Thank goodness UNL prohibits alcohol at all sporting events or this could have gotten a little awkward tonight. I'm sure the OWH would have had some sort of beer counter spying Moos.

Thanks Norm! I did find the rumors in the other thread that was discussing this topic. I completely agree with your take and seriously, can anyone find fault with someone, allegedly, drinking excessively while watching Husker sports recently!

Huskers - 67 Badgers - 63 Moos sightings - 1 Moos cocktails - 8 (I found all the internet rumors, hope they aren't entirely true. Can't blame someone for needing to drink watching Husker sports recently, sans volleyball)

For those of us who aren't super adept to social media and all its ugliness, can someone summarize the nature of these rumors?

NU - 75 OSU - 65 14

We clearly haven't shaken enough couch cushions to find the $100K necessary to get them here.

Yes, this bugs me to no end with Miles. He has a propensity to try and let the guys figure it out because we are a veteran team. However, when you have no demonstrative leaders on the court, you are begging for things to unravel quickly as evidenced by the four 8-0+ runs. That is unacceptable against any team, let alone Rutgers, and is inexcusable on the coaching staff.

If these last 11 minutes don't improve, this is going to be a miserable next five days. We are just lacking composure.

We gave up an 8-0 run and a separate 15-0 run in the first half, yet we are still up five. If we can stop these mindless lapses and silly turnovers, we will win this game comfortably. Just need focus for a full 20 minutes in the second half.

Yeah, exactly and all the more reason to step on their throats now, extend the lead and get our starters out of the game early to get them some rest. It would be nice not to ride them for 35 minutes tonight.

WHOA...I'm calling foul on this. Somehow, @hhcmatt, five hours before tipoff, got a picture of Rutgers' arena 10 minutes before tipoff tonight. This is either witchcraft or some sort of jedi power that the rest of us could only dream to possess. I'm guessing the atmosphere tonight will only be marginally better than a funeral for a loved one that wasn't very well loved.

Nebraska 72 Rutgers 61

I hope we will look back on these final seven minutes as the moment we went from good to great!

NU - 75 Sparty - 71 "And the dancing begins waaaaaaaaay early in Lincoln"

Andy Katz will be in the house on Thursday to watch us hand Sparty their first conference loss of the year!

I will be investing 2 hours tomorrow to listen to Kent's call where he yells "dagger" and "bangarang"repeatedly while hoping he calls Indiana fans a bunch of "jackwagons". It will be a glorious two hours!

WE FINALLY FINISHED A ROAD GAME!!!!! Suck it Tom Crean (yes, I realize he is not their coach). It's time for a celebratory drink or ten. Woohoo...bring on Sparty!!!!!

This is exactly right. I believe Indiana is 10th in the BIG in rebounding margin. Further, Indiana is second to last in turnovers, where we thrive at creating turnovers (we are 1st in steals). On paper, our strengths/weaknesses match up very well with Indiana.

NU -74 IU - 70

A win is a win and I am going to need a drink after a win tonight. Good thing I didn't partake in the "take a shot game" for every offensive rebound we gave up.

Yes, it is evident Nebraksa has a side bet with someone to see how many offensive rebounds we can give up and still win. Our "want to" on the boards has got to be improved. Rebounding is putting your body into someone, boxing out and giving effort. We are failing miserably in that regard but doing awesome on that side bet.

This game certainly isn't inspiring confidence or making me think we turned a big corner so let's just get out of here with a win and move on to Indiana!

Exactly...the atmosphere is dead, no energy from the team or fans. Someone needs to make a hustle play and create a spark.

Now that's a school that needed to fire a coach! Can you imagine if Rutgers won 13 conference games last year or in any year....I bet they would give their coach an Iowa type lifetime contract. I am digressing though...let's beat Penn St. to quiet some of the irrational mob

Whatever shoes keep him engaged and assertive for 40 minutes is fine by me!!!
