Re: Football musings

Last? Are you crazy? The team had a down week and is in the 2nd game of a new scheme and coaching stuff. Im 50/50 on if Bo was the right choice but he won't let this team finish last. I don't myself expect miracles from this team but they will finish better than last. SJSU is a horrible team no defending that but watch last weeks game and you likely woulden't come to the same conclusion.

I also expect wins against CU (did you catch that game today?) and KSU

And btw it's Pelini

Complete Team Schedule


Ok, let's break this down. Missouri at home. Sure NU could win but that looks like a loss.

@ Tech....last time it was 70ish to less than that. Loss

@ISU...big game. As I said, better win that one. I'd bet ISU will be a 1 point favorite. Let's say win.

Baylor @ home....no gimmie but should be a win.

@ OU Loss. Next.

KU @home. Doesn't look good in fact KU has really outplayed NU a lot lately without the wins to show it. Loss

@KSU Could win but KSU will be favored. Loss

Colorado @home. Should win but there have been some odd games in this series....If they come into this game having lost to either ISU or Baylor then they'll be in real trouble.

I think the most likely finish is 3-5 & that will probably be 4th place in the north.

It just proves there is a God in heaven.

Nebraska sucks and everything is great!

[engrshock]

surprised not to see KSU on that top 10 list as well. Thought their schedule was usually weaker than the Jayhawks was. On a side note, did anybody catch that HORRIBLE unsportsmanlike conduct call on Washington that cost them a chance to tie the game against BYU? Absolutely horrible call.

By definition the call was correct but how can you expect a player who has just scored a TD to hopefully tie a game at the end and not display any emotion. How can you practice situations like that to try and dampen your players emotions after a situation like that? I think most of us know unsportsmanlike behavior when we see it and that was not it.

What'd he do?

[CharlieHog]

After he scored he tossed the ball over his shoulder. Not towards anybody, just tossed it.

College football really needs to look at this because it ruins the game.

Still, even with a penalty, it's a chip shot field goal to make the XP. No reason not to make it.

[shock10]

College football starting to $uck like the pro game bad call the no fun league.

[shockerfanmas]

charlie, it wasn't so much that he missed it, but that it was blocked. Now, I agree, there's no guarantee that without the penalty, it still wouldn't have been blocked, but because of a BS rule, we'll never know.

[SubGod22]

I'm not sure I'd call it a BS rule. It's one that's been around forever. You should know as well as anyone that rules are followed if you want to play or stay in the game. If you break them you're punished. You may not agree with the rule but there is a difference. There are rules I don't agree with in HS basketball but I still have to follow and call the game that way.

[shoxtop]

Personally, I think it should be more of a judgement call, much like hanging on the rim in basketball...

[CharlieHog]

You're never allowed to hang on the rim in celebration. It's only acceptable when avoiding landing on somebody.

I think college athletes should be allowed to celebrate and have fun.
