It'sNotAFakeID

I'm expecting times where things don't click and times where Colorado looks the better team, but I would have expected that even if we managed to play Akron. It's Game 2 now made Game 1; the game reps against Akron would have helped, but I'm not quite sure how much of a difference it makes. I think we're going to be fired up, focused, and ready to remind Colorado just why we own this all time series, 49-18.

Yeah, I'm with you. The players make a lot more money than the average person makes because their skill-set is determined to be more valuable than the skill-set of the average person. Who determines value? Well, we do. We buy the tickets, we buy the merchandise, we watch the games, etc. Our fandom is the reason why professional athletes are paid as much as they are. It seems ridiculous to be upset at them for that. Do I think they're being justly paid? Eh, there's times when I think they're not paid enough, considering the very possible and very real long-term effects of playing the game, and there's times when I think they're paid too much.

We're still paying Mike Riley $6,600,000, and that was a decision we could control. There's literally no worse nightmare from an administration's perspective than having possible weather cancellations during a game. You can't call it off prematurely, because if you do, you look like a fool if the weather doesn't happen. There should be a plan in place for these sort of events - and I'm 100% confident there is. Also, any announcement to fans would have to be made over the PA system - and I doubt the effectiveness of that when everybody is inside the concourse. What I don't know, and what is really confusing to me, is how the 1030am tomorrow leak got out and spread like wildfire. To me, I think that leak, which was probably not started by a Nebraska or Akron official, did more damage than anything else that happened tonight.

Happy Scott Frost Day!!

Although I didn't learn much about Nebraska: I did learn a few things about other teams in the Big Ten: 1) Ohio State, with or without Urban Meyer, is still Ohio State. Very talented team - although Oregon State was able to put up some points by exploiting the edges of Ohio State's defense. 2) Michigan, right now, still looks to be missing a QB. Their offense was missing for well over half of the game against Notre Dame. That's been a hallmark of Michigan under Harbaugh and it looks like it may continue into the 18-19 season. 3) Michigan State, boy did they struggle against Utah State. The offensive line generated no push, LJ Scott looked slow, Lewerke wasn't great, and the defense allowed Love (Utah State's mobile QB) to have a really good day. 4) Minnesota, Annexstad (their QB) slow start against NMSU, but they eventually got it rolling. Annexstad looked competent if a bit green as the Gophers's signal caller, but overall Minnesota didn't look bad. 5) Purdue, Rondale Moore is going to be the breakout star of the Big Ten this year. Dude can ball. Also, Purdue went down two scores multiple times against NW only to rally each time. A dumb penalty cost them at the end, but they looked so much different than the Purdue teams of the past. 6) Northwestern, I don't think going with 2 QBs for the whole year has ever worked for Pat Fitzgerald. Yet, he is obsessed with doing so. Maybe the 2 QB system was done intentionally to ease Thorsen back into the role after he suffered a leg injury in their bowl game against Kentucky. Time will tell, but Northwestern looked sharp on Thursday against Purdue. 7) Illinois, the Illini won, and they'll be able to take some confidence in winning a close game, but they're still Illinois. 8) Iowa, I didn't watch much of Iowa as I was too enthralled with Penn State - Appalachian State to notice, but they shut down Northern Illinois. 9) Wisconsin, looks like Wisconsin. Not much different about them this year. Jonathan Taylor is a man and if Wisconsin does well, he should win the Heisman. Overall: I think our games against Michigan and Michigan State may not be hard as advertised, whereas our games against Northwestern and Purdue may be harder than advertised.

I don't feel much different about next week. Yeah, there's probably a little disadvantage not having the in-game reps (especially for a fresh QB), even if it is against Akron. However, I don't think we will be able to point to next week's result and definitively say "yep, it was all because we didn't play Akron".

Per UNLPD: The game is cancelled and will not be played tomorrow.

So this is going to be weird. Husker football on a Sunday. Game will start without the Tunnel Walk and without a kickoff. The game will start, Nebraska ball 1&10 at their 25.

Oh boy, they say going to Memorial is like going to church. Well, now it's REALLY going to be like going to church.

Game cancelled. No future information

Probably not - but there's a >0% chance that it might happen so you can't take that risk because if it does, you're fried.

Calling it would be the smart move. The radar has only gotten worse.

This was supposed to be the break and it's been interrupted by lightning strikes. By the time these cells have past, the second round will be here and then it's done.

Good thing it won't matter

BREAKING: My friend is outside in Lincoln waving the storm to the east. Will update as needed

Good thing we have Abeliene Christian. Yeah, good f#&%ing thing.

Just cancel the f#&%ing game for f#&%s sake. We get to 28 minutes and another lightning strike which delays it another 30 minutes. Look at the forecast and call the damn thing off so everybody can go home.

This sucks...

This storm cell is annoying. It doesn't pose a real threat but it's lingering and lightning. Another strike. This game is over.

No it definitely won't.

I think those are with the storms further - by the border

We should just do the Tunnel Walk again when they come back on the field.

We're not getting this game in tonight.

LETS GO EVERYBODY! LETS END THIS GAME BY HALFTIME!
