Normally, the Monday following a Husker loss is a hotbed of rage and hot takes on the Twitter but today the pickings are awfully dang slim.
Have Husker thumbs grown weary and no longer have the power to vent their anger in 140 characters or less or are the majority of fans still wiped out from the Royals winning the World Series?
That was quite the game, huh?

Maybe she wasn’t so much a Husker fan as she was distraught that she couldn’t get an Uber Kitten delivery on National Cat Day. Don’t know anyone who actually got the kitten delivery to work. So much hype. So few kittens.
My feed today is littered with #Huskers and #Packers misery. Fans just full of vitriol… and rightfully so I'd say.

Did anyone else get the final of the Packers game spoiled in extra innings when Joe Buck came back from break and announced the outcome? (Notice how that was a spoiler-free question?)
Good plan. Oh, and does anyone know what movie the GIF is from? It’s driving me bananas.
Being a fan means sticking with a team through the best and the worst. Wave those #Huskers flags proudly! https://t.co/MJBge5SZJ3

You’re dang right. After Saturday’s game, I accepted my fate and wore my Husker shirt proudly like the scarlet letter that it has become. It was hours before I made it back home after the game and not a single person said a word to me about the Huskers. Even back to just last year, a Husker loss would mean a hug and some encouraging words from at least one stranger if I repped the Big Red in public following a loss.
Royals fans in Nebraska are stoked right now. But soon they'll realize it's Saturday and all that remains is #Huskers football. #WorldSeries

Brilliant Twitter handle, Mr. Freedom.
People! Please give me a little time. I've ordered a series of motivational books to give the coaches. #Huskers #Nebraska

I had to do a double take on this one. Very clever swapping the ‘w’ for a ‘u’ and I’m surprised Mr. E or anyone within the Athletic Department didn’t lock down such a close misspelling. If that account gets more than its current three followers, it might get shut down.
Seriously? WTF happened here? Is it time to break out a tinfoil hat if Husker conspiracies are afoot?
And finally, just because it’s Monday.

I hope David thanks the Bankshirts for making his award winning performance possible.
