Philly is in huge trouble. No way they make it out of the NFC IMO. Anything can happen in a playoff though, that's why I'm stoked for an actual one in college ball soon!

Enjoy it! Signed, a Broncos fan shaking my head at the stuff in the tweets above.

How about we start with "can Nebraska ever make a bowl again?". Once that box is checked, let's add "can Nebraska make the playoff?" and "can Nebraska win the conference?", then progress to greatness questioning.

Stop saying "it just had a good 30 year run". We've been good for decades more than that way back when, as people have pointed out. It was also THE BEST 30 YEAR RUN IN HISTORY. That's quite different.

I sort of get what you're on about, but Raiola is 100% here because of his love for NU/family. He would have been paid just fine at either school. We almost didn't get him because we are much worse than those schools, hence the earlier commitments, and we're lucky he came anyway. Don't kid yourself here that we flipped the kid for any other reason beyond his big red roots.

So you are using the flip of a 5 star as an argument to why recruiting doesn't matter? Makes sense.

Damn. Did they play Iowa like 7 times that year???

You sound just like people at my work who discuss risks to any project. What if the sun burns out though?! Then we die, Carol! Can we do this install before that happens or not????

You misspelled Scott Frost. Seriously though, Iowa is going to hire a Joe Philbin or Paul Chryst type probably. The most boring, and most Iowa, hire. Kirk was quoted saying something like "the new OC must respect the Iowa offense" or "Iowa style" or some other nonsense recently. I personally want to watch the meltdown if they hired Frost, but it honestly would be a better hire than the names above who will bring zero change.

Gebbia had to defend his doctoral thesis that day unfortunately.

Isn't that the same as the big hubbub in the NFL this weekend with the OL not reporting (or the refs missed it etc) and catching a pass for Detroit's 2 PT conversion? Lineman aren't allowed to handle the ball on a set play I didn't think. Not to say that really makes a ton of sense, but it is the rule AFAIK.

I hope it is a sign of burgeoning parity, and I hope the 12 team playoff and NIL/transfer portal keep that momentum going. The same 4 or 5 teams being good/in the playoff every year makes for much less interesting games. Spreading out the talent will let more teams make runs.

Iowa claims 5 Nattys too. We only claim modern era titles, not ones during ancient years where there were 4 or 5 different entities naming winners. We could have upwards of 10 like some other schools if we did that also.

Nah. We are a RED blooded, top ten historical program. Having a bad run, but great for 100 plus years in the grand scheme.

Wooo! Just like my Broncos won their last playoff game, and last lost one in 2015.

The answer was....score more.

Betting bowl games is a crapshoot.

Linkon Cure? As in the fix we've been looking for?!?! He is from Kansas, can't miss this opportunity.

Definitely have to have the drive, which is TBD you're right. They have leaders on the team, but Landeskog continuing to be out is a larger issue than folks realize in the locker room. The biggest difference between 22 and 23/24. That and a 2nd line C.

You'd rather not have multiple 6'4" 200lb fast WR on the team?

Missing Gerard more than I expected. Toews called out his teammates recently. Just figure it out come April. I'd rather struggle a bit in the winter than to peak early like last year.

Take that Texas!

Yep. We absolutely need guys like him on the team, and I applaud him stepping in when there was no one else. We simply need better QB play, and he knows that as well.

Why not? Let him have the announcement as he probably isn't playing on Sundays.

The Frisco? Oakland West? What do you prefer out there?
