I haven’t felt this excited since I was a kid going trick-or-treating on Halloween. Nebraska has a real chance to make it to a bowl game and win the rest of the games on their schedule.

Why, do we have so much optimism? One word “Ohio”. Winning at Ohio was certainly well within our grasp. The game that all Husker fans had circled on their calendar as the game Nebraska would lose... We played like CHAMPIONS!

I’ve never been so proud to wear a Husker jersey as I walked out of that Ohio State Stadium last Saturday. With my head held high and smiling, I sensed what could be.

Please join us this week as we prepare to play UCLA Bruins for the first time in the Big Ten. Come ready to celebrate Halloween as we do it the best way we know, by talking Husker Football.

On Huskers Happy Hour tonight at 8PM, we’ll talk about this weekend’s opponent, the UCLA Bruins and which Huskers team will show up to take a third consecutive swing at bowl eligibility and that elusive 6th victory.

Two weekends ago, the Huskers were shellacked 56-7 by then #22 Indiana, but the rebounded last weekend in a tight 21-17 to loss to #4 Ohio State, their trash-throwing Texas-copying fans and the foul Big 10 refs. The defense finally got top tier performance against a quality top-6 offense and nearly stole a huge upset in Columbus.

Ah, yes, the B1G and their big-program-protecting zebras finally got called out on a national level after another perversion of unbiased refereeing to where the league actually felt the pressure…and apologized for one of their multiple egregious and likely very intentional “errors”.

Yep, we’ll chat a bit about that as well.

This week on the Overreaction show, Hoss and Jake will recap their whirlwind trip to Columbus, OH for the Nebraska/Ohio State game.

Greg is here too and the trio will discuss the Huskers’ 21-17 loss to the Buckeyes.

What went right and wrong offensively? No one is getting a dollar every time “screen pass” is mentioned so you don’t have to beat that particular dead horse. How did the defense respond after giving up 56 points to the Hoosiers?

Officiating will be discussed, because we can’t escape poor officiating.

The guys will break down some of Matt Rhule’s post game comments and what the performance this past weekend means for this team moving forward.

We’ll have Risers and Fallers, award game balls, and provide our UCLA predictions.
