Nebraska Cornhuskers Football - Page 34 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Nice one with Avery Roberts. He is a good one. Have to think the fact that you guys offered his lil bro and we didn't has something to do with why you got him. CORN is quite a drive from Delaware.

I'm excited for this class, it's shaping up better than any class we've had since the Callahan years. Still a long long ways to go though. Need to get some DEs and some tackles badly.

Sam Foltz, the senior punter for the Nebraska football team, was killed in an automobile crash Saturday night in Merton, Wis.

RIP Sam and RIP Mike.

As a Sparty fan, I know a lot about Mike but everything I have read about Sam appears he was an amazing person.

Man, what a great guy, gone way too soon. Such a painful day for his family first and foremost, and Mike Sadler's family. But also for the Nebraska football family.

pretty sure i'd have to bet on nebraska this week without odds, but oregon getting 3 points. oregon hasn't given me much to be confident so far this year, and riley and his staff are more than familiar with their offense.
both offenses should be fine (even though oregon is very young on the line), but i just can't see the oregon defense getting things done this week.
oregon covers -3 but loses

Big win.

Last year we lose that game somehow, but thanks Oregon for all the penalties and constantly going for two.

That and a Bo Pelini team would have gone down 2 scores and the wheels would have completely fallen off and we'd have lost by 35

Man that was so much fun. I can't remember being that happy after a win in many many years. Childhood, maybe.

Here's a thread.

A bunch of racist redneck heathens. Some fanbase we've got going here.

SMH at all the people outraged over this. I really hope we start to see white players take a knee as well. Those ignorant morons' heads will explode.

I wish I had seen that thread earlier, my comment is at the end of the second page (50 ppp).

And to be fair, it's not just Husker fans. I bet other fanbases have similar responses.

That's the same board that banned me, and about 10 others, 2 years ago for calling the owner out for homophobia. Several of the best posters there quit, and we've all been in a Twitter group chat for 2 years that gets probably 2-300 posts a day. My life has improved so much as a result. There are a lot of awful, awful people that post there.

Every fanbase has idiots. That's a fact.

More importantly, you guys are 4-0, you're overcoming the kind of mental midgetry and bad luck that cost you game after game last year, the B1G West outside of Wisconsin is Charmin-soft and Mike Riley even correctly went for it on 4th and 1.

When you make the B1G championship game does Riley get a 10 year extension Ferentz style?

If he wins the B1G, I have no problem giving him an extension. But I don't think he wants to coach into his 80s.

Checking the schedule, you guys should be 7-0 with Wisconsin coming into town. Should be fun

*going to Camp Randall

But yeah, it's a good possibility.

I'm so impressed at the job Riley has done. We're no longer losing our minds whenever anything remotely bad happens in a game, and Husker football is fun again. 23rd in Sagarin, 17th in F/+ ...I'll take it

The goal for Nebraska is to win titles. Just getting to the championship is no better than Pelini did.

Given time, recruiting can pick up and we should be able to win that game.
