Buttgers Blackout

[Huskersballz]

How typical would it be for Nebraska to start 4-1 or even 5-0 and be the early season media darlings only to lose to Buttgers on National TV on a Friday night?

Great, we've been reduced to the homecoming-blackout/special game opponent for the B1G.

 

[Dell Husker]

It’s pretty impressive they are already worried about a black out that far in advanced.

Night game though, I’ll also be blacked out

It’s an unpopular opinion but these Friday night games have become my favorite. Don’t have to miss other games and then you don’t have to schedule your entire Saturday around the game.

Agreed, they’re fantastic…..would really start liking them even more when/if we start winning.

Some don’t like it because it messes up their high school football Fridays. 🤷🏼‍♂️

No shame in losing when you're 6.5 dogs in New Brunswick

Rutgers by 14.


This season will be about as fun as the last four.

15-29. Never forget.

When was the last time we were 5-0? Hardly typical.

Old man Riley had us 5-0 in 2016

Mike was a young whippersnapper who was 62 and had his whole life in front of him

Imagjne if someone had told you after that 7-0 start that:

1) Good news: NU will hire the golden boy as its next coach
2) Bad news: That as of the end of 2021, this team that is currently ranked in the top 10 will not see another .500 season.

Smart move by the Big Ten. They are only competing with the Sunbelt and cornhole league on Friday sports networks.

I’m going to this one, closest game for me besides Michigan and I can throw in a nyc weekend. Hope to god they don’t blow it

I just can't imagine any universe where a HCSF team starts the year 4-1 or better no matter what the schedule.
