Corn Nation Takes Vow of Sobriety
Hawt take from Nebraska bathroom guy in game. Remarkably composed. Takes bis if sobriety at about the 6:50 mark in video claiming that this year‘s Nebraska team is not worth falling off the wagon for.

Unnecessary, look at me post-game thread of evening. Who the hell cares about Nebraska's fan base?
September 30th, 2023 at 7:38 PM ^
Who cares what you have to say
September 30th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
Your comment is unnecessary, if you dont want to read the thread dont click on it.
Nebraska's fanbase is terrific and I really do feel bad for them, I cannot believe how seemingly little talent they have. I dont even think our 2008 team was as bad as they are.

Username checks out. What does HappyMatt sound like?
September 30th, 2023 at 7:40 PM ^
Anyone else see the comments on that video?
There are multiple folks saying Nebraska isn't good enough to be in the B1G and should leave.
Damn, that's rough.

Nebraska sold their football soul to go to the Big Ten, and football is what really matters to them.
They would have been much better off staying in the Big 12, especially now. They could play (and recruit) more locally.
It will only get worse with USC / UCLA / Oregon / Washington coming in.
Yes they are getting all that Big Ten money, but who is actually getting it? Who is better off and happier now with it? It's not the (great) fans and students and alumni.
They would be less miserable being a bigger fish in a smaller pond.
September 30th, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
Exactly. It's not that Nebraska CAN'T be good again, but they're partly to blame themselves for the Big Ten move. Playing regional matters for certain programs, especially say Nebraska, Arkansas, South Carolina, and West Virginia. Arkansas and West Virginia were much better off in the SWC and Big East respectfully, and South Carolina would compete very well in the ACC away from Georgia. Arkansas would do well in the Big XII and I think OU and Texas are making a mistake heading for the SEC just like Arkansas did 30 years ago.

I always like watching this guy. Not sure why
September 30th, 2023 at 7:58 PM ^
Maybe it's that he just seems like a nice person.
Even though what he has to say isn't all that enlightening, there's something heartfelt about it. He's real. That's good enough.
September 30th, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
Seems like a nice dude, I agree. Haha.
Enjoy this folks. Drink it in. Remember the rough years when watching this team play in each Saturday in the fall. I try and tell myself that from time to time. Because this guy said what I think we all know about this team….not many weaknesses and if they play at their full potential ….oof, looks the part of an all timer

there’s never been an interesting or amusing “look at this crazy fan lol” video. ever.
October 1st, 2023 at 6:12 AM ^
not true
some guy posted this the other day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNfpwsb4icY&ab_channel=TomGrossi
and I definitely laughed during it
October 1st, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
Classic!
September 30th, 2023 at 7:47 PM ^
Clearly OP did not take bis if sobriety.
September 30th, 2023 at 7:49 PM ^
WTF is the point this?
You owe me 8 minutes of my life...
September 30th, 2023 at 8:07 PM ^
September 30th, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
Teach me sensei
September 30th, 2023 at 7:58 PM ^
This guy's pretty cool, actually. He's posted a lot of clever/funny material over the last few years and he's also done some historical videos about college football which were nicely done.
September 30th, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
This guy makes me sad. Maybe it's because he seems like he's probably a good guy that just has no hope and nowhere to go. It's not like there's another nearby team he can change focus to and root for. Probably should give up on football and get into something else.
September 30th, 2023 at 9:06 PM ^
Their OL was doing plenty of holding that wasn't called so no need for him to worry about that.
September 30th, 2023 at 9:17 PM ^
To my critics, the reason that I post Corn Nation’s reactions is #1 because they are often whimsically amusing and/or funny, #2 because they are heartfelt and sincere and I have compassion for their fanbase and #3 because it is a good humility check and reminder to be grateful for what we have. The Husker faithful are some of the nicest and classiest fans anywhere. I feel for them and remember quite a few lean years when we too were a punchline. It’s easy to be a fan when your team wins but it’s a lot more impressive to stay true when you have to endure wrenching and humiliating defeats, which this guy does. We have much to be thankful for.
September 30th, 2023 at 9:55 PM ^
The META issue is that these bury posts like the evening game thread that was getting a lot of interest and traffic which we've been discussing all week. I'm not your critic, have no issue with this, and don't really care but that is part of your answer.
September 30th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
If only we had a message board that bumped active topics to the top ... like 95% of message boards.
September 30th, 2023 at 10:42 PM ^
Not my pig not my farm (pun intended XM), just sayin that the evening games thread has more traffic than all of the others above it combined including the newly consolidated snow flakes.
September 30th, 2023 at 11:16 PM ^
But you're not realistically going to prevent everyone from posting new threads, so Plan B should be to lobby for this site to get a better message board.
September 30th, 2023 at 11:34 PM ^
This strikes me as a terrible idea and I, for one (and possibly the only one) am grateful MGoBlog does not have such a chaotic and confusing system like 95% of other message boards.
Someone decides to post on a three year old post and suddenly it moves to the top.
No way to easily find threads or track what's newest as they bounce up and down the list.
If the evening games thread is that important, then it should be blog created and made sticky for the day, imo.

Did I see that right on Saturday the last time Nebraska beat a top 5 team was 2001? Damn.
September 30th, 2023 at 9:45 PM ^
I was surprised to see the graphic during the broadcast that Nebraska hasn't won a conference title since 1999. Are they going to win one in the 21st century?
October 1st, 2023 at 7:32 AM ^
Not if they stay in the Big Ten.
October 2nd, 2023 at 8:58 AM ^
I think they're really missing a QB named Martinez.
