When's the last time Nebraska best a top 10 team? Where's the last time when unranked?

I talked with Steve Taylor at our Farm Bureau Tailgate before the Spring Game. I'm 5'8" and he was at least 2" taller than me.

When I saw Texas go up 7-0 I decided to go out and mow. Just got done and saw the score. I was flooded with emotion like if Nebraska was up big against a top B1G team. I started pondering why, after all these years I still despise UT. I know t there's all the voting Nebraska lost 1-11 when the Big 12 was formed. The 1 seconds back on the clock. The constantly over rated, constantly losing, and with all the great recruits in their backyard. Why, after all these years, is my second favorite team each week whoever is playing Texas? I know I'm not alone in this feeling, but is it still warranted after all these years? My feelings towards Texas and my rationale for dislike may not be matching up anymore. Anyone want to remind me why I sell feel this way towards UT?

Thinking of getting rid of cable and just using Hulu and Netflix, but we've kept cable specifically for Husker Football. I've tried the likes of justin.tv, but it's not a reliable feed and you know we can't run the risk of missing any plays. My question for all of you crazy Husker fans like us... Is there a service or site you go with, outside of cable tv, that is reliable where you don't have to worry about missing a game? (Please move if there is an appropriate place for this feed) Thank you all in advance! GBR!

Did any of you see Darlington's post spring game presser? He got me excited with his excitement. He loves the game and everything about the university. I know he could light a fire under his teammates in the huddle. Here it is (not premium info) http://nebraska.scout.com/story/1536794-nebraska-spring-post-zack-darlington This is added to his performance in the spring game. He's definitely a natural leader. I know the backup quarterback is generally a fan favorite lol but I'm on that wagon! GBR!!!

Probably quite a few along with lurker members who have been motivated to post recently who were content just reading posts in the past.

I thought this was an interesting way of doing it, so I had my wife make the "key" My top 25 based on current wins and losses. Based on the current CFPC rankings. Example: Miss St is team y and Florida St is team S. 1. Miss St 2. Florida St 3. Auburn 4. Michigan St 5. Kansas St 6. Oregon 7. TCU 8. Clemson 8. Notre Dame 10. Alabama 11. Nebraska 12. Baylor 13. Arizona St 14. LSU 15. Ole Miss 16. Oklahoma 17. UCLA 18. West Virginia 19. Arizona 20. Duke 20. Georgia 20. Ohio St 23. Utah 24. East Carolina 25. Louisville Note: bottom of top 25 will change as I only ranked the 25 teams in the current top 25.

This!

Do the computers do a preseason poll?

Very good points. When you're already projected that high it's a risk to stay. Would ameer have stayed if he were projected top 5 last year? I know his degree is important to him and his family, but his projections were not nearly as good last year as Gregory's this year. Point being Gregory has pretty much hit the draft stock peak, so another year is more risk (injury) than reward (money).

What are the chances Gregory stays in Lincoln next year? I've seen him projected as high as the 2nd pick in the draft. Will injuries play a part in his decision as well? I don't think he'll decide to return for his senior season based on his current draft projections and injuries may only make him leave as well realizing another year may hurt his draft stock with risk of further injuries before getting to the next level. Any chance he stays though?

Should arguably nebraskas most talented player ever have been able to play in a national championship? LP. Just an example. But to answer your question... Yes it apparently is. I.e. War. Which is a perfect example as people are killing to win said war. Just sayin
