Heh...looks like you had a game thread scheduled anyway.
Watching a bit of Texas/Oklahoma, it looks like they got the same refs that were in Lincoln last week…and they aren’t any better…

k
trying to figure out how to find this game. ….. what time I need to leave ….. what’s going on.
was in FQ ’til about 6:00 am. not heavy drinking, but after this week, the lack of sleep is kind of wearing on me.
plus, I really miss Mrs CN and the kids. Funny how it is without being around them. They drive me nuts… but without them, well, screw life. :)
TT – can we win this game?

No, TT got a first down. They ran the ball up the gut on 1st down.
But now we’ve got a 2nd and 3.

So far so good...
NU’s been effective on screens and running the ball. Now take a shot downfield!

I think a little time on the sideline last week cleared his head a bit...
(I missed most of this quarter due to “daughter” issues, though…)

i mean
two calls on two good plays called back, and you going to argue with me on those calls? ticky tack bullshit.
Go to lubbock and get screwed, right now. I know you Tech guys are lurking, you going to argue with those calls at all? or just take what your effing homer refs are giving you?

…they could have flagged Murtha on the first one for the same damn thing…
(Speaking of which, I really want to know what you guys see in that guy…)

no comment
on Murtha for now.
okay…. shit. I gotta get going.
17-7, half. Not bad, manageable.
seriously, two holding calls that were questionable against the same guy? Welcome to Lubbock. We haven’t learned our lesson yet- be more humble from now on.
We look much better.

I ran up about $5 in text messaging charges from CornBlight once he headed to the airport..
But it was worth it…
He passed along one final comment after the game ended: s**t.

Take heart
you’re rebuilding. We got Pinkel Factored.
Again. I’ll take the crow, now.

Pinkel did not cost you that game…IMO….
Okie state played pretty well….and Chase threw three picks.

Good effort by the Huskers, and hoooooly crap what a game plan. Most teams try to control the clock for 40 minutes against Tech, but few actually accomplish it. I don’t know what to attribute it to. The Tech D didn’t blitz as much as we’ve all been led to believe they would, not much went right on defense for the Red Raiders.
We’re going to absolutely destroy A&M next week because of this game. I hope you guys are happy.

Oh, and don’t complain about officiating. That unnecessary roughness call on that sack that eventually led to a touchdown? Puhlease. That pass-interference non-call with 3 seconds left? Puhlease.
Let’s all just come together and admit that Big XII officials suck at their job.

Hey
he freaking punched him in the throat. Go back and watch it and then look at what the ref says to Leach. He clearly throws his forearm indicating that the player threw a forearm. It was a stupid play by your defender. Same as the one by ours.
What about the missed face mask or the two bogus holding calls before half. We have every reason to bitch.
