Game Thread: Nebraska vs. Wisconsin

[Jack_John_Mark]

I'm at my wits end. There really isn't a god.

4 losses this way.

4 games where we had it won, and gave it away in the final seconds. Had 1 single task, and couldn't get it done to win.

It's mind-blowing. We are the best 2-4 team ever and there may never be a 2-4 team this good ever again.

Oh and let's just make everything better with the long winded fuck bag that is smart. Go and fuck off you fucking loser.

1. There seems to be some feeling that you all choked, and I don't get it. We had 150 more yards and dominated the time of possession. Outside of your two long TD plays, our defense pretty much dominated. Your secondary is bad, but that isn't choking as much as it is team weaknesses.

2. I thought this was a really well-played game for the most part. There were no turnovers. I've seen a lot of harping on your three dropped picks, but two of the three were low-arching fastballs from Stave. Those aren't the type of plays defensive players can make. Our offensive guys, as you saw, struggle to catch those. There were only one play for each team that should have been a turnover, which isn't much. If we played that mistake-free last week, we beat Iowa by 17.

3. Armstrong flipped a switch in the 2nd quarter and gave a reminder of what your offense could be with a throwing QB. He was anticipating his receivers routes and getting out of jams, and it led to two quick TD drives. You guys are 6-0 if that Tommy Armstrong shows up all the time.

4. I've been a fan of a team that loses a lot of close games. It sucks, but it also means that you have the parts to take the next step. It's encouraging in some ways. It means that if a guy like Russell Wilson or JJ Watt comes through the doors, and those losses turn to wins, you can be conference champs. It sucks now, I'm sure, but I find that more encouraging than the 30 point Pelini losses four times per year.

5. I loved Memorial Stadium for the most part. The fans were engaged and polite. It was loud. I was way up high, but the view was great. However, it has two major issues that place it below a Camp Randall Stadium or Ohio Stadium: (1.) The blasting the music before the play starts is annoying and gimmicky. That's the stuff you see in pros, and the college atmosphere is so much better. (2.) The student section didn't really make it's presence felt at all besides the moment you went up 21-20. There were no noticeable chants or traditions. I had a great time at the game, but those two issues really made me feel like I was at a pro stadium. Maybe your fans like that, but I prefer the college atmosphere.

Didn't read all of that....

But you can look at stats all you want. If Nebraska gets a first down the game ends and those stats mean jack shit.

We handed the game over. Didn't get a first down, didn't get any pressure on Stave on that final drive, and left receivers wide open.

The other 59 minutes don't matter. You won the last 1 minute and it was all it took.

To be fair, Wisconsin handed the game over first when fatass clanked one off the upright.

 

[Brasky]

I swear to god. God hates Nebraska football.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

By the way, @Smart ......the Wisconsin fans next to me did admit to me that our atmosphere blows Wisconsin's out of the water.

It's a real life nightmare.

We're literally better in every single fucking aspect except for the fact that god hates Nebraska football.

Seeing our DB's in real life is painful.

It is......PAINFUL

 

[Brasky]

Yes I'm drunk. Yes I apologize in advance for my inappropriate posts.

 

[Brasky]

This is worse than '07.

As I said on the main board, part of the reason you are fine with the Gaglianone 39 yarder is that even if you miss, you have the three timeouts. You have to run the ball there. You know it. We know it. It's damn tough to get a first down there, but if you throw and miss (pretty likely, right?), you just gave us a timeout to use and at least one (most likely two) additional plays.

We played that by the book. I fully expected to get it back, and I wasn't surprised that we scored. I thought we were in a pretty good spot the whole time, and I was actually a little disappointed with our clock management when we got tackled in the middle of the field short of the first down.

For real. It's like nails on chalkboard.

WE'RE BETTER THAN YOU IN EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ASPECT

We didn't necessarily need the 1st down.

What we needed to do was get pressure on Stave, and we didn't. Even with that Juco level Offensive Line Wisconsin has, we still didn't get pressure. We let him sit back there and feel comfortable, yips and all.

We were at home with one of the greatest home field advantages in all of College Football, and we still couldn't get pressure when we needed it. We gave it away.

Now to hear that Eichorst has plans to dip out to Wisconsin...

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

How ironic is it that in our worst season in 60 years we would actually probably beat Oregon if we played them this year?

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

He could go anywhere and we'd never know.

He's a fuckin mute. Wants to sit back and push all sorts of buttons but not engage with anyone about it.

Beady eyed fuck.

The Big 10 West is soooooo fucked up this year.

We win that game today and it's hard saying what happens. Now Iowa has the keys and pretty much has it set on auto-pilot.
