2025 Offseason Cornhusker Cornucopia

I saw something on X today that made me shake my head: Nebraska's losing streak vs. ranked teams is 27. The next worst in the B1G is Northwestern, at 11.
Look at our NFL draft picks the past decade. Look at our draft numbers versus fellow B1G teams like Iowa and Minnesota and Illinois and ... and ... and ...

Rhule has been stockpiling -- and developing -- the vast majority of his three recruiting classes at Nebraska. When the players on the field get better, so do the results.
 
Maybe I'm WAY off base, but I look at 'The Most Toxic Fanbases' list and scratch my head.
Iowa #1??? Yikes, where'd the heck did THAT come from?

I've always viewed Hawkeye fans as your classic, fair weather fans. A decent fanbase when they're winning and 'out the door' when they're not. I'm guessing their ranking has to do with the venom surrounding Kirk's son when he was the OC. But that stuff goes on with every fanbase. How did we feel about Satterfield as our OC?

When I hear the word, TOXIC, I think of pure evil. I think nasty. I think hateful. I think taunting. I think of destructive type of fan behavior. In the NFL, people always point to Philadelphia and Eagles fans. In CFB, that's Colorado (long before Coach Prime), Miami, and Wisconsin---and those fanbases weren't even on the Barstool Sports list.
 
I don't know if it deserves it's own thread, but we need to start a movement for Will Compton to do a "Pump em up" video on the big screen to the home crowd. Right before the music starts for the tunnel walk. Make our house come alive like no other.
The movement can start here at BHF.
If you haven't seen Will Compton cut a video with a pre game speech, stop what you're doing and go watch one.
Chills down the spine.

Pretty sure he recorded a different pump up video for every home game that played before the tunnel walk this past season

Channeling my inner-innmc, here's a Husker classic from 2008: Henery's Kick and Suh's pick vs CU.

Yeah, I know, I know, we've posted the TV version and the radio+TV versions before. But I found this one this morning which is only the radio call. What makes this version different is that you get to hear the broadcast team's comments before Henery is asked to kick it (starting around the 4:00 mark.)

Greg Sharpe, Adrian Fiala, and Matt Davison were polite but you could tell that they were all three privately going "WTH?" with the decision to kick a FG vs attempting a 28-yard fourth down play.

I was at the game and we had some obnoxious joker in our section of the stadium who was loudly cursing Pelini for attempting a crazy FG. It's all of those "WTH?" moments that made the result all the sweeter.
