We aren't gonna crack the Top 4 unless one of them stumbles.

Did I mention how bad we need the Nebraska game?

I think someone said something about that.

Dropped one spot to 6th in the coaches poll.

We are getting a ton of respect in the polls. I know everyone always says "top 25 polls don't mean anything", but the reason they are there is to attempt to gauge where teams stand throughout the season. Those who are doing the polls right now gauge us as a consensus top ten team. Maybe we should just relax about the RPI and SOS and just enjoy our team for what they are right now: a top ten team.

I agree with goshox24.

Here is a nice summary of Top 25 action this week.

A win at Nebraska would lend some credibility to our 25-5 record.

I haven't heard the status of Workman (oblique muscle) and Williams (hamstring) for the Nebraska game, but it's possible we will be without both of them.

Josh isn't expected to play tonight

Kenny should be good to go tonight.

Boy, I really agree with this statement. Less than impressive series vs. Creighton and MoSt, and a shaky win vs. K-State have left me feeling like the Shox aren't quite ready for the big time yet. A packed house vs. a Top 10 program will test their mettle.

The offense has been fighting itself a bit the last week and a half and the defense has been a little shaky. Shore up the ship tonight and it could be a marquee win.

I'll be there rooting HARD - let's bring back a huge W.

That's really good to see.

We really need Kenny tonight. Without him, I'd put our chances of winning at around 20%.
