I wish I could enjoy this more.  Don't get me wrong, I'm thoroughly enjoying it, but it would be even better if we had our crap together and were a top 25 team.

Snapping the ball on the ground 10 yards past the qb on 4 and 1 in OT was quintessentially Nubb.  :love:

The onside kick didn't even hurt Northwestern.  99 yards and no time outs, they're the new Iowa state

That dude in the K-State sweatshirt, looks A LOT like Shay Wildeboor. Also I don't think that sweatshirt is old, I got a hoodie with the same Willie logo this summer.

The old Tom & Jerry looking Willie is making a healthy comeback.  Dude's sweatshirt is actually cutting edge.

I'd be OK if we went to that look for Willie mascot.  Full-bodied mascot instead of the weird part human stuff.

That old wildcat tugs at my nostalgic heart strings. I got a super dope corduroy hat in the 80's with that cat on it lol. I think my first K-State piece of gear.

Yeah the 80s-ish logo goes well with the 80s-ish team that's also making a comeback.

I haven't bought anything with a Powercat on it in several years.  When Bill goes I'd be fine if the Powercat went too.

Officiating bias against Frost?

I recall that newbie Nebraska came into the Big Ten favored to challenge for the Big Title in its 1st year joining the league. If you think that caused resentment among the other Big Ten teams, I suspect you’re correct. If you think that caused bias against Nebraska, I suspect you’re correct.   

 

Move forward to 2018. The new head coach for Nebraska just won several coach-of-the-year honors for the 2017 season, lead UCF to a major bowl win over Auburn and declared that UCF deserved to be crowned National Champion. He had a compelling argument since UCF beat Auburn, who had beaten Alabama and Georgia, the two teams that played for the official National Championship. If you think the UCF coach’s statements caused some resentment and bias against him, and some angst among the official National Championship folks, I suspect you’re correct.

 

Harken back to the post-1997 season when the Nebraska QB lead his team to victory over Tennessee in the bowl game to win the National Championship. Clearly, Nebraska throttled and dominated Tennessee in that championship game. In contrast, Michigan, who shared the National Championship that year with Nebraska, barely defeated a very marginal Washington State in less-than-impressive fashion. Subsequent to that win, the Nebraska QB declared his position that Nebraska deserved to be awarded the National Championship. That declaration by the Nebraska QB, and subsequent share of the National Championship caused significant resentment in the Big Ten, and continues to cause resentment among the Michigan faithful. To this day, Michigan maintains that they were robbed of a consensus 1997 National Championship due to the Nebraska QB’s statements.       

 

So for 2018, Scott Frost, that 1997 National Championship Nebraska QB and 2017 highly-honored deserved National Championship UCF coach, returned to Nebraska, obviously now in the Big Ten. Based on some one-sided officiating seen this year against Nebraska, one has to ask if others set out to ensure a disappointing season in Scott Frost’s Big Ten inaugural season.

I think those are all very obviously solid points, I’m just having trouble determining when exactly the officiating bias against Nebraska began based on the account.
