Wear the Wisconsin shirt without the X. High-five Badger fans all game long. Then when Nebraska is in the victory formation icing the win, tear off the Wisconsin shirt Hulk Hogan-style to reveal the Husker shirt underneath and that you were a Husker fan all along. They will be embarrassed but also impressed.

So you're asking if it's going to be a shutout? It did take me a little bit to think about it.

Might be tough since Youngstown has a 3:00 PM kickoff at SDSU. Obviously that's a joke.

What is up with that goofy spread punt formation where we leave the huge gaps next to the snapper? Does any other team in the county line up like that? It's the second punt we've had blocked from that formation. It's the only time I screamed at the TV all day. Baffling. Does any HS coach in the country run a spread punt formation backed up to the goal line? We got lucky it only cost us 2.

This. I think Riley also mentioned one of the starters going down early in his post-game presser. Would still like to see improvement. Backups are getting plenty of snaps due to injuries.

I learned I feel 100% better about the team this year than I did last year. Winning, even if ugly, feels a lot better than losing ugly.

Tommy will sling it all over the yard against Wisky. Mark my words. I love the optimism, but the O/U for that game might be 12.5. Just realized I may have taken your post the wrong way. We may throw it a bunch out of necessity. Still, lets get by Indiana and Purdue first.

One can hope. After forty years of rooting for the Huskers, I'm now boycotting the team until Riley and the anti-American players are no longer part of the football program. Let's go Illinois! Awesome! See you around in a few years. Don't let the door hit ya and all that.

No one where you work has ever said that.

I can see some stuff being new to a national audience, but what could possibly be new to Husker fans?

You can make more noise standing than sitting. It's science. When you see big choirs singing, are they standing or sitting?

Looking forward to it. Warts and all.

A LOT of money and the most fervent fan support of any school in the country, to start. Elite facilities and a fantastic academic support system as well. I'll give you fan support, but not the others unless Buffett has made a major donation to the athletic department I don't know about. Depends on who you are comparing us to. At one time we had a huge facilities advantage, but many schools have caught up and passed us.

A better coach? If I had to guess which coach, I would guess, and this is just MY guess, Scott Frost. I believe Scott will be coaching here in the near future, that is unless he falls flat at his new job. I don't think he's even on the current ADs radar. If Riley is fired before 2018, I don't see frost coming with only 2 or 3 years HC experience. And by 8 years from now, frost will either have failed or will be a HC at a better resourced school. He doesn't need to be on his radar when he's right in his rear view mirror. Boosters will make sure he's well aware of what Frost does at UCF. The UCF situation could go either way.

I would be happy to perennially finish in the top 10-15 while being in the playoff conversation late in the year. Maybe make the playoff 1 out of 5 years. Some people have mentioned the advantages we have. Other than "history", what are those advantages?

From a football standpoint I just don't ever see Oklahoma breaking away from Texas. Too many OU football players from that state. Right now they will play at least a couple of games a year in the state of Texas. Not sure Texas would agree to keep the RRR if OU bolted. Maybe they could fill their OOC schedule with Texas teams.

You can argue there are too many bowl games. With the current setup it is just awful that the NCAA uses academic performance to fill the "college" bowl game spots when not having enough eligible teams. /sarcasm I wouldn't be upset if they reserved an annual bowl game for 5-7 teams based on academic performance. Give the schools a bonus for graduating players.

I don't think so. He can still play a role in this offense. 3rd down/change of pace back. He did seem to want to hit the holes faster last night. His TD run was nice, and he could get better next year. Never hurts to have extra running backs.

I agree. It was especially concerning to me when he called a pass play in the waning moments of the game and killed the clock after a negative run play. That could have backfired on us but it didn't so not a lot of people are talking about it. I'd like to believe Langsdorf has learned from this season not to take play calling for granted and is able to manage a game better. Agree. The 3rd and 1 pass play on the drive that resulted in the field goal had me upset. We were bulldozing them and could have had 1st and goal from the 2 while taking another minute plus off the clock.

Hopefully Langsdorf has realized that a couple of stuffed running plays does not mean the running game has stopped working. It still serves a huge purpose. Shortens the game when your own D might be suspect, wears the opposing DL down, forces the opposing D to commit more players to the box, and opens up the passing game.

I think the game plan from the start called for a power running game. Cross and Ozigbo run with more power than Newby. Unless something else comes out, it was nothing more than that. I think your assumption is wrong.

The best angle I've seen, and it looks no good. College rule, ball has to be in entirely.

Even if you finish 1-11, it's always good to win your last game of the season. And I agree with others. That was a fun game to watch.

Please do not post things that reduce my ability to hate Miami If it helps he did use "then" incorrectly. Damn Hurricanes. Can't even compliment us correctly. It was a nice tweet.

Total bullsh#t. Even May and Saunders were calling it a bad call. Will see how much it hurts us in run support. Didn't go so well against Iowa after Gerry's ejection.
