Still too early. This weekend could be the difference between a BCS Bowl and the Insight Bowl

Cancelled class bump!

Picked up some of this Cutthroat Porter at Woehlner's while in Omaha for the weekend. It was EXCELLENT.

I ordinarily at least browse these predictions, but anyone who makes a prediction for this game is just foolish. This is one of the biggest scandals ever in sports, there is NO WAY anyone could predict how the PSU players are going to react. Too unprecedented.

Leinenkugel Fireside Nut Brown is finally back!!!

Not sure if it's worth getting our panties in a bunch over, he does this every week. Although I really do hate Mark Schlabach. That's why I don't read his crap.

That testimony PDF was absolutely disturbing. Oh my lord.

My god.

There was a players only meeting held in the last 48(?) hours. Sounds like Paterno is on his way out, I feel terrible for these players. They had a good season going and it's probably going to hell in a hand basket because of this. This weekend is going to be weird.

The "fire Bo" squad all seem to gravitate toward the fact that losing to a far lesser team is becoming a trend. You can say that, but it's only been 4 years. A MNC wasn't going to come overnight. I think this squad simply thinks Bo can't change that trend that we'll underwhelm at least once a year.

But remember "fire Bo" squad, losing to the big opponents was a trend not to long ago under Bo. I had faith that NU was on the upswing under Bo, but their were times in his first years when I knew we wouldn't have a chance against great opponents. He's changed that trend. Missouri last year, OSU and MSU this year to name the ones that come to mind. MU and MSU were top-10 wins, and OSU is going to end up possibly being our win of the year.

Competing in big games is one thing - and a trend we have bucked - but overlooking teams and underwhelming is a mental thing that is just taking longer for Bo and his staff to work out.

If we should lose...

I think the ground game today will be a nice preview of what it'll be like next year. DOMINANCE

Under, Persa and Colter can move around pretty good.

 

O/U Martinez 150 passing yards

Barely under

O/U - 200 passing yards for NW?

Dirk has to write 4 columns per week. Column meaning opinion piece. If you don't like his opinion, try not reading it. I don't think he did anything remotely inflammatory in this one.

I thought this was going to be a roll-call thread. Imagine my disappointment :/

Baseball players should be tested for steroids. Rex Burkhead should be tested for radioactivity.

Rex Burkhead is ranked higher than Nebraska in the AP poll

The Heisman holds little validity in my eyes anymore, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Suh not winning in 09 was the nail in the coffin for me, I could care less whether Rex gets Heisman buzz or not.

He's a Northwestern LOLcat

I want Penn St, with their nice, slow pocket passer McGloin

Pat Fitzgerald

Josh McDaniels

Did anyone count the total TD-INT ratio? I'm far too tired for such a task

 

 

11-35, if my quick math was right.

Damn. That's impressive.

12-2 is pretty sexy....but the again 11-2 with a BCS win is pretty sexy as well. BCS victory momentum going into the offseason would be better than 12-2 with a Capital Bowl win, IMO

very true. i like the B1G part for conference pride and to make a name for us early, but the bcs is all about national attention and becoming nationally relevant.

The question I have, is if we do lose to Michigan or Penn St, can we climb back into the top 14 by the end of the season to stay BCS eligible? Late losses are of course worse. It'll be interesting too to see what MU goes on to do if they do beat us.
