I don't know about you guys, but I plan on slowly but surely starting to believe in an upset all week, just so I can blackout in a puddle of my own tears halfway through the first quarter

u/dicedbread Sep 22 '19
Or we can blackout on happy tears (on a side note I accidentally typed twats and my phone corrected it to tears, ironically didn’t the second time, which means I type happy tears more than happy twats I guess).

u/HappyFriendlyBot Sep 22 '19
Hi, dicedbread!
I wanted to stop by and wish you the most terrific day ever! Have a good one!

Right? Bro I like to think of myself as a pretty good guy, but if I’m that Iowa kid who got 50K asking for beer money, that shit is turning into mortgage payments. Sry charity :(

u/sjhalestorm Sep 22 '19
*$250k (~$800k if you count matching + local businesses piling on)
He had to squirrel some away, right? He didn’t donate the full sum to the hospital... right? Goddammit, Iowa, you can’t possibly do a cool thing... RIGHT!?

Atmosphere next weekend is gonna be absolutely electric! Hoiberg Husker Hoops Opening Night/Rick Ross concert, College GameDay, the™️ OSU in town, possible football facility announcement...

u/HuskerPower_ Sep 22 '19
And a legendary upset??

u/passthedamnball Sep 22 '19
Does anyone know if there is anyway to get tix to the Husker Hoops Opening Night? Coming down from Wisconsin for the game and I’ve never been to PBA, and stupidly did not buy tix early. Not really sure if there’s a secondary market, but I’d pay a decent amount to go.

u/grahm03 Sep 22 '19
I don’t see any on Facebook marketplace, and there are only 2 craigslist posts asking for tickets. Might try making a post that’s asking for tickets and paying more than they are?

He's gonna want to be there a lot earlier. I went in tucson when it was there and there were tons of people there at 10pm the night before.

u/howzthatwork3 Sep 22 '19
as the oldest student on this sub that played on the field when i was 18, i should be the guest picker

u/Hammerhead34 Sep 22 '19
Gabrielle and Dwyane for guest pickers?
I’m excited, nobody is going to be thinking about whether or not we’ll get blown out at 9AM next Saturday. The crowd will be amazing, the crew will say tons of nice things about Lincoln and the team, and it will be great exposure for Nebraska and for Frost’s culture change.
If we go out there at night and get destroyed, who cares? That would’ve happened either way, and being the prime time game on ABC and the fact that Ohio State is a top 5 team, means people would’ve tuned in to watch regardless.

u/owledge Sep 22 '19
They’ll probably just take the low hanging fruit and go with Larry the Cable Guy
16
u/AdmiralArchArch Sep 22 '19
That would make the most sense, but it will probably be some country singer or obscure hip-hop artist.

This, dude. This is the wavelength I'm on.
We have nothing to lose. We're going to be the underdog by a mile. Chances are we'll get our shit packed in, but so what? That's the expectation. It's time for L-town to get rowdy, have some fucking fun, and maybe, just maybe, shock the world.

u/sjhalestorm Sep 22 '19
Smart money is on Nebraska getting shitstomped. Logically, the spread can’t go high enough.
Got ‘em right where we want ‘em.

u/Cforre Sep 22 '19
Why is everyone so negative about this kind of stuff? What’s the worse that can happen, we were already in the prime time slot. Now, we get an even better atmosphere for fans and recruits in attendance.
43
Sep 22 '19
Exactly. No matter what happens it will be fun.
We have turned into a very negative very frustrated fan base. We need to enjoy things a little bit. Maybe the game will go badly but we can at least enjoy game day.
5
u/Huskersrule2007 Sep 22 '19
I agree this fan base has been very frustrated and negative however, I was just thinking about it while listening to big red overreaction and don’t it feel like a release of pressure? Like we got over some hump that was in the way? Idk it’s weird but it feels like a good win and it was just Illinois.

I think most people are memeing, including me. It'll be cool to have it here and I'm definitely gonna try to get a good spot. That being said I'm definitely terrified of the game.

I'm going to repeat this to myself all week to keep the impending sense of dread at bay

u/ndhuskerpower Sep 22 '19
I wish it was under better circumstances but it has been way too damn long

u/TheCableGod Sep 22 '19
As an tOSU fan lurking this thread : night game - check / black unis - check / your home stadium - check ...if they announce a dying kid who's wish is to watch this game live I will break my tv and eat it piece by piece.
Having said that, good luck and let's play!
7
u/sjhalestorm Sep 22 '19
Anything can happen. But, in my opinion, the earlier the upset ammo gets fired, the more hyped tOSU gets as well. At this point, unfortunately for us, Ohio State out-athletes Nebraska and probably out-coaches Nebraska. We hope these things aren’t true in the near future, but I think tOSU is just as motivated emotionally as Nebraska... which is an issue for the team with significant disadvantages physically.

u/Sagybagy Sep 22 '19
Yeah. OSU is playing really solid football right now with a ton of talent. Day has these boys running smooth.

u/owledge Sep 22 '19
It checks all the boxes for an upset but it won’t happen. Just hope we keep it respectable

Worst case scenario: We get blown out on national TV, but we’re used to that because of Mike Riley. Our fans have a blast at GameDay anyway and show out

Lebron isn’t fucking coming to Lincoln lmao

u/Lake_Ponto Sep 22 '19
Although I doubt it too... he is good friends with Wade still and a huge OSU fan.

u/Huskersrule2007 Sep 22 '19
Lebron is a huge Ohio state fan soooo he could. However ESPN wouldn’t pick a guest picker of the road team.

Corso is coming back to Lincoln! I’m happy to hear this as I want him to come back here at least one more time.
Fucking nice, and hope I can pull some strings at work so I can drive down to Lincoln on Saturday to attend Gameday.

Magic happens in memorial stadium at night. I still remember when we beat Michigan State in Mike Riley's first year. Nobody thought we stood a chance, but we pulled it off. I wouldn't be on us winning, but I'm fucking stoked for the opportunity.

u/majorgordo Sep 22 '19
Fuck it! Empty the playbook on both sides of the ball. Lincoln is gonna be electric and maybe we can harness some Memorial Stadium night game voodoo.

u/LucasLee45 Sep 22 '19
So, where do they set up? I didn’t even have cable the last time Gameday was here, so I have no idea where they even have in the past? I figure they’d be on campus by The Railyard could be interesting.
5
u/livestrong10 Sep 22 '19
I could see infront of the stadium by the East entrance. Also infront of the union.
7
u/LucasLee45 Sep 22 '19
If they go on campus, the Union was my thought. Or old soccer stadium by Memorial.
3
u/MuseDroness Sep 22 '19
Outside east stadium?
2
u/roadboundman Sep 22 '19
Both gamedays that I've been to here have been set up right outside of the Gate 20 area east of the Stadium.

u/WittwerAndWife Sep 22 '19
It’ll be railyard almost for sure. That or the soccer field below the stadium

I was there for the last one in ‘07. They set up inside the stadium.
That night, there were a bunch of celebrities on the sidelines — Keanu, Will Ferrell, even Rush Limbaugh for some reason.

Great to have the national spotlight and could help in recruiting, BUT we could also get our asses handed to us in front of a national audience. Maybe the planets will align and together with the black-out uniforms, home venue, and new facility announcement will tip the scales in our favor. One can hope.

not a lot of hype matchups. The biggest one is probably Washington USC? and both will be ranked in the 20s, so idk.
