers host an up-and-coming Western Michigan, and they will face San Jose State and New Mexico State the next two weeks. Unfortunately for some Husker fans, those games won't be on television as none of the major networks have decided to go with other Big 12 games those first three weeks.
This is the latest Nebraska has gone into a season without a game on TV in some time. The last time at least one of the first three games on the schedule wasn't televised was in 1989. The first televised Husker game this year is likey when Virginia Tech comes to Memorial Stadium for a Sept. 27 battle, although it's not known which network will pick up the rights.
After that, the only guaranteed game to be on TV will be the Colorado game on Nov. 28. The Huskers do open Big 12 Conference play at home against Missouri on Oct. 4, and it's a pretty good bet that game will be on TV since the Tigers are the North Division champions last year and will be in most media's preseason top 10. The old-Big Eight rivalry game with Oklahoma on Nov. 1 should also be on most networks' radars of games to show.
