Iowa game.Good.
I want a nice, comfortable win to hang our hat on and use as positive momentum going through the offseason.
Going from 5 wins to 7 wins feels like progress.
2 losing seasons in a row does not.
That's a pretty big move. Probably made "on air".Money Line moved from BC +115 to +160.
Good pointThey probably knew and wanted to make us game plan for them.
Benard Thomas is laughing.16.5 sacks is just crazy.
Had we won that I may not really even care about the bowl game.Iowa game.
Feel like we should be able to do that with or without their best players. I mean it's Boston College. And what is it, 15 days of bowl practices with our new coordinators for next year. Should be a big win no matter what.Good.

A lot of games should’ve been big wins that weren’t this year.Feel like we should be able to do that with or without their best players. I mean it's Boston College. And what is it, 15 days of bowl practices with our new coordinators for next year. Should be a big win no matter what.
Corcoran still gonna get cooked by backup
So it’s laughable to want there best to play?So odd to celebrate there best players not playing. Weak stance. Guarantee nobody is on the bench that would get 16 sack in a seasonO’Brien will have guys ready to step in. He’s a very good college coach.
I want a W. I don’t care if they have to play one of their male cheerleaders at DE. We’ve had our own departures from our defense and RB room.So it’s laughable to want there best to play?So odd to celebrate there best players not playing. Weak stance.

Agree to disagree. I am looking at this bowl game as game with all the additional practices as game one for 2025 and any coach will say iron sharpens iron. Just my opinionI want a W.

One opposing DE isn’t going to improve our team. Gottula has faced plenty of talent this year. Gimme a W. It’s important IMO.Agree to disagree. I am looking at this bowl game as game with all the additional practices as game one for 2025 and any coach will say iron sharpens iron. Just my opinion
Nah he is the best on that defense. Rather him play. But this is the way things are nowOne opposing DE isn’t going to improve our team. Gottula has faced plenty of talent this year. Gimme a W. It’s important IMO.
The day before the game?
They're a mid-tier east coast team. Which tends to be way weaker than even the old Big 10 West. We should destroy such a team any time we play them.Should be?
That sounds like a Rutgers team to me… We did not blow them out. Hopefully it will be different with DH at the helm of the offense… And it is a blowout. Will know soon enough…They're a mid-tier east coast team. Which tends to be way weaker than even the old Big 10 West. We should destroy such a team any time we play them.

This is just the game he and Kong play. Everyone we play sucks, we should win every game easy. Then if we win, no big deal we were supposed to, and if we lose, fire everyone.
That's really not far from reality. We shouldn't lose to the iowas or Illinois of the world more than once or twice a decade.
That is nice to say, but that has not been who we are or the teams we have fielded for a long time. I hope Rhule gets us there soon, but we have to actually grown and get there.
We should have done that this year. If he goes 6-6 next year, he undoubtedly should be fired.
That's the minimum standard for any blueblood team is to beat up on any east coast afterthought of a program. If we can't accept that as fans, then we need to just erase the blueblood moniker forever, because it's a joke and embarrassment how far the standards have fallen over the last decade. We had nearly 3 full weeks of bowl practices with coordinators which I assume are upgrades over what we previously had. I'm expecting a blowout, especially when the other team is missing their best players. To me, this is the first game of 2025 and I'm expecting a different team to come out and to set the tone for a potential playoff run next year.This is just the game he and Kong play. Everyone we play sucks, we should win every game easy. Then if we win, no big deal we were supposed to, and if we lose, fire everyone.
I watching WSU Cougars play Syracuse. I feel bad for my Coug friends. They have 4-5 players not playing.I hate this BS of players opting out, even when it's our opponent. There's this thing called insurance and playing one last time with your teammates should mean something.
They played it right. Make Nebraska game plan as if they will be there. Why let them know ahead of time. The hay is in the barn now.

Could have. But how could you be sure if it was never mentioned it brought up?I am sure Nebraska planned for both scenarios.

How can you be sure that it wasn’t thought of given the sophistication of a football program like Nebraska?
Top athletes in programs across the country are dropping out of bowl games so why couldn’t he possibly do it.
If it seems logical for fans…I am sure they thought of it.
I'm not SURE it wasn't. I didn't say I was. YOU said you were SURE they thought of it. Which unless you are a coach there is no way you can possibly be SURE they thought of it lol.
You can hope or think or assume they thought of it. But no way we can be sure.
Yes it does seem logical. But how many other things have we seen this year that seemed logical that didn't happen ?

You just say we “should” have like that makes it true. Sure we “should” have just won all our games.
If we win tomorrow that is a 7-win season and progress. Then we “should” get better and take another step next year . But instead of focusing on that, you are already talking about firing the coach. Cool.
