How can he make that call...the players backs were facing him.

 

Oh, well, I understand how Teddy can make that call.

 

Oh yeah... terrible call.  But it’s TV Ted man!

[Red Don]

Putdue choked it away.  Missed Back to back Treys & two FTs at the end!   It's up to Northwestern to preserve the Tie!

 

(oops, see Northwestern wins!  (my game score didn't update.)

Well... that’s a wrap.  7-7 tie.  Very well could have been 9-7 (looking at you tOSU and Purdue).

[jayschool]

Would have been nice, but a draw with the ACC — which benched Wake Forest — can't be a bad thing.

[tcp]

Purdue and OSU suck the air out of the B1G express.Nice work, guys! Even Rutgers delivered.

But he cost us the challenge! Man I have gotten way into a challenge that probably will have very little to do with Nebraska’s post season status

The ESPN2 Announcers (Purdue vs FSU) sound like they're from 'Student U.'

They’re probably just confused by FSU’s uniforms. 

 

Youch!!!!

[HuskerFever]

We did our part.

Two of Big 10s newest members are to thank.  Hellllo Rutgers and Nebraska!

[Nebrasketball1979]

Purdue completely peed down their legs while the refs pooed down their legs.  Some awful calls and no-calls.  

 

They say a tie is like kissing your sister.  I don't have a sister, but if you do, let me know so I can test this theory.

I think FSU's AD lost a bet on the UF football game this year.

Agreed.  Wife wants to know why I screamed at a basketball game that isn’t Nebraska.

 

However, I would argue Purdue lost it themselves.  Refs helped, but they missed two threes and two FTs.

[tcp]

Well, this beats 3-11 from last season. The ACCs loaded, too. 

 

.500 in conference is getting into this tourney.

Boilermakers blew it with a little help from Valentine. By the way, I think Boudreaux plays at the downtown YMCA during the noon hours.

And he (Boudreaux) never calls a foul on himself, the ogre.

The B1G had to depend on the two underdogs, both away from home, to secure the tie!    (Nebraska has done more than our share in holding up the B1G end  of the Series since we joined.)

Welp, on to Illinois now. We will need the home crowd to help. Which coach would be the biggest Wet blanket at your Christmas party, Sourpuss from the Illini, drill sergeant Beard from Texas Tech, or Psycho Fran?

Nebraska (5-3) and Purdue (10-8) are the only two Big Ten teams with a winning record from the B1G side of the ACC-B1G Challenge.

And, as it stands, Nebraska has the best record from the Big Ten side now...... Go B1G or go home. GBR !!!

what's weird is how many upsets we had to have to get this even. several minor mismatches on paper for the ACC. PSU. NU, Rutgers all underdogs. We were only legitimately upset twice (MSU and OSU pooping the bed). OSUs game was the most disappointing because it was at home. 

Only gift was NW drawing GaTech. 

Minnesota turned in a crap performance against a very beatable team on the road. 

 

I'm still really happy, because the ACC is packed this season. And we fought them to a draw. And we did it on the strength of two clear road upsets. 

 

Here's to stealing two early conference games next week!

Let's get that next game in Lincoln, and go from there. The Illini will be a tough bunch. And it's a 4 pm start on a late Sunday afternoon. Hopefully NU fans will be into the B1G game! GBR !!!
