Enhance Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment
The_Fan_Man Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 We still have an open week on Sept. 4th if we petitioned the NCAA to allow us an extra game. 1 Quote Link to comment

roadrat Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 The big ten will decide what's gonna happen this year. They will decide how many fans will be in the stands. Let's not assume everything is going to be back to normal. Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 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. 4 Quote Link to comment

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! 1 Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Now let's go tear down Brett McMurphy's house so this will never happen again! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So now Nebraska is an embarrassment even without playing a game. Ugh. My opinion of Moos has gone down the drain with this. It's an embarrassment for the program to even have thought about such a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cobra Kai Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment

UNK has a dominating rushing offense right now and should be pretty good this year. I wouldn't want to deal with that. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Say, if we want to combine nostalgia and winning, why not celebrate the 111th anniversary of the Nebraska-Haskell game? 3 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 If Nebraska is so desperate for revenue that we'd consider canceling the the Game of the Century reunion, maybe we should look at all options... ...like selling beer at the stadium. 6 2 Quote Link to comment
