Nearly everyone not still protesting Gov Walker here is stoked for tonight's game! Go! Bucky!

Well, you know, sir, I can't bad-mouth any opponent of ours.
The worst, the most vile, the most disgusting, thing I can say about Wisconsin is that it's a pretty good football team.
I have no prediction. It wouldn't surprise me if Wisconsin wins, and it would surprise me if Nebraska wins.
Other than that, I'm mum on the matter.

I just love the excitement. So many good Nebraskians are in town booking all the local lodgings and enjoying our fair city on such a beautiful fall day.
Plus, there's football.
Actually it is a very exciting year for Wisconsin sports.

I just got back from the neighbor's house. They were having a mid- and late-afternoon cookout, in preparation for the game tonight. Everybody's excited; our first Big 10 game (as a member of the Big 10).
Then I came back here, because everybody's going to watch it on television, and television doesn't rock my chair, row my boat, push my buttons. I plan to just watch the scoreboard on the Omaha World-Herald site, and get the details in the Sunday morning newspaper.
Go Big Red. Win or lose.

My g/f works on State St. and she reports that Nebraskans were having a great time all day.

They probably are.
I hope she finds us agreeable too.
Anyway.
Illinois 38, Northwestern 35.
I thought that was a "rivalry" game that took place at the end of the season, not near the beginning.
Penn State 16, Indiana 10.
Damn; don't like that.
Michigan 58, Minnesota 0.
Michigan State 10, Ohio State 7.
Damn; don't like that.
Notre Dame 7, Purdue 0, in first quarter.
Nebraska-Wisconsin not underway yet, at least on the internet.
-
The Big 12 doesn't look especially exciting today. Apparently Missouri has the week off?
Texas Tech 45, Kansas 34.
Arkansas 42, Texas A & M 38.
Oops, don't like that.
<<am partial to Texas's little brother.
Kansas State 36, Baylor 35.
Oklahoma 24, Ball State 6, in second quarter.
Go Sooners.
Texas 20, Iowa State 0, in second quarter.
-
Nebraska-Wisconsin finally underway.
-
Oklahoma 31, Ball State 6, second quarter.
Go Sooners.

Nebraska 14, Wisconsin 27, second quarter.

Well, well, well.
Nebraska 14, Wisconsin 27, half-time.
The problem here is that Nebraska, unlike Oklahoma, is not a "comeback" team.
I dunno why, but there it is.
-
Alabama - 24
Florida - 10
Sorry, just wanted to class this joint up a bit. :whistling:
-
Damn! Wisconsin has to get to 71 to end the game in a palindrome now!
-
Wisconsin has the big bold 'W' while Nebraska has that tiny 'N' I thought was a 'Z' at first.
'W' is the 23 letter of the alphabet. The number 23 is a hugely powerful number.
'N' is 14 which other than being 2 X 7 I'm not aware of much symbolic significance.
Both, however, add up to '5'.
For what it is worth which isn't much.
-
Nice rendition of Buttercup and touchdown Wisconsin!
-
My g/f likes the Nebraska mascot. I'm neither pro or con but did note that he reminds me of Marc's Big Boy.

Did you listen to Art Bell last night or something? :-)

Herbie Husker or Lil' Red?

In Nebraska's favor the N looks like the Hebrew letter Aleph, my favorite Hebrew letter meaning "ox" whereas W looks like the Hebrew letter Shin meaning "tooth. "

Dude! I live in Madison WI. I may be conservative but that doesn't mean "completely sane."
-
Herbie Husker or Lil' Red?
Li'l Red.
-
Instead of Glee Fox should just broadcast Badger fans singing from the stands. They were very good!
-
I always thought Herbie Husker was the superior mascot.

I don't follow football at all, but I enjoy college games more than pro ball. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but after the stink with the greedy teacher's union in Madison, I'm rooting for Nebraska.

If Wisconsin where as "progressive" in their football as they are in their other insanities the points would have been equally distributed. Or, he'll, I don't know, maybe they'd even go so far as to attempt to equally distribute the talent.
As crazy as Madison can look on TV from time to time, it is even crazier than. But, for the time being, we still do football right.
-
Well thank you Nebraska for coming out to enjoy our fair city on this lovely day. Better luck next week.
PS I don't follow college football much except to enjoy the Badgers a few times a season, so I didn't know or realize until tonight that Barry Alverez played for Nebraska. You did a great job of training him up that he left the Badgers much better than he found them.
The Badgers started to become a good team about the time I came to town around '93-'94. I was too new here to really appreciate it but I did appreciate what I could.
-
LSU won earlier today so we got a chance to watch the Nebraska game and the Florida game.
We're Bo Pelini fans. We rooted for Nebraska. I'll say this, Bo is a football head. He'll get them where they want to be. If not I'll be shocked.
The Florida Alabama game was dirty. On both sides.
Nick Saban pitched a fit that was highlight film for sure. :rotf: That was U G L Y. :-)
Still, it was a fast game, good to watch.
Stay loyal to your teams.
-
Well, well, congratulations, Duke, sir.
I refer back to my original comment that Wisconsin has a pretty good team.

Nebraska has a pretty good team too. They just may meet up again before long.

Well, we'll see.
But outsiders (i.e., non-Nebraska, non-Wisconsin) when jeering at Nebraska's debut in the Big 10 should pause to remember we went up against the big one first, the probable champion. We didn't start out with the weaker teams and progress up; we went after the strongest team first.
And so naturally it was pretty good odds we'd get clobbered.

If the enthusiasm of the fans is any indication, Nebraska will do great long term. And coming out against Wisconsin first at least brought the Nebraskans who made the trip a very nice weekend in and around Madison.
