SouthLincoln Husker Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Armstrong's stats are very good.....the most important one in my view to distinguish himself is not turning the ball over via fumble or INT. Turnovers are part of the game. It is how Tommy handles himself after he makes a boneheaded mistake. I have seen a young man growing up and leading. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Good Lord. If you really want to fight about nothing it'd be a lot easier if you'd just out and say it. Besides, you contradict yourself up there when you ADMIT that most have had tougher schedules, but then half ass buy it back by saying "well all they've done is play one better team than us", which, news flash, makes their schedule tougher. But since you asked, here are a few, not all mind you, teams that have played tougher schedules thus far than us. (NOTE: strictly my opinion on what I've seen, no fancy figurin' here) Georgia Stanford LSU Wisconsin Mizzou Texas A&M Oregon USC UCLA MSU ND Ohio St. There, I answered your question. And this is really about nothing, I am not one of the Tommy haters, I was just agreeing with many on this board that Nebraska hasn't exactly faced a murderers row yet and we should probably keep the anointing oil in a cool, dry place for a few more weeks (http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/71632-we-have-accomplished-nothing-reality-check-time/) I didn't realize this was another of my crazy, wrong statements like the one I made back in August that Fresno St was probably going to be quite bad this year. So you say those teams have played a tougher schedule cause you think so but some of them have been shown to have a weaker schedule according to Sargin(?)...Makes sense. Quote Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Ah yes, the infallible Sagarin, at least when it favors Nebraska....... 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm not discrediting anything. Do,you not agree our schedule thus far isn't exactly difficult? Quote Link to comment
deedsker Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Ah yes, the infallible Sagarin, at least when it favors Nebraska....... Ah yes, discredit anything that might favor Nebraska...At this point, Sargarin doesn't hold much weight. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've noticed no one really wants to refute what I said though. Not sure if "refute" is the right word, but the "eye test" is no more or less accurate than looking at box scores or a dozen other methods of predicting games. Just look at all the pundits making their picks; not many are batting better than 60-70%. There's just no known way to accurately predict matchups. 3 Quote Link to comment

But the fact remains common sense dictates FAU, McNeese, Fresno and Miami isn't exactly a gauntlet. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hold on everyone, I can fix this: Sagarin passes the "eye test." There you go. Irrefutable now. 3 Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 So how about that Tommy Armstrong guy, isn't that what this thread is for? 1 Quote Link to comment

But the fact remains common sense dictates FAU, McNeese, Fresno and Miami isn't exactly a gauntlet. I see your point. I don't flat out disagree, just think your "confidence" (for lack of a better word) in your point is too strong. For instance, here you assign "fact" to the quality of our opponents despite the fact that this is pure opinion. IMO Miami is a better team than they're being given credit for right now. I think they'll finish 9-3 and in a decent bowl game. And there's just no way to know how good McNeese St is or is not - they don't play any other D1A teams this season for comparison. All I know is that NDSU - another D1AA team - looks to me like a top 25 team in D1A, so the "they're just D1AA" doesn't mean much anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment

I love the endearing North Dakota State story as much as the next guy, but let's not kid ourselves, it would end in a hurry if they actually played a good FBS team. And it wouldn't be a happy ending. Also, let's not pretend MacNeese State gets to take credit for NDSU's success against bottom-feeder FBS teams. Quote Link to comment
