In the same vein as Promethium's Nebraska football roundups that I acknowledged but never read:
Groundhog day.
Six hundred twenty-seven (627) total yards against Nebraska's 9th-ranked defense looking like a bunch of clowns on national television at the hands of the Badgers, again.
Gordon ran for almost a quarter-mile against the flailing #Blackshirts.
He broke a 15-year-old FBS record for most rushing yards in a game...and he only played 3 quarters.
Pelini, Bo. Coach, Mouthbreather. 2014. Nebraska knew Wisconsin was a run-heavy offense with a couple worthless quarterbacks.
With two weeks preparation, they still got dominated by the same expected game plan used to beat them several times prior.
This "storied" program constantly harking back to times long gone hasn't been relevant on a national stage for at least 15 years.
Despite aging Nebraska football fans clinging to the past, the reality is that Nebraska's athletics' identity is best characterized as a mediocre BIG10 basketball school.
Nebraska now holds the distinction of having the most allowed yards in NCAA history for a receiver (Troy Edwards, 405 yards, Louisiana Tech, 1998) and FBS history for a running back (Melvin Gordon, III, 408 yards, Wisconsin, 2014).
Pretty entertaining listening to these Nebraska-nice Fireball-fueled delusional homers finally starting to crack on the post-game call-in radio show.

Quote:
Madison police Lt. Eric Tripke said 22-year-old Bryce Consbruck, of Nebraska, was on North Broom and West Gorham streets at 2:05 a.m. when he intentionally ran into traffic in an attempt to jump over a Union Taxi cab as it drove by. Consbruck failed the jump and suffered facial injuries in the process.
Consbruck gave the officers an expletive laden statement in which he hopes the 'Huskers' defeat the Badgers and that he promises to 'never try and jump over a moving car again.'"
Consbruck, who was reportedly intoxicated, was taken to the hospital for treatment of his minor injuries.
Being from Nebraska, it was the first time he'd encountered a taxi; and like a confused deer in the headlights, he ran towards it and tried to leap over it.
