It's drama land in Lincoln this Friday night. North Dakota State upsetting No. 14 Nebraska wasn't even the biggest headline afterwards. Mark Manning confirmed that 2022 National runner-up Ridge Lovett will use his redshirt this season and gave a scathing update on Kyle Burwick while calling out the Wisconsin Athletic Department.

Enjoyed writing this one as there's plenty to unpack.

Scratch off Klieman.

Good

Not the ones that don’t work (cloth/surgical) but N-95’s
Next staff CANNOT catch the virus that has ruined this program over the last 8 years.

It is so obvious these kids are mentally broke.

Tannor literally said out loud they got too comfortable at halftime. Are you fu&@@&” kidding me???

Thanks @headcard citing the tweet from Kevin Sjuts with the brilliant thread idea.
This could be fun.

I’ll start with two entries:

“PJ Fleck is the kind of guy…
…. who would mail himself daily letters of affirmation from the campus office to his home ‘you’re good enough! keep on rowing buddy!’”

…who would pay top dollar for an antique boat oar from 1000 B.C. and wood burn his initials in 4 inch font on the blade before hanging it on the wall.”

So dumb. Get four more plays…..

…starting Purdy. A nervous QB who can not throw a spiral and has zero velocity.

Anyone notice Mickey opted to play Brody Belt and Wyatt Liewer quite a bit while Frost was the head coach but little if any once he took over and the results were on him?

curious

Fred Hoiberg and SMU transfer Emmanuel Bandoumel met with the media on Friday at the Devaney Center. Hit the link:

Nebraska (3-5, 2-3 Big Ten) and Minnesota (5-3, 2-3) are doing battle at Memorial Stadium today. Let's get to some talkin' below.

One Last Call: Final thoughts, questions, score predictions:

2:30 KO on ABC for those interested

Much improved past two games. Only way to was up but they are not to blame in tge past two games.

Can you believe that we reached such a lowly that are season success results on did you beat Iowa. I been a fan from the early 90s my early memories are from us losing to Florida state by a missed fg. I don't even know how to fill anymore. I will be a fan of the huskers for the rest of my life. I just don't even know what to reasonably to expect from them anymore. With that said GO BIG RED! You are my team for better or worse

"Yes, when he (Chubba Purdy) started not seeing it, I thought he got a little antsy in the pocket."

Defense throwing the bones! Even when they make a play, you rarely see players throw em. I know our D hasn’t been great but it would be nice to see players at least partaking in one of our most cherished traditions. I have only seen it a couple times this whole year.

Mention names I haven't heard being considered

If you can’t see what 90,000 other people did then you ain’t the guy.

No explanation given in official release. Wonder if they will ever disclose what really happened?

till trev makes the right decision and hires a coach with a min of 5 years head coaching experince
and also lines up the nil portal to get what that coach needs
look for a coach who runs the ball first, with some passing
and has the 1's vs the 1's in practice to build toughness

I played catch outside with my sons, had lunch with my wife, and got a bunch of yard work done. Tomorrow I am going deer hunting.

I was in a good mood because I didn’t watch minute of our game or even check the score until it was over. The outcome was no surprise.

Why should any of us give a sh*t about a season that our administrators wrote off before it even began? We have a bunch of empty suits running our program. They are all great at enriching themselves, but they take the fans for granted. Our program has been a joke for over 2 decades, and they don’t deserve the fan support they have had.

The only reason to check in on our joke of a program is to see who the new coach is.

After another lackluster game, who becomes the head guy?

And it is not Mickey's fault. What was Scott Frost thinking in recruiting??? Also High School teams tackle better!

The amount of empty seats allowed me to stretch out my legs and lean back to the next row of bleachers.
Basketball season is around the corner and Trev has done a good job with the mens program as well.

He's not qualified for this job and has done nothing to earn it. There better be a presser tomorrow announcing our next head coach.

Holy shit even Michigan State may be behind us.
Thank god for A&M
