Although they can't hang with Ohio.
Yeah, contrary to JR's knee jerk reaction from the first 5 minutes of the game, CU would handle them.
Things started going S in Lincoln when they let Solich go.
His teams are tough.
His teams are tough.
I wonder how many of them after all that has happened wish they had given him a bit more time.

My guess is that, given the relative intelligence of the great majority of them (and I use the bolded term advisedly), they still think they should be competing for the NC every year ... despite the fact that they haven't won so much as a conference championship since 1999 under who? *ding* *ding* *ding* you guessed it ... Frank Solich.
But of course they also hold Frank personally responsible for the "Beatdown in Boulder" (my term, copyright) in 2001 which, by their own admission, was the beginning of the end for kNU's aspirations for national relevance. Thus, while any rational fan base would recognize the utter nonsense in excoriating a head coach who IIRC never won fewer than 9 games in a season ... oh right ... we're talking about Fusker fans.
/never mind
My take is a little different.
Nebraska and Colorado both had fallen from national relevance to irrelevance. CU pounded them to shame in 2001 for sure. But those 9 wins seasons just were not that impressive given how weak the Big12 was at the time. The north was awful and the south still had patsies (OKie State, Baylor, Texas Tech for example). Neither NU or CU were the powers they had been.
9 win seasons with NU schedules wasn't impressive, given where they had been.

Sure, but pretty impressive given where they are now.
Like us they had a legend retire on them. And like us they self induced their fall from grace.
Really? I'd say they are the same now. Pelini had them winning 9 games. They certainly had an off year with a totally new staff and new system, but he's got to get a QB who fits that system. I have no doubt Riley will get them to that level of mediocrity quickly. I have serious doubts they can get past that level in this day and age. They no longer can bring in 150 kids, or take advantage of "advanced nutrition".

Going for fourth down at midfield with 7 min left in game? Attempting a 54 yard field goal after your field goal kicker just missed an easy one? Is Dan Hawkins coaching USF?
Wide open football baby!

This ain't intramurals, brutha!
No. Why'd they do that?
I guess they lost around 40 yards in three plays
I tried to watch some of that but a certain hawkish commentator caused me to turn the channel.
didnt uga die last year too?
They have a shelf life of about a year.
Beats the hell out of me, all I know is they're on X now. Must be a stressful job.
Epic ass kicking going on now.
I still wear Buffs gear all of the time. But I'd like to think it doesn't scream "hick".
Make sure you send them all down to the wharf...
Never forget they are the greatest fans to enter Memorial Stadium.
