MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Was the Huskers' 54-21 loss to Minnesota Saturday night a low point in not just this season, but this decade for the Huskers? Possibly. But Twitter was still decent.
Yep. Pretty much. On the very first play.
And Minnesota returns the opening kickoff for a touchdown.#Huskers pic.twitter.com/3F6hzRN9U0

This was not related to the Huskers’ current game, but it’s the anniversary of the failed Civil ConFLiCT rivalry game between UCONN and Central Florida. Bob Diaco is having a rough day.

On the Huskers’ first touchdown, guard Boe Wilson did a cool thing. Yes, that’s him at H-back. No, that’s not his usual number.
When they switch the backup guard’s number and line him up at H-Back. Good grief Boe. pic.twitter.com/3ImRqzjGQI

I don’t care what Greg says, this is vintage Kraynak.
Hawk tackling? More like HUMMINGBIRD TACKLKNG. Haha. Cuz hummingbirds are smaller than hawks.
Shut up.

It’s a “strain but don’t break… then break” defense, Jay.
The amount of bad fundamental/systematic defensive football going on in the 10th game of the season is absolutely mind blowing #strain

The former Nebraska champion had some thoughts on the Huskers’ defensive coordinator as the Gophers were running up 311 yards in the first half.
Are you serious right now. When is this high price dc gonna start coaching

When you can seamlessly integrate the “hold my beer” reference into a Minnesota football game, where they serve beer, you have done an “A+” tweet in my book.
AD Bill Moos: "I don't fire coaches in the middle of the season."
HC Mike Riley: "Hold my headset."#GBR #Huskers

“Describe this game in three words, please,” is what I assume Nicole was asked here.
my god, Nebraska.

Faux’s first tweet of the game was a solid one.
Points aren’t really a good indicator of which team is better

Thought about just making this all 10 of the tweets, instead, it’ll be the kicker.
Forget the struggle bus, the #Huskers defense is fully on the Strain Train. pic.twitter.com/P4vfO4gKpA

Derek is a newbie on the Hail Varsity staff covering Husker athletics. In college, he was best known as ‘that guy from Twitter.’ He has covered a Sugar Bowl, a tennis national championship and almost everything in between (except an NCAA men’s basketball tournament game… *tears*). In his spare time, he can be found arguing with literally anyone about sports.
