A very important question

[hhctony]

I have never, NEVER (not once) seen a Nebraska men's basketball win at Pinnacle Bank Arena. I am seriously considering going to the Iowa game. Should I stop considering this? Your help appreciated. 

[Huskerpapa]

Lol...win or lose I would go, so although I would implore you to attend, I am sure not able convince you we can win.

I’ve never won the lottery, but dang it I’m going to buy those tickets.  Ya can’t see us win if you don’t go!

 

(Although maybe this is a sign I shouldn’t play the lottery)

Your presence or absence will have zero affect on the outcome, so if you want to go...do it.  You might see us win.

First question, how many L’s have you attended? Need to know if you are a full on jinx or just short term unlucky.

[cipsucks]

By all means go. Sneak in a couple fireball shooters, a little Nyquil, do them right before the starting lineups are announced, say three Hail Jerry's (Eickhoff) and your curse will be lifted.  It's really not all that complicated...

Francon meltdowns are always worth the ticket price. 

I sense he's gonna be hitting Francon 1

Do it.

Well, Iowa just got beat like a Narc @ a Biker Rally by Eastern Illinois so the 29th might be a good time to “break the seal”…

What is this “short term” unlucky you speak of?

My last game attended was the Rutgers New Year game in 2020. Saw us lose to Northwestern in the Miles era. But, I have maybe only been to 5-6 games at PBA for men. Way more of a "state tournament" venue for me.

Not enough to label you a jinx, go to the game.

I'm 1-2 in games attended at Pinnacle. Lost in overtime to Miami, lost in a day game against Northwestern (but got to meet Noah), and beat Illinois in a meaningless game in the first year it opened. Do I consider myself a jinx? Too small a sample. I did attend almost every game at Bob Devaney though including the last one (a victory over the Gophers) so there's that.

I got season tickets last year… so you don’t want to know my PBA record.

Oh...another thing...if I choose to wear my lucky underwear and shirt, it won't matter about anybody else's lucky charms or jinx's!

I watched that Gopher game at the Edina County Club in front of a bunch of mystified Goldy fans who couldn’t believe what they were seeing…

[colhusker]

Not sure I have seen them lose at Pinnacle, granted, games have been cherry picked during Christmas break when we play Our Sister's of Left-handed bearded druids.

I came to town and I caught 2 games the year Pinnacle opened. Mich St and Minnesota maybe? Honestly can't remember if we won. I feel we did. Can't wait until the Huskers are @ UCLA and USC because those will be my next Husker games...unless of course we make the tournament before then My advice - anytime you get a chance to see the Huskers live take it!

Huskers @ Pauley Pavilion as B1G rivals is already on my MUST see list before they scatter my ashes in the Republican River.

We beat everyone except for Michigan at the buzzer in year 1

So what’d you decide?

[Handy Johnson]

Hope you were THERE! Kent made it sound like it was the greatest game he’d ever witnessed…

Well, did you 'do it'?

 

 

[Bugeaters1]

I'm 3-0 at PBA, Western Illinios, Seaton Hall, Iowa ( 2018-19) 93-91 overtime win.

All -- I watched on TV with my brother and screamed at the television. My kids laughed at me. It was glorious.
