PrintWell, it's another late run for this week's Cob nominees. This week, we've got quite a few candidates to work with, starting with our own.
Nebraska Receivers Ted Gilmore suggests that Nebraska left five touchdowns on the field with drops. The more I think about this game, if receivers catch half of the passes they drop, not only does Nebraska beat the Longhorns, I think they likely cover the spread as well, since it would also loosen up the 'Horns defense.
Kansas Two weeks to prepare for your in-state rival...and you lose 59-6???
Texas A&M Nine points against Missouri, who played without Aldon Smith?
Ohio State Well, you used to be undefeated, didn't you?
Dan Hawkins I wasn't going to include Colorado initially, until I read this little tidbit. Our favorite coach that nobody can afford to buy out decided to go for two after Colorado's first two touchdowns, and the Puffs being what they are, they failed both times. On Colorado's final score of the game, they could only kick the extra point to pull within a field goal of Baylor. If they had kicked the extra points, chances are they would have had a chance to tie the game at that point.

The right answer is, of course, Nebraska. But...
to hold true to my statement from last week’s “Cob of the Week,” any time I have the option to vote for Dan Hawkins, I will do so, and unjustifiably blindly, if I must.
I remember at time when Nebraska was big time
And used to let the results on the field speak for themselves. Sadly it seems like it’s been almost a decade since Nebraska was actually beaten by anyone. It’s always excuse A or excuse B.
If Nebraska catches those passes they cover the spread? If Texas catches their passes and does go into an offensive shell in the second half we beat NU by four scores.
Again you have yet to gain more than 350 yards of offense in 8 quarters against Will Muschamp. I’m not sure how you can look at that fact feel anything but dominated.

I'm failing to see your logic.
Unless you had some swamp voodoo witch on your sideline casting spells on our receivers, it was internal concentration errors that prevented them from catching those balls.
That said, Mushchamp dominated NU’s running game, no doubt about that and no denying it. But, I did not see the Texas DB’s breaking up those passes, which makes it all the more embarrassing and warrants the “Cob of the Week.”
But, by all means, keep stalking Corn Nation with your mobile phone.

No, Muschamp also activated that guy at Buffalo Wild Wings...
…who turns on laser beams and sprinklers to break up plays…

What Can You Expect
From a guy with a username like “flamingmonkeyass”? Enough said!

It just never fails
Just because somebody comes in with logic and states their opinion “against” Nebraska they get ripped. Here’s his logic…..you got beat. You can never just say “we got beat”, “they were better than us”. It’s always how “we” didn’t do this or do that. It’s always “if we did this they wouldn’t have beat us”. When you say things like “if receivers catch half of the passes they drop”….well what if Gilbert makes the correct read on the 5 or 6 plays that he missed? Could those have been 5 or 6 scores for Texas? Oh and if the correct play gets called Texas could have scored on that last drive?
It’s always the same man, take off those corn cob glasses and take a step back and look at the big picture.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
Do I start posting links from BON’s week 4 and 5 now, or do I let you quietly sneak back into the shadows of obscurity and shut the hell up?
Take option 2 and save yourself the embarrassment. Now go away and worry about the rest of your 2-loss season.

One score games
Are the antithesis of domination. A one score game is one play away from a win or a loss.
If Texas beat Nebraska in Lincoln 66-3 or 34-12 the last two times I’d say we were dominated.
Total yardage: 339-362 in favor of Nebraska
The differences in the offensive statistics are marginal except one, turnovers. 1-0 in favor of Texas.
But I do give Texas for executing their game flawlessly and winning with discipline.

I think he meant domination in the sense that
the game could have been 8 quarters long and your offense wouldn’t have sniffed the endzone.
Not so much domination from the Texas offense.
Oh!
Well, in that sense absolutely not. It wasn’t Texas’ defense that kept the Huskers from scoring.
But again, credit Texas- they executed their game flawlessly yada, yada, yada…

No It was just the Texas jinx.
Take a good look at all the Texas Nebraska games even, Tom Osborn was bit buy this curse.

Gotta go with Kansas
Dropsies hurt- bad, 2 pt conversions- a 50/50 shot, A&M- did anyone really think they were that good anyhow? Kansas- a bye week to prepare and they let Chase Coffman look like Peyton Manning and get oblitherated at home against their biggest rival, talk about egg on the face!
