ISU-Nebraska Comes To An End

And we'll never see them again*

What a way to end this rivalry. So said to say. Listened to KXNO all week and heard people call in about it. I didn't feel like it was a huge deal but now knowing *the only way we'll see them again is in a bowl that kind of sucks. Prior to this decade it was crazy one-sided but there have been some awesome games in the last 10 years. 2004 being my favorite.

This year... damn what a terrible ending. You've got 30 seconds, all your time outs, you're playing at home, and came back from the dead? Try and move the ball to win in regulation. That would blow the stadium up. Instead, we went with the scared move of waiting for overtime. If you're on a roll, you don't do anything to kill your momentum and overtime jitters will kill it. If you have your opponent reeling on the ropes, you go for the knock out, not wait for the bell.

And overtime, I'm 100% behind that call, but you can't have your punter throwing the ball. Put in Arnaud or Tiller to hold, the other team may sniff it out but at least that ball pass would have had a better toss. Teams are always putting their QB in as the field goal place holder. You can't run that play with that kid as your QB. Get all the way to the finish line only to run out of gas in the final stretch... ouch. Well atleast we'll be able to unload our angst on the Buffs. Go Clones!
