Week 0: Flailing Frosts and Fidgeting Fitzgeralds Meet in a Dublin Pub

[HawkGold]

Win and move to the next. Frost did that. NW has been a pain for him.

Northwestern overcame a terrible Nebraska team, and worse refs today. Thanks for the quick buck, Frosty.

I run a pick ‘em at work with about 80 people in it, and not one single person took nebraska at -13. I don’t think there’s ever been a time where everyone picked the same team

Halfway to a $1000 payout if Hawaii wins, and they've made me money winning their first home game the past three years. The question is whether I cave to the $400 payout between now and kickoff. My only regret it taking Northwestern -11 instead of money line, but I chose the parlay which I still feel good about.

Losing 400 that you already have would hurt more. But I’m cheap.

Illinois game sounds like there’s 80 people there maybe.

NW lineman blocking 3 Huskers…..luv it, Swiss cheese Nebby defense!

Quietly, their D has been salty the last couple of years, definitely carrying the load for boy-genius's offense. But they lost a ton from that D to graduation. If their D is soft this year, combined with their always unreliable offense, it could get ugly. I mean, they have lost 7 in a row, so it is already ugly, so I guess uglier?

 

[HuckFinn]

Well, ol’ Herby picked Nebbie to win the West. How did that work out for you?

There is always banjo playing or cooking if this football thing does not work out for Flop.

I didn't even take the points, I took NW on the moneyline.

A friend of mine was at the game...he shared this from the stadium.

Nebraska is a double digit favorite I think NW will keep it close if they don't outright win it. Fitzgerald just needs to keep the game close and watch Frost choke. We(Iowa fans) know the formula.

Imagine being on a trans Atlantic flight next to that guy

 

[Casey388]

easiest bet ever to take NW +11,12,13 or whatever the spread is.

I didn't even take the points, I took NW on the moneyline.

Same here. Small bet but still a win.

I'm thinking he came by ship. Cargo ship.

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Best 0-1 team in all of college football.
