My friends, Nebraska fans are triggered out of their minds right now, and I can’t help but laugh.

Earlier today, I simply pointed out some facts. Facts are things that aren’t up for debate. They’re facts. For example, when I say I’m having a burger for dinner, that’s a fact. It’s not up for debate. If I say America is the best country on the planet and all other countries suck, that’d also be a fact.

An opinion would be when somebody says I should stop drinking beer. That’s their opinion, it’s the wrong one but it’s still an opinion. Do we all understand the differences? Because the sweet lovable people in Nebraska apparently don’t.

Earlier today, I took the opportunity to remind everybody the idea that Nebraska is the team to beat in the Big Ten West is laughable. Again, this is a fact. The Big Ten West is Wisconsin territory. It’s not territory for Scott Frost’s players. This isn’t up for debate, and I politely pointed out the comparison between the Cornhuskers and Badgers since they left the Big 12 isn’t even close. (RELATED: Will Jack Coan Or Graham Mertz Start At Quarterback For The Wisconsin Badgers?)

The reactions were hardly rational at all. Instead of engaging in a fun debate and sticking to the facts, Nebraska melted down like a snowball on a Miami beach.

Finally, not sure if this is an insult or compliment. Is this dude trying to say I’m good looking? Hard to tell, but I’ll take it.

Listen up all you clowns. Today was your Super Bowl. For once in the past eight years, somebody gave your program some attention.

I almost regret doing it. I thought Nebraska was supposed to be a program full of prestige, honor and class. That’s what winners are all about. That’s what being a Wisconsin man is all about.

Apparently, I great overestimated you guys.

While you guys are busy flipping out on me, my fellow Wisconsin people are preparing for another monster season, which is something Nebraska hasn’t done since joining the B1G.

If they ever figure it out, I’m sure they’ll let me know. They have so much potential and thick skin down in Lincoln!

Let’s just see what happens when Nebraska and Wisconsin play November 16. I expect to hear nothing but crickets online when that glorious day rolls around.

Until then, Nebraska fans can think about their zero conference titles in the Big Ten and zero major bowl conferences in the past eight years.

There’s more than enough there to keep their minds running in circles for the next few months.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
