That's right, but not on these boards. We've got Wisconsin vs. Nebraska today? Who wins, y''all? (and be careful with your answers!) :fuelfire: :tongue:
-
Oh now, Revolution.
You know how it's going to end.
What time does the game start?
-
7pm central time. Our unis we're using for the game are ugly as hell in my opinion, but that won't stop us from getting out of our slump, and winning. :p
-
Wisconsin vs. Nebraska... winner? fans of mediocre football :fuelfire:

Okay, thanks.
For some reason, I thought it was an afternoon game. Maybe it'd been scheduled that way, and updated, but I didn't see it updated. I dunno. This happens a lot.
There's still much resentment down here in Nebraska, about the way the effete easterners are trying to make the Nebraska-Iowa game into a "rivalry." Iowa ain't nothing, never has been. It's like they were looking at a map, and said, "oh, look, Nebraska and Iowa are right next door to each other, and so they're two peas in a pod, like each other, and so they'd be good rivals."
Bah humbug.
Iowa doesn't resemble Nebraska any more than Bolivia does.
The majority fan sentiment in Nebraska is that Wisconsin evolve as our main rival.
-
GOOD! :-) I think everyone in the Big 10 are rivals, but that's just my opinion. Everyone knows the crap teams though, so those kind of rivalries are laughable.

Oh now.
Slumps happen.
Good things don't go on forever.
Having a good run from 1887 until 2003, it was about time Nebraska went into a temporary slump.

Sorry, Rev--in this one, I've got to go with frank. He's gradually turned me into a Nebraska football fan, Julius Caesar Watts notwithstanding. (Besides, in 1983, Wisconsin knocked my alma mater out of the NCAA D-I Hockey tournament. :fuelfire: I was a freshman at the time.)

-
I was at the local VFW Club picking up Saturday supper, and while waiting for the cashier to give me my change, I happened to catch a glimpse of the television, seeing what was probably a replay of something in the Ohio State-Michigan State game; I guess the winning touchdown.
Awesome.

I wonder what's going on.
Osborne retired yesterday.
-
Wisconsin 14, Nebraska 3, first quarter.
Something's going on.
-
The guy in the cubicle must be making nice-nice with a secretary in the office, instead of tending to business.
For these "live scoreboards" on the internet, what they have is guys sitting in cubicles, each watching a different game on television, and punching the numbers into the web-site as they happen.
Especially during evening games, sometimes it's a long time before the guy gets back to punching in the numbers.
"When the cat's away, the mice will play....."
Leaving all the rest of us wondering what's going on.
-
I have to say that unlike a certain quality of individual Nebraskans, the Nebraska football team itself has never been a good "come-back team."
If the score's Wisconsin 21, Nebraska 3 at the end of this first quarter, game's over. It's done. Wisconsin's won.
Despite its greatness on the gridiron, that's always always always been Nebraska's weakness.
-
The best come-back I ever saw, which certainly has to rank as one of the most spectacular outcomes in the history of college football, was near the end of the Ohio State-UCLA game, in either 1978 or 1979; I forget which.
By fortuitous random chance, that game was one of only perhaps a dozen college football games I'd ever watched in their entirety, from start to finish.
UCLA was ahead of Ohio State by six (I think it was six), with only about a minute to go in the game.
Ohio State got the football way back at its 5- or 10-yard line.
Well, there was only about a minute to go; it looked as if UCLA had already won.
The Ohio State quarterback, Art Schlichter, unerringly threw pass after pass after pass, connecting every single time.
I never in my life saw such perfection in passing.
Ohio State won that game.
I then decided Art Schlichter had to be the best, the greatest, college football player of all time.
Well, he probably was, college. But then he turned pro, and got all corrupted.

Wisc up 20-3 now
-
Wisc up 20-3 now
But this is the second quarter, not the first.
If Wisconsin scores one more time, a touch-down, it's over, done, finished. Wisconsin can celebrate.
If Wisconsin scores one more time, a field goal, it's sort of iffy, but the odds are 90% that it's over.
-
The NCAA scoreboard still shows Wisconsin 14, Nebraska 3.
The guy in the cubicle who's supposed to be punching in the numbers isn't doing his job.
He's probably bouncing around on the carpet with a secretary.
Either that, or partaking of Jim Beam from a drawer in his desk.
These guys really need to have the boss hang around after hours, to be sure they do their job.
-
Well, Hell.
The guy who's supposed to be punching the numbers into the internet scoreboard must be in the men's room now, puffing on the wacky-weed.
This is really a pain; he's supposed to be in his cubicle watching it on television and punching in the numbers as they happen.
And I assume he's well-paid for doing that.

What site are you going to for the scoreboard? ESPN does it pretty much instantly
-
You know, when these internet scoreboards first came into being, I thought they'd be the greatest thing since the invention of sliced bread.
Because I'm deaf, I can't hear a game on the radio. True, there's television, but trust me, it's very awkward, and not worth it.
So in the past, I used to just wait until the Sunday newspapers arrived the next morning, to learn who won, and what happened.
Well then, internet scoreboards came along, promising instant, up-to-the-minute updates as things happened.
Yeah, right.
-

I'm using FoxSports.
I used ESPN two years ago.
Every year, I try a different site, hoping to find one that delivers.
ESPN wasn't delivering two years ago, nor was CBS last year.
And the year before that.....
These guys in those cubicles really need to be supervised, watched over, and yelled at if they're not doing their job.

Top of the page, Frank. Just click on WISC vs NEB, and you've got live updates.
I'm happy with what I see from Bucky tonight, but it ain't time to celebrate yet. Whole half to go.

20-10, Nebraska starting a comback

Okay, I'll try that one again, but two years ago.....
Anyway, ESPN shows 4:10 to go in the half; FoxSports is still showing 11:50 to go in the half.
Damn those guys.
It seems an easy job, and they're probably well paid for it.
-
Uh uh.
ESPN has a glaring error.
They show Michigan State having beaten Ohio State.
-
Sorry. THIS (http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/gamecast?gameId=322730158) link will take you directly to it. It shows 3:11 to go in the half.
-
Damn.
Do these internet scoreboard companies hire dyslexics or illiterates or skid-row bums or primitives to punch in the numbers?
-
Uh uh.
ESPN has a glaring error.
They show Michigan State having beaten Ohio State.
That is quite a faux pas. They'll most likely fix it by tomorrow. :lmao:

Near the end of the season, it gets really bad.
They promise a "live up-to-date" scoreboard, for example, on the weekend Army-Navy's the only college football game scheduled.
One still has to wait for the Sunday newspapers to come in the morning, because the guy in the cubicle's gone to a casino with his hottie, thinking because it's only one game, and usually a pretty boring one at that, nobody's going to want up-to-the-minute scores on it.
It's also bad during late-night games, such as those on the west coast.
They're doing their job only during the first half of a Saturday afternoon, and then they start tapering off.
-

Ooops. My bad.
I was seeing the "14" and the "20" as the scores.
Damn.
Sorry.
-
I think you should go beat the shit out of the man in the cubicle, Frank. It's the only solution.
-
Well now, I immediately take that apology back.
It shows exactly what I see it showing, cutting off the score on the right side.
20-14.
-
I'm digging for "paint" on this computer--it's new, so I can screen-capture what I see.
-
My link now shows :44 in the 2nd.

My link now shows :44 in the 2nd.
Mine shows :44 too.
But damn, I'm not finding paint in this computer.
I know it's here.

the 20 and 14 are their rankings

So you're not using the ESPN one? Did the guy get back to his cubicle then?
-
Son of a...! He MISSED the FG!
-
So you're not using the ESPN one? Did the guy get back to his cubicle then?
No, I'm on ESPN.
The guy at FoxSports must be passed out at his desk now.
I found Paint, and am working on photbucketing right now.

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/dummiedestroyer/score.jpg)
So, one can see it gives the impression the final score was 14-20; one doesn't at first notice part of the right-hand side's been clipped off.
Oh well.
-
You aren't alone in your thinking. I didn't consider ranks either until something was said.

My apologies about the Paint brouhuahua.
I've had this new computer set up for a few days, but then I take my time customizing it, a couple of weeks or something, and I hadn't gotten around to finding Paint yet.

Third quarter now underway.
If Wisconsin scores first, game over. No Rose Bowl for the Cornhuskers.
If Nebraska scores first, it's going to be a l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g game.
-
Oh by the way, I just saw on my FB that one of the bars in Madison is offering Free Jell-o shots with every Badger TD. I personally while drinking never had Jell-o shots. Never had the desire to mix a kiddie dessert with booze. As my father would say, "That's amateur hour. If you're gonna drink, just drink."
What I wos wondering is how crocked many of them are going to get. Lol. There's still a lot of game left, very probably another TD or two, and I doubt all the patrons are doing is waiting for scores to drink.
-
Touchdown, Wisconsin.
Game's over.
I could never figure that out.
"Come-backs" are a natural characteristic of individual Nebraskans; Hell, my own life is a litany of bad starts but good finishes.
But the football team's never had it.

Wisconsin 27, Nebraska 17, third quarter

Point-after successful.
Wisconsin 27, Nebraska 24.
I must say this year's ESPN is the best internet scoreboard I've seen since they were first invented.

20 unanswered points, and that's how it ends. Damn. Just damn...

Well, I was surprised when I woke up this morning.
Wisconsin 27, Nebraska 30, final.
Based upon the internet scoreboard only, which shows scores and possession of the ball, when I went to bed circa 10:15 p.m., it looked to me as if Nebraska had run out of steam--we do do that, sometimes as early as mid-way through the first quarter--and the final score was bound to be Wisconsin 35, Nebraska 27, or even Wisconsin 42, Nebraska 27.
So I'm surprised, but not nearly as happy as I'd be in the past.
