You also said northwestern is a 9 win team and they’ve since lost to an FCS and MAC team in back to back weeks
Minnesota looking really good
- Thread starter Pennsyhusker
- Start date
Wish we could play NW again without SF finger prints on the game..
We owe them a lot of thanks for hastening frosts exile
big ten currently sporting two teams ranked in the 120-130 range, as usual
Conference has 4 legit teams of being ranked tOSU, Penn St, Michigan and Minnesota..
Any other teams will end up 8-4 at best..
that's why I don't bring up that prediction lol
That honor of hastening Frost's exit goes to GA Southern. But ND gave him the scare of his life.
Frost looked terrible at the press conference after that ND game? Had NU lost or even won in an ugly way, I think he would have been fired the next day.
If Minnesota goes 12-0...you will say that it's nothing. That I guarantee.
Why? Has little PJ ever beat Iowa?
It’s funny how some think Campbell (who actually did turn around a bad program) would be a poor hire because he can’t beat Iowa, but think Fleck, who also can’t beat Iowa, is amazing.
Congratulations Minnesota ranked 21st.
7 SEC schools ahead of the Gophers.
7 SEC schools ahead of the Gophers.
Road games at MSU, Illinois, PSU, and Wisconsin isn’t easy. Home against Purdue and Iowa. The schedule is no cake walk.
Notice how I didn’t include the trip to Lincoln as an obstacle.
LOL no wonder there's so much trolling on here. You're just asking for it when you talk like that.
How was this trolling? Those are the ranking for this week.
Why are you over here looking for our approval?
Going to be damn interesting to see if in two weeks Busch can get this defense to improve. Very, very important for the rest of our season that we beat Indiana. It is critical. Lose to them and the wheels will come off and we won't win another game. But beat them and then beat Rutgers and Illinois to go 4-3 would give us a fighting chance to win six. We will lose, most likely, to Minnesota and Michigan. That puts us with five losses. Can we beat Purdue on the road? Iowa on the road? Wisconsin at home? If we win two of those three we go 6-6 and make a bowl.
The great intangible factor in all of this is the attitude and mindset of our players right now. Are they even still interested? Do they still want to put in the hard work necessary to win at least six games? Are they happy or pissed that Frost got fired? Or indifferent? Do they view these coaches as interim placeholders and therefore feel no real investment in taking direction from them?
People tend to forget how brutal football is, what a physical toll it takes, and how much work off the field is also required to be a top-flight team. It is not easy and requires commitment. Do the players still have that fire in the belly and that commitment? It has to be hard especially with all of the negative press swirling around. These are, after all, just 18-22 year old guys.
The Indiana game will tell us a lot in answering those questions.
Both our QB and RB rooms are STACKED. As good as Morgan is, the guy behind him is more mobile and has a stronger arm. Already getting playing time this year. And we've been bringing in horses at RB for a few years now.
No, he's not. He just has a hatred for PJ similar to how liberals feel about Trump. He chooses to ignore all the obvious positives and try and slip in a slight here or there, and he can usually get away with it because no nebraska poster will know whether he's accurate or not.
EVERYONE hates Flick. Even you hate him, you just dont realize it. Just take a look at the guy, a really good, hard look. Now, listen to anything he says. Anything. He can be telling his wife to make him a sandwich, or explaining 3rd down metrics or telling the doctor to pull the plug on his elderly grandma, dont matter. Just listen, and then tell yourself you don't hate him. Try it. You cant. Its impossible. No one can. You dont wear a clip on tie, under a sweater vest under a polo, under a maroon half zip with pants that are too short without knowing everyone hates you.
They must be pulling some serious 'Jordan Peele's Get Out' type system up in Minneapolis because I cant imagine how any kid with a normal brain could be excited about having that guy be your leader. Its just gross. And frankly, should be illegal.
Oh, but contrats on your 21 ranking. If I can say one thing about Flick, he is taking advantage of a historically bad West when no one in Nebraska could. So props to him. But....MSU is not good and I will not be the slightest bit impressed until they beat a team with a pulse. Maybe he can pull it off, but I am still thinking they will run Ibrahim into the ground and tear up his knee again before a couple more games.
In the end, only tOSU can stop itself from winning the B1G, they ARE the locomotive of the conference.
No question this team needs to feel good about themselves winning this game would go along way if we could come out with a win…
Fleck is an incredible douche, but at least they know exactly who they are as a team and program. Rowing the boat, all pulling on the same rope, whatever cheesy thing anyone wants to use as a theme, at least they have one.
Yes, I do despise PJ Fleck. He is a selfish slime ball that is about PJ and only PJ. I literally cannot stand him, I’ve made no secret about that.
But everything I have stated is a fact. It looks like Minnesota has a good team this year and very well may win the West, which could change things, but to date he has been no better than the coaches before him, just better at self promoting. I’m not ignoring any positives, but you sure are choosing to ignore some major negatives.
Just kidding(partly though , have cousins they marriage there that protest everything. It’s annoying) . But Your team is really goood this year. Enjoy it.
Yeah, if you cherry pick the data you can get it to look any way you want. Trump just ran with Obama's economy too, right?
Your hatred of the man completely biases your opinion, so much so, that you don't even notice the bias.
But I will give you credit for having some stones, it takes a lot to sit and argue with another team's fans while thinking that you know more about the team than they do.
Classic cherry-picking! News flash - teams that lose a lot of starters aren't really the same team the next year, at least mediocre teams like Kill's Gophers. (Obviously tOSU and 'bama can reload, the Kill/Claeys Gophers, not so much.)
No, he'll somehow chalk it up to no one from MN entering the service or some crap like that. That's his schtick when it comes to the Gophers.
Not ignoring any positives??? GTFO with a statement like that lol. All you "claim" is that he's achieving the same results as Kill and that simply isn't true. I could list a bunch of facts that support what I'm saying, but you'll just ignore them and eventually pivot back to "he inheritied a 9-4..." blah blah blah.
If you take the view from the moon, the results might seem kinda close. But get in a dig a bit and it's quite different.
I'd find this accurate. I'm very conservative myself. Love Trump. Minneapolis is VERY liberal, but I don't think too many of those people follow sports much, certainly not college football.
Perhaps your fandome has biased your opinion, as you are choosing to ignore all his negatives and the actual results. Not exactly objective.
BTW. You are on a Nebraska message board arguing with Nebraska fans. Let that reality sink in. I didn’t go to your board, if you even have one, because I don’t care what you think about Nebraska. Yet here you are. If you are so happy with your coach, why is it important that Nebraska fans worship him like you do? That’s just weird.
Scott Frost is a .500 (35-38 record) coach. With a National Championship to his credit.
You should have kept him.
