On the way home, went to the game with my father and sister. This game sucked!!! Pitching was great!!

Waldron was dealing when he came in. The bats were quiet all night

Yeah, our offense was hard to watch. I was sitting behind home plate off to the right in section 116, I had a great view. I am not going to the game tomorrow because I am going to see a concert but I am going to the game on Sunday. I am scared to play Arizona right now with the way that we are batting. I'm afraid that we might get taken behind the wood shed.

I will be at the game tomorrow too, I live about 3 miles away from the ballpark here in Frisco. I am also going to the Sunday game.

Where's the beef?

Iowa hosted him on a visit yesterday. Brilliant move.

I would hate to see some in state talent fall through the crack.

In-home visits can start today. For the love of God, for our talent level, we need to start closing...

Yeah, we better not Whiff on some of these recruits, I do not have a good feeling about how things are going so far, I would like to hear some good news soon. =(

Yeah, we are going to play in a toilet bowl, I could not care less which bowl that we play in at this point. I wish that I would learn to stop being optimistic about these Nebraska football teams.

If we want to keep up our momentum with recruiting and want to take a step forward as a program then we need to win at least 11 games this year and make a quality bowl such as the Orange or Rose bowl. There is no excuse this season to not win at least 10 games minimum, I am not going to be somewhat happy unless we can win at least 11 games. Nebraska's schedule is only going to get harder in years to come, next year is not bad but our 2018-2019 schedule is going to be a B***h.

Nebraska wins 38-24, it is a one score game going into the 4th quarter then we eventually wear them down and get a 2 score lead in the 4th.

 

We might be giving Indiana too much credit, I would not be surprised if we beat them like a drum. Indiana has a Tim Beck type play caller, I hope that they try to run outside against us like they did against Ohio State.

Outside?

 

I noticed that they ran a lot of stretch plays instead of running right at them and they tried some running outside the tackle, Ohio states defense is way too fast to runs plays like that but that is kind of a captain obvious thing for me to say because we all know that.

Only thing that I am concerned about is our offensive line protection. There is going to be a fine line between good Tommy and bad Tommy when we play Ohio state due to him having less time to throw the ball and him having to make fast decisions.

 

I had a horrible dream last night, I was dreaming that we were playing Illinois but this time we lost 12-10. Nebraska was on the cusp of getting into field goal range for a game winning field goal, but Nebraska was still a little out of field goal range. NU went for it on fourth down, Tommy drops back to pass, the right guard gets whooped, right as Tommy unloading the ball he gets hit and the ball flies incomplete, we had a receiver wide open in the flat outside the right hash.

I'll be the weird person.

 

Wisconsin - putting Wisconsin at top, not because they're the best team but because they're good and because...

Ohio State - with OSU we have almost nothing to lose. Everyone thinks OSU will win and psychology is an important factor, imo

Indiana

Maryland

Minnesota

Iowa

Purdue

 

I like your perspective, it actually makes sense. There will be more pressure on the team when we play Wisconsin because that game may make or break the season for us. The Ohio State game is not as big because we will still control our destiny if we get by Wisconsin, we will be playing against Ohio State with nothing to lose.

I do not want to hear "Huskers" and "playoffs" in the same sentence until we are playing for a B1G championship with no more than 1 loss at the hands of Wiscy or tOSU.

 

Notice how I said "dream scenerio" I have been dreaming of great season since I was 11 watching Eric Crouch in 2001, I am now 26 and we have not done anything since then. I am tired of watching old Fiesta bowl and 90's championship games. I would rather beat the crap out of Wisconsin and lost to Ohio State if I has to choose one, we might as well change our colors to pink if we lose. I am so dang tired of losing to Wisconsin!!!! GRRR!!!!!!

Since joining the Big 10.

 

October 1, 2011 Madison, WI #7 Wisconsin 48 #8 Nebraska 17

September 29, 2012 Lincoln, NE #20 Nebraska 30 #23 Wisconsin 27

December 1, 2012 Indianapolis, IN Wisconsin 70 #14 Nebraska 31

November 15, 2014 Madison, WI #22 Wisconsin 59 #11 Nebraska 24

October 10, 2015 Lincoln, NE Wisconsin 23 Nebraska 21

I think that a dream scenario would be going undefeated in regular season, having Michigan beat Ohio State and then beating Michigan for the BIG 10 Championship and going to the playoffs OR going 11-1 in the regular season with the sole loss being to Ohio State then playing them again for a rematch and beating them in the rematch for the BIG 10 Championship and making the playoffs. I just do not see us beating Ohio State 2 times in one season. If we lost to Ohio State and Michigan wins out and we beat them in the BIG 10 championship I think that would be good enough to get us into the playoffs.

Evan Jones Freshman Cornerback

 

Beaker from the Muppets

The condition is (or was as of last year) in their offer letter

 

 

lol "Opportunity to play for one of the nations "elite football programs"....... that's cute.

Conference Championship, I can not believe that we have not won a conference championship since 1999.......

After that huge feel good win over Oregon in Lincoln we take our team on the road for the first time in 2016. Our opponent, the Northwestern Wildcats that can't help but give us fits regardless of how dumpster firey they are.

 

After coming into our house and winning for the 2nd time in 3 tries there is no way we take them lightly. This game won't be close. I'm calling for 52-20 final score that sees plenty of mop up duty and Fitzy making constipated faces on the sideline.

 

We aren't a world beater yet, but we are head and shoulders better than this team and we will see it manifest itself on the field. 4-0 is only a few days away, bookmark it! GBR!

 

I am with you on that, in a thread earlier in the week I predicted a 38-17 game but I do not even think that it will be that close, I like your prediction! I think that this team will run Northwestern into the ground.

 

My biggest fear right now is that next week we'll have a letdown. I've seen it so many times, teams coming off of big-time, emotional wins, losing the following week to a lesser opponent. Let's hope that the team can stay focused and hungry and overwhelm the Wildcats next weekend. GBR!!

I'm encouraged by quotes from the coaches and players after the Oregon win. They were excited and proud, but they also spoke about how it all wouldn't matter if they went out and lost the next game. A loss to Northwestern unravels the accomplishments of beating Oregon.

 

I think, dating back to the Michigan St. game last year, this program has begun to show incredible resilience. They don't let the bad plays overwhelm them. They seem mentally tougher than just about any Nebraska team over the last several years.

 

 

I feel very confident that we will take care of business this year, I think that we will win by at least 2-3 touchdowns. I feel really good about our offense now that we have some sort of identity, I think that we will wear them down with Ozigbo and the offensive line. I do not see Northwestern scoring more than 17 points on us, I think that Northwestern is going to play like they are stuck in the mud, I do not see them having any explosive plays, I see this being a 35-14, 35-17 Nebraska win. This team will remember last year and they will not let up, they will be eager to seek vengeance for last year and get after this team.

I could see Lee Corso picking Northwestern cause Nebraska is playing on grass

 

haha, I kept thinking about that Florida Fiesta bowl title game too when I heard about the grass. haha Nebraska can not play on grass, not going to fair well against the Fun and Gun.

Is Sipple always drunk or does he just talk like that?

Sipple sounds like he is sitting there drinking a couple of bud ice 40s...... LOL

I only watched the game 1 time but I thought that outside of Freedom that our Defensive ends looked pretty slow off the edge.

 

I suppose if we only play tOSU and don't have MSU or Michicken them we should have two P5 schools on the schedule. If the B1G would do us one favor they should rotate MSU OSU and Michigan so that we play 2 of 3 every other year.

 

Here's the 2018 schedule; and by then we'll FINALLY be free of any players who were recruited or coached by Pelini and his staff.

 

9/1 Akron

9/8 Colorado

9/15 Troy

9/22 at Michigan

9/29 Purdue

10/6 at Wisconsin

10/13 at Northwestern

10/20 Minnesota

10/27 OPEN

11/3 at Ohio State

11/10 Illinois

11/17 Michigan State

11/23 at Iowa

 

OH MY GOD! That schedule is brutal, I am not one of those people who are content with 9-3, 9-4 seasons but I think that in 2018 that we might be lucky to only lose 3 games. @Michigan, @ Ohio State @ Wisconsin @ Iowa and Michigan State @ home.

Nice, I need to actually go to some games this year. I go to concerts all year, no excuse to why I can't go to a game other than not being able to get a ticket
