I am not a fan of this behavior, but if you do this you better be sure you are mentally tough enough to back it up.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

If we should win, let it be by the code, faith and honor held high. If we should lose, let us stand by the road, and cheer as the winners go by.

This isn’t something Husker fans are happy with. Hopefully Rhule didn’t endorse this and he should have a statement on Monday. Totally unacceptable.

 

[Flusker]

Yeah not cool. No wonder Iowa was chippy to start off the game. I like swagger but have some gamesmanship. And if you are going to pull this stunt, have the talent and record to back it up. And maybe win the darn game.

Bush League from our players. Totally unacceptable. I can't stand Iowa, but that's no excuse for showing a lack of respect.

Maybe they did this because they wouldn’t let us huddle at the 50 before the game? Iowa had state troopers guarding it from, **checks notes***….prayer.

Not a good look for the program and especially when you are a 6-6 team who is going bowling for just the first time in your life.

Weak move.

 

[PaSker]

Apparently it was in retaliation for not being allowed to pray as a team on the 50-yd-line (the hawkeye) and instead having to pray in the endzone.

If true, it's a really lame approach by NU to both prayer and sportsmanship.

I'm all for the pregame prayer, but if its going to cause drama every single road game, maybe move it to your sideline or the endzone. The drama is taking away from the prayer itself.

Piss on that. Pray at the 50. If they show zero respect hold your head high and move forward. Shaking their hands shows no respect. You give none you get none. I'm good with it. People are way too soft these days. Taught all my kids how to be respectful and yet not be weak.

It seems as though our team has some players that are a little less than "Nebraska Nice." We seem to have a lot of behaviors that could be viewed as arrogant (not shaking hands, on field gestures and celebrations, trash talking opponents, etc.).

We're not even lovable losers.

Shaking hands pregame with the players that for sure had nothing to do with blocking the pregame prayer, is not showing weakness. It's weak to be that poor in sportsmanship IMO. Plus it showed that we let the blocked midfield get into our heads.

Yeah, where has the culture gone?



Disappointed more in this behavior than the loss...and I am very disappointed that we lost.
