But Corn was a pleasant surprise. Seeing them pound UCLA for over 400 yards on the ground - after never getting so much as 200 in a game this season - exposed the soft underbelly of the PAC 12, outside of Stanford Football.

It's almost best that we didn't get just one upset and have to deal with the CFP committee putting Stanford's sorry ass in above OSU.
I could be in prison right now.

And it took Michigan Man for Stanford to learn anything.
I still crack up at "Stanford Football" ... as if it was some novelty, instead of what the Big Ten has been doing for decades.

Eye to the future, honoring the past
Hey all! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
First, I know a few were wondering about my absence during Saturday's Foster Farms Bruin Roast. Between the wife (who is preggers with hopefully the next Heisman Trophy winning running back at Nebraska), and the job, I've been extremely short on time.
As far as the job - our department was sold to another company. Anybody that works in IT knows what happens with server migrations and all sorts of crap like that. I liken my feelings right now to that scene in Ben Hur.....
....yep, that about sums it up. But I digress...to the game....
1. I didn't know whether or not to celebrate or throw my hands up in disgust at what I saw Saturday. All year long, Husker fans have been pining for the run. "Don't throw the ball," we said. "Don't let Armstrong wing it," we've said.
Then Langsdorf comes out in this game....and does EXACTLY what we've been saying....
ALL.
SEASON.
LONG.
Am I happy that they won? You bet. Am I happy they ran for over 300 yards? You bet your ass I am. But am I happy it took them to lose SEVEN FREAKING GAMES to find that out? Da FUQ?!? Armstrong played probably his best 'manage the football' game last night. And I agree - you got facemasked, but hold on to the freaking ball. He's looser with the ball than the prostitutes at the ranch where they found Lamar Odom....
2. I must say, as much wailing and gnashing of teeth we've all had about Mark Banker and his 'D', they have grown this year. No longer are they the Keystone Kops of tackling any longer. They are becoming a more sure tackling group of guys. Yeah, they get burned on deep balls, but I've seen growth this season in the back end of the D. The line has been a disappointment all year long (of course till Saturday), and the linebackers can't stay healthy at all.
3. Targeting. Yet another da fuq. They're treating poor Geary like Bo Pelini about now. Whenever he comes up to play the run, the cameras immediately pan in on him and he gets flagged. The Iowa game, yes. This one, nope. They need to change that rule to an unsportsmanlike call, where if you get another one you get ejected on the 2nd one, cause refs don't know how to call it. That was a good football play last night, and he got dinged for it, again.
4. When they didn't get those few first downs in the 4th, and UCLA scored to get within 8 - the wife goes, "Oh boy, here we go again..." To our surprise, they found a way to put the game away.
5. The commercials in that game, hilarious. The chicken choir, omg....
6. Twice now, Mike Riley, in all his gooberness, has done what Bo Pelini couldn't do. He accomplished the first when he knocked off Michigan State this year. The next? He beat Jim Mora and UCLA. Pelini had two shots and couldn't get it done. Riley put on his Mr. Rogers sweater, shoes, said, "Hello Neighbor," and proceeded to pounding Mora's ass for 3 1/2 quarters.
Now it's off to winter. As I type this, we are in a winter storm warning. Snowzilla is coming, and he is hungry.

Actually looking forward to today's games. Grew up near Pitt and love watching Navy's option, and I'm curious to see if another 5-7 B1G team can win a bowl. MAC schools love their opportunities against our conference and Central scUM will likely have the home crowd advantage in Detroit.

*sigh*
I vaguely remember winters. We used to have a bit of them in Ohio, too. That's before the whole damn state packed up and moved south.
Do me a favor: Take a minute to go outside and stand in the flakes and appreciate their crystal perfection. And, on my behalf, tell that inconstant bitch of a jet stream what it can do with itself.
soooo jealous
