Yeah, because we didn't beat washington, penn state, ohio state, and mich state...therefore we are not a goon enough team to take on a "bcs level team." People like you severely annoy me. I am sure that you were sure that we were going to lose to mich state and penn state as well. Have some confidence in your team. When we are on our A game we can compete with any team in the country. I think he's saying a team that makes a BCS bowl game. I'm pretty sure he knew exactly what skers was saying. It annoyed me too. I'd rather us get into a BCS game and lose than go to a crappy bowl. I think we can compete too, if we don't have a NW-type game.

I know Robinson is great but I've seen their backup play before and he looked pretty good

Penn State's not gonna beat both Ohio State & Wisconsin

We need the defense that played against MSU to show up.............I'm nervous as hell for this game. Actually we need the OFFENSE that we played against in the MSU game to show up accross the ball from us...Somehow I don't think that will happen. Ya. Let's give all credit to the other team sucking and none to Nebraska. Everything good Nebraska ever does is because the team we were facing happened to suck that day. This is my plan from now on. You've convinced me. edit: I may have overreacted if you were just talking about mobile QBs. *takes a pill*

nevermind

I agree on that particular play. I don't consider that the receiver's fault, really. But every other time the ball hit a player's hands in this game, it was on the receiver. Save maybe that really high short throw on third down to... Enunwa or Bell.

Yep. The minute I heard that they wanted to walk the game ball to his house... I wanted Nebraska to win more than anything.

not even close. why are they measuring?

haha that was such a long wording by the ref, just to give us heart attacks.

I don't think they got it

They can sneak it for the first down easily. The biggest mistake was being fancy on our second to last drive. We could have run a minute and a half more off the clock by running it up the middle three more times.

The meeting in the center of the field isn't a tradition for Nebraska before games (that I've ever noticed) but some of the players do it at the end of every game.

did we really need another topic on this?

sorry but you're quoting some guy from Kansas I've never heard of and another guy from Pennsylvania. That doesn't indicate anything to me.

Yes... like I said in another thread, that's the most damning thing for Paterno. If he trusted him enough to hire him as a coach, he obviously also trusted that he didn't lie about what he saw.

That's how a statement should be. Not "This is an official Nebraska Statement, but I'll still mention that Paterno's my best friend"

I had that same thought... the D.A. thing makes it feel like that. Too bad it's not a movie instead.

According to Paterno's testimony, "fondling or something of a sexual nature." Someone's lying though. The A.D. claimed that the GA didn't mention any sexual conduct occurring. Only something that made McQueary feel uncomfortable. So either McQueary changed his story when talking to the A.D. or the A.D. is a liar.

Ya, the game can't be moved. It would have to be a forfeit or just never played. The B1G Championship is December 3rd. That's our only open date left.

What he did was worse than Joe Pa. It makes no sense. He actually witnessed it and then did nothing.

um ignore this post

I'm not getting the defense either. He hired McQueary as one of his coaches. You don't hire a guy if you don't trust him. You don't trust a guy who makes terrible accusations like this if you don't think they're true.

Their about face is idiotic to say the least, way to play the field. But reading the report and putting all emotion aside you can not say with any certainty what Joe was told by the GA and if he new the gravity of what he was told. It's not an excuse but it sounds like he heard enough to know that someone higher needed to be informed of it, and he maybe justed wanted to wash his hands of it and keep his nose clean. There just isn't enough detail in the report from the GA or Paterno to draw a definitive conclusion about what was said. Either way it's just really disgusting and disturbing to read. The BoT either knew more than they are telling, or they are just trying to save face and everyone that acted questionably is going. He stated that he was told something of a sexual nature occurred between a 58 year old and a 10 year old. *shrug*

They're playing at Iowa, and they are historically bad when playing against Iowa.

I think they reflect society. It's no worse or better. I'm also skeptical that things are much worse now. There's just more media coverage and faster spread of things.
