*****COLLEGE FOOTBALL: WEEK 5*****
First of all, a shout to happyiowan on her birthday. We just celebrated 18 years together this past Saturday. THE best thing to ever happen to my foolish ass. So, I'll be quick tonight. Congrats to brendan on a 12-3 week. Moves into a tie for first place. Nobody is below 500. Keep on pickin' and a grinnin'! Thursday night action, so before kick. Standings to follow.
Thursday, September 29
South Florida -1.5 @ Pittsburgh
Saturday, October 1
Texas A&M -3 @ ArKansas
Mississippi State +8 @ Georgia
Northwestern +7 @ Illinois
Kentucky +28.5 @ LSU
SMU +11.5 @ TCU
Georgia Tech -10.5 @ North Carolina State
Michigan State +3 @ Ohio State
Baylor -3.5 @ Kansas State
Auburn +11.5 @ South Carolina
Clemson +7 @ Virginia Tech
Texas -10 @ Iowa State
Alabama -5 @ Florida
Notre Dame -13 @ Purdue
Nebraska +9.5 @ Wisconsin
Now, asking the primitives to make predictions about the outcome of college football games is like asking a Bolivian or an Annamese to predict migratory patterns of polar bears.

Nebraska
Well, we'll see.
Being a Nebraskan, and not accustomed to bad-mouthing opponents, the harshest criticism I can levy against Wisconsin is that they're a pretty good team.

So, is the DUmmie trying to start a "bookie" service at the DUmp?
If someone hits it big, will they get his welfare/SS checks forever?

I notice the truemud primitive's absent from this campfire.
The truemud primitive, based upon that he watches sports on television, likes to pass himself off as an "expert" on sports, including college football, when in fact the truemud primitive doesn't know excresence about sports.

I wonder what this is all about:

36. I don't mind losing I can handle it, I'm practiced.
I do mind the referees ****ing up calling an SEC game with the # 1 team in the land. Was that an OVC training exercise for low rent zebras?
11 people on the field ****tard with 12 you throw the handkerchief thingy. Damn.
Two gigantically bad calls, I bet Joker gets fined. Les should pay it.

No offense to you Big-Can't Count, but the "Big" game is UF-Bama. :-)

I considered that the third most-important game of the day, sir.
But anyway, do you have any idea what the primitive's bitching about?

No clue what they're bitching about, but since the game I'm referring to includes 3 BCS wins in 10 years, UF-2, Bama-1, and since they're from different divisions of the SEC, I'd say this is the biggest. SEC owns 7/13 BCS national championships. UT-1, UF-2, LSU-2, UA-1, AU-1. Nebraska-0, Wisconsin-0.
-
Not to mention the Swamp holds 95K people. Bryant Denny well over 100K. A LOT of eyes on this game. You may be looking at the SEC Championship game, assuming LSU doesn't beat 'Bama...which I'm starting to think will happen due to Jarrett Lee coming onto his own.

Bama kicked UF's ass...as did Wisconsin with Nebraska.
Sorry Frank... ya all just got a young QB. Too many mistakes. Wisconsin looked good though. I was impressed. LSU, who beat my beloved WV Mounties last week like a drum, is the team to beat in my opinion. Hell we put 500 plus yards on their ass and still got beat like a drum. That is one hell of a team. Bama looking good too. The SEC is strong this year. Too bad they are gonna beat each other up.
My money is on LSU. Probably LSU and Stanford in the title game.

Nothing to be sorry about, sir.
As I said in the thread in the Sports forum, Wisconsin has a pretty good team.
We'll get over it, and go onward and upward.

Ho hum.
So Nebraska got beat by a pretty good team.

Yeah, Coach, I saw that too. What this does is give Bo Pellini some idea of the work he's got to do to make them better for next week, and beyond.

Wisconsin came close to understanding the "key" to beating Nebraska last night, but I doubt they'll remember it for future reference. After all, even Missouri, which played Nebraska more times than any other team, never bothered to remember it--not even after a hundred + times.
So I feel eminently comfortable revealing how one can beat Nebraska, even when Nebraska's a powerhouse, even when Nebraska's number one, even when Nebraska's unbeatable.
Nobody remembers it anyway.
Nebraska is not a "comeback" team. Never has been, never will be.
Nebraska comes out swinging, and usually swings clear until the end, as our history shows.
I suspect in all the history of Nebraska football, Nebraska's scored more points during a first quarter than any other quarter. If there was a way to total up the numbers, I'm sure it would show that in all the history of Nebraska football, Nebraska's scored more points in first quarters, than in entire second halfs.
But, but, but.....
What if the other team isn't a pushover the first quarter?
And God forbid, what if the other team actually scores more during the first quarter, than Nebraska?
Well, problems for Nebraska.
If one's rooting for the other team, the way to decipher the outcome is this: if the other team's ahead of Nebraska by two touchdowns or so the end of the first half, game over. Nebraska's not coming back; never has, never will.
If the other team's ahead of Nebraska by three or more touchdowns at the end of the first half, the other team can feel free to screw up, fumble, lose the ball, commit infractions for penalties, miss kicks--the other team can feel free to wear slippers and tutus the rest of the game, because Nebraska's not coming back.
I've seen this all my life.
Everybody has flaws, vulnerabilities, and this seems to be ours.
How different from Oklahoma. All my life, I've seen cases where Oklahoma was behind by three touchdowns or something, and only two minutes to go in the game.....and Oklahoma won.
Nebraska never had that "comeback" resiliency of Oklahoma.
So if one wishes to beat Nebraska, even if Nebraska seems unbeatable, pound them in the first quarter, or at least the first half; pound them hard, pound them often. And then after a two- or three-touchdown lead, relax; no matter how much time is left, you've beaten Nebraska.
This has always been s-o-o-o-o obvious even a blind man can see it.
But for some reason, not even our most-often-rival Missouri ever saw it.
Not even some of the biggest geniuses of college football coaches have ever seemed to grasp it.
Nebraska's not a "comeback" team; never has been, never will be.
Okay, so I've given away the secret to beating Nebraska, but feel no qualms about it, as nobody seems to remember it anyway. It's a pretty sad state of affairs, when franksolich knows something about college football that most don't.
-
Yeah, Coach, I saw that too. What this does is give Bo Pellini some idea of the work he's got to do to make them better for next week, and beyond.
At the end of the first half, when Wisconsin was leading Nebraska 27-14, I quit caring, as it was inevitable how the rest of the game was going to turn out, as explained above.
I think Bo Pelini's doing a good job; one has to consider the job he has to do, after all.
We're new kids on the block, and aren't used to this. We never went in to the Big 10 with any silly notion of dominating it.....at least not until after a while. We have no idea the nature of these blue state effete elitist snobs (in case one hasn't noticed, Nebraska's the only red state in the Big 10). We just got there, and don't know the lay of the land yet.
I've said this too many times to count--we're going to stumble a great deal this season, and probably stumble next year (although less than this season), as we get used to things. Probably by the time an (R) president is re-elected in 2016, we'll have won the conference championship, and by the time I'm an old man, the Nebraska-Ohio State game is the only one that'll matter, in the Big 10.
-
I take this whole thing personally, in a way.
This all reminds me of when franksolich was a little lad, circa 10 years old, and the family moved from the black-dirt farming Platte River of Nebraska up into the unpeopled ranching Sandhills of Nebraska.
It was a wholly new world, different from what one had known.
Inevitably, one stumbles here and there, sometimes often.
But sooner or later, one gets used to the terrain.
Just as franksolich lovingly conquered the Sandhills, Nebraska's going to lovingly conquer the Big 10.
And again, I repeat, by the end of this decade--or maybe a few years past that--it'll be Nebraska, Ohio State, and the ten dwarves, in the Big 10. It's in the natural order of things; it can't possibly be any other way.

17. Props to the Badgers
They played a great game: tough and talented.
As for my Huskers: Not ready for prime time -- on O or D. Their weaknesses really showed up.
Stark contrast at the QB position. That was one of the big differences...
Oh well, back to the practice field to get ready for THE Ohio State...
My sentiments exactly, even though they're shared with a primitive, damn it.
There's plenty of historical parallels on which to judge this game just past, the main one being that it's apparent that Wisconsin is Nebraska's new Missouri, just as Ohio State is Nebraska's new Oklahoma, and Penn State is Nebraska's new sore-ass loser Colorado.
-
Oh my.
We're already getting pumped up for next week's game, the biggest one of the season.
But the Buckeye players have a suggestion. Insert the newcomers into the lineup early and often, and treat the Nebraska game as the start of a new season.
"We're going to go into that game super pumped,'' strong safety Christian Bryant said. "Trust me. Those guys are going to be on their 'A' game. The season is really going to start next week because that's when we're going to have our whole team.''

Sounds to me like you are taking Michigan and Wisconsin WAY too lightly.
Like GOBUCKS said, the Michigan / Ohio State game is more than football. To come close to that it will take decades of back and forth. After all, Nebraska and Ohio never went to literal war. Michigan and Ohio did (over Toledo). BTW Michigan won! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_War

Well, Wisconsin's said, done, and over with. We got pounded.
But there's next year. And a whole succession of years to come.
We play Michigan on November 19, as our next-to-the-last game.
I'm sure we're still going to be stumbling, trying to find our bearings in this new world, but probably we aren't going to be stumbling as much as we had against Wisconsin.....and remember, Wisconsin's considered the top team in the Big 10 right now. We didn't waste any time going up against the current best team.
If the new kid on the block goes up against the king of the block right away, it's pretty much a given the new kid's going to get his nose rubbed in the dirt, as what happened to us.

Yeah, I'm familiar with that war over Toledo.
There's the old joke about how Ohio lost, and had to take Toledo.
But, at any rate, there's some startling similarities between Nebraska-Ohio State and Nebraska-Oklahoma of old. One of them is that the legendary rivalry began under the most inauspicious of circumstances, Nebraska at the time having a down year, and Oklahoma at the same time having some problems with, uh, irregularities that affected the performance of that team. Missouri and Kansas dominated the conference at the time--this was, like, almost a hundred years ago--and so the first few Nebraska-Oklahoma games were thought of as ho-hum, just a game between two cellar-dwellers.
People in Missouri and Kansas especially thought that way, at the time.
We all know subsequent history.
It's gonna happen. It's going to take years and years, but it's going to happen.
