Like Bill Murray’s weatherman character in the 1993 movie “Groundhog Day”, Husker fans have woken up to the realization that, once again, Iowa fans are chirping “Got you, babe” at us. Again.
For the sixth time in a row.
And frankly, I’m sensing a feeling of fatalism on the entire situation. Granted, while Iowa’s winning streak is now at six games, the last three games have only been decided by 12 points. Certainly I felt it after the game. We’re not in the business of moral victories; close, but no cigar, isn’t good enough.
But when it comes to the report card, we have to acknowledge that unlike the 2016 and 2017 games, not everything was awful.
