  1. I was yelling at Pelini to bench him. It isn't that Taylor isn't any good. The problem is, he was rattled beyond belief. You've got to get him off the field for a series and tell him to get his sh--t together. We fumble, and we continue to fumble, because there's no accountability for doing it. This is the telling thing for me. Nebraska gets 20 points down, 30 points down, 40 points down, and they change nothing. They run the same offensive plays, they use the same personnel, they use the same schemes. Nebraska didn't try anything different at all. Really, how about getting your backup QB some snaps anyway. You are five touchdowns down, what the hell's the difference?
  2. Baker doesn't help this. This was a complete and total collapse. Baker doesn't make up for getting beat to the perimeter 50 times.
  3. LSU.... great. Someone tell me how we'll keep it under four TDs.
  4. - New defensive coordinator immediately. Or Bo. - Remove Ross Els from special teams immediately and tell him to coach linebackers and only linebackers. - Appoint a special teams coach - FInd the team a psychologist. Or two. Or five.
  5. - If you really are as good as your last game, then we are not good. Not remotely good. - Wisconsin are classless pieces of trash. I'm embarrassed to have spent 50% of my life in that state. A Nebraska man made that program but they will never admit it. - Frankly, 10 wins means nothing. The goal was to get to this game and win it. They failed. Spectacularly failed. - This team needs a psychologist more than it needs anything. They are head cases. All of them. Especially the quarterback. - A staff change must be made, no matter how small or insignificant. This is a program-defining loss. At the very least, Papuchis should be canned tomorrow. Bo should be kept but he needs to be told he's on a very short leash.
  6. We have a team that has a tendency to turn the ball over and give away cheap points, sometimes in groups of twos and threes. As a result, it doesn't take very long for it to snowball into a large deficit quickly. Of course, they've also become rather adept at erasing said deficits nearly as quickly as they happen.... but you can only fall 10-14 points behind so often before it becomes too much. So as long as that potential for disaster exists, then one can never be too comfortable.
  7. Lambeau would be epic, but I'm not sure it is logistically possible... plus there's a good chance this would happen: I say that as a passionate Packer fan who used to live there.
  8. '93 Oklahoma - the coldest by far. Drove out from Wisconsin, spent Thanksgiving with my grandma who was also celebrating her 70th birthday that week. I was 16 and I sat with my cousin in the top row of the southwest balcony. Section 121. This was before the skyboxes, so there was literally nothing behind us except a chain link fence with some sort of red tarp draped over it. It was flapping in the wind hard all day. Went on the field and touched the goal posts, which were GONE. Cold or not cold, that place was ROCKIN'. First time we'd been 11-0 in a decade. I made an ABC sign that said "Another Bone Chiller" one one side which my brother stole from me... they get on TV during the broadcast and Brent Musberger makes at least four or five references to it during the course of the game. The other side had Beavis and Butt-head (it was 1993) burning an OU flag and yelling "FIRE!". Possibly my favorite game of all time out of any I've been to. Honorable mensch: - 96 Colorado game which we won but the entire D got the flu and was gassed vs. Texas - 95 or 97 Iowa State game which had an early morning kickoff and won 77-14 or something ridiculous. - 2010 Kansas night game. Sat under the west balcony with a pillar in front of me and I was annoyed.... until I moved 10 rows down into the open air in the fourth quarter where it swore it was 15 degrees colder.
  9. I'm 35. My first live game was New Mexico St in 1982 and it was a joke. 68-0. Turner Gill was my whole world then, and I still haven't loved a single player more. I got a good dose of Oklahoma heartbreak during the Bosworth-Keith Jackson era and the beginning of the Buffs thing. The title run coincides perfectly with high school and college... they were invincible and to some extent, I felt like I was too. I enrolled at UNL in the fall of '95 and got season tickets to watch the best team ever. And I went to the Tostitos massacre with my old man, which is the still the only bowl trip I've ever made. I've had it very good. During the Clownahan era, I lived in Australia. I had to get up in the middle of the night to listen to radio broadcasts of Warren Swain and Jim Rose describing Texas Tech and Kansas scoring 70+ points on us. My loyalties were definitely tested then. The next NC we win will be the sweetest of all, no doubt.
  10. That was the best team in the nation, but for one game it couldn't get out of its own way. Kinda familiar, really. Should have won that first Texas game anyway. Not just the fumbles but there was some terrible officiating that screwed us in that one too... remember the fat jackass official with the glasses?
  11. What is this board's obsession with all whites? Citrus Bowl, ISU 92, CU 65-51, 7-7... no good!
  12. I'm pretty sure that was filmed in Manhattan and Stillwater. You should check it out it was a good one. I thought that was the Martinez Identity. Man, I get so confused with all these movie names! Maybe, oh well. I can't wait for the Martinez Ultimatum! NC or else!!! That's next year. Senior year.
  13. This year's might have been the most inept CU squad I've ever seen. Maybe two years was enough to make their minds up.
  14. Throwback unis with UCLA/Indianapolis Colt shoulder stripes. Make it happen. Now dig up Chris Schenkel's corpse.
  15. The perfect alternative to Sirius, should that ever be replaced..... Rush. Xanadu. It even sorta sounds the same, but better.
  16. First of all, Wisconsin is the home team, so there's no chance of us wearing anything but a white jersey. Second, If we wear all white, more people are likely to think we are Wisconsin. Wisconsin wears all-white most of the time on the road while Nebraska wears red pants. So it would be silly to wear all-white because the red pants are one thing Nebraska does that Wisconsin doesn't. I have people in my family who openly root for both schools and are confused as hell whenever we play each other (granted, they don't watch a lot of football). If you wanna wear a black helmet, fine, but it would look silly with the white jersey.
