Nebraska fans spent all offseason bashing Deion.

[Turn Down for What]

So of course he'll go in dry on us in about a week.

 

[ChocaEgg]

CU def goin in no lube.

 

[huskerj12]

Don’t. Don’t you dare. I will have to retire if that happens.

 

[ThomOsborneMD]

Nah we’re gonna beat them. Either way let’s all have fun.

 

[Turn Down for What]

Should have hired Deion.

 

[Stan Raymond]

We will still beat Colorado. Wait until you see them on Saturday.

Us losing 13-10 doesn't mean we'll lose to one of the worst P5 teams in college football.

No way The Simulation™ will pass on this opportunity. It has been setting this up all year. Fox was running fucking Coach Prime ads all game that looks like some fucking reality TV show. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s just trying to annoy us as much as possible amplify the psychological damage of losing. I used to fear death. Every Husker game day that passes makes it seem less and less bad.

the score will be 17-7 Nebraska with 7 minutes left. We will lose 21-17. The simulation is nothing if not predictable.

Before the season, with the prediction thread for today's game pinned on this site, I had zero confidence and simply not enough knowledge about our own team and players to give any prediction. I felt like we had lost most of our best offensive weapons from last season (Thompson and Palmer), and we seemed to continue to lose talented players in the offseason or during fall camp for one reason or the other (Betts, the talented frosh RB from last season, etc). My gut was our offense would struggle, but my hope was that Rhule and Co were smart enough to gameplan for what we do have in the cupboard.

As far as Colorado - same questions, really. What do they actually have for players that are any good? Do they have a better coaching staff than us? Is all the hype around them mostly hot air? I don't know the answers to those questions. Will know more if I can stomach watching them this weekend. We found out a good amount about what we have in the cupboard, tonight, and it's not a ton. So I would make no predictions about NU vs CU at this point. If anything, we seem to still be cursed with losing games - giving away games - in the exact same ways as we have been doing for years now. Until I see that changing, I don't have a ton of confidence in our team even breaking .500 for one damn season.

As disappointed as I am in the game tonight I still think we destroy Colorado.

The only guarantees in life are death, taxes, and Nebraska finding new and creative ways to lose football games

I honestly believe we're significantly better than Colorado and despite our knack for finding ways to lose will over power that bitch ass team.

Jeff Sims will lose a bunch of winnable games this season. The opponents will be inconsequential.

 

[Turn Down for What]

If you have a QB who can't throw, what do people think will happen?

Oh, and by the way. It's not like our run game was impressive last night either.

I have to wait & see how they play TCU before I make a firm decision now. Our defense can keep us in any game I feel like but we may have the worst offense in America.

2009 all over again, but we don’t have a generational talent on the D-line this time.

Jesus, we all had us losing as a non-homerism pick. And we lose, so is it really a surprise?

By all definitions, we gave Minnesota the game several times and they capitalized on it twice. So we beat them in a way. But now we're expecting to lose to a very bad rostered Colorado team led by a guy who talks about himself in third person?
