    I have now learned that Buffalo will either be a close loss or a close win and that every game we have left this season we will be the dog.  Now that we know that Illinois is a terrible team and that our defense was pushed up and down the field by a back-up QB, I can't wait to move on from this turd sandwich that is our current football program.  The next HC coming in will have to do a total rebuild of Frost's total rebuild. 

     

     

    A positive discovery:  Read this thread.  Looks like we've learned a few things about the Huskers since this thread after the Illinois game.  This whole thread was about how crappy we are and how we're likely to be underdogs in the Buffalo game and not that big of favorite in the Fordham game.  Both were blowouts by us. 

     

    Now we head to Norman heavy underdogs (23 points or so).  I feel that it's possible we don't let Oklahoma cover that spread, going by what we've learned since the Illinois game.

  2. One more year only if he delivers measurable improvement this season a-la five wins and some close losses and more semblance of an upward swing, such as average penalties per game or lower and the same with turnovers.  This to show that he’s coaching toward true goals instead of "guessing" (as he famously said last week).  Then, next year, six wins and a bowl win.  Up from there.  
     

    otherwise, we’ve seen this all before and need to get a coaching staff worthy of other than success in lower tier conferences.

    "Could not" and "did not" are two different things. But you're right, we need to play really close to our absolute peak and get a lot of luck this week. 

     

    "Could not" is a statement about our lack of abilities.  "Did not" is the result of those lack of abilities.  Mild disagreement, but I get your point too.  I fear for the entire season because of what appears to be our lack of abilities.

    Considering that nobody thinks we're going to win, including our own head coach, I'll take Oklahoma 55-17.

     

    One thing I find amusing is how Scott Frost routinely throws his players under the bus, either by trashing their work ethic when he was first hired or by having so little faith in his players (and his own coaching ability) he tried to dodge the game. 

     

    We're going to get embarrassed and everybody knows it.

     

    Sadly that kind of.. you know.. says it all.

    The media asked Luke Reimer if he knew anything about the Game of the Century, and he guessed "was that in the 60s or 70s".  At first, I thought "how could he not know", but then the more I thought about it, that was something that happened 50 years ago.  That's like asking me about my thoughts on World War II when I was in college in the mid-90s.  It's something that seems like ancient history.

     

    Yeah.  I'm hoping Scott Frost will be able to impart some of the real feel of those days and that one game to the players.. perhaps with some film.

    We control the clock, run the ball, no turnovers no dumb penalties we may have a shot. The less OU’s offense is on the field the better our odds of pulling off the upset, IMO. We will not win a shootout with them.

     

    Dude, we could not beat Illinois on the road.  Yeah we've won two pillow fights since then and some are calling it "improvement," "growth," etc. 

     

    But... let's be real.. we need some luck to be in this game much at all.

    They beat an undersized FCS team that has gone 7-27 (0-2, '21; 1-8, '20; 3-9, '19; and 3-8, '18) over the past 4 seasons. Not saying we'll win, but really should take nothing from this game.

     

     

     

    In Norman this coming Saturday it'll be a mistake prone team on the road against a team at home with the kind of confidence their opponent used to have, long forgotten by all but the Head Coach and older fans.

  8. Honestly, we could have been so bad that both this game and Chevyham or whatever it was could have been stuggles.. as it was only the first quarter or so and we got on track against two lower tier programs:  Mejor que nada.  We could well be 0-3 this season if we were as bad as some of us opine.  As it is, we'll likely get at least one more win and maybe even a surprise win at some point.

    There will be people drinking literally at every parking lot.  Most will use solo cups but I have seen just about everything including bottles of jack being passed around without issue.  Like others have said, you would have to intentionally do something to create a problem to get in trouble.

     

    Yes, and I dare say I've seen all manner of beer being held and guzzled by folks right out near the intersection by gate 2 where a lot of tickets are hawked.  Cops nearly always there and as long as everything is peaceful you won't get their attention.

    I have 4 paper tickets for the game tomorrow.  Any season ticket holder could request paper vs mobile.  

     

    Yeah I got paper (little ones) in the mail.  Not the real nice booklet version, understandibly.  Not going to Buffalo game .. seeing real low prices so just going to (figuratively) eat them.  Well, maybe not figuratively.  What the heck.

    have to go out and look like we know how to play football and win and move on.   that might be to much to ask but let's hope it looks something like that today.

     It looked like that throughout most of the game, after they got going.  They did good.  Bigger challenges ahead (obviously), and to look at Buffalo as a sure win might be a mistake.

    Lots of good could come from a win.

     

    Might depend on what kind of win.  A struggle to win against Fordham would have a lot of grumbling and truth be told would put an exclamation point on what is being said about many losses we've had, including Illinois.  A blowout is needed. 

  13. Citing, "strain on the sensibilities and emotions of the great people of the State of Nebraska," recently hired Athletic Director Trev Alberts has indicated that the football program will play its last game against Fordham University on September 4th, pointing out that to end football in Nebraska with a "likely win" would be a worthwhile gamble. 

     

    "Season ticket monies already in the Nebraska coffers will be spread out evenly along the banks of the Keya Paha River, where it's mulching properties will do the most good," he added.
