A visit from our rational Nebraska fan (or as close as they get.)
The B1G was the wrong fit for Nebraska, what does this say about how bad it is to share a conference with Texas. Nebraska left their traditional rivals including OU, left their traditional recruiting grounds of Texas, and went to a conference where they would have less influence in conference decisions. All this to get away from the Horns.
So glad that we had the option to go to the PAC. We can complain about national coverage and respect but our situation is so much better now.
The vaunted UW secondary is struggling right now.
This would be very unfortunate for CU's chances of winning the division.
Not if we win out....
Obviously. Would be nice to have some wiggle room though.
I would drive my ass up to Laramie and buy a ticket to see Wyoming host ****braska next weekend. A rematch would not go well for the corn humpers.

Gonna say it. UW is not a top 4 team. Certainly not playing like it.
Exactly.
I guess they are not legit then?

While we're on that subject, Michigan looks like the best on field team. Doesn't really matter right now-Ohio State and Michigan still have to play, and the loser there won't be able to recover.
UW looks like a good team, but not a great team. They mud-holed Stanford, but that was the first time Stanford realized they were only average and a lot of things snowballed on them.

Not now, nope.
Are you talking about Washington? And saying their defense is a team weakness?
He has to be commenting on the fact their secondary has seemed to struggle to contain Cal's passing attack.
this game is too ****ing close
Ok. Washington probably has the best secondary in the Pac-12, though.
I completely agree.

Relative to ours ... definitely. And they're showing it tonight. Their front may be good, but as S2S said, their secondary is unimpressive, at least tonight. And their D gave up enough points to Utah that they needed a late punt return with a flagrant uncalled illegal block to clinch that game. Of course as I said, our offense with the exception of a couple of games has been inconsistent to say the least ... so that's probably a wash. I think we beat them with our D in the CCG.
UW and CU are carbon copies of each other in a lot of ways. The match up in Santa Clara will be interesting
I can't agree with that. The move to the B1G was very good for the academic side of the university. It was also vey good for athletic dollars. It's has sucked for the fans to leave the history and rivals behind.
NU was on the right side of many of the votes that broke against them on the financial side of the B12 and few had their backs, not just Texas. The fanbase is standing on the top of a potential sinkhole, once the ground gives way and public opinion changes (say a scandal or political misstep) it will implode or have the potential too.
The fans remain the backbone, strength and best hope for the university but it's going to take some forward thinking to realize that and protect it. The $40 million they are getting from the B1G could/should offset the increased ticket surcharges rising ticket prices, parking costs, seat back costs (and other forms of tax to be a fan) but the greed and arms race of big time collage athletics.... I think they are riding that old horse into the ground with old time thinking, enough to damage the relationship with the fans.
You can't fault the fans, the sell outs, the rabid fandom, the top 10 attendance for a joke of a basketball program, the sellout streak of women's volleyball, the top 20 attendance for a baseball team that hasn't been anything special for a decade.
I am a partial outsider, I follow football and that's it. It gives,me perspective without the red tint. I am far more a Creighton fan as far as how I connect as a fan and the way I respect how I'm treated as a fan. Creighton has it figured out.
The over the top constant coverage of NUFB is unreal here, it has its own reality bubble that ends at the states borders. The feeling of national relevancy, their own opinion of importance... It's nuts and amazing, both at the same time.
