If you don't like to stand up, be loud, or do anything besides take up space...give your ticket to someone else and stay home. Beat Colorado, hope A&M wins a three way tiebreaker in the south, take the trophy, and get the heck out of the Big 12.

Still in negotiations for the last non-conference game. There will be 12.

It's a football game. People are going to stand and cheer. If you don't want to/can't do the same, you can't expect everyone else to sit down for you. If you want to sit the entire game, watch on TV. Otherwise, be willing to deal with people around you standing and yelling from time to time.

Good portion of Memorial Stadium crowd = blue hairs and social event attendees.

A majority of the teams in the Big Ten use some version of the spread offense. It's not just a 3 yards and a cloud of dust league anymore.

I would disagree completely. There hasn't been a team that has looked absolutely dominant this year. Oregon has looked mediocre on defense. TCU has looked very good, but doesn't have to prove it week by week...they only have to get up for about 2 big games. Same with Boise. Auburn has had some squeakers to middle of the pack teams. I think NU hangs with any of these teams.

Nope.

I don't agree or disagree but I'm curious to hear why. Explain. Yes, explain. I don't see how we were much helped today ... Alabama is out of the picture. LSU still has to play Arkansas and won't make the SEC championship game unless Auburn loses two. Utah is out of the picture. Boise is going to have a hard time not getting jumped by a one loss BCS team. Oregon still has Arizona, Oregon State, and Cal. Auburn has to play Alabama and the SEC game. Still a lot of football left to be played. There is no margin of victory factored into the BCS, so a close win over Iowa State isn't going to hurt NU unless the human pollsters vote them lower because of it.

It was the correct call

ESPN's college football page should have a gamecast that shows the play by play

Strength of schedule helped them...not a strong argument for NU this year.

Would need the help of the almighty upset to see NU crack the top 5 again this year.

No way they would ever operate with less than a full staff of assistants.

A LOT of things would have to go right. Schedule is too weak to have much of a chance unless a lot of other teams fall. The rest of the schedule is very winnable. The team needs to focus on the task of winning the Big 12 and let the rest of the chips fall where they may.
