You don't think "hating Frank & Bo and Loving Callahan" is a bit too strong for pretty much anyone in this spirited conversation?

No.

But you're free to disagree.

What effect did global warming have on the Steve Pederson hire?

It warmed his seat

Laughed way harder than I should have at this.

There's no basis for thinking we'll get blown out in this game.

I think that UCLA will have no problem piling up points against NU's D. I think Rosen picks Banker's D apart. The only way NU keeps it close is if the offense keeps scoring with them, like NU did against Michigan State.

There's no basis for thinking we'll get blown out. Thinking we'll lose, yes.

Right. No basis whatsoever to think the Huskers will get blown out. Just like back in August when there was no basis whatsoever to think the Huskers would have a losing season.

How do you figure? We hadn't played a game yet with the new staff.

We haven't been blown out this year. We could get blown out by UCLA but nothing that has happened this season indicates that will happen.

The Miami game was a blowout for 3 quarters, and then they went brain dead, and let NU back in it.

Purdue was also a blowout, until NU put up some late points in the 4th quarter. It's a fallacy to say that NU wasn't blown out in any games this year.

Until is a pretty important word, eh? The Miami game went to OT. Anyone who says that game was a blow out is a moron.

The Purdue game wasn't a blow out either. The fact that they're a terrible team doesn't make it more of a blow out. That's not to say the loss wasn't awful. And no, I didn't say it was a blow out. Thanks.

Favored by 8.5 and lost by 10?

That is probably a blowout.

Vegas odds have sh#t all to do with whether the results of game were a blow out or not.

 

[ADS]

It really depends on what your definition of a blowout is.

A 10 point loss compared to the sh#t stains such as 2011 Wisconsin, 2012 Wisconsin, 2011 Michigan, 2014 Wisconsin, 2013 Iowa, 2008 Missouri is certainly not a blowout. Even if it was a bad team.

The Miami game WAS a blowout. Penalties and Miami's undisciplined play let us back in the game. To say otherwise is just being delusional. I see that you are accepting that the Purdue game was a blowout.

Yes of course. But some idiots like to call every loss a blowout just so they can piss and moan more and predict future blowouts. As if losing to Purdue isn't bad enough as it is.

No, I'm not. Scroll up. A game that goes into OT is not a blow out, again, unless you are a moron. For part of the game it was a blowout but it's the end result that matters. I don't care how much that part of the game pissed you off, if you say it's a blow out it's just because you're angry and want to add another thing to cry about.
