Anyon watch the nub spring game?
- Thread starter Fade-To-Black
- Start date
Nope, but I’ll tell you that no matter what happened, you’ll be getting the following: On this side of the state, it’s like clockwork from friends, family, and coworkers. Nebraska is coming, and everyone better be ready. The peak of the offseason natty is about to hit. All summer, from Omaha radio and clowns around Western Iowa, we will hear about 10+ wins and blackshirts being handed out and how everyone outside of OSU is very beatable on the schedule. Plenty of that is already on Twitter today.
Looked like about 80% full on btn. Raiola looks good.
Balloons were released?
I think they release balloons when they score or something?
I believe Debbie has gone 4-8 in their last 12 spring games.
Nope. I preferred to spend that time digging dandelions out of the lawn with tooth picks.
Spring Games are nothing but a marketing campaign. Everyone “looks good” when the defense isn’t allowed to hit the quarterback.
Yep I charted every snap. You can read my breakdown here.
I think I'd rather have a root canal followed by a trigonometry exam. Spring ball is just for show and means nothing. But that won't stop little debbie from inflating the results and screaming "we're back".
Thought I had heard they had stopped that balloon tradition, reportedly for environmental reasons. However, we all know it’s because it was embarrassing having to wait so long for a Nebby score to release them! 😉
Yeah, hadn't been sleeping very well due to having a chest cold. I'll tell you what, not even the hacking cough could hold off the sleep after putting that game on. Also heard doctors have been telling those with IBS to stop digesting anything Corn related. So it's a gain with a loss. Take your pick.
Did they really have 0 draft picks?
I think Rutgers had cornerback Max Melton a few picks behind Cooper.
You're right. Minnesota and Michigan ST also had guys taken.
You are correct.....they tried to hide behind some world-wide helium shortage story to make themselves look like the good guys for stopping it.
What was actually happening is that the flow in and around the concession stands and the bathrooms at half-time became way too jammed up with everyone trying to get their runza's and operate their zippers with a big red balloon under their arm.
They were just going to expand the concourse to accommodate this since they didn't see it stopping anytime soon, but then the helium story became available and they just ran with it.
Yes, at least not negative right?
Oh yeah he was. He was the dude Deac threw to when they played at Kinnick last fall. We were driving and down at the 10 or 15 and Deac throws a crappy ball toward Brown I believe it was and Melton picked it. Drive over.
lol. wut?
The balloons were for kids. I assure you, kids carrying balloons causing congestion in the concourse was not an issue. The medical issue IS an embarrassing one for the University - we were using a resource that's becoming quite precious and instead just wasting it on balloons that end up as trash in fields. The actual story is good enough to give UNL shit over it - no need to make things up.
Unless that post was tongue in cheek in which case, ignore me.
Huge helium find in northern Minnesota just within last few months I believe I saw that story. Somewheres around the iron range area up der.

But, hey. It must be noted that 75% of those losses were within one score.
So they’ve got that going for them
Which is kinda nice.
Except when we had DH and BF, we still didn't look good on offense during the spring...
Sorry my sarcasm meter is broken these days. Its hard to tell when a lot of folks are becoming genuinely unhinged.
Nebraska fan after spring game…..

Hot fvcking garbage.

The same reason Iowa would have been an attractive option were they not already in the conference. A consistently top 15-20 most watched team on TV.
