USC and Nebraska this weekend, and the entire state is seriously getting antsy...or at least it feels that way. I haven't seen people this amped up about a game since Oklahoma came to Lincoln back in 2001 when they were #2 and we were #3...actually the Notre Dame game that year might have had an even bigger buildup more in line with this week. But it was definitely that season since people have been going this nuts.
College Gameday is going to be out in LA, and I guarantee you that the crowd will be more than 50% Nebraska fans...I just don't see USC's bandwagon getting pulled out of the barn at 7am...
I think we have a shot at winning, but am actually (trying to be realistic) expecting a loss. Should be much closer than the 18.5 points the line opened at today. We're going to have to play perfect though, and get either a defensive or special teams TD to really have a shot.
Amycat, where you at?

Actually the USC crowd is pretty good about showing up for Game Day. Not ME mind you, but the students.
I'll be at the game. I don't think its a slam dunk win for us, but I do expect us to win. I also expect to see a decent game. I just hope I don't, lol, I am more comfortable when SC is winning by 40. lol
NE will need to play perfect, as USC is good a capitalizing on mistakes. Sold old Coliseum crowd of 92K should be nice and loud and a sea of cardinal and gold.

Well yeah with my cat playing QB for Iowa that day and throwing a million interceptions, I'm horribly upset that they didn't win 900-0.
ETA: I see your point, artist formerly known as ktsnake, but I just hate the Big 12 and have never met ANYBODY in this state who went to Oklahoma and there are TONS of Big 10 peeps. That said, I should write the network -- although nothing ever came of my loving emails to ESPN to suggest that they show more White Sox, less Red Sox/Yankees.

What we should do is take Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, combine them with Michigan, Ohio State and Iowa (maybe PSU), then add Miami, FSU, Va Tech, Ga Tech and Clemson and BOOM... you'll have a conference that competes with the SEC.

Our son graduated from Oklahoma.
Valkyrie, I love you, but I think you're being a little myopic about this one. Go to any of the major sports bars on a football Saturday and you'll find tons of O.U., Nebraska and other Big 12 fans watching their out of market games.
The Big 10 is certainly well represented, too, but the proximity to the Big 12 markets is what makes the difference -- especially on the TV schedules.
If you want to see more Big 10 games, you're probably going to have to go back to the Windy City -- or East.

I love you too, DA, and I know you're right. But I'm so mad when I can't see my beloved Hawks. I've heard that there's an Iowa bar in town -- I'll have to check it out sometime.

They show it because Oklahoma, a major team from the Big 12 was playing Washington - a team who is terrible, but has a decent following, and will pull in ratings.
You should call the networks, I'm sure they will see your side of things. Maybe Iowa who is apparently a good team can beat Iowa State who is apparently not a good team and you might be able to have a point

Hey Betaboy,
Whats up with your team and all your fans thinking you guys are back after beating La Tech and some team I've never heard of in my life? Now one of your players is predicting a victory? Nebraska. Jesus, the only good thing that ever came out of Nebraska was that hot tutor chick on Tommy Lee's show.
Too bad I'm gonna miss the game tho

First off, her name is Natalie, I've known her since freshman year, and she's in my med school class. I actually sat next to her today in Pharmacology...I promise you Bobby, she's out of your league.
As for football, It's not so much that we're back b/c we won our first two games, but how we won them. After two years of relying far more on luck and superior athleticism to squeak out wins (like 3 defensive TD's against Wake Forest, or two blocked FG's against Pitt both last season), we're blowing teams out again, bringing in the scrubs and still dominating...not quite like the Osborne days when the 6th teamers were in there still scoring on three play drives but as good as it's been since 2001. This new offense is finally coming of age and the order in the Big XII North is restored...that's how we're finally relevant again.
I honestly don't think we're going to win, but some people are pollyannas and can't look at things objectively. The CB...he's just confident, that's all. I honestly don't know why he said those things. As this great CFB blog http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/?p=2546 points out, there are three rules during USC week...love the 'stache on Coach Callahan too.
