We might suck, but maybe we can take some joy in this.

I literally feel like I can't breath right now, we really need to right this ship.  

Have you tried removing your head from your fourth point of contact? I’ve heard that helps you get better access to air.

This was a poor attempt at a joke directed at a particular poster who typically adds this sentiment. 
 

 

Are you talking about how in the “Why is no one posting in the prediction thread” thread I said more important things were happening this week, as my reasoning for why people weren’t posting?

That thing I did once. 
 

I guess that’s why literally no one understood your “joke”. 
 

Maybe next time avoid the unnecessary attack on another poster.

There are more devastating things happening in the world today than worrying about a football game. Get a grip. 

The loss is devastating for the program. Take a chill pill man.

You couldn't be more wrong. Have a winning record is better than having a losing record. 

It’s not worth the effort man. Knapp had made up his mind. 

No flag. And that’s the game. 
 

I was hopeful for this season. I’m not sure we’re winning a game this season after this one. Just a devastating loss.

Dude, yes.

 

It’s hard to argue with an irrational viewpoint but I at least respect you sticking to your guns.

What does any of that matter? We won nothing. We finished ranked in the bottom half of the top 25 a few times.

 

If that's Pelini's high water mark... so?

 

Back to back losing seasons is equivalent to being a top 25 team?

I don’t understand this viewpoint. Neither win championships. I get that. But Pelini’s record at Nebraska is categorically better than Frost’s.

This is objectively not true. How many blowouts do you need to be shown?

Frost has had his share of blow outs. At least we ended the season ranked, played and won bowl games. Competed for conference championships. Etc. 

I hope it wasn’t but that might be the dagger. 

Two end zone interceptions. 
 

We’re our own worst enemy. 

Broken tackles are killing us. 

Luke and 2 and 20+ name a more iconic duo. 

Luuuuuuuke

Touchdown Nebraska!

Takeaways for days!

NU 14

NWU 13

199 Rushing Yards

305 Passing yards

There are more important and consequential things happening this week than Husker game day prep.

I don't think you know that. You have no idea who the Big Ten front office is talking to. Reporters around the country cite sources in the Big Ten office.

 

Why wouldn't they have told these reporters?

They cite sources confirming the decision, but that doesn’t mean they were the original source. 
 

What about the whole NU/B1G saga makes you think it wasn’t us that leaked this? 
 

Regardless, we shouldn’t have started talks with UTC until we had approval. The way we went about things was wrong.

The only place this is a "public spat" is by the media.....which is zero surprise 

 

With no football game, the media still needs clicks for their advertising numbers.

 

Moos via Green asked if a substitute game would be considered.  The conference voted no.

 

Leave it to the internet and media to create high drama with no proof it's there.

How did “the media” get the story? We made it public. That’s what I’m talking about. This whole thing has been engineered by Nebraska to get people talking. It’s a bad look.

I also think it is TOTAL B^(($#!+ that the BIG wouldn't let us play Tennessee- Chatahootchie or whoever it was.

We went into the season knowing it was conference only. It sucks to lose again but it’s the rules. I’m a little embarrassed that the team is making this spat public. It’s a bad look for us.

Again, can someone explain to me why isn’t the BIG TEN admitting that Wisconsin is forfeiting the game? From what I heard, Wisconsin is not in the red alert stage and cancelling the game was their decision and not the conference. They see that there is a big chance that they lose the game and suddenly decide to use COVID as an excuse to cancel the game. I bet if the game was in Wisconsin, they would not cancel. If Nebraska did that, everyone in the BIG would call us chicken. I am really starting to hate the BiG ten and feel that they have never really accepted us as a legitimate member. 

The last thing we need is teams forced to play a game when it’s not safe to do so. 
 

This conspiracy none sense needs to stop. Covid is spreading through Wisconsin and it’s football team like wildfire. Let’s stop worrying about a damned game and worry more about public health.

lol.. wait until its announced that Wisconsin is back practicing in preparation for the Purdue game. (before the 7 day shutdown) That is if any Wisconsin journalist has the gonads to publish it.

The earliest they can practice is 3 days before the game, although it looks like it’s not going to happen either.

Frost said it best in the Illinois post game.  He has the evidence to prove a majority of calls go against the Corn Huskers. This conference has made us house rich, but at what cost?? To turn our weekends into a fun get together to drink and watch us get our asses kicked?? Absolute incompetent officiating, rigged schedules, and worst of all absolute boring traditions and teams.

The leadership at the University pissed our traditions down the drain, and worst of all cut our lifeline off to the massive population of the south.  Texas kids accounted for a large part of the roster and kept our heads above water for a long time.  Was playing in the world's nicest stadium for a title game that bad?? The honey moon is long over, it's time to go back.   and I'm sorry to any of you too young to not remember the vastly superior story lines we had within the big 12.  Cheers I won't log in again.

Bad ideas? Username checks out.
