It was funny yesterday, some guy 3 rows behind me was yelling "EAT HIM ALIVE BO!" "KNOCK HIS HEAD OFF!" after a couple of bad calls that were made and he was expressing his displeasure on the sideline to the line judge.

Nebraska didn't beat us today...we beat ourselves.

 

Now that that is out of my system...I beg to differ with Paul Rhodes being a great coach. What kind of great coach has his team take a knee with 30 seconds on the clock, a wind at his back and all three time outs remaining? Especially when the pass offense was picking Nebraska apart during every quarter with the wind! That was a perfect example of a coach playing not to lose and not a coach playing to win.

It was actually 40 seconds.

Overall, everyone in my area was cool... but a Nebraska fan got the boot, not sure about an ISU fan for some argument or fight that was happening up above us a few rows. ISU fans were just throwing in smart comments about us leaving for the Big Ten next year when my friend and I were walking around all the tailgating parties going on.

I was at the game yesterday and man that was an intense battle. I was one of the many who witnessed 8 turnovers last year in Lincoln for my first Husker experience... and I didn't let the loss get to me, because my experience in Memorial Stadium was still awesome. After watching ISU come back yesterday... I was wondering if I was a curse on UNL. Fortunately, we pulled out the victory in the most exciting college football game I've been to. I thought Cody did an alright job managing the game, he put the ball on the ground once or twice, but was smart and jumped right back on it. I thought running the wildcat was pretty effective just for the fact we haven't seen it much this year and it threw ISU a curve ball to take attention off of Cody. I'm thankful that Niles, who has so much potential, didn't cost us this game with his lack of discipline on the field. Overall, with Mizzou losing again, we hold our own destiny and I look for us to win the North. I know I don't post much, but I appreciate the word of Husker Nation and respect the people who run this board and make it the best on the internet. Things that disappointed me as an Iowan though was hearing the ISU student section chanting #!ck the Huskers... or something along those lines, I don't remember the exact chant and the fact that Nebraska was getting boo'd terribly as they ran out onto the field. I can honestly say that UNL's student section showed ISU lots of respect last year when I was in Lincoln and did none of the above as I stated the ISU students doing. GO BIG RED!

Here's what I came up with...

-Alabama needs to lose at some point before playing Auburn at the end of the year

-Auburn needs to lose to Alabama when the two teams play each other

-TCU/Utah will lose this weekend

-Oregon State needs to beat Oregon

-Nebraska needs to win out

-Boise State and TCU/Utah would be the only undefeated teams... which if Nebraska were to win out would be #3 in this case if not 2nd by winning out

The BCS is not going to take both of those teams, so UNL would get a bid over one of them and get into the BCS National Championship game.

This is my theory, take it for what's it worth.... I'm just satisfied to see our team in the top 10 being a team people are afraid of after nearly a decade of suffering

HEY GABBERT! Did you remember to take your flea and Crick medicatio"N"?

 

I think you meant Gilbert. Otherwise we'll save that one for the Mizzou game

My bad... got my QB's mixed up, but yes you're correct. Really, you can use it for either game. I was just throwing my idea out there.

HEY GILBERT! Did you remember to take your flea and Crick medicatio"N"?
