Clemson cakewalk.....and the network is going to be an easier sell during basketball season for the time being. Quote Link to comment

I don't think anybody else in that conference has the depth or talent right now to make the CFP. It'll probably be Georgia, Bama and Clemson again. The fourth spot is the real iffy one and could go to any number of teams at this point I think. Quote Link to comment
Dansker Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 4-8 last year, and we're ranked 24th simply because of the strong finish last year, reputation of SF, 2AM, and a (hopefully) resurging defense. Still, I don't think we've earned the ranking but that's all for pundits/media to talk about. Worry about winning week to week, the rest till take care of itself. Quote Link to comment

Every time we get in the top 10-15, someone serves us humble pie and it's usually Wisconsin. 2011, 2014, 2016 come to mind. I'm not even going to mention 2012. Quote Link to comment

Saying something doesn’t matter, and then getting mad about the thing that doesn’t matter, is baffling to me. Quote Link to comment

I can’t wait to watch the massacre at Folsom. A group of buddies and I are going. Side note: We were just there for the Dead and Company show a month ago. Some guy shows up wearing a Huskers themed Grateful Dead shirt and hat. Not a single CU themed shirt in sight. He got the first win of the 2019 season. 1-0 vs CU this year. Off to a good start.

Why are they ranked?” Its a good thing, and the ball is in Nebraska’s court to live up to the respect. Speaking of respect, it’s probably time for the “we don’t get any respect” trope to die considering we are ranked after the nightmare of the past few seasons. GBR, let’s live up to the respect Quote Link to comment
