Super Official Nebraska/Akron Game Day Thread.

I agree. You put as many points on the board as possible. As much as I dislike Barry Switzer his line of " let's hang half a hundred on 'em by halftime" his great. Huskers need to start beating teams into submission. Just this old man's opinion.
Traditions don't seem to mean diddily-squat any more.
Scarlet and Cream uniforms? Optional.
Red Balloons every game day? Environmentally unfriendly.
A BHF super-official opponent thread WITHOUT a cheerleader pic?I guess not.
Geez, is nothing sacred anymore??!!?
Yes...Runzas and Valentinos still rule.
What I inferred from it is that we need to prepare for very tight games and be prepared to keep battling for all 4 quarters. Not that every game will be that close. Just be prepared.
An opinion I share. When you get your opponent on the ropes, knock their a** out.
Is he walking? Oh, sorry...we Nebraskans have to prep the covered wagons and horse teams.
This is the perfect opportunity to work on the kinks from game one. Score early, score fast and score often. Get the starters out healthy and get some valuable game time for the backups.
We should win these next two games easily no matter how vanilla the play calling will be.
I can remember sitting in Cessna Stadium watching Wichita State lose to the Zips back in the day. If the Huskers don't hang a significant win this week I'm gonna be incensed!
As the now-retired Lee Corso would say, NOT SO FAST, MON FRERE! Or something like that.
Akron took an early lead on Ohio State last year and kept it relatively close to halftime (17-3). They "only" lost 10-0 last week (Wyoming is apparently not very good). It should be a relatively easy win, but might look a bit more methodical than an avalanche of humiliation, unless the Huskers REALLY snap in to focus and decide to throw yolo bombs every play just to shut people up about the dinking and dunking of the Cincinnati game. But I think* there will be more fine-tuning than that, and could end up looking like the Northern Illinois game from 2023 or UNI last year where you go home with an efficient win that's never in doubt.
*yes, it hurt to do so.
