Ohio State (10-7) vs. Nebraska (9-9) Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

Sitting at the computer bored, So I thought I would get the game thread up and going. Enjoy some Santana from Woodstock in 1969.

Feels as close to a "must win" at this point in the season as you can get

I love seeing a pre-Journey greg rollie covering carlos' vocals there. dude had himself a career....

[cipsucks]

Carlos about 10 years later.  Huskers need this as a theme song...

I assume Ohio State flies into Lincoln tomorrow.  If the snow is significant, wonder what attendance will be?  Maybe Barfknect will be there to give us a retired reporter's estimate. 

[hhcmatt]

The updated scuttle is that Sammy will play, Juwan Gary is probably out for a while (if not the rest of the season), and that Keita's ankle is still banged up.  For Keita I think that means he's available but he's likely to be ineffective.  If Walker and WB get into foul trouble it might mean more Oleg than KB.

Yeah, Blaise has looked totally out of sorts since his return.  It doesn't count, but I vote that he doesn't play until he is 100%.  I am good with Oleg picking up five minutes each half.

I really hope lack of effectiveness is injury related and that somewhere in there is a guy who one day we can put on the court for 20+ minutes.

About ten minutes ago, the weather rolled into Lincoln.   Rain, sleet and ice falling right now.  Game travel may prove interesting as it coincides with post-work travel (rush hour is really not a thing in Lincoln )

The weather is always in Lincoln (and pretty much everywhere).  I've yet to hear the weather person say "tonight zero percent chance of weather".

It has snowed, freezing rain, fog and now rain. waiting for the 2  inchs an hour snow to start in Trumbull. Had to take the wife the work this morning, she is afraid to drive my truck.

Pretty likely this will be a poorly attended game given that even if Lincoln is relatively untouched by the snow that anyone that has to travel over an hour is likely to say no.

Thus it looks like I'm going to easily be able to score some cheap tickets and take the whole family. 

 

(update: even with fees one can score 300 level tickets for $3/head and sit wherever)

Kent will be there
