Not really, this is: Sorry that you lack the common sense to understand the sarcasm of the previous analogy provided.

I really couldnt agree with you more, except that if billy slash is such a recruiting genius, maybe he wouldnt have irresponsibly promised Freeman that he would be the only qb recruited in this class, we wouldnt be in this situation.

Stop it!!! I just spit my slushee all over my monitor. He's a nice qb "for now," tough as nails, has moxy, guts, balls, etc, but "serious Heisman contender"??? In a league that lost quite a few starting qb's, Im betting that he wont be All Big 12 (first team).

Correct. And we likely never will. That should tell us all we need to know.

If the worst you can come up with is "he wasn't wearing a Nebraska shirt," then that is pretty pathetic. Think about comments like that for exactly one minute, then keep it to yourself. Hmmm, silly me. I guess that I actually want the HC of my favorite program to represent the program when he is at an official function for that program I guess the original statement was "The players will see that Callahan is 100% devoted to them." If this is true, cant he even wear a Husker shirt to a Husker press conference. Bowl streak, walkons, not representing the Huskers in public......100% devoted I can easily complain about the 24 PPG that billy slashs offense has given us since he got here. How about the lack of depth he has given us at OL/Safety in this his 3rd year at the program. How about the D giving up 40 points late in the year to a bad Kansas team. Special teams are specially troubling, especially with the loss of Koch. Can still complain about him forfeiting the Bowl Streak just to display his offense. There are many more... shall I continue?

Have you ever seen Jordan Adams play, or is this just another assumption with no basis, the same way you cut down Joe Ganz? I have never seen the kid play before, so I don't know his abilities. I'd hope you have the inside track on this kid since you can say without hesitation that he doesn't belong. The basis is, as bad as the qb play has been the last 2 years, if he were any good at all, he would have seen the field, not been 5th string. And, if I remember correctly, I believe Rivals said his 40 time was something like 4.8, fine for an OG, not good for a FS. I just wish the coaches knew what they were doing. Moving a guy repeatedly (like Moore and Jackson) has not benefitted the player or the program. And moving a bunch of guys that wouldnt have seen the field at their preferred positions to safety doesnt cure the problem, it makes it worse. Guys who could possibly contribute wont get the reps to make the team better (isnt that the reason why the walkon program was slashed, because these coaches couldnt figure out how to get reps for all those players ). I am all for moving a guy like Green or Wilson, guys who have played DB in the past and who might have a shot a contributing as opposed to moving some guys that were 4th and 5th stringers at other posisitons.

I think that Jackson is probably the best RB recruit from that class. I just have a gut feeling that billy slash will waste his talent, and he may not be here for his entire career.

See: KSU reaction to Callahan statement.

Too early to make too big of a prediction, but you can chalk up 2 losses to USC and UT. Probably a couple of un-inspiring early wins like last year (Maine, Pitt, Wake). Tough time winning road games. More of the same on offense (300 ypg, 24 ppg??), I dont think that special teams will improve, probably worsen some, and the D will have to hold on to keep NU afloat. NU is in a dogfight with ISU, and since NU has to play in Ames, that game is a at the very least a tossup. NU probably wins the North by default, as K St and CU with new coaches, and KU losing alot of players are mediocre. Mizzou might be a suprise team, as losing Smith may benefit the program. I wouldnt bet on having 5(??) bowl teams from the North this year. NU likely will have a similar team to the last 2.

Adams flat out isnt D-1 talent. He doenst have the speed that Stuntz did, he wont sniff the field at either qb or fs. As for Moore and Jackson, it seems as if the multiple position changes hasnt really helped them out much, has it? Probably more of a hindrance.

I dont have a problem with Josh chosing to go to K St, if he doesnt want to be at NU, dont go there. I do have a problem how it was handled. He and his father should have been men about it, and told billy slash personally, that is classless. Maybe if billy slash was a better recruiter and actually had 2 or 3 highly rated qb recruits last year, he wouldnt be so bitter about losing this one. 1) Youre wrong 2) What does it matter if it is a "local story" or a "national story"?? I can see K St or other schools using that quote to beat NU out of recruits. billy slash has made a habit of making classless, idiotic comments, maybe he should take a class in etiquette and manners. Nor does he deserve it. So why risk putting a black eye on the positive publicity??? Again you are wrong, dead wrong. You have the freedom to leave at any time, nobody is forcing you to stay. Actually, if you dont love the USA, you are one of the major problems with this country, and I beg you to leave. While the USA is not perfect and has its problems, it is THE BEST country in the history of this world. Go to France, Canada, or some other socialist honey-hole. Or do what you can to fix the one you enjoy. Its not exact, but its similiar. Im sorry you lack the intellect to understand the analogy.

Superficial. Disagree. When you are the HC, supposed leader of the program, you wear team gear when represent the program publicly, be it a school sweater, a polo shirt, a jacket, etc., or when in suit, wear a team-colored tie or a lapel logo pin. If youre out to dinner with the wife, at the store, or mowing the grass, he can wear all the Raiders or Wisconsin stuff he wants. But when representing the program, he needs to be in gear that represents the program. That goes for ANY coach.

"Just another game, just another season."

Hilarious. I do no more than agree with a couple of other posters, and look what I get. Question: do you support everything President Bush does, or are you not an American?? hmm yes he is our president so for the best interest of the united states I am behind him. Do I agree with everything he does no, you see I just don't go to a online board nit picking everything he does. Also I learned a lesson a long time ago you will be alot happier in life if you don't worry about something you can't control. I was just curious about the "absolute-ist" attitude displayed by quite a few of NU fans. IMO, you dont have to like the coach, or the AD, or the QB, or the....you get the point, to support the team. Youre right, I havent posted for awhile. While I am not "bigger than the board," I have read quite a few of the posts, and I can say that beyond a shadow of a doubt, the board is better with me contributing.
