They do, it's just when they finally get to actually play them, they may not be ranked anymore. (Cal this year, Virginia Tech next year are excellent examples of that for OSU) just want to piggyback coqui's statement with a nebraska example. remember when nebraska played TCU during ladanian tomlinson's senior year? oh yeah, tcu backed out at the last minute. some of the scheduling is bad just because they have to play the lesser schools to get the home game. some of it is because of schools backing out. and didnt the B1G decide to not play any more fcs schools starting in the next couple years?

not all. there are people who think before they open their mouth. or hit post.

MSU goes 12-1 and beats tOSU yet tOSU is the only bright spot?

can also use social media to send a more positive message to the players and drown out the negative ones. it seems the negative points are the ones getting to the coaches and players. maybe we just need to step up more for the team as fans to put forth a positive message.

Your thread was horrible from the start and your sources suck. A lot of you guys on this board think Bo is a God, If he's so great, and this place sucks(facilities, recruiting, etc.) according to some here, why is no one knocking on his door and why isn't he looking? He probably is looking and AD's are laughing in his agents face. He doesn't want to be here, but nobody is knocking on the door because he is a train wreck. Bottom line is he is going nowhere until we get the balls and money to fire him. This is a great place and program, we can do better. After 14 years of mediocrity, we deserve better. no sense of entitlement there.

wasnt 2012 the year they only had like 17 scholarships?

the selection committee actually has people that know football on it. they also know that it is harder to go 12-0 than it is 11-1. and pretty sure they wouldnt make up their minds based off what espn says.

dont worry, he still had his patented leather jacket on.

had they hit on a few more of the deeper balls the underneath routes open up more as well as the run game. most of the play calls were very good calls if they are executed. even the execution of the plays wasnt that bad either on many. some of the execution errors can be fixed with more game experience.

Does anyone have stats for percentage of our passes that are under 15 yards and over 15 yards? you want that for all attempts or just completions? and if for just completions do you want them broken down into throws that were less 15 yds but the YAC made them longer and throws that were more than 15 yds? then do you want the the percentage minus the drops or the percentage had there been no drop?

it'll be a tilted to one side more than the other. be lots of 2-3 game win streaks for one team with the other winning in omaha every now and then. it just wont seem that nebraska is piling up win after win against the other scum.

fudge. TA or RKIII is gonna have 30 pass attempts. maybe in the 2nd half beck will actually call some running plays.

still doesnt say he is unqualified to be a HC. might actually point to the prior OC being a micro-managing HC.

573 yards per game, #2 in the country behind ungodly Baylor. Chip Kelly's offenses surpassed that average in zero of his four seasons there. In fact, it ranks as the most YPG in Oregon history and in the top 10 in FBS history! That surpasses both 1995 Nebraska (556) and 1983 Nebraska (547). If that is not being ready, please please place Tim Beck on the not-ready train as soon as possible. more to being a head coach than putting up good numbers as an OC. conversely there's more to being a head coach than having your offense falter a little as the season goes on.

Glad you enjoyed your day there Fowler. But do you know how exaggerated this sounds? Dominated??? While TRAILING, a freshman QB pitched a game winning TD to Abdullah inside the 10 with two minutes left in the game is what you got out of that? In front of 112K people. Seasoned group. Domination. Wow................ That defense held Michigan to negative 21 rushing yards, and under 200 offensive yards for the game. I personally would consider that a dominating defensive performance The week before they were held to negative 48 yards rushing on 29 carries. the week before that they ran for 248 and passed for 503. the week after, they ran for 139 and passed for 226. what point were you trying to make by pointing out their rushing performance against a top 5 defense?

Or you know............ At least be funny! I'll try harder next time. how hard should you have to try with explosive diarrhea? does most of the work for you already, doesnt it?

fan appreciation, if we expect them to improve then the fans should as well.

why would you be worried about the second best team in the state of kansas?

there is more to an athletic scholarship than just the athletic side. the B1G also rules of sorts to prevent student-athletes from just being cut. and just because a player doesnt see the field on saturday doesnt mean he isnt contributing in making the team better.

i never saw hall throw a punch. did see dontrel wilson and #83 (who wasnt ejected) throw one. all i really saw from hall was a shove.

auburn should win. missouri is still coached by pinkel. in any event, the tigers will win saturday.

This comes with being paid over 3M and being in the public eye. If he can't take that part of the job then he needs to resign and stop embarrassing the university with his tirades. What recruiting class? Hell he is using the same mantra that Frank used to put this program in the shitter in the first place and that is not actively recruiting during the season. It seems as if Bo is a genius, don't recruit well enough to have depth, so when the injury bug hits as it does every team, you have a built in excuse for losing another 4 and possibly 5 games a year. You wonder why we had to play RKIII? Well we turned Jamal Turner into a WR so TMart could still "grow" into one day maybe being a servicalbe QB, and then we put all of our eggs into the Bubba Starling basket knowing full well that he was going to play professional baseball. That isn't bad luck, that is bad recruting/coaching. Good point. I completely forgot about this. He could have been a great option QB if given the chance. But we'll never know. Then what about our WR depth? Or the fact that TA was clearly a better option at QB than Turner when they both arrived in the same class? turner arrived one year before TA.

they got up for their rival and won on a fluke play. and next week they play a team whose best win was against a team decimated by injuries and the other notable wins are against teams propped up by their conference affiliation. not seeing how an 11-1 record is better than 12-0.

so winning all your games doesnt count as much as beating the "right" teams and losing a game or two?

how do you explain your loss then?
