I was at the game and was thinking at the end that we would probably lose but I never stopped thinking we might pull it out. I thought we had a puncher's chance.

By the way, I cannot stand the nickname "Nebby". Something about that really irks me like finger nails on a chalkboard.

You like Ska better? As an RU fan I like to call them Nebby. Rhymes with wimpy imo.

I'm just confused about the Nebby thing. Is it meant to be condescending like Sarah-Cuse? Or is it just a silly way to abbreviate Nebraska? In any case, it just sounds really dumb to me.

I lived in Omaha for 12 years. I can tell you authoritatively that nobody, and I mean NOBODY, refers to Nebraska as “Nebby”. Except people on our board unfamiliar with them. NU, Huskers, Cornhuskers. Yes. But Nebby is silly.

It's not an issue per se. I just don't care for it. Why not extend this to Pennsy for PSU, Westy for WVU, Texy for Texas?
How would someone know you're referring to Texas football and not Tiny Texie, the midget stripper?

I have a good friend from Milwaukee and he tells me he has never heard the word Wisky in his life till he heard it from me a few years back. I called BS on him but who knows?

As others mentioned they didn't get back from Iowa until like 2 AM. Then had to go to class the next day. Fatigue could definitely be a factor

Why did they have to go to class ? That’s bs. Should have been excused absence

It was entertaining and a great win. The team had to do a gut check. Sometimes you need to go through these situations to get better.

Nits worked fine for PSU before it was found to be Pervert State University.

Westy reminds me of the 1970s NYC West Side Hell's Kitchen Irish Mafia.
Not a good nickname for Hillbillies

Want a Texy, NYC is full of them.
But soon you'll be calling Uber to get around Manhattan.
The way Uber & Lyft are pulling in customers, the only Texys you can hail, on the street, will be located in Texas

To be fair, people--we sit at 6-3 in the B1G in third place at 15-5. Nebraska beat Iowa and Purdue, and lost by 6 to Indiana, and hasn't really been housed by anybody. B1G is really tough this season. Can see us getting 18 or 19 wins by end of the regular season, our first winning season since 2005-6 when Gary Waters was our coach. Don't see any wall, and we may just have gotten Geo really back when we need him.

Exactly. **** happens. No. 5 FSU beat a bad ND team at home today by 1 friggin’ point. The win is what matters. Now beat Purdue!
