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

I don't think we've spent enough time factually criticizing the fact that he didn't shave before putting his voice on the air. Seems pretty serious And I wanna know how many girlfriends knapplc has

Have a friendly poker game tonight that starts at the same time - needless to say I'll certainly lose my buy-in with my attention divided at least in half by the game. GBR

It's crazy to me (in a good way) how the benefits of being a student athlete keep growing and growing. You already had a full collegiate degree value, plus meals and housing, along with the best academic support, medical care, nutrition and fitness guidance you could ever hope for, all for "free". Now not only that but you also get branding experts to help you design logos, marketing campaigns and brand awareness too. That stuff is not cheap! Good for these student athletes.

Why do they even bother? These leagues have to just be a tax write-off at this point right?

It's great to see so many former Huskers do well in business ventures later in life. These NIL movements have me nervous about college sports in general but I'm glad people like this are finding ways to pioneer in these spaces and helping our school and student athletes in the process.
