  1. Awesome ! Great facility.... Phillips is Unbelivable. Boyd is Back! With Cavanagh and these last three OL classes ; it is only a matter of a short while before we see this again!!!!!!!!! Go Big Red! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v3t_kqH3GE
  2. I love this Hire!!!!! Man! Riley is on a roll today! This guy was Eli Manning's QC! I just saw a video of him at Oregon State! Impressive!
  3. HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Perhaps I and a couple of others were mistaken; but we took FOE not to mean the usual intent ; but rather F... O.. Eichorst, seeing that it was coupled with the Pelini band. Whatever the intent, I think we need to just let it go and chalk it up to life's lessons as we grow.
  4. Great post Landlord; I think that we need to understand that Kenny is simply a young and emotional kid with a world of talent. I think Kenny has served Nebraska well for the most part, and has made us proud. I have nothing negative to say about him. I think it was an unfortunate choice that he wore the FOE insignia. That was in poor taste certainly. We must understand that these kids do have an emotional tie to Bo since he recruited them and became a mentor to them : for better, or for not so much better. These are 18 -21 year olds who have left home and have gone off into another world to play big time college football at a place legendary for it's success and which is often crawling with the local and national media, as they now live in a fish bowl. Bo and his staff are all that they have known since coming to Lincoln. I can see them sending out one last showing of support and respect for their fired Coach. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that IMO. Coach Riley certainly understands this. He has been very classy with his response to this , and has reached out to them with grace. We have seen nothing but positive feedback from them since. These are great kids. It is just unfortunate about the FOE thing. I am sure that once the days and weeks go by now that the season is over, and the draft looms for Kenny, he will reflect on this, and we will probably see or hear some sort of acknowledgment or apology on that issue. If not ; I am sure he will put it all behind him anyways. As should we ! I wish him all the best in the draft, and Beyond! Thanks for the memories young man!
  5. "Get out of Detroit, and move to Chicago??????????????" If there are 125,000 thugs in Detroit, there are at least twice as many in Chicago. All he would be doing is going to a bigger party ! Let's face facts here gentlemen: Ndamukang is what he is. There are no excuses for his actions. He is a tremendous athlete with unbelievable talent : No question about it. The thing that holds him back is his attitude. Ndamukang has been his own worst enemy. The guy is extremely Immature and unstable at this point in his life. I thought that it was just youthful folly when he first came into the league and did these things then. However; he has continued on this treadmill, and he has not matured one iota since. I so want to see him make progress and reach his fullest potential in the NFL, and in life. Each year it seems that we are hit with another negative headline or two about him. That is extremely unfortunate and very sad to see. I am afraid that we need to face facts that Ndamukang is not going to change unless there is a concerted effort towards change and maturity. And the only person that can launch that effort is Ndamukang . It is his choice, and his alone. And his choices in recent years have not been wise ones. Very unfortunate !
  6. Let's quit with all the negativity. Come on guys! I just have a good feeling about this guy. I don't think he is like Solich, or Callahan, or Bo! He is the first guy we have hired who is an experienced and successful-by OSU standards- HC since Bob Devaney. We have seen that he has the demeanor of Dr . Tom. He has a good recruiting pipeline to the West Coast: especially California. And keep in mind; we still have our footprints in Texas, Louisiana , Florida, and Georgia. Best of all; he is an excellent developer of young players: quarterbacks in particular. And; since we have lots of raw talent at QB on this team already- let alone his knack for recruiting NFL QB's- that last fact excites me! Just imagine Tommy only 10% better than he is!!!!!!!!! And what about Stanton? What about Darlington, and the other two? Think about it! This is an exciting time ! I think we will be fine. Let's be guardedly excited , patient, and enjoy the ride!
  7. Good job Barney. Thanks for the memories!
  8. Done deal ! This will bring immediate dividends to Michigan, and bring more credibility to the big 10, and Be a boost for Nebraska.

  11. Stanton! Dual threat, and a great Pocket passer. Throws great on the run and has a nice deep ball. And he will not hesitate to take off. Good foot speed. Don't know how much-if at all- his injury effected him. We will see! He has tremendous poise, and a rifle for an arm. Tommy has all of the physical tools like Stanton , but lacks the poise at times and is inconsistent. This was a serious problem during the Bo years...Inconstancy at QB ! Perhaps this is simply a systemic and/ or mechanical thing with Tommy that Riley can correct: If not ; then I believe Riley will not hesitate to go to Stanton or Perhaps Darlington who is also very impressive. Stanton was heavily recruited by Riley, because he fits Riley's offensive scheme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ped-BYisE
  12. I was 09 years old living in New Orleans and watching the Orange bowl for the NC against Louisiana State. I started as a full blood LSU fan, and by Half-time I was RED! I loved the fight in that team, and the physical run game. It was love at first sight. From those two NCs under Devaney, and all through the Osborne years, the calendar and the players changed , but the style of play changed as much as the culture in Nebraska, the Huskers' uniforms , and the expressions on Tom's face! ! I loved that continuity and consistancy. By the time that I got to High School , there was no doubt where I wanted to go to college. I love and cherish all of those memories, as much as every blade of grass on the campus. And there are lots of great memories too! Especially that classy and special rivalry with the Sooners. I miss that so much. My favorite memories? Number one had to be my senior year in high school that fall in 1978 when Tom Osborne got his first win and Conference Championship against The Sooners. What a game !.. Two of the most Explosive offenses ever in CFB were on that field in Memorial Stadium that day. The no 1 Sooners had he no 2 offense, and the no 4 huskers had the top rated offense in the country . Both ahead of Alabama's vaunted offense! The NFL talent on both of those teams was RIDICULOUS. Many still think as I do that that 78 squad was Barry Switzer's best team at Oklahoma. But it was a final score of 17-14. as the goal posts came down in Lincoln. Physical and hard hitting. The Huskers caused 10 fumbles and forced 06 turnovers in the frigid November plains. The most brutal hit I have ever seen was John Ruud's hit that caused Kelly Phelps to fumble the ball: which was ruled incorrectly down by contact. That team was one of Tom's better teams. His best certainly up to that point . The 82 OU game, Tom Going for 2 with the greatest CFB team not to win an NC! What an awesome team! What a Game! The pipeline Champs of 94, The Destruction of Steve Spurrier's fun n gun....62-24 for the second straight NC in 95, to the 97 Champs! From the Mat Davison Catch, Eric Heisman's run against Missouri and his TD against OU, the Jordan Westerkamp catches, to the Comeback and OT win on black Friday in Iowa in Bo's Swan Song. What a journey it has been! I am so excited about Coach Riley!
