I would settle for doing the opposite of what we did against Tate last year.
Fixed.
Nebraska has had higher ranked recruiting classes than CU over the last 5 years. I’d thought it was closer.

Show their opponents in those games, then we'll talk.
I didn’t want to take the time to analyze it because I knew smart people like you would do that.
I know how recruiting rankings work. The difference between, say, a 40 and a 20 may be due to more numbers in a class or a couple of more highly rated guys for one than the other. Not to mention the pure subjectivity of rankings. But I think it is safe to say that the talent levels for both teams are on par with each other.
The number of "experts" out there riding Frost's jock is a bit ridiculous.
I finished the 1990 CU at NU game. CU still kicked the Cornhole's ass 27-12 despite 4 turnovers on the road (hmm, simulation, anyone?).
Here is what the broadcast didn't show:
(I've told this story before, but it is appropriate to repeat it at this moment).
After the game, a bunch of us CU fans rushed the field. We tried to take down a set of goal posts and a few people were lightly roughed up by State Troopers, including my roommate getting dragged off the cross bar, falling to the field. We gave up on that, and wandered across the field hooting and hollering and eventually gathered in mass mid-field, stomping on the N. Another roommate decided he needed to pee, and what better place to do it than on the N midfield? He is mid-stream when another State Trooper grabs him by the scruff of his collar and drags him off as he tries to stuff his junk back in his pants.
He was so drunk, he couldn't find his drivers license in his wallet. We aren't allowed near him and other Troopers are telling us it is going to be a loooong night for our friend in the clink before we are able to get him out. In his drunken stooper, he drops his reserve military ID on the ground. Trooper sees it and lets him off with a stern warning.
We spent the night singing the CU fight song in various bars. At least a dozen irate NU fans came up to us saying "How dare you have the gall to wear that gear and sing that song in here!". Fortunately, we were about 12 deep in our group and no one tried anything worse than lecturing us.
**** Nebraska!

To be fair, to anyone that doesn’t watch every game, right now CU = Hawaii. Which doesn’t say a lot.
That story is notable as it is the only documented case of Jay trying to stuff his junk BACK in his pants.
Our guy @TDforTD has broken it down nicely before, but while their rankings have been pretty good on paper, they've been inflated by guys who have either left the program, guys with academic issues, or guys who simply didn't live up to their star ratings and can't even crack the two deep. Think 2008 (?) CU recruiting class to a certain extent. TD can explain it in more detail if he's not scared.I didn’t want to take the time to analyze it because I knew smart people like you would do that.

a warning for those of you crossing the border into fuskerland:
freshman liver and a bunch of us pile into cars to caravan to the game in stinkoln. this is in the age of 3.2 beer at 18. yes, i am old. **** you. we're probably 30 vehicles deep as we had out to stinkoln, and between us, we've probably got enough beer in cans, bottles, and kegs to supply a small army. the fusker state patrol is waiting for us on the on fusker side of the border. they pull the caravan over. and THEY TOOK ALL THE BEER! yes. all of it. they didn't leave us one last drop. ****ers.
now, i am told the fusker patrols search colorado vehicles for the demon weed. and, i suspect that the penalty will be harsher than confiscation. just remember, you are entering a dystopian society that is part handmade's tail and part hee-haw.
and, a few seasons ago, i was stopped crossing the colorado-fusker border in my german automobile with california plates and CU plate frames. i was on my way to do some bird hunting with friends. they had me stopped for nearly an hour, saying i met a profile. yeah, i am sure. when i got out the shotguns to show them, they lightened up and let us go.
again, you are dealing with neanderthals here. be cautious.

Handmaid's tail.
yah, i thought about going back to fix it, but it handmade's tail somehow seems fitting. it is always a barrister with typo police.
That was a typo? I thought you were just referring to poontang as handmade's tail, which is politically incorrect but still awesome.
It actually wasn't Jay! I know that is hard to believe - he was just the guy that got dragged off the cross bar and fell hard on the cement-like AstroTurf.
