So, looking at ESPN early predictions and it says

"Foster Farms Bowl: UCLA vs. Nebraska

(Dec. 26, 9:15 p.m., ESPN)

This game is a major mismatch for the second consecutive year, as Josh Rosen and the Bruins will dissect Nebraska's defense and send the Huskers to 5-8 in Mike Riley's first season. UCLA 45, Nebraska 24"

So, I am glad we get the bowl as we need to continue to get better. Really tough opponent and one we have played recently over the years. With a Pac-12 tie-in, I would have liked to have seen us match up against Arizona St., Arizona, or Cal to get a new Pac-12 team to go against since we have recently played Washington, UCLA, USC and will be playing Oregon soon. That being said we have to make the most of the situation and get ready for a game in which we will be a major dog. I live in SoCal so hear a lot about USC and UCLA. I have come to like USC's program more with the tradition and history. Mora was OK at first but I have come to not like the guy. I have friends that are big UCLA fans (I will say their fan base is usually pretty cool) but lately I have not liked the team led by Mora. Watch him on the sidelines...the guy is one of the worst in college football always cussing somebody out. Will be a contrast in coaches and hope Mr. Nice Guy wins this one!

So we beat a college playoff team and played right with another team that was a couple plays away from it..... But we are going to get blown out(for the first time this year) by UCLA.....hmmmm

There was that whole Purdue blow out.

It al makes sense 74, you have never been there, but you know everything about it, kinda like your opinions of Riley and the team. I get it now. I am sure it will warm and balmy, may need sun glasses after dark. I am sure it will be miserable for you, everything else about Nebraska seems to be.

So the largest comeback in school history was actually a blowout "loss" to tOSU. Because that would be putting lipstick on a pig.

Obviously you didn't actually read what I posted, because if you had, you would realize how silly this reply is.

It really isn't any sillier than calling the Purdue loss a blowout.

How about we just all settle on this - it was a blowout in the third quarter but the Huskers made it a close game at the end.

It's still a loss to a bad team the Huskers had no business losing, too.

There are far more important things to talk about then petty squabbling over what is and isn't a blowout.

Grammatically there's nothing wrong with it depending on what my intent is.

Okay. I'm not a full-blown grammar nazi yet, I'm still just a grammar jugendbund.

Put him on Ignore. I did. Got tired of his whiney posts and constant degredation of the team and coaches. Every single post.

I love these grammar puzzles and this one stumped me. How can it possibly be grammatically correct?

Well, it depends on what I'm trying to say. I'm either trying to say they had no busing "losing to" this team, or, my second sentence is a continuation or extension of my first thought. In that case, my intent would be, on top of everything else, they had no business "losing, too."

My intent was the latter though I can see how someone may think it was a grammar error.

Sorry, that still isn't grammatically correct.
