Uhmm, I don't think that they take the positive cases with them.

I was. "Opting out" when one is still below the VERY stringent BIG 10 thresholds was chickenshit. Do you think Wisconsin would have "opted out" if it were two walk on wide receivers who tested positive instead of #1 and #2 quarterbacks?

Wisconsin has found a viable strategy to not lose a game this year and stay in the Top Ten. A new take on "option" football!

I'm guessing you must be an Oklahoma State fan if you are talking shit about wins and losses.

As per the CBS Sports story this morning: Neither of those figures were enough to trigger an automatic cancellation that comes with a COVID-19 positivity rate of at least 5% and a population positive rate of at least 7.5% in the neighboring area. Short of that, Big Ten protocols state teams can "consider viability of continuing with scheduled competition." https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/wisconsin-nebraska-game-deemed-a-no-contest-as-badgers-cancel-amid-covid-19-outbreak/

Wisconsin did NOT reach the levels of positive tests that would mandate (by conference rules) that they couldn't play. However, they would have been short quarterbacks, so Wisconsin "opted out" of playing Nebraska this week. They didn't forfeit, mind you, they "opted out". I didn't know that was a thing.

Not among football fans who want to see football. Then again, a lot of people look at things through their own filters and lenses, so a football team trying to play football might look way different for them. I would like to see how your particular lens distorts this, but not enough to pursue it with a debate.

Yeah, that's what they said when we started the fight to get a season back this year. Who won that one? Somebody has to be the first one to speak up, even if it upsets the mask breathers. We didn't get out Tennessee-Chattanooga game, but the BIG gets ANOTHER black eye out of the deal. Buckeyes at least sympathetic that Frost is trying to play football this year.

We don't care if being popular means we have to agree not to play football. Ohio State seems to be on our side. I"ll take them and Iowa over the rest of the mask breathers in our conference.

Okay, my impressions after the BIG pulled the rug out from under the Nebraska vs.Tennessee Chattanooga game is that almost all Nebraska fans are pissed at the BIG 10. The Big 10 commissioner arranged a vote to quash this game and it was taken within an hour, yet they fiddle fucked around for a month trying to decide if they could have a season and couldn't even decide if they ever had a vote to cancel it before. That, and we found out that Wisconsin canceled the game, not the BIG 10, because they are still ass chapped they had to play this year and they didn't want to show up without their quarterback.

But I have no doubt...

I guess the Nebraska secondary can play 12 yards off of the Nebraska wide receivers (even first team) and still have plenty of time to close during practice. However, the Buckeyes are more like Ferrari 812s rather than Fiat 500s and the Nebraska DBs never caught up or kept up. NEVER. With that being said, I think the Buckeyes could have put four DBs on Wandale Robinson and use a backup Nose Guard to simultaneously cover the other two or three receivers. How Scott Frost, of all the coaches in the nation, can put up with such shitty ball security from Martinez (and apparently McCaffery as well) is mind boggling. Frost got hit dozens of times a game when he was an option quarterback for Nebraska. If anybody should be able to teach a quarterback how to hold on to a football, it should be him. No comment on the targeting calls because which NCAA team doesn't have a handful of horror stories about them? The only call that still puzzles me was the non-safety on Fields. Forward progress couldn't have been stopped because he never had any, just went back and down. It must be a Big Ten Heisman call. But it wasn't like two points was going to bust this game wide open for the Huskers. It still would have been nice for the defensive line to have that count. Still, it's football. Good run defense for the most part, better offensive line, and I guess it's no longer a crime to throw to the tight ends more than four times a season.

You might want to check out a few of the threads on Huskerboard. They have one going on there about taking Texas and OU into the Big Ten. It doesn't sound like many would be in favor.

Maybe in a Texas-Kansas State game, but probably not Texas-Oklahoma. Then again, who knows what triggers any certain individual? For example, I firmly believed that nobody hated Nebraska football more than Steve Pedersen, former Athletic Director of Nebraska. He had past bad history with Nebraska football players when he was a student at Nebraska, one of them being a cousin of mine. He tried to gut the Tom Osborne legacy, even removing plaques and pictures of that era and purging anybody in the athletic program from those times. So could a Nebraskan not like Texas? Sure. So could a Texan or an Oklahoman or somebody from Kansas.

Nebraska is not coming back to the Big 12. Nebraska was pissed because the Big 10 looked like they were going to screw them out of a football season, but that was handled. As many have already said here, running to a different conference doesn't make your team any better. Frost will have to find a way to beat Iowa and Wisconsin. If he can't do that, he isn't going to be able to beat any of the better Big 12 teams, either.

Since it is a bye week, here is something to pass the time: Texas and Oklahoma ended up playing a fourth quarter that was 39 seconds longer than it should have been. The Big 12 admitted Monday that officials incorrectly added 39 seconds back onto the clock in Oklahoma’s four-overtime win after reviewing the spot of a Sam Ehlinger run. Ehlinger had initially been granted a first down on the play, but officials determined that he hadn’t gotten to the line of scrimmage. https://sports.yahoo.com/big-12-admits-officials-incorrectly-added-39-seconds-to-clock-in-fourth-quarter-of-oklahomas-4-ot-win-over-texas-165855260.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaHVza2VyYm9hcmQuY29tL2luZGV4LnBocD8vdG9waWMvODk4NTgtd291bGQteW91LWxpa2UtdG8tc2VlLXRleGFzLW91LWluLXRoZS1iMWctd2VzdC9wYWdlLzYv&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABkUw8ny--6cOY-25I1RyyUQgB8DJ8TPUD7aOBpJ6C8NtVdSBjAdSfbJmbgZiwwgocclhlEN182Kv8tbMcNTxnJShEWxwekw_zfhq0cyEUAfQXgndhoWV0V64us2iBMaPsYLSNli6iamqdKwq6Hlizav9JibzTo_ofBFcXnRUAOt

Well thanks for being the Curly to our Larry and Moe.😄 You guys can have the rest of the thread,

Why would I care? If it turns your crank, go for it. But I'm just a little skeptical about you having a friend. Is he imaginary or Aggie? (probably both?)

Maybe people with polio were a little sicker and more of people were dying at that hospital during that time. I know its hard to believe that these aren't the End Times.

I guess this village has two idiots, because the thought of catching coronavirus doesn't make me piss my pants. Now, if you boys want scary, I can retell you the stories that my father told me about being in the March of Dimes hospital in Lincoln with polio...

Does anybody else think it looks stupid to have a team with a 0-0 record in the Top 25? Then again, I always thought that a Preseason poll was pointless when every team in the nation is both winless and undefeated.

Does not telling his mom go for all of us?

We have the same problem here in Nebraska. Our backup quarterbacks are ALWAYS way better than our starter. Every year. Just ask any fan after a loss.

Then why did the origingal poster say that Sam is a product of his environment and it makes it harder for him to lead? It sure sounds like , "He is, you know, one of THOSE people from THAT place, and you KNOW how they can be." The effort Ehlinger put into that ballgame was 109%, even if he didn't play a 100% perfect game. If other players can't get behind that, then that's on them, not Sam. I am not a Texas fan, but I am a fan of character. Ehlinger has it, even if he isn't surrounded by it.
