I won't hesitate in my cackling when the Buckeyes put another 60+ on these guys, but goddamit, good show corn. Good show, indeed

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Corn got screwed, i.e. Ohio State and Penn State for their crossover games. Add to it Wisky, Minnie, and Iowa; it's the toughest schedule in the B1G.....

Just like every other B1G team, corn just dropped one of their crossover games
completely fair
They had two road crossovers, had to drop one
They dropped Rutgers and kept pedo
Based entirely on distance traveled, right?

Goodness. I should probably be banned for this one; this is bad even for me.

Wrong glass, Sir.
If Scott Frost was as "great" a football coach as his President seems to think then wouldn't Ohio State be playing 3 top-25 teams?

Dan Patrick says "his source" told him the B1G purposely stuck it to Nebraska @ :34 mark:
I'm not sure he's correct, Nebraska had (at) Ohio State and Penn State on both of their original and earlier COVID-19 2020 schedules.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Nebraska accepted its invitation to join the Big Ten on June 10, 2010.
They were still celebrating in Lincoln when UNL was abruptly kicked out of the AAU, making it the only member of our Warrior Poet consortium on the outside of that exclusive academic club. The football team had not yet participated in a conference game.
Local journalists submitted a flurry of FOIA requests to try and solve how its new band of brothers could have allowed this to happen and wouldn't you know it - the calls were coming from inside the house. Michigan and Wisconsin were in the wrong column where Nebraska's AAU renewal was concerned. Quite a welcome to the neighborhood.
One decade later the intrepid football enthusiasts from Lincoln used FOIA and other legal instruments to create public urgency toward reversing what had been a muddled, awkward and comprehensively mishandled B1G season suspension. We now have football back, and the B1G's only non-AAU member helped keep that possibility in the national consciousness for a full month.
It's not the same level of passive-aggressiveness, but similar to how Nebraska was “rewarded" back in 2010 when conference members aided and abetted in its AAU dismissal, the Huskers will open their campaign in Columbus. Sneak preview:
They were scheduled to face the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions all along, but getting the three top teams in the conference over the first three weeks of the season seems...not random. Was this done on purpose?
Mmmmmmmmm yeah a little bit.
This is guaranteed to piss off Nebraska, already in the throes of its longest postseason drought ever, coupled with doused expectations for a quick, UCF-like turnaround under Scott Frost. Starting Year 3 at 0-3, a real possibility, would be unhelpful. However, actually getting to play three football games in 2020 is and should always feel like a blessing.
College football is a magnificent soap opera played out by giant teenagers and broken old men. Let's get Situational!
CLOSING: RUNNING A LITTLE BIT SCARED
Sep 28, 2019 Ryan Day and Scott Frost meet at midfield after the game at Memorial Stadium
In honor of Nebraska's heroic effort to advance a 2020 B1G season let's review its road to here:
2011: Academically-defrocked Nebraska enters B1G competition under Ohio State graduate Bo Pelini, famous for temper tantrums and being one of the "slow white guys” John Cooper complained about when discussing his inherited roster to a pre-YouTube Ohio State media contingent.
Huskers finish 9-4 as Pelini teams generally do, spared of an 8-5 record on the strength of the Night of 1,000 Bauserbombs....
2012: A 7-1 conference record, still the high watermark. Nebraska's only loss was a 63-38 setback in Columbus. Due to Ohio State and Penn State postseason suspensions the Huskers faced Leaders Division 3rd Place Champion Wisconsin and allowed 70 points, whoops.
2013-14: Two more disappointing nine-win seasons. Nebraska replaces Pelini with affable grandpa Mike Riley from Oregon State, where he was coming off four straight seasons of finishing no better than 3rd in the Pac 12 West.
2015-17: *the sound of rabid weasels feasting on a clown carcass*
2018: Nebraska hires legacy and folk legend Scott Frost to replace Riley, who was last seen coaching quarterbacks in the XFL. Lincoln quickly got its confidence back:
Huskers would fall to the Wolverines 56-10 and to the Buckeyes 36-31 that season. In 2019 they would lose to the Buckeyes 48-7 at home in a game where Ohio State had trainers, the percussion section from TBDBITL and a handful of geriatric fans who had made the trip from Columbus playing in the 4th quarter.
2020: "Running a little bit scared right now" update:
Nebraska opens in Columbus next month. Michigan is off the schedule for the second consecutive season. Are the Wolverines running a little bit scared? It's worth debating, for sure.
Thanks for getting Situational today. Go Bucks. Take care of each other.

Fuck 'em. Whatever they did or did not do to get a season, good for them, but that's over, and it's shinebox getting time again.
