  1. Against MSU, we had a couple of snaps (mostly passing situations) that we had Stache, Josh, Carter and EMart on the line. Highly effective, I thought. It will be interesting to see what we do against NWU. Persa isn't near as top end fast as he was before his injury last year, but can still move in the pocket pretty good. Colter, on the other hand, is a really good athlete that runs the zone read very well. As always, you need great disipline to play defense, but it's even more paramount this week. Don't over look the Cat's
  2. Have a buddy from GICC that swears Peterson was a baby and cried or something during one game. My little brother played bball agianst Peterson his senior year. That kid was on a different level athlete-wise for C-1
  3. Played against Chad Buller from Henderson (now Heartland Community) Also went against the youngest Kelsay (Chris I think) in Bball. I was on JV, he obviously on Varsity. They were just walking into the gym as we were warming up. Chris, in loafers, his winter coat and gym bag over his shoulder, took a two hand reverse alley oop dunk from one of their JV kids. My jaw hit the floor. One of my classmates brother played against Frost his senior year of HS. TO and Turner Gill were in town to recruit. My buddies brother had his fifteen minutes when he ran Scott out of bounds. After the game, he said it was like trying to tackle the wall...
  4. Actually, that's EXACTLY how Cam Newton got out of big trouble with the NCAA. He claimed he didn't know anything about his dad's dealings. Newton's case was over a substantial amount of money, Aaron's about a hat to get stitched. Non issue
  5. My least favorite Bo-ism. DO NOT LIKE. And in reality there isn't much of a point to it. I know everyone says he's bad with the media. They say it's his right as the coach. They say the media are compariable to that nasty stuff that builds up between your toes. But he honestly goes out of his way to be "BO" with the media. Talk about honesty, loyalty, trustworthy and all those other boy scout characteristics that Bo preaches...he doesn't display any of them when it comes to the media, and ultimately to the fans, since that's how we get our feed during the week. Just once this year I would have liked him to say "Martinez certainly isn't 100% and it's impacting our offensive strategy and production, but Lee isn't ready to go either so Green is certainly seeing so more snaps and will be ready at gametime if Martinez can't go." Instead he says "Martinez is improving and it will be a gametime decision". Has anybody ever listened to the questions Bo gets asked sometimes? Reporter: "Coach, last year your offensive line was very inconsistent, not able to sustain blocks and was beat in pass protection on critical downs. Your first year quarterback got hurt midway through the season and looked less than 100% at any point the rest of the year. Your wide recievers had crucial mistakes in the biggest games of the season. Do you like the direction of the offense?" Bo: "We just gotta get it fixed." And no, I'm not exagerating. listen to a press conference sometime, and try to hear the actual questions. When Bo gets a clear, consise question without a lot of BS around it, you get a straight answer. Otherwise, "Bo-isms" come out, and people think he's too rough with the media.
  6. vs Tenn-Chattanooga vs Fresno St vs Washington @ Wyoming @ Wisconsin Ohio State off week @ Minnesota Mich St Northwestern @ Penn St @ Michigan Iowa As has been mentioned, this a just a brutal schedule. My kool aid hangover says losses to Wisc and tOSU are about it, and the others should be wins... My heart says NO WAY the Huskers lose any game, and the Buckeye match up gives us a preview of the first Big 10 Champ!!! My gut says, with the staff and roster as is... 6-6 is a very real (and terrifying) possiblity. All that said, this is a crucial offseason for the team. they need to come back together, no matter the means that need to be taken. If that means staff and/or roster changes, then so be it. But if we are devisive in any way next season, we'll get eaten alive. Find a way to gel, and the kool aid tastes all that much sweeter!
  7. Neither team will have an advantage when it comes the the Broyles vs Prince/Alfonzo match up. Ryan will make catches, and get yards; he's just too good. Where NU will have to win this game is with Hagg, Gomes, David, Cassidy, Osbourne making plays on the other threats. Ou is very similar to OSU with the stud (Blackmon) and a nice, but not spectacular compliment around him. Make no mistake, OU has good athletes, but only one Broyles. If the under guys (Hagg, Gomes, David) are able to cover up the slots/TE's for OU, we'll be able to get pressure on Jones. From there, our D can really open up. If Jones can really spread it around and pick his matchups, we'll play much safer. Think to MIzzou, we got most of the sacks when Gabbert realized he couldn't make his throws right away. Same thing we did to Jones in '09. OSU was able to hit some deep balls early, so the safties had to stay back an extra few steps, which opened up their running game. I would expect OU to go with that type of game plan early to see what they can get over the top. That means the early mtchup of our D line and their O line is the one to watch. This should be very fun!!!! GBR
  8. i know they let us down a little over a week ago, but i still have a lot of confidence in our receiver corp. a lot of talent and play makers. I completely agree, nice to see them bounce back and gain confidence again. There are some serious mismatches when we have Paul, Kinne,McNeil, Reed and either Helu/Burkhead on the field. Especially if Martinez continues to settle in running this offense. Taylor's starting to learn from his mistakes... Esp. against Texas. He learned forcing it doesn't work. He tried that against SDSU, too, to no avail. He's learning to be Cool Hand Luke and keep a level head when the going gets tough, instead of losing concentration, screwing up his zone reads, and killing our running game. He's got to take what they give him, and that' what he's doing again. Mike was MIA the whole Texas game, so it was good to see his very reliable hands back into the game Saturday, and Kyler is quickly becoming Taylor's favorite deep threat. If our receivers continue to step up, this offense could be VERY, VERY scary. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I didn't think we ran the read play as often against OSU. T magic did some great scrambling for most of his yards, which might make him more dangerous in the future. Cant wait to see what he and the rest of the offense can do against a very good Tiger D on Saturday. And make no mistake, they are good. Stong in the DL, fast in the secondary. We need solid games in all 3 phases to win! GBR
  9. The Reed catch should have been at least reviewed, bare minimum. At home, we should get every play that's even remotely close reviewed. And i don't want to hear that every play gets reviewed, no one who saw that on TV wouldn't have said "Let me see that again." If Prince got PI on his call, then why didn't UT get called for it on the deep throw to Niles that he didn't catch? Incredibly similar contact, one a penalty, the other not. Sirles got rushed so bad he didn't have time to hold... Didn't see the block in the back, so no comment. The facemask on Dennard was the right call. While not really on the facemask, officials will throw the flag on any tackle around the head that "twists."
  10. True or false: The ball landed out of bounds with one second left. You know it's true. Cornhuskers can't even argue that the wrong call was made. Some of you would rather have had the timekeeper's mistake stand so you could benefit from it, but you all know they got the call right in the end. So it wasn't the Big XII who rigged it, it was the NCAA who rigged it using Big XII officials? That's some conspiracy. When did they decide it would be Texas and Bama in the championship? When both were still unbeaten by midseason? At the beginning? Man, I sure would've expected us to get some calls in College Station when Texas A&M was giving us a hell of a fight. Turns out we got called for 6 penalties to their 5. I guess the NCAA just knew we'd pull that one out. And in the CCG, why did the refs make us take over a possession at the 1 yard line when the returner's knee hit down even though he was muffing the catch and didn't have possession? I guess they have to make it look good, right? Come on. Put the X Files conspiracy stuff away, bro. I will agree, when the ball landed out of bounds, 00:01 was on the clock. I will also patiently wait for the next football game to have an extra second put back on the clock, when a timeout is called, or a play is run that should stop it. Still waiting...
  11. That's just Bo. If he says he knew about what was happening with Tmart, then got asked the same question 4 different ways, he gets testy. Like we saw with Cody Glenn, if Bo doesn't want information about a player to get out, said information WILL NOT GET OUT!!! Next issue...
  12. 2. I really think Grixby was a solid corner, and played like it to an extent in '07, but just got manhandled in '06 having to go up against guys over half a foot taller and probably 30+ lbs. heavier. If he would have been able to play with a capable teammate for the big bodies receivers, and had good tutelage, he would have been all Big XII. Just my opinion. 3. Again, love Zac Taylor. Really, really, really miss watching that guy play. Such a high character individual as well. Edit: The bomb to Hardy where Taylor was rolling out right, c$%ks his arm back and just throws it as hard as possible whilst falling out of bounds is one of my top 10 favorite Husker plays. Don't know why, I just really love that play. I always thought Grix should've stayed on offense. Explosive out of his cuts, great top end speed. run the bubble screens to him and let him slip between guys for a first down. Run him underneath on the drag and watch him turn upfield for 20. Plus he's fresh for punt returns.
  13. I have always had a bad feeling, that if Byron makes the FG in 93, we don't win 3 of 4. I think Tommie and the rest of the seniors on the 94 team were SO driven after that loss, nothing was going to stop them from winning. If Tommie goes down in 94 like he did, and we had won the NC the year before, I think we would've lost the "edge" that willed the team to victory, even at KSU. That loss to FSU laid the ground work for what would become the hardest working football team in the country for 4 years. JMO
  14. Wrong. Tebow would have waited until at least 3 media outlets were watching before he would do something like this. Prince did it without anyone knowing who he was. Let the mud-slinging begin! Actually, Tebow would've waited for Kirk Herbstreit and ESPN, paid for her groceries, given her a ride home, and then circumsized her kids...!!
  15. I agree Chicago. Minter was great on flat coverage, Brown a bit better on the deep stuff (remember he started his NU career at CB) Farley, Super D, you could say Dan Bullocks I think too. Speed to burn, and Dan was much better than Josh at run support. Great thread!!
