@krc1995 I am talking about season as a whole, sure there have been glimpses and flashes of excitment, but that 7-0 start in 2016 ended with some of the worst games I have ever witnessed. 62-3 nuff said.

@krc1995 totally wrong.  I've said many times, that 7-0 record was a total farce.  Those 7 games were painful to watch, we could have just as easily lost most of them.  All that stretch did was give the uber Riley fans ammo to put him on a pedestal even though the team was dangling by a thread.  The only time I thought maybe we turned a corner was hanging with Wisconsin, then we found a way to s#!t the bed in that game too and all fell into place and the team tanked immediately after that as expected.

I felt better about our team during the end of his first year than I did during his second year while they were undefeated.  You could see it on the field they were getting softer.  This isn't revisionist history, this is a point I've made MANY times.  As mentioned above, the mask came off and the Ohio State debacle and Iowa game revealed what the team was made of.  The veil was thin and the tough teams punched a hole through us.  Many people saw it coming.

I'm actually a little disgusted I have to defend this.  I'll be honest, I tried longer than most to support that worthless excuse of a coach and staff.  I did my best to try and get excited about what they were doing.  But watching them play was emotionally draining, you could tell they had no drive, no desire, no direction and no clue where they needed to be most plays.  The o ly difference between 2016 and 2017 was the games that barely swung in our favor, the lucky breaks we got, swung and broke the other way.

Social media is inherently creepy if we're being honest.

Embrace it.  

Yes, take note recruits!  Take note of the .00001% of Nebraska fans DMing Keyshawn Jr. on Twitter! YOU DON'T WANT THAT IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!

Jr is just annoying as his dad except his dad was actually good at football and put in the work.

the end of calabraska is not a bad thing. i'd take a bunch of poor kids from south florida before i take a bunch of rich kids from malibu.

Fits right in with the SEC

Wonder if Kelly Bryant is still glad he transferred there? Lol.

On the bright side, at least it wasn't a bunch of athletes testing positive for meth?

Yeah that's some pretty low-hanging fruit. It's early.

Going to Lincoln!  Can't wait!

@teachercd first round on you?

Ha...my first round will be at 8am at my house with my friends!

The 5th round will be on me!

I really got into cigars in college...there was a shop in Lincoln we would hit up and then smoke on our roof over at 30th and T...we listened to tunes and had some beers...it was awesome!  But I don't think I ever really got into the names of them.

Quit wasting your time and money, Rocky Patel decade!!

Rocky Patel? Peasant. Go big or go home. God of Fire 2007 Carlito. 

I'm just kidding, that's super expensive. Try an Artura Fuente 858 Maduro, Work of Art Maduro, Oliva V, CAO Brasilia, CAO Cameroon, Liga Privada no. 9, T52 and Undercrown. Those are some of my favs, but I can recommend some lighter cigars, like the 5 Vegas Gold and Diesel Unholy c$%ktail (that are also on the cheaper side). Generally you want to get the thinner vitolas, like a lancero, as most of the flavor in a cigar comes from the wrapper (outer leaf). Thus the thinner the cigar, the higher wrapper to binder/filler ratio you get (thus more flavor).

Nothing?  How about Visit Colorado ads?

It is terrible.  Almost unusable.  

Amen! miss unread content and mark content as read 

I like to picture myself at the Husker game with like giant eagles wings and singin' lead vocals for lynyrd skynyrd with like an Angel Band, and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk...

@Redux Like a rusty trombone...

Boston beware. You’re next. 

Shoot me your email and I will get you the invite. Do you have venmo?

You bet - will DM

Text me,  b!^@h.

I Agee. No way that happens. Huskers roll. I’m really not worried. Every single thing we’ve heard since Frost came to town has been positive. I’m on that train until proven otherwise. Hell, even the inept Riley crew almost won two more and Pelini won 9 all the time. Frost is the real deal. We’re in good hands, the bad days are behind us.

I'm not worried either.

It would be brutal but taking the long view it is just a bump in the road.  Hopefully the players play hard but looking at highlights from our glory years, who do we have on the team that came make those kinds of plays?  Frost has proven to be a good coach but so many things to fix in a program that's been broken for so long... one off season isn't much time.

He was up their for a while too compared to the other players.  Nice to see a guy like that who isn't going to lay down and continues to improve through 3 different head coaches.  That's a lot change in a short time.

It was wide open this year, in real how it shook out.  If we don't win it next year I'll be kinda pissed.

I'm going to keep saying it all off season. This team can finish the regular season with a single loss. It's a very real, and very likely possibility next year.

Give me a bowl, a competitive team week in and week out, and beat Iowa. I'll be a happy camper. Winning the west in year two would be a great accomplishment. It may be open, but 5/6 teams are going to be very competitive.

Was Bo Pelini right?

It'll probably look like Camp Randal before the 2nd half 

@teachercd & @Ziebol You guys will grow to hate those Hallmark movies after your wife has them on 247 for about 2 years. I know.

If you like Hallmark Movies, this one sounds incredible.

My god!!!  HAHAHA

Mens wrestling, track and gymnastics are good but the rest of the mens sports are not and as you said they just plain stink.  Womens volleyball is the university's anchor sport right now and has been for awhile.  Track and gymnastics are  very good and several of the minor sports (meaning they exist to keep Title 9 happy) are highly ranked. 

Mens sports need a definite kick in the pants. At least one of the major sports need to step up.

Just the other day I was wondering, are we better overall than Purdue?  Minnesota?  Illinois?  I think not, for any of them.    Even Maryland at least has a basketball team.  It's a sad state of affairs.  Right now anyway.  :sigh:

Reading that status update got me to wondering, ""Whatever happened to our Gymnastics program?''..Seems like we were winning national championships around the time I started going to UNL (Although I never saw a match).

Then I tuned into the BIG10 network and saw us hosting and beating nationally ranked Penn State...But there were a lot of empty seats in the background..A little sad that we don't seem to be any better at attendance than I was back in the day.

I couldn't even find out the final score on any of the regular sites (including here) for a couple of days.

If you don't mind splitting up the group of 6, you will find plenty of tickets available before the game at the stadium.

@ColoradoHusk yeah, I think that's what I'm going to try for the CU game. I need 3 and the tickets that are available now on ticket hippo are ridiculous and row 90+ nose bleeders. Hoping I can get lucky scalping them off the street. Where's the best area to find them, just outside the stadium anywhere or in a particular spot?

I hate making that trip without tickets in hand but I'm not going to pay $200+ each. I can watch at a bar or somewhere for that kind of money if I have to.

@Comfortably Numb I don't get back to Lincoln very often, but from what I remember there are "ticket brokers" selling tickets in Lincoln from O Street to the stadium.  From what I remember, there will be a lot on the west side of the stadium.

As a D-backs fan, it seems like STL fleeced the D-backs. 

@STL Husker at this point Weaver really was caught in the middle without a spot. Wasn't going to make the rotation with Mikolas, Waino, Wacha, Flaherty, Gomber, and potentially Reyes battling for spots. And I think Hudson, Poncedeleon, and Hicks all get bullpen rolls before he does. 

Yeah, we had to deal one of those arms, I just hope we will be able to re-sign Goldschmidt.
