Remember when people who defended Bo said the transitive property had not validity in college football? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Ah yes...there it is...the infamous "you have no right to be upset" post....I forgot there are only 2 categories of Nebraska fans: The loyal faithful and the jerks/babies

An undefeated team wouldn't have to worry, but odds are pretty strong there will not be an undefeated Big 10 team this year.
It's a 1 loss team that would have to worry when being compared to a 1 loss team from another conference.

yeah, the season is not lost. but how long are we just going to evaluate these teams on what could happen, rather than what has been happening for quite a while now.

Oh I agree with that, but the OP said "even if we went undefeated." That is what I was responding to.

What are you guys talking about? Nebraska's going undefeated.
Now, I'm off to see a man about a bridge, he wants to sell it to me.

Pretty sure almost no one is saying that crap. Yesterday annoyed me a lot, but I still think we're going to beat Fresno State, Miami, Illinois and have a good chance against MSU. I also think we'll play down to 2 or 3 of our opponents and lose to them if we get a confidence-boosting win against MSU.

You think we'll have a good chance against MSU? What?! Didn't you get the memo?
We're bad and you should feel bad.

Someone else posted a fire Hoke thread (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/fire-hoke?page=2), and a big complaint is about Michigan losing at least 4 games every year.

It is indisputable that the team was not mentally prepared for McNeese State, and Ameer made that clear in his post game comments. This ultimately is on Bo for not recognizing it, because his public comments prior to the game sure made it sound like the team was dialed in. That lack of focus WILL bite the team in the butt against a better foe.
PLEASE
Don't use this as a vehicle to ad nauseum restate your dislike for Bo, the staff or the direction you think the team is going. At this point no one is going to offer up a pithy insight that hasn't already been flogged to death.
CONSIDER
Three plays. THREE_PLAYS.
That's 21 points boys and girls. And any one of those could have broken McNeese's will to play, potentially obviating their sticking around in the fourth quarter. And NOT ONE of those plays were the fault of scheme. All execution. (At this point some of you, and you know who you are, are ready to point out that Bo and the staff are responsible for execution too. Please, just don't. It's not that it's untrue; rather it's been laid out so many times that, well, you are really making yourself look stupid by pointing something virtually everyone else knows.)
14 point swing arguably in the bag and I would contend that 21 points were likely. What does that make the score?
That's all I wanted to point out. The game was closer than it should have been and I am sick and tired of last minute miracles, just like you are. Nor am I positing that there are not systemic issues that have to be fixed.
However, looking at that game if anyone wants to argue that a 21 point swing does not make the outcome of the game look entirely different, well.....

Three plays. THREE_PLAYS.
- Cotton's false start. Negates an almost sure TD. 7 point swing.
- Cotton's penalty for the leg whip. I thought that was a bogus call. I looked at the play several times and Cotton was twisting in the air as he was falling. At best it was 50/50 but the refs chose to call it so there it is. This killed NU's momentum on that drive.
- Tommy's dumb-azz INT that turned into a pick six. 7 point swing.
- BONUS PLAY. Cotton being an illegal blocker downfield when Westy makes that spectacular catch falling backwards. ESPN top 10 catch if it stands. Momentum killer. Between Bullet 2 and Bullet 4, call it another 7 point swing.

We got a FG on the drive where Cotton had the tripping call, so that was only -4 point difference. But on the pick 6, we would have gotten at least a FG there so that was more of a 10-14 point swing there. If we score that TD to go up 21-7, I think the route would have been on.
