ACCCG stadium looks pretty full now.
Sucks for the fan who fell

Full? Are all the fans disguised as blue seats?

 

[Piggus]

Does the Rose Bowl sellout this season? Stanford is Stanford and Wisconsin is in for the third straight year this time as a five loss team if they hold on.

I don't know how you west coast people work things over there.

No, it probably won't. Or it will be incredibly one-sided in favor of Wisconsin. But that's Stanford's fault for having a shitty fanbase. It was pretty much 50/50 when I went to the Rose Bowl earlier this year.

 

[Jhriad]

This has been the Nebraska fan way for YEARS. :/

Heh, I'm amused that your post is pretty much exactly what I said a few posts before.

And now I'm suddenly depressed.

Are you kidding? 7 wins is what got Chan Gailey fired. And he is 1-4 against Georgia.

There isn't a coach in the country who could coach GT and beat UGA very often. Chans problem was that he only won more than 7 games once. Paul Johnson has done it 3 times already and has won a conference championship. Therefore he has bought himself a little extra time.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

He also got us in trouble with the NCAA by using in eligible players. Then had 10 off his players flunk out of school causing the admissions requirements to be tightened for future coaches. He is a decent coach but not really a good fit at GT.

Hm that's why he's such a stickler for graduating players now. But he's better now I swear! The NCAA cleared him on the latest issues (the AD was messing around) and he has one of the highest APR scores!

Fucking blind refs.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Fucking blind refs.

They're not even watching the game.

 

[SouthernDragon]

In belated defense of Stanford attendance...

The weather is awful and it is pretty much finals week. Undergrads are pretty hype about the team in general.

Going 0-7 against Georgia is what got Chan fired.

 

[Mrbob]

LOL. The Nebraska comedy tour is continuing to start the second half.'

Edit: Hahaha, Nebraska gave up officially

 

[tokkun]

This is getting ugly.

 

[cashman]

Texas and k state are playing a pretty good game you guys.

 

[thefro]

I'm still not sure how Wisconsin's O-Linemen pass the NCAA drug tests

 

[Jhriad]

This game. It is ugly. This is about how I feel right now.

 

[Meier]

FSU is gonna find a way to lose this. Jimbo went into full on conservative mode on offense and now they're chipping away on our run D.

 

[Van Owen]

Can't believe how overrated Nebraska was.

 

[andycapps]

Last thing before I go to bed. The last pass Murray threw was a fade route to back corner of end zone. Would have either been incompletion or td. Obviously was tipped at the line and Conley's reaction is to catch it. Also, I guess Jarvis Jones had the flu. No excuse but props to him for playing hard through it. Not his best game.

 

[Jhriad]

Can't believe how overrated Nebraska was.

For some reason people don't recognize just how bad our D is against the run and don't figure that into their assessment.

 

[Meier]

Lucky. I was confident they were gonna get a TD there.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

HOLY FUCK THAT BLOCK

 

[Mrbob]

Nebraska thuggery.

 

[Recarpo]

What a block. And what a terrible call.

 

[ag-my001]

Texas and k state are playing a pretty good game you guys.

With how bad everyone else has done, K-State will probably still get a BCS bowl with a loss, simply because there is no one else available to take.

 

[Jhriad]

Fuck off with that call.

 

[razielim]

Fuck off with that call.

Seriously.

 

[tokkun]

Defending a block that was simultaneously targeting, helmet-to-helmet, and defenseless player? Have you watched any games this season?

 

[Askani]

I like a hard hit, but no reason for that.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Defending a block that was simultaneously targeting, helmet-to-helmet, and defenseless player? Have you watched any games this season?

Yeah can't say I disagree with that call. The Nebraska player clearly just wanted to take a shot. Could have easily taken him out without leveling the dude.

There wasn't any helmet to helmet contact. Watch that replay. You and the refs are practically the only people thinking it should have been called.

 

[razielim]

Shoulder pad hit him in the armpit. Clearly a cheap shot.

 

[tokkun]

Helmet-to-helmet is questionable, but he clearly launched to hit high. That is pretty much an automatic penalty this year.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

At that speed with the defender not expecting it? Yeah.

 

[Chumly]

Bullshit call. Can't hit anybody anymore in football

 

[Mrbob]

He was out to harm the defensive back. That's why he got flagged. Hit him high and hit him hard. There was no need for that hit.

Ok Nancy. Wouldn't have a problem with it if it were actually a rule to not hit someone above the waist.

 

[Mrbob]

There is a difference between a block and blindsiding someone with a leveling hit.

It was a frustration cheap shot due to being down big.

 

[methane47]

Sighhhhhhhh manuelll

 

[Meier]

Oh EJ...

 

[tokkun]

Ok Nancy. Wouldn't have a problem with it if it were actually a rule to not hit someone above the waist.

The penalty is unnecessary roughness. Do you disagree that it was unnecessarily rough? He could have easily blocked him in a way that would be less likely to cause injury.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Ok Nancy. Wouldn't have a problem with it if it were actually a rule to not hit someone above the waist.

It's a rule to aim high, sweetie. I've played football. I know when a player is intentionally taking a shot on a player that can't defend themself. He could have more than easily blocked him without trying to level him. That's why he rightfully got flagged.

Probably just frustrated they're getting utterly embarrassed by a team with five losses winning their division by default on national television.

 

[Recarpo]

So should the WR have gone midsection with the block? What's the proper way to block somebody not looking at you?

Edit: That sounded like me being a smartass but I was actually curious as to how he should block in that situation.

 

[Canuck76]

So i was right to turn off Nebraska game mid-second quarter?

Everyone here was so hyped about the rose bowl. Oh well.

Next year our D will hopefully rebound a bit.

 

[Lonestar]

Went out for a decompression drive and coffee. Didn't expect to see Wincy killing Nebraska.

Every hit is harder than it has to be.

You seem to have a problem with the Huskers with how you're diagnosing how embarrassed they are. I've hit people like that before with the only intent of making a block.

Edit: another embarrassing effort on D.

 

[Mrbob]

Ball says F off Nebraska! Lol!

 

[Recarpo]

Dear god the Nebraska run d is even worse than I thought. This is brutal.
