Go to a foreign country and have to learn a new language? No thanks I'll stay in Merica.It would be an awful idea for Iowa State to do this. But if they did I would go in a heartbeat.

They do know they are playing in Ireland not playing the Irish. Right?I've already heard from about six friends here in Lincoln who are planning on going.
This is how I've felt with the NFL. Sure, it's cool to have a game here and there, but your'e taking a home game away from a team with loyal fans who work their butts off all day 24/7 and just want to enjoy their team on Sundays.

Case in point: Tampa Bay this season. No true home games between Sept. 22 and Nov. 10, in part due to game in London ... two road games, "home" game in London, bye week, two road games.

Notre Dame playing in Dublin at least makes a little sense.
Illinois and Nebraska? Lol
Wow. Did not know that.
Somebody had to give up a home game. Might as well be Illinois! BTW, cannot drink in the seats at Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Quick pint in the concession area then back to your seat you go.This is a tourism stunt.....there will be 15,000 or so bored Nebraskans go(or more. I am underestimating for sure). I also smell BTN junket. Hell, can you blame them if you had that slush fund that they have. Spend it or lose it. 10,000 or so drunk and curious Irishfolk to fill out the bottom ring of the futball stadium and it will look OK on tv. What I don't get is Illinois? Illinois? Is Nebraska paying them what they paid Troy last year? I hope sports betting opens up a line on the over/under number of confirmed Fighting Illini fans in the stands. I would take the under on 75 right now. They really need to adopt a new marking/branding effort with their mascot. Maybe adopt a shark and start wearing gray uni's.
In 2021 Nebraska is scheduled to play Illinois on the road so they don't lose a home game. Illinois does.How is Nebraska going to have their annual 8 home games with this game in the schedule?
