Has anyone confirmed that Purdue is even going to bother to show up???

[jlb321]

seems like all this talk about playing our 2nd or 3rd teams is a bit premature

odds are probably about 50/50 as to whether they opt to play this game

 

[marteau]

very premature. there is no such thing as a 'gimmee" in today's college football world. best to not be over confident

 

[TruHusker]

To save wear and tear on players and their new coaches they have decided to plug stats into Watson and he will develop a full game play by play to be aired for the entire country. This should give our players a bit more rest unless they get injured during commercials.

Might as well rest the coaches too, let the coaches rest too. I'll do it for free. I need a bit of time though to teach the annexation of Puerto Rico to Luke Mcnitt, Jordan Nelson, and my new wide receiver, Caleb Lightbourn.

I have to admit, if a team we beat the year prior talked the kind of smack we are, I'd be a little like "WHATEVS, SCOREBOARD BITCHES"!!!.

 

[shine003]

They kicked our ass last year and just lost their head coach. They beat Illinois as well who gave us a run ...Nebraska better be ready to play.

79-0 nebraska. Rutgers will even laugh.

This ain't 1994 or 1995. Better show up ready for war.

I'm waiting for the thread; "Can board members form a team to beat Purdue?".

does Sparky have enough grandchildren and great grandchildren to field a team yet??
some might have to play on both sides of the ball but that is ok

You obviously have no idea of the amazing athletic prowess on this board. Just ask around, they'll tell you.

I know the limb everyone is going out on is pretty solid. But still, I'm not sure I like a bunch of people jumping up and down on it.

To obvious of an answer, we'd never choose a bad play. We'd also run 75% of the time, and pass 75%, balance.

I like that, and when neither works, punt 75% of the time. The other 75%, we can kick field goals instead of punting.

75% going for it on 4th, but only with plays that work 100% of the time.

They put up 35 points on the Herks last week. Even though we are favored by 23 1/2 right now, the line will probably move down to 17-20. I realize that's a lot but Nebraska better be ready to play and better have learned not to half-ass a game like last against the Boilers.

Nope, 0% chance. A dollar bet online for Purdue is a 1,000,000 payout on Sportsbook. Fact.

I'd take Nebraska -80.

I don't remember posting that they could beat us...and damn that's a lot of money. I just don't want to see us half-ass it again because let's face it, that was miserable.

 

[jay-cheese]

losing to teams you should beat is always miserable...

We just aren't good enough to assume any gimme wins. Plus the walking wounded routine doesn't fill you with confidence.
