What would it take for you to sip the Kool-Aid again?

I am still far too jaded after so many years of disappointment to risk drinking the Kool-Aid yet even after a 5-0 start, but hands down all recognition is due that our halftime adjustments were excellent and the team clearly no longer just collapses and phones it in when they are behind and adversity is piling up. These are light years leaps forward from where we were.
At this point, after watching how the team and the staff overcame a genuinely putrid first half, you can put the glass of Kool-Aid in front of me, and I will allow myself to smell it.

Maryland had something to do with that first half but yes the team deserves credits for making the adjustments.
I’m definitely drinking a little koolaid tonight.
We are taking steps. Still so much to work on, but the fact that we're making halftime adjustments, and playing tougher in the 4Q is a big deal.
First time we've been 5-0 since 2016 (as we know).
Just heard: first time we've been 5-0, and won all 5 by at least 17 points, ... since 2001

(I hope next week isn't our 2001 CU game)
Still no kool aid. They are playing slightly better than I'd hoped though
I be sipp'n! Maybe we get to 8 wins!!!
I was at that game and I am not sure the comparison works with the many years of struggle for the Huskers.
The 2001 Colorado game in Boulder was the end of the Nebraska dominance and the rest of college football did not fear Nebraska after that game. It was announced dramatically on national television. That was the craziest/scariest road environment I have ever been in.
Yes Nebraska could get blown out next week (we shall see) but it would be just like many games against a power opponent the last 10+ years.

That was the longest first half I can remember.
I didn’t expect Maryland to have as much success offensively as they did in the first half. But, NU adjusted very well.
I still really like this team. I said before they weren’t spectacular but were solid, I don’t know anymore—Gilmer made some plays that looked spectacular to me.
Tough stretch coming up, NU probably drops one they shouldn’t and wins one they’re not expected to. Including bowl I expect at least nine wins on the year. Who knows though, right now it’s just fun to watch the team playing well.

It’s a bit ugly, but I am thinking we might get to 7 wins. 8 if we can eliminate the penalties.
Honestly, I rewatch the game. Without the penalties that were questionable in my opinion, the defense was not bad. I think that was proven with the second half.
