Since I have the day off, I thought I would get the game thread going early. Enjoy tonights video.

Why am I nervous...for whatever reason, this feels like the first game of the season.  Sheesh.

Because we’re 18 games into the season and we have something to play for still that isn’t just a pipe dream.  Enjoy the nerves baby!  Every game from here on out should get us nervous.

YEAH Hskr4 said. I'm over on the PSU site and they think that they will have decent crowd as it's their coaches vs cancer game.

I think we have been a little undervalued recently by Vegas, but they only give us about a 1 in 4.5 chance of winning this ballgame.  We are going to have to play very well to win this one.

Sounds like someone needs a little chill out music.  Here's the best version of Little Wing, IMO, and it's not even close:

Id take those odds.

 

1 in 4.5 just seems high... Vegas hasnt done well with us vs the spread this year for sure...

Spread up to 8.5, no reason Miles' crew can't cover that

Reaves is out

Great news and even better since it's not injury related.  It's nice to see Nebraska catching these breaks for once.  First with McIntosh against NW, now with Reaves. I would gladly trade a Jordy absence for Reaves being out!

With Reaves out, that will drop like a rock

It will be interesting what the line gets down to.  Running out of time but my initial guess would have been somewhere around 4-5.  Vegas has not given Nebraska much credit yet.  I read earlier somewhere that Nebraska has covered 7 straight, which if accurate, is a remarkable streak against Vegas.

They (Vegas) didn’t do themselves any favors tonight with that line.

Got a chuckle out of this response to @Bugeaters1 over at the Penn State hoops forum:

 

Welcome!

Here’s a primer:

1. All the calls go your way
2. Our coach can’t coach, if only we had one like yours
3. Depending on outcome: sky is falling/we’re making the NCAAs
