28 days until kickoff
Reflection on Loss #28: Wisconsin 35, Nebraska 28. November 20, 2021.
Well what is there to say other than Nebraska went toe to toe with the seemingly annual favorite in the Big Ten West and lost after a valiant effort? I mean other than Nebraska never having a win probability greater than about 40%, watching Braelon Allen go for 2.2x their rushing yards by himself, and letting the opening kick get returned for a TD in what I assume Coach Scrote characterizes as a completely idiosyncratic breakdown that has never happened before. If you couldn't see how close we are that day in Madison, you weren't paying attention in the 0 minutes and 0 seconds we led during the game.
Scrote Stat #2: Coach Scrote left Nebraska in 1997 to take his act to the NFL, but how did the Big Ten West fare while he was off breaking necks and cashing checks as a safety in the pros. Here's how Corch Scrote stacks up in winning percentage against coaches at Big Ten West schools since 1997. That is, if he's ranked 5th out of 5, he has the worst winning percentage of all of the coaches at that respective school in the last 25 years.
Nebraska: 5th out of 5
Purdoodoo: 4th out of 5
Minnesota: 6th out of 7
Wisconsin: 5th out of 5
Northwestern: 4th out of 4
Cockeye: 3rd out of 3
Illinois: 2nd out of 6 (Hip, Hip, Hooray!)
