We aren't the only team that chokes

[Count 'Bility]

Remember last week when everyone said we need to be like Stanford?

How's that going?

They won 63-13 today. I'd say that would be pretty good.

Oh, I am sorry. Nebraska never destroyed the bottom of our conference this year. I am so sorry.

I'm just genuinely confused by the point of that first post. Were you trying to say that Nebraska was more like Stanford today, or that Stanford had some slip up that I haven't heard about, or what?

I guess I miss-spoke. I was thinking two weeks ago when Stanford beat Oregon. Everyone seemed to think we needed to be just like Stanford who was the big game all mighty. They proceed to choke against a broken, but not defeated USC. I am saying that Nebraska is its' own team. We have our flaws under this coaching regime, but we are not alone in this respect. I am happy what Bo has accomplished, given our situation, and we should be happy to have him as our coach. Cheer up; we won a game and let that be in our thoughts for at least 24 hours before you let your walls crumble in(not you specifically, but the board in general). Does that make sense?

USC beat Stanford by playing like Stanford. Lining up in conventional sets and running the ball. No cutesy stuff. They out Stanforded Standford.

Ok, maybe it wasnt THAT physical or simple, but you get what I'm saying. Just that that style of football still does get the job done over anything else.

From my perspective I see 3 teams right now that haven't choked as you call it, Alabama, FSU and OSU. I guess we can throw Fresno and N. Illinois in that category also.

A&M didnt surprise me. Baylors effort shocked me. Oregons effort disgusted m. We dont WANT to play in the Rose Bowl? What a joke. Well, they got their wish, no Rose Bowl. Nobody can say we quit, not like that.

Oregon didn't say they didn't want to play in the Rose Bowl. DuhAnthony said that. But what he meant was he wanted to play for the national title and was disappointed in losing to Stanford. Everything else reported has been blown out of proportion.

As for today's game, I watched it. Arizona came out ready to roll. Their QB was hot and made some big plays. They came to win and took the win. The Ducks didn't hand it to them.

Over at ESP- the title of the story they put out regarding Oregon and the Rose Bowl was

"Oregon ~ Rose Bowl; Been there Won that" (inferring that Oregon not excited about going to the Bowl). Yes, it was the press but made people think that feeling was prevalent at Oregon!
