B10 games are so unpredictable. It's almost like a new team each week. The scores this week or just insane.

That’s fine. I’d rather be gay and smoke dick than be a bitch

Take this to the Hy-Vee parking lot or maybe NSFW depending how the conversation ends up.

Penn State...dafuq you doing there?

Texas running back fumbles the ball into the end zone and Texas WR recovers for a TD. Good teams do shit like this

Dis gonna be a weird year. Watch us lose to Indy and beat tOSU.

True. Notice how our players are around the ball more the last couple years.

Not saying we're Texas, but it's better than the shit that Frost rolled out.

I don't remember the exact stat but teams traveling 3 time zones in the Big Ten have an abysmal record, like 1-10 or something

Yeah. Maximum effort tends to help you make your own luck

I am pretty sure our offense is down in second halves because we go into a shell with a lead to avoid letting teams back into it.

I’m not saying this is a 10 win team (as some briefly believed post Colorado), but it’s obviously better so why are people so bitchy?

Oklahoma shitting the bed hard...lol

But we do let teams back into it, because we don’t keep foots down on their throats.

It cost us Illinois.
It almost cost us Buttgers.
It will cost us games on our next opponents.

I think the west coast to 3 hour time difference is going to be a real thing. Michigan goes to Seattle & loses then Washington goes to Cockeye & plays a game at 8am & gets blown out. USC loses at Minnesota then beats up penn state.

Idk how the conference is going to manage that shit

However they do it in the future I'm sure it will favor OSU and Meatchicken

I don’t really agree on Illinois - that came was close basically the whole time.

But even if that is true, this team has already tied its highest win total in the last ~6 years with 6 opportunities to get bowl eligible, why are people so bitchy about a team that’s obviously better?

It’s not going to suddenly be amazing - why isn’t better something to be happy about?

I watched for about 10 minutes, and I don't think a single Oklahoma defender made a tackle on first contact.

Because if you fix the hull of the ship but the motor is still shit, then it’s just a matter of time before you stuck in the middle of the water barely moving.

Why are people bitchy about people bitching about our team? We still have some defects from last season, and that’s a lack luster offense and a “special” special teams.

This is why I think you see the SEC AND B10 reach an agreement and take over. I actually like splitting teams up geographically. It is cool to see other campuses that you normally wouldn't see, but for the players sake, it's probably for the best to not fly them across the country through multiple time zones. The record for those teams, as before mentioned above, proves that.

Or maybe the Big Ten is just full of mid teams that look good one week and terrible the next.

 

[Papa...Football]

I find it amusing when emotional fans attempt to apply the transitive property to predict how good or bad Nebraska’s football team is, as if sports outcomes follow such clean logic.

Reminds me of back in the day when the polls decided champs.

One can be happy about progress but simultaneously pissed when they are plagued by fundamental mistakes, the same type they've been making for 7+ years. The Illini game was lost because of that.

This team has the potential to be very good (9/10 wins) but keep making the same mistakes and they could crater to a 6 win ceiling. 6 wins is improvement but the program's expectations should be much higher.
