Dream scenario to end the year is we beat Iowa, then they go on to narrowly upset a Ryan Day team in the CCG 9-8. Iowa AD takes the mic on the podium and says "today, we spell redemption B-R-I-A-N. And for clarification, F-E-R-E-N-T-Z" and hires him as HCIW
I just watched the Packers do some of the dumbest shit ever before missing a field goal and I have to ask myself. I have a finite amount of time on this planet and I actively choose to watch sports. I’m a fucking idiot.
Lady husks up 2-0 on Iowa and up 16-13 in the third after they fell behind early. Haven’t played good at all today.
My soccer team, who I literally worked for, is toxic and DirtBall will back me up on that. They missed the playoffs and their owner is a complete fuck. I’m not making this up, he is worse than that sentence. They also suck. I don’t have a baseball team, I cheer for the Blazers who are 3-9 and traded away Damian Lillard because they suck so much and the owner is accused (after the big owner died) of abusing a person and then!!!!! The packers are doing better today as they won went to 4-6. none of the top is made up.
Good tims being a fan of the Denver Nuggets, who are currently tied with the Timberwolves for #1 in the West. A situation very unlikely to change this far into the season already
Many, many people, some of the best people are coming up to me, sometimes crying, often grown men crying and saying "sir, AROOOOOO, sir!" Just wonderful to see, making Minnesota great again.
Damn the only seniors on the basketball team (according to Husk website so probably wrong) are Coleman, Allick, and Keisei. The fact Wilcher isn’t a senior is shocking. It feels like he’s played here since Doc.
Kind of crazy to see this considering when Nebraska played them you would have thought most of these teams were the equivalent of FCS West in NCAA Football.
This will regress a little bit as the season goes on but right now Nebraska gets 36% of the available rebounds when on offense, which is #50 in the country. We haven’t been above 25% in the Hoiberg era (highest rating was 298th last year) and haven’t finished above 30% since 2018. Would be ideal to keep that up so we can salvage the inevitable bricks we throw up in a handful of games this year.
I’ll be interested to see how non-P5 HC searches play out with those schools falling further and further behind, or at least it seems. The expanded CFP might help a little bit. Per quick googling, SDSU paid Hoke just under $1.3MM which Nebraska could match if White wanted to stay. Syracuse is another option, but what if the ACC keeps trending towards falling apart? Other than USC, I’m not sure how many P5 DC spots will be open. I guess since him leaving would be bad for the Husks I’ll bet on that.
I cheer for the Blazers (who traded away their best player in franchise history and are on a 6 game losing streak), unfortunately I’m here with you with the Huskers, and the Timbers have been mired in shit where they are about to sell the women’s team, Thorns, because of sexual allegations with a former coach and player. The men’s team fired their coach and the new one they hired has a history of misogynist comments AND he actively has been a shitty coach at every stop. Husker Basketball is the shining beacon of hope for my men’s teams. While I can agree with you that your teams suck, mine absolutely are just as much of a dumpster fire.
Even the USMNT has shown hope and progress and we all know the level of off the field shit with them too. There is never a non-dramatic day with sports. It’s one thing for them to suck, but they have been a constant ‘0 days since something dramatic has happened for no reason’ with EVERY team. Every single one I root for has been a blubbering mess off the field/court and on it.
His dad won Mid-States year end championship and his uncle won the Texas College Region and made the College National Finals Rodeo in the bulldogging. Toughness isn't an issue for that kid.
I can’t imagine having any kind of emotion of mad when it comes to thunderstruck, a sporting event playing it any capacity, and thinking it only belongs to you. Sweet Caroline & the wave are now off limits to everybody else.
These people on HuskTwitter are wild. They always show up on my ‘For You’ tab and I somehow still manage to be surprised at what I’m seeing. Usually when I post it on here it’s because I have to show anyone else and make sure I’m not the weird one for thinking their takes are WOAT. Obviously this is a very very stupid example but I’ve long said that the best thing Husker fans can do is “look in the mirror” and realize we’re not nearly at the level they think we are not only on the field but off the field. Maybe after that we’d make a legit effort to not be a bunch of clowns.
Normally that weird line would give me some hope, but it seems like Vegas hasn’t had a good read on Nebraska for like 10 years. I assume their models can’t account for the levels of dumb we display every week. The only sliver of hope I can think of would be the fact Iowa doesn’t have a QB like Maryland or even Wisconsin that can make some plays, and probably not even a RB at the level of an injured Allen. That said, their D and ST will be the best we’ve seen all season which doesn’t bode well.
I know one of them is a zombie and another was a failure, and I know it makes me look like a Husker Twitter Guy, but I can't help but like seeing this.
Brandon Drumm of OU Rivals is now flipping his Brix prediction from OU to Nebraska as well. Said OU faded dramatically in the last few days
