Got the monkey off our backs


Recommended Posts


Don't get too hyped up because I noticed that the ESPN highlight reel isn't showing many of Nebraska's good plays or scores. (They showed Missouri's big play though.) I noticed that they made sure that they mentioned that NU didn't have much yardage going into the 4th, but they sorta failed to mention that Missouri didn't either. That's how they downplay what just happened.

 

Then there's this gem (note that Missouri "dominated" for 3 quarters):

The media isn't going to let the monkey off our backs. All they are going to do now is say "NU has only beaten one ranked team in the last blah blah" versus "NU hasn't beaten a ranked team in the last blah blah". They'll still make it sound terrible.

 

All of the re-writing of history aside, the win still feels good.
