    Can this stat be correct?

    Nebraska has been penalized for holding 10 times through 5 games and 341 offensive snaps. Our opponents? Exactly zero (0) holding penalties on 377 defensive snaps.

    Somebody posted this elsewhere. Unbelievable if true.

    @JJ Husker I wouldn't go as far as to say it's intentional. I would say there is a lot of bias involved. a) "Nebraska is bad so they need to hold" or "Nebraska is bad so that play would have gotten a lot of yards regardless" may be going through the referees' subconscious. b) There are probably more people that dislike Nebraska than dislike the other bad teams, since Nebraska was great once. If I had to guess I bet you Northwestern doesn't get called for holding as much because they're the cute underdog team. So there is more potential for subconscious bias there.

    I wonder what kind of conversations go on behind the scenes with the officials when something like this comes out in the media.

    The DMV sucks. Not just because they are the epitome of slow, uncaring government service but primarily because there are so many horrible drivers on the road.

    In Vegas, you call and schedule and appointment, you get a message via text and hour before your number is called, then 30 mins, 15 mins and 5 mins. You sit around in the last 15 mins for another hour and wait for your number gets called while you continue to get texts telling you it's 5 mins until you're called, then all of a sudden it's 15 mins, 30 mins and then it fluctuates back and forth.  I hate the DMV with a passion.

    @GSG For title work, license plates etc. we go to the Weld County Clerk and Recorder. They do have appointment times since Covid started. I had to register and license a trailer recently and it was quick and painless. Usually you can plan on wasting an hour plus there without an appt. I don't know what the DMV is doing currently other than obviously not making sure people can actually safely operate a vehicle. We've been renewing our driver's licenses online and that works okay but God help you if you have to go there in person.

    I've only had to visit the DMV once since I moved to Colorado - when I first moved here almost 20 years ago. All my renews have been online.

    I don’t care what you say, this is not better than a completely cancelled season.

    I hear your frustration.  But glad we got the games because otherwise we would know nothing and be like having our heads in the sand.  Right now we know a lot.  Completely sucks but we know quite a bit.

    Thanks guys. It's a tough one. He was a neighbor when we were just young kids and went to school and played sports with him all the way through HS. First one of our tight knit HS group to fall. I feel particularly bad for his wife and family. 57/58 is just too young and it hits too close to home.

    Reminder- Bud Crawford fight on ESPN tonight 9CST

    He was working that overhand right the whole fight. If Brook didn't just happen to step into the one that damaged him his eye would have been swollen shut before the end of the night. That was his weakness and Bud saw it early.

    The first fight, the aussie got robbed.  Bud did well but prior to that it was a pretty even fight, then he caught him when he stepped in.  Enjoyed the fight.

    Sad, Very Sad.

    Man, I am shaken by this, not stirred. 

    Also, could the old Bond movies be made today or would the crazies lose it over how he ummmm, handled women.

    Why are B1G officials so absolutely terrible at getting review calls correct?

    JJ Husker
    JJ Husker
    I mean they suck at the initial calls also but with additional time and views....and they still get it wrong repeatedly.

    JJ Husker
    Woohoo! We're bowl eligible.

    Because of this, and IF they play bowl games, I have to think we will play ten games this year.  With the size of our fan base and how many will watch on TV, I have to think someone would invite us.....unless we have a disastrous season.

    JJ Husker
    @GSG if you get evacuated, you can watch the game(s) at my place. :lol:

    That fire is out of control. I see they’re evacuated right up to the west side of Horsetooth. Getting close to Estes and the west side of Loveland. Another day like today and I’ll have to be concerned.

    Haha! I appreciate the offer @JJ Husker! I'm hoping it clears up soon. Today was just gross

    Texas is an undisciplined poorly coached team loaded with talent. Thank you Tom Herman.

    Not a fan of either team but fun game though...college football is back! 

    JJ Husker
    October 24th? That’s still 5 weekends without football and no room for any hiccups.

    @ZRod I don't think it's the smartest thing to do, but then I think they should have had whatever meeting they had with whatever doctors convinced them to play a couple of weeks ago, too. This rapid-testing they're using has been available for more than a month.

    JJ Husker

    I guess I understand (not accept) the delayed meeting but to finally have the meeting, approve the season, and then set it for 6 weeks out. Why, why was the 5.5+ week delay necessary?

    My theory is twofold. They're arrogant and stubborn and wanted it to look more like what they had determined previously. And number 2, more arrogance and stubbornness, they're secretly hoping they can once again cancel by that later date, to validate their earlier decision. Why else wait more than 2 or 3 weeks to get it going? Am I failing to see something?

    @knapplc I've kind of moved more towards it's probably ok to play ball (some what selfishly, but sports can be done safely). I don't think the crowds are a good idea because people are stupid and don't follow rules.

    But really the B1G screwed the pooch on this and no matter what they do they look like bumbling idiots. No leadership and no clear direction after an entire summer to make a plan, or set some requirements before play could happen. From supposedly one of the more accademic power 5 conferences.

    I may officially be a Broncos fan but dang, I love watching Mahomes and the Chiefs play. And that Edwards-Helaire kid is a great addition for them.

    JJ Husker
    JJ Husker
    I’m supposed to hate the Chiefs but I just can’t. Don’t tell anybody but I’ll probably be pulling for them even when they play Denver. Maybe because I don’t like to lose... :lol:
