LOL Nebby

Purdue is way more accustomed to losing than Nebraska. They're trying to give it away. Let's see if Nebraska takes the bait...
So what? If they keep winning, they will have an opportunity against one of the top dogs from the east. Beat them, Hawks are in. Lose that game, or any before, and none of this schedule talk matters anyway. Just enjoy yourself.
Yes, bad juju setting in here. They have definitely blinked.
Don't know what it's like to be 26 points ahead in a B10 game in the 4th quarter apparently.
Can we all agree now that this finally removes Nebby from National Championship contention? 
What's frustrating is that you know their record is not indicative of their talent. They're not OSU, but they're also not ISU. They're perfectly capable of putting a good week together if the players and coaches can get on the same page. They'll now have an opportunity to do that in a trophy game against a (hopefully) division-contending Iowa in their only chance to salvage something from 2015. Not an excuse for Iowa if we lose, but it's tough to see Nebraska suck this bad when our legitimacy in the new Big Ten is partially dependent on us beating them and Wisconsin.
I like the play call-- aggressive. GB does that quite often too-- it forces the defense to do more than just stack the box to stop the run. Granted the Purdue QB is no Aaron Rodgers, but the player was open and had a very good play on the ball.
I have to admit...the thought occurred to me in another thread that yeah, there was a way Purdue could conceivably win this game.
Comes out flat, lots of turnovers, Purdue makes something out of them and is turnover-free.
Like...10% chance at best.
But I never ever truly thought Nebraska would lose this football game.
Wow. Simply wow.

Yeah, because strength of schedule has no role in who gets the "consolation" prize in losing the B1G championship game.
It really isn't that tough to figure out. Unless, I guess, you would be just as happy going to the Citrus Bowl as you would with the Rose Bowl.
Given that the Pac12 v B1G tradition at the Rose Bowl doesn't likely have much life left in it (I'm pretty sure that we aren't far away from an 8 or 16 team playoff), I'm really hoping for a trip to Pasadena if Iowa doesn't qualify for the playoff.
If the analysis involved "playoffs or nothing," I'd agree. But that's not the end analysis. Not even close. There's a game in Pasadena that Iowa hasn't seen since 1991. Call me crazy, but that's an awfully attractive consolation prize.
And, let's face reality, the decision between a one-loss Iowa team and a one-loss MSU or OSU will have a lot to do with whose resume is more impressive.
If you can't see that, I've got nothing to add.
I see what you're saying. And I know, you're not wrong. I'm just hoping that they win out, and are able to prove all of these talking heads wrong. If not, I'd absolutey rather see them in Pasadena. But I'm not willing to concede that yet, either. Call me a homer. Call me unrealistic. Whatever. I'm just enjoying every minute of this that I can. This doesn't happen every year for us.
He really didn't even look all that bad from what I saw. I only saw three of his picks and two were on the receiver.
Iowa would get the nod over either OSO or MSU, and it would have nothing to do with resume.
What would matter is: how long since your team has been there and fan excitement to be there.
Advantage Iowa.
Every time I watch a Nebraska game this year, I spend most of the time thinking, "Is this Mike Reilly thing serious?"
What does this guy do??? Every time he is shown on TV, he's standing there with his hands in his coat pockets, not talking to anyone, not doing anything.... At one point today with 3 minutes or so to go, he had taken his headset off and was just holding it in his hands, and looked like there were a million other places he would rather be. I'm no expert on body language, but wow did he look like a guy today that either is having serious regrets, or already knows he's canned after the season.
I hope they keep him for a long time. He is their Lickliter.

If both teams would play there best game then Iowa wins. Nebraska's talent is highly overrated in fact it's all hype. Plus they have Mike Smiley coaching staff........fail!

I have to admit, never even set foot on their rivals board, but it is full meltdown they are dreaming of IF they had stayed in the Flag Football Big 12.
The move to the B1G being the scapegoat for all their woes. Anyway, I do feel a little bit bad for them. I actually want the B1G to be really strong.

I don't think there's any question that Nebby is the best 6-loss team in the country.
Remember when the Huskers were going to just roll in, cash in and dominate the BIG?...
lol, I enjoyed both of those posts. Screw USC, hope they form a Heaven's Gate cult before drinking the kool-aid and taking permanent naps with their Nikes on. They can catch the next comet to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
