GET DEMORNAY INVOLVED MORE ON OFFENSE




DAMMIT WHY WE GOTTA RUN FANCY PLAYS JUST RUN THE BALL EVERY DOWN

Great, we outscored them by 4. We were losing at half to a team with inferior talent. Northwestern didn't show us anything different. We got out worked. If this team wants to turn the corner, playing down to the bottom half of the big 10 needs to be something of the past.

Weather was clear and COLD. We all had three layers on, except my wife, she had four layers on because I gave her my Nebraska parka. At hotel computer with coffee posting.

Before the kickoff Northwestern was HIGH emotion. I said Nebraska had better be ready because it looks like Northwestern is coming out with some fire. Of course, Nebraska stunk up the first half.

What a way to start the game. A little kid broke onto the field before the first snap by Nebraska. Not sure if you all saw that. He was wearing 51 and looked to be maybe 6? Looked like his Mom was a bit frantic on the sideline when she saw her son out there.
Northwestern changed up the field

The student section and band section was moved this year to the southeast part of the stadium. That broke up the visiting team ability of the fans to make that part of the field to loud. Like Nebraska did in 2012 when the fans forced Northwestern into silent count.

They flip flopped the sides. In 2012, the Nebraska team was on the east side, this year, the Nebraska team was on the west side, which was my side. I have some what might be good pictures of Nebraska TDs. The Tommy Armstrong pass TD was rigth in front of me.

Nebraska has better looking cheerleaders than Northwestern.

Lots of Nebraska fans in attendance. I initially thought it was about 50 50 but I think it was more like 60 40 Northwestern.

At 35-17, Northwestern fans began leaving. At 38-17, Northwestern fans emptied the stadium. It was just about all red.

We went to Bat 17 restaurant bar. If you go to a game, and need food, I highly recommend the food, it was very good and a HUGE selection of beer. It was probably a 20 block walk back to the stadium from there.

No idea on the status of the Northwestern player injury. There were a lot of people around him. They never showed a replay of the hit, but it did not look that violent of a hit to me. Initially, they brought a cart out for him, but that stopped halfway on the field and then they brought a gurney out. He did put up his right hand in saying he was okey dokey.

Nebraska players showed class by wishing him the best and doing a prayer thing on the field. Pelini also went over to the pile and talked to the pile or something.

Not sure what is going on with Gregory. He was a non-factor. When they benched him and put in Gangwish and Kevin Williams for Valentine, there was some fire. Matter of fact, the four man rush did absolutely nothing to Northwestern.

What the hell was that time out right before Maliek Collins sacked Siemian right in front of us? Did Papuchis or Pelini call that?

Fourth Quarter Nebraska looks really good. Which is a good sign, no quit in the Huskers.

As usual, not very good cell phone reception in the stadium. The Northwestern people behind me with Verizon had four bars, but I only had two, and I am Verizon also. Just not Evanston area code.

I will post pictures later. Probably much later.

Wanted to add one more thing, you CANNOT bring in OBVIOUS signs. I had made three signs because the sister in law wanted signs. They had to be chucked at the gate. Lesson learned, next time I bring in fold uppable(new word) signs.

The kid was the T-boy. He was supposed to retrieve the kicking T but it had gotten moved around on the return and he couldn't find it.

LOL @ pimpin' California, N. Illinois, and Minnesota to make this look like some kind of elite win.

Against a Top 15 team Nebraska is not only down 3 at half, they're down 23 or more.

And there you go again, not one person thinks it is an elite win. You were making it sound like N.W. was so bad they should not even field a team.
And check the score on that Top 15 team at the end. Last time I checked football is played all four quarters.
Dude you should find another team because it is clear you hate Nebraska.

 

[Neb4life]

If I hated Nebraska, I would have flown the coop a long time ago. No, I am just one of those fans who's expectations have not diminished. I expect a coach in his 7th season to show some sort of improvement. Not get beaten by the same thing time and time again. I definitely expect Nebraska, 2 weeks after once again shitting the bed, to come out and clown stomp NorthfuckingWestern from the get go.

I support the team by spending thousands of $ buying tickets, apparel, online memberships on their website and I am loud when I attend games. Criticism never hurt anything but feelings. Not really concerned about those.

If we win the rest of the games this season, I would be wrong. Could care less if I am wrong and the team wins. Trust me, I hope, all the time, that I am wrong. I'm not a fan for vindication purposes.
