It's been a while since I've seen Reservoir Dogs...was that the insecure character who constantly felt the need to seek praise from the other characters because of a prediction he once made?

Sincerely, I general like your views and opinions. But I must say you are way off with your take. Indiana was 3-1 going into the game. Just 2 seasons ago they finished ranked #12 in the AP poll. They beat Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, Mich State, and loss to Ohio State by 7. And eventually lost to Ole Miss by 6 points in the Outback bowl. The year before they won 8 games. To keep saying they are a bad team (as you have been saying) is to disrespect them, and to brush off the Huskers win as if NU was supposed to just show up and win. In the last 5 years, our Big Ten conference record is 13-31, which means we have lost 70% of conference games. The other point is, there is no room to say "Even if we win a few more games over some bad teams".... I mean, who has the right to say that??? Our Huskers have never won more than 3 games in 5 YEARS. I hope you will eventually recognize that this was a good win, and maybe celebrate that the Huskers beat a good opponent and got it done (Hello Win Column!). Day by Day is the Husker motto, so let's embrace and not disgrace our opponent or our margin of victory.

I loved these comments from Joseph. Leaders should never play favorites.

Knock yourself out looking those up. I’m not your Google monkey. Going on and on about Indiana being a good football team is an odd hill to die on

Wisconsin hubris in 2022 = Huskers in 2003

Chadwell has basically never coached outside of the state of South Carolina (2 years at East Tennessee, 19 years at schools in South Carolina). He would be completely lost coaching in the B1G. Ga Tech is a great fit for him.

Well worth the 16 minutes to watch Mickey. I haven't bothered to watch the press conferences in years but he has changed that. Responds to the questions with short, succinct, honest answers and doesn't pull any punches. He tells like it is. Certainly easy to see why he is such a great recruiter. If I were the parent of a kid considering NU and Mickey was in the living room I'd have no reservations at all about sending the kid off for 4-5 under his guidance.

No one has ever high-fived this douche

Sorry….I forgot about Deion Sanders.

Still. For our team where it is at. Winning this game is the ONLY way to build any belief that we aren't a throw away team. There is more talent and skill on our team than a 1-11 team, but mentally we could certainly be that team. So.. Now we have 2 wins, which proves we aren't that team. They can only do what they can do, one game at a time. Win a game, build on it, try again with a bit more belief, cohesion and tenacity the next week. We lose to Indiana? Wow, now that is a team that is truly DOA. At least we aren't that. I'll be happy with it for 4 more days.

Here is the explanation from Rick Scott. https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2022/9/sen-rick-scott-sets-record-straight-on-misleading-liberal-attacks

Herschel Walker upping his game to appeal to Republican voters by adding disingenuous hypocrite to his resume. This will boost him at least 5 points among Republican voters.

He voted against the CR - which contained $18 Billion of FEMA funding - because he thinks government in general is a waste. It's his own moronic fault. It would've taken longer on a legislative calendar to vote for it as a stand alone bill, and the politicians know it. However, the voters in Florida think Gubmint is bad, so their politicians vote against funding it. I say my tax money shouldn't bail out their poor choices, let the citizens of Florida pick themselves up by their bootstraps.

Saying Illinois is bad doesn't take away from the win. Nebraska has struggled vs bad teams for many years. Its good that we did what we are supposed to do. Beating bad teams is step 1 in this whole "get back to being good" process With that said, Indiana is bad. ESPN FPI #79 SP+ #83

I'd say it's even worse look for WI, Chryst doesn't have the national perception of being an a-hole and having cameras trained on him for outbursts like Bo did, there was some justification for firing Bo for his antics (not justifying it, just saying people were in favor of his firing because he was such an a-hole). By all accounts Chryst is a good guy, winning at 67% clip. IMO, this is a bad look for WI.

That towel placement makes it look like he has some serious junk in the trunk.

These numbskulls keep falling for the furries in high school story.

Nah. This is a hang another banner and mint up some division 6th place rings type of year for them.

I've always wondered if the turnovers and questionable decision making were a byproduct of him trying to do too much. We were constantly right on the verge of winning so he felt like he had to make a play to win the game. Because QBs tend to get too much credit when things go well and too much blame when they don't.

I just listened to the end of the press conference. MJ said "one thing the kids can do is come talk to me." He also said he told Ty Robinson to go back to the old ways. I believe this is a telling about the former regime under Frost and Chin.

Probably true.

I learned that we beat a very bad Indiana team, and the rest of the schedule is full of more very bad teams. Even if NU wins a few of those games doesn’t make NU a good team. It makes them the same as a bunch of other bad football programs. Would Mickey leading NU to a few more wins over some very bad Big Ten West teams give me enough confidence that he would build a consistent, top 1/3 of the conference team in the conference? I really don’t know right now.

these guys are probably feeling lucky to get out of there without being skinned

You don’t bring in “good,” if you are Mickey and you get a real shot. You bring in the best your money can buy you. And you do that in both sides of the ball. Honestly, I don’t even think Whipple is good enough. Mickey will lose a bit as a HC in “clout.” He’s a huge wildcard for kids, he’s not super polished and he will be learning everything on the job, including the entire conference. The only way he can shore that up is with an all star coaching staff. He’s gonna have to shoot for the stars with his staff.

I was thinking the same thing. Grant and Martinez would have really been something. Even with the current state of the Online. But I don't know if Adrian would have survived this season here. Casey has already taken some hella hard shots, and Adrian already had 4 years of that on his body.

I'm glad to see 9AM finally enjoying some success after what had to be four frustrating as hell years at NU under Frost. Beyond his numbers, 2AM was always a class act when he was here. Even with the all that went wrong and all grief he took it would have been easy to just shut it down or lash out at the fans / media instead of remaining level headed as he did.

Chances to win the West according to ESPN FPI Minnesota 41% Purdue 32% Illinois 15% Iowa 7% Wisconsin 4% Nebraska 1% Northwestern 0% https://www.espn.com/college-football/powerIndex/_/group/5

Paul Chryst is available. He has Big Ten experience. From the Mike Riley coaching tree though.

Wisky just couldn't let us be 1st in anything!!

paul chryst went 67-26. bo pelini went 67-27. wisconsin better be careful what they wish for

Sorta like when NU fans fired Mike Reilly so we didn’t lose out on Frost going to another school. That worked out well for us.

Live look at Lincoln Riley:

I think this bag of mixed donuts will run through a brick wall for Coach Joseph

A nice stat that's pretty telling. Regardless if our foe was Indiana. Never want to say what could've been had changes been made earlier......

That was a rule being applied correctly. If the offense subs in someone late, the defense gets a chance to sub too. Indiana ran someone one late and we sent in a couple of dlinemen. You see this everytime something like this happens.
