One Frame At A Time: Nebraska Comment Count

Ace September 25th, 2018 at 10:40 AM

It was a game made for GIFs: a points-in-all-three-phases blowout with two expressive coaches and you don't have to hear Tim Bra--

Hold on, do you still work here?

I think so! I'm evidently using the company rhetorical device.

That's dehumanizing.

I'm sorry. Anyway, I couldn't let something like Donovan Peoples-Jones proving me oh-so-right about the punt returner situation pass by without making an appea--

JUST POST THE GIF.

Are you my alter ego or Brian's? Either way, you make a point.

Hot damn.

Hot damn.

[Hit THE JUMP for more hot damn.]

THE FULL ALBUM

Lives here.

HONORABLE MENTION

STARING DEEP INTO YOUR SOUL WITH EYES THAT SAY "I TOOK SOME MYSTERY PILLS LAST NIGHT."

8-Ball the Murderwolf is hilarious and clearly a good luck charm, don't @ me.

15. Lord, Never Let Me Make Don Brown This Angry

Note the score.

If my lip-reading is correct (it is), Brown also took issue with the Khaleke Hudson targeting ejection.

14. Release, Snag, Toe-Drag

That's damn pretty, Nico Collins.

13. Damn The Muff Rule

Still fun, though. Absolute wreckage from Jake McCurry.

12. Lawrence Marshall Saves The Day (Okay, First Quarter)

Great to see a Michigan kid who could've easily decided the slog to playing time wasn't worth it make a huge play in front of the home crowd.

11. Frostfaces

The slumped head of early resignation:

The pursed lips of late disgust:

Bonus: Husker defender perplexed by scoreboard.

10. Bright Side/Pit Check

So, I originally cut this GIF shorter, only focused on the Nebraska fan looking on the bright side of life. Then a couple twitter followers pointed out the man on the left, and... I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

9. THWATSON

Hint of a Woodson shoulder shimmy in there.

8. OL' MURDERFFENCE

Bo.

Is.

So.

Proud.

Sorry. BO IS SO PROUD.

7. Higdon To The House/DPJ Safety Killer

He looks healthy.

Bonk.

6. Eat Your Heart Out

I'm very glad this was an insane rip-own-heart-out celebration instead of an insane bite-the-pin-from-a-grenade celebration because you gotta throw that thing, man.

5. Too Slow

Maybe this is why Patterson doesn't always throw to the ent.

4. Volleyball Safety

A deeply weird play but in a great way.

3. Rashan Gary Is Terrifying

No options.

"Maybe if we roll the pocke-- oh."

2. Devin Bush Is Terrifying

Nowhere to run.

Nowhere to hide.

FRAMES OF THE GAME: VINDICAAAAAAATIOOOOOOOON

Broadcast angle:

Replay that emphasizes the absurd explosiveness of DPJ's cross-field cut:

The spin, enhanced:

He can keep the job.

Thanks for the work, Ace!

Question for the readers:

Am I the only one who cannot play the embedded GIFs? The first one plays automatically, but the others never start, even when manually hitting play. I need to open a new window to see each one, and it's a bit annoying, especially when I am on mobile. I just want to see murder and destruction playing out before my eyes on a single page. I'm not sure if it is a browser issue or a 3.0 issue, so if someone could help me out I would appreciate it.

Welcome back Ace! OFAAT is one of my favorite in season features and I’ve been sad without it. I was just thinking yesterday that after such a fun game to watch it was disappointing that there wouldn’t be an OFAAT Tuesday to continue to celebration. So thanks for the pleasant surprise and I hope your health is improving!

I would say Devin Bush is terrifying like a blood thirsty junk yard dog that rips it's prey to shreds, and proudly brings the mutilated carcass back to it's owner to show what a good job it's done.

In regards to the:

Bo

Is

So

Proud

Sequence.

I'm reminded of the passage from the old Mitch Albom Biography where Bo was talking about how Woody would draw it up on the chalkboard with great exuberance, and claim that if properly executed no defense could stop it.

Bo said " When it's executed, it preys on the defenses mind. We can't stop the fullback. We can't stop the Goddamn Fullback." to this I say more, please.

For the record:  I have been to 2 home games in DPJ's time on campus, in both games he's scored on punt returns.

I am willing to accept any and all ticket donations to see if its an actual thing.

McCurry had a superb block on the punt return as well. Had a chance to take out a chaser and instead ran ahead about 10 yards that allowed DPJ to put his on his moves and reach paydirt.

can someone with any kind of picture editing savvy please crop Winovich’s head on Mola Ram’s body from Indiana Jones? Preferably as he’s ripping that dude’s heart out?

Seriously, I’d love to hear him start yelling “KALI MA!!” after each big play he creates, and pretending to rip out a man’s heart.
