Scratchtown

I was in 7th grade and totally thought Nebraska was going to win. Blind optimism of being a kid. Now I'm overly cautious agaisnt Illinois every year.

My bad! I had it listed in my spreadsheet I keep track of, not sure why I forgot to list that!

I'm sorry but most of us hate Iowa. To me its a rival, not because of the current situation but embracing the longevity that it will be. It doesn't have to stay on Black Friday. Nebraska isn't changing conferences again so think about the schools you absolutely want to piss pound. That's Iowa, and Wisconsin in my opinion. I can't freaking stand either of these two schools. Minnesota, Purdue and the rest of the west division is so irrelevant to me. Kansas was more relevant to me. Since 2000 (Only current Power 5 + Notre Dame teams included =65) Wins Nebraska is 21st with 154 Iowa is 24th with 151 Conference Titles Nebraska has 0 Iowa has 2 BCS Bowls / New Years 6 Bowls (non playoff games or championship games) Nebraska has 0 Iowa has 3 (EDIT) National Championship Appearances Nebraska 1 (2001 season) Iowa 0 Neither has a Playoff appearance. Nebraska vs Iowa (Since 2000) (average score Neb 22 Iowa 28) 2000 - Nebraska 42 Iowa 13 2011 - Nebraska 20 Iowa 7 2012 - Nebraska 13 Iowa 7 2013 - Iowa 38 Nebraska 17 2014 - Nebraska 37 Iowa 34 (OT) 2015 - Iowa 28 Nebraska 20 2016 - Iowa 40 Nebraska 10 2017 - Iowa 56 Nebraska 14 2018 - Iowa 31 Nebraska 28

Yea it's going to be an issue. I'm not sure why they don't offer it. Even with an antenna, it says that I'd be getting a feed from Hayes Center and the signal is weak. I have really good internet so that isn't an issue for streaming. Regardless of Nebraska games, I don't wanna miss primetime games and all that. Maybe we will switch to Youtube TV.

We just subscribed to this, and found out that we won't get ABC live streamed. Western Nebraska is a desolate place I guess. How will I be able to watch any college football on ABC if its not live streamed through Hulu in my area? Anyone have this issue as well?

who are you leaving out in the situation of 4 conferences of 16 teams? Notre Dame?

Personally I’d love to play any of the old Big 12 schools on a yearly basis. Minus TxTech, Baylor, and Iowa State. Playing them meant nothing to me. I got a tingle downstairs when the Colorado game came on last year. Imagine the tingle when it’s Oklahoma!

I like it. He will do well

I haven’t been on here in quite some time. My opinion on this is kind of “meh”. Everyone does it. Just don’t get caught. You’re oblivious to kids if you honestly think they are gunna go into their rooms and study all the time like good little boys. This isn’t a big deal and shouldn’t be treated as one

FWIW. As was stated earlier. Playing defense is always tougher when your offense is an up tempo style. I used to love up tempo back when it was becoming new. However, procedures have been added for defenses to slow the pace down due to substitution and or "injury". I seriously look at Oregon. They have dramatically slowed down their pace even though they are still a spread offense, and the defense has improved all the way up to 37th nationally in total defense. Oregon, this season, under Cristobal have consistently ground out 15 play 6 minute drives that give their defense rest. So while tempo can give the offense gaudy numbers, but it also destroys the defensive numbers. If you don't like shoot outs where you have to outscore opponents then you're never going to be happy with Frost. There hasn't been an actual up tempo style team that has had great defense. Also. Tempo does NOT equal "Spread"

Fwiw quick turn around in the penalty dept is possible. Cristobal at Oregon has fixed it there. For years Oregon has been one of the highest penalized teams and that is also true when Frost was there.

In this day and age would Scott Frost survive a 1-11 season with two more losing seasons to follow before the turnaround? I would stick with Frost even if it took 7+ years. I can't speak for anyone else, however.

If you guys honestly think Oklahoma went into that game fired up for ARMY, and VaTech came into a game fired up about a winless OLD DOMINION (who had been beaten by LIberty by 35+) then I don't know how you don't come to the conclusion of what I previously posted. There are a lot of people on here that would then say, it's the coaches fault for not getting the kids fired up. That's BS. With the information available out there and the way kids think of themselves, looking at results of their opponents previous games etc... You don't understand. You can say all you want to a kid about playing with fire, and passion and all that stuff, but REALISTICALLY as the title of this thread says, those kids will think they can just walk all over a group that has struggled. Which in this day and age is FAR AND AWAY less true than it was 20 years ago due to the training these HS kids get all over the country compared to years ago. 85 scholly's yada yada yada. You combine all of that together. That's how you get Army and Old Dominion able to compete or BEAT Oklahoma's and VaTech's

Yes. I think he did.

So, you think that Nebraska is a program that should have underdog mentality and the opponent should treat us as such a terrible program that they come out with no fire against us. ok.

It's going to be hard to recover the season. It likely won't due to these kids last 3 years in the program. They needed to win that Colorado game to get the ball rolling. It's like this in HS and in college. The kids who have been losing, as soon as it gets bad the demeanor turns into that of a whipped puppy. Tails between the legs, etc.... It's literally the worst possible start to the Frost Era and that's not because of 0-3, it's because now the buy in is questioned. These kids don't know anything but how to lose.

I don’t know who ever said that but I’ve never agreed with that statement. That could have been true 10 years ago when the spread started to come into the game

It’s not the play calling. If you think it is-you need more lessons in how football works. the OL is the worst I’ve EVER seen. You can’t put the best skill guys and QB to ever play the game behind our line and succeed. pitiful

I was more intrigued what 44 was doing after 53 gets up. It looks like he may have been twisting an ankle or whatever at the end there. Obviously can't see for sure but I'd assume he was unnecessarily flagrant.

42 mins for Arizona/Houston to finish this game. Roughly

So slow. Bet they don’t move the game. It’ll be ours that starts on espn news or whatever before the move a game in progress

I’ll believe it when I see it
