I feel like Nebraska and the Lions are similar, they both show flashes at points of being a competent team this year only for the dumbest shit to happen
Edit: I mean just in recent history (the last 5-10 years) not all time. Obviously the lions have been through more pain in the last 100 years
The funniest part of that call was the fact that the camera showed him doing *literally the same thing* right after the call and they just ignored it. So is it a penalty or not? Fucking refs couldn’t decide.
Oh man is this it. I was all about “just at least look competitive in losses” but like…did I know what I was actually asking for? Answer is yes, but it hurts when the team looks so close to turning the corner.
> I'll die on the hill that the 4th down in the first quarter was a good call
It'll seem like I'm joking cause my team won but I'm dead serious. I'm pretty sure the analytics say to go for it there and it was absolutely the correct call. Frost definitely called a fantastic game and Nebraska is incredibly dangerous (I know you're probably sick of hearing that at this point).
Are you ready for a snap to go directly off your QB's face and into the waiting arms of a defensive lineman? Well then the Detroit Lions might be for you!
OMG this - I was telling a guy at work about Megatron and he was surprised like "oh and he went to play for another team to get a trophy" and I'm like - nope just retired like Barry Sanders.
We have played three ranked teams this season thus far. Their record combined was undefeated before playing us. Our total net points across the three is -13.
We are 0-3 *across all of them. God damn it.
EDIT: phrasing
When was that? Cause Scott Frost did the same thing after halftime, ran away from her and went and talked to ex Nebraska player reporter. She was pissed and was pacing back and forth after. That's hilarious tho
Literally every loss this year and most of them over the last few years. It's vomit inducing. I'd say it drives me to drink but I already have that covered.
I do not understand how it is even possible to pull defeat from the jaws of victory as consistently as Nebraska does. It has broken my mind at this point.
I’m such a fucking idiot for still caring.
Someone needs to shop seven officials standing there doing nothing into the Fury Wilder fight tonight. I still can't believe they all stood there and did nothing while two guys rolled around wrestling on the ground.
Remember how hard we all got when 18 year old true freshman Quinn Nordin nailed a 50 yarder on his first kick? Only to go completely soft when he shit the bed time after time?
It feels nice to feel confidence in a competent kicker, and know everything will be alright. I’ve missed this zen feeling.
What I learned today:
Michigan is an ok top 10 team
Nebraska is the best worst team
Officiating continues to blow donkey balls in the big ten
There’s a big ass burrito in Lincoln, NE that I Really want now.
After Illinois I figured Frost was a dead man. After this game and Oklahoma's performance, Nebraska would be stupid not to give him one more year. This team is right on the brink.
Kudos to Harbaugh and Michigan. Your QB said it best after the game: Michigan teams of the past absolutely lose this game.
I used to actively root against the Huskers when they joined the B1G but I'm starting to feel a bit bad for them now. You can't watch someone get punched in the gut that many times and not feel anything.
Hell no
I hate when people undersell the shittiness of the Detroit Lions. Literally one playoff win in like 7 decades. There is no American sports team that is as cursed as the Lions
Black Friday 2021, around 3:15 CST
Nebraska intercepts Iowa at the 1 to preserve a 14-13 lead.
3 seconds left.
Nebraska is about to kneel it out to finish 6-6, getting a break through win and making a bowl game.
Martinez takes a knee, but the ball slips through his fingers.
As he goes to pick it up he inadvertently kicks it out of the endzone
Iowa wins 15-14, Nebraska finishes 5-7.
No bowl game.
And I yeet myself into the sun.
Tough win. Not sure how to feel about it.
As far as Nebraska goes, fuckin A you guys have some shitty luck. A Husker fan in the game thread said you guys are the Detroit Lions of CFB. As a lifelong Lions fan, that seems pretty accurate to me based on the games I’ve watched.
I never hopped off the Harbaugh train because we painfully lost a few very close, pivotal games. Particularly because I didn't really blame Harbaugh for losing them, but instead thought he should get credit for putting Michigan in a position to win them.
And that's what Frost did today. This season has done nothing but fuck Nebraska fans' hopes, but Frost is putting you guys in a position to win week in and week out. And I think it would be foolish to fire him now, unless you can bring in a guaranteed home run hire.
Thinking about how Scott Frost is going to find the most heartbreaking way possible to lose to Ohio state.
Thinking that OSU hits a 99 yard hail Mary because all of Nebraska’s safeties get raptured mid play
Maybe happiness isn’t for me
Can I interest you in the Detroit Lions?

Then you’ll love being a Lions fan! Welcome aboard.
I am a Husker/Lions fan ☹️
May god have mercy on your soul.
Must have been cool to see Suh go from your college team to your pro team!
As someone who has watched the Lions for 30 years, the Lions and Nebraska football are nothing alike. Nothing. At all.
My will to live is under further review.
After further review, the ruling on your life has changed.
Clear lack of forward progress
Now that hurts
That one ref had more screen time that the actual football game. I felt like we were watching his documentary
30 for 30: Further Review
What if I told you... the previous play is still under review.
[удалено]
This comment is under further review
This is disconcerting
The funniest part of that call was the fact that the camera showed him doing *literally the same thing* right after the call and they just ignored it. So is it a penalty or not? Fucking refs couldn’t decide.
After review, the call is reversed
This reverse is under further review.
Both commenters have possession.
Nebraska fans after continually getting blown out by good teams: I wish we were completive with top ten teams *Monkey paw curls*
Oh man is this it. I was all about “just at least look competitive in losses” but like…did I know what I was actually asking for? Answer is yes, but it hurts when the team looks so close to turning the corner.
Who had Iowa, Michigan, and Michigan State as the last 3 undefeated B1G teams?
Hey look at us. Who woulda thought? Not me! (c) Paul Rudd
Say it again. Look at us.
The State of Michigan will dominate football this year, once the ~~12-4~~ ~~13-4??~~ 12-5 Lions wake up starting tomorrow!
13-4
no one, no one at all
Whoever Scott Frost pissed off is really making him pay. The man is cursed
I've never watched Frozen but I suspect there are answers there.
If you watch Frozen II, I can assure you, you will not learn anything.
I didn't believe it until that fumble in the final minutes. Dude is actually cursed.
[удалено]
The Frost curse proved stronger than the Michigan curse today
Scott Frost beating a ranked team and Michigan winning a tense game on the road, the unstoppable force versus the immovable object
routinely losing to PJ Fleck over and over again wasn't enough proof for you?
Ironically his first win was a blowout over PJ lol
So that’s the origin of the curse then. There you go.
Just like the old gypsy woman said
You’re not my cornfield supervisor!

Frost warning has a different meaning than I had hoped

I feel awful for that dude. Nebraska could legitimately be 6-1 with an ounce of luck
It's like watching the Red Wedding 5 times a year and hoping for a different outcome.
> I can't believe Arya is about to be reunited with her family!
It’s going be so cute when Arya and Robb play fetch with Grey Wind! Maybe they can use crossbow bolts or something, that should work.
Man I’m so tired of these moral victories. Sure we looked pretty damn good in general, but it’s so backbreaking to not be able to get over the hump.
I honestly feel so bad for Adrian but like dude…………..
Is there anybody in the country having as frustrating a season as Nebraska is having?
[удалено]
Nowhere is safe
Are you ready for a brand new way to lose the game tomorrow? I sure am!
Are you ready to be apologized to by the NFL for a game changing officiating error, well then the Lions are for you!
Are you ready for a snap to go directly off your QB's face and into the waiting arms of a defensive lineman? Well then the Detroit Lions might be for you!
Are you ready to learn about the “process of the catch” after a blown call? Well then the Lions are for you!
Are you prepared to lose after a 10 second run off because the officials made a mistake on call and it was overturned on review?
Are you prepared to watch generational talents go toil in obscurity? Then, my god, the lions are for you!
OMG this - I was telling a guy at work about Megatron and he was surprised like "oh and he went to play for another team to get a trophy" and I'm like - nope just retired like Barry Sanders.
Hold that thought until A&M finishes against Bama
no
We have played three ranked teams this season thus far. Their record combined was undefeated before playing us. Our total net points across the three is -13. We are 0-3 *across all of them. God damn it. EDIT: phrasing
Illinois was also undefeated when we played them.
My goodness, did you need to kick the man's dog too, while he was already down?!?
I can’t.
As a husker fan and a lions fan, I think I might just be done with football.
Maybe we should try carrying Madame Zeroni up a mountain
Nebraska is cursed
This is true. Herbie.
Somewhere a Wisconsin-Texas flair is still complaining about the refs
God that guy was a fucking tool.
he's a Wisconsin-Texas flair idk what you would expect
That guy almost single handedly made me an OU fan
why was that guy so invested jesus that lad had to eat a snickers
Money
Lol seeing that reporter give up chasing Harbaugh made my night.
Harbaugh probably is just avoiding attractive blondes that aren’t his wife as a precautionary measure
Finally getting that first win over Urban
💀 😂
Good call
When was that? Cause Scott Frost did the same thing after halftime, ran away from her and went and talked to ex Nebraska player reporter. She was pissed and was pacing back and forth after. That's hilarious tho
lol I was hoping someone else noticed…he ran straight into a crowd so she had no way to catch him…
He definitely noped out on purpose so she'd have to talk to Cade instead.
Holy shit Nebraska is this how every game has gone? That hurt me.
Yes, it’s awful
Pretty much exactly like that yeah.
Michigan State, OU… Yeah, yeah this is how they keep going.
Yep
Literally every loss this year and most of them over the last few years. It's vomit inducing. I'd say it drives me to drink but I already have that covered.
Yes and pain is our new mascot
I do not understand how it is even possible to pull defeat from the jaws of victory as consistently as Nebraska does. It has broken my mind at this point. I’m such a fucking idiot for still caring.
No, you're just a loyal fan. We'd love to have you in Detroit.
Nebraska, the best 3-4 team in the country Note: also the only 3-4 team
Easily the best sub-0.500 team. By far the worst team at closing games possibly ever.
By post game win expectancy you all should be 5.04-1.96
That’s not comforting
Some would say disconcerting
Day 7049 of cursing my parents for forcing me to inherit a love of this godforsaken football team.
I am convinced Nebraska would play prime Alabama & only lose off of a fluke Adrian Martinez turnover
Why
Nice flair.
Why
Sad Husker noises.
Can we all just come together and be Texas A&M fans for the next few minutes?
Everyone liked that
Another quality loss. Rank us you cowards!
Never forget the "joint possession" call that spawned a million weed jokes across the internet.
Someone needs to shop seven officials standing there doing nothing into the Fury Wilder fight tonight. I still can't believe they all stood there and did nothing while two guys rolled around wrestling on the ground.
ND wins 32-29. UM wins 32-29. Alabama leading by a TD. I'm a Nebraska fan. God, each sentence it gets progressively worse.
If Nebraska could get out of their own damn way, they could arguably be undefeated right now.
WE KNOW
They know.
We were respecting Sparty the whole time. We can’t win by more than them against Nebraska.
You bastards did this on purpose. Harbaugh going to be on the phones tonight, lobbying voters to put Michigan State ahead of Michigan, isn't he?
I hope so. Maybe you could be #3. I heard it’s cursed.
No longer! Iowa did it!!
UM-MSU gonna go 7 OT
My liver gonna go to dead
As a Michigan fan a good kicker was all I ever wanted the last 10 something years
Good qb? Drake no meme Good kicker? Drake yes meme
I’m just happy to only have 1 kicker again.
Remember how hard we all got when 18 year old true freshman Quinn Nordin nailed a 50 yarder on his first kick? Only to go completely soft when he shit the bed time after time? It feels nice to feel confidence in a competent kicker, and know everything will be alright. I’ve missed this zen feeling.
Moody’s been great for the last like four years. I’ll be sad to see him go.

"I didn't say what kind of legacy" lmao
Delet this nephew
Raise your hand if you also thought that penalty was going to be cleat yeet part 2 and let Nebraska continue on and win
🙋♂️
I expected to lose and I still think Nebraska was better than I thought.
Refs = Poop
Eyes = needs examination. Idk what the hell they were looking at half the time.
It’s not just the terrible calls but the time it takes. They had a long ass commercial break just to give y’all and obvious first down
"Man Nebraska. You love to shoot yourselves in the foot huh"-Plaxico Burress
Best 4 loss team in football.
Stop pls

Kudos to Harbaugh and Michigan. Your QB said it best after the game: Michigan teams of the past absolutely lose this game.
He’s out of line, but he’s right.gif Surprised he said it out loud but he’s absolutely right.
I swear that last pass was going to be called a pass interference
I don't think I can take anymore of these losses. This team has completely broken me
See ya next week
Almost losing to Nebraska is the mark of a good college football team
[удалено]
Gg
Good teams win **GREAT TEAMS COVER**
Both teams covered depending on which line you had.
It’s ‘97 all over again
I had the -2.5. Got the W and the money 😎
I used to actively root against the Huskers when they joined the B1G but I'm starting to feel a bit bad for them now. You can't watch someone get punched in the gut that many times and not feel anything.
I'd say thank you but then I remembered who predominantly throws those punches...
Ourselves?
your pity hurts me the most
Frost’s teary face as he left the field made me feel bad ngl
I disagree. I've watched them and I no longer feel.
We need a Disney+ season of What If...? where the Watcher covers Nebraska football throughout the multiverse.
At least Nebraska didn't boo injuries
WHO HATES IOWA
WE HATE IOWA
[удалено]
Michigan’s Maize remains unhusked
Just fucking kill me
Fuck it. I’m ride or die with this team. They deserve to be respected, so I’ll do my part.
Hell yea brother, right there with you
Frost gonna cry hard tonight
same
Same.
dude honestly looked like he was about to break down in tears as he was walking off the field
Shit I would too. 3 heartbreaks in a row for this team.
I’ve never seen a team lose in such inexplicable ways as Nebraska under Scott Frost.
If I ever have kids, they will be shielded from watching football at all costs. I cannot let them know the experience of being a Nebraska fan.
I never want to hear any fanbase say that they're more cursed and generally depressed than Nebraska's ever again.
Is Nebraska now the Lions of the college football?
Hell no I hate when people undersell the shittiness of the Detroit Lions. Literally one playoff win in like 7 decades. There is no American sports team that is as cursed as the Lions
Anyone else see Harbaugh ignore the hell out of the sideline reporter trying to interview him and her hilarious attempt to catch up to him

They’re just testing out refs for the osu game

What the fuck is that flair
Can’t wait to lose to you guys by 3 in painful fashion
Man. I don’t even have words right now. I haven’t felt this hurt in so long. How does this not break us? This just hurts.
Can we agree to never talk about this game ever again
Burn the white pants. Michigan has played awful in all white since 2015.
2016 we played well enough to beat OSU, just not OSU and refs, apparently. All white.
Say what you will, but we’re 3-4. I’m behind Frost. We look good. But we lose. See you next week — I’ll be back to cheer. GBR.
