Walk-On (2/21)

  1. Annoucement for the PC @ 2:30 within the hour
  2. We will know no later than 2:30 (press conference)
  3. We had more yards in defensive penalties with their backup in then they had gain legitimately. Regardless of the excuses, we completely shut down their backup qb, which is what you're supposed to do. Even with Robinson in the game, we probably win. Michigan still does not score 20, though they may make it to the endzone. The 3 picks probably still happen. Bo's plan was going to be effective. That was already evident. They probably wouldn't have needed 20. How many three and outs did they have when Shoelace left the game? With Shoelace, they definitely would have limited the amount of posessions our offense had. Also Dennard was throwing some great balls to keep the drives going, I doubt he would keep that up all game if he hadn't gotten hurt.
  4. We actually ate at Schmidt's Sausage Haus and enjoyed it immensely, great brats, red cabbage, and cream puff. The buffet was great and fast, the wait surprisingly was only about 15 min and then all you can enjoy/eat.
  5. I was at the game and I was pissed that they said we disrepected the band, when they completely disrespected the visiting team by not allowing them to have a warm up. Football was priority one and every team is supposed to be allowed to warmup at halftime. They had 20 min's to get it done and they did not. If they were running behind they should have removed one of the video game drawings. You do realize kickers can pull muscles not warming up right and also miss field goals for not getting to practice. I am sorry but had OSU not disrepected NU first, NU would not have (probably unintentional had they know how sacred this SCRIPT thing is) had 2 players run on the field to do what every football teams has always done at everygame and at every stadium and warm up and thus disrespecting OSU band people. PS our team didn't get to warm up because there was 1 min left when the script exited the field and the players got on the field.
  6. I did attend the game and all the pregame festivities. I arrived on Friday and went to a restuarant call Thurman's and after 2hours and many beers final got to eat the biggest and best hamburger I have seen/eaten. During the wait I talked to several OSU fans and they were very nice and informative. They said they wanted to treat NU fans the same as they were treated in Lincoln and to be honest I think they succeeded. BTW the hamburger I ate had 3x3/4 pound hamburger patties, half-pound or so of ham, 6 slices of bacon, lots of cheese, jalepenos, and mushrooms and was amazing. I didn't finsih no worries. Saturday I went and toured the campus and scouted out our game plan for the day. I was impressed with the stadium and thought it was kind of similiar to Memorial. We went to several bar's and talked with alot of OSU fans and each were kind and even bought us drinks. Furthermore we were invited to several tailgates and were able to go to a couple and had a great time. One thing I did not know was how OSU fans are so into their band but it compares to Texas A&M kind of passion imo. The only real issue outside of losing was at halftime. The band took so long that during the script part, that 2 NU player's came out to try and get 2 quick warmup kicks in and were booed. One OSU fan turned to me and said that was so disrepectful and I did reply with the fact that it was also disrepectful to not allow NU to warmup and I left it at that. I don't think he realizes that the band is not a requirement to play football and if they went any longer the ref's would have had to boot them from the field. I am not kidding though, our players did not get on the field until 1 min and did not have time to throw the football or anything else. Anyways, it was fun and I look forward to seeing another game someday in Columbus. OSU fans, thanks for being great hosts to Huskers fans during our stay. Go Big Red!!!
  7. I am going up with my cousin and staying at the crowne plaza, let me know if there are any husker gatherings would love to hang.
  8. Doesn't the ball have to be somewhat catch-able, for it to be dropped? I find it pretty hilarious that you think a ball has to hit a receiver in the chest for him to catch it. The rule has always been "If you get two hands on it, there is no excuse for dropping it". Do you think that every pass hits Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald in the numbers? Those guys still make the catch, don't they? Both parties are equally responsible. You can't demand near perfection from a quarterback, and then justify receiver mediocrity on the same hand... But I do agree that any increase in his comp % won't be because of a lack of drops. More than anything, I'd say that being in Beck's system for another year will be the difference. I don't know, I've never regarded comp % as that meaningful of a stat...Nick Foles completed 70% last year at Arizona, and look how well his team did. I'd rather see Nebraska utilize more mid/range downfield throws and have a lower percentage than incessantly throw dump offs and have a good percentage. So if I launch the ball as hard as I can (what Taylor does - according to our WR corps last year) at your feet, and you make an effort to catch it, and it hits both of your hands, it's your fault for dropping a laser that is 3 feet too low? C'mon. Oregon - I can understand your arguement but there were so many passes that were in the chest area that were dropped at a much higher percentage than most other teams that play division 1 football. I honestly think that if the receivers catch those balls this year and everything is the same as last year, Taylor hits 60%. With that said I will also say if the same balls are dropped this year but Taylor's footwook is improved that it also would be 60%. What I hope is that both are improved and he completes 65%+. GBR
  9. I finally found it! It's still there!! Interesting!! I know it's Wikipedia but still interesting, especially since it's still on there! http://en.wikipedia....uskers_football I just deleted him. http://en.wikipedia....uskers_football Got to love Wikipedia. You took it down.....yet failed to replace his name with "Badgerfan". haa now I'm on the staff Also lets put this into perspective: New Offense Sophomore QB Mediocre OLine Mediocre Defense New conference Maybe just maybe, all of these played a part in how this season turned out, I didn't list injuries either
  10. That is just because TO is trying to downplay the situation before he lets everyone know hat we can't hire Badgerfan. The Fairbury hotdog request was just too high of an asking price. We cannot hire him anyway. He would install the Cosgrove defense whenever we played Wisconsin. Isn't that the defense we played this year?
