Why would any player choose Nebraska?

[zoogs]

No, that one's for opposing fans from rival teams looking at us right now

I got it! Gallows humor. Knew I'd come through. /pats self on back

Schadenfreude is taking pleasure in the pain of others. zoogies is right - he's thinking of Gallows Humor.

But then... aren't we all right now?

IMO we needed a win today to keep west coast recruits interested. The 2nd half was disappointing.

At least those west coast recruits learned we give out free pickles after practice. Free pickles, free corn? What's not to like?

Hey guys help me out here. What's it called when you're in a bad situation and start finding humor and good spirits in bleakness? It's not black humor...I'm fishing around for the term but I can't get it. It would be applicable here, though.

It's one of the stages of depression. Can anybody tell me what I should expect next?

Gas.

1. Get to wear black uniforms for one blowout per year

2. Play in front of 90,000 fans for three quarters.

3. iPads in lockers

4. Strange fetish for mediocrity

That's all I got. Am I missing anything?

Get the hell out of here.

8. Free pickles.

Surprised that's allowed by the NCAA. Impermissible pickles is a serious problem in today's college football landscape.

No, I'm not when the post comes from somebody who has been around here for a while and has managed to post less than 100 posts. Had you or anybody else done it, it'd be okay.

The opportunity to be on the same field as the Wisconsin Badgers at some point.
