Combine no running game with no defense, and the Coogs' uncanny ability to Coog it against inferior teams...well, it adds up to a crap record.
Todd
Run the ball, stop the run, win the game. Football 101. Regardless of what fancy pants passing schemes come and go, if you can't do those two things well, you will consistently have sub-par seasons. IMO - Football is still football and that's the winning formula for championships. My second observation is Mora is in a great situation at UCLA. Not only is their campus in a great location but it's also one of the best public educations in the country. Throw in the fact that half their students are the kids of Hollywood stars, writers and producers it's amazing they lose any recruiting battles.
+1 billion. UCLA is sitting pretty now that Pedey is long gone from the LA scene. They have a legit shot at becoming the new power broker in the Pac. U of O and Stanford should be on notice.

Hank,
I've known a few guys who played football for Stanford. They were both really nice guys who were dumb as bricks hence the open up their books comment. Actually need good grades to get in to UW, UCLA and others but all you need to get in to Stanford to play football is well-the ability to play football and the blessing of the admissions staff. And then they throw around all this elitist bullsh!t like they are the most special football program on the planet. Well bullsh!t until I can see the grades of their incoming class just like we can see for all public schools!
And Shaw is just a whiney [Bleeeeep!] who thinks he's the [Bleeeeep!] because he's the head coach of the most special program in all the world. Fuckhim!!
Name me one Stanford grad who didn't play sports who isn't an elitist [Bleeeeep!]! Washington has eight grads who have been giving the Medal of Honor. Stanford has 800 grads who sent them to war and another 800 running academia creating good little liberals to protest the war. They're getting rich coming and going while they [Bleeeeep!] up everything for everyone else!!!
Fuckem!!
I may be the most surprised person of all that over the last decade I've come to hate Stanford more than Oregon.
And BTW last year when I typed virtually the same thing you agreed with me. I guess your getting the douschbag cool aide in your drinking water now too!!

I'm pretty happy with where my Huskers rank on that list. But as Stonefish points out, I'm starting to get impatient with the lack of major bowl appearances in the past 10 years. Pretty sure it has everything to do with moving away from the above winning formula for a few years. I want my will breaking Power I / True Option back. Sigh...I know I'm living in the past....but DAMN those results spoke for themselves didn't they? The best of all time... Watch both lines closely. The Hawks get it and look what happened. Your first Lombardy.

Moving to the Big Ten was the best move Nebraska could do academically wise. Their endowments tripled when they switched.

It's not like that University didn't have enough money already, but now its just pouring in hand over fist. The profit sharing from just the B1G network revenues is obscene, let alone the endowments. The B1G knew what they were doing when they asked Nebraska to join. Besides tripling the number of the conference's modern national championships.

Burnt Orange killed the Big 12. Ain't that the truth! My lord they are arrogant. Worst of the worst. But we're happy in the B1G now. I just miss OU / NU

Arrogant? Worst of the worst? Sounds like I went to the right school after all! The vitriol for all things Texas, especially from former Big XII also-rans, is downright amusing. We're gonna miss the Faggies and the Cornholers. Those were sure wins on the schedule, every time. No idea what this year's Longhorns will do, but I think Charlie Strong was just what the program needed. Watching from afar, it looks like he's doing away with the sense of entitlement and bringing in some good, old-fashioned work ethic. Will that translate to instant success? Probably not, but we'll see. My predictions: 1. Record: 8-4. 2. Bowl Game: Alamo. Best win: Baylor. The Bears will come in having played nobody and thinking they're great, and the Horns will be hardened by the recent loss to UCLA and a tough win over BYU. Worst loss: at Kansas State. They always suck in Manhattan.

FF02, I agree with you regarding Strong. Good coach who should bring them success, but only if your fellow alumni give him time to build his program. SF

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Colorado looks good again this year. Bwahahaha. Little brother ran all over the Buff D. Gotta love it when the Rammies win the RMSD and shut the Peoples Republic of Boulder yappers right up. My Spartans looked tough last night too. Lots of big games today. GBR! And so it begins....

Wow - UCLA leads 21 - 3 near half with 3 defensive TD's in the 2nd. Offense only has 12 yards and Hundley is mostly a no show. ???

UCLA in a nail biter. Navy starting to fade. 20 mins until the 2014 edition Huskers! Tuna & salmon in the smoker. Drink in one hand; TV remote in the other. I love fall Saturdays. GBR!

fUCLA does not look sharp.
They're lucky to get out of there with a win.

Nice to see the Bammers having trouble with WV. Mebbe it's the Curse of the Kiffen manifesting ?

784 total yards of offense for the BIG RED with no turnovers. I'll take it.
Ameer Abdullah is a straight pimp and the best RB in the nation by far. Cough...Heisman...Cough....
