Seriously, I'm guessing you are actually Newcombe (or at least a relative of Bobby).

Better than a Heisman trophy winner? Is there any chance that you are Newcombe himself?

You're not paying attention.

To me, it all goes back to changing the bodies. It's going to take more than one year to get back to where we used to be. With that tough schedule, if we have a winning record and go to a bowl game, I'd be happy enough for next year.

That was so hard to watch. F… Robbie Hummel. I don't know which Illinois player he's banging, but he was a homer bitch for them. I couldn't stand listening to him.

I think that might have been true earlier when he was thinking about quitting, but the boys are playing great together now, and Jordy is contributing. Get on board!

I hope you're wrong. 22-9, 13-5 has to be enough.

I'm missing something. You say we're not a stellar conference, but our top 3 will get high seeds. That in itself should get the Big Ten five teams. Michigan won tonight. If we go 3-1 down the stretch, I say we're in. They can't put Michigan in and not us when we beat them by 20, can they?

But, I hope he finds a different defensive coordinator.

I agree with your first point, but if I had to play the game, I'd say Les Miles, since his kid is already on the team.

I miss the Big 12. (Truth be told, I miss the Big 8.) We left that conference because Texas was taking over, but we have NO influence in this conference. The special time for the Thanksgiving Weekend has been a cherished tradition in my family for years, but now it's gone.

Agreed. No way that type of season puts Riley on a "scorching" hot seat. After the type of prognostication going on nationally about the Huskers, I think most fans would happy with the outcome described by Landlord. At what year do we need to win the west then? Just keep going 10-3 and losing to our biggest west competition and Riley continues to be our coach? There is such an easy answer to this question. "At what year" is the year that all of the players are players that he recruited. When the quarterbacks (and of course other players) he recruited have played their entire careers here, if we haven't won at least the Big Ten West, he will be on the hot seat.

Neither. 10-3 with losses to OSU, Wisconsin and Iowa and Riley's seat will be scorching. 0-6 against Wiscy and Iowa is not okay. There is such a weird disconnect between the national media and some Husker fans. They say we're going to go 6-6, and you'd be unhappy with 10-3? Who is correct?

I like two things here. First, don't forget about how Bo poisoned the well for our players before he left. Riley walked into a toxic situation here. He will need time to flush out all of the Bo-loving, Huskerfan-haters. That us-against-the-world mentality was exactly the opposite of what a coach should try to do at Nebraska, where we love our team with all of our hearts. Secondly, we beat Dabo in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 1, 2009. Bo declared that we were back! I bet Clemson is glad that they gave Dabo time to develop the program. They just beat Alabama for the natty, and they were worse than us 8 years ago!!!!!!

What do you mean by that?
