dang...i think Badgerfan is angry.

We have been going through the process of selecting a college for our HS senior son. Wisconsin was one of the schools we were looking at. It's off our list now. It is apparent wiscy is not properly helping to develop well rounded people. Hopefully you get a handle on dealing with your problems.

 

 

You just denied your son a shot at success...

 

Out of all institutions of higher learning in our nation UW ranks fourth in alumni serving as CEO's of Fortune 500 companies beat only by Harvard, Columbia and UPenn and topping schools like Cornell and Princeton. Nebraska failed to make the list.

 

Wisconsin is also fifth in the nation when counting graduates serving in Congress.

 

UW consistently ranks among the top public universities in the nation and is frequently ranked among the best research institutions in the world.

 

Lets break it down...

Wisconsin has won the last 2 games in the series. Opponents are both 3-3 in series.

 

 

UW Alumni include Stephen E. Ambrose, Frederick Jackson Turner, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Charles Lindbergh among others.

UNL- Severely lacking though John Pershing and Warren Buffet stand out.

 

UW is the better overall school and Madison is the better overall town. UNL used to be good in football but so did Pitt and Minnesota. We live in a "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately" world.

 

I'd take UW any damn day of the week.

aren't you being a bit out of line when you say that he has "denied his son a chance at success"? while it may be true that wisconsin is considered the "better" school, i am quite sure that there are many success stories out of lincoln or any other school that he sends his son to. turning down wisconsin is not a kiss of death for success.

also....not so sure that boasting about graduates who are members of congress is really such a good thing. they can't even balance the nations checkbook.

It has to make Taylor feel good that his teammates have his back and are not dogging him also. I think this whole situation will make the team closer and focus more. They all talk about being family, this is showing it.

and it has to make taylor feel bad that husker fans don't have his back and are dogging him. . kind of hard to keep going for the fans when you know they stop supporting you if you lose.

I'm actually a bit surprised this came from an OU player. I would have expected this kind of tweet coming from a Texas player.

i agree, what is OU bitter about?

OU is bitter that there are no more life boats left on the titantic (Big 12) and they are still there.

it's over texas. we've moved on to better things. let it go.

i think this thread took a big turn for the worse

the leg of a chair to the eyesockets is a dead giveaway that it is a troll.

THIS ISN'T NICE!! STOP READING NOW IF YOU WANT SUGAR AND SWEETNESS;

Thanks to the two Husker fans wearing Black colored sweat shirts who came to my wife's resuce in the restaurant in Madison yesterday when she was accosted and then assaulted by 3 drunken Pig Badger fans (is there any other kind?). I hope you read this board, as I know no other way to express my gratitude. It takes real tough guys to wait til I went to the rest room and then confront a middle age female trying to eat her meal and minding her own business, and attempt to tear off her Huker Sweatshirt. When she told them to get their f@#$&*g hands off her one grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up and slammed her back and head against the wall. It was at that point you guys intervened and man oh man, did you. Those guys faces are both seriously scarred and disfigured. It'll take major plastic surgery for them to look anything close to normal; otherwse, they'll spend their lives working the carnival circuit in the freak shows. I added to your work and inflicted some more damage to 2 of their heads and bodies. Hopefully, they'll be blind, and suffer from brain damage and internal bleeding along with your contributions.

 

I owe you guys big time and hope to find you so that I can express my gratitude personally. For the record--before the Manager rushed me out of there to avoid the Cops I asked him to shred you check so there'd be no record of who you are. He did this but without first taking your name and address for me. So your dinner and drinks are on me. Credit the debit in your checkbook. You also have a standing dinner for 4 (anything on the menu plus as many drinks as you and your guests can handle) whenever you want it. Ask for the Manager--he's the one who hustled you guys out via the service elevator to avoid the Cops (We made it out thru the kitchen). He and the family that owns the place are close friends of mine and they'll take care of you. If you want a friend for life you have one If you want to remain unknown to me that's up to you but I hope you guys can at least get that dinner, and more if you want it.

Also, the Badger Pukes somehow got off the floor and out of there seconds before the Cops came in so there was no report taken, though they did comment on the large amount of blood on the carpet. All things considered, I guess I'm thankful for the "Wild West" solution. I could have stayed and had them arrested, testified against them, and then sued them. But in this nitwit society in which we live you and I could have wound up being arrested and possibly sued too.

I don't usually condone this type of thing but when someone touches (let alone smashes) my wife There is no civilized response in my book. Lucky for them I didn't have a gun because I definitely would have used it (lucky for me too, I guess). My wife has a congenital back problem and could have wound up in a wheel chair. Fortunately she's OK. I took her to Urgent Care last night but she checks out fine. She was badly shaken though, and still is today.

So fellas, thanks for standing up and not just attempting to reason with these Red & White C@#$S*&$#@s, but doing something that saved an innocent person serious injiury. I'm indebted to you guys forever. I'm spending my Sunday fantasizing about hundreds upon hundreds of drunken Badger slob fans (is there any other kind?) flipping their cars and leaving their Red & White brains all over the freeways (their side of the border, of course). I may come away from that thought in a few days, but not yet!! My last thought on Badger fans are of the 2 other couples in the restaurant who were not with the perpetrators but made no effort to reign them in while there was still time. After I returned and was driving the leg of a chair into one of the eye sockets of one your victims a Badger bystander (the one who called the Cops on a cell phone) screamed at me "it's not fair what you're doing". Didn't have the time to deal with him but wish I could have. It'll be a long time before anybody involved forgets about this incident. Thanks guys for rescuing my beloved. Nothing more to say than if you ever need me, here I am. If you want to contact me go thru the restaurant, not here.

lol.....i am sure i've heard this urban legend before. you are obviously trolling.

we are 4-1 and favored to win again next week.

I had a Badger fan walk up to me, pull the cigarette out of his mouth, and blow the smoke in my face...

he was probably flirting with you.

playoffs? p-p-p-playoffs?

nebraska was in the top 5 from 1883-1994? wow. didn't realize how good TO was. and.... guess we dropped out for a week or 2 before the championship run?

huskers steal W from isconsin

i still haven't seen a replay of this kick....can anyone link me so i can see it? i know it doesn't really matter anymore...but i would still like to see it.

i mentioned this in a different thread, but the team won't learn to finish games unless Bo lets them, and the washington game we somehow turned into a shootout by playing our 2-minutes-remaining-gameplan with 15 left and tonight Bo says no to a touchdown for a 5th string RB. Killer instinct, and we don't have it.

 

Bingo. This has been a source of our problems, P*** Poor Attitude. You could tell it sent the wrong message to the team last night. Alot of the players were really upset. I hope Jones gets a chance at redemption he deserved that score more than anybody else. Bo should let him rotate in for Burkhead in the next couple of games and let him have his dues.

i really can't believe that our guys were "really upset" that we didn't run up the score.

i think that it is fair to say that wisconsin has looked better so far this season and should be considered the favorite to win this game. what label does that earn me?

 

Sure looked helmet to helmet to me especially at full screen....

looks like there may also be a punch right after the helmet to helmet

there are 42 names on the list.....that doesnt narrow the field down very much.

isn't it sad that someone has to come here and ask husker fans for some respect for our opponent? that used to be a giuven from us. now there are people scoffing at the idea of respecting washington. maybe it is time to take down those signs at memorial stadium....they no longer refer to us.

shut up dude.....i'm so sick that every time nebraska fans stand up for themselves someone has to come in and spew this bullsh#t. Of course we respect washington fans and what not but this match up really sucks and you know it. The last thing we want is people trying to sugar coat it for us.

wow...not sure if you are refuting me or trying to prove me right.

I'm still confused as to why the Rose bowl took TCU even though stanford was eligible and the rose has a pac 10 tie in...are these tie ins only flexible for BCS games? If not then why couldn't the holiday skip on washington and take another bowl eligible team? Just food for thought.

The Rose had to take TCU....something in the BCS about having to take a non AQ if the pac 10 champ got into the National championship game instead of the rose. since oregon is playing in the title game that forced the rose to take TCU.

no reason to decline the bowl....why would we pass up an extra month of practices and getting players more prepared for next year? and what difference is it that it is a low bowl game this year? we are not in the title game or getting any money from it anyway....the big 12 is keeping it all the cash anyway so why not let them keep the lowest amount of cash possible?

i wonder what Jake Locker is thinking right now?

How about we can the Big East team and play this game again in the Fiesta Bowl?

great idea.....i dont think anyone but uconn fans want to see that matchup.....nebraska vs oklahoma again would get much better ratings.

was that in the comics section or on the sports page?

Nebraska Cornhuskers (10-2)

Nothing would satisfy the people in red more than watching Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe hand a trophy to coach Bo Pelini and athletic director Tom Osborne on Saturday. Or maybe Pelini and Osborne should just celebrate with the team in the locker room and leave a note on the podium. "Dear Dan, Please ship the trophy to the following address: Big Ten Headquarters, 1500 West Higgins Road, Park Ridge, IL 60068. Hugs and kisses, Bo and Tom."

Last game: Beat Colorado, 45-17

Next game: Saturday vs. Oklahoma in Big 12 Championship Game
