I don't think the majority of our fan base, or our coaches/team, want us to get into a bowl game due to a vacated win. All teams steal signs. The majority of teams use in person scouts. Hell, they even do that around here for class C high school.

Weather looks great for this game. I think both offenses have some success. Nebraska 31 Northwestern 20 Rush 274 Pass 184

Like the preseason videos, I think these are well done and fun to watch.

I don't disagree with this concept in general but there are plenty of players labeled 4 & 5 stars that take a year or two before they are ready for this level. Not saying Coleman won't be the guy by the end of the year but fans need to understand that not every "star" freshman is ready to excel out of the gate.

HH isn't a good QB but he is a winner.

A chance to equal our stride,

He is physically ready but has some mental maturing to do. If he moves on, so be it. Imo, we should put the best guys on the field each week without regard to worrying about the transfer portal.

Michigan 30 Nebraska 17 Passing 174 Rushing 189

The money isn't coming from 20-30 something year old fans... fyi. Appeal to the money to make more. Mediocre rap songs don't fit that bill.

Thanks, Lol, I hadn't seen it. In my defense, this site takes so damn long to load on my work computer with all the ads that I typically don't wait 5 minutes just to see what threads there are.

I miss the look alike threads... so many possibilities with this guy

Nebraska - 41 La Tech - 13 Passing - 202 Rushing - 284

I have been giving this a lot of thought. One reason I give HH the nod is because he is used to winning football games. I know that sounds lazy but the reality is the kid is 21-3 over his last 24 starts. Yes that includes high school but winning is winning. I believe it to be a mentality that has been missing around here for some time. Sims has only won 8 games in 27 starts while throwing 27 interceptions. With that record I find it hard to believe Sims steps on the field expecting to win a game. HH isn't polished, and has a lot to learn, but at least the kid is stepping on the field with a belief he is going to win... that goes a long ways in competition. I would roll with HH while trying to build back some confidence in Sims. As mentioned before, both are probably needed this year. GBR

Decent chance of severe weather in Lincoln but they are on the western edge of the bad stuff- should move out of the area by early evening so worst case the game gets delayed several hours, not days or weeks.

I like this approach. As was mentioned before, we will likely need both of them, and maybe Purdy, to get through the season.

If our QB play is good, we have a great shot in all remaining games outside of Michigan. That's a huge "if" though. 6-6 feels like the ceiling right now.

No it isn't. We comfortably beat Buffalo in 2021 and North Dakota in 2022 and the fan base had almost identical reactions. I do agree it was a well coached game and am not trying to do anything other than point out that our fan base overreacts to all highs and lows.

Our fan base still overreacts when we play good against a weak opponent. HH played ok but the defense he faced was significantly weaker than Sims faced in the first 2 weeks. That said, I think you have to continue the trial by fire with him until it doesn't work.

Name one in the power 5. What CU has done is unprecedented. Credit where it's due but this is lightning in a bottle that just doesn't happen.

Jekyll & Hyde

10am kickoff do suck but for this particular game, I like it. Fans will be juiced up but not like they would be for a later kickoff.

Lol, sure you did.

I'll add on to the original post I quoted you on. Here is what you said that I responded to- " Both Colorado and Nebraska have new first year coaches and both had access to the same pool of talent." Show me where Nebraska, or any other team in the nation, had a shot at the two best players on CU's team, because without them, this thread and CU's season would be on a different trajectory.
