Nebraska social media wins again:

Hopefully there's nothing to be found like this in regards to Osborne.

Really love the analog, art-deco stylization of the TVA. Marvel has been crushing it the last few years leaning into not being afraid to get campy and stylish with its properties (I think Taika Waititi's success doing Thor: Ragnarok was the catalyst to this pivot in a lot of ways), and Owen Wilson and Hiddleston are setting up to have a lot of fun chemistry. How on earth they're able to tell these stories so successfully in isolation while also using them to set up fundamental pieces for other stories years and steps down the line is unfathomable and so neat. But specifically in Loki, it'll be fun to see what historical hijinks they'll attribute to him. I think the trailers showed something that might be the destruction of Pompei? Loki as Jack the Ripper? Fun stuff ahead.

I'm a bandwagon fan and I was a little kid when he was here. I know nothing about the guy lol. I actually only found out when I replied to you that he was only here for four years - you make it sound like he was born in an alley in Fremont and adopted by the Osbornes. You seem really mad even after someone posted a video of him complimenting us. When asked about Nebraska being a better seed than should have been sent to Arky: "I agree. And when I saw them pop up I thought, 'why are they sending the Big Ten champion here? It doesn't make any sense... So, I know it's a really tough job and I get that but Nebraska has a really good team... and I think that they came in here and they were a little bit comfortable. More comfortable than I wanted them to be because trust me, I was very much leery of them and what they could do here, and I knew they had good arms... I knew it was gonna be hard to get by 'em. I knew it was gonna be hard to get by 'em on Saturday, and then yesterday obviously they did a great job against us we didn't play very well, and tonight I knew was gonna be a dogfight and it was... When asked about Will Bolt: "I feel bad. And I say this all the time, I don't get anything out of beating or winning against former coaches...a former player, I feel bad for them. They had their huddle in right field in our stadium, after winning the Big Ten championship, picked like 6th in the league and they ran away with it, because they're better than everybody else, and they're tougher than everybody else and I saw that this weekend. And that's because of players that are over there, and Will Bolt and his coaching staff have instilled that into those kids. You know, Nebraska was really good to me. I loved it up there, and it was hard for me to come here because of what was going on there but I knew that this was what I wanted to do. I don't like playing Nebraska, I don't even wanna schedule them."

He hasn't been our coach for 20 years, he doesn't owe Nebraska fans anything and I'm sure he doesn't care or expect Nebraska fans to care about him. It's not like he's from here or has any special ties to us. He played at Arkansas, he was a GA at Arkansas, and he's been a coach lots of other places for close to as long as he was our coach. Who cares? DVH is Arkansas' coach and should only care about himself and Arkansas.

If the top teams are probably (and they probably will) going to dominate and win anyways, at least this way maybe we get some entertaining and electric games before the inevitable boring conclusions?

I agree. Didn't see anything from your players or fans that I took issue with as we surely did or do the same types of things. That type of energy for your side is what makes sports great!

Anyone else feel like there's a potential unintended consequence of this making life even easier for Bama/Clemson/OSU/OU? Could we even see teams intentionally lose to stay out of their conference championships, knowing they'll still get a playoff bid and an extra week of rest? I'm not a fan of cheapening the 'win or you're out' high stakes of the regular season (which has already been cheapened) that makes college football great. But, if it's inevitable, at least this way there's literally no excuse left for pretty much anyone even close to being able to argue they deserved a shot.

Great effort and performance from our team, just had one bad break in a tough environment we outperformed to get to in the first place. Hats off to Arkansas on rising to the occasion and taking advantage of their strenghts. Bolt thus far seems to be the guy, which is really exciting. Although, not to be pessimistic, but I will temper my expectations some. Lots of coaches across different sports have a big 2nd year, then fall back down to earth a little bit. Remember Tim Miles? Impossible to predict if this will be the new normal or an aberration, but I'll enjoy the ride as long as it's enjoyable! As far as the fans/players, I don't mind any of it. It's sports! Bunch of whiners in here complaining about a team and its fans being excited and enthusiastic about their #1 team at home in a great battle. Midwestern polite pride is so weird! If their team and fans were so lacking in class, returning the favor and doing the same to them in Omaha just proves that we don't have any class either. Great season boys. Go big red!

HAVEN'T BEEN THIS PUMPED IN A WHILE LET'S GO !

I think it was just one guy on twitter. Kept responding to one Arky beat writer who tweeted about Hagge flipping off the crowd with the names and photos of his family/girlfriend/etc. Sports makes people act so dumb sometimes.

I love the woo pig suey chant. It's obviously successful at doing what it's supposed to - being annoying and getting under the skin of opponents players/fans. The more we hate it the more they love doing it, which is the sign of any good cheer or tradition. Plus it's unique; better than any of the wal-mart generic brand chants we have.

It can definitely be obnoxious and condescending when you're really good, but our fans have always been like this. We chanted HEIS-MAN for Ricky Williams when Texas ended our 47 game winning streak, we cheered for Northwestern when they came in unranked and beat us as a top 10 team, and whether we're good or bad or our opponent is good or bad opposing team players always remark about how we're intimidating for 60 minutes then abnormally nice after. Anyways, great win tonight! Despite what comes next (although we can totally beat these guys again), we just knocked off the #1 team in the country in their home stadium in postseason baseball.

Wild pitch, then misses the throw back at the plate, then the throw back to the plate is late. Can't expect to beat a team this good with mistakes like that.

Wow...terrible mental mistake. Left two on with a very unnecessary 3rd out. GBR!

I don't even like baseball, but when Nebraska baseball is doing well I freaking LOVE baseball! Gonna watch tonight's game on my projector in the theater room cranked up.

Would have loved to see Adam Kucera suit up! Dude could sling water bottles with the best of em

Question - assuming we win this game, we play Arkansas again tonight, and if we win that game we'd have to play Arkansas again on Monday?

If you're not going to be using them, I'll take 'em!

One last chance. Let's go boys!

Kid has a cannon but looks like a huge project player. Doesn't seem to have any intuitive pocket awareness.

The strikezones are driving me nuts. Super tight at the beginning but seemed like it was consistently small for both, but crazy disparity as the game has gone on.

well....dangit haha

And a homer. 8-3 Arkansas, that changed in a hurry. Still good for us that they're wasting pitchers right? I know nothing about baseball!

We're 0-11 against Iowa and Wisconsin the last 6 years something has to change
