  1. Hi all, I will be working during the game today (sucks, I know). When the games are on espn or Btn I can replay them in full, but what about fox? Anyone know how to stream a replay of the game later tonight?

     

    i figured there might be more of us out there who are wondering how this can be done. (DVR is not an option for me)

     

    GBR

  2. Walter White. Duh.

     

     

    Still trying to figure out who WW is.

    Walt Whitman, Walter White, Woodrow Wilson, Willy Wonka, Wim Wenders, Wilson Wilson, Where's Waldo?, Wes Walker, William Wallace, Wallace Wensleydale, Wincent Walentine?
  3. No. I'm not really being serious. But where do you draw the line. Basketball makes money. At Nebraska so does girls volleyball. So are those ok and others not? What if you were raised by grandma and grandpa? What if you were part of a divorced family and have 4 parents. There are so many variables.

     

    Just to do it for some and not others doesn't see right.

     

    Should my parents have been flown in to watch my band concert? I was on scholarship.

     

    Of course not, right?

     

    Well, why is football different.

    You serious?

     

    Maybe because football players make the school money?

  4. You don't coach as long as mike has and then fire your friend because "your boss told you to". Mike doesn't need this job and his boss wasn't going to fire him for not firing banker.

     

    This is mike's choice. To me it shows his priorities are making this team great.

  5. To be clear--when I said tom Osborne used to do this all the time, I didn't mean just running up the score.

     

    He used to go for it on 4th down while up by half a hundred All-the-Time.

     

    He would say in interviews that he did it to give the other team a chance to stop them rather than just adding field goal points. He felt it was the way a good sport would handle the situation.

  6. A lot of negativity here which is expected after a blowout.

     

    I felt like the team played hard they just were outmanned at every turn. I felt the team kept fighting even though game was over.

     

    Tommy just elevated himself in a way I didn't think was possible. He had no need to come back to the stadium, and you know he knew the score...and he still did it to be with his team. Big balls from a big time player with a lot of heart. I can't remember seeing anything like that in sports.

     

    It shows he loves his teammates and was hoping to support and help them in any way possible. That says a lot about him and probably says a lot about this team in general and the direction they are going.

  7. I'm not clicking--but it would be hard to argue he is wrong.

     

    Nebraska was king of big 8 and 12. Sometimes co-Kings but always royalty.

     

    Since joining the B1G Nebraska has only been 2nd tier. Sometimes even in their own division.

     

    It has more to do with competitiveness, rather than conference...but it is hard to deny that NE has made more money but is down as a national brand.

  8. Agree with those saying to tap the breaks.

     

     

    Even if we win a B1G championship we are not back. Lots of teams win their conferences.

     

    We would need to be in that game most times over the course of multiple years to be "back".

     

    What we have right now is a nice start to a promising season.

  9. Things I know are this:

     

    1. Everyone loves to hate on Newby because he sucked last year

    2. He sucked last year because he was hurt for a majority of the year

    3. No one will give him the benefit of doubt for #1 and #2 despite him putting in more years through more turmoil than any other RB we have.

    4. Despite his obvious experience/new found jitter/running with authority and his obvious speed (he IS the fastest back we have), he's still counted out because people can't get past #1 and #2

     

     

    It's the 'cool thing' to bash on Newby right now and it's getting old really fast. As others have said in this thread, Oz benefited from some better blocking...he also got the entire 4th quarter. If it had instead been given to Newby, things might have turned out differently. Newby didn't get a carry in the 4th.

     

    Anyone out there want to give him a break yet?

    I do! I didn't care for him last year and felt Wilbon was much stronger.

     

    Truth is that newly looked good this game. He had moves I haven't seen from him. Go get 'em Newb. Keep it up!

  10. As a guy who at times thought just maybe they should be fired (during season after bad losses) I have to say that I am tilting toward the "love them" side.

     

    I pretty much love everything about them other than the W/L thing. And that will take care of itself either way. Put me officially on the bandwagon.
