Nebraska just beat the No. 1 team in the country on the road with its No. 4 starter (maybe?), missing the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, running the bases like it’s downed at least four Elk Creek pitchers in an hour all while its shortstop pitched the final 4.2 innings. Baseball!

Nebraska, a school by all accounts has taken COVID-19 seriously and was buying its own rapid testing before a conference mandated one, is the one getting shit nationally and not any place that’s had outbreaks. All because it has audacity of wanting to play like everyone else.

Constantly berating, belittling, bemoaning the people who play football for the college team you've chosen to care about and cheer for says more about you as a person than those individuals as players. There's never a reason to be an asshole as it relates to your football team.

There's not a bigger quote I've wanted to hear than Matt Rhule saying "Every player on the team is my guy." Covered two different coaching changes where the conversation was about "getting their guys" so its refreshing to see a HC say everyone is his guy. That's real culture.
