Hopefully it's a solid win.  Badgers are looking downright scary,  atm.

I predict that tonight, rather than having simply a First String and a Second String of our O-Line, we will see a little substitution of a 2nd Stringer (or possibly more than one) playing some downs with the First String (and not simply due to injury).

This is fun. The Cornhusker Marching Band walked up to a high school football game in Rochester, IL last night.

I grew up 10 miles from there and my nephews have played Rochester many times.  They are a powerhouse in their class in the state of Illinois.  

Here is a link to the full performance.  High Hopes was definitely the fan favorite.

Moiraine is in eastern Europe and wont be joining us tonight.  She sends her regards.  Hopefully, the offense will sustain drives and stop hanging the defense out to dry.

As for tonights game, I will be cheering on Nebraska loudly.  It appears the rain may hold off until after the game is over which would be nice.

I'm thinking we will see the staff try some additions to see if the OL can improve.

I look for Adrian to have that game that we all have been waiting for, partially due to the emergence of Wandale and that receiver transfer from California. (Noa)

Expect to see JoJo Dohmann have a big 10 linebacker kind of day today too.

And finally get a Blackshirt....

I expected someone to say "What, move slow, always be behind on shallow crossing routes and miss easy tackles!"  heh heh.....not sure why, but during one game last year I kind of picked him as my rising star.

Considering the offense only had two 3 and outs last week, maybe the offense is improving in that regard. However, don’t expect Frost to apologize for “scoring too quickly”.

If he didn't chew, I suspect I'd have my first and only man crush...but that kills it.  Dude is the real deal for sure.

Well, sure.  Quickly scoring seven is the best outcome.

Is she expecting to have any hush-hush phone calls with our President?!  LOL
