HUSKERS vs PURDUE: Pre-Game Vibes Nebraska Matt Rhule Dylan Raiola

Welcome to game day where I basically copy some tweets and call it the vibe. I apologize to no one. The difference this week is no game day shots from on high in the press boxbecause they’re in West Lafayette, IN, and “See a game at PURDUE,” hasn’t quite made the bucket list.

No offense, West Lafayette. Once I’ve taken in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party and Bedlam, I’ll…not really make room, sorry, but not really.

Now that pointlessly insulting Purdue is out of the way, let’s get to the injury report. It’s official, so who knows who else might be out but it’s under wraps:

• Alvano was probably actually out last week as well, because who’s playing their questionable kicker? Thompson stings, he’d played his way into a start last week. My guess is Corcoran’s done for the year, but it’ll be dragged week-to-week – “significant” knee injuries tend to be just that and hell, yes, I hope I’m wrong. The Mazzccuah think is crickets on the Nebraska’s end, but the rumors aren’t great.

• Never heard of the person who posted the original rumor. And for what it’s worth, he’s still listed on the roster, so this may well be a personal or family issue. If not, the top will probably pop fairly quickly.

• Thanks, fellas – it is appreciated!

• Well, then. The message may seem obvious, but coach wants to make sure it’s remembered.

• And if you haven’t noticed, Coach John already has quite the coaching tree branching out. Assuming Jordan Larson’s amazing playing career is now over, I imagine she won’r wear an assistant coach title for too long before the head offers start pouring in.

• Well, here’s the thing Kirk – the players had virtually no control before, which was unbelievably unconstitutional since they were only getting what every other student on scholly was getting. And currently, the school still pays them $0, so why shouldn’t the students have the freedom to leave whenever they want and make money off their own name? You want control? Actually pay them, then you write safeguards into a contract. Simple. Or just wine about the good old days of super cheap labor – your call.

• Happy birthday, deep threat.

• 100+ yards. The table couldn’t be set better.

• Yikes. Ok, ours isn’t so bad.

• Let’s light this candle. Go Big Red.
