HAHAHA!!!
Nebraska already in mid-season form!
But who is hitting harder?
August 27th, 2022 at 4:15 PM ^
Scott Frost right now......
August 27th, 2022 at 4:15 PM ^
Fitz with another strip-sack of Frost!
August 27th, 2022 at 4:15 PM ^
So Frost lost by an onside kick. Seems poetic.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:15 PM ^
Well Scottie Boy, enjoy some Irish whiskey you're going to need it. Tomorrow start polishing up your resume' for 2023.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:36 PM ^
If you do the tour of the Guiness Brewery you get a complimentary Guiness at the end, he could just do 10-20 tours and he'll be feeling better.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
Northwestern gets lucky after total turtle after 13 -14 runs in a row. Couple good bounces and tips. As bad as the onside kick call was, feel bad for the Huskers and even Frost. Trying not to lose not always a winning strategy though it was today.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:19 PM ^
Bite your tongue. No sympathy for Frost or Nebraska.
But I agree that Northwestern played stupidly for huge chunks of the game and won despite them.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:36 PM ^
Fair enough. Maybe you are right. Never cared for Coach Frost after his "we out hit them" in UCF's one sided loss to Michigan. Just hate to see a guy make such a dumb coaching decision that totally flipped momentum and the game in a way that might cost him his dream job at his alma mater. Can't remember seeing a worse coaching decision in game given the context. Don't have anything against Husker fans though, they have been through a lot.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
Lol, Frost looked like he was about to puke on that sideline cam shot.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
Hope y'all took the under on Nebraska's win total, lol.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:23 PM ^
I took the spread and lost a quick Hamilton, and honestly don't really feel that bad about it.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
Different year same results.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
Good to see Nebraska is still its old self. Excited to see all their one-score losses again this year.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
Lolololol. Scott frost…you ruined this game for your team with that stupid onside kick nice job numb nuts.
I will never feel bad about a Scott frost loss.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
So how much longer does Frost last?
August 27th, 2022 at 4:18 PM ^
A guy on Counterstrike said he’s not going to be let on the plane
August 27th, 2022 at 4:17 PM ^
Couldn’t wish a better start to the football season; a great game, a great loss for Scotty. Huskers have a long flight home to think “woulda, coulda, shoulda…”.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:17 PM ^
I'm spending at least some small part of this afternoon reading Nebraska fan pages for the schadenfreude.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
Corn Nation is 🔥
August 27th, 2022 at 4:17 PM ^
This season is over for NB before it's even started. Sad to be done in Week 0. I actually feel the tiniest bit of sad for NB fans... must be the Detroit Lions fan in me.
Let the coaching search In Lincoln begin.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:20 PM ^
Hire Herbstreit
August 27th, 2022 at 4:18 PM ^
I’m not even sure that beating Oklahoma would save Frost now. He’s a dead man walking, and he knows it.
I think his buyout is halved on October 1st. He’s “relieved of his duties” first thing in the morning of October 2nd.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:19 PM ^
What are the odds: (1) Scotty doesn’t show for a post-game press conference, or (2) Scotty shows up and barfs on camera?
August 27th, 2022 at 4:20 PM ^
Scott Frost sucks liathróidí!
August 27th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
Just a reminder to Michigan fans that we switched permanent rivals this year from Wisconsin to this hopeless Nebraska mess. How awesome is that?
August 27th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
UConn looking better than expected. If they win this, it would be a big enough upset. Then if they don't get embarrassed vs Syracuse, it could end up making our creampuff non-con look just a touch less creamy-puffy.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:22 PM ^
By all accounts I've seen, Northwestern is supposed to be really bad this season. So it's not like the Huskers were right there against a good team and didn't make one final play. This speaks to the rot in their program's culture.
August 27th, 2022 at 5:29 PM ^
Glengarry Glen Ross posts get an auto upvote from me any day.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:22 PM ^
Bo Pellini is laughing his ass off right now.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:26 PM ^
Underrated comment!!
August 27th, 2022 at 4:25 PM ^
Good call Herbs. Idiot.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:31 PM ^
Clearly Nebraska puked too much during the off season.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:31 PM ^
One final thought while enjoying the deliciousness of another Scott Frost loss...
Northwestern paved them. The Wildcats held a 2-to-1 advantage on the ground and moved the chains quite a few times just running right at them. NW had a 35-minute to 25-minute advantage in T.O.P. Northwestern won the turnover battle +2 (maybe +2.5 if you count the onside attempt). Not really a fluke.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:39 PM ^
I didn't realize Tre Robertson still has eligibility...
EDIT: different T. Robertson. Actually Roberson, not Robertson. I'm on fire today.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:42 PM ^
Did Roberson play at Indiana before this think so.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:42 PM ^
It appears you thought the same thing as me
August 27th, 2022 at 4:47 PM ^
No worries let’s go Fighting Huskies.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:47 PM ^
M could beat Nebraska without throwing a single pass.
August 27th, 2022 at 4:50 PM ^
Still early in the UConn game but wow surprising stuff thus far
August 27th, 2022 at 4:57 PM ^
UConn might actually have a functional run game.
I am sorry for doing this to UConn
August 27th, 2022 at 4:58 PM ^
Ha!
Huskers travel all the way across the Atlantic and get their lunch money taken away by the Big Ten Chess Club.
heh.
Give Frost a fifteen year extension. He and Janklin are the conference clowns of comic relief.
August 27th, 2022 at 5:02 PM ^
That’s a horrible call the receiver was out of bounds forever.
August 27th, 2022 at 5:14 PM ^
.Nebraska has many things contributing to their defeat.
One thing is very clear - Pat Fitzgerald is a pretty good FB coach - especially in game strategy / tactics
August 27th, 2022 at 5:16 PM ^

A new thread for the late afternoon games. With this one nearing 400 posts and some of the post-game dissection of Nebraska Football and Frost still ongoing here, time for a clean slate for discussion of other games.
(edit: not locking this thread, it'll remain open for those who want to continue posting your thoughts on the Northwestern upset win over the corn cob people.
