It sounds like both side are a little bit bitter about it. :P

 

I wouldn't say that. One team wanted to play it out on the field and settle it outright. The other team decided to play in the Rose Bowl instead. Besides...

 

Where is their trophy? Is it in here?

 

 

 

But I thought the trophy was crystal and football shaped and........

 

Oh yeah!

 

 

 

There it is! Right there in Lincoln where I always remembered it being.

 

 

Do I hear Springsteen singing Glory Days.... ;)

I believe that Nebraska was 1, Penn State was 2, and Michigan was 4 going into the week of the NU v. Mizzou week. Penn State was unbeaten and MI beat them handily. Mich and FSU both jumped Nebraska, but once the AP voters put Michigan at the top, they couldn't pull the trigger on having them jumped in the poll. Michigan benefited from giving multiple ranked teams their 1st or 2nd loss. The Wolverines played 7 teams that were ranked at the time they played. 4 of those teams finished with 5 or more losses. Only three of those teams were ranked at the end of the season. Nebraska played 4 teams that were ranked at game time. All remained ranked and one team (Mizzou) that was not ranked at the time the Huskers played them, finished in the final rankings. Michigan beat 3 teams that were ranked at the end of the season and Nebraska beat 5 teams that were ranked at the end of the season. While you cannot argue that Michigan did not deserve to be ranked number 1, you can argue that nebraska was even more deserving.

I've never seen a Buckeye fan appearing to defend TSUN.

What a time to be alive.

I would say the same things to a Michigan fan.

He even says Michigan by name, I'm gonna have to question your Buckeye fandom.

Yeah. That's pretty fishy.

 

 

Some days I even wear blue.
