  1. Been awhile since I have been on the board. I am working at Camp Taji, Iraq as a contractor. One of the distinct pleasures that I have over here is supporting a National Guard unit from Lincoln; the 867th Quartermasters. Thanks to Slingbox, I will be getting to watch the game against KSU tonight with the Husker Nation in Iraq. These guys bust their butts every day, and I am honored to get an invite to watch the game with them. Imagine my surprise coming to my work location in Iraq and seeing the Big Red N flying high above the units main office. I really want to try and do something special for these guys and gals while I am here, and if anyone can think of anything that might work, please let me know how you can help. Go Big Red -HuskerByNature
  2. Athlete's would have no reason to go to class. There would be resentment between players on the team....remember they are still young men. Which sport gets to hand out money? Just football and basketball...or all sports. My opinion, it is a horrible idea. If players truly love the sport, then they can play for free for 4 years...then go make the big bucks. It would only serve to drive up ticket prices and merchandise prices.
  3. Just like May said Michigan would hang 40 on us......we all know how that went.
  4. I love the title game, but I would also love to play more teams in the south each year. There are so many ways that you could build a schedule in the Big 12 with the North and South, or just scrap that and have no divisions. Would I scrap the Title game if it meant we would get a playoff....yes, I think that is where we should be trying to get to.
  5. Looks like USC has lost their #1 RB to torn ligaments in his knee. Dennis out for season. This game is starting to look a lot easier. Not that I want it that way, but it would still be great to knock off USC to get the season raolling.
  6. Allbuffs.com should have some "great" things to say about this....since anyone serving under Barnett was obviously a complete idiot ...I hate that board. As far as FormerFan goes, he is generally not negative. His comments are just underhanded. He reminds me of Ray's mother on Everybody Loves Raymond. Take all his comments with a grain of salt, and move along. I would however like to think that he is a fan, albeit a cynical (sp?) one.
  7. I think that Koch should have been the Punter. Averaging 51 yds punting is good, but doing it against Breaston was even more curcial. GBR
  8. I was there as well, and had an amazing time. What a great way to end the season. I sat in front of some very nice Michigan fans. We talked about Lloyd Carr, and the injuries they had this year. We shook hands after the game. There were some Michigan fans who were eating KFC (Kentucky Fried Crow) after the game. One was walking up and down the stairs after Michigans first score saying, "That may be the last time y'all score." I turned and saw him at the end of the game; he wasn't saying a word. Most of the Michigan fans were very classy. As a whole, Michigan fans need to support their team better...win or lose. Still, this was my first bowl game (not my last), and it was awesome.
  9. I think that Mizzou has the toughest game of the remaining Big 12 games outside of Texas. Go Mizzou Go Cyclones Go Red Raiders ......Go Longhorns I love the Big 12; constantly underrated....constantly proving the media wrong. PAC10 - Media darling - mostly overrated Big 10 - even if the whole conference went 6-6, that would just mean that there is "parity" - highly overrated
  10. First, let me say that being at the game was the most fun I have had as a Husker fan. The Michigan fans that were there, were respectful; as were we. My defensive player of the game was Bowman. Not only did he keep focused at the end of the game, but he made some excellent plays. On offense, I have to give it up to Ross...there were series that we went 3 and out, because we threw the ball. He should have had over 200 yards. Now about the sportsmanship. On my way home from San Antonio, I was listening to ESPN Radio (Dan Patrick show). Dana Jacobson from Cold Pizza was hosting, and she is a Michigan fan. She was whining about why wasn't a flag thrown...and on and on. Then some one else cam on with her, and they started talking about sportsmanship. Basically what they said was that Callahan should have went to the Officials at the end and said "We had guys on the field....penalize us." I get what they are trying to say, but the Carr should have to do the same thing...cause they had personnel on the field as well. Callahan is not a referee, it isn't his job to call penalties. I just really hate that ESPN has such problem with anything good ever happening for Nebraska. The only person I like that works for ESPN is Kirk Herbstreit.
  11. He is not on the roster. He received a ton of votes from fans, but must not have gotten enough from players and coaches. He should make it next year though.
  12. I'll be there the day of. I am bringing an Aggie fan with me......but I will force him to wear red.
