At least can now definitively confirm Nebraska is NOT soft and willing to play anyone, anywhere, anytime. That got dicey there, folks, almost like everything was suddenly on the line.

The public pressure, including boosters probably, got to them.

I just did something I've never done in my 60 years as a Husker fan. I called the Athletic Department. 

 

The answering system gave me a lot of choices, but I went with the Communications Department, precisely because they're stuck in the middle of this.

 

Nice young guy answered. I said "you've probably gotten a lot of calls today." He said that was correct. Told him I'd never been this embarrassed by the program before. He seemed understanding, told me they had just issued the statement (posted above) and offered to read it to me. I told him I was glad they responded, but the unanswered speculation about how they must have been spinning this for the last 8 hours wasn't a good look for Moos or Frost. He did not deny that, either. I asked if he could give me any inside dirt that I could spread on social media. He laughed. 

 

I feel sorry for the Comms department.

1) Commit to playing the game.

2) Claim a misunderstanding, even if we know it's bulls#!t.

3) Apologize to Nebraska fans and the Oklahoma program. We look forward to honoring the Game of the Century

4) Hope this is forgotten in six months; do everything possible in that time to field a competitive team loaded with self-respect. 

 

3 out of 4 so far!

As I posted in the worst loss thread....dignity.  we've lost that & now we explored getting out of a clear blowout loss scenario and into a cupcake home game...someone had loose lips & that sunk the ship.  

 

We are what we are... redundant but true.  We are a struggling program trying to find footing in an elite league and in a sport that has left us behind.  We are stuck in that hole, the problem is we keep digging.

Maybe they should play Kearney, Chadron, Augustana,  and some intramural teams until some winning and fun is had.  

UNK has a dominating rushing offense right now and should be pretty good this year. I wouldn't want to deal with that.
