Wait....you actually have something negative to say about something as miniscule as what numbers players are wearing....

When you put it that way, he sounds really fucking dumb

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Anyone know who that is second from the right? Number 67 or 57, can't tell for sure?

That's a big boy

Gunnerson. Helps him look like a monster when he's standing next to Hartzog who is like 5'9" 150

The lack of fat slobs in that picture gives me hope for the future. Thankfully that will only last until 9PM Thursday because misery is core to my self perception

If player numbers are so minuscule why is our head coach making such a big deal out of it? Lol

I asked how it might be perceived in recruiting and said i’d rather give out all 20 not just 10. Whoops!

if player numbers are such a minuscule thing why do we hold a fucking vote on who gets the bottom 10? Lol you guys are something else

What's this "our head coach" business? Thought your head coach was Deion?

I wish I had your confidence! I'm dying over here. I so desperately want to win - not only for the sake of my beloved Huskers, but also because I despise ol' Peej as much as one possibly can.

What's killing me is that I know that this is a very winnable...but I need to see it first. It's not like this Minnesota team is expected to be bad. Sure, they have questions and have to fill holes - but we have plenty of holes and issues too. There is no outcome to this game that would utterly shock me. We could get boat raced (pun not intended...), we could blow the doors off them, or anything in-between. And that is what stresses me out so much...

I don't think I am going to have a solid movement between now and kickoff....

Glad I’m not the only one that gets this way. The offseason is actually somewhat blissful. The Huskers can’t hurt me there. I’ve been stressed/on edge/nervous all morning. It was like waking up and knowing you have to give a speech at school or something.

It doesn’t help that I’ve grown to hate almost everyone we play. It just makes the the thought of losing to them that much worse. Peepants is near neck and neck with the Cockeyes and Wisconsin. At this point it’s good we are in the Big 10, but god I hate it so much.

“Numbers don’t matter Duck, thats why its been the talk of fall camp on who gets the single digit ones, we even hold a vote for it, but it doesnt matter! Just numbers ducky!

No mine was #2ndChoice if we are keeping score

 

[Pipe Line]

Like you, I was a baseball player, and I just got my son his first glove for his third birthday last month. But he's nowhere fucking close to being ready for tee ball. Unlike soccer, baseball actually requires an attention span and knowing what to do aside from "kick the ball".

I hope it goes well for her though.

For the record, my expectations are very low lol but I hope it's atleast not horrific, I guess I would say. I do know she's young for that. The age was 3 at minimum, but the organization changed it to 2 during the summer, so figured why not.

 

[11husker23]

Ah shucks!!! I gave an opinion on the single digits that wasn’t a Rhule fluff piece and you all shut down!! Don’t talk about supreme leader Rhule that way Ducky!

Poor lil ducky quacking and squawking away.

 

[BradWesley]

I'm so excited. This is a great week.

Week 1 of Nebraska Football
Week 1 of Kansas High School Football (we play a big rival)
Week 1 of Kansas Middle School Football (my oldest is in 8th grade)

All of those games happen on this Thursday. Could be a great day or an absolute dumpster fire but I can't wait.

I think when our kids were 2 and 3 they played something called blastball, basically hit it off a tee and run to 1 base that made a noise when you stepped on it. I figured out early on that it was evented so moms could put pictures of their kids playing on instagram.

I'm very lucky that my wife wants basically no trace of our daughter on social media. I'm also very much the kind of guy that would rather live in the moment than see everything through a camera for memories.

Here in a couple years maybe throw her in a wrestling club.

By the time she's in high school probably going to be the most attainable route for some athletic scholarship dollars and could save you a few bucks down the road if she likes it.

Also convinced wrestling since he was little is why my son doesn't get nervous/scared pitching/batting in baseball.

Yeah we'll see how she develops in the next couple years. My dad threw me on a dirt bike when I was a kid and that's how I got my confidence for most things. I'm tentatively planning on the same-ish route with my daughter. She does like to "toddler wrestle" though, but idk if that's just what toddlers do or if she really does enjoy wrestling lol

You might be getting a wee bit ahead of yourself.

Small detail, probably petty and doesn't matter, but I LOVE these versions of the practice and blackshirt jerseys. Bland, tough, standard. Hated the ones we've seen the last few years-decade.

 

[Pipe Line]

Most likely. I thought she was going to stand up and walk by herself like 4 months before it was even supposed to happen

 

[Bootleg11]

Man, tough luck that you're going to miss their first 8th grade game pregaming for the Huskers. I'm sure by this point they know you well enough to understand, though. There will be more 8th grade games.

Not a chance. 4:30 Middle School game, followed by the High School game. Our Head Football Coach is a Nebraska native and also loves the Huskers. We made a pact to just not check our phones and watch it afterwards.

 

[Kaladin]

Game week is so exciting!

We can hope and dream that we will have a good team this year. We have an elite coach who trained and prepared our players well

And we haven’t been crushed yet by the fact that we suck dick again
