I was kind of hoping that moving the outdoor track to Innovation Campus would be an excuse to finally raze the Ice Box. What a dump that place has become.

Hasn't it always been kind of a dump?  It seems like a re-used fairground barn.  Are the Stars relocating to Breslow?

I have Minnesota -1 but I took it on Tuesday.

Lebron James + DWade

How about these two guys?

Where do I send the therapy bill for this?

My new pick....Bruce Springsteen.  

I'm considering making a large wager on Ohio State to help guarantee a close game for us.

How do you think that Wazzu kid felt on Sunday morning.  Threw for 9 TDs and still managed to lose?  That's gotta hurt.

Northwestern looked TERRIBLE vs Michigan State.  I know historically Michigan State puts together a very good defense, but they had Fitzgerald clueless out there.

Wow....wouldn't it be fun if the narrative on Monday was....."It appears the Big Ten West is the best division after Wisconsin destroyed Michigan and Nebraska took care of business against OSU"?

 

I'm starting to get pumped already for this game.

I think the most likely headline following a win would be "800 hospitalized due to severe alcohol poisoning....due to the Huskers massive victory!  Go Big Red!"

Ohio State will be waiting for the bubble screens, where a Pick Six is always just inches away. 

 

I think we're pretty good with the playcalling that generated 700 yards last week. I just hope the coaches will instruct the players not to commit turnovers. 

 

I hope they've been instructing them not to commit turnovers all year.  Otherwise I think we have a bigger issue on our hands...

I've been really enjoying Succession on HBO.

The hard part about "stacking the box" against Wisconsin is how well their linemen release from their first block, shove their opposing D-lineman out of the way, and step into the next level to chip a linebacker. 

 

Your defensive linemen have to shift/twist and your linebackers have to stay home and not just get lost in the fray. 

Michigan looked terrible in this regard on Saturday.

Michigan looked terrible at about every aspect of football on Saturday.

Michigan's defense also looked like they have never played football. 

You'd think they would be prepared to stop the run, considering they had just played Army who threw a grand total of 5 passes during the game.

Wisconsin is playing amazing right now, but I still think they're beatable.  Michigan had some of the worst QB play I'd ever seen that game.  I'd like for someone to load up the box, stop Taylor and make their QB beat them.  He might have it in him, but it seems like they're a very one dimensional football team.

Hopefully we see some more quick passes, bubble screens etc. Last year we got no pressure on the QB and Dobbins ran wild on us. Hopefully we can flip the script 

QB Pressure and Ball Security are the biggest keys, IMO.

God, my generic football platitudes are making me feel like Booger McFarland.

Just make about a hundred of these but really huge

I’d prefer it to be someone who lives in the area, I would like it to be Bud. I like the idea of Jack Hoffman, or you know...maybe nows the time to invite Bo back to campus like I mentioned in another thread. 

Isn't part of the current gimmick that they have someone "fly in" on their sponsor's jet?  Not that it isn't fake, but don't they have to at least suspend the disbelief...a little bit?  

Official petition to have the PA play "Wake me up before you JoJo" whenever he does something good.

Millen ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. I saw the same thing, it was close but I think he stayed back. It's just hilarious how their line handled it - if he was in the neutral zone, flinching to draw the call works. So does snapping the ball and letting the QB chuck it deep. In neither case is it smart to then remain in your stance as a lineman - even if he was offsides, snapping it means the play is live and your QB won't like the 5 yards in return for getting lit up. 

But he was so good as the GM of the Lions.  Think of all those can't miss WRs he drafted!

I think they should do it from the parking lot of the Russ's on 17th and Washington

I think we should ditch the Teflon gloves for gloves with adhesive properties.

I was 7-9 on Saturday.  Made it all back with a big bet on the Rams last night.

New Mexico -4 L

Kansas ML L

Kentucky ML L

Auburn ML W

North Carolina -2.5 L

Temple -14 L

Nebraska -13.5 L

Michigan State 2H O17 W

Boston College 2H -3 W

Tennessee +13 L

Wisconsin -3 W

Uconn +28 L

Cal +2.5 W

Boston College -8 W

Northwestern +8 L

Syracuse -5.5 W

I think the chances are very good that they're coming to Lincoln

I hate all of them.  Boo all other teams.

But can we underlook them?  Or is that not appropriate?
