Ziebol

I'd be okay until I read all the bad excuse-making on Huskerboard, then I'd like

I would really be bummed out.  It would really, suck and I try not to think about it bc I know it is very possible.  I keep using the excuse of "well, we have a difficult road ahead of us".  Then I realize the difficult road is Minny, Iowa, and Wisconsin.  All teams that we should be able to beat regularly.  Wouldnt change my level of fandom, it would just really suck to see Frost miss bowl games his first 3 season as our Head Coach. Luckily, I coach football and our team has been really good the past few years, so that helps drown the sorrow of Husker Football in the fall.  

I guess it would depend on the nature of the losing season.  If *knock on wood*....*knocks on wood again* NU gets clobbered by the injury bug to key positions than there really isn't much you can do.  If it's due to absurd dumb stuff, that would certainly be more frustrating.  I've been betting on sports for so long that it takes a near catastrophic event for me to really get slightly annoyed.  I watch Nebraska because I want them to do well and people are in a better mood when the team is good.  The day I let what an 18-22 year old does on an athletic field affect my day that isn't my kid is the day I stop watching.

My wife, son and I will be making the trip from Colorado. Still need one more ticket. Probably will pregame at the Railyard.

For anyone wondering what Ziebol is on about. Basically, Urban knew more than he led on about the recent domestic abuse allegations involving the former Ohio St WR coach.

I am not surprised that Urban was lying about his knowledge of this situation. Urban has a deep familiarity with that family and obviously employed and worked closely with the accused @sshat.

"Hoosier Daddy!"

But if they lose at home to Indiana...it will be a mess and the boo-birds will be out.

@teachercd ESPN has us only a 50.9% chance to win. I am taking Indiana all day.

I don’t think that would make things noticeably worse. There can’t be many left expecting much of anything for the remainder of this season. We know Wisconsin and Iowa are taking us behind the woodshed and to have any shot at the other 3 we are going to have to play much better and cleaner than we have all season. Maybe it’s just me but any win from here on out is a bonus and any loss would not be surprising at all.

Why do you need my SSN, DOB, and my mother's maiden name?! 

I kid!  

How many participants do you have?

really every year ever

Fits right in with me being a Cubs fan.

Yeah same here. I just hope we have a competent QB that can balance out the offense so teams just don't load the box.

@Ziebol there is a new Johnny football coming to town, and Tommy has gotten a year under his belt. Should be ok

Si. But with a looming QB battle we can't say for certain who will be starting.

Got the split, and now we're going home. Certainly feeling better than I was 24 hours ago.

Yeah and them playing Ortiz in the field instead of Napoli and no DH is going to be huge for us.

Did you see our schedule this year?

What about it WA? What does that have to do with the original status?

Zeibol, definitely an easy schedule with the exception of LSU. Iowa loses a TON of defensive talent this year, and the only other team who I see can defeat them, would be us.

Probably mine, sd'sker. I made a negative thread once.

I'm not saying that a recruiting class rank isn't his fault however you can only do so much if kids can't qualify

It's all Faux Pelini's fault. Because he kept that damn cat.

I think we lose RG44 to the first round in the nfl draft.

I really hope RG44 follows Ameer's example and stays for his senior year.

^ that'd be asking a lot...haha.

Need a little defense here. 3 outs away.

Another big double play! Ball game boys Birds 3-1.

Feeling good about things, but my 30 years as a fan has taught me that 3-1 leads are never safe.

No one at Nebraska, other than the head coach, seems to run their mouth anymore...and maybe that's a bit of the problem.

"Running their mouths." C'mon, man. Cheer up, its the season.

All i'm saying is that championship teams have guys that talk like this.

I'd be a little less worried if it weren't for all these damn injuries.

As I was killing time before work I had the BIG Ten Network on. Michigan ran a very traditional offense against PSU and they were very predictable. I'm more worried about NW because they run an offense that has given us more fits in the past.

NW might be without Kain Colter for a bit? That's what I heard anyway....

agreed

agreed

agreed--thought it was boring.

Oh no you didnt?

Yeah stay away from the new Nacho wrap thing, its deadly.
