RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 A win would mean we stopped UCLAs winning streak against us. So theres that. 1 Quote Link to comment
RADAR Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 We freakin' lost to PURDUE. Time to get over it. It was two losing teams, one lost to the other. Oz lost to a loser in Iowa St., a much worse loss in husker history. 1 Quote Link to comment
RADAR Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 A win would be a stepping stone into, what I expect to be huge improvement in next years team. 1 Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 What we have heard thus far about ucla is how fast they are and how much skill they have. If we win it might piss me off bc it would mean we do have the athletes to win big games and we don't have a talent gap. (Sarcasm) kind of? 1 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 A loss is just as meh as a win. There's no real difference between losing 7 or 8 games, just like there's no real difference between 5 & 6 wins. If 8=7 and 7=6 and 6=5 then and 5=4 and 4=3 and 3=2 and 2=1 and 1=0 then 8=0 and we're undefeated. 3 Quote Link to comment

A top ranked team losing to a below 500 Iowa St team is a better loss than two losing teams squaring off. Really? Now that's some kind of spin. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 A loss is just as meh as a win. There's no real difference between losing 7 or 8 games, just like there's no real difference between 5 & 6 wins. Even if we get boat raced? A close loss, sure. A blow out? Not so sure, dude. Is that anything like motorboating, because that may not be so bad... 1 Quote Link to comment

There's no real difference between losing 7 or 8 games, just like there's no real difference between 5 & 6 wins. Even if we get boat raced? A close loss, sure. A blow out? Not so sure, dude. What would you define as a blowout loss? Cue numerous tangential posts about blowouts in 3....2....1. I'd say anything north of a 17-point differential. 28-14 feels competitive-ish. 35-14 is starting to feel and taste (yes, taste) like a blow-out. Also, the higher the total score, the bigger the margin needed to constitue a blow-out. 20-3 feels more blow-outty than 35-14 or 42-21. If one team is shut out, even 14 points can qualify. There is a method to blow-out analytics. Indeed, the upper-division coursebook has an entire chapter titled, "Adjusting for Garbage Time." A loss is just as meh as a win. There's no real difference between losing 7 or 8 games, just like there's no real difference between 5 & 6 wins. Even if we get boat raced? A close loss, sure. A blow out? Not so sure, dude.Is that anything like motorboating, because that may not be so bad... You motorboating son of a bitch! Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 We lost a lot of games, lost to Purdue, but that same Purdue team had Michigan State on the ropes to. All of us hate the losses, but it is a chance to see the kids play, more practice and hopefully a good show in California, where the kids are we want to recruit. Lot of talent in the LA area, and kids that are looking at UCLA may be moved. National TV on a Saturday night, can not hurt us with a win. And if UCLA is not ready to play, I will say the same thing when we claimed it against Washington. Lack of preparation/coaching. You play the game to win. If we can pull it off, this board will become a little more bearable I think. I listen to Mark Packer on XM. He hates the over abundance of bowl games and 5-7 teams playing in bowls. He made very positive remarks about Nebraska and how close they were, and how heartbreaking the games were, yet they showed up every game to play. Not a Nebraska fan, but felt we are a lot better than our record shows. That is important, and most talking heads seem to feel the same way. I would hate to be a fan that only saw the team in win or lose scenario. The kids give it their best, my guess a lot harder than most on here do their jobs if they have jobs. I am tying to convince the wife to go, but they are forecasting rain and snow on Monday. she is like a lot of you, do not deserve to be in a bowl game, and does not want to travel a 1000 miles to watch them. May go by myself this time. More time learning the system more time getting to know their head coach and position coaches, more time on the field, can not hurt them I don't think. 1 Quote Link to comment

BoNeyard Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Unless we take care of UCLA like we did vs Arizona in the Holiday Bowl i won't be overly confident in things going into next year. What does a win mean? Well, its a Nebraska win so that is good and always better than a loss. But really, a loss to UCLA won't make me that upset as we shouldn't even be in this bowl game in the first place. Quote Link to comment

Riley's first year, TO's 15-16 or somewhere in there. Much bigger loss. Not that I care, but the bitching over losing o Purdue is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Stop bitching about it. It meant nothing. Quote Link to comment
