OT: Nebraska Alternate Jerseys vs. Oklahoma
https://twitter.com/CFBHome/status/1425281019058479111?s=20
Folks, if your first reaction is like mine - “Is this a joke?!” - the answer is no, no it’s not.
[Ed-Seth: It's not real, but it definitely should be.]
August 11th, 2021 at 8:32 AM ^
wait, is this real?
August 11th, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
So I’ve been defending Nebraska joining the big 10 conference the entire time. I can no longer defend them.
August 11th, 2021 at 11:23 AM ^
Ditto.
I thought it was a great add at the time.
But now, instead of wishing Rutgers and MD were gone, I wish it was Rutgers and NU.
August 11th, 2021 at 8:37 AM ^
It's a joke.
August 11th, 2021 at 8:37 AM ^
They are going to look like clowns. And their uniforms will be bad too.
August 11th, 2021 at 8:57 AM ^
Worse actor, he or K.Reeves?
August 11th, 2021 at 8:59 AM ^
Here! Here!
August 11th, 2021 at 9:21 AM ^
Reeves by far. Cage has plenty of great and good work. Cage is an easy punchline bc he does really terrible movies for a paycheck, but he's actually a good actor when he takes roles seriously.
August 11th, 2021 at 9:47 AM ^
I don't disagree that Cage is the better actor, but I want to defend Reeves for a second. He certainly doesn't have huge dynamic range, but he sure is great in an action movie, and you've gotta respect the amount of work he puts into learning fight choreography. The stuff he did at his age for the John Wick films is pretty bonkers. Add in the fact that he is, by all accounts, a genuinely lovely person, and I have a hard time not liking the guy.
August 11th, 2021 at 9:57 AM ^
I agree with everything you said. I have enjoyed my share of Keanu films, but he's just not as good of an actor as Cage. Keanu is definitely the better person and, like you, I find it impossible not to like the guy.
August 11th, 2021 at 9:47 AM ^
Now granted I don't watch many movies anymore but Cage is a turd....except in Leaving Las Vegas and Bad Lieutenant 2.
Keanu has done so many gems like Point Break and uh okay they both suck but at least Keanu seems like a good dude
August 11th, 2021 at 10:03 AM ^
Cage has many more films that are good. Raising Arizona, Adaptation, Red Rock West, Birdy, Joe, Matchstick Men, Bringing Out The Dead, Moonstruck, and Con Air to name some.
August 11th, 2021 at 10:37 AM ^
Con Air? Lol.
August 11th, 2021 at 10:48 AM ^
Con Air is a fun ride that delights in its own absurdity. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not meant to be some life changing movie. Just dumb, fun action.
August 11th, 2021 at 10:42 AM ^
Con Air is hot garbage. The Rock is amazing and Cage is great in it.
August 11th, 2021 at 10:51 AM ^
The only good thing about the Rock is the theory that Sean Connerys character is James Bond
Go back and rewatch that flick, the dialogue is bad
August 11th, 2021 at 12:26 PM ^
Lord of War is a pretty legit movie.
August 11th, 2021 at 9:52 AM ^
Cage may be a clown in real life, but he can act.
August 11th, 2021 at 10:26 AM ^
That’s high praise….
August 11th, 2021 at 11:04 AM ^
Which is high praise: that Cage can act or that he's a clown?
August 11th, 2021 at 11:49 AM ^
I'm going to steal the Declaration of Independence.
August 11th, 2021 at 8:46 AM ^
The problem isn’t that they are an overalls jersey. The problem is that they are a cheap rendition of overalls. Pay for some seams.
August 11th, 2021 at 8:49 AM ^
I am very disappointed this is a joke.
August 11th, 2021 at 8:49 AM ^
They're fake, bro.
August 11th, 2021 at 8:54 AM ^
Fake
August 11th, 2021 at 8:55 AM ^
It's a joke. The "source" is an Oklahoma fan.
August 11th, 2021 at 8:58 AM ^
Sexy red camisole?
August 11th, 2021 at 9:02 AM ^
Big Red got screwed
August 11th, 2021 at 9:06 AM ^
Well, by halftime Oklahoma will have made the Hitting Frosties their bitch, so it may be appropriate after all.
August 11th, 2021 at 9:17 AM ^
I refuse to believe they're fake.
August 11th, 2021 at 9:25 AM ^
They stole this outfit from the Big Boy's mascot
August 11th, 2021 at 9:41 AM ^
It's really more like they stole their mascot from Big Boy. Or maybe vice-versa? I'm not sure which one showed up first.
August 11th, 2021 at 9:26 AM ^
Better than the Sparty mtn dew jerseys or any alternate buckeye jersey.
August 11th, 2021 at 9:40 AM ^
Worthy of Christopher Polyblend from Black Heart Gold Pants
August 11th, 2021 at 9:54 AM ^
They're kinda sexy, in a farm romance way

Damn I got took! The problem is it was totally believable in this day and age of college football.
August 11th, 2021 at 10:24 AM ^
That's ok. Still funny as heck...and they are still better than the UM clown jerseys.
August 11th, 2021 at 10:45 AM ^
Yeesh.
2014 Penn State was the only alternates I actually liked...
August 11th, 2021 at 12:13 PM ^
I may be an outlier, but when you have the best unis in college football - with the maize jerseys, DON'T FUCK WITH IT!
August 11th, 2021 at 10:30 AM ^
Scott Frost looks like a guy who skis in jeans
August 11th, 2021 at 10:38 AM ^
The good thing for them is that they're going to be getting smoked so bad on the field that no one is really going to be paying attention to how their uniforms look.
August 11th, 2021 at 10:55 AM ^
looks like a bib.... did Scott Frost's mom make those?
August 11th, 2021 at 11:11 AM ^
Though "alternate jersey" is a familiar concept, for some reason UM Indy's title made me think not alternate but inverse.
Wouldn't that be something in an alternate jersey, making it exactly the same as your opponents but flipping the colors.
August 11th, 2021 at 11:28 AM ^
The giveaway that it was fake is the overall motif was solid red.
Any self-respecting Nebraska fan knows the overalls have stripes.
August 11th, 2021 at 11:35 AM ^
"self-respecting Nebraska fan"...
August 11th, 2021 at 12:50 PM ^
I don't think anyone in this fanbase should be looking down their noses at anyone at this point.
Even Statee -- after last year's Halloween embarrassment.
August 11th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
Is there anything even close to a self-respecting Cornhusker fan?
Disclaimer: yes, I’m an OU alum. (Plus two other schools) I can’t tell the difference between between Lincoln or C-bus. Coolers are sometimes filled with things we don’t mention in polite society in both locales.
August 11th, 2021 at 4:43 PM ^
I can’t tell the difference between between Lincoln or C-bus.
Seriously?!?!
I've been to both.
When you go to C-bus you're literally taking a risk of a physical confrontation and/or property damage.
People in Lincoln are generally welcoming and friendly.
