But the fact is we have screwed the pooch in almost every game like this for the past 10-15 years. That is literally the only reason it's hard for me to assume we'll win. I think if it was another team and I was seeing it objectively, it would be easy to pick the not-Colorado team. I have those same nervous hebe jebes. I picked NU to win but in that Missouri 'show me' mode. Show me you can win the big games that you "should' win. Show me that you can go 7-0 over teams that we should beat. Last week was practice. This is when the real work begins. Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 2 hours ago, Saunders said: They are projected for 4 rushing yards, I love it. This game absolutely still worries me, but I am hopeful. Also apparently Dom is eligible again and now our QB according to Phil? But that's an easy mistake to make. Quote Link to comment

I might have been a little drunk and took me longer than it should have to realize I was watching a video game. If you're drunk tha animations look so life like! To be honest the screen shot looks like it could be from an actual broadcast. 1 Quote Link to comment

Will Compton was kind of hesitant to say Nebraska is for real and will beat Colorado. Lewan seemed way more confident. They talk about it for like a half hour at the start of the podcast.

I totally get, we are invested in it. It makes it different. When I was in college and the Skers were killing everyone, it didn't matter who they were playing that Saturday I would be like "Dude, Skers will cover the spread by 14, blowout!" Then everything since after Bo has been sooooo lame that we are going the other way, to protect our fragile hearts! 1 Quote Link to comment

308_Husker Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I'm glad my hatred for Pat Forde has been reignited. I've loathed him since his 'Forde Yard Dash' days at ESPN. I've felt like he's always been an anti-Nebraska homer. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment
KCBuc Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I’m curious to see how White comes after CUs Qb. Do you spy Chedder? It seemed he liked to roll left so do they dare bring a CB on a blitz? i won’t touch NU this week. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Still gun shy with this team, been drinking Kool aid too long so I will stay with a wait and see approach. I want to get hyped, I just can't after so many let downs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 20 hours ago, teachercd said: It doesn't help that this is a terrible match up for NU. NU is built to stop the run, eat clock and throw the ball to big tall WR's for 5-10 yards. CU doesn't care about running the ball CU doesn't care about eating clock If NU gets down in the game by two scores, it is over. The dam will break and NU will show again it is not ready for a big game. If NU gets up, well, CU can still come back, but if NU can get up and impose their will...This could be a beat down. So CU could win in a blowout or a close game. And NU could win in a close game or blowout. Got it! Quote Link to comment
