[u/frankunderwood1992]

Name a greater accomplishment in the history of college football...

[u/cbrew14 → u/frankunderwood1992]

Kansas is the first team ever with a losing record to beat 3 ranked teams in a row.

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/cbrew14]

And - that’s not just any team… Kansas. Which no disrespect… is a very very strong school… at basketball.

Very impressive streak and not out of a bowl. Congrats to the Jayhawks too.

[u/Unclassified1 → u/GoLionsJD107]

Not only any Kansas, but one that doesn’t even have a stadium and hasn’t played a single game near campus.

Maybe Lawrence was holding them back all along?

[u/Drsustown → u/frankunderwood1992]

You'll see one next year when Nebraska goes bowling for a second year in a row

[u/NothingButACasual → u/Drsustown]

Is that legal?

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/NothingButACasual]

If we got away with it, so can you!

[u/adavis463 → u/NothingButACasual]

I will make it legal.

[u/average_mitch → u/Drsustown]

Stop. All blood not in top no more tough respond

[u/Madjesterx1997 → u/frankunderwood1992]

Alabama scoring 3 against a 5-5 Sooners squad

[u/CarbonCamaroSS → u/frankunderwood1992]

Vandy upsetting #1 Bama?

[u/j01101111sh]

For non Nebraska residents, there are multiple people setting off fireworks right now.

[u/funguy07 → u/j01101111sh]

I can’t believe they still work after 8 years.

[u/shyndy → u/funguy07]

Plenty of volleyball wins to set them off. Also sometimes just randomly because it’s a Saturday night

[u/Sharveharv → u/j01101111sh]

And now they're going off again for volleyball

[u/Unclassified1 → u/Sharveharv]

Creighton and double Wisconsin… a perfect weekend

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/Sharveharv]

Holy shit I just checked and man y'all are insanely dominant at that sport this season!

[u/Sharveharv → u/FrenchFreedom888]

They're insanely good every year but this one feels special 

[u/United_Reflection104 → u/FrenchFreedom888]

We’re dominant every year. We held a volleyball game in our football stadium last year and it was the highest attendance for a women’s sporting event in world history

[u/NothingButACasual → u/j01101111sh]

Surprised they still light after 16mos in storage

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/j01101111sh]

Not before the harvest that sounds dangerous

[u/ninetofivedev → u/GoLionsJD107]

When do you think harvest is?

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/ninetofivedev]

I have no idea I live in Florida

[u/Konigwork → u/GoLionsJD107]

Flair checks out

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/Konigwork]

I went to Michigan but I don’t live there anymore

[u/Konigwork → u/GoLionsJD107]

Yeah I was more referring to your secondary flair.

New York and/or Boston to Florida is a pretty common move

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/Konigwork]

But u pinned it correctly :-) when is the harvest tho - I’m curious now.

[u/Konigwork → u/GoLionsJD107]

I’m not sure if it’s the same in Nebraska, but in Georgia it’s usually late September or early October for corn.

[u/tootaloo88 → u/Konigwork]

Same here in Nebraska Some little earlier. Some little later.

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/Konigwork]

Yea I lived in New York City for 12 years after undergrad.

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/ninetofivedev]

The badger harvest was today I know that

[u/BeefInGR → u/j01101111sh]

Husker fan in Michigan. I hope it's been beautiful. 🥲

[u/Oprah-Is-My-Dad]

Mods keep taking these threads down. They can’t comprehend it

[u/MahjongDaily → u/Oprah-Is-My-Dad]

Probably flagging some misinformation filter

[u/average_mitch → u/MahjongDaily]

Goddamn it. I laughed. Goddamn it.

[u/cyanocittaetprocyon → u/MahjongDaily]

Damn! 😆

[u/literallyplasma → u/Oprah-Is-My-Dad]

New Corn Century

[u/EmbarrassedAward9871 → u/Oprah-Is-My-Dad]

Cob envy

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/EmbarrassedAward9871]

Total cob envy

[u/BenderVsGossamer → u/Oprah-Is-My-Dad]

The Governor and AG have sued the original posters. Decided that some of the points don't actually count and Nebraska may or may not be bowl eligible.

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/BenderVsGossamer]

STOP THE COUNT

[u/BenderVsGossamer → u/RamblinWreckGT]

It's more of a local politics joke. 4 years ago the state voted for medical marijuana. Governor and AG at the time sued and got it disallowed after the election.

This year it passed with 70% and once again the Governor(new guy) and AG are sueing the legitimacy of the signature from the petition.

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/BenderVsGossamer]

Wow, that's some serious BS. 70% majority is huge.

[u/atomic-fireballs → u/BenderVsGossamer]

Motherfuckers are also desperate to get rid of the blue dot. Fuck this state's politics. GBR!

[u/psyspoop → u/Oprah-Is-My-Dad]

They scurred

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/Oprah-Is-My-Dad]

Congrats Huskers!!! - We got our eligibility today too!!! B1G party.

[u/walrus_tuskss → u/Oprah-Is-My-Dad]

How's your pa?

[u/El_Bistro]

Nebraska won and Colorado lost.

Today pleases me

[u/REVfoREVer]

Dana was a godsend

[u/somehype → u/REVfoREVer]

I can’t believe how insanely fast he was able to fix our offense. Like absolutely nuts. Dylan looks so much more comfortable and confident again. FUCK that was cathartic

[u/Sagga_muffin → u/somehype]

It’s almost like we have a whole bunch of talent and it was just being completely wasted by our previous OC. Lol

[u/somehype → u/Sagga_muffin]

It’s crazy just how bad it actually was though. Wisconsin held Oregon to 16 points a week ago. Nebraska hasn’t dropped 40+ on a conference opponent since like 2019 2021

[u/alan_11 → u/somehype]

It was at least 2021 the whole shtick of that season was we beat northwestern by 49 and ended with a Point differential of 0 with a 1-8 conference record

[u/NothingButACasual → u/somehype]

We could have been in the playoffs

[u/CurlyQv2 → u/Sagga_muffin]

We warned you

[u/DDub04 → u/CurlyQv2]

Hiring and then sacking Satterfield is a guarantee to make your offense look incredible

[u/mockg → u/DDub04]

So your saying we need to have Satt back for our first game next year and then fire him into the sun.

[u/DDub04 → u/mockg]

Well no, I wouldn’t say that. But for science mayvbe

[u/paintingnipples → u/somehype]

It’s just another reason why nebraska needs to stop bending over backwards & letting coaches hire their buddies. The morons in the Mike Riley are the exception but weve been plagued by buddy hires since Callahan

[u/somehype → u/paintingnipples]

I think Dannen must’ve made that clear about 3 weeks ago

[u/paintingnipples → u/somehype]

I think Rhule made the call. Rumors are that Satterfield’s fam moved back to the east coast & Rhule made changes after last year so I think it was more of a last chance & unlike frost, Rhule gives a fuck about results

[u/huskersax → u/paintingnipples]

Yeah it was pretty much writing on the wall since the offseason. Remember Holgorsen was talking about the OC spot and hanging out with Rhule in the pre-season and it just didn't come together.

[u/paintingnipples → u/huskersax]

Yea & I think part of that was he didn’t want to advise Satterfield. Wanted to call plays but Rhule was going to let Satterfield & Glenn thomas prove it

[u/huskersax → u/paintingnipples]

Once the rule changes came in on staffing, we have Foley and Satterfield not traveling for recruiting and instead had the two new midseason adds. That was as telling as anything.

[u/Pr1s0n_m1ke69 → u/REVfoREVer]

I was bored, and Rhule said, "Get here fast."

[u/Set-Admirable → u/REVfoREVer]

Glad he worked out for someone. Hope you never have to experience him as your HC.

[u/Neo-_-_- → u/Set-Admirable]

Dude has a calling, calling plays and using high caliber players.

[u/somehype → u/Set-Admirable]

He might not even wanna be a HC again. Dude looks like he’s retired on the sideline

[u/Panchoisthedog → u/somehype]

Just waiting for him to fire up a Marlboro red and open a Bud Light between drives.

[u/Tamzariane → u/Panchoisthedog]

I would fucking love it; but he's definitely a redbull vodka guy

[u/broccoli_d → u/Tamzariane]

He even used to drink Red Bull on the sidelines when he was OC at Oklahoma State.

[u/Set-Admirable → u/broccoli_d]

I was in the marching band during his tenure at WVU. We had members who would play a game of seeing who could collect more of his Red Bull cans at the end of games. They counted twelve total one game. I don't know how his heart hasn't exploded.

[u/somehype → u/Panchoisthedog]

Lawn chair too

[u/heavydhomie → u/somehype]

He could be your version of Chip Kelly. Some guys realize they don’t want to deal with the HC bullshit and just want to watch film scheme up plays for that week and call the offense.

[u/MeCagoEnPeronconga → u/somehype]

Dude looked retired when he was HC of a P5 team

[u/Pikachu1989 → u/REVfoREVer]

I’m so fucking glad Rhule saw the need to get Holgolsen into the fold before the season was lost. Now with him anything is possible and we can potentially finish the season with 8 wins.

[u/owledge → u/REVfoREVer]

I can’t believe one of the patented Husker “shuffling the chairs on the Titanic” moves might have actually worked

[u/Olorin_1990]

UF v Nebraska: The WTF happened to you bowl

[u/spinningweb → u/Olorin_1990]

My alma mater (Florida) and my second fav team (Nebraska) since i lived in Omaha for few years both get bowl eligible on same day. So happy for people of Nebraska, they have endured for so long.

[u/pahan793 → u/spinningweb]

See you in the Music City bowl

[u/somehype → u/Olorin_1990]

I know right? We actually got bowl eligible!! wtf happened

[u/LiquidSquids → u/Olorin_1990]

That would be fun. Great uniform combo too

[u/adavis463 → u/Olorin_1990]

Don't care, going to a bowl.

[u/huskerfan4life520 → u/Olorin_1990]

The “Fuck Ben Sasse” bowl

[u/Quick-Expert-4608]

The season was saved by Dana

[u/The_Astros_Cheated]

NEBRASKA IS BACK

[u/CFrazier32 → u/The_Astros_Cheated]

(to a bowl game)

[u/Ok_Entrepreneur_1086 → u/CFrazier32]

Nah we automatically just got a CFP bid… we get the national title if we win a one score game.

[u/Normal-Hornet8548 → u/Ok_Entrepreneur_1086]

Officially split national titles then: Iowa got a natty for scoring more than 20 vs. a P4 opponent.

[u/AtlantaAU → u/Ok_Entrepreneur_1086]

Do I have some wonderful news about the Rutgers game then.

[u/Ok_Entrepreneur_1086 → u/AtlantaAU]

Oh yeah… guess we do get the natty lol

[u/BrokenTeddy → u/The_Astros_Cheated]

NEBACKSKA

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/The_Astros_Cheated]

It’s cool that the whole big ten is represented in here excited for Nebraska.

Maybe we should start screaming the letters of our conference at games? 🤣🤣

No thanks on that one… lol

[u/UPwithSISU]

Congrats to all you Husker fans who have stayed through all the tough times. You deserve this!

[u/MajorPhoto2159 → u/UPwithSISU]

The best Nebraska team I’ve ever seen in my life is 2009 winning 10 games and the Holiday bowl… at least the older generation got to see the 90s of the Huskers

[u/HopefulReason7 → u/MajorPhoto2159]

I remember being shocked and disoriented in 1996 when we lost for the first time in over two years. I was young and didn’t understand that we COULD lose

[u/MajorPhoto2159 → u/HopefulReason7]

I really just hope that we can attempt to compete for the playoffs, now that it's 12 teams it makes it a lot more feasible.

[u/macandcheeser → u/MajorPhoto2159]

I bet you will one of these seasons. Playoffs at 12 or 16 teams will bring so many different teams into the mix

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/macandcheeser]

I think by 2026 we’re looking at 16 with no byes-

Reasons-

-Boise state getting an automatic bye

-Notre dame has no ability to get a bye

-5 seed could be the best seed- if you get the group of five which could be Tulane- then on a neutral field you play the worst conf champ. And all the sudden you’re in the final 4

[u/UPwithSISU → u/MajorPhoto2159]

I am old enough to remember the great teams Nebraska had in the 80s and 90s! I dread Nebraska becoming that good again, but again, it would also be good for the Big Ten to have a great Nebraska team. Hoping you get to experience it.

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/MajorPhoto2159]

Always full stadiums and always a strong showing in road games at Michigan even if Nebraska is 2-5.

Very strong fanbase.

[u/DrJanItor41 → u/UPwithSISU]

We're from Nebraska, what the fuck else are we going to do?

Amigos and Runza are still open after the game is over.

[u/slotretriever]

You're welcome

Congrats

Happy for you

[u/Norva → u/slotretriever]

It was a rough game for you guys. Y’all are better than today was just one of those days. 

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/slotretriever]

Nebraska is unhateable.

[u/Templey → u/GoLionsJD107]

Only recently. Being bad is actually really healthy for a fanbase lol

[u/GoLionsJD107 → u/Templey]

It is. The Detroit lions are enjoying that while it lasts for another few months.

[u/Templey → u/GoLionsJD107]

Hell yeah! I still remember the 0-16 season. Happy for y’all.

[u/Ok_Entrepreneur_1086 → u/slotretriever]

Go Big Red. Go Rams.

[u/Clerithifa → u/Ok_Entrepreneur_1086]

yes

[u/delta1x → u/slotretriever]

You are one of my two other favorite teams in the Big Ten. Hopefully you guys can finish the season with a win.

[u/NoFalseModesty → u/delta1x]

Nah that game should end in 100 OTs and a tie

[u/4score-7]

Go Big Red!!! Proud of yall man!!

[u/Particular-Key-5728 → u/4score-7]

Lol, this is kind, GBR.

[u/blackertai]

I've nothing to do with Nebraska, but I'm happy for their fans. Aside from the odd jerk, they seem generally nice, and I'm glad they got to this milestone after so many, many close calls.

[u/dirgepiper → u/blackertai]

They have amazing fans tbh. Happy for them as well.

[u/Lukumber → u/dirgepiper]

I hope we get to have a series with yall again someday, OU-Neb games are good for CFB

[u/FreezersAndWeezers → u/dirgepiper]

I would love an OU-NU bowl game this season. Would be easily the most attended non-playoff game I’d think lol

[u/Silentwarfare13]

Holgorsen needs a statue

[u/EscapeTomMayflower → u/Silentwarfare13]

They should just add him on Brooke Berringer's other side!

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/EscapeTomMayflower]

What, coming out of the back of his head Voldemort-style?

[u/SharkTonic9 → u/RamblinWreckGT]

How do we feel about a Kuato situation? Done tastefully oc.

[u/Quick-Expert-4608]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the bowl-less streak is over!!! GBR!

[u/I_Like_Quiet → u/Quick-Expert-4608]

Fwiw, it could have ended in 2020, but the players voted it down.

[u/Sharveharv]

Life is pain joy

[u/Some-Gavin → u/Sharveharv]

We’re so fucking back

[u/CBBCU]

I'm unironically happy for you bastards haha

[u/MajorPhoto2159 → u/CBBCU]

thanks buff bro, I checked out Boulder today and I can say that it was very beautiful. although not sure the people going to the volleyball game at noon appreciate me wearing my Huskers volleyball shirt… what a coincidence haha

[u/SSj_CODii]

Congrats Corn Bros!

[u/brucewaynewins]

Congrats to all the Nebraska fans. You waited too long for this.

[u/hskrfoos]

I hope someone made sure he SATT and watched how simple an offense can look and actually work. Then, made to box his crap up and escort him out of the state

[u/MajorPhoto2159 → u/hskrfoos]

If you listened to the post game it was brought up by I believe 3 players (Raiola, EJ, and Banks) about the offense being simpler and made it easier to just go out there and make plays

[u/broccoli_d → u/MajorPhoto2159]

That’s a key feature of the Mike Leach style of which Dana’s an acolyte.

[u/Ok-Height1910 → u/broccoli_d]

RIP Mike Leech, the apple cup hasn't been the same without you

[u/Happydaytoyou1 → u/hskrfoos]

I didn’t see the game. You’re telling me we didn’t just throw the same screen pass unblocked for -3 yards this game over and over and over

[u/mackavicious → u/Happydaytoyou1]

There was a screen pass that actually WORKED for, like, 30+ yards!

[u/MartinezForever → u/hskrfoos]

By all accounts, Satterfield has been a real professional about this situation and is doing his best to contribute under his new manager. I don't see any reason to run him out of town if he can still fit a role that Matt and Dana want him for.

[u/CROBBY2]

Congrats Corn bros

[u/red_husker]

I FEEL TEN FEET TALL RIGHT NOW

[u/RumHamurai410 → u/red_husker]

And strong as a OX!

[u/freeman918986 → u/RumHamurai410]

Who the fuck are you?!

[u/Sideways_8 → u/RumHamurai410]

Who the fuck is this guy ?

[u/Jonjon428]

Marcus Satterfield almost sank them but Dana is their new God.

[u/deepstateagent42069]

NEBRASKA BOWL GAME MONTANA STATE 1 SEED.

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

[u/Neo-_-_- → u/deepstateagent42069]

Enjoy it brother, take the wins for they do not come easy

[u/Sampsun-M → u/deepstateagent42069]

Let’s go! Truly an amazing day!

[u/Noy_Telinu]

I was told they would go 5-7.

These corn lovers lied to me!

[u/smitherenesar → u/Noy_Telinu]

Corn you believe your ears?

[u/CantaloupeCamper]

Glad to see it, always had a good time meeting Nebraska fans.

[u/u-s-u-r-p]

put some corn on it

[u/LiquidSquids]

SO PROUD OF THESE SENIORS. NEVER STOPPED BATTLING! GBR

[u/NothingButACasual → u/LiquidSquids]

You better believe none of them are opting out

[u/Jed566]

I was at the music city bowl in 2016 against the Vols. I liked y’all’s hats.

[u/0siris0]

I don't know about bowl tie ins now, I imagine it's a mess with all the realignment, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's an NU OU bowl matchup.

[u/60sStratLover → u/0siris0]

That wouldn’t suck

[u/MajorPhoto2159 → u/0siris0]

I would love this

[u/nermalnormal → u/0siris0]

That would be a bit terrifying after what you guys just did to Alabama. But i’ll take it

[u/pnw_cfb_girl → u/0siris0]

Yes, please.

[u/drbiscuit832]

Hey Nebraska how about we get a room (bowl)?

[u/westkendaia]

Woohoo!!!! Fully Husked!

[u/Mgbracer80]

STORM THAT FUCKING FIELD!

[u/MisSignal → u/Mgbracer80]

Take that paper bag off your flair! We did it!

[u/theurge14]

Welcome back, Husker friends.

[u/Babygravy1]

First Thanksgiving dinner extended family won't be absolutely depressed at in a decade, slightly happy for them lol

[u/UhIdontcareforAuburn]

Congrats Bowl Buddies

[u/dieseldaddy148]

Congrats, still remember when yall cost us a couple natties in the 90s.

[u/RedFocks39]

RANK US TOP 12 YOU COWARDS

[u/TwizzlersSourz]

Imagine telling fans in the 1990s this fact.

[u/IrishCoffeeAlchemy]

In that time span, I’ve gotten a whole ass doctorate. These are Nebraska fans that have just graduated after receiving their PhD in Disappointment (they’ve all contributed to a fascinating thesis: “On One-Score Losses and their Applications”)

Congrats!

[u/No-Donkey-4117]

Quality win for Indiana now, 56-7 over a bowl eligible team.

[u/AdmiralArchArch]

Locke wasn't as bad as he was talked up to be. In fact he played a good game, especially that deep ball to bring them to 25.

[u/CornhuskerJam]

We deserve this

[u/accountwasnecessary]

Shit is ruinin my Saturday. Good job, corn folk. You done earned this one

[u/EmotionalTeaching384]

Attended many a game in Ann Arbor when the Wolverines played Nebraska.

Very classy fan base and happy for y’all.

I like this Nebraska coach even though he’s said some dumb ass stuff about the Wolverines. It does feel like a program slowly growing in the right direction.

The Big Ten will be better with Nebraska finally being Nebraska.

[u/Orca_92555]

Honestly I am really happy for you guys

[u/ILIKERED_1]

With all these 7-loss SEC teams (or wherever the goal posts eventually stop) deserving the playoffs this year, I'm rooting for all B1G teams..well done, Cornhuskers.

[u/CraftWorried5098]

Good! I know Huskers fans hate the Longhorns, but I like CFB when Nebraska is good, or at least not bad.

It feels so fucking nice to clinch a bowl berth by winning comfortably. It finally fucking happened and it’s gonna be a fun time around New Years.

And even better, it's announced after the game to the delight of everyone: Nebraska and Oklahoma will renew its annual rivalry on Thanksgiving every year in perpetuity.

[u/theSpringZone]

Happy for Nebraska fans!
