Great game...

[Longtimebuff]

I posted here earlier, before the game yesterday and wanted to post a follow-up. I have seen a ton of CU - NU games over the years - I was born in Boulder, and have seen every CU - NU game in some fashion since 1972. Yesterday's game was one of the best games I have seen - regardless of outcome. I know many of you don't think so, and the disparaging remarks about CU, and of your own team as a result of losing to CU are way off target. CU is a good team, and the results going forward will bear that out. Nebraska is also a very good team - even if game 1 in SF's tenure left you questioning that notion.

First, word from CU fans on our pay-board who went to the game is that the NU fans were solid and reasonable, and very classy. Thank you for that. I intend to do my part next year when y'all come to Boulder, to make sure you are treated with respect and decency.

Second, Nebraska is a good football team. I know many of you really don't like Riley, but he is imo fundamentally a good coach, and while he doesn't know how to win in a big-time atmosphere, I think he left the cupboard well stocked for you, particularly on the lines. Case in point: CU has had recruiting classes of 70, 65, 32, and 51 over the last four years, compared to classes ranked 31, 24, 20, and 21 over the same period for Nebraska. Talent-wise NU is loaded, and I think you will see NU make some noise in-conference this year, and I think you will probably be competing for a playoff spot in the next few seasons if I am being honest. Conversely, if a person is reasonable, you have to tip your hat to the CU coaches for what they have been able to pull together. I think Memorial stadium is a much more difficult place to play than just about any venue in the PAC-12, save maybe for UW and Oregon. That CU was able to stay poised in that atmosphere, and to be able to rally for the win is pretty incredible to me. Mike Macintyre and co are outstanding coaches who are getting CU to punch above their weight. With this years class in the 30's I am excited for the future of CU.

Third regarding the game, there is a lot of talk here about how the loss of the Akron game caused you to lose yesterday. Not-so-fast...I point out that after the half, with Martinez you were only able to score 7 points in the entirety of the second half. Playing Akron certainly would have helped with execution and eliminating stupid game 1 mistakes - I don't think you would have spotted CU two TD's in the first half for example, but I also don't think you would have put up three TD's in the first half either had CU had access to the NU-Akron game film. Not saying you would have won or lost, but that the point differential probably would have been similar either way. One other point that influenced the outcome is that CU's punter Alex Kinney broke his collarbone trying to make a tackle earlier in the game. Kinney was also the FG/PAT holder, and his absence in the second half certainly impacted our kicker, who left what, 9 points on the table yesterday?

I will say was pretty disappointed with Coach Frost in his presser yesterday. NU didn't lose the game because of mistakes. CU played better than NU did down the stretch getting us the win, and CU deserves some credit for doing so. What I saw yesterday from Frost was sour grapes. JMHO, but this goes back to Tom Osborne who was not one to give CU any credit for a game (or season) well played. The narrative was always that NU fell down, and not that CU was the better team. CU was the better team yesterday, and that win could well be the catalyst for a 9/10 win season, like we saw when CU beat Oregon in 2016. If you don't agree, well then all I can say is: SCOREBOARD! In any event, see you next year in Boulder, and good luck with your season. (Now patiently waiting for USCsker to talk ish about CU...)

 

[ThereIsNoPlace_rivals38755]

Funny, OP doesn't mention (1) huge penalty by Reed and (2) dropped passes by our receivers which all 3 would've iced the game with SCOREBOARD in our favor. Those 3 things, along with clock management, had NOTHING to do with Colo being a good team. It had EVERYTHING to do with Nebr. falling down.

 

[ThereIsNoPlace_rivals38755]

Secondly, I'd like to ask OP about this view showing his dirty player twisting our QBs leg at the bottom of a pile.

Now that's good football !!!

Right, OP?

Honestly, no one cares who you are "disappointed" with, stop trying to be someones Dad.

 

[huskerfan1414]

Yesterday at half time i decided i was going to make a thread about colorado fans. I still plan on it today, but heres a little teaser for you:
Colorado fans are absolute trash.

 

[GhostRiderDC]

I won’t be going to the game next year because most of your fans are a bunch of classless a-holes.

 

[9and4_rivals188421]

I think your read on Frost is simply trying to stir up butthurt as CU fans used to do about Osborne.

Conversely, I don't think we understand exactly how good a job Mac 2.0 has done at CU. As much as I enjoyed living in Boulder and working at CU, I more enjoyed watching what he did with the "rise" in 2016. It truly was an exciting time. I really DO hope CU wins out this year.

However, when you outgain your opponent by 160 total yards, but double up on the number of penalty yards and commit three TOs to zero, any coach should be able to say that it was his team's mistakes that lost the game. I don't see that he wasn't giving credit to CU, but saying to his team and fans — all of us with damaged psyches from all the losing over the last several years (albeit not as much losing as CU saw from Hawkins to Embree to early McIntyre) — that yes, we are good, and we should win games in which we outgain our opponent by such a decisive margin.

CU and its fans are always looking for ways to claim that NU disrespects Colorado. Get over it, and enjoy the ******* win.

Congrats on the win! If you look at the stats this was not an even game. NU had 329 yards rushing to CU's 44 yards. NU had 7 sacks and 180 more total yards than CU. Both NU's Offensive and Defensive lines dominated in the game. NU's freshman quarterback out played CU's junior quarterback. CU won only because of turn overs...that's football!

CU didn't out play Nebraska, not even close. Nebraska played sloppy ball, and at the end gave CU a gratuitous penalty to take the lead. That's as plain as the nose on your face. SF called it just like it is and that's what rubs you.

Typical ignorant obnoxious cu pretender. You punks have been and are so insecure about yourselves it is pathetically sad. Go back to your own board and pound your scrawny little chest. Did you get a participation trophy from your peewee fb team, which made you a self deluded "expert". Hilarious moron. troll = filthy roach

I do disrespect cu, especially with a made up rivalry, simply because cu thought they needed one to find any purpose and focus in their piss poor fb history, the infamous 5th down, the hypocrite mcartney, and the lawyer neuheisal pretending to be a fb coach. What a farce of a program.

edit: I forgot to mention that I disrespect cu, also, because the entire student section being thrown out because they were such disrespectful, arrogant, punks.

I, also, disrespect them since the 1965 game when NU came back in the last few minutes and won and some ahole cu fan stood up, pulled out his tiny little wad, and urinated on a man and his wife sitting in front of him that had NU garb on.

I have been a cfb fan for many decades and had never even HEARD of that happening any where, else. That, I am sure, is looked at as a source of pride and accomplishment at that craphole.

BTW, I went to high school in Nebraska with a kid who graduated phi beta kappa from cu and went to their law school. Great guy, but he wasn't even a NU regents alternate in my class. So much for that academic arrogance at cu.

 

[Sinomatic]

I thought the OPs post was reasonable.

It was fun. We lost and that sucks, but I thought it was still a fun game.

Credit to Colorado for coming out of Lincoln with a win. They played their game and won. Can't say I didn't wish different. Hope they beat the tar out of the PAC.

GO BIG RED!!!

CU played well. NU still out yarded them by almost 200 yards.

You are over rating Riley. Frankly, NU is still developing players, with their first year coach. CU is well into the McIntyre era and they have their system with their players and their development in place. You barely beat NU with +3 in turnovers, a new coaching staff and had a first game advantage.

Let’s be clear Over the next 10 years NU will win multiple conf titles and play in the BCS—CU will not. The two programs are in different universes.

He blew the beginning of his post by taking a BS shot at the end. If he had something nice to say, say it and be done. Taking a shot at SF and then TO at the end spoiled everything he said prior.

Colorado outplayed Nebraska by not having careless fumbles to start the game...NU put the ball on the ground at least a half dozen times and recovered most of them. The 3rd and 16 play could have easily been a fumble had he held on for a split second more, Martinez threw the ball off of colorado player while going down and it was returned for a td...but his knee hit the ground. Colorado did not fumble once, they had 30-40 less penalty yards, and they were not close to throwing an INT. Who cares if we looked more talented we blew a game we should have blown out and should feel terrible. All of these kid have a ticking clock for their deeds and glory and these kids missed a grand opportunity. Colorado was well coached and played a composed game...NU was well coached but not composed.

I posted here earlier, before the game yesterday and wanted to post a follow-up. I have seen a ton of CU - NU games over the years - I was born in Boulder, and have seen every CU - NU game in some fashion since 1972. Yesterday's game was one of the best games I have seen - regardless of outcome. I know many of you don't think so, and the disparaging remarks about CU, and of your own team as a result of losing to CU are way off target. CU is a good team, and the results going forward will bear that out. Nebraska is also a very good team - even if game 1 in SF's tenure left you questioning that notion.

First, word from CU fans on our pay-board who went to the game is that the NU fans were solid and reasonable, and very classy. Thank you for that. I intend to do my part next year when y'all come to Boulder, to make sure you are treated with respect and decency.

Second, Nebraska is a good football team. I know many of you really don't like Riley, but he is imo fundamentally a good coach, and while he doesn't know how to win in a big-time atmosphere, I think he left the cupboard well stocked for you, particularly on the lines. Case in point: CU has had recruiting classes of 70, 65, 32, and 51 over the last four years, compared to classes ranked 31, 24, 20, and 21 over the same period for Nebraska. Talent-wise NU is loaded, and I think you will see NU make some noise in-conference this year, and I think you will probably be competing for a playoff spot in the next few seasons if I am being honest. Conversely, if a person is reasonable, you have to tip your hat to the CU coaches for what they have been able to pull together. I think Memorial stadium is a much more difficult place to play than just about any venue in the PAC-12, save maybe for UW and Oregon. That CU was able to stay poised in that atmosphere, and to be able to rally for the win is pretty incredible to me. Mike Macintyre and co are outstanding coaches who are getting CU to punch above their weight. With this years class in the 30's I am excited for the future of CU.

Third regarding the game, there is a lot of talk here about how the loss of the Akron game caused you to lose yesterday. Not-so-fast...I point out that after the half, with Martinez you were only able to score 7 points in the entirety of the second half. Playing Akron certainly would have helped with execution and eliminating stupid game 1 mistakes - I don't think you would have spotted CU two TD's in the first half for example, but I also don't think you would have put up three TD's in the first half either had CU had access to the NU-Akron game film. Not saying you would have won or lost, but that the point differential probably would have been similar either way. One other point that influenced the outcome is that CU's punter Alex Kinney broke his collarbone trying to make a tackle earlier in the game. Kinney was also the FG/PAT holder, and his absence in the second half certainly impacted our kicker, who left what, 9 points on the table yesterday?

I will say was pretty disappointed with Coach Frost in his presser yesterday. NU didn't lose the game because of mistakes. CU played better than NU did down the stretch getting us the win, and CU deserves some credit for doing so. What I saw yesterday from Frost was sour grapes. JMHO, but this goes back to Tom Osborne who was not one to give CU any credit for a game (or season) well played. The narrative was always that NU fell down, and not that CU was the better team. CU was the better team yesterday, and that win could well be the catalyst for a 9/10 win season, like we saw when CU beat Oregon in 2016. If you don't agree, well then all I can say is: SCOREBOARD! In any event, see you next year in Boulder, and good luck with your season. (Now patiently waiting for USCsker to talk ish about CU...)

Huskers lost. Classy post by you. I hope you guys kick some *** in the PAC-12. You have some NFL guys throughout the team. You're big wide receiver should be alot of the offense. Your qb Montez is better than I wanted him to be. That kid is tough also. I'll be rooting for you in the PAC-12.


We'll be going in dry next year though. I'm going to try to go go to Folsom field next year with my wife. You have a holding cell.

A reasonable and respectable post for the most part (relative to the typical CU fan anyway), but your assessment is incorrect. NU did shoot itself in the foot with turnovers and penalties in a game it otherwise dominated, especially in the trenches. Also, the shots at SF and TO are ridiculous and say more about you and the CU inferiority complex than them, but that's to be expected.

In fairness though, if my school was 19-49-2 all-time against a self-proclaimed "rival," I'd probably be insecure too. SCOREBOARD!
