I’ll start the live thread now that the availability report is out. No surprises here:



Tip is slated for 3 p.m. The game will be shown on Peacock.

Here’s a preview of the game:


Sort of a busy day with being on the road for the Wisconsin game. I’ll do my best to keep up with the basketball game.

GBR!

36 - 0 Buckeyes. There is a hole in the boat. Gophers lose to Wisconsin next week and PJ is sitting at home over the holidays.

Lincoln Riley is about to be 7-5 with a heisman and number 1 overall pick qb. Stick a fork in them.

Makes me sick and passed off with a former interim head coach at Northwestern that they are now bowl eligible and Nebraska is not.

Taking CU behind the woodshed lol. Go Cougs!

"If Oklahoma hadn't lost those two games they'd be right in the championship conversation"

Color guy on the Oklahoma-BYU game.

Been thinking about this a bit, and I can’t shake the notion that these last two 2 games are going to be very telling with regards to our coaching staff. So take note. Last week’s loss was very disappointing, you felt it in your gut, you saw it in the eyes of anyone and everyone who cares about this program and university. So… how do you respond to adversity and morale crushing disappointment? And it may not be quantified by whether we win or lose, but how they play. And if they play their guts out, and still lose, how do they respond to that?

I think these two games will be key indicators of what we can expect from this staff going forward, JMO. I obviously hope they’re able to keep the kids motivated and believing. And if that’s obvious and apparent it will give me a lot more faith these guys (or at least most of them) have what it takes to turn this shit around. That’s all, just some thoughts on Friday night before a big game. Have at it and gbr!

Just was listening to the OWH Pick Six podcast and Sam McKewon mentioned that in 2002, the coaches wanted to play Curt Dukes over Jammal Lord (as Lord was taking an absolute pounding every game) but Dukes refused to play. Anybody remember this and have any more info? Just thought it was interesting to hear after all these years!

Must mean Sims is playing.

Didn’t make his official to Ohio State reason unknown

Underdog today vs Purdue but currently up 6-0. With a win today they become bowl eligible. How is it we dominate teams like this, but yet they seem to go bowling so much easier than we do? So frustrating.

10 in SF

Haven’t left the country for 15 years and was wondering any resorts and or countries people have had good luck at. Planning to go in February of next year and I appreciate any input!

Drove into Madison a day early for the game. Any bars I need to hit for sure? Or anything to do? Here alone for the next 2 nights. Let me know. GBR!!

Kenny Lofton out effective immediately? Who has the inside scoop?

Michigan is in deep trouble.

Story from McGuire's Thursday night interview on Huskers Radio Network:

Best season in their history, Harding University #1 seed.
Playing Colorado School of Mines for the National Championship. Mines is tough -- It would be Harding's first ever Natty. It's their first Finals appearance ever.

Anyone else getting the Michigan home announcers on the Fox game vs Maryland or is it just my TV?

Got to talking with a friend who knows the college football world. He claimed Matt Ruhle to be "milktoast". Didnt feel he was charasmatic enough and cited offensive dud everywhere he has coached.
I dont necessarily agree and feel like we cant judge until after next year when he has a qb worth a salt. Maybe im wrong but i like MR and find him charasmatic.
So how does this board feel about him almost 12 months in? He crushed the offseason but has lost winnable games in season. Im torn, know he isnt going anywhere but that thread got me thinking about how he has done this far.

It's frustrating to drop two winnable games on a row. 100% understand that. I personally didn't think this team would win more than 4 or 5 games.

This is already the best Matt Rhule has done in his first year at a program, and he did it with shit at QB. Sims was a miss, but let's not pretend coming to Nebraska after the dumpster fire we've been the past 7 years is an easy sell.

There is promise on the defense, our shitty offense is down to 3rd & 4th string at multiple positions. The fact we won games that would be surefire losses last year is already progress.

We will never see an offense this bad under Rhule again, the ship will be righted.
