this was mack browns demise as well. He kept his buddies around too long before it was too late. If he keeps Vance around and our defense doesn't improve, vance won't be the only coach fired. Strong will go down with him
Y'all beat us 12 months ago too.

I am at a bar that has some random reality show on that has Tim Tebow as a guest judge. I had to explain Tebowmania to my friend.

Man what a glorious day
Nebraska defeats Oregon. Texas, Notre Dame lose and Iowa loses to an FCS team.
Memorial stadium was rocking. Loudest I've heard it since before the dark times. Nebraska fought and deserved the win. Some definite luck (man Royce getting hurt, such a bummer, he looked incredible). Helfrich's 2 point strategy was terrible but credit Nebraska's defense for holding them to 1-of-5. Also helfrich not running out the clock at the end of the first half, and then punting to DPE, allowed Nebraska to take momentum into the locker room.
Ducks fans were super cool. Stoked to go to eugene next year
First nonconf ranked win for Nebraska since 2001 (coincidentally that season was the last time OKla was a home dog too). 350th consecutive sellout (7-0 on the 50th milestones). We won the game despite surrendering 6.9 yards per carry.
Just glorious night in Lincoln, with the upcoming schedule of @Northwestern (they are bad but always play us tough), Illinois, BYE, @Indiana, and Purdue, Nebraska has a decent shot of being 7-0 for the first time since 2001.
Just gotta take care of business. As Texas showed today, road games a week after emotional wins can be TRAPS

Yeah, and we were overexcited then too!
Well the Big 12 may have finished the worst OOC ever by one conference, I'd say almost no chance at a Big 12 rep in the CFP
Doesn't Nebraska avoid all three good teams from the East? If so they have a great shot at getting to Indy

If WVU or Baylor go undefeated ( they wont ) then the Big 12 will have a rep. But those are the only 2 teams currently unscathed from OOC and I don't think the conference is strong enough to get an 11-1 team in the playoff unless the winners of the other conferences have 2 losses

I can't see a path for any of them, unless there is total cannibalism in thebother P5 conferences,which would be a miracle for the B12.

This ended the last two Nebraska head coaches
Doubt it, no championship game, big 12 is BAD, Cal is horrible as well, plus the conferences best OOC win(ND) just lost again...

Yeah it would be hard to leave an 11-1 Texas out (Brand privilege) , but Texas is staring down the barrel of a 6-6 season right now so......

No we go to columbus on Nov 5th
Well, on the bright side Wisconsin plays all 3, but Wisconsin also always seems to find ways of beating Ohio State, especially at Camp Randle
Gonna be 4 top ten Big Ten teams heading into conference play, Iowa will prob fall out, but Nebraska will jump into the rankings

I was going to go, but I broke my nose yesterday, and my pregnant wife is throwing up like crazy, so I decided to give up my ticket. Now I am pissed that I did! Glad you enjoyed it, and glad we showed Oregon fans a good time. Hopefully they will be equally gracious next year. My buddy and I plan on making the trip for sure.

Wisconsin'a next five weeks:
@Michigan state
@Michigan
Ohio State
@Iowa
Nebraska
I like our spot being the fifth game in that set
That may be the single hardest stretch in CFB, literally 3 top ten teams in a row, followed by the top 2 teams in the division

Wow! Who did Barry piss off to get that schedule? If they go undefeated through that murderers row, they will be #1 or #2 in the country,lol.

Yep. We also need to get more creative on our runs. Harsin used to run a lot of fly sweeps and shovel passes and reverses, but our running plays now are 75% running up the middle. And we were throwing the ball on occasion to keep the defense from stacking the box on run prevent, but instead we should have subbed those passes for more creative rushing.
At the beginning of the year they'd been happy to get through it at 2-3, but now they have their eyes on higher prizes, I think they'll beat Iowa, and that Nebraska game is huge as well but the rest is hard for me to believe that they have a real shot of beating.
I just want them to beat Sparty
Ok here's my prediction for top 25
1-Bama
2-OSU
3-Louisville
4-Michigan
5-Clemson
6-Stanford
7-Sparty
8-Houston
9-Wisconsin
10- Washington
11-FSU
12-Tennesee
13-Texas A&M
14-Baylor
15-UGA
16-LSU
17-Arkansas
18-Miami
19-Nebraska(New)
20-Florida
21-GT(New)
22-UNC(New)
23-Utah(New)
24-UCLA(New)
25-Okie State(New)
Dropped: 11 Texas, 13 Iowa, 14 Oklahoma, 18 Notre Dame, 19 Ole Miss, 22 Oregon

They haven't looked special at all this year, so I could see them losing 4 of 5,but college football is a funny game. They could just as easily win 4 and I won't be surprised.

The Georgia State game was abysmal for Wisconsin today. They were 35 point favorites and won by 6 after a late comeback
Ga State was ranked last in rush defense, allowing nearly 400 yards per game on the ground in their first two games.
Wish only managed 194 yards on the ground.
They switched QBs Late and that's what keyed the win. Gonna be tough sledding at Sparty

Lol, i just noticed that for the first time since the death of ezboards GAF, I have a tag. I wonder what it is in reference to?
Especially since Sparky is the ASU mascot, and I am clearly not a fan. LOL

One thing with my Badgers is they always play down to weaker opponents, seems like the no names give them more fits then teams like Michigan or Ohio State.
That stretch will be brutal though. I honestly think they win 3 of those games.

asswhoopin or not, Louisville isn't moving all the way up to 3.
1- Alabama
2- Ohio
3- Michigan
4- Clemson
5- Louisville
6- Stanford
7- Michigan State
8- Houston
9- Wisconsin
10- Washington
The real question is where will NDSU be ranked? I think it is clear that they are one of the best 25 teams in the country regardless of division. I mean shit after watching UT/UF/UGA/Mizzou I am pretty sure they would win the SEC east (not that it is much of an accomplishment).
I doubt they are this high. The pollsters, esp. AP have been hammering "close call" games.

Alright, everyone.
We are going to need a serious conversation soon about whether we will be calling it Ole Missing instead of Clempsoning.
Had those 2 games not been chokes, I don't think there'd even be a discussion about who's 1 right now.
Regardless of how solid The puke Ohio puke State puke looked last night.

LMAO, they'll be in the 20s for sure.
Miss'd it?
WAOM was a thing long before Clempsoning was a thing.

Big 10 really put its stamp on the season in non conference. B12 flopped along with the Pac12.
My conference rankings:
B10
SEC
ACC (I'd like to put them at #2, but just not enough depth)
PAC12
B12
Not how I would have imagined it at the beginning of this season.

Is there a place where on YouTube similar to NFL Redzone where I can watch every touchdown? Or even just some highlights of games?
