I am.  I thought the same thing.  Kent might be going through male menopause...    

Well Jake just got a nice promotion at his real job...so maybe Kent is a bit hurt as a result

K & J may be having some issues behind the mic. Maybe well get a guest appearance by Markowski for a broadcast at some point. That'll be the proof something's up. By and large, though, those two get a long well.

6th chance. Let’s do this.

Someone said Boogie is no longer on the team. That he wasn’t on the bench Thursday. Of course, this someone was on Twitter/X so I don’t believe him

Message from church this morning, which is a message we have all heard:  You walk by faith and not by sight.  Abraham was promised a son at age 90, and Isaac was born when he was 99.  Almost as old as @jimmykc!  Point is, Huskers will do really well tonight, because the vast majority of people on this board walk by faith!

Paul Szelc, Owen Shortt, Don Dailey

I'm backing into this game.  I know we are capable of winning.  I know it!!!

BUT, I am going in with low expectations.   If we find a way...and win...I will go gaga and likely pass out.

Have we won at Illinois since joining the B1G?

[roscoe]

Going to do my best to enjoy this game. Probably won't happen but I'll take Cips good vibes and ride with them. Promised wife a margarita at local mexican restarant after Huskers win.

[cipsucks]

We'll get no calls but we'll still be in it.  Enjoy!  We just pull it out at the end.

From the Huskers.com article

 

Series History: Illinois leads the all-time series, 21-8, over Nebraska in a series that dates back to 1921. Nebraska is 6-14 against Illinois since joining the Big Ten, and the Illini have won seven straight meetings. Nebraska has won once in Champaign since joining the Big Ten, a 76-67 win on Jan. 16, 2016. Prior to Nebraska joining the conference in 2011-12, the Huskers and Illini had played only once since 1976 - a 100-73 Husker victory in the 1990 San Juan Shootout.

I do not see him on bench, but doesn’t mean he’s not there.

[hal9000]

Sit down Norm.

[Huskerpapa]

Hear we go again.  They get a T...now we are going to get ZERO calls.

[hskr4life]

Give him another one!  If he wants to act like a fool, send him to the showers early!

[roscoe]

Would rather see teams shoot 2's rather than 3's against us but really need to close out better .

Fran Con WARNING!!

[Vinny]

What’s he so upset about? I hope after the break he’s walking down the tunnel and out of here.

[Huskerpapa]

Good start though.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

KT off to a nice start. 
I like when we have Gary, Jo, and Mast out there at the same time. Can’t do it all the time but it’s a good front court 

[skerbball]

He was screaming at someone at the scorers table??

I think he wanted a foul on that drive on KT but he didn’t even touch the guy.

damn, underwood rolling the dice on an early "fire up" T....that might haunt him later
