That’s the thing … you hayseeds WON’T “be again.”Hardly… Better to be in has-been who will be again, than a never was, and never will be…talk about delusional.
46 conference Championships, Three Heisman Trophy winners, & Five national championships... Just stop.

Nebraska -9.5
- Thread starter Harris_Island
- Start date
The line had been creeping up towards an even 2 TDs for Nebraska, but there's been some recent movement back down and now it's at -11.5 or -11.
Vegas is predicting like a 31 - 20 game here.

Guess we’ll find out during the halftime or postgame talking head discussion?
Unless he breaks down film of last season, which would be interesting.
Nebraska lost a ton of talent from last year's team. I narrowed the players down to ones that played 100 snaps or more and sorted by PFF grade descending.

How did a Thoreson vs. Ramsey debate suddenly break out?
Oh well, nothing against Thorson, but I would take Ramsey for the one year.
See, what confuses me is how anybody would put Nebraska in Northwestern’s league. Just stop.
Does Scotty have a job when he lands?
Loolololololololol
Hey Someday, you gonna show up to take your lumps like a man or not?
Someday Nebbie will be good again ... but not today.
Meyer's smart enough to know that Nebraska doesn't have a talent edge over any of its competitors, why go there?
Meyer'll only go to jobs where he can get loads of 4-5 stars without putting in much effort.
I thought Nebraska looked talented and was fairly good. Northwestern was just better, particularly when it mattered most.
Teams in 2022 can't win based upon how good their program was in 1982.
He won’t take that job no matter how much money they throw at him. No one can make that program into a national title contender again and without that possibility Meyer is not coming. His ego is more important to him than his wallet size at this point of his career.
This! These are probably not both really GOOD teams, but neither looked anything like BAD teams.
I will say that if the Cats can defend with more consistency like they did in the 4th Qtr, this team has the opportunity to win some games. They ran the ball EXTREMELY effectively and almost had two backs with 100 yards. And Hillinski's poise was really nice to see. Happy for that kid.
Yeah...I really liked the way this team responded to adversity.
Nebraska comes out and marches down the field for a touchdown. Respond. Turnover leads to getting behind by two scores in the 3rd quarter. Respond. Miss a FG to bring the game closer. Respond.
That's the kind of grit that good Fitz teams have been made of. Obviously important to grow a bunch in the next two weeks before the 2nd game, but that was solid.
Glad you mentioned that. The word “delusional” really set me off. Like we were crazy for even *considering* that NU could win this game. NU fans on an NU board.
I saw a really bad team play Illinois today. Wyoming's offense was pathetic. I understand they only returned 6 starters from last year. It showed. And their quarterback couldn't throw at all.
What was the final there. Last I checked Illinois was only up ~10 in the 3rd.
Swen is a really good RB, but what good is that if the rest of the offense is so inept?
