We want to win a conference championship more than once every twelve years.

And you know this how? You must attend practice. Typical response. Let's break it down, okay? Our current starters DO NOT MAKE PLAYS. Don't agree with that statement? Then make a case against it. The 63 points the other team put up Saturday night makes it pretty clear that they don't. So that leaves us with only two options: 1. Our underclassmen are "worse" than our starters, which confirms that the state of our recruiting that got us to where we are now was atrocious. 2. Our underclassmen actually are capable of "making plays" to a higher capacity than our starters. In which case, Bo is screwing us by not playing them. Which is it?

I believe it'll take a congenital heart defect felling Kain Coulter before the game begins. I hope this doesn't happen, mind you. That would be terrible. For Kain.

You scare me, dude. I'm not sure if your avatar/signature images are just a hilarious drunken google image search you hastily conjured up, or if that really is in fact your girlfriend that you took photos of and posted to all of the internet. Either way man, that sh!t's ridiculous.

Fixed it for you.

But seriously though...things aren't that bad. It's really all about next season and our slack conference schedule. And ponies. It's also about ponies.

sigh...

We stopped being Nebraska the second Dr. Tom retired. Every single poster on this board now knows this. It is completely, absolutely, 100% over. We had our fun in the nineties. We're now worse than irrelevant; we're a laughing stock. The fact that the line on Saturday's game was 3.5 and we lost by 75 points...just terrible. I'd like to send out a hearty F*CK YOU to those solely responsible for bringing on our group of junior/senior defensive starters. Beyond pathetic.

We should bench Whaley and play Cooper. But we won't. So we lose. Thanks, Bo.

lol Urban, you mad bro?

Well played.

So you were frozen for the last 9 seasons. I see. I would call you out for a troll if it weren't for your post count. Still could be trolling.

kid nickels... I thought this was a good opportunity for me to tell you how confused I am by your signature image. Every time I see those little arms reaching up for the "nickels," I feel like there's some kind of nipple tweak going on. looksweirdman. Those two soccer moms aren't helping either...

Obviously...

My guess on this one is one of two things: 1. The dudes were so trashed out of their gourds, they mistook "two beautiful college girls" for two stadium crew staff members who merely directed them to the nearest exit or 2. They really were two beautiful college girls who trolled the sh!t out of them by giving them directions to "The Q."

The same thing has been running through my mind as well. I predict that if we play field position against Ohio State in the first half, we'll win. This is a hugely understated aspect of our game. Beck has got to find a way to at least get a couple first downs on our first offensive drive of this game. Then a punt by Maher pinning them inside their 20. That would be so much different than 3 & out and giving them a short field and demoralizing the blackshirts.

It's Cassidy.

Agreed. I specifically being at a game where he sent a relatively short-medium range pass five yards above his receiver's head. Seriously; five yards too high. And talk about "skipping rocks" out there. He would bounce passes a good 3 - 4 yards in front of his receiver. But his legs were every bit as good as Crouch/Frazier, he had great run vision.

In a hypothetical where we turn the ball over zero times...there's really no reason that we can't score 40 against every team remaining on our schedule. What I want to at least see in this game in the first quarter is to play field position against our opponent for once. Whether we take the ball first or not, on our first offensive drive we HAVE to at least get a couple first downs and then have a monster punt by Maher inside their own 20. I can see Taylor carrying the entire team on Saturday night. But as NUance said...my heart says we win, but my brain says otherwise.

As I wasn't at the game, I went and picked up some beer. It was all the better when that last second ticked off the clock lol.

I'm not nitpicking here, but the idea is that with a game-ready Ameer on hand, it allows us to keep both of them fresh. Being on the field at the same time defeats that. I agree that we could do great things with them both in on the same play, but I think Beck sees the advantage of keeping both of them fresh.

+1 to this. I held back from bad mouthing them in the lead up to the game. But now that it's over, I'll admit it...I'm actually glad they lost the way they did. Squandering a 21 point spot on the road. I mean, that's just embarrassing. Act like you been there. Wait...you can't, because you haven't. And that's no disrespect to our resident Bucky or the other seven Wisconsin fans that have an ounce of class, seriously. Maybe they'll take back some class from Lincoln and apply it.

Welcome, BME. Good luck on Saturday to your team. Your quote above prompted me to mention that I completely relate. Your Wisconsin was my Kansas State for at least a decade. While most fans probably would have named Texas as their "most hated," for me it was always the purple pussies.

Completely agree with this. I'm glad that Bo takes the tradition seriously and puts his own emotion, blood, sweat, etc. into handing them out. That's the most important part - that he cares about how it's done. It's just never made sense to me. Didn't they earn it when they got the start each week?
