Huskers Lose to Cocks - The "Fire Everybody" Post Game Thread

The 2011 season comes to an end on a bad note. It wasn't so much that Nebraska lost, it's in the way they did it - by cutting themselves with a razor blade and slowly bleeding themselves to death in the second half.

It wasn't so much that Nebraska lost to a top-ten South Carolina team from the best conference in college football - it's that they did it in horrifying fashion. A complete lack of consistency, maturity, and discipline.

Man, it's going to be a long offseason.

BTW, let's try to keep it civil. I am not in a good mood.

Let's keep it clasy folks...

No trolling allowed.

Go play on the highway

:)

Call for Carnes!

Can he play defensive back?

Well at least

we aren’t the only B1G team to lose today (see: everyone else)

Has the B1G won a Bowl game yet??
How sad is it

that Illinois and Purdue are the only B1G to win their bowls so far.

The best of the worst!
will there be a post game?
The second half was the post game. Just a big USC party it was.
Was that what that was? Pelini was giving his interview to the ref?
I'm not

a Pelini hater, but this was pretty damn frustrating. Next year needs to be an improvement.

AJ the Hater brought up an interesting stat...

Ever since Steve Pederson fired Frank Solich after going 9-3, Nebraska has lost at least 4 games each season.

Why would you bring up Frank?

NU has not been the same since TO retired, or at least his recruits left the program.

Even Tom Osborne would have had difficulty following up 60-3...
So you're on the Way Back Machine to Frank?

Why? What does that have to do with where this team is now? Frank is gone, and I still think thats best. Bo’s here now and has problems to deal with.

Well, 2004 to 2007 never happened...
What is that

The Solich Curse?

AJ is a moron and you know that Mike

What the hell does he know

That was embarrassing.

Oh well. Corn Flakes up tomorrow with reactions..

That should be a good read!!!
Pelini`s gotta go

Really you fire Solich for losing 3 and this guy loses 4 every year including a major let down game, NW or Iowa State every year, Neb better than this

Firing Frank was a mistake.

Firing Bo would be too.

Agree, especially with Bo.

I’m old enough to remember the screams for Osborne’s head early in his career.

Oh red,,,,,you're dating yourself,,,lol
No,

I’m dating Rex. ; )

Solich got fired more for losing 10 in 2 years

Not to mention he took over a national title winning team, Pelini took over the fighting Billy C’s.

yet...

our roster won’t be nearly as talented in Year 6 of Pelini compared to Year 1 of Pelini

Player of the game

goes to an ejected player? That’s setting a great example for the kide.

didn't it go to Connow Shaw, SC's quarterback?
Nope.

It went to the upstanding Mr. Jeffery.

what? really??
I'm almost positive.

Anyone else watch the presentation?

I didn't see it

but they did say “first time the MVP had been ejected.”

About to enter numbing chemical bliss

Hopefully I don’t wake up in a hospital tomorrow.

I'm not embarrassed. Disapointed but not embarrassed.

Big Mo is a fickle thing. After Dennard’s fist-a-cuffs this out come does not surprise me.

I'm embarrassed for the player's and coaches' loss of composure.

I’m okay with losing but not like that. That being said, the worst that should befall Pelini is a fine for the team’s behavior.

I soooooo

miss the discipline and self-control of Osborne’s players, whether it be personal fouls, or just the lack of off-side penalties.

Why?

It’s not like they are intentially doing it. You think Spurrier gives a crap that Jeffery went out of the game? I mean crap how many times did he suspend and then start garcia?

Because we're not South Carolina?
I understand that we are Nebraska and shit like that shouldn't happen

but to imply a fine on Pelini when the other team was just as blatant in behavior is kinda silly

I suppose it's an emotional response on my part and would ultimately make Pelini quit, leaving us with bigger problems...

But else can you do to make it clear that it’s not acceptable?

It's times like this I'm glad T.O. is our AD

I think he will have a chat with Bo about this game.

Your statement is true and accurate.

I expect Pelini, his staff and this team to take a lesson from this.

I thought he learned his lesson against A&M last year

Still, the same garbage this year from Bo

On the plus side, he more or less made it to January!

Progress!

Let's be honest

Only b/c the B1G has better bowl tie-ins

Haha. Good call.

But hey, December is still progress, right?

This is true

He seems more subdued this year and was proud of him

Then he showed his true personality this game and everyone loses it.

Well Wisconsin

You’re the B1G’s only hope to avoid another winless New Year’s.

Michigan State

still in it… barely, but still

I hope it's a fun shootout

a la the Alamo Bowl.

I'm surprised I'm not angrier.

I mean, it sucks to lose that way, but I took it well somehow.

I didn't

I’m still steaming.

Same here.

Losing a competitive game is one thing. Losing like an undisciplined group of miscreants in a January bowl game is unacceptable.

This x1000

With a side of fluky first half breakdowns to go please.

those aren't flukes

That’s standard Pelini football. Mistake after mistake after mistake. Meanwhile, the coach screams at the refs and places all blame on them. Poor, poor leadership.

Amen to you sir
Oh a ton of this falls on Bo

And I said as much earlier in the 2nd half thread. I shouldn’t have emphasized “fluky” (even though a few of those definitely were) but NU kept USC in it with dumb breakdowns in the first half and gave the game away with a total loss of concentration in the second.

So then what about the first half?

The majority of the first half worked well. Do you think they are not making the adjustments in the 2nd half or what?

The coaching staff lost their composure and didn't appear to make any attempt to rein in their players' emotions.

We were playing emotional football and that’s our worst kind.

Agreed

Gilmore had it right when he said the 3rd & 18 blitz was an emotional play call. That was the nail int the coffin.

This is my main gripe with the coaches – their emotion gets in the way of execution. Poor leadership.

Our first half miscues led to the floodgates opening in the 2nd

1. Abdullah fumble
2. Martinez pick
3. Inexplicably not covering the Hail Mary after USC called a TO
4. Blocked PAT

Our solid play in other areas was negated by all of that. This isn’t a one game thing. This is what Husker football has become. We should have led by 14 points at the half. Instead, we were down by 2.

So then what?

A coacing change again?

You really want to go through that again?

No, we can't fire him

We are stuck. We need to hit rock bottom before we can fire him so potential coaches won’t be scared to come to Lincoln.

Glad that's settled.

FIRE THE ASSISTANTS.

Cotton
See now that's something we can agree on

Damn you Barney

2nd that!

False starts are too damn common. I’m so tired of seeing the lack of concentration. It starts with him. Get rid of him, and then get a QB coach to fill the extra coaching spot. Let Garrison have sole possession of the OL.

Normally I would be.

I don’t know why I’m not.

That Oregon helmet should not be allowed. Holy reflection.
Who becomes the national champ if:

Okie State wins and ’Bama wins. You have 3 one loss teams….

AND OMG look at those helmets, can you really wear mirrors on the field?

Bama because the system is stupid.
here's the thing

maybe I mentioned it earlier, but at one point Clowney, their freshman freak DE, was across the line of scrimmage before our left tackle even took a step. it’s no wonder Yoshi had so many false start penalties.

but – what? we have had slow tackles for so long….

Yoshi pissed in my Wheaties today.
Hey Jon,,,

did i miss something on that JLew post,,or just read it wrong??

You thought

he was replying to you, but he was replying to a troll-like creature.

Oh,,,my bad, sorry JLew.

I wasn’t trolling,,,honest!! LOL

Clowny has been doing that to tackles all season.

He’s a beast.

Looked like the lose against wisconsin
it did

when we imploded, we imploded this year.

We looked like a young team this year.
if you're gonna do it

do it B1G

Oh, that's a rec.

“Nebraska 2011 – 100%, either direction.”

Sparty 115 seconds

85 yards, make that 70 yards to go. No timeouts.

Michigan State

executing very well….

Here's the statistic of the game...

On the opening drive of the second half, Taylor Martinez ran 36 yards to the South Carolina 8 yard line just one minute in. First and goal, Huskers.

Nebraska’s total offense the rest of the game? One yard.

my god

thats so bad it’s unbelievable

For realz? Tim Beck needs to be fired immediately
That's not on Beck...

The offensive line was being dominated by South Carolina like Miami did in 1992…

I wasn't serious! :)

I’m not on the fire everyone train.

To expand on that...

-8 yards on the screen chuck to Kyler Reed, and 7 yards gained by Burkhead to set up the missed field goal. Net offense: -1 yards.

Nebraska’s drives the rest of the game: 4, 8, 5, and -15 yards.

I may throw up now.
Absolutely unbelievable

Especially with how consistently good the offense had been up to that point.

can you say meltdown???

Michigan State

down to the two yard line….

called a TD on the field, but it should come back

Well how about that

You’d think 4 Cousins tosses to the endzone should get it done. Terrible meltdown by Georgia’s defense there.

Good game, guys.

I know you don’t want to hear from the opposition right now so I’ll keep it brief. Things I learned about the Huskers:

  • Burkhead is insanely good
  • Fans are super
  • Might maybe just might have had a few calls go against them today

It wasn’t a clean game for either team. A few more chips fell our way today is all—99 out of 100 times, Alshon doesn’t score on the Hail Mary, that PAT doesnt get blocked, etc. Good luck next year…I never really felt one way or the other about Nebraska before this game, but I’ll pull for you guys from here on out! (Unless we meet again, that is…)

Thanks,,,Congrats to the Cocks!!!
Good fans are always welcome.

Good win for your team. I’m still smiling about the Jeffery/Dennard tussle.

thanks

and good luck to you guys in the SEC next season

Nice words,

and I appreciate them. Now, please hand me a Kleenex while I continue to sob. : )

It was a great team to play and South Carolina will do some damage next year

we just wish Big East refs weren’t involved in what looked to be a great match-up.

Yeah, I cringed when I saw Big East refs.

Only thing that could have been worse would be Ron Cherry’s staff.

They were definitely giving each other da business
But the officiating wasn't really that bad until later in the second half.

And had our team kept their cool and executed, we wouldn’t have noticed.

But really the first half and second half were completely different in calls

Granted some of that could be on us (Yoshi) but seriously the tone changed in the second half

Thanks

You guys have some awesome players and Shaw’s a gamer.

We’re not mad at you guys, we’re just embarrassed with our teams’ loss of composure in the second half.

Best of luck to you next year.

team's*

Singular.

Hey, don't disparage your team's play.

You guys won that game.

We don’t live in those 99 other universes. :)

Congratulations, and please, win the SEC next season.

Good job in the second half...

South Carolina absolutely dominated the Huskers down the stretch.

Bo faithful

For all the Bo faithful……. How many years / bowl games will it take till you are ready to move on with a new coach? This is as good as it it will ever get…. If you like 4 loss 5 loss seasons then yeah Bo is your guy.

I'll take 9 win seasons over Bill Callahan.

That being said, if the teams continue to be undisciplined at the end of the season, it’ll get tougher and tougher to accept.

My limit is ten seasons.

20 years ago, they said that Tom Osborne wouldn't be able to win...

I’ll muddle through and push Bo to figure out what went wrong.

It's kind of hard to talk about firing someone who's never won fewer than 9 games

This year was a step back, but Nebraska is far better now than when Bo found it. The man just finished his 4th year coaching. He’s still pretty inexperienced. I’m prepared to give him a pretty long leash.

Considering the new situations this year I don't think it was a step back

considering the schedule but yeah he still needs time to mature more

Nebraska Fans drive me bananas

Solich had to go after 9-3
Callahan had to go for obvious reasons
Now Pelini has to go because he loses a bowl game

Craaaaazy talk.

UGA-MSU tied up!!!
Should be a good finish!
Must be 0-0 cuz that's hte only way a B1G school can be tied with an SEC school
wtf

is that ref on his knees?

no

Was he Tebowing???
no

just incredibly short.

of course, it didn’t help he’s standing next to football players

We are lucky to be 9-4

All four losses were fairly lopsided, save for Northwestern, but the Wildcats earned that victory fair and square. They were clearly the better team that day.

Now, look at the wins. We schooled MSU, but were really fortunate to catch them after their tOSU, Michigan, Wisconsin stretch. A fresher Spartan team would have been more dangerous. We barely beat an average PSU team despite all the distractions in Happy Valley. It took a comeback for the ages to beat Ohio State.

true

but if you had a few plays go the other direction…. oh fuck it.

we were a sucky 9-4

Next year, our year!
What flavor Kool-Aide you drinking???LOL
Haven't you tried the news flavor?

Vodka.

Or Jon's favorite,,,Gin!
Here's the frustrating thing

We played Wisconsin even for 20 minutes. Northwestern was a derp fest, as was Michigan. This team had flashes of being REALLY good. But then they do crap that’s almost unbelievably bad. I still think we’re close, we just have to get out of our own way. That’s the next step Pelini has to make as the head coach.

I guess Osborne believes Pelini can take that step.

Since I’m just a microbiologist, I’ll have to trust a legendary football coach to make that call.

It’s his paycheck and legacy, after all.

GA / MSU

How tall is that ref.? 4’11"

And there goes Sparty

Barring an epic fail by Georgia.

Mark Dantonio

looks in shock

To be ahead?
after the interception in overtime
Rambo,,LOL,,,he's a badass!!
Uhhhhhh

Georgia must have mad confidence in their kicker.

Okay

Armchair AD’s: Who are you going to hire? Who are you going to bring in next year and put up 10 or 11 wins? Who is that person going to be?

Excellent point.

Why is there so much impatience. Bo’s gathered his coaches and has a year in the new conference under his belt.

And take a gander at mighty Texas, with it’s hot-shot recruits. Stuff happens in CFB>

But but...

It’s totally rational to expect 18-22 year olds to behave like stoic Greek philosophers for 60 minutes in a winner-take-all respect match against the SEC!

/hang head in shame

Chris Peterson

Boise State

he's not going anywhere

I wouldn’t either.

That worked out well for Colorado.

/Dan Hawkins’d

If Colorado was smart (and they aren't)

they would have snagged peterson from the start

But but it was totally Hawkins' team!
Yeah that theory blew up when CU lost to Baylor

Pre-RGIII

Wha???

Everybody said Hawk was a great hire at the time. In hindsight, CU should have obviously hired Peterson, but I challenge u to find 1 article aging Hawk was a bad hire and CU should have hired Peterson. CHALLENGE.

He's not going anywhere

He’s got his own little kingdom up there taking talented kids from the northwest while the Pac-12 teams focus on SoCal

What's the expectation for next year?

The non-con is manageable, though USM and Ark St could be tricky at home. Can we scratch out two road wins in the B1G? At NW, MSU, Iowa and Ohio State? That would make 5-3 doable…

11 wins and the Rose Bowl.
hells yeah

is it anything else?

I EVEN LET US LOSE THREE GAMES.
I'm on board for that

but there are question marks on both sides. Will be interesting to see if OL can step up and take control of games.

I think there will be more depth on this team going forward.
Hope so!

I hope that next year we quit hearing about the lack of depth on the OL.

Agreed.

I think this team will show more improvement, the improvement we expected the last two seasons.

Too much weirdness and changes going on, messed with the team’s approach.

Hard to say since our team is bi-polar

However in a world that makes sense:

We should sweep the non-con schedule.

Minnesota and Penn State at home should be gimmies. Should be favored at Iowa with how vast the gap obviously was this year. We’re also favored in Lincoln against a seriously depleted Wisconsin. Ditto at jNW.

In Lincoln against Michigan and at Sparty are tossups I think.

Underdogs at OSU.

So thats what? 9-3 to 11-1 depending?

Wisco won't be that depleted

They have a lot of depth. QB will be an issue, but they will just hand it off to 1 of 12 backs and still be dangerous behind that oline.

They just lost their OC, their o-line coach and I think they've lost coaches on the defensive side too...

Plus their QB situation is very shaky, and Ball and White are jumping to NFL.

Wisconsin will be quite depleted.

3rd string RB is a stud - Melvin Gordon (or something like that)

The offensive coach losses will be huge, but I don’t think that affects them a ton until year 2. They play very disciplined, smart football.

their lost their D-coordinator to NIU this year. Not sure of any other losses.

I didn't put them in the "gimmie" column

But I think its pretty silly to think we won’t be significantly favored unless one of the teams is seriously different than expectations.

I think it's silly

to think we’ll be significantly favored after they punked us by 30 this year. We didn’t belong on the same field as they did that night. Unfortunately, I witnessed it firsthand.

They might be favored but it won't be appropriate.

I’ve spoken to Wisconsin fans.

The last two seasons were anomalies.

Tolzien was a fifth year senior and Wilson is mind-blowingly good at the play-action.

I live in Milwaukee

and watch them every week. They are solid. They score TDs instead of FGs. Rarely turn it over. D has been bad this year, though. Next year will be telling for the D. The O should continue rolling.

Solid but we should be able to outpace them...

And why were their O keep rolling? None of their backup QBs have significant, if any, game experience and neither does their third string QB…!

*RB
they'll still have James White

and their Oline is consistently solid. We should have a much easier time stopping them b/c they’ll be one dimensional

Thought White might jump...?
It's still Wisconsin though.

That’s a lot of change.

I see them with at most 8 wins next season. They may win the Leaders with a 4-4 record (technically, OSU will win it, but since they’re ineligible, Wiscy gets the nod).

The Leaders could be brutal

Kind of like the Pac 12 South

OSU will be the best team in that division

al la USC this year.

Isn't Wisky in contention for another

free agent QB?

Was that Dane Christ? He was to KU

Haven’t heard of anyone else

Gotcha.

Couldn’t remember who it was they were talking about.

Crist decided to go play with CHARLIE.
Yeah as others have said

The home schedule is manageable as well as the road schedule.

We should get to the B1G championship game but I guess we will see

Help me out guys,

I can’t find the game.

Georgia

You. Are. Retarded.

And UGA Misses the FG,,,LOL!!!
Georgia misses!
SEC is going to be committing recruiting violations for kickers.

Just wait.

Meanwhile, I feel bad for Maher, becoming the first Nebraska kicker to miss a FG inside of 40 yards since 2003.

At least it wasn't for a win.
seriously?

is that true, the first one since 2003?

Aye, I saw that ticker pop up just before Maher's miss.
Hmmmm, my beer is frozen!
Beer flavored Icee.
too long in the deep freeze!
/Leaves case of 24 Boulevard Wheats on porch when it's 40 degrees out

/Remembers case a week later when its 20 degrees out

Wheat Popsicle!

Sparty needs a TD!!!
Georgia hits a much tougher field goal

MSU gets a chance to win now.

I'm really fired up for this Rose Bowl. The game should be amazing
Agreed.

Will there be any D in that game?

Fingers crossed for no.
more D than the Alamo Bowl
That's not really saying much is it?
MSU

has to try a FG to stay alive

I gotta say CN friends,,,

For whatever reason, i am not “smash my keyboard” pissed at this loss like i was at the Texass loss for the Big 12 Champ game. I think chatting with all of you here has tamed my rage! Why,,,not sure. Maybe because i have found a home where everyone else feels my pain,,,because the wife don’t understand it!! Just want to say it’s been great chatting, and getting to know all of you, and i’ll be a husker fan, as you all will im sure,,,for LIFE!!!! Now lets have a beer and thank the mastermind behind this crazyness,,,,JON!!!

mastermind....

hahahah

thanks!

It's our "Cheers"

of cyber-space.

Mastermind is not a term

that I have ever heard used in the same sentence as Jon Johnston!

what?

oh… yeah, you usually heard “instigator” – didn’t you? :)

Mind numbing

me thinks

Instigator, yes.

Bastard!
Chickenlegs!
Mother-f’er from Curtis!
JOHNSTOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!

Bastard???
that rings a bell

Inglorious Bastard Master Mind
Jon

I think Jon needs to be fired.

He showed a lack of leadership today in not providing nearly enough angry fire to elevate this team to victory.

Truly disappointing and obviously he had not had enough gin.

Angry Tirades were needing by Jon

and not the great Pelini

yeah

shit. next time I’ll at least have gin….

Disappointing. We should have you run some gassers.
that'd take...

uh… one.

Noon games suck

we need night games to get warmed up :)

+1000

So far my main set back to joining the B1G, the lack of night games.

When does sudden death start?
Annnnnnnd Peliniball strikes again.

Lack of fundamentals, penalties, lack of discipline, turnovers, one-dimensional offense, inability to adjust, overemotional, ineffective. Frustrating as fuck.

And he just promoted one of his BFFs to be DC. This when he had a chance to nab Mike Stoops. Things will not get better soon. 4-loss seasons as far as the eye can see.

I’m just glad this sad sack of a season is over.

Stoops wasn't coming man

Would have been great but…no

Sparty

with a first down. Has the Rose Bowl kicked off yet?

no,

just doing the hand shake.

Sparty

going for FG

I don't know about you guys

But I’m kinda glad I don’t have to watch this team again for eight months. Ew, that game was gross.

This team is like an ugly caterpillar.

In Eight Months, it will emerge from its cocoon as a beautiful butterfly and bring a NC back to Lincoln!

that's a damned good metaphor
FTFY
In Eight Months, it will emerge from its cocoon as a beautiful butterfly and bring pointless NC hype back to Lincoln!
Hey, hype is better than what we had from 2004 to 2007.
delay of game

Sparty

Sparty gets it

after another tough snap and hold

Sparty

almost with the pick off

Could be game over!!!
Georgia

has to try at 47 yard FG…. after a sack

Sparty wins!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats a big win for the Big Ten

Especially since the other 3 early bowls went pretty poorly….and my picks went 0/4 this morning lol.

I just cheered for MSU

I feel odd about that

Go BIG

blocked!!!

at least someone in the conference beats the SEC

How did we beat MSU????
they

had a string of tough games in a row.

and we played well. we didn’t play well today, not even close. we had potential, we just threw it away a lot this season

Agreed!

Self-imposed destructive tendencies doomed many a Cornhusker opportunity this year. Young kids making mistakes.

The universe was feeling chipper.
nice play fake

and beautiful pass

The B1G won a game?

Unpossible.

Against the SEC!

We’re only 1-2 on the day!

hey

that was our 3rd

what?

really?

Purdue, Illinois and MSU

Can you believe this . . .

My wife thinks I need to help put together all this IKEA crap she bought this weekend! I need a trade in. What the hell!

wait

she’s a farm girl. she can’t do it?

Oh, she can

but it is so much more fun to bitch at me all day!!!!!! God, I wish Iowa State would have had good football when she went there. Maybe then she would get it! Damn!

You should suggest a delay.

Otherwise your furniture will be cursed to lose.

Oregon

zone read gets completely stuffed!

Oregon helmets are so cool!!!
Shit green uni's,,,,not so much!!
They're distracting.

Look at Wisconsin’s D! “OH SHINY.”

Agreed!

All this uniform BS is ridiculous! Just another example of out of control excess in college football.

Hey, if you're gonna spend,,,,

Spend B1G!!!

Being a Harley owner,,,Chrome is GOOD!!!
In the appropriate places

on a Harley, yes
on a helmet, no

lol

What a start.

man

went upstairs for a minute…. and Oregon scores.

Totally off subject,,,

Im going to do a recipe,,,,Smoked Corn! Thoughts??

you can smoke corn?

what?

Should be able to.

I bet you could smoke a Snickers bar.

Even a Twinkie! LOL
Oh yea,,,good stuff!
Monte Ball running wild!!
Montee Ball

wow. just a great back.

good offensive line in front of him, too.

man

there might be much defense in this game

WOW,,,Wiscy looks awesome!!!
Okay, Wisconsin will not be nearly this good next season.

But I assure you, Wisconsin is looking for a young, under-recruited shifty QB to turn into Wilson version 2.

I really like to watch Wisconsin's offense!

That’s my kind of football.

I want their offensive line.

I still have a soft spot for option football.

After today...

…I really want their offensive line.

yeah

but.. but… but…. but…. we don’t have that offensive line.

but.. but… but…. but…. we don’t have that offensive line.maybe next year, but I’m not holding my breath

Let's convince the Wisconsin offensive linemen to graduate and come to Nebraska for a graduate's degree in professional golf management or something else Wisconsin doesn't offer!
ESPN just doomed one of these two teams to suddenly become offensively inept.
It's Speed vs Brute force in this one!!!!
i don't want a car that talks back to me
You don't?
shit no

everything else talks back to me.

EVERYTHING

Hopefully not the gin.
That's when you know

you have a problem.

Absolutely love the ground pounding,,,

offense type of football,,,,we used to be good at that!

It's biggest merit

Is its consistency. Something our offense lacks to a hilarious degree.

Consistency?

Every play this year was OMG I hope they make the yards they need. Some turned out to be yes, some no. Seems like this offense was either big play or nada and it was a coin toss as to which you got. Unless you gave to Rexy that is ;)

If i could get one of those helmets that was NU,,,,

I’d wear that while riding the Harley,,,everyday!!! And we dont have helmet laws here!

I'm sure you could get one of those helmets and put a sticker on it
Would stand out at Sturgis!!
you could paint one

shiny, sparkly red.

Gotta be the chrome with a big "N" on the side!!!!
isn't that

minnisota?

Brutal

I’m 3-9 in my last 12 bowl picks.

This would have been sweet!!!

Now picture that with an "N" on it!!!!
and a Rozier autograph!
Just got back from an errand...has Pelini been fired yet?

I kid. I kid! :)

TWICE.

Unfortunately, it was as President of the “Angry People Anonymous” and Vice Secretary of the “Sunshine Pumpers Commission”.

I didn't even

know he was on the board of the Sunshine Pumpers Commission.

Seems strange,

doesn’t it?

It was a silent membership.
It was supposed to have been revoked in September, but the board moves slowly.
Oregon just let lose on Wisconsin.

Ties it up at the end of the 1st.

That kid has speed like nobody I've seen
Wow..

that hurts!!!!

man

back and forth back and forth

No complaints here.

The universe can’t disappoint me any more than it already has.

Be careful what you wish for.
Wisconsin losing wouldn't be a disappointment.

I don’t take any pleasure in the emails extolling the virtues of Badger football I get from the university.

I want a damn beer!

Who in their right mind schedules a doctor appointment the day after a Husker bowl game?

Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So have one

one beer is not going to mess up any blood test.

You're the pharmacist,

so I’ll take your word for it!

I have to add

assuming you aren’t supposed to be fasting already.

Nope.
Your good.

no different than eating a cookie or having a real soda.

Bright side

We’ll have to earn our hype next year. It really bugged me how long we hung around the top ten this year.

You know,

that overhype got everything out of skew from the start this year. No way that this team should have had that kind of hype going in. Easy to say now, but it wasn’t there, even on paper.

I blame Pelini.

He was all zen-like and excited and not talking about processes.

I think it was largely based

On the assumption that a Pelini defense would be top 15 no matter what.

Obviously it was not a B1G defense.

It was built for the Big XIII. Now we’ll see if he can get the kind of players in that he needs to compete week in and week out in this conference.

This is my thought.

Our defense did pretty well for basically being the skinny freshman going up against the beefy seniors.

Why did he just

rub water/gatoraid on his gloves?

The Oregon

gloves keep throwing me. They are yellow on the inside and I keep thinking it’s a flag.

Montee Ball needs one TD to break Sander's official record.

How many would he need to match Sanders if we retroactively add bowl games?

He had 5 in the bowl game.
NFL coaches are dropping like flies.
who's the latest?
Rams, Bucs, and Colts front office.

Caldwell will be decided later.

Colts are going to hire ESPN employees to the front office, which means Luck is guaranteed the number one spot, regardless how he does tonight or at the Combine.
Just watched the post game presser

A couple of times I thought Bo was going to go off but kept his anger in check fairly well.

Looking forward to the Sr leadership that Burkhead is going to offer next year. Just need to keep him healthy.

I have a bet with my husband.

Did he say “We were out coached”?

oh hell no!
woohoo

guess who doesn’t have to make supper )

Offense should be legitimately good

We’re probably gonna need it.

Points points points points!!!
Where did this Oregon passing attack come from?
They've had a couple of weeks to make it up.
i think

that they know if they just do zone read all day, they’re going to get killed.

learned that from LSU or something

Musberger

How much do I hate this guy. “Wisc over there in the shade and the Ducks in the Cal sun with thier dark uniforms” Shut the F up!! You don’t think those guys run about 1 million yards every practice? And it shows since they just covered the whole field in the two plays it took me to type this.

not only that,

their helmets reflect all the heat anyway.

So if Florida won the Urban Meyer game...shouldn't they get to hire Urban back?
I has a sad
you've come to the right place

you BYOB, right? :)

Beer not strong enough

We must turn to liquor.

You know, a good host supplies the guests with beer.
Don't get me started on that one!!!
That sums it up for me too!

Never heard that before!

Wisconsin is going to devour Oregon's defense

It’s already 16-4 in TOP. Oregon may be ripping the huge plays but Oregon’s D is going to be toast pretty quickly.

Cripes, Brent...

“I think they lost him in the shade”…yet the QB had no problem finding that white jersey.

He lost him, therefore everyone did.

BRENT SEES ALL.

Did anyone else notice

that the W’s on the helmets have a rose in them?

Copying TCU's idea from last year.
I've seen it before last year
and the numbers.

Geez, you think you join a conf with honorable old fashioned schools and they whore themselves out to the fancy uniform fad. JK, very few would notice compared to Oregon’s uni’s.

I try

not to look at Oregon’s unis

Their numbers

also have roses.

Not showing up on TV

but I saw pictures of them.

Monte Ball=Rex Burkhead!!!
Go for it!!!!!
Ok,,,bad idea!!
Wisconsin way out thought themselves there
Is Paul still in the box?
Had to google for that answer but it seems he is
Well, that explains things.
Now I have to fix the washing machine,,,,

like i need another disappointment tonight!!!!

it's those damned people who lived with you

too much grease

I gave up,,,call the pro's on this one!!!
FUMBLE FOR TD. Under Review.

If it stands, Wiscy takes the lead.

wow

most points in the first half of a rose bowl ever

Am I the only one who didn't know,,,,

that Bo’s real name is Mark??

uh

yeah?

Damnit!!! Right on the ball as usual!!
Odd, someone else in the room here said that like 5 minutes ago

So, no, you aren’t. :P

Wisconsin

sure lead?

The mascots TD pushups,,,,

should be replaced with pounding beers!!!!! Last mascot standing,,,wins!!!

We could just make that a Division 1 sport. Every school could sponsor a beer-drinking team.
Who could hang with Wisky?
Corn fed Huskers!!!
oh damn

that’s true.

maybe something else – if you did liquor, the SEC would rule. but beer, it’d just be Wisconsin

Umm...

Obviously not Caputo. Barely over the limit and having to stop to sleep geez. But really he made a smart move, showed good character in realizing he had messed up and did his best to make things right. He also had a pretty good game today compared to the rest of the line. I’m surprised ESPN did not try to make his situation bigger than it was, I don’t even think they mentioned it once during the game.

Their keg storage unit

at their student union is as big as north stadium!

I'm loving these new DirectTV comercials

“Don’t have a grandson with a dog collar….get Direct TV” Good marketing.

I hope my daughter is watching those!
yeah

nice move by them

Mountain Lion caught in Kearney!!

http://www.kearneyhub.com/news/local/article_77c42d22-3386-11e1-98a5-0019bb2963f4.html
Looks more like killed

than caught.

longhorn troll here...

you’re still not relevant. And to respond in advance to your next comment – we have been recently.

hahaha

yeah, happy new year to you too

The only thing more delusional than a Longhorn fan is an Aggie.

Outside of last two yrs obviously.

If you have to qualify your trolling

UR DOIN IT WRONG.

I love how with the same record

they are relevant and we are not. Guess selling your soul to ESPN makes you relevant.

What is with Musberger and shadows?

This now makes 4 times he’s mentioned the damned shade!

Vampires

are often preoccupied with the position of the sun.

wow

Oregon big play that didn’t look like anything when it started.

64 yard TD

Can Wisky keep up the pace????
against

this Oregon’s defense? yeah, but they are a second half team

point made?

on that return?

Looks like the typical Oregon game the last 2 yrs.

A team can (maybe) hang around for a quarter or half if they are lucky, but after that things go downhill quickly, and it angers me so.

I think Wisconsin's offense is too good

And thank God Wisconsin won the Big Ten. Sparty would’ve gotten massacred in this one.

Nice run back!!!!
Man,,,that 3am wakeup is kicking my butt!!!!
That and Beer!!!
i suppose it is

i’m out of beer.

I bought an 18 pack for the game,,,,

glad i did!!! I’ll sleep good tonight!

Same here.

And the last one is a Wiscy beer to boot. Leinekugel’s Sunset Wheat. Maybe a bad sign for them?

no

all beer is from Wisconsin. it’s a dirty secret.

if the world understood that all beer was from Wisconsin – it would collapse as badly as banking

Milwaukee's

old brewery buildings are pretty cool.

those are fake

the real ones are buried deep deep in the ground near Hayward.

i’ll probably be killed for telling you this.

LOL!

We need to do some recon over the border before next season so you have more accurate intel.

As much as I want to hate this state for beating us,

Kegs of beer, lots of fireworks, a beautiful lake, and a Leinie’s brewery tour = Best family reunion ever.

Haven't been to Leinie's yet.

Just moved close and haven’t taken advantage of all there is to do in that state. Need to do a brewery tour next summer!

Been a Leinie's fan

for bout 5 or 6 yrs now but it’s hard to find more than 1 or 2 varieties down here. I’ve tried about all they have when I was back up north. All were pretty good. The tour is worth it if you’ve never been to a decent sized brewery before. If nothing else, the area is very scenic.

You all may keep the Leinie's.
take a nap now

so you can watch the Okie St game

Forgot about that one!!!!
Holy crap,,,,

It’s only 5:30 here!!! Gonna be a long night!!

Badgers

just need to keep scoring.

No TD for Wisky,,,,

beginning of the end????

Could be

Need a stop badly here.

hey!

its a stop!

Didn't realize the Ducks had a punter!!!
Maybe we will have a second half contest here
maybe

the Badgers will just wear them down a bit

Oregon fakes an injury!
So what you suppose the coaches

are doing right now? 4-star hotel. Family in town. Season over, though recruiting is major factor right now. Just curious.

screaming at the

walls in their hotel rooms?

Mom and dad stayed at the Peabody

Nice digs!
Mom: “You dad has taken me to some pretty nice places, but I’ve never stayed in a place like this!”

Maybe USC’s spartan approach was more in line with what the players needed.

Elaborate (I heard basically nothing about the teams' pre-game arrangements)
12 yards a play given up by Wisconsin

To put that in perspective, Washington gave up 9.5/play to Baylor the other night….

Touchdown!

Wisconsin!

Barn burner to the finish!
that's probably the huge difference in Nebraska's game and everyone else's

when’s the last time you saw a Nebraska play where the ball was thrown before the rceiver made their cut?

can we blame that on coaching?? I will!
i'm not sure

we have a quarterback that can make those throws.

just a lack of confidence. and our passing game is dependent upon having a good run game

TM had some good throws that could have got us back in it

but it’s hard to build confidence in the passing game when they drop them.

Yea, you have to rely....

on the ability of the players at some point!

This team has been the worst at making it happen when it counts the most.

Other teams seem to be able to make the plays to keep them in the chase. We haven’t. Dropped balls, brokedown coverages on 3rd down, etc

Been happening for 3 years now,,,

when will it change?

I might add,

besides David’s strip in the Ohio State game. We needed more of that type of game changing action this season to turn things around.

Wisconsin

got a 3rd and 18

Oregon

player – man he was hit and ain’t moving much

Badger interception

what’d they call – illegal block?

Meanwhile

Big pick for Wisconsin. They’ve got a chance to put Oregon behind the 8 ball now. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if they cash in. Oregon’s defense has been out there for prolly 30 minutes already.

oh man

they’re bringing out a cart for the Oregon dude.

that sucks. he must have landed on that knee pretty bad

Oh, good

When I saw the stretcher I was thinking neck injury.

If Wilson wants to go to the NFL, I want Chicago to draft him.
Chicago is the graveyard for good quarterbacking
But if you're a rookie, you want to go to Chicago.

You’ll eventually be great somewhere else.

It's abdominal thrusts, unless you want to pay the Heimlich family.
Monte Ball is a powerhouse. Cannot bring him down!
Does it make anybody else proud

that Wisconson is a pretty class act team, and that Alvarez essentially states he modeled the program off of Neb?

yeah

always like Wisconsin since I moved to Minnesota.

Aaaand int

Crap.

That was a nice pick
shit

Wisconsin interception.

man, what a bad choice by Wilson

Hope...its all we got!

Despite the disappointing finish, Martinez is full of optimism going foward. When asked about the returning players at the key positions on offense next year, the quarterback said: “Next year if we don’t play for the national championship I’ll probably be pretty disappointed.”

MARTINEZ IS TRANSFERRING TO AUBURN, PAWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
hahahaah

thanks, i needed that!

isn't that where Bo is going after getting fired?
He's Chiznik's new DC!
I still remember the day

Chizik was boo’d getting off the airplane at Aub. and called a loser.

Wait 12 more months and they'll be calling for him to be fired.
That kid

Needs to be introduced to the term “political correctness.”

Meh. I prefer my QBs to be cocky SOBs.

It’d be nice if the team were, you know, able to back it up.

COMPETING FOURTH QUARTER TRADITIONS.

Oregon wins.

really?

i was going for Wisconsin.

because i did the “Jump Around” there, and, that song is longer than you think it is.

I've vehemently against the Jump Around.
why is that?
It annoys me.
It seems most things Wisconsin-related annoy you

Come on, man, it’s your school – that’s got to count for something, right?

/ohwait
//goestotexas

No where in my contract does it require me to be a badger.
When I first saw it,

I thought, “That’s a stadium destined to come crashing down in the near future”.

Jump around came out in 92

Does 20 yrs really make it a tradition?

Oregon

takes the lead those bastards

man

i can’t imagine what old men think of this newfangled football where they score and score

They'd shake a fist but they're much too old and afraid to break a bone.
shit

Wisconsin! hang in there you bastards!

nice job

of fielding that punt inside the 10

although with Oregon – is it that important?

Oregon chuckles at the challenge and then steals your girlfriend, your beer AND your car while scoring touchdown.
Those Bastards!!!!
Hey, Wisconsin? I'm not an expert by any means...but...you may want to cover that guy.

Just a thought.

That's going right up there with the immortal "catch the ball!"
And goodbye Wisc
Frost getting a mention
fucking hold

holy shit, if they hadn’t called that….

Oregon got Balls!!!!
holy shit

another hold not called

Here comes another 4th down
Why the hell are they kicing this?
to prove

they have a kicker.

'cause they're bastards.

shit, we should have played a night game

They made it

But I still don’t get it. Try a 4th and 2, where success probably means a touchdown. OR try a slightly better than 50/50 field goal to extend the lead to 7?

Anybody not looking forward to hearing

about Luck’s god-like abilities for the next 4 hrs?

mute button

or I’ll let hubby play skyrim and i’ll watch it silently on espn3

he plays skyrim?

good game. I don’t play it, my kids do. I don’t have time. i play COD, Battlefield 3, short games.

I hate it

it has these HUGE spiders.

i'm looking forward

to okie state kicking their asses

Go Stanford!

The Universe is on my side, I swear!

GO NERDS.

Mute button and Breaking Bad on the tablet? I think so!
That kicker

was only 6/11 FGs for the year…54%. We’d crap our pants if our kicker had stats like that.

They wouldn't be our kicker.
We're Nebraska

Unlike Oregon we need to kick field goals once in a while. :(

Once in a while,,,Hahaha!!!
For now.

SOON we will be a full team juggernaut and ESPN will declare Nebraska the greatest conference ever.

That's when I knew things were in a funk today

and everything was against when Maher got blocked on the EP and missed the FG. A sign of the football gods saying “today is not your day”

Yes.

It was an omen.

I thought the lady's went to bed!
We're not

easy to get rid of.

Have I been that quiet?
Uhhhhhh

Wow

Facemask, I think, but that was bad on Abardaris.
OMG

Wisconsin OMG

Oh Wisconsin!!!!!

can you believe that???
That ball

sat there……. a …… long…….. long…….. time.

Sorry Badgers

Sparty used up all of the conference’s luck today.

Sparty took all of Wisconsin's luck back in October.
can you believe this?
The way both my teams' seasons have gone

Yes, yes I can.

Two years in a row,,,

Wisconsin loses the Rose Bowl,,,SAD!!!

That pretty much does it...darn
Wisconsin

damned well better not act like this is over.

I like Kirk's ad

for Dove for Men. His four boys look like absolute hellions.

Maybe Bielema and Bo can go to the

“Timeouts are best saved for the end of the game” class together

Wisconsin

Has the faintest of life right now.

So the B1G

is still stuck at just two bowl wins?

michigan vs virginia tech
3

Purdue, former Zookers, and Sparty

Michigan better damn well win

Because 3-7 would just be pathetic.

can you believe Wisconsin though?

best team in school history, and they lose two games in the last moments, then this fumble happens.

God hates them.

bullshit

you put a second back on that clock

Abbredaris= scary

in Badger languague though

Ooh...

shades of the Big XII championship game….will they get the one second?

Another lame ending brought to you by

Instant Replay

Eh. The B1G is to slow to compete with the Pac-12. This just proves it.
They got that one right....

But wow how about Wisconsin’s losses this year? Lost on a hail mary, lost on basically a hail mary, and lost when they spiked the ball on the last play.

They may have got it right

but ia review sure is a buzzkill on the last play of a game.

Well hey, we survived our first year in a new conference

And we got into a fine bowl game against a fine team. In fact, I think that we were actually better than them but we just couldn’t get out of our own way. It was a disappointing loss but not embarassing like last year.

I would like to see Pelini’s teams be more consistent and have the ability to overcome their mistakes. If we keep Pelini around and let him continue to mature as a head coach, I think we will see improvement there. Also, this team was pretty young for the most part, and that may have been another big reason they couldn’t handle themselves when it got rough in big games.

Same speech,,,different year!
It does feel that way

But honestly we aren’t going backwards. We are just kind of stuck on the edge of greatness that a lot of teams are and with the right players and the right year, we could easily turn the corner.

This loss definitely puts more pressure on this year’s recruiting class. If it’s mediocre, it might be harder for people to believe that we will ever turn the corner. I think this year we just didn’t quite have enough talent and experience on the field to be a top 10 team. Last year we did, but they went with a freshman QB and that limited us. Hopefully Bo can convince talented prospects that they can be the difference in us making the jump from a 9-4 team to a 11-2 or 13-0 team.

Welcome!

I generally agree, I’m still seething though.

I cooled off after listening to idiots call into the Big Red Reaction for 2 hours on my drive back from Christmas
The thing that gets to me

Is that we should have WON this thing damnit.

Iv'e said that,,ummmm 4 times this year!
Well

It’s upsetting when turnovers and mistakes blow open what should’ve been a close game, a la Wisconsin/Michigan.

Imo, this one is worse, because we walked out there and hit USC in the mouth and frankly dominated the first 35 minutes…..and came out of that stretch somehow down 16-13. This was not a game that we should’ve lost. This was not a game that should’ve been close. /repetition makes me feel better.

and reading your words

helps soothe my soul.

What gets me angry the most is missed tackles.

Bo came in with the hype of discipline and fundamentals. We are penalty ridden and cannot tackle until after the 3rd guy has missed the ball carrier. As soon as those get cleaned up, we can move on.

Yep

Bo’s next step has GOT to be cleaning up the garbage we saw today and in all of our other losses/unnecessarily close wins. Do that and we’re 11-1/10-2.

Yeah, I agree with this!

For such a strong defensive coach and disciplinarian, you would expect to see better tackling and much fewer penalties.

The other thing that has baffled me all yr

is how far our D line lines up away from the ball. Every game, every play we are 1 yd off the ball when every other team in football has their helmet in the neutral zone before the snap. Is that part of our scheme? If so it should stop until we get more explosive guys.

Totally agree, we should have won!

The thing I hate the most is that last touchdown they got…it allowed ESPN to use the word “route” in the headlines when really it was a 10 point game that should have been a 7 point game except for that freak blocked PAT. Let’s not forget that Hail mary…and Maher missed a 39 yarder. Those are all things that almost NEVER happen!

There were just way too many “what-ifs” in this game, and a lot of them were very legitimate. This game was so much closer than the score indicated…but outside of this state no one will remember all that, they will just look at the score being 30-13 and say “SEC speed beat the Big 10 again.”

This kind of logic and reasoning is not welcome in these parts!!

+1

THESE YOUNG KIDS JUST DON'T CARE ANY MORE.
I swear

If Brent says, “Grandaddy of them all” one more time I will hurl.

I should like Chip Kelly

but I really can’t bring myself to do so.

I can't stand him. But his teams are always fun to watch.
I'm a man. I'M 40!

And if you mention the National Championship game one more time I’m gonna punch you in the throat!

Hahaha!!! Love that!
ahahah

stanford misses FG

Stanford pick!!!!
So about that SEC speed...

I think it’s so overblown. We had a lot of success with the option today, and Rex was outrunning SC’s “hyper-fast” defensive ends with easy. But of course at the end, when Taylor was forced to drop back and pass and it became a Martinez sackathon, ESPN announcers were making passionate word love to SEC speed.

Not to mention

Smashmouth worked pretty well too. About the only thing that consistently didn’t work for our offense was the power toss interestingly.

Nebraska neutralized their speed in the first half by running inside-out with Burkhead, and

physical play by the DB’s. When the sack fest started in the second half, the speed showed up all over the field.

I think losing Denard hurt our secondary more than losing Jeffrey hurt SC's receivers
In hindsight I agree. At the time I thought we'd be fine.

Then I remembered how young our secondary is without Dennard.

And Weedon gets picked.
oh

Mike Gundy, you suck. because he threw that, in his mind.

Good toss, Pokes.

And yes…I’m rooting for Stanford

Haha,

If Weeden wasn’t 45 yrs old he might have had the arm strength to complete that instead of an INT

Hey,,, I resemble that remark!!!

except i dont play college football so it’s all ok!!

Oh nothing wrong with age.

The guy does not look college age though. Maybe T Boone wants to go back to the days when the Texas and Oklahoma teams can buy 30 yr olds to play college ball.

30 yr olds,,,im still screwed!!!
look

Okie State’s defense hits hard!

Helmet to helmet...no question
Please pleas

can we see that hit one more time, I don’t think 15 was enough.

2 more times work for ya?
what the hell

oklahoma state defense?

Bill Young. He's a good DC
My trip through western Nebraska!!

Not my picture but you get the idea!!!
all my place is canyons and hills
all your base are belong to us!
So plain its beautiful!
Love the big sky.
Dude took you forever.

That pic was taken 6 months ago, what did you do walk?

Once again,,,not my Picture!

Just what western Nebraska looks like!

must be

north western Nebraska, not enough cows.

Nothing in the Sand Hills!!!
Cows outnumber

people there something like 100 to one.

Please don't remind me of the land of my ancestors while I am stuck down here in

god forsaken STX!

wtf

did Matt Millen just say about strengths and weaknesses

oh

the weakest chain has the strongest links, but not in one place.

No idea. I have a Matt Millen filter so all I hear is "wha wha wha whaaa wha-wha"
Charlie Brown's teacher??
oh that's better
wha wha wha?

like 50s do whop or like the late 60s with jimi hendrix’ guitar?

Too busy drafting receivers to make sense!
Just like Martinez throws it!
well

yeah, actually.

kind of.

in MY DREAMS

Mike Gundy

doesn’t always have that look, but he has that look when he T Boone Pickens attaches that shock thing to his balls

You have a website for that device???
what?

you want one?

Um,,,No,,,just wondering!
Just send him the one

Mrs. CN has hooked up to your’s!

Hahahaha!!!!

Plus a rec’d!!

ruralking.com
ban

is that what you said?

nearly another pick
Hey Jon

do your kids complain about Skyrim freezing up a lot? Ours does, but we don’t know if it’s the game or our PS3

we have it on xbox

but… i don’t know that it does

my youngest son

got a PS3 for Christmas, so we’ll start learning more about that as the year goes on

What happened to

Okie State’s offence?

i think

they’re freaking out about being in this big a game.

otherwise, wtf?

First bowl in how long?
not the first bowl

but BCS? man, i can’t think – it’s gotta be their first

It is their first. Their first major bowl in about 80 years I think
Stanford

interception. that’s one apiece.

A pick for OSU!
This is going somewhat well.

Okie losing but Luck getting picked off to shut ESPN up about him.

so

basically what they’re saying is Justin Blackmon has a STD

What?

They said that?

has a leg infection

you know…. lots of antibiotics….. or something.

maybe i’m guessing. what’s a leg infection, seriously?

Someone's

got MRSA…..those locker rooms are crawling with that nasty stuff.

OH

damn that MRSA.

is that a STD? because locker rooms could be crawling with that, eh? :)

no

last time I checked they don’t give non-steroidal for STD’s.

maybe ea cut that's gotten infected

or phlebitis in a leg vessel?

maybe

his bonkulator got infused with thermogastic motion

now your just

making up words.

clearly

you’ve never had a gonkulator infection

it really sucks. can’t pick up radio. can’t plug in an ipod.

OMG no!!!!

not something that affects the ipod.

yeah, that's the ticket :)
The last time my bonkulator got infused

they stuck a wire up my intestigator with medicine on it. Burnt like hell!

Is this one of those

“journalistic leaps!”

oh fuck yes

i’m learning from the lads in Omaha!

These TV time outs are killing me!

If you don’t live in Iowa, you have no idea what caucus time is like. I am so sick of commercials with Perry, Romney, Bachmann, Gingrich, and all of the other fruitcakes thinking they want to be President. And, we turned out damn phone off because of all the recorded messages! What’s crazy is that no one in this house is a registered Republican and we are still getting them!!!!! Jon, take me fishin’!

Watch it on ESPN3

they don’t show any local commercials.

God I wish

they’d stop crying about Luck not winning the Heisman.

The best player won it

so I agree. They should shut up!

And Stanford scores!!
well crap

I thought the Cowboys would have had this one.

oh

Stanford.

you damned guys i’m opening another big beer

Hell ya!!! Big Beer!!!

Im so sleepy,,,i’ll agree with anything,,,almost!

Can we come move in

with you while I find a job? It’s just me, my husband and my puppy….she’s good as long as you want a paper shredder on legs.

Oh hell,,,why not!!!

Bring your own drinks!!!

My eyes,,,they burn!!!!
oh come on

you big baby. you can make it another two quarters.

do i have to remind you how long the offseason is?

Im not out of beer yet,,,

i bought an 18 pack!!! In it for the long haul!!

Although,,,lack of sleep,,,

lots of beers, and a Husker loss is wearing me down!!! Oh,,,OSU scores!!!

kaboom

i don’t know why Okie State waited until they were to do this

btw

I have to say I am completely disappointed by the lack of Cock jokes today.

I was trying to be good.

I died when someone said all 3 on game center went for cocks.

Getting railed by Cocks is not a joking matter!
You realise what you just did?
uh....

sexually harassed my community?
went over the line?
opened the flood gates?
spread MRSA, a STD, to the masses?
STARTED THE END OF THE WORLD BECAUSE IT’S 2012 AND FORETOLD BY THE MAYANS?

I'm skipping 2012 because of the Mayans.
Saw something on the stadium big screen in second half

Don’t know if it made tv, but looked like the right hand sign (of three) held by cheerleaders(?!) said GOOD COCKS

The game thread was seriously lacking pussies as well.
I didn't know Willis coached for Stanford!
whachoo talkin bout willis?
look

it’s that Blackmon guy. scoring.
imagine that.

Happyness is a Bitch with a Cock in her mouth!!!

Here we go. Put the kids to bed!
again I have to say

Jon started it.

what?

started what?

you started that talk about diseases. or infections. something like that. things that do bad things to bodies.

Um,,,No cock jokes!!!!
No, Sir

you brought up STD’s first.

oh

damn.

i did, didn’t I?

well… lets move to stoikiometri chemistry then.

*makes notes of words for the future of science*
kids are here?
Hi!
You can buy your own alcohol

Where you may be young, and make me feel OLD, you are not the type of kid he was referring too,

i'm 12 and what is this?
physical age Jon

not mental.

I just like making him feel old.
what kind of asshole

shows up at a party with 12 tacos?

Noz
oh

so there’s two of us that knows that’s true.

good call!

Certainly not you - you don't even provide beer.

Hate that double post!!!
I thought it was warranted.
In that case,,,yea!!
that's true

Todd could tell you I was the guy that’d show up with ice

And cigars to chew on!
Is Jon the type of guy,,,

who could fall into a bucket of titties and come out sucking his thumb???

You don't know how bad I want to answer that . . .

but I really, really like his wife! But you are on the right track!

Actually, Noz

showed up with the box for twelve, and only two left!

The under 21 types.
Stanford's

pulilng guard didn’t even have to block anyone but fell down in the end zone out of exasperation.

ah SHIT

i need a new laptop.

Good thing football is done.
Let's get rid of instant replay and

go back to human error. I liked that a lot better. It made for great Penn State t-shirts!

Just wait until instant replay gets into soccer.

It’ll die fast.

yeah

plus it would have given wisconsin another second… and some other team that should have won a Big 12 championship, oh… i don’t know who that would be.

Not America's team, obviously.
It has def ruined the refs

They second guess themselves all the time now. Sometimes they blow a whistle too early on a fumble, sometimes too late. They have just been sloppier all around since replay came in.

Blackmon

putting on a NFL exhibition

There goes Blackman again

with a trail of puss oozing out of his infected, ah, leg

I feel like that's a danger to the other players.
don't worry

it’s not contagious.

unless you’ve got your gonkulator out. then that thing is all infected right away

Good to know.
hey

we’re CN. We’re all about education!

That's why I come here!
Another Cock Pun!!!
Please define gonkulator.

Is that the same thing as having an inflamed vistabula, treated with high grade anti-biotics and radiation when coming in contact with one of those dirty, dirty galfarbs?

Why do I feel

like you guys are talking in vulcan.

I'd suggest Google but if you're right that wouldn't be nice.
because

we’re doing the same damned thing that medical professionals do to us.

except that I don’t know latin all that well.

so in other words

this is how my husband feels all the time?

Latin?

I thought we were talking Yiddish, goya!

I read that differently,,,(Puss) sorry!
TD OSU!!!!! Tied up!
/old man joke goes here
Brandon Weeden

becomes the oldest person to score in Fiesta Bowl history, barring prostrate problems.

Oh,,,thats not right!!!
Can an old man with prostate problems score?
Maybe with So.Carolina's cheerleaders!!!
He can with the right medication.
Well, there's hope.

But I’m not sure the Carolina cheerleaders are the medicine one might need!

We're not even at halftime yet....!
And another

games goes into the half tied.

people

can complain about bowl season, but there has been a lot of really good games

It's sad that it ends tonight.
In the Famous words of Lee Corso....

Aw..Fuck it!!!

Love it!!!!!

That is perfect!

HEY

no FUCKING swearing in the game threads.

Aw Fuck,,,im sorry!
you fucking swear again

you fucker. and I’ll ban someone. probably not you, but that negative guy because he really pissed me off earlier.

You fucking do that!!!

That fucker deserves it!!! Fucker!!!

God....

Jessie Palmer needs to be a better actor so I don’t have to watch him on ESPN

i like

jesse palmer. he’s nice looking. and doesn’t appear to be infected with anything.

I kind of like him

not in a man-crush way. But I like his analysis. Not full of a lot of BS and coach-speak.

You like his analsyst???
Todd

has always like analysts. that’s why we’re friends if you know what i mine (wink wink nudge nudge)

Shhhhhhhhh!
So if you two are friends

you have his home number and can call and ask Mrs CN to take away his gin right?

It's really your duty as a responsible internet commentator.
Yeah, but what I love most about Mrs. CN

is that she lets Jon be Jon! We all know he is going to have a hell of a hangover tomorrow, and she is the one that gets to see him suffer first hand! This doesn’t make sense, does it?

Would be better if she

would take pictures and post them.

Now that's a great idea!
That would be epic!!!
You cant even type,,hahaha

and i’ve been up since 3am,,,bastard!!!

Yeah, I like the way

he explains what is going on on the field. He’s articulate and he doesn’t try to impress people with how smart he is.

I just think he tries too hard.

And he suffers from 2 of my least favorite attributes on a man. 1 – he does that stupid fo-hawk and 2 – he enjoys the sound of his own voice.

I'll give you the fo-hawk.

Tried it on my 50th birthday so I’d look younger, and you can imagine the response I got from my teenagers!

you turned 50?

man you’re old.

Yep, and obsessed with my own demise.

Sucks to realize that lots of people kick the bucket before you get much further down the road.

(I thought Jon didn't have any gin...?)
I was just thinking the same thing...

especially when he started showing his man crush on plamer.

I DON'T HAVE MAN CRUSHES

i was just saying I don’t mind Jesse Palmer.

I hated Bob Griese as an announcer, he was a complete ass. But Brian Griese is announcing now, and I’m trying to figure out if I like him. It’s always unfair to hold the sins of the father to the son (or at least I hope so, because I have really nice kids thanks to Mrs CN)

Dude,

your son put “rob a store with a spoon” on his bucket list, AND you want to kill them every other week, now their nice? ;)

(The gin is talking, I guess.)
Thats right,,,a spoon,,,HAhahahaha!!!!
that was the youngest son

i have two.

wow

that will live forever, won’t it?

That's how the internet works.
Sorry,

I tend to have a good memory for silly crap like that.

Have another one,,,

and start from scratch!!!

Wow,,this is taking a different twist!!
Well now I'm getting angry that Jon wasted the gin on Stanford vs OSU!
i'm not having gin

i’m having really really good beer

and lots of them ;)
I've got this Kentucky ale

stuff that was given to me for Christmas. It is beer and bourban. Great stuff!

what is that?
A beer brewed in Kentucky.

Have tried to get it in Iowa and Nebraska, but they aren’t shipping outside of Kentucky and southern Indiana.

How far south

in Indiana? I’m not too far from there.

They brew it in bourbon barrels so that limits the supply somewhat.
Apparently not good enough for Nebraska!
I could so see Jon doing this!! Me too for that matter!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a3WtbPkclQ

Oh shit!

I have seen that! Was another John from college, but I saw it!

Not the one in the video, but I saw a guy do that!
But,

he’s drinking at home, so we don’t have to worry about a DUI.

Just think of him headed for the fridge for another drink!
isn't that what kids are for?
oh

my kids are forbidden from getting me a beer, or anything else.

Agree with you there!!!
I got my boss a beer last year

and the bartender put Tabasco sauce on the lip of the bottle……i thought he was going to die, he’s never asked me to get him another drink.

man

you guys are a tough crowd.

what if I’m just a sick-minded person?

but you know deep down

that we all love you right?

Well, except for the trolls.

But they hate everyone.

hahaha

yeah, mostly. :)

damn

Weeden Sacked!

Okie State just can’t get a lead

At least they're hanging tough!!!
Oh man,,,18 hrs,480 miles, and 12 beers,,,

Im toast!!

come on

puss boy.

one more half and you can collapse

for a minute

there I thought you were talking to Blackmon

Maybe the wife will smear me with,

peanut butter and jelly and eat me???

uh

wow. bath salts now?

real bath salts

or those new things that everyone’s sniffing and doing like drugs?

OMG

way too much info.

It may be getting late.
Gross

Also, I made it through today without drinking!

How?
I have a BRUTAL cold

I was already high as a kite on cold meds so

a) the effect was reasonably similar
b) it gets dangerous pretty quick when alcohol gets mixed with codeine and a bunch of other said. Or so saith my doctor.

I considered risking it.

other stuff***
I was not aware of the cold meds.

You’re excused.

I wouldn't

narcs and alcohol can be scary.

Yep,,get well soon jd!!!!
But Jade...

This was a BAD day. :P

Also, if you ever manage to invent non-dependence forming Afrin, I will pay you 50% of whatever I make every year for the rest of my life.

ever tired

just regular ocean nasal spray? I know it’s only saline but it actually does work, and the blood vessels don’t respond the same way to it, so you don’t get the rebound congestion….

Hmmmmm...no

I’ll have to try that. While my immune system is generally very good, the common cold is the bane of my existence. I get it 4 or 5 times a year, it lasts 1-2 weeks with all of the usual symptoms and congestion so bad I have trouble inhaling enough Afrin to do any good. Needless to say the drug cocktail that I take to combat it is usually pretty extensive, so there’s nothing wrong with giving something else a try. :)

just stay away from the

stupid neti pots okay?

You mean microbial vats?
YES

what at least two people have died from that brain eating microbe. I read about the first one and threw mine away.

Nothing fixes a cold quicker than Nyquil and beer.

Well Brandy does but that stuff is nasty.

Nyquil

used to be like 80 prof or something like that.

12 beers...?

I am not worthy….

I have been training with the Husker games and CN!!!!
buck up

you have 6 more beers.

Im blaming you for my complete incompetence tomorrow!!!!
I told you Friday

you should call in sick.

Who do you blame on the other days of the week?
That graphics shows me that Luck is perfect for a West Coast-style offense. (I know the WCO is verboten in these parts but, hey, it's a legitimate concern.)

Does Indianapolis run the WCO?

oh

the NFL all runs somewhat the same offense. They’d like us to believe it’s all different, but it’s just iterations of the same thing.

Luck is good because he lines up under center, can call his own plays, read a defense. He’s a NFL QB.

Tebow doesn't do that

and he’s an NFL quarterback!

*cough*

For one more week!

no,

he just plays one on TV

The water boy has turf toe.
uh

good NFL quarterbacks?

did anyone see what Matt Flynn did as a backup?

Don't remind me.

WHY CAN’T CHICAGO DRAFT A BACKUP. OR A STARTER. OR A QB.

it's not in their

DNA.

RB, Oline=Chicago

But but...

They don’t have those either.

well

that’s where they need to be, ain’t it?

Minnesota, though, they don’t have much of anything

Amazing!!!!
He's a free agent,,,
That reminds me . . .

why the hell are we all watching this D-1 BCS crap football! All the good quarterbacks, two-thirds of the DBs and about half of the wide receivers played FCS football. That’s the football we should be watching!

They don't put

that on TV as much.

That's not nice to call Purdue a FCS program.
They won't have

much of a choice will they.

oh for shits sake

that’s just shitty defense.

hahahaha

Yeah!!!!!!

You’re gonna work for us one day! You’re gonna work for us one day! You’re gonna work for us one day! You’re gonna work for us one day!

Psh. Nerds are going to work for me.
wtf

you’ve hit the gin, haven’t you?

Bourban

and I don’t have to work tomorrow! Except for my slave-driving wife that thinks I double-majored in construction management and interior design!

I thought

those were required courses before you could buy the engagement ring. No?

Have you been married long???

Thats what were supposed to do!!!

20 years on the 4th of July

Jon, didn’t you join us for the honeymoon?

He's going to get upset, now we all know he's at least 20.
That sounds like a great story!!!!

Please elaborate!!!

Generally speaking, we were all so

drunk at each other’s weddings, anything is possible!

on your honeymoon?

uh… did I?

That was a weird formation for Stanford.
OSU gets the fumble,,,,

somewhere on the field!

Oh,,,good field position!!!
how'd that happen?

i saw the fumble, but how’d Stanford end up with the ball in their own end zone?

OSU got the fumble on the four, WR dropped the ball in the endzone.
okay I was feeling left out

I just opened my first hard cider.

welcome to the party,,,,

im going to bed,,,hahahaha!!!

didn't they just do

the movie “Tuskeegee Airmen” about the black pilots in WWII?

so do we think

that Okie State just lost it?

If they get one stop on Stanford, they'll be back in it.
oh no

it’s not even the fourth yet.

there’s 21-28 points to be scored yet

What is the Big XII going to look like next year?

Does it come down to whether or not Landry Jones comes back?

Landry Jones,,hahaha,,,i was reading Tom Landry??? WTH!!
Landry Jones

going pro this year? he was awful.

Did RGIII

ever make an announcement?

No announcement until the 12th or so, according to his father.
Yes,,,going pro
Mixed stories.

His dad says he’s going. Baylor says no decision yet.

we have no idea right now,,LOL
ESPN said yes earlier....

So that is pretty much Gospel right?

So whose going to be good?

Kansas State?

I'm sure OU has someone decent waiting behind Landry.
And there's Texas

even if they aren’t good they think they are.

Also, TCU and WVU (maybes) are joining.

I bet TCU could challenge, assuming Patterson fixes that D.

just say it

Matt Millen – he got hit in the balls

I thought you all wore

cups to protect the boys.

That's only in movies for the writers to have quick easy jokes.
and for kids to cup check you!!
doesn't work in all situations
especially when they pinch you!!!!
ESPN can't say that without getting a note from the principal.
They would just have to

apologize during the next commercial.

I'm sure they still get fines.
did they fine corso?
It was to classic to fine him!!!
Luck to Indy???

I think so,,,Peyton’s days are numbered!!

They already were.

He’s basically as old as Favre.

shut up

he’s younger than me (I think)

Definately younger than me!!!

At least we kicked his ass in 97!!!

he's actually a year older than me

I had to check.

Favre or Manning????

they both are younger than me!!!

Manning

Favre is 8 years older than me.

Wow, that means im,,,

10 years older than you.

man

Okie State just get these guys off the field

Careful. It's been chippy enough.
this damned well better be holding
And thus it is...

…but even then, Okie Light struggles to contain…

BTW, I just posted a game story about that ugly Capital One Bowl game.

ah

i forgot to eat supper. had some chips and dip. I’m good.

Did the same,,,to tired to eat!!!
alcohol doesn't count for supper?
Had a ham sandwich on the way home,,,,

at 9:30!!!

One more comment and we hit 1000!!!
You know

it just isn’t right that there are bowl games after today. It shouldn’t be that way. We should be madly flipping our remotes from channel to channel, keeping up with the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl.

That's why I'm done after today.
That is if the Orange Bowl

and Sugar Bowl were worth watching.

I watched part one,,,

the sequels always suck!!!

Reply fail,,,sorry!
I'm done too.

I’ll read about the NC game in the paper.

Okie State

running up tempo

oh

there’s the Blackmon guy

Oozing puss all the way to the end zone
Puss or Puss???
what?
I'm waiting for the explanation
Puss, the stuff the oozes from infected whatchamacallits
wounds

it oozes from open wounds.

a wound to the gonkulator.
I know what puss is

I just want SD to tell me the difference between puss and puss.

Not sure myself,,,

im so sleepy!!!

What Todd said^^^^^^
puss

puss – a wimpy man like Todd

puss – ooze from an infected, open wound.

it’s all in how you say it

Thats it Jon!!!
*pus = ooze from an infected, open wound.
Puss on has one s?
No,, Pus does!!
well

yeah, to separate it from puss, which is like you, Todd.

You're welcome for the setup.
yeah

and you probably have HD too, don’t you?

No

watching it the old fashioned way on analog. Can get wi-fi in my man cave.

Correction:

Can’t get wi-fi in my man cave

Your man cave

sucks.

Tell me about it.

But that goes back to my previous comments about the whole construction management/interior design issue

OSU has had some real good receivers lately.

How the heck do they get them out of Texas!

If you had the option would

you go to Texas?

damn

unlike us, they use their strengths on offense

I see a big difference in discipline.

Not the stupid mistakes and numerous bad decisions.

okay

3rd and 14 for stanford

shit

can you believe that?

well yes, it is Okie State’s pass defense

It's also very good execution by 11 guys in white.
For what reason do drummers think they need

sweat bands?

drums are heavy

and it makes them look cool

Doesn't look like the Okie State

cheerleaders had the same number of tanning coupons as the Carolina girls. Nor the free seconds at the buffet.

GOOOOOOOOOO STANFORD!
pft

Go Cowboys!!!!!

CHAOS. SHOOTOUT AT THE ARIZONA CORAL.
OSU gonna tie it up!!!
Did Okie State leave too much time on the clock?

Or did they take too much time for them to be able to come back after Stanford retakes the lead?

Weeden just needs Blackmon open.

All the Hail Mary’s.

wow, this should be the game!!!
GOOOOOOOOO STANFORD!
If he misses this it is because he is from Austin, Texas

and Texas is from Austin and I hate Texas and I want Stanford to win and if they don’t it is because of those damn Texans!

Did we lose Jon?
think he can make

this FG?

SHANK!

Stanford shanks a second FG in OT!

And Stanford misses ANOTHER FG
AND TD. OSU WINS THEIR FIRST BCS GAME EVER.
WAIT WAIT WAIT. OFFICIAL REVIEW.
GASP HE'S SHORT.
Crap
Four downs to punch it in.
way to talk

me off the ledge there Salt.

It's not over...

Okie State ball at the 1 yard line.

WTH was that?
No one wants the party to end.
Somebody's not getting laid tonight

Yeesh, makes you glad to have Brett Mah—-never mind.

I do feel sorry

for the Stanford kicker…he could have won the game.

And game! On a FG!

T BOONE PICKENS FINALLY BOUGHT A BCS.

That's it, that's game for me.

No more CFB until fall.

I guess my lab work is thankful for my full attention.

Good night guys.

Thanks for making it a fun season.
