Just finished watching some EPL soccer
Perfect appetizer for college football – main course starts around 2:30.
btw
You might have noticed, but there’s been a site update recently that changed the appearance of some buttons, graphics, etc, and some of the formatting.
The unfortunate downside to that – there’s a bug that’s forcing you to log in each time you visit the site instead of keeping you logged in. I don’t think it’s hitting everyone, but if you’re having that problem, the site guys are aware of it, and are working on a fix.

Devin Gardner's in the game
So there’s something interesting. He just made a beautiful fade throw, but put a bit too much air under it. Went for a long gain instead of a TD.

So taking the kids to the worlds largest corn maze in Hudson Colorado. Then my sons lacrosse game. Home just in time for watch party at my house. Looking forward to an old fashion blowout flashback to 1994 or ’95

Good afternoon
Fox has decided that the Cardinals at Cubs is more important that football so I’m watching Michigan St crush N. Colorado. It doesn’t even feel like a game day to me.. I have to go into work at 9pm tonight, so I’ll probably miss the 4th quarter of the game.
9pm
wow….
4th quarter – probably only worth watching for backups.. although that could be interesting.

Just turned on KSU/UCF
Doesn’t look like I missed much.
no
so far KSU has managed to shoot themselves in the foot, and UCF’s defensive line is playing fairly well.

Pictures found around from the KSU weather delay
Take on today's game in Lincoln?
59-0
Anything but a shutout and the Blackshirts should be revoked.
My folks are Jack Rabbit alumn!!
Good thing this isn’t during Hobo Days in Brookings!
K-State looks weak
43 total yard on offense.
And the UFC QB is running wild on them.

I think I heard DT had 7 carries for 20 yards just before half
The Flying Pelinis better watch that UCF defense tape closely!
BOTC claims Bill is holding every back to beat NU
I hope losing to UFC is worth that.

If NU loses to KSU the apocolypse has occurred.
That team is so one dimensional that it isn’t even funny. Play Hagg as a LB, hold Thomas to 150 or fewer rushing yards, leave town with a 14 point victory. Book it.
if they can't handle UFC's QB
then Martinez et al. are going to have a hay day.

they practice booing at the Cowboy games
when the Cowboys go for a play with 35 seconds and fumble it,.,,,,they boo.
When they kneel they boo.
Is UCF that good on defense?
K-State is losing 10-13…and Daniel Thomas only has 50 yards rushing? Looks like someone finally slowed down the D-train.
I’m still hoping K-state pulls it out in the end…it would be nice for Nebraska and K-State to both be 4-0 when we play.
Kansas State
has 3:30 to pull this out, 3rd and 2, 41 yard line

It’s definitely good to see someone with a D less potent than Nebraska stop Daniel Thomas and it’s encouraging to see how completely inept Texas’ offense is.

Anyone out there buying the game tonight?
I was all set to listen on the radio, but a friend of mine bought it and invited us over, free of charge… sweeet. I just couldn’t bring myself to drop 40 bones on the Jackrabbits. So I get to see it, but won’t be around for the game thread.

Not buying it.

UCLA 20 Texas 3
This game is for Texas what the Iowa State game was for Nebraska last year. Even now I’ve still seen some Texas fans bring up that loss on message boards. I guess they can shut up now.
I still want them to win though because a loss today takes a lot out of the significance of Oct. 16th. And if they can’t beat UCLA, what do you think Oklahoma will do to them?
But it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to root for Texas
I can’t do it. The best I can do is be neutral. Whatever happens, happens.

think Texas will pull this out…. then Garrett Gilbert will be a comeback hero….

Most idiotic comments of the day: Part one
1. ESPN analyst breaking down Florida and Texas’ troubles on offense. “Replacing Tebow and McCoy is not easy. These are iconic players, some of the best players ever to play college football”
-WTF? Tebow, I can see. But McCoy? I remember his last two games being thrown around by Nebraska and getting knocked out by Alabama. Hardly iconic, especially without a title…
2. ESPN/ABC comments before halftime highlights of theMichigan game. “Dennard Robinson saw limited action, but was dazzling as usual”
-As usual. You mean “as usual”, as in…the last 3 games? The guy has hardly played, and suddenly they are acting as if we’ve been seeing it for 3 years.
These morons will say anything…maybe they know that nobody is paying attention. (except me).
i'd have to agree
with them on one thing. Gilbert is no McCoy replacement. McCoy continually bailed the Texas offense out with his feet. Gilbert isn’t going to do that…. probably,ever.

No matter what
Even if Texas comes into Lincoln 3-2 they are still going to give their best shot and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was close.
But at the same time, if it isn’t close, a blowout over a 3-2 Texas team is just as good as a blowout over a 5-0 Texas team because…it’s Texas. And all Husker fans want to BEAT TEXAS
