Years from now, millions of people will be saying they were at Memorial Stadium when the legendary HH get his first start.

Where will you be? What will you be doing? What will you be consuming? Etc

We are finally going to get to see whether or not Haarberg can get the job done. I hope the kid succeeds beyond everyone's wildest expectations! GBR!

We're long overdue for another Joe Ganz feel good performance & story.

In HH we trust. Mainly because we're forced to.

Never been this excited for a MAC game. This might give us a hint toward the rest of our season. If he looks decent to good we have a chance to rack up some wins. If he looks terrible it's going to be a rough year.

I don’t know about interesting - don’t have much expectations either way.

I hope he does well, if not then it will be a major concern going forward. We seen what Purdy can do and I for one can say that Purdy wont win alot of games for us. If he doesn't look good, then its off to transfer portal again.

May he have a good day today and put pressure to keep playing him or Sims has to rectify ball security issues, finally.

Want to see the team do well on both sides of the ball and have success.

Here’s what I would like to see… Haarberg play well enough that when Sims is healthy and starting, he’s on a short leash. If Sims struggles at all down the road, Haarberg goes in once and for all.

Its just as well Sims is sitting out today. After two games, I don't see how anyone could justify starting him.

After Sims takes over the reins again, and likely stinks up the place against Michigan, we may as well have an idea of how the rest of the season may go.

It's amazing Rhule would have stuck with Sims had he not rolled his ankle. Yet, down in Bama, Saban tosses his starting QB after throwing 2 INT's against Texas and starts the ND transfer today. I guess its all about expectations.

The leash will have to be very short as I believe we already know what Sims is, an athletically gifted quarterback with a propensity to turn the ball over.

For what it’s worth, if we had Notre Dame‘s starting QB from last year as a transfer student, it would be easier to pull the trigger. I absolutely get what you’re saying, though, Sims needs to see the bench to get the message that you can’t make those mistakes and expect to continue to be the starter.

Agree, however, what if HH comes in and turns it over five times? That would be my biggest fear…

I think Chubba is available.
I think it is telling Chubba is still on the Husker roster. I think it is because no other FBS school wanted him. In this era of NIL money there is talk of how the value of a scholarship has been diminished, but in Chubba's case free education is still a very good deal.

I think in that case you try both Longval and Woche. It is time the Huskers start developing quarterbacks and designing game plans that give these players the best chance to succeed.

This day is set to be one remembered for me regardless how HH performs. Ate out for lunch and discovered 3/4 way through my chicken sandwich it was raw in the middle. May the huskers outperform my guts later!

How was the last game plan not developed for Sims to succeed? Should they have snapped the ball to someone else, who then hands it to Sims, so he doesn’t fumble the snap?

That’s how your ancestors ate them.
Don’t get me started on how coddled the modern human digestive system is.

Are you going to give your tape worm a name? How about Corky?

This is going to be a very low scoring game, it goes into the 4th, close, can we ever make the play that wins it in the 4th, the odds are against us but hoping today is the day we are on the winning drive.

I'd like to see HH command the offense, take care of the football, move the chains, and send Sims to a permanent backup role.

Well sure, that would be great. I guess I was going for what I realistically would like to see. Not sure what you suggest will happen. Here’s to hoping though!

I know I’m late but where was it announced that HH was starting today? I can’t find anything online.
