Pour me some

Writer said "The Huskers could be favored in their first seven games" ......

.... Oh I hope so.  Actually could be 10-2 !!  Only loss, tOSU and USC, all away.

UCLA, Badgers & Birds, winnable.

However keep in mind flashback thing  ..... recent 7 wins and 0 losses, 2016 Mike Riley

Absolutely hate it with a passion. Would be a terrible change.

Bigger clock .

Seriously, I hate NFL PI penalty.  Though I like extra point .....15 yards kicker instead of 3 yards.  More challenging.  How about XFL extra point ??

The lower tier bowls being not cared about is nothing new, and doesn't change here. Nice for the school's fans but that's it. The major bowls were always the goal.

Used to be less than 10 bowls.  Now 40+ bowls.  And lots of empty seats.

Anyway probably next year, new Toilet Bowl sponsored by Scrubbing Bubbles

How long before BIG goes away from the CCG?  

 

Also, do we have tie breakers for top two in conference now without divisions?  What happens when there are 4 10-2 teams in the BIG all with 2 conference loses?

Now that most of the kids on those teams will be receiving pay, I don't mind the 17 games.  Won't be easy but at least they get something out of it financially.  

Huskers, I hope 13 games.  Worst case, 12 (no bowl)

Young adults instead of kids 

Young Adulthood, ages 18-24, is a developmental stage of late adolescence when young people are transitioning out of kids/child/adolescent focused systems and into adult focused systems

Not really crazy about the first-round, which is why I'm an 8-team playoff guy.

 

That SEC regional tho...

 

 

#13 and #14 pissed 

And all the way, 17 total games .  For example, Ohio State or Penn St or Ducks .... 12 regular schedule games + 1 CCG + 4 playoff wins = 17

In five days the football season will be over, launching the longest, darkest days of the year.

 

It's up to this thread to get us out of bed in the morning. 

T-minus 200 days to go ...... 

My wild guess, Friday night August 30 instead of Saturday Aug. 31.  Just like Minny schedule, Tar Heels at Rodents, Thursday night Aug 29th

Let's Get Ready To Rumble !!

Now 205 days .... "205 bottles of beer on the wall, 205 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 204 bottles of beer on the wall"  

3 non-conference teams and 9 B1G conference teams = 12 games.  Plus CCG .... top 2 standings.

All filled up except Michigan State ..... searching for one non-conference team.

B1G Grid.

All filled up except Michigan State ..... searching for one non-conference team.

11am?  Good lord, you have complete and total control over the date and time you you make it 11am?

 

Make it 1pm, help out the fans, the tailgaters, the bars the restaurants.  

Maybe avoid 1pm because potential late afternoon severe weather watch ?

2012 spring game was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Not a spring game but September 1st 2018 opening season.  Cancelled.  (Frost omen)

SOA jumped the shark for me during the Ireland season. Just lost interest in it. I think I muscled through at least one more season, but don't think I finished and have no desire to start Mayans.

Yeah, the first three or four seasons was enjoyed it but remaining seasons, mostly MEH.  Except the last SOA episode, damn good.  My daughter cried, tear jerking thing.

Leading actor as Jax character, from semi-legal motorcycle gang to extreme outlaw .... murders, drug & arms trafficking, laundering, joined Ireland/Russia illegal cartel, etc

Remake movies, 2023 Society of the Snow and 1993 Alive.  True story.  Almost  exactly the same plot, step-by-step.  Thank god NO Hollywoodized versions.  I enjoyed both movies.

BTW the worst remake IMO, 195? The Day the Earth Stood Still (fairly good) vs. 2008 The Day the Earth Stood Still (terrible)

THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX remake?  1965 version was much better than 2004

...... Scott just had to be better than Mike Riley ......

Riley, two out of three made bowls (1W-1L bowls)

Frost, zero out of five bowls. 

Overall records, Nice Guy Finish Last ..... 19W-19L.  Frosty, 16W-31L.

23 years (and counting) since another coach's best season is better than Pelini's worst season.

Accepting the 2009 Holiday Bowl trophy, Bo said: "Nebraska's back and we're here to stay." "We could beat anyone in the country right now."  BOX SCORE: Huskers 33 Arizona 0

I admit the first two HC seasons, Callahan fan, Riley fan and Frost fan.

MR1 ...... I remember lots of Huskerboard members said "Great Hire" on December 4 2014.  National sportswriters mostly agreed too.

CCG/BOWLS/COACHES drought starting at 2017.

Can't. Day's contract ..... Black Beard For Men

(ESPN source) .... "With Caleb Williams watching from the sideline, sophomore Miller Moss threw a Holiday Bowl-record six touchdown passes in his first college start"

Almost seven TD's ..... Moss was intercepted at the goal line.

2024 meeting, November 16, Huskers at USC.  Miller Time !!
