I've learned not to watch the BB games live. I either DVR them, or just pause the live feed and come back later. Then I FF through the game, watching the score on the bottom.
Every game is the same. We get a double digit lead, maintain it throughout much of the game, and then fall apart in the last 2 minutes. Last night was just another "Lucy pulling the football" incident. Got my hopes up (again) that the team was FINALLY going to break through. Only to have those hopes dashed again, in the same frustrating way.
Sad that this is our reputation now. I'm sure the opposing coaches just tell their guys to hang tough and play a full 40 minutes of BB, because the Huskers are going to fold at 38.
Hard to miss the similarities to the last 4 years of FB. I'm hopeful the changes in FB result in changes on the scoreboard next year. Can Fred figure it out?
The 4 OT loss to NC State was a huge season turner IMO. Should have NEVER lost that game. NU was 7-2 going into that game, should have been 8-2. Have been on a downhill spiral since. It was a gut punching loss. Team never recovered.
According to the homepage, they were 7-2. Maybe the first two don’t count, as many play exhibition games. Either way, that loss did nothing for confidence. It should have been a win. They aren’t any good either, but they have some history anyway.We weren’t 7-2 going into the NCS game (we were 5-2, but with no power 6 wins). The Western Illinois loss at home was brutal. That team is 6-10 in conference at a low level conference. The things you saw in that game with regard to rebounding, defense, and effort have stayed with this bunch all year. Nothing has been fixed.

The two exhibition games don't count towards the season record. there for Nebraska was 5-2.According to the homepage, they were 7-2. Maybe the first two don’t count, as many play exhibition games.
