Really? You wouldn't trade 5-6, 8-4, 9-5, 5-7, 9-4, 10-4, 10-4, 9-4, 10-4, 9-4, 9-4, 6-7 with no top 10 finishes, no major bowl appearances, no major bowl wins, no conference championships, and no national championships, for 8-4, 10-2, 12-1, 11-2, 10-3, 11-2, 12-1, 6-7, 12-0, 12-2, 14-1, 12-1 with 9 top 10 finishes, 7 major bowl appearances, 5 major bowl wins, 5 conference championships, 3 national championship appearances and 1 national championship? Is that what I said? I said I wouldn't trade our achievements for theirs. I didn't say I wouldn't trade the past 13 years. Did the two teams come into being in 2003? OSU has never had a run like the one we had, which I lived through and was cognizant of. So of course I wouldn't trade our achievements for theirs. I hate to defend tOSU here, but yes they have and currently are. Their last 15 years are very comparable to our run, and honestly, I think they would have went undefeated in 2012. But regardless.. I don't agree with that. National championships matter. Almost doesn't count. They've had 2 in that span, and one of those was with a loss. Alabama has had a run like ours (and arguably better). OSU has not, yet. If in 5 years they've won 1-2 more NC then there's an argument. I wouldn't trade our achievements for theirs. Their achievements in the recent are what is going to keep them atop of where NU wants to be. You can keep sticking to your guns but again. OSU is the superior program. More national titles, higher winning percentage overall. There's really no argument about "achievement". NU has more WINS, but has a 40 games played lead on OSU. OSU > NU OSU also has a coach that every kid would at least give some thought about playing for because of his name alone. NU doesn't. OSU is in a hotbed for recruiting. NU isn't. It's not that it isn't close, but c'mon you're acting like OSU has nothing on NU when it's actually the other way around. This has nothing to do with Oregon so lets not deflect either. You're not talking about the same thing Moraine is. How am I not? OSU achievements are > NU's Nebraska has more conference titles, and more legitimate (aka not tied garbage in the 40's) national titles. They've had more recent success (alot of it due to dominating a crap B1G), but that doesn't make them better overall. If you go over the entire program histories, they're roughly on par with no distinct gap.Thank you. Not sure why I've needed to explain this 3 times now. I've already explained I'd trade the last 13 years but not the programs' overall history. I think age might be a big factor here. Landlord and Coach are both under 30. So the fact Ohio State did nothing nationally from 1980-2000 and Nebraska won 3 national championships doesn't count for either program because they were barely alive.

The problem with them is they look like Miami.

They spelled her name wrong

It's not that amazing when you think about it. Just do the math. Most people who said they wanted 8-4 or 9-3 or they would be disappointed were assuming Oregon was one of those 3-4 losses. Now, since Oregon wasn't a loss, those predictions automatically change to 9-3 and 10-2. If we win a game I expected us to lose, then going forward I expect us to win one more game than I originally expected. It's just logical, not amazing.

Clinton did Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis http://FunnyOrDie.com/m/an29?_ccid=dc59e744-fca6-4312-804e-a3bb97c6164d&_cc=__dbbl

Ohio State has superior recruiting but it's netted them 1 undefeated national championship season in my lifetime. I wouldn't trade our achievements for theirs. I also don't care what someone from their stuck up fanbase says. We aren't back, whatever that means, but I don't care about their opinion.

My Thoughts? Yeah, we're not back. Can't compare winning 3 games (or even going undefeated this season) as being back. Iowa went undefeated last year in the regular season... They still are most irrelevant. We're not back. After a decade of 90% participation in the CCG and 4-5 dates added to memorial stadium under Conference champions and a one or two national titles, then we are back. But we're winning. So that's nice (Y) I find the bolded part a bit comical. First of all, Ohio State is just one heart murmur away from what is now Florida football. Second, I read an article the other day from a Sooner beat writer who asked how OU with their three and four star recruits were expected to compete with Ohio State and their four and five star recruits. Considering Notre Dame is 1-2, yeah it will be difficult to achieve their success. Ya. He picked some weird teams as examples.

Oh good. A Trump is talking about a "statistical thing." Well Jr., that picture is completely inaccurate. If you multiplied the number of skittles in that bowl by 1,000,000 and there were still only 3 bad ones it'd be more like it. Also, have you heard of food poisoning? I mean, it's unlikely with skittles, but people eat hamburgers every day and the likelihood of getting a deadly disease from them is probably higher than dying in a terrorist attack in the U.S.

Whatdya mean? The only question at this point is if we're going to threepeat 2 years from now or if it will only be back to back nattys. Pump the brakes....pffffft. I'm assuming he's one of those "If we talk about games other than the one next week, our players are going to take the next victory for granted and lose" people.

He's right about one thing. He's never seen anything like it. Literally. As in, not even now.

Still on Parks & Rec. I didn't realize what a good actor Chris Pratt was until I saw him in it.

Iowa lost the Rose Bowl. This isn't relevant to the discussion. And I'm not asking which game people would rather us go to. Obviously we all would pick the Playoff game. Sorry, forgot the I of course knew you were being sarcastic and weren't wondering how we could get rings like Iowa last year but the response still doesn't make sense since I'm not asking whether people would prefer to go to the Rose Bowl or the Playoffs.

I don't want him to play but I think we discussed this last week.

My God, relax people. I don't particularly care about it being the Rose Bowl. It just happens to be the best bowl Nebraska can go to outside of a playoff game and knowing we would lose the playoff game makes the decision something to think about, imo. Losing the last game is always hard. Being a 1 loss team and winning our bowl game sounds pretty great to me. I still pick the playoff loss though.

I want to win by 14+ and never be nervous after the first quarter.

Yeah, "doom-and-gloom" is a pretty accurate description of me. Unfortunately, over the past 15 years or so, my hunches have been correct far more often than not. You'll also never see me complain following a Husker loss, because I'm mentally prepared for it. It sucks to be this way; I didn't ASK to be this way; I've just slowly progressed into this train of thought due to the numerous letdowns over the years. However, to say that I'm alone in my feelings about this weekend would be asinine. Courtesy of 247: "Northwestern (+7) vs. Nebraska The Wildcats needed three weeks to pick up their first win of the year, falling to Western Michigan and Illinois State by a combined three points in their first two contests before taking down Duke at home, 24-13, this past week. The last of four consecutive home games to open its season, Northwestern now faces an unbeaten Nebraska team coming off a 35-32 victory over Oregon last Saturday. Tommy Armstrong, Jr. has scored four touchdowns for the Cornhuskers in each of their last two games but the model has Northwestern pulling the upset at home this week." Why don't you link the model so we can see how stupid the methodology is.

This doesn't mean I think these will happen. My guess at the moment is we'll lose a game before Ohio State, we'll lose to Ohio State, and we'll win our bowl game.

We won't know if it was a turning point for quite awhile so this is a prediction thread. I don't want to say yes and then lose to Indiana Wisconsin and Ohio State.

If our education is so bad compared to other countries, why are so many foreigners coming here to be educated?Can't read article yet but that paragraph was pretty vague. My guess and it's only a guess is we're lagging behind with undergrad courses, teaching and students but our postgrad is still good which is why foreigners are coming here for it. It makes sense though. Almost anyone can get into UNL. In a place like China you have to be SMART to go to University. It doesn't necessarily mean our smart people are dumber.

All this bs would be cleared up if he'd just released his taxes. I heard the NY Attny General is actually investigating the Foundation for this now, so that should be interesting. I'm betting we start seeing tweets like, "Boring NY Attny General is unfairly accusing me of what Crooked Hillary does everyday when she doesn't get up and go to work because she has a brain tumor and I have HUGE rally's, the NY Times, Washington Post and CNN are failing SAD!!" It might be "cleared up" but I doubt it'd make him look good. It'd show how little he gave to charity.

Clinton jumped to conclusions on the "unarmed" shooting victim about 2 days after telling Trump not to jump to conclusions on the NYC bombing.

The problem with this is it wouldn't be a statement. They're 1-2
