  I don't have a question, just a comment. I'm a diehard Husker, but I'm pretty disappointed for Baylor losing Robert Griffin. I was really looking forward to seeing NU go against Baylor this year, and long-term, Baylor getting that program back on track. I'm sure they must be devastated. -- Andy Morrison, San Diego
  
  This is why Nebraska fans are widely regarded as the classiest in the country.

Stu, Stu, Stu...you can annoy us with the "classiest in the country" thing (as has been explained a thousand times, it's easy to be classy about an opponent you've defeated 116 straight times...they're not quite as classy when they're getting their butts beat), that's fine.  But do NOT steal our "mourning Hot Tub's loss" thunder.  Do NOT.  He is Rock M Nation's, not Nebraska's.  Hmpf.

• The Missourian: Pinkel admits Missouri's running game needs improvement

  The latest stall in the ground game came in Missouri's 31-21 victory over Nevada on Friday night. The box score shows that the Tigers' running backs had 3.7 yards per carry, a figure that, while underwhelming, doesn't induce panic. Take out Washington's 42-yard run late in the game and that number shrinks to exactly 2 yards per rush.

  Missouri's first victory against Illinois provided a similar performance. Overall, the top three Tigers backs ran 26 times for 80 yards at 3.07 yards per carry. Without a 32-yard carry by Washington? Less than 2.
