  1. What if I could get you the B1G kicker of the year from 2020?
  2. Bill O’Brien liked the Nebraska Athletics Open OC posting on LinkedIn. (Jokes)
  3. *I should say one turnover that led to points for the other team, took potential points off the board for Nebraska, or resulted in a key game ending play (MSU, Mich).
  4. Could the 2021 season be the hardest schedule in Nebraska’s history? The B1G has never had 5 teams in the top 10 at the same time until this year (MSU, Mich, PST, OSU, Iowa). All but 4 of the teams that Nebraska has played were ranked at some point during the season. Team - Highest Rank - Current Rank - Record OU - 3rd - 8th - 8W 0L MSU - 3rd - 3rd - 8W 0L Mich - 6th - 7th - 7W 0L Minn - 20th - 20th - 6W 2L Pur - 25th - N/A - 5W 3L OSU - 3rd - 5th - 7W 1L Wisc - 12th - 21st - 5W 3L Iowa - 2nd - 22nd - 6W 2L When has NEB ever played a schedule like that? Did that ever happen in the Big 8/Big12? Has it ever happened in the B1G? Not that I can recall. Not even close. Take away 1 turnover a game and the Huskers are easily 7-1 and ranked in the top 10, playing a 7-1 OSU team this weekend. The only loss would have been to Minnesota using this methodology. Turnovers: Illi - 2AM Fumble OU - 2AM Int in Redzone MSU - 2AM Fumble, 2AM OT INT Mich - 2AM INT, 2AM fumble Pur - 2AM INT(s) The Huskers are tied at 87th in the country in turnovers lost with 13. This has been one interesting season.
  5. Being at the game last night was different for me than it was at the CU game in 2019. This team is different; more disciplined, bigger from top to bottom. They are playing well. Losing sucks, but losing by 13 total points to 3 top ten teams shows me they’ve turned a corner. The defense is fantastic. They are improving. I made it a point to talk with some of the Mich fans yesterday. I asked for an honest assessment of how they felt things were going. Most of them said they were shocked we hadn’t won more games. Quite a few of them felt this was their best team in years, and they were nervous before the games.
  6. The sentiment in the stadium is that this might be the worst refereeing we’ve seen. Sitting next to Michigan fans, and they agree. What a joke.
  7. Didn’t the Huskers hold Michigan State to zero 1st downs in the second half, or did I hear that wrong? I can’t believe they’re still that high.
  8. Bob Stoops said before the OU game that NEB was ready to turn a corner. What I learned is that this Oline change was a plus. It might have been a big enough plus for another 1 or 2 scoring drives in previous games. That is the difference between this team being 3-3 and 6-0. Illinois wouldn’t have gotten to Martinez, we would have sustained drives and that game would have been a blowout. OU wouldn’t have hurried Martinez nearly as often and that would have resulted in more sustained drives and at least 7 points… The difference in the game of course. Last week was pathetic for our oline. This oline would have created enough space and drive sustainment to allow for 14 or more points. This team should be 6-0 during one of the hardest schedules in school history according to preseason predictions. This team still has a lot to improve, but that team that showed up tonight should have beaten OU and Michigan State. That team that showed up tonight will beat Michigan next weekend, and I’ll be there to watch. GBR
  9. I’ll have to ask my wife if I can get mine back so I can get in line for my turn.
  10. On a 1mph wind day, Culp drills a 45 yard FG right down the middle to win the game. However, just before the ball crosses the threshold of the upright, a bird, with a B1G tweet-shirt on, flys right into the ball, knocking it off the upright and down into the end zone.
  11. This team is a hot mess, but at least they’re hot. A quick shower, some o-line makeup and we win every game here on out. We will beat OSU so long as the defense remains solid. Our defense is fantastic and their defense is really bad this year. They’re ready for the breakthrough, and we’ll remember the second half of this season as the moment when everything came together. (Sets the KoolAid down on the desk.) Man, I was thirsty.
  12. Add me to this camp. I’m done apologizing for him. It’s beyond embarrassing at this point.
  13. I wondered the same thing, but let’s just hope the new coach brings in someone with them.
  14. The offense in general: 6 TDs The defense in general: 2 turnovers, 3 sacks
  15. I agree. If they handle this correctly, they could show recruits they can play nationally, or they can stick to regional football with the SEC. they can also set up and control the governing body and playoff. They could extend 1 spot to a SEC team that wins the conference championship. How funny would that be?
  16. Let’s just hope he didn’t coach them to smile for the camera.
  17. Funny story - I’ve been pulled over 42 times and have only had 2 tickets issued: #1. I was going 82 in a 65 in the panhandle of Oklahoma. I was in the military, and would pull out my military ID with my license. It was a get out of free jail card nearly every single time. There were two issues: I had a Nebraska hat on, and Texas plates (stationed in Texas). Oh, I also had a radar detector. It was the only time I used one. #2. Pulled over in Iron County, Utah in a red Subaru Outback for going 83 in a new 80 mph zone. Others were going the same speed as me. They also got pulled over up the road. I’ve been pulled over for running 92 in a 45 (racing at night, not in city limits or near houses). I’ve been pulled over for going 155mph in Skull Valley, Utah on my bike. That’s usually a trip to the slammer for the night. I didn’t get tickets for either of those. In fact, the cop asked if he could take my bike for a quick ride. “Uh… yes!” He went by at 130+ with no helmet. I can’t imagine the wind in your eyes at that speed. Policing and regulating are two completely different things, but thank you for the opportunity to tell a funny story.

  19. Bob’s a sexy beast, so he was able to get a younger, more athletic wife. Melissa is definitely an upgrade from Karen. Karen really let herself go.
