And if they beat Wisky we get the double bye in BTT (good to save our legs if nothing else)
Great now we can root for big dopey Edey and Purdue's Home Cooking Refs Today
- Thread starter wildcatcoaster
- Start date
Great point.
Pitiful Michigan has little chance at upsetting Nebraska. I hope Edey gets every call as usual and crushes Wisconsin.
Michigan at home. Senior day. Perhaps playing for their coach’s job. Nebraska is not so great on the road. Go Blue!!
hey, you never know. Michigan has lost 7 in a row and 12 of their last 13. Including a 20 point loss at Nebraska who has everything to play for.
I’d be surprised if the players are riding and dying with Howard at this point.
Wisconsin loss and Nebraska win would set up a potential Quarterfinal game against Wisconsin which is a good scenario for NU.
Nebraska has won one conference game on the road this season. I don't why people think they're such a strong favorite to win this game.
I think I would rather get the 4 seed with a path of Wisconsin/Purdue vs the 3 seed with a path of Iowa/Illinois. Granted, I would also enjoy Nebraska losing to Michigan because the fighting Hoibergs seem to think their coach deserves coach of the year, and losing at the worst team in the conference to blow the 3 seed should chip away at that thought.
So, if Purdue holds on, Iowa is the fifth seed if Indiana and Iowa win today. Otherwise, it'll be Wisconsin. Granted either team would have to win on Thursday before playing NU on Friday, but it would be nice to get revenge on one of them Friday.
Also: I have jury duty this week. I hope the case is done by the time NU plans. It's a lot easier to watch an afternoon game while "working" than while sitting in a jury.

I would love love love a second crack at Wisconsin on a neutral floor
Me too. They seem like an "easier" opponent than Iowa right now. Of course, I'm not convinced they'll beat the 12/13 winner right now (Penn St./Rutgers/Maryland at this point).
Easier and also I just think NU would whip them now. I’m a little bitter we didn’t get a crack at them at home because I thought we’d beat em even before they slid, and I want some revenge outside their building.
Preston is better than Big Matt?Say something horrible and prejudicial and you won't be chosen for a jury!
Winning % against #1 teams (UN-l 1-0, NU 1-1)
That’s a stupid way of doing it, especially with the unbalanced schedule. Oh well…
It's fine as *a* tiebreaker, but it's like the second tiebreaker here! I don't know what I'd pick other than "head-to-head" - maybe a slightly larger pool like record against top four. Whatever. I bet Nebraska loses on Friday to whoever they get.
Or just tell them that you can tell if someone is guilty or not by looking at them. Be convincingSay something horrible and prejudicial and you won't be chosen for a jury!
What are some gems you heard from jurors hoping to avoid duty over the years?Say something horrible and prejudicial and you won't be chosen for a jury!
I highly recommend that you focus on your civic duty and not some meaningless game.
We’re in regardless of if we win or lose on Friday.
I'm actually looking forward to it - don't want to get out of it at all...unless it means the *meaningful* games the following week are in jeopardy. And mostly I just like to watch Boo and the Cats every time they play and don't want to miss a single minute.

Good man.
Hopefully Boo plays just long enough to keep his legs fresh for the round of 64.
I’m curious to see what Clayton can do running the point with the training wheels off. Sink or swim time!
4th seed plays early afternoon, game two of the day, the late game of the morning session, around 1;30 or so
It is a dumb tiebreaker.
That said, winning percentage against top 4 teams is a tie for NU (3-3) and UNL (2-2).
So the game is Friday afternoon and not evening. I wonder if I read "Game 8" and thought "8:00" before. Oh well.
Most related to being unable to be fair and reasonable for various nonsensical reasons. I was called for jury duty myself once and had no desire to serve because my wife and I had a short vacation planned. I knew both lawyers in the case and as we headed to the courtroom with the rest of the panel I said to them if I'm chosen I'm going to screw one of you but I haven't decided which one yet. They laughed and I wasn't chosen.
As a jury trial attorney, I would have given body part to get on a jury and into that room. We were once left unattended in the courtroom while the jury deliberated loudly…until the bailiff returned, heard the commotion and saw our utter silence and kicked us out. I also dated one of my jurors but she provided no useful insight…she may have served other important purposes….Most related to being unable to be fair and reasonable for various nonsensical reasons.

It would be pretty sweet if Rutgers or Maryland could upset Wisconsin and then we'd face a team playing for the third day in a row.
It will have to be Maryland. Rutgers is playing like they just want the season to end .
