Getting blown by Illinois should mean the door

 

Like mid season?

6:18 fg drought over

This game has been so gawd-awful, and Nebraska has been so absolutely pathetic that one glaring thing is escaping notice - these refs really do suck.  They are absolutely worthless.

Maybe we should put them in the game? There's a good chance they could shoot better than we are right now.

There is that but the double technical was pure garbage

Sadly Illinois has been called for double the fouls and we are still going to lose by 15

game getting chippy. discipline just non-existent right now. 

 

can't give in to frustration like this. this team wants this to be easier. and they're not going to get it.

I'm a little weird but I usually will watch the game and keep score. Nothing exotic but points & fouls mostly. The past 3 games, I've been giving up earlier and earlier. I just shut it down on this one.

But we always complain about the refs?

 

Maybe it's time we accept that zebras are allergic to

There may be blows by one or both teams before this game is over.

My dad has kept score at games for 2 decades.  Against Wisconsin he didn't bother.  It was kind of sad

Surprised Watson is allowed to finish game. I thought that 2 technicals by a player led to ejection? Maybe that's an old rule or I dreampt it up. Nevermind they were fouls not technical. This team really has me frustrated I can't even think straight.

Im pretty sure Illinois' entire philosphy is that the refs wont blow a whistle on every possession, so lets try to beat the shit out of the other team

Pimp I don’t have an issue with the call outside double techs

I think the B1G officials are better than the Big XII used to be. I remember many times in the Big XII thinking we got homered at home. Not saying B1G are great... I just don’t get that homered at home feeling too often in the B1G. 

 

Also, Big XII officials used to favor the stars way more than the B1G does.

First was double foul only

[tcp]

I mean, we absolutely stink. and we're only down 11 with plenty of time. 

 

What's amazing to me is that Illinois isn't up 25.

The first was offsetting fouls but not technical fouls

Illinois is terrible too

Start Thor.

I've mentioned this before, but we're watching soon-to-be #12 and #13 in the Big Ten play each other right now. 

[Huskerpapa]

Starting to play with a little fire.  Can we sustain it?
