I've said something similar but there are really 2 convos here. Are we wondering if we're a 10-2 or better team or a 7+ win team? IMO, we've been tested enough for me to be confident we're a 7+ win team. I'm more confident than that but I still want to see us play some B1G teams first, based on what you are bringing up. It was nice to see Colorado handle CSU in that at least they were able to win another game. We haven't been tested enough for me to feel confident we'll win 10 games. If we go 7-0 then I'll assume we can beat UCLA, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

Our WR have not been that open on deep balls even against UTEP and UNI.

Maybe we shouldn’t have our starters in… you know, to avoid getting them kicked out of the first half next week.

Did we change our defense too much? I’m a bit worried about B1G offenses.

ya I don’t get the comment. He’s not transferring for $ and even if he would, it’s not like we’re poor.

That was impressive.

Gus Johnson looks a lot like Gus Fring.

I did a quick Google search and we were the first team to ever have a corporate logo on the field. Maybe the last until they get rid of the rule next year

Hopefully it’s not many games

Ugh.

The Troy kickoff return TD potentially happened because the Iowa guy didn’t fight for that first down because he was worried about the clock that they didn’t even end up using.

I don’t blame players too much yet for not thinking about the 2 minute warning. But on 2nd down with around 2:15 left, Iowa’s receiver caught the ball 2 yards short of the 1st down marker and ran to get out of bounds instead of trying for the 1st down, and it looked like he had a chance. It was 1 on 1. Then they let the clock run to 2 minutes anyway. There was no reason for him to rush out of bounds instead of trying to get the 1st down if they weren’t going to use the extra secs he gained from doing it. I think with a boring a$$ team like Iowa, it should be required that they are at least smart with the details. Or with a coach who has been doing it for that long.

Announcers, please stop calling players long, and saying such and such just had a quick blow. It distracts me from the game.

Iowa looks like dogs#!t so far today. Just got stuffed on 4th and 1 against the vaunted Troy defense.

Iowa is the closest thing in the B1G we have to a rival. They don’t *feel* like a rival to me, but then neither does any other team. I was a pre teen and teen when we were beating everyone, and Oklahoma sucked at the time. To me it was more about which teams’ fans/players seemed the most annoying. That was Missouri, KSU, and Colorado. They were not actually a threat to beat us. We did have that annoying Iowa fan that accused Nebraska of not doing the corny wave thing (yes it is corny), so that helped a little. But the problem with Iowa is they’ve owned us. We need to start winning more. Close games are good for a rivalry but when you’re 3-8 going into the game it just doesn’t mean much. What will make it feel more like a rivalry is when Nebraska has a good record, starts to win > 40% of the time (I’m drinking the kool aid so I think it’ll be a lot more), and when we start keeping each other out of important games. I think maybe we kept Iowa out of the B1G championship 2 years ago (maybe?). They kept us out of a bowl game last year but we had already lost 4 games in a row. And even with how horribly we’ve sucked, I still don’t feel a bowl game is a big enough game for me to hate Iowa for keeping us out of it. I just want us to start a win streak against them before Ferentz retires. I do like the game and it’s my favorite conference game we have, and I’m glad the dumb a$$ idea to move it off of Good Friday was stopped.

Come on BC. Been a fan since they beat ND for us in ‘93.

"Dementors Nebraska football"

I used an AI image generator and typed in Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Fighting Illini and I think I'll have nightmares tonight.

I think the best comparisons early in the season are comparisons between the same team this season vs. last season. That's why I think it's clear Nebraska is a lot better; we flipped the Colorado game. It's not because I think Colorado is good, it's because I think Colorado is about the same as last year, and therefore we're not. Illinois did the same thing with KU. Illinois lost to KU last year. Maybe KU is worse now, but UNLV isn't an awful team and they only lost to KU by 13 points 9 months ago (49-36). That said, I don't think Illinois is much better than last year, and the game is at home this year. I'm less concerned with them than I am Purdue and Indiana since they're away games.

My mom literally made this comment to me a few hours ago when I visited her. She hasn't seen any in her area and she had 4 years ago. In fact her one neighbor had one in her window until well into 2021 before finally taking it down, and she doesn't have any signs up in her yard or windows.

Have you questioned why they only went back to 2019? I assume not. It was 23.2 in 2018. And overall the differences now are negligible. There was a dip during the pandemic, then things went back slightly above normal and came down last year. These are rates, so leaving December off may not have much of an impact.

They must have missed some words there. I assume they meant to say “since…”
