texas tech
and KU tied 7-7 in the first. TT scored their second offensive play and now KU has just responded.
Kerry Meier

stupid question
OK i’ve been on vacation for the past two weeks, has Bo handed out the black shirts yet?
omg
I didn’t even have time to do my picks this week….. or missed it. Not that I’ve been doing any good in pick ’em games, but I was in 7th place at Rocky Top Talk.

hope
you atleast got some time to relax. i had two weeks off (spent in NJ) but none of it was relaxing…too much running around.
well
it was all for business. I got out some in NOLA, but Wisconsin was just work.

we're at 4-3
so, given there are like 38 bowls now, 6 wins will get us a bowl.

I believe
what happened was that the coaches (Bo) figured out after the Missouri game that he can’t force this team to be something they’re not, so they’ve gone with a quick-pass offense over constantly trying to run the ball out of heavy sets. The offense appears to be much more comfortable, and they’re playing like it now.
So…. much better. Reason for hope.

Baylor
nice screw up early on the illegal sub penalty.
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!

nice
start by the Husker defense. beautiful, man. Good tackling.
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!
Corn Nation!
Well
it looks like the D came to play on the first series. Hope that continues. Looked like Paul should have went right on that punt return and he might have had more yards. To bad he didn’t have eyes in the back of his head. LOL
holy cow
Baylor’s defense can’t tackle? Looks like they swarmed Lucky on that play and he picks up 8
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!

nice
block on the left side out there on that option. probably could have called holding on that play

finally
a scramble by Ganz.
I think it will help if they have to respect him running.

these
sportsmanship commercials … where people don’t like other people catcalling them.
If I don’t care if people make fun of me, then it’s okay for me to yell at the refs? I’m thinking that fits me pretty well.

personal foul.

egad
first quarter is over.
and we’re not looking that great. defense is sloppy.
offense is just making small mistakes that are kiling them.
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!
Corn Nation!
Well
we only had one bad play and one bad series on d and the offense has moved it well just needs to get it in the end zone. Not bad overall
okay

what the hell
did they call Steinkuhler for?
I ’effing hate it when they make these calls and we never have a clue.
hitting someone who “was not in the play”? WTF is that?
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!
Corn Nation!
first half
two personal fouls on Cody Glenn lead to two touchdowns. I thought both were marginal calls, but I guess I’m an old school guy – I expect people to get hit hard on the sidelines, and the facemask call he let go and didn’t use it to bring the guy down.
Otherwise, offense has been pretty decent. Defense is still making those small mistakes that lead to big plays for the opponent, ala that last drive by Baylor.
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!

Tech is beating the snot out of Kansas – 42-14.

that shouldn't

Hey
I am happy with the win and the way the team is shaping up. Are we making mistakes?? Yes. Can they be fixed?? Yes. Got to like when you are not playing your best football and still winning. What will happen when we quit making the mistakes. It would be nice if we would find that out next week against OU. Would love nothing more then to beat them to become bowl eligable.
On
the other hand…I would love to see Texas win out and OU win out with losses by Penn St. and Alabama making Tex. and OU 1 and 2 and in the MNC game. Two teams from the Big XII playing for the championship. Would that be the quickest way to a playoff??? If so then I would take a one point loss next week and be happy. It is only because that is what would be best for college football.
ha
we could argue that ’til the cows came home.
