Oh Nebraska. This would have had a far different, and probably funnier, analogy during the Bo Pelini years, but now you're nice and so far, your team is boring. You show up to games, mostly, or at least the last quarter of them. You win them. And now you're a Top Ten team, doing your very best 2015 Iowa impression. It's nice, isn't it? And that's what you're all about--nice. True, it wasn't very polite to crush Illinois' dreams the way you did two weeks ago, but even the boy-next-door has to draw the line somewhere, and apparently, for you, that line is losing to Illinois. Anyway, like Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell, who was such a nice guy he did the decidedly unhip thing and got married--not even drunkenly or in Vegas--while at the zenith of his boy band popularity, you're on your best behavior right now. No one is embarrassed by you, and we'll see if you can keep it that way--because Indiana may well rob your kind and unsuspecting behind if you're not careful.
