I don't mean today.

I mean over the last 2-3 years. I think he lucked into a win over Toledo.
No I’m referring to the last 2-3 years perspective. How can one player luck into a handful of wins ? I’d have to watch the games you are talking about maybe it was luck.

I think over 36 games, lucking into 4 wins is not really that big of a deal, is it?

Could Nebraska be the only Big 10 team to lose a bowl game? Not including the CFP.

So now I’m confused. If you see the movie at the theatre (regular season game) you have different expectations than if you watch it on Netflix? (Bowl game exhibition).

you either like the movie or you don’t.
Apparently neither ordered popcorn/snacks.

Don't you know that for many on this board;

Utah wins, Nebraska sucks.
Nebraska wins, then Utah AND Nebraska both suck.

The outcome of this game will determine how much it matters to some.
Could matter for the portal for both teams

This whole conversation really emphasizes why it sucks to be a fan of Nebraska right now. We are such a broken, irrelevant, and pathetic program that we’re having conversations whether a game matters or not to determine if we’re 60th best team in the country versus the 55th.

In other words, it’s just a matter of how many teams in our bowl game suck and who sucks the most? 🤔

LOL. The last movie I went to was Talledegah Nights and my son paid for it, before that it was Pretty Woman on a date with my wife. (Not much of a movie goer or movie watcher).

P.S. My wife has diverticulitis, so no popcorn.
So did Pretty Woman get you “lucky”? 🤣

You know who isn’t in a bowl game? UCF and everyone here’s favorite POS, ******, lazy, Wood River man boy “coach”…. Scotch Fraud.
You know who is? Nebraska.
If you posted a moronic picture like below… your opinions are void for at least 2 more seasons.
Try and enjoy the actual program you pretend you care about, you kooky bunch of furious Frostutbators

Iowa making Heisman candidate Pavia look bad. I'm honestly not too worried about Lateef's supposed struggles against great defenses in PSU and Iowa. And especially when it was a total team collapse. TJ has higher upside than Raiola and the begging for Dylan to come back is pathetic. I'm expecting TJ to have a good game today and be the frontrunner going into next year.

I haven’t seen one person begging DR to come back?

I've seen several.
Honestly I’m guessing it kills his ego that there hasn’t been mass crying about his departure. People realizing we can get more bang for the buck by him being gone and hopefully a huge net improvement with a decent Oline coach.

I was a huge supporter - but after 2 years I’m glad he’s moving on and think it will be a net improvement for the team.

💯 Absolutely, that's where I'm at.

TCU would mop the floor with us

well coached, tough team with multiple NFL guys

the opposite of what Mr Nice Guy trots out there (poorly coached softies with no football future)
But… Keep in mind that Matt figured out after the last game of the year that our defense didn’t know their plays, but he’s addressing that now - so lookout!!! 😂😂😂

Vanderbilt's punter had a brain cramp that might - emphasize might - outdo any of the bonehead plays Nebraska had made against Iowa over the years.

Vandy went from having a promising drive to gifting Iowa the ball at the 10-yard line.

I'm not sure the Huskers have even managed to do that.
Guess it kind of evens out as Iowa dropped a TD pass earlier in the game that ricocheted into a Vandy interception/touchback. So, it’s the “right” halftime score. 😉
