Super Official Nebraska vs Illinois Game Thread.

[Uenth]

I was out-and-about running errands in my van listening to Big Ten Radio on Sirius. Honestly, their morning crew has never impressed me. They are not every well informed and spend most of their time gushing about Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, and Penn State.

But with our game on tonight, they were talking about tonight's Illinois-Nebraska game and got a chuckle out of me One of the guys remarked that Nebraska has one of the most passionate fanbases in the country. The other guy said, "If you don't believe us, the game is at 8:00 EST tonight and the Huskers' pregame radio show is already on!"

Yeah, I love that game day pretty much lasts all day, regardless of what time the game is played. And afterwards, we rehash it ad nauseam. It's all good stuff!!!

Well for some of us it does. I'm trying to get my internal clock to go back to normal but it's a slow process. A couople of years ago, it was 3 or 3:30. Today it was 4:30. WOO HOO!

I'm pleased to say that I met one of my childhood friends for coffee and dessert (cheesecake for me). So I've swilled 2 extra cups of coffee plus my normal 24 oz iced tea. I may be awake for the entire game tonight. No problems though, the Mighty Men of Corn have this with or without my root, root, rooting for the home team!

GO BIG RED!!!

Coach Osborne really looked his age on TV.

Yes, he does. Sad to say. One of a kind.

Eventful first quarter. Defense needs a few more takeaways. Need to get some hands on those passes at the line of scrimmage.

D looks like trash! Wtf

 

[SalinaHusker]

Still can't believe we got a QB that can make these throws. Almost unreal after all the turnover machines of our recent past.

 

[KansasRed]

I actually thought Dylan was throwing that one away! What a throw and WHAT a catch!

D looks like trash! Wtf

The offensive line isn't exactly blowing anyone away either.

Win or lose, not a ĝood game. Coaching wise. Disappointed in the defense.

 

[justino52]

Well that sucked. Penalties. Kicking game. Turnovers. Cost them 21 points.

 

[KansasRed]

Somehow I expect this but I tried to believe.

 

[JeopardyHusker]

What a bunch of crap. Both the offensive and defensive lines stunk up the stadium. Illinois' offensive line created holes my grandmother could have run through.

 

[Dave]

Defense sucked, nothing out of the dline. Defensive schemes were just bad. Disappointing. Still aways to go. Love White, but really bad game plan.

 

[KansasRed]

The saddest thing is, we had the game won before we tried to get cute.

But I was surprised at how we folded in overtime.
