Hilltop

The turn around and climb out of the darkness is going to be fun to watch. We may lose to Purdue. So be it .. I'm still excited to see the process because I know by seasons end we will have hope. Call me crazy but I still see 5 our 6 wins coming.

We sound like a bunch of mother hens trying to protect a fragile egg. If AM is ready to play he will start. He may get injured on the first play or he may go through the next 4 year's without incident.... Coaches can't dwell on that. They play the best they have and hope for the best.

Signaling the end probably isn't the right term to use. I do believe it would make him move to #8 or 9 on the above list. I also think IF Nebraska beats Michigan Saturday, the loss won't look nearly as bad by seasons end. If we turn the corner this weekend, we may only lose a few more games and end up 7-5ish.

He is a good coach but he needs to figure out how to beat Ohio State, and Michigan State or he will be looking for a job in the next 2 years imo.

I AM does have to miss another couple games, I would think SF would start considering saving him for the last 3 games and using his red shirt. I hope that isn't the case but I do believe Bunch will improve significantly if given more playing time. The kid has talent so all wouldn't be lost imo.

Lol... That amazing rushing display against ucla. They had a terrible rush defense and were seriously uninspired to play a 5 win Nebraska team. Riley stunk... Seriously man let it go.

This team is passing the eye test in a lot of ways. I challenge anyone being negative to watch some of the individual battles instead of focusing on the score board. The wins will come with time. Any rational fan knew there would be rookie mistakes... But man do we have some awesome things happening. I'm actually excited with what I have seen.

The only part of it I miss is we used to be pretty damn good. A huge part of what fans liked about the big 12 was our North dominance.... (So this is what it felt like to be Missouri)

I'm not sure how anyone can call us evenly matched at this point. What we know is that CU beat a fairly weak CSU team convincingly and NU has had a bunch of practice and our stadium will be rocking to start the game. Beyond that we have a bunch of hope. I think it would be good for us to stay grounded as a fan base. I desperately want us to destroy CU, but in the bigger picture I want to see this program built back to a level of national relevance. Win or lose Saturday, I want to see the fight and energy from our players right up to the ending whistle.

NU - 27 CU - 20

By the time they got players actually settled in with blankets and pillows from who knows where, they would have been lucky to get 5 hours of sleep. Not ideal at all for their guys. I would have refused as well in his shoes. I commend our people for trying as it sounds like they made every reasonable effort but it didn't work. Nothing reasonable left of that dead horse to kick- moving on. In the mean time, we have a solid CU team to get ready for.

28-10...smh.

It was bad luck. Time to move on.

Throwing full water bottles at people from that high up isn't dramatic? That can cause serious damage to whoever it hits. They absolutely deserve jail time.

49-18-2 isn't a rivalry. They had a good team for a few years but in general it has been an epic beat down over the last 100 years.

There are a few sane ones replying on that thread and then a few that have no clue what they are talking about. Would be fun to go back after the game if it ends up how I think it will.

And then hire Kirk Ferentze?.... yuck. I'll pass

Reading between the lines a little- does that mean that first team will be in black after the first game?

The chances that this game will be cancelled or even delayed are very low. The SPC in Norman is predicting the system will primarily affect MO and the great lakes region with very little potential for severe weather. We may have a few showers but nothing like we experienced this past Saturday. We will play CU as scheduled, " ...DISCUSSION... Saturday-Tuesday Large-scale pattern is not expected to change appreciably during the upcoming medium-range period with the dominant feature being the upper ridge anchored over the Middle Atlantic. This flow regime will continue to favor significant number of convective events from the western Gulf States - southern Plains - Midwest. While the westerlies have retreated to near the international border, the remnants of Gordon are expected to eject across MO into the Great Lakes region during the day4-6 time frame.

I want to say a lot of bad things right now. None would do any good.

I am an hour South West of Lincoln. Weather sucks.

Huh... this is a little weird. I figured stuff like this would come after he brought us back to glory.

https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html Here is the latest from the SPC... Yeah I'm one of those crazy people that chases tornadoes. I would agree, most likely just going to be rain but there is a slight chance of severe- probably to our south during game time.

There is a chance of severe stuff... If it is bad is there any chance it would be delayed until Sunday? I didn't know if that had ever happened.

Ha hope not for an obvious joke. Moraine doesn't seem to have thin skin. Back on topic. I don't remember a year that the alternates were a surprise... Seems weird they aren't letting the fans see the designs ahead of time.
