JJ Husker

That video was so mind numbingly stupid, after viewing it, I almost died because it apparently wiped out my natural ability to breathe without thinking about it. Watch with caution. I'm pretty sure I've got brain damage here.

If this is your biggest concern for this game, I can only make one suggestion; step away from the Kool-Aid. "if we're at least two or three TD's ahead at the end" ??? Your scenario will not play out but if it did and Bo doesn't have em take a knee at that point, he would be a moron. Keep in mind this is highly likely a preview of the B1G championship game. Rubber matches almost always seem to tilt in favor of the first loser. Rubbing their nose in it would not bode well for NU should we meet again this year. I think it is 50/50 chance if Bielema would do the same thing. I only hope that if we do in fact lose this game that BB does rub our nose in it.

You know, one of the most obvious things that opens a window to the Wisconsin psyche is the foam cheeshead itself. Minnesotans & Illinoisians meant to use that term in a derogatory way (as in "you f'in' cheeseheads!") toward us and we just decided to make it into both a prideful & self-deprecating joke. It's more of a Packer thing than UW, and it really is somewhat against etiquette to use the cheesehead at UW games, but the point is we like to have a little fun, even if it's at our own expense. In the bad old days, we lost a game 55-2 to MSU -- our chant at the end of the game? "WE SCORED FIRST! WE SCORED FIRST!" That's funny. That's what you call making the best of a bad situation. In the "good old days" of Nebraska football, when I was a student, one of my favorite memories (albeit an alcohol fogged one-yes that would cover my college experience in total) was from sometime around 1982, we were rolling New Mexico or NM State, it was way out of hand and were ahead something like 66 or 72-0 and NM finally scores a touchdown against our 4th string. It was the loudest cheer all day in Memorial stadium.

Also, the NU Equipment tweet stating that we will wear our normal white shirt/red pants/white helmets has obviously been photo shopped.

I've always been impressed by Badger fans and Wisconsin people in general. Maybe it's just because I relate well to that area and have always liked the Packers, Brats, cheese, and beer. Students will be students- doesn't much matter where you go. Soem off color cheers or T-Shirts is no big deal. I would love to be going to this game and my least concern would be being treated poorly. Travelling football fans will likely run into a few a-holes wherever they go. I am sure Madison is no different in that regard than Lincoln. My one exception is Boulder and the Buffs. Guaranteed to run into a whole slew of a-holes there.

Maybe it's just me, but I would assume you guys would be throwing the kitchen sink at us on Saturday... He was being humorous Ahh. Fail by me. Yes, it was an attempt at humor but also making a point for all those people that claim our first 4 games have been defensively schemed vanilla on purpose. As if the Pelini's will simply flip a switch this week and we'll finally see what we have all been waiting for. (Hoping for it but not buying it yet) I am intrigued that the Badger fan apparently took my comment somewhat seriously. Some insecurity is good but that much could be trouble.

NU's score total over or under Wiscy's score total? See that right there is how you get to bottom of things.

I don't mind Herbstreit and I love Keith Jackson. Muskburger and Griese have both more than earned Husker fans ire. Some of what I hate them for would no longer be an issue since we are now part of their favored B1G conference. Griese promoting his own kid and Michigan back when Nebraska clearly had the better team and should not have had to share a title with Michigan is a good place to start looking for answers. As for the Muskburger issue, all you have to do is rewatch virtually any NU game he has done and listen to how lopsided most of his commentary is. That and his propensity for going way over the top on the most basic of circumstances.

I don't think the Huskers will show too much defensively. We've got Ohio St coming in next week.....

The question should not be when was the last time Mushburger was in Lincoln but rather, how can we prevent him from ever coming again. Open container is pretty weak. Surely there is some unsolved murder or child molestation that LPD could pin on him. Uh, that's right, I don't like him much.

Surely you jest? Mr. OverTheTop himself, your favorite? Mushburger blows.

Nobody is going to ask because everybody knows you're full of it. Well. I'm sure not gonna tell ya now even if you do ask

I agree in your assessment-the game will come down to whose big uglies control the line and who can effectively run the ball. You wanted to know how we feel about our run defense (and that will be the determining factor). So far this season I have been fairly unimpressed with our D-Line play (pass rush & run stoppage) BUT the Pelini's are notorious for scheming well for big games. I may be wrong but I don't think NU has shown anything defensively yet this season that we will see from them Saturday. We know we have the athletes and we also know they have not performed up to their capabilities yet. If NU's D is working, it will be a good game and a Husker victory. If our D is not markedly changed from the first 4 games, you are right, the Badgers will pull away and probably score more than the 38 you predicted. I feel our Offense can put up mid to upper 30's on you guys. Just depends if our D can hold you below that. Historically we have played well on the road under Pelini so I am hoping that will negate at least some of the environmental concerns of Camp Randall at night. I would love to be at that game. It should be an instant classic.

Great MInds.... I started a Look-ALike Thread on the AV Tech Board and I saw the same similarity

The only person that knows for sure is the ref looking up, standing directly under the upright. The TV view we got doesn't mean squat. 41-14 or 38-14 doesn't much matter. I doubt the ref called it bad on purpose. He wouldn't have had time enough to discern that it was so close and the camera angle so bad that he wouldn't look like an idiot making the wrong call.

Huskers 37 Badgers 34 Pass 187 Rush 272 I don't need a T-shirt bad enough to pick how I really think it will go.

You're right. We're terrible. We shouldn't even go to Wisconsin next week. All we're doing is wasting our time. You know what? We're so bad, let's not even finish the season. We're just so terrible that we don't even deserve to take the field with D1 teams. There's no reason to live anymore. Seriously, why was this posted? Sorry, I'm pretty unbearable on game days especially when the Huskers perform below their capabilities. I firmly believe that more important than the W or the L is that the players and team put forth their best effort. This is the same philosophy that TO had so I think I'm in good company. I will never give up on them but I do get temporarily pissy when it is obvious they could play a much better and complete game.

We learned that we only have 7 days left to fantasize about our beloved Huskers chances for this season. I would love to be proven wrong but unfortunately I have watched every play of the first 4 games.

Our defense is as effective as a crocheted condom.

ya think? We made Price and now Smith look like hall of camera. I'm sticking with my same score prediction for next week. Ecept we get 13 and wiscy gets 55.

Same as previous games- no dline pressure on their qb and our secondary is sucking still.

Lmao at the announcer. strange throwing motion but accurate unlike martinez.

Good thing it's wyoming. If it was a better team like millard south we would b in trouble

hopefully that means we'll play up to our competition next week. what I mean is we need to start playing to our potential. Ugly wins against inferior opponents may get u to 4-0, but probably leads to 4-2 after 2 more games. Wiscy will embarass us.

Simply patheti display no matter what excuses you delude yourself with. Playing down to the competition. BS.
