  1. I don't think there is a make or break year. If Bo doesn't have anymore hidden audio tapes laying around, continues to win above 70% & runs a clean program. There is not a lot you can do without looking foolish. This is the exact attitude that will prevent us from winning a championship. We were so abused during the Callahan years that we're just happy not to completely suck under Pelini. Content not to suck does not an elite program make. Yoda had no faith in Luke Skywalker, either.
  2. I missed my calling. Who would've thought that predicting college football games weeks before a spring game, 6+ months before the season starts, with absolutely NO idea who might get injured, who might pan out, who might quit the team, etc....could turn into such a lucrative business. I wonder how many weather forecasters are jealous of these guys.
  3. Wow, you hit a lot of my faves knapplc. Do you remember When Simon & Simon was on Magnum PI? I think Magnum was also on Simon & Simon, but I never saw it.
  4. Serious question? Why do you (and many) feel that in order to have the opinion landlord does, he also needs to provide a name - and not only any name but one that can guarantee 11 win seasons (which not even Saban could do). That person doesn't exist. But we know 100% that Bo can't guarentee it. So if you can't give me a name of someone on the current staff that can guarantee it, then I think it's time we changed staffs. It's fine to be happy with the current 4 losses and think that Bo can improve - but all you are giving is some vague argument why no one else could possibly be better. I bet a coach that lost 7 straight bowl games wouldn't 'guarentee' anything either. That's the funny thing about coaching young men playing a somewhat unpredictable game in a parity-laced world. You're really rolling the dice if you think you know what could happen week by week.
  5. It IS but since there's about 8 million threads on this, and will probably be millions more to come, it is obvious that it's never going to stop until either Bo is fired, Bo quits, or Bo wins a championship (and in that case, people will start creating threads that Bo didn't win the title game by enough points.) Then if he doesn't get to the title game the following year it's time to fire him again. It goes on and on and on...
  6. So North Carolina has 5 wins against #1, #3, #5, #8, and #11. Wichita State hasn't even PLAYED a ranked team. One is unranked, the other is currently #3. I don't know.

      I'm hoping Wichita is the first 1-16 upset

      Let's take a look at the two teams losses then, shall we?

      Wichita won at #10 St. Louis in December, they were un-ranked at the time but still a good win.

  7. Such an awful situation. The Ukraine and Belarus are in really bad positions with the influence from the east hovering over them (although Lukashenko is little more than a Russian puppet anyway). I don't know if I see this ending well. Edit: I wonder if Russia is just biding their time on this until the Olympics is over, and then the stuff really hits the fan.
  8. Somehow I'm guessing he won't play on Sunday, but much better than something serious, if that's the case.
  9. Why the hell does this injury sh*t ALWAYS HAPPEN TO NEBRASKA?!?!?! So sick of it. Hope it's just a bruise, but with Nebraska's luck he's probably a paraplegic now, he'll sneeze on Petteway and Petteway will catch pneumonia or something and be done for the year.
  10. These refs are batsh*t crazy. Shouldn't have been technicals on either player
  11. I love how the team was heading to the locker room, and Petteway turned around, went back and met the 5 coming off the court and congratulated his teammates. What a leader.
  12. There is no reason this game should be close, other than idiotic refs. I wouldn't want to snap a rubber band on Miles' forehead right now. He looks pissed.
  13. I jinxed Ray, he's went back to his last game's performance.
  14. Are these refs getting paid off? Or are they just really, really stupid?
  15. Is it wrong that I wish Petteway never scored another point this season but NU still made the tourney? selfishly looking at a 2014-15 season WITH Petteway.
  16. Apparently the Huskers need to learn how to randomly fall down so they can get foul calls.
  17. Other than the missed FT...where was this Ray last week?
