It’s now -5 already. Opened at -7.

I just read, since joining the Big Ten, Nebraska has lost 10 Big Ten games by 30 or more. Iowa has lost 1 by 30 or more in the same time period.

I wish I did. This is just my own observation from following 10 games a week for 5+ years. It’s the same every year. Actually, since Sagarin always ends up under 50% on the year, I pick the opposite of sagarin, to get above 50% slightly. But I’d be well over 50% if I’d go with Sagarin for...

Yes I agree. A lot of the time Sagarin is pretty close to Vegas and that wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t a valid model.

Actually the next two weeks will show how good our WRs are this year. Last year our WRs weren’t able to get open at all vs PSU. Our NFL TEs were able to get open sometimes but our WRs looked like boys among men for the most part.

It’s actually the opposite. FWIW, I’ve been following the sagarin line vs the Vegas spread for about 5 years. Looking at 10 games a week, Sagarin is well above 50% early in the season but we’ll below 50% later in the season, every year. I think it’s because Vegas is more accurate later in the...

It probably wouldn’t happen but I was wondering if IKM shouldn’t redshirt this year. He looked very good against ISU but there’s such a log jam with three juniors all pretty close in talent. We might need him in two years.

I think LB could be improved. Specifically, #49 gets in position well but he’s a little slow and not really an aggresive tackler, imo. Not sure how that translates when we play better teams. I feel like Mike LB is an upgrade from last year.

We’ve got to beat Wisconsin. There’s not much way around it. If we beat Wisconsin we could even afford losses to Penn State and Michigan and still win the West. I think Wiscy loses to aOSU, only and hopefully us.

We would have been much better off if Michigan would have won that game, on many levels. Now, I fully expect Michigan to play their best game of the year against Iowa. We could still win but it’s going to be tougher.

On defense, Iowa needs to take away Wisconsin's biggest threat, Taylor, and force the QB to beat us. Wisconsin likes to go up to 8 OL sometimes, in smashmouth fashion, so you can't let them out physical you. I'd play Amani Jones at LB with the assignment to take out Taylor every play (maybe in...

We were 16th. Beat Rutgers and dropped to 23rd and then beat ISU and dropped to 37th.

They have literally never recruited top ten other than maybe a couple years in the Osborne era.

Kirk said in his postgame, from his view, Rutgers was getting too much penetration, too often and it's going to be something to work on. I think that's accurate. Part of it is probably that we played a lot of different combinations, due to the Jackson injury, still figuring it out. I'm not...

Seriously maybe Deace is right. Maybe Frost did lose the team, at least some, playing felony porn boy. However I also think Nebraska might have been the most overhyped 4-8 team in history, a team that LOST their best RB and best WR. It does look like they got some decent players off the...

I think you and I both know there is no way in hell Frost gets fired for anything other than losing football games. If he wins a few games he's probably firing the admin and AD before they fire him LOL. Actually, if you read the police report for Maurice Washington, charged with a felony in...

Let's face it, if Penn State didn't have an advantage to gain, Sandusky would have been in jail about 10 to 15 years sooner. It would have raised way too many questions about how long Paterno knew and that's why Paterno played his cards the way he did. Sandusky was like a boiling frog for...

This isn't directed at you necessarily but the Big Ten should kick Nebraska out. They are currently playing a player charged with a felony. That is a fact. It's an embarrassment to the whole conference, to say the least. I'm really surprised the Big Ten doesn't have a policy about not playing...

Oh I'm guessing Frost would be gone, probably even at Nebraska but maybe not. Here's what one poster wrote that I thought was pretty spot on. Mistakes are alcohol, vandalism, maybe marijuana, and general college stupidity. More than mistakes are sexual assaults, dragging girls down stairs...
