Quote from Nebraska A.D.
"You've got Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh thinking, 'We better put a little more into that Nebraska game coming up.' And that's the way we want it. They're running a little bit scared right now. And they won't admit it. We'll leave that at that."
Can't wait for this game. One of my best friends is a longtime Husker fan. I brought him with me the last time they played in the big house and plan on bringing him again this year. I'm sure he'll leave disappointed again. Go Blue!
edit: was thinking of 2011 game
in an embarrasingly, unexpected way...
....may not be scott's mom, but definitely scott's bitch!
The Hierarchy of power would presume that the AD is in fact his Grandmother
One of the hardest hitting comments from an AD I've ever read.
and go to bed
Nothing like a complete out of context quote to make me wonder why we are running scared
so not good.
But at least they didn't go 3-9 and trash talk....THAT would be embarrassing....
TOSU fan here.
TOSU, UM and MSU have consistently had some of the best defenses in the conference, and all are recruiting well.
The only people who will be running scared are anybody in the Nebraska backfield.
....or their fanbase!
That defense last year made some of Rich Rod's squads look like the '85 Bears.
asking for a friend....
You are correct, good catch. Guess I was thinking of the whoopin' we put on them in 2011. Wow, that seems likes ions ago now that I think about it.
Probly some brain synapse thing...
That game can rot in hell.
Nebraska with their 115th ranked defense and our offense could muster just 13 points on them (the touchdown was thanks to them losing a fumble deep in their own territory.)
I watched Wyoming put up nearly 700 yards of offense on that same Nebraska D in Lincoln. What a joke.
The most memorable thing about that game was debating whether or not Mary Sue Coleman was drunk when she spoke to the crowd at halftime.
or drunk as a skunk. or Pie eyed, or Pissed as a Newt, or Well Oiled...
Well you the the drift here.
....there is no debate....
no doubt she was STRUGGLING, wonder if she had a chance to kiss anyone....
Just like we shouldn't be worring about any West teams when Ohio St. is in our division. Let them talk, and let's not do any on this. We have plenty of our own stuff to worry about.
My point is why do our fans give a crap what Nebraska says?
Because we're Michigan fans? Because M and N have a history called the 1997 National Championship? If you don't give a crap don't comment on the thread. If you're so above it all, why do you even deign to give a crap about us giving a crap?

Why do we need to have a pissing contest with Nebraska over 1997? We have 1.0 National Titles from that year. We can proudly celebrate it without putting down a cross division "rival" we play 4 times a decade.
Have fun dealing with the 1,000 LBs they have murdering your team
They also got blown out at home by Iowa last year.
It's just because the AD couldn't remember that the Wisconsin head coach is... ummm... you know, that guy who... uh...
Anyway, MEIJER!!! HARBAWWW!!! BOOM!!!
we've seen what difference a coaching change can make.
Hoke's worst team was better than Nebraska thought they were last year. They have no defense. None. I think they field a DII defense, if they're lucky.
...running scared. Scott Frost is a pretty intimidating guy. And his 4-8 Huskers looked to be almost murderers last year if you discount their losing to Northern Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota (badly).
He's a good coach, and maybe his Huskers will be really good in a year or two, but I don't think they are a team to be running scared from this year.
Prepare for them like you would any other team.
What else is he supposed to say? "We built a team that is still lightyears away from competing in B1G. Please keep buying tickets till then". :D Those games will be fun nonetheless.
How about just saying nothing?
There's a wide gap between "They're scared" and "We're a long way from competing in this conference."
There are numerous other things he could have said. Be real.
You guys are taking him too seriously.
Or say, "we brought in a coach who we expect to put us in a position to win. We look forward to the challenge."
Saying that schools are running scared though just seems silly.
LOL. Someone needs to tell this guy we have beat Ohio State twice in seventeen years. Our little brother has reached the pinnacle of their program history and beat us in bunches while our team has suffered countless heartbreaks. We are not afraid of Nebraska, or anyone really. Once you have experienced what we've gone through, why would we be scared of the prospect of one more potential loss? When you have experienced rock bottom, you become free. Go chirp at someone with something to lose.
Kind of like when my then wife told me she was wanting to stop her sister from getting married and I, for some reason, said "Well, tell him to look at us. He'll run to his car and leave a mile long tire mark escaping when he understands"... I had no idea where that came from and she was not amused and would have downvoted my remark if she could...
but I meant to help when I said it...
times are changing in the land of corn......even their AD is out hitting ours now!
we should have Warde challenge him to a sumo match.
Ohio State beat you 56-14 in Lincoln last year. And it could have been worse than that. If they put any more thought in to beating you, they'd win by 100.
And f*** you for making me defend Ohio State.
