What did we learn? - Game 1 - Akron

[Lonestar_Husker]

I learned the uniforms will be looking very sharp this year.

I'm really, really glad I didn't end up betting the Nebraska win total.  That Akron cancellation may loom absolutely massive.

I also learned that I'm not quite as worried about Troy.  They got absolutely worked by Boise State at home.  I will grant you that Boise State will probably be a pretty good team this year especially with Rypien at QB but still...56-20?  Woof.

One thing I haven't learned is if I bet the over 6.5 on the nebraska total wins does it get voided 

nope

I liked Frost reppin the 308.

Wondered what the staff's "uniform" will be this year.  UCF was the black polo and grey pants.....I'm still wondering.

Frost looked very, very intense.  As though he was going to play as well.

The CU game just ticked up in importance.  They are not Akron.....

No flag leading out of the tunnel walk?  I didn't see one.  I always liked that.

Uni's looked good.

Stadium/tunnel walk live must have been amazing.  It was unreal on tv.

Hype is real in Lincoln....wish they kept the old tunnel walk song, but the new entrance is legit

Things we learned

1) J.D. Spielman is good at taking a knee on a kickoff return.

2) Frost is good at waving his arms with a let's-get-off-the-field-guys motion.

No moderator to merge this with the main WDWL thread?

The white pants had the red Adidas logo and red N

I thought the Adidas logo was supposed to be black? That's what I saw from the uniform reveal. I didn't look during the broadcast.

It was black on the promo but a lot of people assumed that was wrong (and it was).

I learned that weddings on game day isn't always such a bad thing.

 

[Crazyhole]

I learned that I drink too much during delays.

I learned the amateur meteorologists of HuskerBoard are absolutely terrible at predicting the weather.

 

[California Husker]

Am I the only that feels a little more unsure about next week's game since we missed out on this game?

Of course it would have been nice to have a "warm up" game for the Colorado game, but, we can look at a couple of bright spots. 
1) Nobody got hurt last night

2) Colorado has no game tape to go over (other than our kick-off return touchback play)

3) Nebraska has game tape to review of Colorado's first game. 

I know, playing the game would have been better. I'm just trying to look on the bright side.

Yeah, a handful were trying to downplay it hoping for the best instead of planning for the worst. I told a lot of people and everyone in my family on Friday that our game would get cancelled. I've never been blamed so much for something I don't control lol.
