That's pretty big news. I don't think it had been announced that major stadium renovations are officially back on (just seatbacks in east and west), and Dannen is talking like it's all a go, including a "massive, massive" video board in South Stadium.

By 2027-28. Not sure if Dannen means that both seasons will be affected for '27 & '28, though. I'd imagine it will be staged construction procedure such that it will not be wholly imploded for South Stadium so that they can keep seating available during the process of re-working South Stadium. Just a guess on the seating idea.

It's one thing to see your team lose two favored games in a row.

 

It's another thing to go viral on social media and end up deleting your account tonight to avoid the wave of messages as you're watching your team lose to Boston College.

Well at least they're consistent.

 

Originally ruled a Virginia Tech touchdown. Overturned to an incomplete pass.

 

Originally ruled a Nebraska touchdown. Overturned to an interception.

Gutted out a solid Big Ten road game to pull away in the 4th quarter. Nebraska is 4-1. It's been a while since NU has had as good of a record as a 4-1 opening to the season. Let's keep getting better. On to a tough Rutgers team next weekend in Lincoln. GBR

Good to be 4-1.  Lot's of stuff to fix; but a good road win.

Our next three opponents are undefeated.
 

Illinois is hanging tough with Penn State. That Colorado win is also starting to carry a little bit of weight!

Just wanted to say that whatever over-the-top hype Raiola is receiving, it might not be enough. The throws he's making and the command of the offense for someone who's played 5 games is off the charts.

 

I think I saw he's drawn 12 or 13 defensive pass interference penalties mostly on those underthrown back-shoulder throws this year. That's just silly accuracy. And no picks that were his fault. His passes nearly always end up only in a spot where his guy can get it or no one gets it. Just amazing.

 

And John Bullock deserves to be an all-Big 10 player. He won't get it unless we win a bunch more games, but he is playing at an incredibly high level.

The number of times he's dropped a ball into a very tight space where only the receiver can catch it is amazing. Sure, we've seen better at some of the top programs. But we haven't seen anything like this in decades. Embrace it while we have it.

No need to bowl in volleyball, but can't wait to post this in the volleyball thread in 3 sets.

Fun day to spank Bucky Badger into submission, both on the gridiron and on the volleyball court. GBR!!!

I can't decide if our D is that bad... or if Illinois O is better than advertised.  They are 4-0 for a reason. With that being said... kind of takes a little wind out of our sails. We'll learn from it, I hope, and still very confident in making a bowl game at the bare minimum.

Wellllllllll… we reached bare minimum. I feel…. Nothing. Not mad, but not overly excited either.

Still have an opportunity to hear the media change the narrative from "Haven't been to a bowl game in eight seasons" to "Haven't had a winning season in nine seasons."

Mean while in Columbus this happened.

I know some may disagree, but the use of pepper spray here was, I believe, justified. The situation was completely out of control, a few people including law enforcement were on the ground getting trampled, and the teams needed to be separated.

 

But hey, I’m glad captains probably shook hands at the coin toss.

I have seen UNC and NC St. had a fight at midfield. And ASU and Arizona had a dust up as well.

That's not the only fight today after a flag at midfield. The schools should start getting fined for this. It's petty and weak.

[Huskerpapa]

Four plays!  Four flipping plays!!!

 

Okay, moving on.  I have never been a fan of hand shakes before, or at the end of games.  It serves no purpose.  Feelings are disingenuous at best.   We witness the worst, all to often.   Sportsmanship is displayed by the actions taking place during the action, not by handshakes before or after the actin.
