Friday night under the lights, national TV, Penn State's future coach on the sideline, a 5 game winning streak on the line, a true budding rivalry (I'll put MN/NEB as our 3rd biggest rival, sorry old-timers trying to hang on to Michigan), and a huge directional game as far as the way our season is going to go. The difference between 5-2 and 4-3 is big.

This is a good Nebraska team, better than previous years. And I'm still not sure if we're good yet. We can't fall behind like did against Rutgers and Purdue and continue to expect to pull thEse games out.

We MUST and I repeat, MUST, come out with energy and not flat like Purdue. We have to find some muscle in the trenches, we must win the turnover battle and we need to be ready to battle.

Kenny Chesney concerts or not, both coaches badly want to pummel each other.

GET 'ER DONE FLECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 








How many times over the years have we had a team that we just knew was better than that year's wisconsin or iowa, and really believed we should win?

And in how many of those years did we have people here saying "well, until we beat them at their place..." etc. etc.

We have a 5 game winning streak against them.
We are at home.
We are in prime time on a Friday night.
They have not beaten a proven good team yet.

They are not going to beat us at our place.
 






I’ve been salty towards Nebraska since 9/17/83. I was at the Dome and watched the 84-13 destruction. Dad and I stayed to the end and I vowed that I’d relish every future win against them. 84, 89, 90, 2011, 2012…nope.

2013 I was finally rewarded with that W. We played so well that day. I loved it and I still love every dang time we beat them! It never gets old.

We need to raise our game tomorrow to win. OL and DL need to be tough. Whole team needs to play physical with no mistakes. Need that ground game to finally get going. Let’s get this W! I want to fire up You Tube late tomorrow night to see Corn Nation guy absolutely despondent with another loss to the Gophers. Glory be to the Maroon and Gold! RTBSUMGG!
 

Gophers might as well be the one to end the Nebraska is so back rumors once again
After reading the article on schools firing their current winning coach with expectations to "make the jump", I'm looking forward to bringing two programs back to the pack.
 



Definitely worried about our rush defense, Emmett Johnson really wanted to go to the U and has had this date circled all year.
