If I hear another comment about us being "3 plays away from being 0-6", I'm going to puke. I read it here, hear it on the radio, on TV, etc.

First, while that may be true...our team made the plays to give us victories.

Secondly and most importantly, we were 3 or 4 plays from being 10-1 last year. How come we don't get any credit for that? You don't hear people talking about that!

True, and I was only three numbers from winning the Power Ball. After all that the team still is 3-3 and I still don't have much cash.

If if's and but's were candy and nuts, oh what a Christmas we'd have!

Change 3 plays (or calls!) and we beat NU.

3 and 3,
That is key.
0 and 6,
Not the mix.
8 and 4
Let them roar.
3 and 8
I can wait.

You're right, it doesn't make sense.

Just as complaining when your rep goes down or boasting when your rep goes up makes zero sense.

It's just a number, man. :wink0st:

It's not just a number...it's my life. I don't know if I will be able to handle slipping below 300...I may off myself. :rofl8yi:

If we were to win out
3-3 would be forgotten about.
Even an OU victory
would chase it toward memory.
If the gloves don't fit
you must acquit.

Oh, I see it is poem time. :sweet:

Why do we all bicker?
There is still hope if only a flicker
We are a camp divided
We should be a camp united
I offer a truce with all my heart
To URBClone, balls, and dart

My friend, CycloneWorld, what a poet thou art.
Please, I pray thee, do not combine balls with dart!

It's no good without a Haiku:

they said go big red
our golden rule was broken
i hate nebraska

And Finally:

O U you are next
ex cons watching will not help
'Clones Destroy sooners

A positive haiku:

I love the cyclones
Through thick or thin, good or bad
It's a cyclone state

A not-so-positive one:

Offense score more points
If not, more loses will come
That would make me sad


One more because it's fun:


Boy am I selfish
I want to go someplace warm
To a top teir bowl

Actually, we heard the "3 or 4 plays from 10-1" all the time last year. Don't you remember all the ******** about overtime losses?

Of course I remember. What I'm saying is that people are talking this year about how we are "almost" 0-6. Using their "3 play logic", we were "almost" 10-1. Neither of of those happened, so freaking drop it.

Actually, this is not far off......on the play at the end of the half, you have to give the NU qb credit for sliding to the left and getting the pass off, but DeAndre was a step from cloberring him when he got rid of the ball to Purify for the td......had DeAndre gotten there, and the officials appropriately scored Austin's catch as a td, the score would have been 14-14 with 8ish left in the 3rd quarter.

I don't like to speculate and look at what-if's much, but as you can see, its not a far cry that these things could have happened!
