The nub boards are the most bland place on the internet. I looked during the game and found almost nothing funny/sad/witty. That program is going to go out with a whimper.

They aren't even good at melting down anymore. The big 10 has taken away their spirit. Just random posts of "Tressel is available" in between posts about how they never really believed in Pelini. Really "Beige" stuff.

That's sad to hear. They used to have such expectations.

FOOTBALL
Barfknecht: Gordon-led Badgers respond in a record way

Column by Lee Barfknecht / World-Herald staff writer | Updated 12 hours ago

MADISON, Wis. — NCAA football rushing history doesn’t come along often these days.

In an era when the forward pass is considered God’s gift to the game, running backs too often are relegated to change-of-pace or even decoy duty. Only one true tailback in this century has won the Heisman Trophy.

On Saturday, Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon put himself in prime position to join Alabama’s Mark Ingram in 2009 on the winner’s list.

Gordon did more carrying a football in a single game during Saturday’s 59-24 drubbing of Nebraska than O.J. Simpson or Billy Sims or Earl Campbell or Archie Griffin or Mike Rozier or Bo Jackson or Barry Sanders or anybody from the rushing era.

“He’s the best of the best,” Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said.

Look at those names again and understand what Gordon’s 408 yards on 25 carries — in only three quarters — means.

The junior from Kenosha, Wisconsin, wiped away the rushing mark of 406 yards set 15 years ago by TCU’s LaDainian Tomlinson. More importantly, note who Tomlinson’s record came against.

It was perennial pushover UTEP. In fact, most of the NCAA’s top 10 rushing efforts have come against piddling programs — now-defunct Pacific, Eastern Michigan twice, Akron and Missouri twice in the 1990s when the Tigers were toothless.

Gordon did it against Nebraska.

Yes, Nebraska, which entered the game 25th nationally in total defense and is a school so proud of its defensive heritage that it has a nationally known nickname of Blackshirts.

After Saturday’s utter mess, somebody needs to collect those sacred black practice jerseys and lock them up for as long as so-called defensive guru Bo Pelini is the head coach.

If you think that’s a minority opinion, round up the tweets of some former Huskers as the yardage meter spun faster and faster.

The only people who knew Gordon would get the ball a lot Saturday were the 80,539 people in Camp Randall Stadium and millions more watching on television.

Yet the 6-foot-1, 213-pounder still broke off single-play gains of 42, 62, 16, 39, 44, 43, 68 and 26 yards before jollying on the sideline for the entire fourth quarter.

That’s a sign of Gordon’s greatness, and a clanging alarm for anybody who thinks Nebraska football is either improving or nationally relevant (I’m talking to you, Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst).

The Blackshirts’ lone consolation prize was they almost made Gordon cry.

Early in the second quarter, with Nebraska leading 17-10, the Huskers forced and recovered a second fumble from Gordon. On the sideline, teammates and coaches tried to console him.

“I was just out of it,” he said. “We had the momentum. We were driving down the field. Losing the ball can really turn the game around. It was kind of depressing.”

The message was the Badgers still looked to Gordon to make game-changing plays despite the early adversity.

Ah, yes. Adversity.

“We’re coached to be ready for it,” Gordon said. That’s called “a money quote.”

How did Wisconsin respond after his second fumble?

The Badgers took the ball away from Nebraska I-back Terrell Newby four plays later, then scored again in two plays — a 39-yard burst from Gordon and 17-yard run from backup Corey Clement.

How did Nebraska respond to that tying touchdown? By turtling.

The Husker offense, on its next seven possessions, gained the following number of first downs: 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1 and 0. Wisconsin in that span went touchdown, punt, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown and touchdown.

Here comes another “money quote.”

“This team was ready for the moment,” UW’s Andersen said.

This nationally staged contest essentially was for a trip to the Big Ten championship game as the West Division representative and a chance to boost Heisman Trophy bids for Gordon and Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah.

“This game meant a lot, forget about the statistics,” Gordon said. “If we lost this game, we knew it would be tough for us to get a Big Ten championship.”

Nebraska, with two weeks to prepare and the alleged desire to finally win a meaningful road game, pulled its all-hat-no-cattle routine. The Huskers are all but certain to add another year to their conference championship drought that goes back through 2000.

I asked Andersen how his 24th-ranked offense could drill holes worth 627 yards into a top 25 defense like Nebraska’s. He praised his offensive coaches for configuring a highly refined game plan in five days.

“We had very good schemes that were difficult to handle,” Andersen said. “I don’t spend a lot of time with the offensive coaches, but I do get a look at practice every single day.

“There are a lot of moving parts. And there is a lot of physicality. When those kids get a little momentum going, they pride themselves on being able to run the ball.”

Then came another “money quote.”

“This team,” Andersen said, “prepares very, very, very well, and they practice smart against each other.”

Especially Gordon, with the proof being his record 408 yards.

“Hearing that number,” UW offensive tackle Rob Havenstein said, “you’re thinking you would be tired if that was a regular conditioning drill, let alone a football game against Nebraska, a top defense. Melvin is that special a guy.”

What is special about Nebraska remains much more difficult to see.

This is disappointing. We were so close last year.

OK, I'm going to give this a shot.

Quote
Lot of questions start to be answered today.
...
Just five agonizing hours until we begin to get answers to those and more. So, what the hell - grab a beer, grab a seat, grab your mouse (I said "MOUSE" BRI!!!) and post your in-game comments, commendations, and critiques here.

Oh, yeah, one more thing...


GBR!!!!!!!

Quote
It wont be easy, but we win by 6. GBR!

Quote
The really crappy thing is that even if we win--its only a big win to us--and not to the rest of the world.
don't concern yourself with this, friend.


Quote
Here we go!!

Quote
We stopped them and we got points. Ameer looks good. Good start.

Quote
they can't pass, that's huge
:dubious:

Quote
Their offensive line hasn't seen anything like our D-line.
nope, not even purdue is like your d-line.

Quote
TOUCHDOWN GBFRIGGINRED!!!

Quote
BTW Kansas is beating TCU :)
keeping those husker playoff hopes alive!

Quote
This is an important series for this team as far as our overall confidence for the rest of this game is concerned.
they got a stop here. nice call, nostradamus.

Quote
-HUGE! Simply huge momentum shifting play. Great job Blackshirts!
 Now for the offense to put the foot on their throat.

- GBR! Our defense is playing incredible

-BLACK$HIRTS BABAY!
confidence rising

I'm beginning to smell 60pts on these mofos
Quote
I want triple digits...screw Wisconsin

Quote
Time to shove it up their turd cutters guys.  Get up by 14 and shut em down on the next drive.
yep, time to shove it up their turd cutters.

Quote
I hope at the end of this day we are talking about our statement game.
well...

we've crested.
Quote
sh#t!

Quote
So now I guess Wisconsin will figure out not to run up the middle and we're screwed unless we score a TD on every drive.
clairvoyant.

Quote
Guys better strap in. It could get pretty bumpy.

Quote
Hopefully this isn't UCLA all over again
oh it's going to be worse, much worse.

Quote
Wow... 3 fumbles by Gordon.  Abdullah may not have the yardage Gordon has, but he's protecting the ball when he has it.

Quote
If the BIG10 is smart these refs would have every call go Nebraska's way, they need two 11-1 teams in the conference title game if they want to have a shot at the playoff

Quote
i retract my earlier prediction that gordon will get 200 yards.  it will be closer to 300

whenever something bad happens they all type variations of the word "crap" using symbols so that it's not a real swear.

Quote
And here we go...
 
The story of Nebraska for the last decade and a half.

Lets go blackshirts.
keepin' the faith!

I don't even know what to say. This sh#t has to stop. This is why we get no respect

Huskers will get the bleeding stopped. Hope they aren't little quitters like the supposed "fans"...

I really don't know how Nebraska as a program can get out of this 15 year black hole? Think about that 15 years!
 
We don't have an identity anymore. We still play undisciplined. How do you explain to someone what Nebraska football has been like over the last 15 years? Tell them to go look at a roller-coaster.

Quote
ok time to hit the locker room.  Regroup.  Make some adjustments.  And come back out firing in the second half.  I am not giving up that easily.  We are still in this game.  It's just one score.
 
Gotta run to 7/11 and get some beer.  Didn't think I needed any today.  damn

Quote
I'd just like to keep Gordon under 299 at this point

Quote
I swear I have typed the same crap into Nebraska football message boards for the last five seasons.

Quote
I'm not watching anymore. Not for the reason you think, but I'm so confident we will still win this game I'm going to go get drunk in my garage. In the morning I'll be a prophet. Keepin the faith! Go big ref!
go big ref.

Quote
here comes the Gordon show

Quote
At least the basketball team plays tomorrow
emphasis added.

Quote
The problem is we play in a weak conference. We will win 9 games and suck. It's like a Frickin curse. Bo won't get fired.

Quote
f#*k this team. Another big game another embarrassing performance. Can't wait to see how Pelini spins this. Get him out of there and he can take Beck and Cotton with him. Can't wait to see what recruits decommit after watching this piss poor performance.

Quote
This feels like the end of a long, sad saga.

Quote
I renounce state citizenship.

Quote
And now we have to experience this every year because they are now in our division.

Quote
Can we please just forfeit?

Quote
Next time I complain about the lack of ESPN respect, I will remember this moment.

Quote
from domination to laughing stock in less than 10 years.

Quote
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again
that's the stuff we come here for.

Quote
The vaunted Blackshirts now hold the NCAA record for most rush yards allowed. Congrats everyone

Quote
I will definitely be boycotting next week's home game. My 2 seats will not be sold and will not be filled. This has gone on for far too long. Winning 9 games a year against teams like Illinois, Purdue and SW Directional U while losing to every top 25 team you play is bad enough. Getting humiliated on national TV consistently is too much. WE the FANS have to make the University understand this is unacceptable!

The announcers for the TTU/OU game just said Nebraska is embarrassing lol
