  1. This! I may be in a not so great mood after Nebraska games these days, but at least we are in them until the end. And against some of the highest ranked teams in the country at that! I’m not sitting there watching a team give up because they’re being blown out. I see a team that is ready to turn the corner, and I can hold on.
  2. Yeah, I’ll probably watch the replay after it’s over so I can limit the amount of time I spend watching the pain.
  3. Can’t we just get BEYOND thunder dome?
  4. This. And I want that identity to include a dual threat QB. To me this is more important than wins to a certain extent. I just don’t enjoy the current offense, successful or not it’s no fun to watch.
  5. I live 5 minutes from In-N-Out, used to like it quite a bit. My kids LOVE it, and I've had it way too much. I'd kill for a Swiss cheese and mushroom Runza! But let's get real, as good as In-N-Out may be, it's still a burger and you can get those anywhere. Not so with a Runza.
  6. I grew up in Nebraska. My dad and my gradpas were big fans, and I was too when I was really little. As I grew up I wasn’t into sports, and I didn’t pay attention. I remember in January of ’94, it must’ve been, I was working as a telemarketer around the time of the NC game and someone on the phone asked me where I was. I said, “Nebraska” and the reply was “oh man, you guys got ripped off!” The next year I was living abroad as an exchange student. I had a teacher who was from Nebraska, but hadn’t been home in like 20 years. I was kept informed about what was going on with Tommie and Brook until I started following the team myself as much as I could. It was exciting, we were winning every week and it was a connection to home. When we finally played for the NC that year it was broadcast live on armed forces radio and I listened intently to a game for the first time. I was so hooked after we won that it wasn’t even funny. In the middle of the night I happened to turn on the TV and found the game being broadcast, and I watched what was left of it, getting to see the plays for the first time. I haven’t missed a game since.
  7. I'm not seeing the assertion that NU should know its place in the article that was linked. Seems fairly positive to me.
  8. +1. He is clearly a man who is willing to contemplate possible mistakes and consider other points of view. A compassionate man who won't dodge tough questions to keep up a reputation. I'm impressed with him, sad for the woman involved regardless what happened.
  9. I think you see this within our own fan base. Older fans were Bo-leavers. Younger fans who weren't around for the glory days were the Bo-lievers. I don't find this to be true. I remember the 90s well, as I was about 18 when we were winning those championships. From conversations I've had, older fans (like my dad's generation) are concerned about stability in the coaching staff and what might happen if we fire another coach. Personally I wanted Bo to be the guy to make it work. I wanted to give him every chance. I know some were done last year (or even earlier), but I wanted to give him 1 more year to make it work at the end of last year. After Wisconsin this year I was ready to move on. He got the 1 year that I thought he should and couldn't do it. I'm satisfied that he was given every opportunity. I don't think that puts me in either the lievers or leavers category.
  10. That's a great point! The cleaning lady has probably been around since the Callahan era. We need to fire her and have a national search for a new cleaning lady. Maybe one from a pro team. Who are the top candidates?
  11. I setup ESPN3 remote access last year, and from my memory you have to confirm it from your home computer before you can log on remotely. I had to call someone at home to log on and set it up.
  12. Why not treat the coaching positions just like every position on the field? We need some depth at offensive coordinator, then we can have competition for the spot, and whoever is coaching best gets to start that game Okay, it's a little ridiculous, but Bo is always talking about competition and making players work for their positions, but when it comes to coaches it's all about loyalty.
