It’s hot in here.

It just so happens that I will be in Rome on August 5th. So as the saying goes, when in Rome, go support the Huskers. Looking forward to seeing Hoiberg coach his first Neb “game”.

It's been a long time since I signed on to huskerboard, but I'm sure glad I did tonight. @GStoll was kind enough to post the recording (two years ago)! Thank you! This thread can now rest in peace.

I'm really sad that we lowered capacity. Our top 10 games by attendance are going to be lame for awhile. Illinois, Rutgers, Perdon't... at least Miami is in there on top.

I saw a lot of good things today. I still decided to do some research on what I think is a telling and interesting stat. I'm curious if anyone can find any errors in here to prove me wrong: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18AWNj483o4b3-ixXdYx26gRLW7xkSdNxY0mtvp25-Hw/edit#gid=0

Need a long drive here. I hate losing games at the end because our defense spends all day on the field.

I'm not sure if we all read the hilarity over on tunnelwalkofshame.com, but if you don't you should. Head over and read his post titled "You can be mad at Bo, but don't stop there." In it he talks about upgrading the Memorial Stadium experience. He seconds Jack Mitchell's suggestion of playing "God Is Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash before the 4th quarter. I think that song says God too much to be considered an intimidating football song, even if it has a cool feel to it. "God" cannot easily be replaced in people minds as "Cornhuskers" (well, maybe it can). Plus, some people would probably complain. I have a suggestion myself and I want to get some opinions. First, we bring back the "Big Red Machine" nickname. It's justified, because we still call our defense the "Blackshirts" even when they are miserable. Then, before the first snap or during the transition between defense and offense, we play a shortened version of . If there is a long break, we start it at the beginning and then cut to the 3:40ish mark. For shorter breaks, start around the 3:40 mark. Then what it needs is what Memorial Stadium has needed for a long time, coordinated cheering that isn't just constantly clapping to the music. We need some coordinated machine looking movement (fist pump waves?) and LOTR-Orc-army-sounding Hooo-HAhhhh cheering. Play some highlights with that s*** and I think we have an intimidating stadium. I linked the song so give it a listen. Here it is again Thoughts?

What if just maybe.....just maybe.....the crowd would be as loud as we were after that catch when the team actually really needs us? That was incredible volume. No way could an opposing offense function properly with that insanity in the stands. If my voice isn't hoarse by the end of the game, then I didn't do my job. Wish everyone had that rule (unless there is some kind of medical problem).

Lincoln Lawrence - W Stillwater - W Ann Arbor - L Madison - L Columbus - L Manhattan - W Arlington - 2L San Diego - L Orlando - 2L Indianapolis - L East Lansing - W West Lafayette - W Away record = 5-9 (Former CMB member)

Neb: 45 Minn: 17 Rush: 245 Pass: 203

I'm trying to find an aerial view of a full memorial stadium from one of this year's games but have come up with nothing. The only overhead view of a full stadium with the expansion that I can find is photoshopped. Anyone else able to find any?

N = 49 Indian Headdress = 21 Pass = 280 Rush = 212 Defense gets 2 picks. One for a score & one that saves a touchdown near the endzone.

That would be really really cool if everyone did that hahaha.

For this young D it might actually help if we were just silent the whole time, but if I don't have a hoarse voice by the end of the game I feel like I didn't do my job.
