Tom Osborne’s apparently told Bo Pelini he’s gone if he can’t beat Oklahoma this coming weekend:
"He told me to win the game. He told me if I don't win, I'm fired," Pelini joked at his weekly news conference Tuesday.
The kicker is that Osborne lost the first five games he coached against Oklahoma, finally winning in 1978.
"He's been away from coaching long enough, in his mind he didn't lose any," Pelini said.
Think maybe these two guys are doing well with each other?
Want to feel better about our chances against Oklahoma? ESPN’s Big 12 blogger Tim Griffin comes up with some insight as to how badly the Sooners are missing linebacker Ryan Reynolds.
I notice in the comments section on that Griffin article that some Sooner fan is whining that one guy shouldn’t make that big a difference to a defense. The real reason is Venables sucks, he says.
To which I say - if that’s the case, then sit Sam Bradford if you don’t think one guy can’t make that much difference. Oh, that’s different he might say. That’s the offense. Defensive players can be swapped like lug nuts.
Idiot.
Even Matt at C&C wonders why Sooners fans can’t be happy. Hey, you’re winning the Cob of the Week Voting by a long shot! Happy now?
But wait, there’s more bad news for Oklahoma! Order now and you’ll get Another key advantage for Nebraska - we’re going to play a whole gob of linebackers in place of injured Phillip Dillard.
Imagine the look on Bob Stoops face when he sees us playing 14 guys on defense.
Okay, it’s a lousy joke. Here.… feel better.…

Isn't
that the last time we beat a top 20 team? I believe it was.
Here is why I think we win on Saturday. That game above was the last time we beat a top 20 team and we are do to upset someone so why not OU??? Afterall we are the team that stopped their 57 game win streak. And they broke our hearts so many times in the 70s and 80s that it is time to turn the tables and do it to them.
NU 28 OU 25

If NU holds OU to 25
then they get their blackshirts. Oh and how does OU score 25? Is there a safety in there? Does Suh block a few extra points? Does that even add up?
You can't possibly be a scientist if you mind people thinking that you're a fool.

Perhaps we lead 28-17 so they go for two to cut the lead to three.
