Purdue (14-1) vs. Nebraska (12-3) Game Thread

[49r]

Don't want another Oklahoma State situation.  Best to err on the side of caution.

Might be prudent to postpone this one. Attendance will be pretty crappy anyway if the snow doesn't abate tomorrow with the wind as forecasted. But that is the perspective of one who doesn't want to venture onto the front porch this morning.

Looks like everyone's snow guess's are going to be like me just a little short.

[Nighthawk]

I'll say 6 points and a foot of snow

[throwback]

Will the mighty Peacock network allow for a postponement, though? We'd hate to throw off their broadcasting schedule.

I'd forgotten it was on Peacock. Wouldn't really matter for the purposes time slots when it was shown.

I’m guessing Purdue will not want a postponement if they’re already in Lincoln for this very reason.

I'll let the reader decide if I'm portraying Nebraska or Purdue here

I just realized that the Chief's game on Saturday will also be on Peacock. If I happen to see a wild peacock running loose tomorrow, I promise to run over it with my snowblower. And lest we forget, the Ohio State game is scheduled to be on Peacock.

Peacock/NBC knows how to get a lot of new subscriptions, add Big Ten sports and NFL playoffs as an exclusive broadcast. Boom, the 'bird'-streaming subscription rate immediately tends to broaden over much of America.

I gotta admit I enjoyed watching the Natasha Lyonne homage to Colombo series 'Poker Face'

I'm subscribed to Peacock.  So having games on that network isn't bad for me.  Picture is so much better than football on Prime.

Think I watched one game on Prime.  They have some work to do.

So does the "I know how to get around subscriptions rate".

Crowd will be fine.  The ones who are there really want to be there.  Noise level will be high.

I had suspicions Kent's father bang a ranged with plumed birds.

Im guessing I'll have to wait and see if I'm going. Tix and Parking are over at my parents place...and residential streets will be the last to be plowed. My dad will not want to go if the streets suck and if it's super windy. I might just chill out at home to watch. 

[hskr4life]

Winds appear to die down into the teens with gusts near 20 tomorrow afternoon/evening.  So not as strong as morning.  Hopeful we have a good crowd.  We didn’t get much here and if Lincoln is the same way, there won’t be a ton to blow around.

My back can attest to the heavy non-blowing attributes of this snow

[Silverbacked1]

Just saw a Tik Tok where a guy called his peacock a chicken in drag. Thought that was funny
