Just like your prediction vs Michigan state?

I have my doubts we can beat Oregon again. They were dealing with OL injuries that have since been resolved, and I'm not sure our front 7 can repeat our last performance.

That being said, we play Oregon well because we can match up with them athletically which really negates their advantage. Add in the fact our defense practices against an up-tempo offense every day in practice and you get a defensive rotation that knows what they're doing against Oregon.

It would be a clutch time for us to Bear the fuck Down

Anyone read the article on Yahoo about the AD emailing all the players via university email that Pelini was fired? It has all the subsequent tweets from players. To say the least...Nebraska football is in trouble.

"Still, with so many players away from Lincoln, I’m not sure what Eichorst could have done differently."

Perhaps, he could have waited until yesterday?

I wonder what would happen to me if I got on a table here at the Union and yelled that? Think I would get thrown out?

Average attendance is up, team at 6-6 is Bowl eligible but Blazers football is no more. Not enough $$$$$.

Man, I'm for about anything that'll help OU sneak into one of those last bowl spots, but that's a little extreme just to help us out!

Navy has plenty of cash as opposed to the other service academies athletic teams which function as a part of the school's budget. Not too long ago when Army's football team was told they couldn't travel to play because of the impact of the governemnt shutdown it was Navy's Athletic Association that paid for the Black Nights to be able to have their game.

Rich Rodriguez has been named Pac-12 coach of the year. Oh the irony of the timing for this announcement.
