Nebraska playing Bethune-Cookman this late in the year is stupid
October 27th, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^
They're just taking a page out of Alabama's playbook.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:25 PM ^
It’s more stupid when Bama does it
October 27th, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
They had to. Their home opener against Akron was cancelled due to bad weather, so this was a last minute scheduled makeup game.
Honestly, if I’m Nebraska I’m glad I have this game now against an overmatched opponent. First win last week, get another one this week to build some confidence and try finishing the season with a little bit of momentum.
October 27th, 2018 at 4:03 PM ^
They scheduled this game on Sept. 20 after starting 0-2 with the sole intention of picking up an easy win and getting bowl eligible. They looked down the line and could easily see 6 losses. Well they got their 6 losses. Bowl aint happenin, but they can look back at their beatdown of a school with 3,500 students with pride. I have zero love lost or sympathy for Nebasker or Frost.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
They deserve to have this game. The Akron game was cancelled. And dont act like you hate Nebraska. We are all Nebraska fans the next 3 weeks. They play osu msu and our biggest rival Illinois. After that you can hate them again
October 27th, 2018 at 12:21 PM ^
Sadly, I think Wisconsin is just too strong on the ground for Northwestern to really compete, even with Hornibrook out.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
Not so fast, my friend!
Northwestern about to tie it up with the XP attempt...
October 27th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
Cats up 21!!!!!
October 27th, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
Sheesh, Purdue can't stop MSU in the air.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
MSU looking better than I thought against Purdue. Hard to ever actually root for them, but technically if they win it's good for us.
FSU looking decent against Clemson. long shot because Florida state is terrible, but they have the horses to put up a fight I think.
rooting for Wisconsin over Northwestern, if Wisconsin gets ranked again that's good for us. Northwestern's never going to be ranked.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
Would we rather play Purdue, or Wisconsin again...
October 27th, 2018 at 12:38 PM ^
Very good question, I think we can take both.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^
Iowa is quite possibly better than either of them.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
October 27th, 2018 at 12:45 PM ^
I disagree. Guess we'll find out later today.
October 27th, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
I'm impressed with the B1G today. I think there are a number of barely Top 25ish caliber B1G teams that will be knocking each other off. Wisconsin, the Good Northwestern, Michigan State, Purdue. We'll find out about Penn State and Iowa later today. I'd place them slightly above that four team peloton. Above them in my book is the execution-plagued OSU which has four-and-five starred its way to 16 to 25 point wins over bottom half B1G teams (Minnesota and Indiana), but got caught with its pants down against the Purdue team playing like a 25ish team.. And of course, at the top is playoff-caliber Meechigan.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
Northwestern
October 27th, 2018 at 5:47 PM ^
I don't think either of those teams will make it since they both lost.
It's hard to believe that Purdue lost since they were the best team in the Big 10.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^
50 yd KR by Moore. Shocking. /s
October 27th, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
And zero points from it. That MSU defense looks legit right now. They're playing fast.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
October 27th, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
Clemson-FSU scoreless towards end of 1st Q!
October 27th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
oops that might be about to change
October 27th, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
Anyone else on YouTubeTV absolutely LOVING the live stream in the tile feature?
When tuning away from commercials you can see what's on another channel in the tile and avoid ones also playing commercials.
Infinitely more effective in just watching actual game time.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
I'd rather have a picture-in-picture feature. Currently, I've just got two browsers open next to each other.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
This is sort of the same thing, but it doesn't stay up persistently.
It would be so easy for them in the app to allow me to place few tiles on the bottom of the screen that stay put and just switch between them.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Get Dish Network. Why? 1) It is great. 2) See this: https://www.dish.com/dig/news/watch-four-games-at-once-with-sports-bar-mode/
I will never get any other TV service, at least not until some other company gets this feature. Dish has great technology and it’s less expensive than DIRECTV.
October 27th, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
That's sweet. Not sure about switching to Dish overall, but that feature looks pretty sublime.
October 27th, 2018 at 3:00 PM ^
I had Dish and it went out frequently during rain or snowstorms. I don't have a lot of faith in satellite dishes since then.
October 27th, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
October 27th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Watching Florida State and Clemson I'm honestly not impressed. FSU seems to suck less than they did earlier in the year, Clemson's play on the field isn't close to passing the #2 team in the country eye test yet.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
True.
Losing is obviously worse, but if they look awful and pull out a close one, still not great for the resume.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:01 PM ^
That said, Francois is just an awful quarterback. He's throwing even worse than Lewerke did last week. Doubt Clemson loses this game.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:45 PM ^
For the love of God, Brock Huard is absolutely impossible to listen to.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
Michigan leads IU 7-0 in the game I'm tuned in to on my transistor radio.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
October 27th, 2018 at 2:25 PM ^
Can you hop in your Studebaker and pick me up a pack of Pall Malls?
October 27th, 2018 at 12:50 PM ^
missed FG and penalty whoa
edit, big break for Clemson
October 27th, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
I absolutely loved what they did to OSU last weekend but I have a feeling Purdue will not come close to looking that good the rest of the year. That doesn't mean they can't win today...but they look pretty stupid so far.
Their secondary is leaving guys wide open a little too often.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:00 PM ^
Not to mention OSU quit early. If OSU plays hard that’s probably a 2-TD final, not 49-20.
October 27th, 2018 at 12:58 PM ^
Great catch called incomplete in the Northwestern-Wisconsin game. Under review now.
edit: call overturned. Northwestern third & goal at the 1 now in a 7-7 game.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:01 PM ^
So Clemson up 7, after their FG attempt was wide, hope FSU can step up.
6-3 Sparty, how did this Purdue team eviscerate OSU?
October 27th, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
Buckeye defense is turrible this year.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
That Moore still on his feet with half MSU on him!
October 27th, 2018 at 1:05 PM ^
Northwestern-Wisconsin is at commercial, but NU has 4th & goal at the half-yard line. They lined up to go for it and Wisconsin called timeout, hence the commercial. Big play upcoming.
Edit: Wisconsin with the goal line stand.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
Getting more difficult for FSU now with Clemson up 2 scores.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
I love BYE weeks after a big win. Just sit down relax and watch footbaww!!
October 27th, 2018 at 1:20 PM ^
Agreed. Bye weeks after beating Sparty were a common thing during the Lloyd years. Most notably the Chris Perry game and Braylonfest.
October 27th, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
Flag on NW TD....
edit, incredible Thorson TD!!
