Friday weather forecast for Lincoln

A mix of rain and freezing rain early...changing to all rain in the afternoon. High 44F. Winds SE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precip 90%.

I wanted to attend this game this year. Sort of glad now I didn't buy tickets.

My beloved aunt died this morning at age 92. She is 70 miles distant; when we saw her Oct. 5 she was in such good spirit, I didn't think it would be our final visit. I am from Iowa and we store guilt. I told her Oct. 5 what was too painful to tell before; when I was 5 I broke her tv set switch off. I was devastated and told her; she didn't recall that; it felt like forgiveness. About 7-years later I spotted their stolen truck in our town 32 miles away from their home, so everything equals out; maybe not. Perhaps they were hoping for a new truck, but at least I saved the deductible.

I expect true Frosh #7 to get more than a few touches Friday afternoon............

#7 Luke McCaffrey: McCaffrey has played in three games this season, most recently at quarterback and wide receiver in the win over Maryland. McCaffrey helped Nebraska to a win against Northwestern, and so far is 8-for-11 on the season passing for 103 yards and one touchdown. McCaffrey has also run for 162 yards and one touchdown, while also adding a 12-yard catch against Maryland.

Please see opening post. Nepotism infects the Iowa offense. Iowa's defense remains robust.

Nepotism is the symptom, but stubbornness is the disease.

Outside of 2002, there really hasn't been a year under KF's watch where the offense had any real "pop".  Mostly every other season the offense ranged from okay to incompetent.

I like the prediction ELA, it's going to be a fight.  I fully expect the 'skers to pull out all the stops for this one.

Thank you. My aunt was the first extended family member to come here after our only child was born. As I reflect on that fact it tells me something about character. What you said in your post, tells something about character, too. It is about my family, then your family, college football, and human vulnerability to the elements.

What does your daughter study, or does she study? Somehow it is difficult to believe she would rather spend a game with you than with her boyfriend, unless it is due to the boyfriend's football allegiance. Father's have an inflated sense of self-worth when it comes to their relationship with their daughter. I have one.

Maybe someday I will get to Lincoln for a game. Maybe in 2021 when it is only somewhat earlier in the season and the weather is better.

Daughter is studying elementary education.  I suppose my sense of worth with her is a bit inflated.  Yes, she implored me to come to Lincoln for the game, because her boyfriend is a huge Hawk fan and she doesn't want to spend the game with him.  Hawk fans, as you know, can be a bit obnoxious.

I'm going to implore her to sit in the rain with me inside the stadium.  If somehow the Huskers pull out a victory, it will be a memory that we can share.
My brother and I have a similar memory in a come from behind victory over the Sooners in 1991 on a 32-degree, rain- and windswept day.
Please look me up if you make the trip in 2021.

Katie Gudenkauf a Dubuque native, said it’s a strange feeling to be called a hero. She has said that it was “a group of people,” including another nurse, who came together to help Jake Tebbe when his heart stopped while playing soccer.

“It feels odd to be recognized as a hero, because it’s not something I necessarily think of myself as, because there would never be a situation where I would not jump in and help them,” she said. “I think that’s just part of being in the medical profession. I would always jump in and help someone no matter what.” 


Gudenkauf jumped in last March on the Clarke University campus in Dubuque. She was at an indoor soccer tournament in which Tebbe was playing.

Tebbe’s heart stopped beating and he blacked out during the game. Gudenkauf, a family practice nurse now working at Grand Regional Health Center in Lancaster, Wisconsin, stepped in and asked someone to get the automatic external defibrillator that she then used to shock Tebbe’s heart twice.

“It’s crazy how it all worked out and how I will be connected to this individual that I helped forever,” Gudenkauf said.

The father / daughter football bond is sure a special one.  One of my favorite memories is the NU/OU game in 2009.  My dad and I had only gone to a couple of games together before that and it was so much fun watching that defensive battle which brought back a lot of good memories of watching those clashes on Thanksgiving weekend.  The next year Dad was not feeling up to par, so I took grandsons to a couple of games.  In 2011, Dad was very ill and he couldn't go to any games.  He passed away from leukemia the day after Christmas 2011 and I have always been so grateful that we got to see a classic game together and the fact that it was the last game we were together makes those memories even better.  I'd bet your daughter won't give a hoot about the weather; it's the joy of being together that she will cherish, IMO.  Have fun!
