  1. If you have to ask yourself how we beat Mich. State but lost to Purdue. You should pry find another sport to be interested in.

  2. Vote ban for FTW now in progress. Yea and Nay's tallied here.

      I'll basically vote yea for anyone right now, so, yea.

      Let's include MattyIce in that vote. Although I'm not sure how he hasn't been suspended yet given he called me an a-hole.

  3. Just watched what all the fuss was about with the Colts formation. Easy to say "stupid", easier for me to raise an eyebrow Pats don't even call a timeout and barely appear to hesitate. #SwingingGateGate

      I'm insinuating Patriots had scouts on Colts practice.

  4. The secondary went from not in vicinity, to close enough to make a play, to making plays. All in the last 3 games. Very proud. Offense finally hit some big plays. Sustained drives. Great job men.

      Be better at the end of the season than we were at the start. Compete in every match we play this year. They have met my expectations thus far.

  5. Have we EVER needed a W this badly?

      I actually think I have noticed a shift. People respect Riley so much that they seem to be seeing "the light" and realize how close they really are.

      Last Saturday?

  6. A game like yesterday is where the new analytics guy will have work to do. The odds of winning the division were going to greatly decrease with a loss from here on out. I would have like to seen a more aggressive nature on 4th and short with the wind at out back past the 50 early on in the game. Perhaps a trick play or two for that monster first down we needed. GBR regardless

      At this point the data shows the defense cannot hold in the last minute of the game. Besides uncreative playcallig and lack of effort there at the end by the offense. I think we could have justified a 4 down situation. The analytics guys are really going to change the game.

      It would take a lot of effort for Iowa not to win the division.

      We need an analytics guy to tell us we can't hold a lead in the last minute?

  7. The Purple Wizards players have great football IQ. Anyone else watching this?

      A couple plays. The kstate center snapped the ball past their QB because he saw a TCU DE jump offsides. Although they fumbled it obviously they gained the penalty yards. Later in the game the QB pump faked then kept the ball at his hip and the LB literally stopped a slobber knocker hit because he thought he threw it.

      It can at least be the "Exorcising Demons" game with a W!

  9. Big Ten officiating really needs to be called into question at this point.

      Count 'Bility

      It always has been. Its documented on this very board. We were warned by numerous opposing fans about football and basketball officiating when we joined.

  10. AFhusker has some interesting stats I've never heard. 34/80 scholli guys no longer with the team from Bos era?(only 4 due to intelligibility) That's like we are missing 2 years of recruits? Regardless. GBR today! Let's make it a night they remember in Lincoln.

  11. You might recognize this song as performed by Jefferson Airplane in a little "Rockumentary" called Gimmie Shelter about the Rolling Stones and their nightmare at Altimont. That night the Oakland Chapter of the Hell's Angels had their way. Tonight...It's my turn.

  12. Everyone read the Keyshawn Johnson Omaha WH article. Ya'll need to chill and help us sunshine pumpers.

      As time goes on perhaps when he has installed his system 4-5 years, I will expect the above, and that we start to win divisional titles, and of course within 10 play for a national title. At this point Riley will be over 70 and we go Frost or Langsford.

      Compete and improve. That's it. Be a better team than you were when you started. Boy, these injuries are making it tough, but all this experience for these young guys will pay off too. First year is a tough year for people who set themselves up for a let down.

      I like one of Sam's recent tweets regarding expectations. Something like, "When things set up for it, finish big". Id est, don't fizzle out and lose 19-7 to Washington in the Holiday Bowl because "it's so boring to play the same team twice."

  13. If the wind isn't blowing 40 mph I like our chances this week. Crush the WISC run game and make Stave beat us with his arm.

      Touche. We have to eventually win one of these "last play" games...... Right?

      Just told my Badger co-worker "If you guys are on your own 16 yard line, no time outs left, down by 8 and less than a minute left - you got it won."

  14. Vote ban on Moneyballis now active. Nays and Ayes tallied here.

  15. Someone turn on the Sock Puppet signal... We need you now.

  16. I'm up bright and early ready to sunshine pump. Go Big Red. #TeamMike. WISC will not beat us in Lincoln.

      Ha ha! Lux, you are a glass-half-full guy even when the glass seems to be broken. Nice!

  17. Defense played great. Offense on the road with bad weather and a very questionable officiating crew, meh. If the coaches can get this team to play a full 4 quarters to their potential we will have a great ball club. Let us give them time, gentlemen.

      Wasn't there talk about using one of them at DE? Khalil maybe? Seems like we could use some help there. :shrug:

      I would rather have them next season. This year could end up a wash. Keep their eligibility for a run next season.

      What happened to Peyton Newell in all of this DL talk?

  19. Why ESPN News....? Really? Could we sign a petition to get it moved to BTN or too late?

      The University and the Big Ten doesn't have any control where ESPN puts the game, once ESPN agrees to broadcast the game.

    3. Lux

      I disagree. A disgruntled fan base could get it moved. Trust me.

      I'm not disgruntled. I get ESPNNews in HD. I never get why people complain about what channel the games are on. If you want all the games, pony up with the cash.

  20. I heard whistles all afternoon while we were on offense. Have any of the players or coaches said anything ? Someone cut some clips and post them as proof. #whistlegate

      It's probably much more of an issue in the stands and on TV than down on the field.

  21. Banderas dinged up?

  22. Mcmullen and Freedom? Who's next on the rotation ?
