The Waiting for the Nebraska - Texas Game Open Thread
As most of you know, I'd normally call this the early game open thread, but that's really quite a lie today, isn't it? The only thing on our minds is that meeting with the Longhorns at 2:30 pm.

First conscious thought that came to me this morning was, “I wonder if I missed the time change?” And it’s not even a Sunday morning.

I wondered
if someone in the media would pick up on Siminoe’s travel from Thailand to the Texas game – http://www.cornnation.com/2010/10/9/1740101/how-far-would-you-go
We had planned some other things for his trip, but they didn’t pan out. I’m not going to tell you what they are because we still might do them later. I do know he’s planning on filming his Thai wife’s reaction to the Husker game, which should be interesting to watch.

I’ve seen was that he’ll be available to play, but I wonder if we’ll really need him. Lavonte David seems to have come along very well, and since Texas won’t run any heavy sets we’ll probably stick with one linebacker.

A little from Column A, a little from Column B.
KSU was obviously vengeful but KU was obviously terrible and not even trying.

Been Nervous all night
Especially after watching the Texas Rangers blow that damn game last night. We all know what there is to be nervous about. Our play at home (not good) our record against the Longhorns 1-8 and Texas has everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Then I walked outside and saw this blight on my yard!

I am no longer Nervous and all is right with the World. We will start the game with a Flag Burning!
If it's in *your* yard...
how the heck did it get there?

I live in Texas
The EVIL Longhorn fan down the street hung it early this morning.
The good part is we now have a gathering of Mizzoo, Tech, A&M fans all gathering to burn this baby for pre-game warm up! Huskers fans are not the only ones that want those Horns clipped today.
ok, that makes sense.
Guess if they put it in your yard, it’s fair game.

Hardest part of the day?
Trying to get work done now. Because I know after the game, win or lose, I will be incapacitated for the rest of the day.
Hey, is there a way...
to get the mobile version to auto-update? I have to get some housecleaning done before the game, and it’s not gonna happen unless I get away from the computer.

If you need a good laugh to ease the pregame tension
Holy cow, this story cracked me up.
My favorite quote in there, from a 90-year-old woman:
"I’m so glad we play Texas in Lincoln this year. I just don’t like that team," she fumed. "They think they’re so damn good. But we can prove that they’re not as good as they say they are."

because it's fun....
I mean…. sports, especially college sports, are about the only thing in entertainment (and politics, etc. etc. etc. etc.) that aren’t scripted. It’s exciting to see what’s going to happen when a group of 18-21 year old men meet another group the same age.
Texas, there’s just something about overcoming Texas, that state full of adventurers and heroes. It’s John Wayne and the Alamo, man….. and then there’s all those Texas fans. :)

I have always respected the Huskers!
I am not expecting a Texas win today, hell I am just hoping Greg Davis does not throw a bubble screen on the first offensive play and that the defense will not extend drives for you guys. I just wanted to say what looks like to be the final game (at least for awhile) in this series I have always enjoyed talking football with Husker fans. I know the last decade has been rough on you guys, believe me as a Horns fan I was there during the late eighties and early/mid 90’s. I used to be stationed with a guy who was a die hard Nebraska fan and I can remember having him over at my house for that debacle you guys had at Texas Tech (I believe the score was 77-10 if I remember correctly, sorry I had to at least throw a little jab in there). I wish you guys the best of luck in the Big 10 and since the Horns are out of the title hunt, I will be rooting for you guys to bring it back to the Big 12 as you head out the door.
Dear Beergut,
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

What’s the channel number for the Big 10 net. on Dish?
Drat
Don’t get either one of them. Do you need a special package for those?
That I don't know
I think we may be paying more for a sports package, Hubby isn’t into sports, but he makes sure I can watch as many games as possible during the fall
there's a minimum level package
that Big Ten Network comes with….. something like 150+ or the 200 pack. Normally I get the multi-sports package for something like $7 a month, but the missing Fox Sports channels right now make that nearly worthless.
