Calm down Sally, i'm a Gophers fan for more than 40 years and we have always sucked and will always suck so it won't surprise me if we lose by 50!

I must have come off wrong. My comment was made tongue in cheek.

Not really. But it's a bit chilly outside and my left tittie nipple is a little chafed tho.


I cover mine with vaseline. Provides a nice protective layer. :thumb:

Minnesota is still one of the few teams that holds a series edge against Nebraska.....

I'll be there. Good luck guys, it should be a good game with national title implications

I think both teams are happy to have the other team on the schedule at the moment.

My confidence isn't too high, but Lincoln is a good trip

I'd agree PnkPanther with pretty much everything you said, including my confidence in Nebraska. hope you have fun at the game. Lincoln is a pretty special place.

Of course getting the prayer out at the beginning of the week has to help.

it's a constant improvement thing and i think the results are starting to come out on the field. they looked better against Purdue, then Wiscy, and then NW. they need to eliminate mistakes, find a pass rush, and cover better. 2 of those 3 i think they can do now, the pass rush right now seems like it will have to come through recruiting, some better timed blitzs would help but pretty much all from last Saturday were just too slow developing or didn't actually do anything.

I am already laughing at the people doubting us.

They are still learning Chinander's system, it takes time and reps to understand schemes, techniques, hell lining up properly. I can bet Nebraska's front seven hasn't line up right at least a third of the time this year. I've seen things improve but I believe these players will understand things a whole lot more after one season and another spring ball season.

Congrats guys


Game was disappointing from my viewpoint but had fun time. Husker fans got very quiet and nervous at 28-22, but our horrific defense continued.

2nd trip to Nebraska. I'll be back
