Tom Osborne retired at 60

Colorado and Baylor were conference opponents and Nebraska played them both on the road.

Michigan played both of them in Ann Arbor.
There are those excuses. I forgot, road games account for a 3 touchdown differential. Keep the excuses coming. I'm on the edge of my seat to hear the Matt Rhule excuses in a year or two.

There is also a considerable altitude difference @ Colorado. Again, Michigan got them in Ann Arbor.

That being said Nebraska led Colorado 27 - 10 (i.e. 3 scores) deep into the 4th quarter. Nebraska was driving but fumbled at the Colorado 23 yd line with 4:59 remaining.

Colorado scored a TD with 3:16 remaining.
Colorado recovered their onside kick.
Colorado scored another TD with 2:37 remaining.

That game wasn't near as close as the scoreboard shows.
 
Regarding Baylor...

Nebraska played @ Baylor.
Michigan got Baylor in Ann Arbor

Michigan beat Baylor 38-3.
Michigan led Baylor just 21-3 at Halftime.
Michigan scored 7 pts in the 3rd Q and 10 pts in the 4th Q.
Michigan actually scored a TD with 2:57 remaining, but it was Nebraska "Running up the scores".

Nebraska beat Baylor 49-21.
Nebraska led Baylor 42-7 at Halftime and 49-7 with just 8 minutes to play in the 4th Q where Baylor scored 14 points against Nebraska's scrubs in garbage time.

"BuT bAyLoR" :boink:

Ahhh yes -- you let them score those touchdowns. Just so we have it straight. It was the altitude, it was the road game, it was a conference opponent, am I missing any excuses?

And yeah -- it definitely wasn't as close as the scoreboard showed, I mean, other than Nebraska having 20 1st downs and Colorado having 20 1st downs. Or Nebraska having 440 yards of offense and Colorado having 455 yards of offense (if you were wondering, that is 230 yards more given up than Michigan). Or Colorado having the ball driving late in the 4th quarter with a chance to win the game. But yeah -- outside of 1st downs, total offense and the scoreboard -- the game wasn't even close.

Must have been the scrubs that you were facing against Colorado too. To put it in perspective -- Nebraska gave up close to 100 more yards to just Colorado, than Michigan gave up to Colorado and Baylor combined.

But, but, but..........cue the long list of excuses.

This is what's a fact.

ONLY Michigan fans think they deserved the natty.
That says it all.
 
Nice try, but Colorado dropped out of the polls in Week 8 and finished (5-6) unranked.

Neither Penn St (16th) or Ohio St (12th) finished in the Top 10.

Iowa dropped out of the polls in Week 13 and finished (7-5) unranked.
Michigan State dropped out of the polls in Week 11 and finished (7-5) unranked.
Wisconsin dropped out of the polls after Week 1, got back in in Week 8 at 24th, dropped back out in Week 9, got back in in Week 12 at 24th, dropped back out in Week 14, and finished (8-5) unranked.

Missouri was actually ranked in the final AP poll.
We played them when they were ranked ... so are you implying that rankings mean nothing? If rankings in the past mean nothing, then let's decide the 1997 Championship on September 30, 2023.
 
Has anyone mentioned Tom Brady wasn’t good enough to start?
 
This is what's a fact.

ONLY Michigan fans think they deserved the natty.

Actually -- it was a split title so that can't be true and it was only split because Nebraska begged to the media and then their coach announced his retirement. So it was a well deserved going away present.

Now lets get back to what the excuse will be after Rhule does no better than lead Nebraska to 6,7,8,9 win seasons? Will Nebraska fans finally grasp the reality that has been staring them in the face for so long or will there be a new list of excuses and players to blame?

WOW!!!! I can see defending your team (although no one is attacking it), but that is a lot of excuses for a last century team?

Did you know that Michigan only got one home game in 1883 ... what kinda shit is that?

Bob Griese had the microphone, you dolt.

Hilarious to see that Matt Rhule is your new Nebraska trigger.

Why are those dudes in their underwear. Were they having tickle fights?
 
It should state -- Michigan had 0 games decided by a kicked pass to a receiver on the final play of regulation to force OT for the chance to beat a 5 loss Missouri team. Michigan also didn't need to stop a late 4th quarter drive in their territory against 6 loss Colorado to sneak out with a 27-24 win.
Oh damn
 
Nebraska blew out the SEC Champion with a future HOFer QB.

Michigan beat the weak Pac10 Champ.

That should sum it up... Nebraska > Michigan

We all know that BIG teams can't beat top level SEC teams.
