  1. It's been my experience that my best bets were the ones I felt least comfortable. I would be all over the Huskers on this game. Your welcome in advance.
  2. Yea,, why should anyone express displeasure in a below average product? Just sit there and take it.But it's nice to know that the opinions of the fans ( many of whom are alumni) aren't wanted. Instead, maybe we should just end the sellout streak. Why should anyone give a coach more than 9 games before deciding whether to fire him, the athletic director, and the chancellor????!!!oneone I could have swore that Riley had years of experience. At least that's what we were led to believe. He does and it was on full display last Saturday nite 4 and 6....... Hip, hip, hooray. Now maybe he can figure out how to not get blown out by the worst team in the league. I know how. By being the worst team in the league.
  3. Yeah. It's scary when you go ahead with :17 left in the game, and worry that it's STILL to much time for the opposing quarterback. Immediately after we took the lead, I texted my son "He'll find a way to lose this one, too." Then the squib. What this coach is thinking is anybodies guess. Kick the ball deep! We're lucky to come away with the "W".
  4. "...not having a good year." How about a good decade?
  5. You didn't see the $3 gift certificate from TGIFs inside the bowl?
  6. I asked this one day and I opened myself up to a sh#tstorm of rhetoric, blind perception, and population bullsh#t. And that's pretty much all it was. It was laughable to the point that I was speechless and walked away. Nothing anyone said answered my question. It doesn't matter what they do have, it matters what people believe they have. Even if it's bullsh#t, if people believe it, that's a problem for us, and it's obvious that people believe it, because a lot more people live there, and they always out-recruit us. Regardless, they still have more to offer even just as a state without going into anything related to the football program. They have a lot more people. People like that. They also have more dense population. More people + same amount of space = more people nearby = more cute girls/more friends/more jobs/etc. They have 21 cities with 70,000+ people compared to our 2. They have professional sports teams. They draw more things like bands, plays, musicals and other touring events and also more frequently. They've got a better university and university system and college selection as a whole. They have a lite version of an ocean. They have less conservative government and more diverse population. They have casinos. They have huge music festivals. They have a legitimate amusement park. And they're close to other states that have more of the same. And great Salmon fishing in that pond westward.
  7. this is a good post. But me personally I still dont see where it answers my question of what does Michigan have to offer that we dont in a big picture. I'm not tryin to find a way to say Nebraska has something to offer that Michigan doesnt. I think the two are pretty damn equal. But it just feels like there's this perception natianally that compariing Nebraska to Michigan is like comparing Nebraska to say Florida or USC in the recruiting front right now. And to me when you look at some recruiting disadvantage perceptions such as weather, midwest, Big10, and so on, Michigan isnt free from those kinda things either. So it's not really about being better but being equal. And I still dont see where an opportunity at Michigan blows out of the water an opportunity at Nebraska. What is the one thing that nearly every single D1 recruit with a star rating of three or higher wants to achieve? They want to play in the NFL, correct? Which university you mention has a coach who just came from the NFL? Which school has a coach that coached his team to the Super Bowl? Which school has a coach that put Stanford back on the football map? If Pete Carroll quit the Seahawks today and was named the HC at Wyoming, I'd argue he'd have no problem luring top talent to Laramie. I'm not sure how much attention potential recruits pay attention to money and such, but Michigan just made Harbaugh the highest paid college coach. I'd see this as a great commitment to the sport I'm being recruited to play. I'm excited about our situation here at Nebraska and Riley as our coach. However, it's pretty easy to see why Michigan will enjoy an easier time recruiting. Damn, I knew we should have kept Calahan.
  8. In all fairness, Sandusky hadn't been their DC in quite a while. No, but he still had keys to the locker room and access to everything. Should have gotten the death penalty which they lied about. Saw an interview on ESPN, and they said the NCAA didn't consider it, but the guy they interviewed was adamant about that not being true.
  9. Four turnovers doesn't equate to a brilliantly played and executed game.
  10. There are a lot of really good high school players who go unnoticed.
  11. You can't just look at the home state's population and say that's that. The surrounding population near Michigan is way bigger. They get a lot of recruits from Ohio.Nebraska borders Iowa, North Dakota, Kansas. You forget Missouri though I didn't forget it. I didn't mention it but I've actually gone and added up the populations from surroundig states for different teams before and Nebraska's is way smaller. I think I did it for Michigan. (I seem to recall they have 8 million people but I don't want to look it up). And a great Pawn shop.
  12. You can't just look at the home state's population and say that's that. The surrounding population near Michigan is way bigger. They get a lot of recruits from Ohio.Nebraska borders Iowa, North Dakota, Kansas. You forget Missouri though ...and South Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado.
  13. You can't just look at the home state's population and say that's that. The surrounding population near Michigan is way bigger. They get a lot of recruits from Ohio. Nebraska borders Iowa, North Dakota, Kansas. But what's the draw? Climates similar. Current prestige of the program is, well, equal I guess. Probably just my bias. But I guess I just dont see what Michigan has to sell. Why cant we compete with those guys in recruiting? Everyone just seems to write us off. The projection is based mostly on Harbaugh.
  14. Had Ohio St. only beaten Wisconsin by 7 they never would have had a chance to play for the NC. They wouldn't have leaped TCU.
  15. I don't think Bo has much contact with Carl anymore. Mary Pat (Bo's wife) was pretty freaking pissed when Carl cheated on his wife, as the two women had become close friends. Mary Pat was one of the big reasons (along with TO) that Bo pushed Carl to get another gig. Oh what a tangled web we weave...
