Good/quality win

[oaknightshockey1]

Alex henery is great..he can do no wrong. The kick that went out of bounds was because Dan beebe spit on the ball changing the direction

it wasn't henery, it was kunalic

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Alex Henery didn't kick that ball anyways........

Adi Kunalic did.....

i missed this one apparently

All I kept hearing on Monday was that the NW game last Saturday was "good win". Apparently because we came from behind and battled back on the road to win. I just can't bring myself to think that a road win against NW in front of Nebraska fans that forced the "home team" into a silent count because the road fans were so loud and there was so many of them.

As for quality wins, I believe those can change. I see "quality wins" as games to build off of and use momentum from. Nebraska had what seemed to be good quality wins in 2010 with back to back wins against Oklahoma St and Missouri. But then followed it up with the debacle in A&M, the Big 12 title game and the bowl game. Any momentum gain was quickly gone. Last year had a good quality win against Michigan St. But then how did we build off of that? I think we all know the answer to that. I don't believe Bo to have a quality win. He has some good wins but not a quality win because Nebraska loses momentum quickly!!!

BTW, stop it!!!! Texas won!!!! Get over it!!!!!

It was a joke..........jeepers!

That win over Arizona was a quality win to me though.......

We dropped them like a sack of potatoes en sech.....

I just don't like using rankings as measuring sticks for "quality wins"........beings as rankings are all biased and out of control......

So by your definition Northwestern can become a quality win?

And yes, I pointed out elsewhere Nebraska's lost 3 out of 4 and 3 out of 5 the last 2 seasons.
I remember a couple years ago Bo talking about how much they were stressing that they wanted to "finish strong". A repeat of that would put NU at 7-5 this year.

Not necessarily. Top 15 teams are generally 10 wins or better at seasons end. I consider that quality.

Fair point

One thing I hate about the rankings is that they don't nearly take SOS enough into consideration though......

It's like voters just see the amount of wins a team has and they vote accordingly er sumptin....

 

[iruletheskool]

Like how Ohio is somehow ranked??

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Ohio's win over Penn State gives them an argument I think.......but yes, I see where you're coming from thar

 

[iruletheskool]

Right after penn state went through thee biggest distraction circus in the history of football, and before they got theirn act together

If Nebraska beats Mich and continues to spring board themselves upwards then I would cal the NW game a good win and the Mich game a quality win.

I know things are different now but I just can't bring myself to calling a win on the road against and unranked traditionally low level program where we had more fans than the "home" team, a quality win.

Today would be a good win

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Honestly I find the Wisconsin, Michigan, and Michigan State games all to be "good" wins.

I don't know how to really define "quality" wins or whatever.........but those 3 were good wins to me.

Michigan State is the best 5-4 team of all time.
