Super Official Huskers vs Hoosiers Game Week Thread

It was a really FUN time on campus this afternoon. The actual location of the event was in front of EAST stadium. They drew a good crowd for the event and Coach Rhule made a guest appearance.

After the event, Will and Taylor hung around and signed autographs and took selfies. My son joined me and he got his football autographed by both of them and Will and I had a chance to pump each other up. :) My son still hasn't stopped laughing about it.

Here are a few photos:

Yer son looks just like his mom.
 
It's been a quiet couple of days. "The calm before the storm" I guess.

I'm heading off early tomorrow for the wild pregame at the Railyard down in the Haymarket. (I don't give a crap about Fox's Big Noon crew outside the Student Union.) I'm expecting a really ramped up Sea of Red for tomorrow's game.

Hope the Shout box will be rocking like the stadium.

Famous last words: WE'RE DUE!!!
 
I can remember pregame jitters before another big Husker game back in 1977. We weren't undefeated then--we'd gotten upset by Warren Powers' Washington State game in our home opener that year. But, like today, we were home underdogs against a Top Ten team led by a "Walks on Water" grizzled, no-nonsense coach.

The thing I remember the most going into the match-up was wanting a win for Coach Osborne. The "He's no Bob Devaney" boobirds had grown really loud after the loss (and this was BEFORE social media's megaphone.) People were complaining that Osborne was in Year 5 at the Husker Helm without a 'Signature Win.'

I'm heading downtown this morning with my fingers crossed that history repeats itself today.

I remember FIL use to say that TO was a good coach but would never be a Bob Devaney. Boy, was he wrong on that one. Course he also said TO would never be able to beat OU at will, never would win the proverbial Big One and more. By the time TO retired, FIL was a huge TO fan.

My Dad was the same way, Uenth.

But unlike your FIL, he never changed (at least outwardly). My Dad lived long enough to see Osborne get a Natty but his assessment never mellowed much. In the end, his take on TO was, "He ain't too bad." :)
 
Betting line ends at 8.5 dog. Started at 9.5, went down to 7.5 and settled in at 8.5. The bettors are confused.
