  1. our passing game looks better than i thought it was. the qb's put the ball where our guys could catch it against a great texas secondary.....unfortunately no one in red would catch the passes.
  2. grats on winning the bragging rights over us forever.
  3. when was this picture taken? i am guessing late in the 4th quarter?
  4. ehh.....i think oklahoma was impressive enough in thier win agaiunst texas to jump over us. not a big deal really. still plenty of season left to figure out where everyone belongs. if we take care of business we will be up there in the top 5. if we lose we will drop a lot. just the way college football rankings go.
  5. if we take care of business we will look good enough
  6. I see your . Allow me to contribute. :facepalm: :facepalm:
  7. This is such a load of crap it's hard to believe anyone buys it. So you think the $200K was just too much for Nebraska to bear? Psh. Now that's hard to buy. Everything in my post is pretty well documented if you're willing to look at sources outside the OWH. If not, you're free to keep naively believing that Boise is somehow terrified to play us, or greedy for wanting one-fifth of Nebraska's revenue for a game. you're telling us ESPN said they were going to pay the $200k difference and boise didnt accept the offer instantly? not that's hard to buy.
  8. dang.....what is in the blue koolaid? This is the perfect storm and a fascinating year because we are now viewed as the team that symbolizes revolutionary change. Any protected establishment fears revolutionaries. Fear them enough to kill. HIstory is certainly witness to this. The fact that we are receiving exponentially more hatred & rhetorical rage than when we were the lovable underdog -- should not come as a big surprise. Alabama, Ohio State and Nebraska are not only 3 of the best CFB teams -- they also have 3 of the largest fan bases -- and they all want the Crystal trophy. The NC game is their Super Bowl and they do not want little Boise State anywhere near it. And yes, right now they hate us because we are agents of change. It is not personal -- it is the threat that we now represent. A threat to their sacred Crystal Football. This threat is more real with the Va Tech and Oregon State victories paired with ESPN Game Day, The SI cover this week, etc. They were banking on a Boise State loss to Va Tech in DC. I don't think they really believed it would go this far. But here we are. Now Boise State is an imminent threat to shatter a comfortable world that has been around much longer than the BCS. To the SEC we are Abraham Lincoln, Bobby Kennedy and MLK all rolled into one...so get used to the hatred. It is not going away if we keep winning impressively. We are the threat. All other threats have been or are being dealth with. The establishment is buying off Utah and TCU. BYU is going it alone, trying to follow Notre Dame. Yet, because we are still a little too small -- so the BCS star chamber can't really buy us out right now -- so they must find a way to take us down a couple notches. None of this is happening by mistake. These moves are being carefully ochestrated. For example, it is no mistake that TCU was approached by the Big East as opposed to the Big12. Why? Because the BCS kills 2 birds with one stone: 1. Get TCU out of the picture 2. Shore up a dreadful Big East. The media is kind of our only friend right now. Yet, they too will turn on a dime if we stumble in the least. Good theatre for sure.
  9. really? i thought boise wanted $1mil and we only would pay $800k so they declined.
  10. if nebraska ends up being the undefeated big 12 champ....i don't know that our SOS is that much stronger than BSU's....would we get in ahead of BSU? i don't think so.
  11. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/stewart_mandel/09/30/boise-state-nebraska-schedules/#ixzz112TxPgIq "So far, No. 3 Boise State has beaten two ranked foes (Virginia Tech and Oregon State). If No. 25 Nevada continues its torrid play over the next two months, the Broncos could well face a third ranked team on Nov. 26. Meanwhile, the sixth-ranked Huskers could feasibly end up playing ... none. So far, No. 3 Boise State has beaten two ranked foes (Virginia Tech and Oregon State).

  12. as irrelevent as this game is to us and everyone around the country....it is the biggest game for south dakota state in about forever. dont think they are not excited to be here. we will get their best effort.
  13. the guy on the right....his eyes look like he had about 10 too many cups of coffee
  14. what are the chances this isn't over yet? according to the article the deal is.... "subject to final approval from the member institutions’ respective governing boards."
  15. Boise and TCU also look to finish undefeated
  16. if he really knows anything about sports he probably is pizzed at Nebraska for the AD we sent to pittsburgh.
  17. prayers and best wishes for the cosgroves
  18. fwiw....i am suprised that Oklahoma isnt ranked ahead of us also. they look better than we do right now IMO.
  19. what is it about nebraska always giving up last second scores?
  20. hopefully they are just rumors. but prayers to bill and his family if true.
