Paint your face. Burn it. Up your muscle. Spans your chest. Flex. Pop up the biceps. Bach. Sun's out, guns out.

Go sprinting through your office. Shake your, your co-worker's desk. Shake it. Just shake it. Don't even say anything to them. Just run up to them and just start shaking the deck. Let them feel. Doc, how do you spell warrior?

W-A-R-Y-E-R. Yeah, I think the big thing, we talk about the, the, the, streak and there are people that talk about the buck i asked i led with this what say you when it comes to the sellout streak and why would it be a thing that becomes a part of the focus of why things aren't going well within that problem i think i've heard that argument before and i think it's more than just the sellout streak it's the fan support you know that's there whether it's 85 000 or 80 000 and you don't quite get the sellout streak you're still going to have that that level of people going to the football game so i kind of think you know and i get it the sellout streak has been

I've had to buy a lot of tickets. There's empty seats there from time to time, all that sort of stuff. So you might not truly believe in it or whatever that might be. But I think truly beyond the sellout streak is more so the support there. And that's what I would think of is, and I hope it doesn't happen this year, but I've seen it before.

I always go back to Bill Callahan in 2007 against Oklahoma State. They're down something like 28, nothing at half, midseason. The season's going downhill. And just about, I don't even know, 70% of the stadium walked out. And it was kind of this, and right that week, Steve Peterson was fired. And because it was kind of the statement of like, this is not Nebraska, up to Nebraska football standard.

So I think it could see something like that. So you can support up until a point and then maybe make a statement. But I just have a hard time seeing. Even if the sellout streak doesn't last, I still think you're going to have 75,000, 80,000 people there. So I think that's the bigger thing than anything. And obviously you're putting more money into the, $600 million more project, the spoils will still be there for Husker football and whether

the sellout streak continues or not. I'm going to say this and get out of here. I'm going to hand it over to Adam Carrecker. But Bach, I'm going to say this. Don't fall for the Okie Doe, people. Don't fall for the Okie Doe. Every time the sellout streak is mentioned, it distracts from the real problem. That's not the problem.

Problem is you're not good of football. You're not good at football. You're not winning at the level that this program needs to and deserves to. And there's a difference between needs to and deserves to. But whatever that standard is, if you're talking about set out streaks and facilities and you're talking about NIL and you're talking about all those things, what you are not talking about is the thing, which is good, good winning, consistent football. Don't fall for the OKie doke.

It's just the OKie doke. They're talking about it to distract you. Focus on winning football game. Get better.
