[Mr.Bojangles]

There's a big chance we don't this year. Outside of Purdoodoo who else do we have confidence in beating?

Maybe UCLA?

 

[Herbie]

to people saying 2025 is significantly tougher … have you looked at it. It’s still an incredibly manageable schedule.
But unfortunately Rhule has shown zero ability to manage a game

 

[Slam Duncan]

Next year's schedule is rough too. Doubt bigly that we'll have a shot at going bowling

Why are you here lol?

Nobody should be confident that we'll beat Purdoodoo

I am. Purdoodoo is really bad.

You’re right. It’s because our defense hasn’t been up to par and we will be at a disadvantage at special teams most likely every week. Hopefully our defense can get their shit figured out. I have no faith our special teams will figure it out.

Purdoodoo, Rutgers, Indiana, UCLA, Wisconsin, Cockeye. Puncher's chance is in others. 9 wins was my prediction this year.

Where is the confidence for Indiana and Cockeye coming from? We're going to be underdogs in both those games

"never as bad as it seems..." I need to see how this team responds Purdoodoo to say for sure. I think Nebraska is a better team though. I think they didn't play to potential last night, and will improve on D and running.

"Never as bad as it seems" doesn't apply to DONU man. It's always as bad as it seems and typically worse

95% are spam political tweets

If you block him, the Parking Lot forum almost doesn’t exist. Which is fine.

It’s strange an Cockeye fan likes to spam post political tweets on a Nebraska board.
I guess they just really love hyvee

I could see Indiana getting ugly if we keep trending the way we are on defense. I actually like our matchup against Cockeye. They are still shit on offense, and we have skill guys who can give their defense issues.

My thoughts during the game. Announcers didn’t say a word

My favorite part of this is how they called it a first down without even measuring, then reviewed it after they'd already moved the ball and chains, and said it stands

 

[nscottie]

Overall I didn’t think the officials were horrible, at least not like during the Colorado game. The call you mention above and the no call hit out of bounds during ot were my two issues with officiating. I do question Illinois only having three penalties.

My big takeaway with most of the calls was how undisciplined our defense played. We gave them cheap penalties that extended their drives. It reminded me of Frost’s teams. You get a reputation of a lot of penalties and officials focus on your team. I hope we can get this cleaned up.

How much you want to bet about Nebraska making a bowl game next season lol?

It was a very Frost-ish loss.

Everything came together for them to blow it on the big stage: poor game management, mental mistakes and penalties, bad special teams and a defense that was worst of all. If they were better in any one of those aspects they win the game. The chef’s kiss was the OT where they got manhandled.

Rhule and staff are much better than that of which they replaced but last night they were almost a mirror image.

That wasn't very chasing 3 of us
