I hope this is a vBookie this week.

Nebraska's season is over. No bowls - nothing to play for.

Colorado must win this game to clinch the Big12 north, plus they are playing at home, where they have shown to be a tougher animal than on the road.

Opened at Colorado -15, and is now Colorado -14.5.

Take Colorado, and thank me later. :king

Not so fast my friend...NU has outside shot at the Alamo Bowl but several things have to happen (OU lose to OSU, ISU beat KU, NU beat CU). In that scenario, ISU plays tu for the Big XII on Dec 3rd. Stevie Hicks is healthy for ISU and one of the premier backs in the Conference if not the nation (when healthy).

At a minimum we go bowling in Houston or Orlando. Not great games, but our goal this yr was to just get to a bowl and work the recruiting.

^What's the date and game time for Colorado vs. Nebraska? I'm rooting for Nebraska due to not wanting to play Colorado again in the Big XII championship game.

Friday, 25th, right after the tu vs aTm game.

Zac Taylor, our Starting QB got his a$$ pounded like a Thai ladyboy vs K.State a few weeks ago, but watch for our guy we burned the redshirt on, Harrison Beck, if Zac gets in trouble. I do not expect us the win, but again, I did not expect CU to pound us in 2001 like they did when we were #1 in all polls either.

Rivalries, ya never know...

Nebraska has been doing a noise dive lately.

But Nebraska basically owns Colorado. And Color fans know this. I think the Big offRed will win.

Neb has had the luxary of playing all but 3 games at home. Those 3 road games were:

Baylor, W 23-14
Mizzou, L 24-41
Kansas, L 15-40

Contrast that with Colorado's perfect record at home, including the following wins:

Kansas, W 44-13
Mizzou, W 41-12

Plus, you better believe the Buffs are ticked with their poor showing vs. ISU, and will be looking for (red) blood.

Nice try with the score issues...does not translate. Every game is different, every Saturday (in this case Friday) is different. Schemes are different.

I would not be surprised if we win, I just do not expect it. They are in Boulder, but we do owe them for 2001 and last year.

2001 was ugly. This one could be too if Nebraska doesn't take care of the ball....but I think their defense will keep it close.

Horry For 3!
