Nebraska @ Colorado Game Thread (9/9/23)

That would take an "everything breaking right" scenario for a team that has had nothing break right since 2014.

Spot on
can't argue that

 

[CrnhskrBob]

I think we’re one year away from breaking the Pelini curse.

Pelini curse? You mean a.d. petersen!!!
Oh, now I get it!
Like trading the Bambino, firing Bo. You are correct!

 

[Nebraska1]

Hopefully for us it springs eternal my friend

I agree with you on Sims, He's going to give away more points than he scores. Are 2nd and 3rd string QB's serviceable? I hope so.

 

[Beareye]

What did Ilini show you last night...I think that is winnable as well.

Not much. But I would gladly trade places or rosters with them right now.

 

[Phillysker]

So some asked. I see wins vs N Illinois but it won't be easy, LA Tech, NW and Purdue. We need to win 2 vs Mich (lol), Sparty (doable), Illinois (doable), Maryland (doable), Wisconsin (ummm no), Iowa (doable). Sims has a turnover early next week...HH will be in.

Rhule: "There was never a thought of taking Sims out."

Sigh. We're hosed. We have a QB who has great talent but has terrible football IQ and is a guaranteed turnover machine. And we have absolutely nobody behind him who's a better option.

Rhule is fat and happy with his Carolina money. Nebraska money is just gravy. He can’t admit he made a mistake. Not that the back up QB is anything to crow about but Matt Rhule thought that his QB room was ready and that tells you all you need to know about his judgment.

Polini curse? You mean petersen!!!

I loved Bo. It’s a curse from firing him. I said then it would take 10 years to get back to where we were in 2014. I still say 8-9 wins is our ceiling in the BIG, especially with the Cali teams coming.

September 30 2023, USC 66 sCUm 6.

Actually there’s no D in USC. They will give up at least 35 but win by 14

For the record...

That kind of WL record should give them a spot in the Roter Rooter bowl.

Gotta start somewhere.

They want to get those things by playing in the NFL.

I don't particularly like him, but part of the draw of Deion Sanders is his players can connect with guys like Michael Irvin. Those former NFL players can help CU's players get better on and off the field so they can get to the NFL. College football exists because it's the only way for players to get drafted. This is a business for the players too. Other schools do this too, but it seems like there's even more attention because of Deion. It's not just guys like Westbrook becoming more visable around the program.

Yeah it’s sure having a ROLE MODEL like Mike Irvin will do wonders for the young players. He definitely can teach them about the dangers of nose candy use and inappropriate conversations with Female hotel employees.



Don’t Be Like Mike!

The water boys and girls looked really good today!

If you’re satisfied with that then you should have no problem down the road when the Big 10 culls the herd and sends the likes of Nebraska to Division II

They didn't?

they did.. I predicted 37-17 CU, caught hell because I "bought into the hype" of CU.. Score was damn near right on with what I said.
