It's kind of hilarious to watch the roomie rant about not seeing his Huskers. It's a youtube worthy spaz attack.

I think Oregon is way overrated being in the top ten but they are slightly less inconsistent than OSU and pull out a close game.

Both teams and QB's make way too many mistakes for me to want to say one team would win for sure because either guy could win or lose the game basically on their own.

What teams would you realistically put in the top 10 over the ducks? And other then the first game at Boise where have they been inconsistent? And what mistakes by Masoli are you referring to?

Also what team do you cheer for moon? (don't take this in an insulting way, i'm actually curious)

I would put Penn St ahead of them, but looking at the rankings I guess with their record they should be in the top ten.

I think there is a big gap between them and the top 6 and not much difference between them and say the next 5-10 teams.

Perhaps with Masoli mistakes isn't the right word but he can be really bad when passing the ball. More a lot of incomplete than perhaps INT's is my issue. So for him his accuracy would be a concern for me, whereas Pryor can make some terrible throws for INTs that kill his team.

I don't have a specific CFB football team that I cheer for. I tend to like the Western teams based on our proximity to it. So Pac-10 and Boise St. would be the teams that I want to see do well and will cheer for.

Recently I have defended USC a lot because I like them better than any of the other major programs and can't stand how overrated the SEC is, but I wouldn't say they are the team I cheer for.

Vandals up 14 on Bowling Green in the third quarter. Not bad for a team who play in the smallest Div 1A Stadium in the country.

Yeah I'd agree on your analysis of Masoli for the most part. The guy does not throw many INT's (5 on the year, 2 of which i'm certain were deflections and therefor not his fault) but can be pretty inconsistent with his passing. However it'd be interesting to see if this would improve if he played for a team where he was able to throw more from the pocket and less on the run.

And yeah I agree. SEC is completely overrated and it sickens me.

Yeah when it's capacity is about the same as the city's population so a bigger one would just mean empty seats.

Man, we have the worst defense. Nobody can tackle. No skill, no speed, nothing.

Weiser Wonder · 12-30-2009, 06:01 PM

Terrible playcalling. Confused players. *shakes head*

transplant99 · 12-30-2009, 06:08 PM

Wild ending to the game...

Bowling green throws a 50 TD pass with 42 seconds or so left, then Idaho throws a bomb to the BG 16 with 16 seconds left but dont call a TO and burn 5 seconds, run a play to 8 seconds the throw a TD with 4 seconds. Then reviewed and stands. Then Idaho goes for 2...and get it to win by 1!!!

Unreal.

Jesse834 · 12-30-2009, 06:10 PM

Wowzers!

MRCboicgy · 12-30-2009, 06:11 PM

Still 4 seconds left. and an unsportsmanlike penalty to boot

But idaho wins it after the best kickoff I've seen forever--from the 15 no less

Weiser Wonder · 12-30-2009, 06:13 PM

WIN!!! What a game!

transplant99 · 12-30-2009, 06:13 PM

And the Huskers up 7-0 on AZ already.

That was a more dramatic version of pretty much every Idaho game this year. We have such a terrible defense but such a powerful offense. It makes for interesting games. Enderle is clutch like few players I've ever seen.

MRCboicgy · 12-30-2009, 07:00 PM

And the Huskers pull out the Wildcat vs the Cats for a 17-0 lead in the 2nd. Suh has been handled well so far, but that just allows the rest of the Nebraska D to bust out.

Of course Suh just has a tackle for a loss.

ricoFlame · 12-30-2009, 07:05 PM

that is a huge win for the vandals, what a resurrection for that program.
