Wiscy: 73 Cornheads: 70 2 in double figures for the huskers. I think we can totally beat this team, especially how good on the road we've been and how bad Wisconsin is this year. But I still don't trust this match up, they seem to have our number (not that we can't change that)

Excited about this guy. Yeah he should start early and put on some weight, but then again he's really similar to the slim reaper in body type, so maybe not too much. I swear to god, if we let him get stolen by iowa or creighton....again. grr I have a feeling we'll at least have a chance, with how good a recruiter Tim & Co seem to be

Tough to win this one away ..but I am starting believe after Illinois. Perhaps we take one at home, but not today. Purdue/74 Nebraska/61

Yeah I really couldn't fault the huskers for that loss. They were just on point as they always are, which unfortunately in a conference like the B10 is more common than not with a lot of our elite teams. Nice thing is, this kind of elite status seems to be fluid, with new teams entering every year. Only takes a great recruiting class or two, a good fan base (we have) and a bit of luck in the close games and you have a juggernaut in the conference. Big gain/reward in such a good conference. For example, you saw how meteoric the rises of mich a few years ago, Purdue, Iowa and Maryland were this year. It's totally possible for us, and I feel like the vibe us good here in lincoln. We're still shaking off demons of the past, but we've made a lot of progress down this road already.

This win will help the noise level Saturday, I suspect. A sweep of the state of michigan? That'd be a dream come true. Can we do it? Only if we stay in form like tonight. The crowd will be NO problem. We'll be rockin.

I really like the huskers right now...especially impressed with the Illinois game, but a top 4 team, even with the win at east Lansing 2 years ago. So, I mean, it could happen, but yet I'll go with the safe bet: Spartans: 74 huskers 64

Hawkbutts 83 Husks 65

Corn balls: 75 Catz: 74 I don't know how good this team is yet, but we aren't that great (at least they haven't convinced me yet) 6 conference wins is conservative, but I'll go for it.

Though unfortunately that's exactly what we said last year, to the the tune of "we'll make that run like last year in the next stretch of games", but it never really happened. I've seen flashes of brilliance from the team last year and even more this year, but not getting my hopes up. Love the optimism tho. That attitude is what our fan base needs to maintain.

I believe I'll be adopting your strategy as well. Much better than my paralyzing pessimism approach towards this game. I'm tired of getting dramatically let down every year. :'( With this new POV, I'll come right out and say I HATE uncle Ralph(creighton). Love the underhanded slap in the face to creighton and their fans, we all know full well they don't deserve our respect...

Skers 65 rams 71 they're like no. 40 Pomeroy. Idk but after that weakfest I'm not sure what to think. Miles teams usually bounce back tho. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

This is spot on. For example, Zierden knows exactly how to get open against Tai, to the point that Tai can't guard him. SURELY zierden isnt THAT good, is he? Or is he another one of those pasty iowa boys that always find a way to pummel us for career highs? #salty

Or, 4. The players were too sand-blasted from lack of sleep studying for their "four finals" such as they mentioned shields is. From experience they tend to really pile it on in december and frankly I feel teams need to be experienced and solid to get through the month unscathed. Right now a guy I live with as well as multiple friends and my little brother are going out of their minds with college work and finals, papers etc. Idk how much they'd put on the athletes and its no excuse for poor play, but it's certainly something to keep in mind.

and who is this long-name guy? Archidiachionniosnosoooo? what?

this is ugly

OMG. 20-0 run. I dont want the old nebraska back, please oh please

the crowd is SO quite. Gus: "this team is really well prepared". I can also see why the nova fans were upset they had to play in the small gym tonight...getting them early is ideal as well.

really like the work ethic ive seen so far. Ed especially is really in the trenches, i can APPRECIATE that

Man, is it just me, or are those red jerseys pure swag? lol I really like how they look. We look loose

deep as HELL, we are, sir. This is an exciting game, hopefully we can hang with them and keep it that way

yep. Idk if i like him so far, but perhaps he'll develop? we always say that tho. lanky white dudes.

Jake runnin' like a maniac tonight

Its here! great to have gus and wes tonight! #hype

Ok, so what's the problem? Is tim'so system not working, or like you said, was the pressure just too much? I don't want to put the guys down either and I'm sure it's not easy as I'm a student as well about to graduate. So of course I understand what they go thru day in and out to work hard. I just mean that in game it seems they give up or don't work together through hardship effectively...though in several games this year I've been very impressed with their effort; take for example the two Maryland games. Another thing that may have effected us besides the expectations was the charge rule change. The refereeing was sub par this year as we all know, though most of that may have been due to the rule changes themselves...we just don't get to the line as much as last year's, which gave us a lot of close wins, and I'm still not sure if that is a style of play problem, adjustment problem or simply the way it's being called now. Sorry if it seemed like I was disparaging the guys; but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely disappointed in how they worked this season.
