And it comes full circle like most of us assumed it would. On 10/30, NU was mocked with this statement by most in the media. @finebaum took "could provide another data point for possible CFP consideration" out of context to mock Nebraska's chances. 1/4 https://twitter.com/huskers/status/1321852474739761157
@DanWolken referred to Ohio State and Nebraska as being “melodramatic” when Ryan Day defended NU’s desire to play. @ByPatForde wrote a few articles calling Nebraska tone-deaf and taking personal shots at the fans. Too many @ESPN commentators to note individually piled on. 2/4
Countless others from @jppalmCBS to most everyone at The Athletic (I love you @mitchsherman) took their shots as well. People inside the B1G were feeding intel to reporters like @NicoleAuerbach, mocking Nebraska and their relationship with conference leadership. 3/4
How fitting could the end of 2020 be if the very thing that got Nebraska dragged through the mud - their desire to play football - in fact, helps save OSU’s playoff hopes and in turn strengthens the very conference @DesmondHoward wanted them removed from. Only in 2020! 4/4
