Like I said, go take that to another thread. http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/77697-should-the-huskers-accept-a-bowl-gameNo thank you. No bowl deserved.
This link doesn't work.
Yeah, I didn't realize they were going to merge the damn threads. I was hoping to keep those different topics separate. No chance of this thread being what I was looking for now. I give up.
-
Why the f*ck where the threads merged? One is to discuss the facts of who is going to bowls and whether we have a chance at 5-7. The other is to ask opinions on whether we should accept if we get a bid.

Remaining teams (all 5-6 unless otherwise noted)
Tulsa plays Tulane (3-8) tonight.
Tomorrow's games:
ECU vs Cincinnati (6-5)
Indiana at Purdue (2-9)
Old Dominion vs FAU (2-9)
Virginia Tech at Virginia (4-7)
Kentucky vs Louisville (6-5)
Louisiana Lafayette (4-6) vs. App St (8-2) and Troy (3-8) next week, need to win both
South Alabama (5-5) vs Georgia Southern (7-3) and App St (8-2) next week, just needs 1 win
Illinois vs Northwestern (9-2)
Minnesota vs Wisconsin (8-3)
Kansas St (4-6) at Kansas (0-10) and West Virginia (6-4), need to win both
Pretty sure that's everyone still eligible, without resorting to 5-7 teams.

Yes. Are you kidding?
The extra practices are extremely valuable, and these players deserve any opportunities they are offered for their work and effort, regardless of results.

Coming into this weekend, there were 18 teams not yet bowl eligible but with a chance to go 6-6 or better, with 9 spots to fill. Looks like 5 so far, including us, won't be 6-6, with Buffalo on the ropes. Only 1 of the 18 has made it (Washington), with Ga State still alive for another week.

Yes, take the extra practice. Without a doubt.

This is the thread to track whether a 5-7 team (us) will get into a bowl.
Look, I know at 5-7 we don't deserve a bowl. But let's not discuss that here, nor how the whole bowl system should be overhauled. Please, keep it on track. And don't whine if I call you out for getting off track with the same old arguments.
And no, I'm not excited about this. But I am interested. If you're not, just skip this thread.
Washington wins to go 6-6, so they get a bowl. Missouri loses and drops to 5-7. San Jose St is about to lose and go 5-7. 5-6 Buffalo down by 11 late in the 3rd. Georgia St still alive at 5-6 but they probably won't be favored next week again Georgia Southern. Texas dropped to 4-7 last night.
Seems like more of the border teams are taking themselves out than not, so we may back into a bowl. Anyone do a count yet? I probably will later tonight.

He's gotta come in and earn it. I just have this bad memory of Curtis Dukes. He said everyone was telling him he was going to be the man, and he didn't think he had to work for it. I want the door open for him to start, but only if he works his ass off to learn the system and work with the receivers all summer.

That was, without question, the worst play call I've ever seen in my entire life as a football fan.
Desmond Howard won the Heisman on the same play. 4th and short, 1991, against Notre Dame at Michigan Stadium, UM up 17-14 I believe, and Howard hauled in the pass from Elvis Grbac to seal the win and propel him toward the Heisman
Elvis has left the building.

Wow. I take back any defense I've ever given for Langsdorf.
-
Same play twice in a row?
-
So...confirmed that Les Miles is fired from LSU? I guess Oklahoma State could take him back in...
...oh sweet baby Jesus, Mark May brought up the Bo Pelini firing. I just can't...
Sounds pretty certain but nothing official as someone else said. People seem to think that an anonymous source quoted in the media is somehow official.
#ESPN
Times Picayune/Nola.com was the ones who broke first. ESPN copied from them.
OK, I didn't look for it until later and found nothing official. "People" who don't understand what official means includes the media, I guess.

Why did we call time out with 7 seconds left. We should not have had to kick off.
My weak defense of this is that on 3rd down, with a bad snap the holder could throw the ball away and we'd still have a 2nd chance at a FG.
-
I think Ferentz is feeling the pressure of an unbeaten season. If it weren't for a few penalties and 2 INTs (which unfortunately, are part of our game), they would be way down. If we can start the 2nd half well I think he'll melt down.

Lots of newborn babies being caught by Carter.

Is this football or ladies tennis
Football. With rules. Rules that are trying to limit the number of brain injuries these guys get.

Alex Lewis whiffed on the cut block on the pick 6.
I rewound my DVR to that play. It's like he laid down in front of the guy.

BRI, do you really see the guy veer toward the officer? He's pretty clearly moving left to right to put more distance between him and the vehicle as he walks in that direction, and the most I see is that he straightens out his line for a couple steps and looks over at the officer, and gets shot. I think the defense is going to have a hard time convincing the jury that he made a threatening move or any kind of move actually toward the officer, though continuing to carry a knife when presumably the police were telling him to drop it is very stupid. I will buy that in the dark and from the officer's angle it may have looked different.
And for the 21 foot rule, that includes the time to unholster the weapon, right. The cop already has his weapon drawn and pointed. Does the 21 foot rule still apply when you've already got your gun trained on the target? I don't think the 21 foot rule is going to fly with a jury either.
It's a tough job, of that I'm certain, but I don't think this cop was fit for it.
I said I seen him veer for a split second or at least change his path, split seconds matter in the real world, maybe not in the internet world as that split second now turns into weeks of discussion of how things could've been done better. Depending on the training you've had and how specific that training is depends on how you see that even in the law enforcement world.
I'm not playing games with someone with a knife.
I'm not saying he was fit for it, people take my words as twist them around constantly when I try and discuss these things. I wonder if everyone else would enjoy that anytime they would comment on something?
Thanks, I was just looking for your perspective on it especially with respect to the 21 foot guidelines. Yes, I was questioning your judgement whether he was actually veering toward him at all, but the rest was just offering my own view, not arguing against yours. Did not mean to imply that you made any call about whether the cop was fit for duty. Didn't mean to put you on the defensive at all. Sorry that the way I worded it came out that way.

Interesting how Navy and even 3 loss UCLA still have a chance. I guess that's the Armageddon scenario, where everyone else loses.
And there are still people who think Notre Dame gets every break in the rankings and everything else, but even if they finish with a win over a top 10 team, they still have less than 50% chance to get in, behind at least 2 other 1 loss teams. Probably 3.

But a funny thing happened on the way to corporatizing College Football - when the Big XII was formed, Oklahoma chose to play their real rival after Thanksgiving - Texas, not Nebraska. The Big XII thought long and hard about who could replace Oklahoma on Black Friday, and ended up foisting Colorado off on us.
Huh? When did they play after Thanksgiving? Never, I'm pretty sure. Texas continued their game with A&M until A&M went to the SEC. We stopped playing Oklahoma every year since they were in a different division, that's why we stopped playing them after Thanksgiving. It wasn't going to be an annual game anymore.

So who's got the advantage with nondescript weather?

That links says you can still have one win count against lower level teams:
For some reason the article omitted teams (K State and ULaLa) that are 2 wins away but still in the running.
