Nebraska's 20 most bizarre moments

[coach00036]

For any of you masochists out there, Mitch Sherman and a few local sports personalities put together a list of 20 strange events from the past decade of Nebraska football. Interesting, painful read. Not sure if anybody around here subscribes to The Athletic, but I've linked it below

It’s gotten so bad, there have been multiple clap gates.

Are you referring to Carl Pelini's private life?

 

[huskerhooligansdotcom]

Are you referring to Carl Pelini's private life?

Hahahaha the man is a walking clap gate.

Michigan State 2014 we had a few bad snaps on crucial third downs because a Michigan State defender was discretely clapping when our QB wasn't ready and the center (Pelini nephew) snapped it. Same game that Cotton fell out of his stance.

Mitch's story was just for the decade since Nebraska joined the Big Ten, so 2006 and 2010 aren't in there. Mitch wrote extensively about the 2010 Texas A&M fiasco. Seriously, if you have the extra money, The Athletic is worth it.

Oh, my goodness, yes! I got two gifts from my son Christmas 2019, that I said...if you want to never think of a gift again for me...just keep renewing...The Athletic and Spotify.

Eh. I disagree. It was ok, and I do like Sherman, but was just mediocre to me. In this day and age you can get news on any team without having to pay for it and it is basically the same content.

I'm in it for WAAAAY more than stuff on the Huskers.....THAT'S why I like it...
to each his own...blessings...

The Athletic's reporters have more time to produce thoughtful long-form pieces that you don't get elsewhere. I'd love to read more about the Rockies, the Royals, the Nuggets, the Chiefs, Nebraska and Iowa, but to afford subscriptions to the OWH, the Denver Post, the LJS, the Cedar Rapids Gazette and the Kansas City Star is less cost-effective for me. It's a personal preference, I know, but I'm willing to support reporters with direct payments to their sites. I pay for the Athletic, the CR Gazette (local news), and the NY Times for the Crosswords. Reporters also have bills to pay.

I was at that game!! UGH!!

I remember a bizarre Husker moment in the 2003 Nebraska vs Missouri game, OC Barney Cotton wildly celebrates an early Nebraska TD and jumps but lands wrong and tore a calf muscle. He had to wear a boot the rest of the game.

found some OWH archives...

Tom Shatel:
You know it's a Nebraska-Missouri game when one of the coaches gets injured. Barney Cotton was seen limping after one play on the Nebraska sidelines. Of course, NU isn't giving updates on injuries. We'll assume Cotton is day to day. Or, play to play.

By the way, who's Nebraska's back-up offensive coordinator?

———
Mitch Sherman:
Offensive Coordinator Barney Cotton also had a rough night. Cotton fell to the artificial turf as the Huskers came to the sideline following Jammal Lord's 35-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Cotton said he tore a muscle in his right calf.

I remember that. Nebraska took a 24-14 lead heading into the 4th quarter. Of course we would allow 28 points in the 4th, making it the typical Nebraska thing to do post 2001.
