Thursday Night Open Thread

by Jon Johnston on Sep 29, 2011 7:21 PM CDT in Game Threads

Hey! There's a game on tonight - South Florida vs Pittsburgh - if you can stand to watch another Pitt game.

I'm late, mostly because I'm getting ready to go to Madison, and the enormity of the game is starting to hit me. I have no idea how I'm going to drive five hours tomorrow without drooling all over myself and driving off the road.

Anyway - here's your open thread! Discuss openness!!! WOOHOOO!!!

plus

the amount of requests for interviews, roundtables, etc coming into the web site is crazy, so it’s been more than I expected this week.

Sloppy

Pitt fumbled and lost the ball their first drive. USF just had the ball at the 30 and could have tied, but then with penalties didn’t get a chance to make it. still 10-7 Pitt

'Evening.

So who here actually thinks we win it this saturday?

I’m bipolar on this, at times I think wisconsin kicks our ass, at times I think we win a close one.

by Fake Pelini on Sep 29, 2011 8:30 PM CDT via mobile reply actions

I'm the same way

by ~OnlyJade~ on Sep 29, 2011 8:32 PM CDT up reply actions

well, having to write a bunch of predictions

I’m getting tired of all the “Nebraska’s going to lose” stuff. I’m guessing the team will be getting pretty tired of it too by the time they take the field.

Read an article on ESPN today

had us loosing by 14.

by ~OnlyJade~ on Sep 29, 2011 8:40 PM CDT up reply actions

it's insane!

I don’t remember the last time NU was this much of an underdog. But I hope Jon is right, if the D steps up and resembles anything from last year, we can definitely win it.

Enjoy the game Jon

Thanks for starting the sign thread, hopefully HuskerFreak found what he was looking for.

Assuming there will be an open thread for the game Saturday. I’m actually headed to ATL for a 24 hour charity bike ride that begins at 2pm that day so won’t be able to watch but will check in via phone from time to time.
GBR! Errrr… BLACK

oh yeah

just because I’m not here doesn’t mean there won’t be threads….

there will still be a Friday night thread, early Saturday and game threads, and someone should be around to open up more if needed.

Done

And it works pretty slick too. Using it now as we head into St Louis on I70.

Flipped it on 15 minutes ago

Have we seen….offense tonight? Knowing the Big East, its probably been more of a lack of defense.
