    It is the measure, fan base and fan loyalty demand that result.

    Not sure if NIL, Geography, coaching staff, etc., have anything to do with it, but what me and the rest of Husker Nation witnessed last night was Iowa State in the 80's.

    Seemed to me Rhules focus wasn't on Minn all week, thus the 7-1 record the nuclear rodents hold over NU during Flecks term.

    OL is pathetic. Rhule can't make to many waves though because its Dylans uncle that is the OLC. But that's what you get with nepotism, and a 5* QB that moves like he has a refrigerator on his back.

    In 1992, Dr. Tom benched the senior starter Mike Grant and started a True Freshman against Missouri. The next Tommie Frazier is on the bench right now, name is TJ Lateef. Just hope we don't lose this kid.

    Oh, and the DL couldn't put pressure on the QB if his name was Nixon, and their's was the Deep Throat Black Shirts.

    I don't think I noticed the Drew Allar Dodge Ram Truck commercials till recently. Seems odd that now I see them and he's not playing, Franklin's not coaching and Penn State is losing.

    Bout time the Husker got his dander up enough to come back and gripe. ;)

    Ya know AJ, I think since I now have no skin in the game, I might actually make it up to Omaha just for the spectacle. I expect some guided tours should I make good on this threat. :cool:

    Well I was surprised when Vandy was the favorite over LSU, then only Saban picked LSU on GameDay and Vandy just went out and beat them. Vandy fans didn't even rush the field.

    I was surprised that Pavia went down rather than score at the end. I mean sure it would give LSU the ball down 14 with 2 minutes to work with, but that's miracle territory. But it worked as they took a knee 3 times and game over.

    Both Michigan and Oklahoma bounced back with solid wins today. Mateer seems to be back on track and LaNorris Sellers seems to be going the opposite direction. Some had him in the top 10 of the NFL draft and like other preseason top QB's like Arch, Nussmeier, Allar, Klubnak, etc things haven't gone as well as hoped.

    Ohio State leads Wisconsin 17-0 at the half. It appears with the Buckeyes conservative game plan, not to embarrass Luke Fickell and the Badgers.

    What a game in Athens it's been back and forth and the Dawgs are now ahead 40-35 and seem to have old MO in their favor. This reminds me of how they beat Tenn earlier this season.

    Looking like Texas Tech's perfect season is going to end in Tempe. It's been a defensive battle and Tech on the short end at 16-7 3rd qtr. There is certainly enough time for them to rally though.

    Dawgs win, and dominated the 2nd half.

    Arkansas is keeping pace with the Aggies in the delayed 1st half, Aggies holding on to a 1 point lead 21-20.

    SMU has added to Dabo's misery and beat him at home 35-24, I don't think Dabo is in danger of getting Franklined to be sure, but I would be shocked if his AD isn't going Dabo what do we have to do to fix this?
    Clemson was without starting QB Cade Klubnik who was injured in the BC win last week. But his replacement, Christopher Vizzina, had what on the stat sheet looked like a great game. 317yds/3TD's.

    BOBDA!!...Just so you know, I suffered with some Brewers fans at the bar here in lincoln...I can only think that my luck with the Cards and Huskers the last few years are synonymous with my luck and pulling for our NLC division....as in "I could open a funeral parlor today, and people would stop dying tommorow.

    Or even better..."it could be raining vaginas, and I'd get hit by a penis". So it might be my fault. :(

    Here's the deal...empty nesters...I have a huge basement with bar, fridge, sink, popcorn machine, 2 BR's and private bath. Save some money, we're only 40 mins away...you just gotta drive...I'll navigate.

    Aggies escape the hills of Arkansas with a 45-42 win over the Hogs.

    Not a lot of offense in the Texas/Kentucky game 7-0 Longhorns at the half.

    Well the last play of the half in Tenn/Alabama. Tenn was inside the 3 yd line and hoping to score to make it 16-14 game. Instead they throw a pick 6, 98 yd pick six!! Now it's 23-7 Tide, what an end to the first half.

    Looking at the stats neither team can run the football.

    Hard to believe M/MSU is the NBC night game next week. I was betting Peacock or Cable Access.

    Also, Rutgers homecoming game is not going well.

    Terry, what’s up with Manning? Another very lackluster game to say the least. We’re halfway through the season. Is it the receivers? The OL?
