At this point, you guys know I love handing out nicknames — to players, certain games, etc.

Got a new one for Heinrich Haarberg in evaluating the Skers’ QB1:

Nebraska (3-3 overall; 2-1 at home) opens as a double-digit home favorite for the third time this season over Northwestern (3-3 overall; 0-2 on the road)

Full details on the spread, over/under and betting trends for both teams:

CSU down by 20 with 4 minutes left and come back and win.

3 TDs, 3 onside kick attempts, 1 hail mary,

Some fun endings for late night football this week.

Having a hell of a game for ND.

Bumping this thread to see where we were right, and where I was fvcking stupid.

Anybody else get a look at this guy? They had a ground level shot of him trotting onto the field yesterday and he looks like a 54 year old plumber. I have never seen a more unathletic looking D1 player, especially at a skill position, in my life. Please please please don't let us lose to them.

Illinois up 7-0 early in the 1st.

Who ya got?

Wow

This dude just wins every where he goes

95-11 as a head coach

Crazy

Iowa just won a game with 37 passing yards today.

Three weeks ago, they lost to Penn State by 33, while getting 7 first downs, with their starting QB. Meanwhile Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State put up over 150 points, while giving up 14. Iowa has to face one of those three if they win their putrid division.

Thankfully this is the last year we have to see a West team get smashed by an East team. Reminds me of the Big 12 North vs South, when the conference was all about Texas, and Oklahoma.

@jansencoburn and I were at Buell Stadium Friday night to check out the big one in Class A. Check out my thoughts on the game.

Justin Pugh… Straight off the couch.
