One Frame At A Time: Nebraska

When it is cold and the game is boring, this mute spectator giving a handlessly handjob to the brisk November air is the perfect metaphor for this game. It is as if to say “I am here and doing something resembling cheering whilst not at all being happy that I am here.” The frown indicates anger, I think? But we’re winning and she’s motioning like one might when they are excited for the following play. The friend does not at all help my immature mind think about this image in a mature manner.

Anyway. This was a difficult game to clip. Not much exciting going on and Mickey Joseph did not gift me multiple outrageous facial expressions, so I had to find gifs elsewhere. Am I the only one who misses Scott Frost? This game could have used some Scott Frost drama. C’mon Nebraska, you could have suffered through the rest of the year for the sake of our gifs thread (and saved millions of dollars!). But alas, we have to squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of our Frostless gifs.

10. Banana For Scale

RGIII had way too much fun with the banana. He must not have young kids who have dragged him to every minions movie because he seemed to not understand the correlation between minions and bananas. Also, respect to the friend who leans back to get out of the beginning of the panorama.

 

9. Stepped In Gum

It’s the only reasonable explanation for the ref’s shoe sticking to the ground like that while the ref himself hits the turf yards away.

 

8. Giovanni El-Hadi, The Ventriloquist

I’m unimpressed. Gotta be drinking gatorade at the same time or something. I think I could see his lips moving.

 

7. Peek-A-Boo

I have no idea who this is. A recruit? Can’t find him on the roster. Regardless, his inquisitive look at the signs like “ah yes, a tank” just gets me rollin’.

 

6. Heisman-Reel Pile Push Of The Week

The people who tackle Corum eventually aren’t even the DL. It’s basically one LB and our entire offensive line that actually gets Blake to the ground. There’s just nothing anyone else can do.

 

5. People Being Upset Part 1

When mad, Brad Robbins looks like Doctor Eggman and you cannot convince me otherwise.

People Being Upset Part 2

Saw this live and immediately thought it would make a great gif. Did not disappoint.

 

4. Ronnie Bell Is Great At Red Light Green Light

I want to see Bell beating a class of Kindergarteners in red light green light now. There’s an NIL opportunity in there somewhere. Anyone know anyone with MDOT?

 

3. Are We Suuuure There’s No Relation To Brandon Graham?

He’s Brandon’s long-lost California relative. Or something.

 

2. RGIII Had An Entire Freeze Frame To Figure Out Where The Play Was Made

But he was like “no, no, no, this was all on the running QB. Nothing other credit needed. Nothing to see here. Just an athletic play from an athletic QB. I would know because I ran a lot as an athletic QB. We’re the most important players on the planet and nothing else matters.”

 

Frame of the Game: Mike Sainristil, AKA Fat Ann Arbor Squirrel

Because he was targeting the nuts.

Had to go with Mike Sainristil, AKA Fat Ann Arbor Squirrel, in part because of the "targeting the nuts" line. Bravo!

But that is such a great clip on "Holy Blocking Batman". That's just a wall of big offensive linemen completely sealing off the defense. Beautiful.

I'm quite honestly surprised that he popped right up after getting lifted up by a helmet to crotch, followed by a helmet to the lower back/glutes, then finally landing on his neck
