I guess we can say Frost's tenure got off to a stormy beginning. 
I imagine a bunch of fat little mouth breathers are crying themselves to sleep tonite.
They really don't want to open vs Colorado who has played a game with an extra day to prepare.
Maybe Nebraska can cancel rest of their games, then Frost can claim to go undefeated in his first season at ‘lil red.
That’s basically what he did at UCF if you look at their schedule.
They just went from 5-7 to 4-7. 5 wins might have gotten them into a bowl game. It did three years ago.
From the Omaha World Herald; note that refunds are not going to be issued.
For the first time in recorded school history, Nebraska canceled a game because of weather, as persistent thunderstorms pelted the city.
The last time an NU game was canceled for any reason, according to the NU yearbook, was 1943, when a game with Pittsburgh was canceled due to World War II travel restrictions.
The longest known delay for a Husker home game, before Saturday night, was 19 minutes at the Utah State game — also a season-opener — in 1991.
Nebraska will open its 2018 season against Colorado. Any adjustments to the 2018 football schedule would be announced at a later date and fans are asked to hold on to their tickets.
The next open date for both NU and Akron is Dec. 1 — the day of the Big Ten Championship. NU would prefer to qualify for that, and won’t know until at least late October if it didn’t have a shot of making it to Indianapolis. The conference title game for the Mid-American Conference is Nov. 30. Akron played in it last year.
Neither Frost, nor Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos, was available after the game. Moos didn’t answer a text from The World-Herald. The Huskers were scheduled to pay Akron $1.17 million for playing in Lincoln. Details on the payout are yet to be finalized.

Regardless of their decision to cancel, don't they still have to pay the visitors? Especially since they already took the ticket and gate fees, and concessions? If I'm Akron, I'd say "show me the money".From the Omaha World Herald; note that refunds are not going to be issued.

I would want to play the game too. Im a season ticket holder and would be furious if I was out money for a game I couldn't go to.
I would think that they don't have a shot now. hahahaFrom the Omaha World Herald; note that refunds are not going to be issued.

They did look good against CSU. Sadly, after losing their home opener to Hawaii, I think CSU is pretty bad. That being said, CU should be good enough to win by 14 in Lincoln.
Again, Colorado has a game played. kNebby has 0, which would be funny if that is what their side of the scoreboard shows at the end of the game
Their fans will be pissed they aren’t ranked today.
It sucks, sounds like everything was lined up for playing today, and akron took the money and left... We want to leave our BYE open, 2 weeks to prepare for tOSU can hopefully help us keep it close. It would be fun playing on the first week of december against Simpson College or something (sarcasm)
