Hey, where is Matt Flynn these days?

This bums me out. Rodgers is a phenomenal player. I hope he bounces back.

I bet Favre is throwing passes to 3rd graders as we speak.

Hopefully not pics thought Dude.

Long overdue, you've got one of the best QB's to ever play this game and you can't put the team together around him? Several in the front office should be sent packing as well! 

When I posted it, it still said "NO"
 

Puts more pressure on Rodgers.  No more excuses now.

They now have vanilla bean ice cream.  I can't taste the difference with normal vanilla ice cream.

No politics in the updates!

You know what I mean

Perhaps I should have said "as an excuse for sucking" but I think I already lost that argument anyway. I'm just kinda over it.

I'd support college football adopting NFL timing rules, particularly with the sheer amount of passing that happens. I was watching the game with a couple of buddies and from 8:41 p.m. to 8:53 p.m., the game clock went from ~7:10 down to ~5:45. No commercials or anything. Just legitimate on-air time because of clock stops, injuries, reviews, etc.

I think the games are getting to be too long.

I actually turned it off. It was the middle of the day here and I just didn't find myself being compelled by anything, let alone the 25 minutes of commercials per hour.

This game is so far removed from the regular season and traditional bowl slots now that it just feels like an afterthought. 

I agree with that, too. Not seeing either of those teams for four weeks, having them play a semifinal, and then not seeing them again for another two weeks is just silly.

Ouch? What would be an acceptable line that wouldn’t hurt?

And don’t we have to play the game regardless what the line is and won’t the result be what it’s going to be?

I still remember when Miami led 5-0. Oh the good old days.

One of my top 3 favorite bands ever.  Probably best live band ever.  

@Enhance I thought about that for a bit yesterday, too.  It looked like the guy sat down next to a man that looked like he could be his dad.  Maybe this was a way to have a souvenir to remember a special day.  

But then I thought if it were my dad and me.  I would give the kid the ball and have a cool conversation with my dad about the special things in life.   My point: if we're going to go "there", the man is is still an Iowa fan, and still a douche. 

@JJ Husker I'm not debating the 'right' thing to do, as I already acknowledged it. I'm mostly questioning the reaction. I don't see the reason or logic behind completely losing one's mind and publicly shaming this guy, or calling him some pretty bad names, and there's been a lot of that. You would've thought he punched the kid in the face and said something bad about his mother based on how some people are treating it.

I also don't really see where he 'stole' it or took it from the kid. They both went for it at the same time. The older guy got it. Again, yeah, it's sort of lame to compete against a kid for that, but some people are going totally overboard about it IMO.

I guess I don't see the problem with the guy taking some abuse for it. He did the wrong thing and now he's paying for it. Granted I haven't specifically seen the things being said about him. Maybe there is some overreaction but that's why you shouldn't be a douche, in public anyway.

Besides that....Iowa 

Ohio State is on our side, at least. 

ESPN is giddily ripping on Nebraska. Rittenberg, Wilbon, Howard, all letting it fly.

Here's how they reacted to Frost's statement:

Here's how they reacted to Day's statement:

What is this team in Alabama’s uniforms?  

I wonder if Saban will shake Dabo’s hand? 

Why isn't he showing up on the front page banner any more?  

It's a southern hemisphere thing. He is on the back page banner. 

Oh well played.

Maybe 5-1 doesn't happen without starting 0-6.

Almost. I'm still gonna be upset about (almost assuredly) not going to a bowl.

The bowl practices would have been nice, but I think the team is ready for a break.  They will have played 12 straight weeks, with a lot of emotional swings during the season.  Plus, this allows Frost and staff to go out and recruit like heck.

I can't bring myself to root for the Bengals, even with Zac. Such a poorly run franchise. I live amongst Bengals fans in SW Ohio, and I pity them all!

Very racist of them, I hear.

Zac has shot through the NFL ranks pretty quickly. He deserves a shot, but a lot of success in the pro game, whether as player or coach, is fit. 

Bad organization makes for a bad fit.

@Decoy73:  Trevor Robinson from 10 or 12 years ago.  Went to Notre Dame and played three or four years in the NFL.  (Edit:  But I guess you said skill position.  Trevor Robinson was a OG in college and center in the NFL.)

Not a skill player, but Harrison Phillips was great at Stanford and is now at the Buffalo Bills.  Among skill players, Xavier Watts from Burke was another skill player which NU has lost out on, but it's too early to tell how good he will be at Notre Dame.

Jaylin Bradley was an Omaha-area recruit who I thought would be good at Nebraska, but his career never panned out.

I should point out I don't fault any of them at all. It's an indictment on us, I think.

Not that it wasn't good but we did have a penalty. One.

We also had one on the PAT that got blocked and scored. They called it illegal touching or something like that because we would have had a 2 point conversion. The other was an unsportsmanlike penalty, that is as good as you can in regards to us and penalties the last few years. 

Well, at least the coaching staff didn't get penalized.  :shrug: 

The ‘82 PSU game was the worst NC stealing fraud of all time.

@4skers89, I'm going to have to say the 5th down for CU was far and away the worst NC theft of all time.

IIRC the 5th down was suspicious but probably an honest mistake. PSU’s home cooked refs were a systematic fraud and therefore more egregious in my mind.

@CheeseHuskerWere u golfin at Holyoke? If so, whats chance i can get on the course? Any help?

It was good to see.  The Huskers didn't wet the bed this time.

Hey, Riley was fired slightly over 12 months ago.

12.5 months?
