Can Nebraska fans ever embrace the concept of being in the underdog role for football?

March 9, 2021 by Leave a Comment

-Nebraska, right now, is an underdog. But fans don’t like that term, not at a university that’s won 5 national championships. But it’s been a long time since the last one, and you’ve been bad for a while. Can a program that’s viewed as ‘haughty’ by other programs out there accept the underdog tag?

-What’s wrong with being the underdog? It doesn’t have to be permanent. Fred Hoiberg will eventually want Nebrasketball to not be an underdog, despite their lack of success ever on the basketball scene.

-Also, Tom Allen just signed a long extension through 2027 at Indiana worth $4.9 million per season

Today is the 10-year anniversary of Nebraska’s last road game as members of the Big 12…what do Jake and Sip remember from it?

November 20, 2020 by Leave a Comment

-Nebraska lost to Texas A&M, 9-6, on November 20, 2010, in a game where the Huskers had 16 penalties compared to A&M’s.

-Sip was at the game…what were his memories? So much to go through, from Taylor Martinez’s phone call during the first half, to Ben Cotton getting grabbed in the private area, and so much more

-The guys take a dive on the whole season and also the disappointment of having to play Washington again in the bowl game that year

-Nebraska sits at 1-2 at the moment, and didn’t get a chance to play Wisconsin and possibly snap their 7-game losing streak, or have it extended to 8 games. -Is a win against Iowa next week enough to call it a successful season? Or do we still need to get to a certain record? A certain place they finish in the West standings….or maybe signs that things are getting better for next year? -More from Scott Frost’s Zoom conference on Thursday…

-We know that it’s hard from true freshman and guys making their first appearances to pick things up right away. Nebraska’s pace hasn’t been out of control fast, but it could still go slower

-Does Nebraska need to slow down the offense to avoid confusion and make sure plays are successful? To make sure guys know what they’re doing, to avoid that excuse?

Not many national analysts seem to believe in Nebraska for the upcoming season…where do Husker fans think they’ll finish in the West?

October 22, 2020 by Leave a Comment

-CBS Sports had several analysts go through their projections for the season, and the majority had Nebraska finishing 4th or 5th in the West, with one person saying they’ll finish 3rd, and one (Dennis Dodd) saying Nebraska will finish 6th, ahead of only Northwestern

-Minnesota was the popular pick to win the West…and Jake and Sip just aren’t sure about that, as a team that didn’t even really want to play this year. Will the Gophers be able to handle the target on their back? Will anyone run away with the division or not?

-Also—WHOA! Pat Chambers resigns from Penn State hoops. What the heck…
