Nebraska football season opener canceled after mass confusion

The Nebraska football season opener has been canceled. After fans and viewers sat through more than two hours of lightning delays, severe thunderstorms rolling through Lincoln forced a postponement.

Shortly after the announcement, the game wouldn’t be played, there was talk they would try and get the game in on Sunday. Those talks apparently got far enough that Fox Sports announced the new game time of 10:30 AM on Sunday.

That announcement had followed several people saying they had sources that were working towards that resolution. When the announcement started scrolling across the bottom of the screen, people started planning for the first Sunday Husker game since 1994.
