Recall that in 2017 (I think) under Riley, they also said we had some of the best practices they'd seen. So take that with a giant grain of salt. These guys have jobs to do, and part of that is drumming up viewers.

It's much easier for the talking heads who don't have time to dig into all teams to stick with the status quo. I believe Minnesota will be better than most think. With these injuries, and that schedule, combined with either Coan or a true freshman, Wisconsin will indeed have a tough year. Mertz will be good there I think, but I don't think he jumps in and succeeds right away like Martinez did.

There is one specific play in the Pelini era that would have avoided the Riley disaster. It's called the jet sweep.

Love the list, but you and I have different memories of Roy Helu. I like speed backs that aren't afraid of contact, and big backs who aren't afraid of contact. Pretty much I want the entire team to be physical.

I'm with you. I want all the bodies possible out there. Forget redshirting if he already has the size, go recruit some more.

I think the #19 is significant. I would bet those are it.

Ah, gotcha. I actually have 5 buddies coming on Thursday for this game, we're all renting a house near Estes Park, and we don't have tickets yet. Going down day of/watching for big price drops right before. If we don't get in, we'll go to a bar. I don't think I'd do something similar at most B1G schools out east though.

....Mountains?

Yep. I work in Boulder and no one (95%) gives a crap about CU. NFL is king around here.

I understand abot rival or no and preseason rankings, but how do you feel about 2 qbs on the field at the same time?!

It's not measured by record alone, but in competitiveness, toughness, reducing mistakes, etc. I think we all agree on that. However, this team was a couple bounces away from 6-6 last year with a harder schedule, new coaches/system and a freshman QB. To say 6-6 would be success this year means in year 2, easier schedule, better conditioning, year 2 in system etc. they produced the same result. That is why folks feel the record must improve and to a good degree, along with thise other factors to have a successful year.

I prefer:

I fully agree, but the rankings at the time seem to stand out in people's memories more than where things stand at the end of the season.

He still isn't 190, but if they don't ask him to bang inside all day then that is fine. He won't hold up if the do. We have Mills for that, plus the occasional change of pace with smaller guys/Adrian.

Mavric's win total stats are correct, but Bo lost a fair amount to lower ranked teams, (at the time of the game), which is what you're remembering. 2009: #15 Nebraska loses to unranked Texas Tech 2010: #9 Nebraska loses to #18 A&M 2011: #17 Nebraska loses by 28 to #20 Michigan 2012: #16 Nebraska loses to unranked UCLA #14 Nebraska loses by 39 to unranked Wisconsin 2013: #25 Nebraska loses to unranked Minnesota 2014: #11 Nebraska loses by 35 to #22 Wisconsin #21 Nebraska loses to unranked Minnesota

This is an interesting one. 100% CB to Texas for a kid from Texas, including Wiltfong, and 3 top insiders from other schools. Yet he commits to Auburn. He either hides it well or....................

It depends on the quality of the stream. HD will be around 1 GB per hour yes, but lower quality will use less. I don't know where you live/camp but I would love to be able to do that. Camping in the mountains around here means no service, which is great in a different way but not when Nebraska plays!

It would also mean starting 5-0, but finishing 3-4. Beating 3 of the top teams on the schedule but still losing to 4 others down the stretch. It looks like he just expects eggs to be laid on the road no matter the opponent and he thinks NW has our number still.

Ask again when we get to page 47 in this thread by November.

Occam's razor indeed.
