The return of No Hype

#What is “No Hype” ?

No Hype is the theory that hype for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team has a negative impact upon on-the-field performance. Therefore, the only way to avoid the embarrassing blowouts, meltdowns, and collapses synonymous with the Huskers in the past 2 decades is to fully buy in to the No Hype philosophy.

#Can you give an example of when hype hurt the program?

There is objective evidence that hype has dealt crushing and decisive blows to the Huskers over the past 20 years. In one of the first examples of hype screwing over the team Nebraska was catapulted into the 2002 BCS National Championship game vs Miami. The Huskers were outmatched and unprepared to face the daunting Hurricanes, but the hype of Eric Crouch winning the Heisman trophy and the combined energy of Husker Nation willed them into that game, and their doom. Hype is what lost us the 2010 and 2012 Big XII and Big 10 championships. Divine-hype intervention gave Taylor Martinez turf toe, yanked Eric Crouch’s head a 180, and made Adrian Martinez dumb and unable to pass.

#But what about all the good times?

You can win the hype battle while still losing the war. When Alex Henery made his 57 yarder and Suh caught a pick 6 immediately after it may have seemed like two separate moments of Hype, but it was indeed connected. Hype works in malicious ways. Brief moments of victory such as T Magic running all over K State only set us the fans up for even greater disappointment because we fell into the hype trap afterwards.

#What if x or y happens this off-season?

No. If McKenzie Milton transfers here, there is still No Hype. If for some unexplainable reason Trevor Lawrence transfers here, there would still be No Hype. If BTN talking heads say Adrian Martinez is a heisman candidate and Verduzco is a QB Guru, do not believe them. It is Hypeological warfare meant to subvert the team.

#So just don’t have hype for the season, but it’s ok during games, right?

Wrong again. Hype, though typically doing most damage on a season wide scale, can with enough combined energy tip the balance of literally a second of a game. We all remember what happened in the Big XII championship that year. As Ragdoll McCoy heaved the final throw out of bounds, the collective Hype skyrocketed and broke the entire Universe in a paradigm shifting collapse. All laws of physics and reality were twisted and warped until time itself was broken and changed, and one final second was awarded. We the fans are to blame. If you are watching a game and we are ahead, that does not mean we are winning. If it is the end of the 4th with 0:00 on the clock, that does not mean we have won. Only after the coaches shake hands at midfield may you celebrate a *potential* victory.

#So what can we do to return to No Hype and winning football games?

In order to truly return to No Hype, follow these basic steps: If Nebraska wins a game, strictly follow No Hype for the next game, and the game after that and so on and so forth. Remember, until Nebraska wins 6 games, they cannot win 6 games. Until Nebraska wins the Big 10 West division, they cannot win the West. Until Nebraska wins the Big 10 championship, they cannot win the Big 10 championship. Until Nebraska has a good quarterback, they do not have a good quarterback. If we are vigilant we will return to greatness, as long as we hold dear the eternal truth that **There is No Hype.**
