I think they played in front of 70K at UCLA but that is a lame crowd.

 

Tomorrow night will be insane.

 

 


It's also not a great stadium shape for crowd noise. I went to our game @ UCLA and was on the home side and all the middle aged UCLA people were complaining about their friends selling their tickets to the Husker fans.

Was there ACTUALLY 70k at the UCLA game? every time I see pics of their stands, it looks like there might be 37 people in the whole stadium

We win by at least 2 TDs.

 

Colorado is not a good football team.  CU has a season O/U of 5.5 wins.  They are not coached well. Hunter is a good player.  Sheduer is an average to good QB (the only reason he is being talked about as a 1st rounder is because of his dad.  He was 57th in QBR last year, surrounded by Spencer Rattler, JT Daniels, Tanner Mordecai, and Peyton Thorne).  Horn is just a guy (look at this stats from last year).  Their RBs, OL, and front 7 on D are trash.

 

I think the only reason that Nebraska fans are nervous about this game is that we have PTSD from the last 10 years.

This. Absolutely.

There's a great example of this on the Peyton Manning episode of Bussin' With The Boys.  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. 

Here's the episode:

People love to say the last decade had nothing to do with tomorrow, but it totally does.  If we were to get down by 14, every single fan is going to be thinking "here we go again" until proven otherwise. 

 

It makes exactly zero difference what any fan is thinking.

You can't just pretend the mental side doesn't exist, it does.  The team is better physically, but we don't know mentally yet.

 

Can they overcome a big deficit? Sure, but there is no bet on it from me until it actually happens.

 

It does.  But that doesn't mean that anything that's happened in the past is going to affect anything.  The majority of the players and coaches had nothing to do with Husker football until 20 months ago (or less).  So trying to say they will be affected by anything before that is quite the stretch.

If what the fans thought mattered, we may never win another game.

Ha! I feel ya, but the team has felt this too for years.  They do feed off the crowd, good and bad, whether you admit it or not.  They still need to prove to themselves, and to us, they can win an important game.  Could be tomorrow and momentum builds, but it still hasn't happened yet and it very well might not.  The last 10 years are very real.

Trying to say that it absolutely won't, or has zero effect at all, is an equal stretch. This same group of coaches had four opportunities to get to a bowl last year and went 0fer November.

 

These guys are human also, they read stuff and absolutely feel what the temperature of the school, the state, the media is.  To sit here and tell me they don't is silly.  I'm not really sure how you can honestly believe that as a human that is affected by his surroundings every single day.

You can't blame them though bc we were supposed to win last year and Jeff Sims decided to play for the other team that day.
