BIG refs are horrendous. The worst crew is working the Iowa game today. They are the knuckle heads who worked the NU/ NW game. If we get them Friday, we’re screwed.

It may come down to field position and turnovers.

I wonder if Chris will get a look at WR with his altheticism and physicality. I also could see him as a good OLB or rush end if he puts on a lot of good weight. Ignore the rankings. I’m just glad he’s N!

I’m with you. I guess I’m just taking the cautious approach now. If win these last two, I’ll be dancing in the streets!

Epic Turnaround? I love the enthusiasm and Frost is definitely our guy, but let’s beat MSU and/or Iowa before we get too carried away. If we can’t sustain momentum after beating three teams we should have beaten, then where does that leave us? With all this sunshine pumping, I fear we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment if we should lose tomorrow or next Friday. Win the next two and I’ll agree with everything the OP said.

These are some awfully high scoring predictions for what looks to be a cold day.

We don't need another Prima Dona. Not saying he is, but if the alleged shenanigans about Frost getting a call last night are true.....forget this kid. There will be others without the baggage. Don't need that. Disclaimer: The aforementioned shenanigans could be made up and Wandale may be a great kid who just wants to stay closer to home. If so, more power to him and I hope he does well. We'll be fine either way.

I know Frost is high on Jurgens, but OC next year? Talk about being on the fast track.

Is it insane? I’m not saying I agree with this theory, but it’s not insane either. Some of you folks really want to believe college football is immune from this type of corruption. Delaney has publicly said he essentially would like to cater to NCAA sports gambling. That shows where his priorities are. But some of you insist that any thought of chicanery is insane. It’s just us poor fans with our feelings hurt looking to spread the blame anyway we can. While I have no knowledge of any specific wrongdoing by anyone, I’m not going to sit here and make excuses for the refs or otherwise believe that college football is so squeaky clean that this couldn’t happen.

Witnessing that game in person Saturday, I am 100% convinced that there was a real effort by the officials to side with NW on penalty calls. Now, I don't believe the BIG hates Nebraska or refs hold grudges and I am not some crazy conspiracy theorist. I do, however, have eyes and what they saw was atrocious. I'm getting annoyed with people chalking it ALL up to bad coaching, dumb or undisciplined players, etc. Sure, there was some of that, but its not that NW is just some perfectly disciplined team and we just suck. It's hard to overcome biased officiating, I don't care who you are. As to what was the driving factor behind the officiating I witnessed? I don't know, but I have my theories.

I hate to "read in" too much on what you're saying, but it's almost like you are seeing the penalty disparity Saturday justifiable due to past "reputations" that the teams have supposedly earned. Serious question: Were you at the game Saturday? The reason I'm asking, is because I understand there is a difference in being able to see TV replays vs. seeing it up close and live, but not being able to see the replays. I was at the game and was close to the field and without replay, its tough to determine the legitimacy of pass interference calls, etc. What I did see was NW holding our D-line and rushers multiple times throughout the game without it ever being flagged and it pissed me off to no end.

If officials are slanting a game based on past reputations, then they should not be officials. That is completely unacceptabble.

1. Our pass defense is bad. Period. 2. Big officials reached a new low for sucking. Not so much for our penalties, but the egregious lack of NW’s. Was at game. Northwestern held all day long. It’s bad folks. I don’t know if it’s Delaney, whoever’s in charge of officiating for the conference, or maybe the refs today are the dumbest people on the planet. 3. HCSF. I love that he’s our coach, but he didn’t call his best game today, IMO. 4. The Oline , gave Martinez time to throw a lot, but choked when it mattered most. 5. This team needs a killer instinct.

It annoys me when writers do that. It's no wonder coaches get iritated with sports writers.

Well stated.

As we also need conservatives to do the same. You haven’t exactly been a role model for open mindedness.

It is. If gets convicted of it, he should be out (and prosecuted). He has not been convicted of anything yet, so the talk of impeachment makes no sense at this time.

True. I’ve just been impressed with Ozigbo this season and would have liked to see him get more touches, but Washington is pretty special.

It would be inappropriate to impeach Kavanaugh if no crime was committed. The man got it. Let him do his job. I know that’s not how politics work though and it’s sad.

IIRC. Last season, Wisconsin struggled to stop Ozigbo most of the first half. I would have liked to see more of a running game Saturday.

Darn autocorrect!! You’ve failed me again. Actually I’m horrible at typing on my phone.

Yep. I’m rediculous. I blame the Clinton’s.

He showed zero composure under stress. Threw out baseless accusations, started bawling, said “I like beer” fifty times. Not who I want making critical decisions.

Kavanaugh may end up being a good Justice, but his overly emotional performance in the Senate testimony hearing shows he is not fit to be on the SCOTUS. Time will tell.

Agreed.
