I wanted to look at what schools we have winning streaks against in basketball AND football, and as you would expect ... the list is not long. While we have a winning streak against 8 of our 13 conference foes in hoops (including impressive 5-game winning streaks vs. the likes of Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, as well as a long 8-game winning streak vs. Northwestern), we only have a winning streak against a few football programs:

W2 vs. Michigan State (mostly because we've barely played...)
W2 vs. Nebraska
W1 vs. Minnesota
W1 vs. Northwestern
W1 vs. Penn State

However, I wanted to look at how many "big two" sports contests we have won in a row vs. a certain school, and here are three of the four:

W5 vs. Minnesota (4 hoops games and last year in football, all in a row)
W5 vs. Northwestern (same)
W4 vs. Penn State (3 hoops games and last year in football, all in a row)

The fourth cracks me up and gives me immense joy, though. :ROFLMAO: Since we beat Nebraska in basketball in February of 2020, we have not lost to them in a major sport! We have won four straight in basketball and two straight in football. Given my distaste for Scott Frost and their absolutely delusional fans, there are two wins I want more than any other this fall - breaking the losing streak vs. Iowa and winning AGAIN in Lincoln!!

In a sane world, we would beat NW 8 or 9 times out of 10 in football (this has never happened btw, which is exhibit A as to how life isn't fair)

I knew we had beaten the Cats a lot back in the 1970's and 1980's so I decided to google. We have numerous periods where we beat them 8/10 and 9/10. Check out these years:

* 1908-1928
* 1974-1985
* 1979-1990

There are numerous 10-year periods across those three windows where we pounded them to the tune of 8/10 or 9/10. I can recall NW having the longest losing streak in the nation while I was in school.

Not much talk about any standout walk on s this year. Any insights on any new players that will get a scholarship.

walk-ons often prove their worth not just on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons at 4:30, but on Saturdays on special teams.

if we have any of these guys, it will become known to the fans soon enough

I assume Reiman and Pihlstrom are both on scholarship permanently now, yeah?

Is Isaac Darkangelo still a walk-on? Michael Marchese?

Think Werner mentioned darkangelo is a walk on. Seems like it will be a formality to be on scholarship. Guessing a timing thing but ??
