  1. If I see another 3 person pass rush I am going to lose whats left of my mind. Attack!
  2. I am very new to this. However, I am almost 100% sure Barrett McDonald from Millard South accepted a scholarship offer from the Air Force Academy. It was posted November 8th on his father's Facebook acct and Barrett's Twitter acct. I don't know why it hasn't been posted anywhere. I spoke with him (my nephew). He took an official visit and the coaches visited with him in his home. If I am incorrect, I am sorry for the post but he is really looking forward to this experience and playing for the Falcons. I don't know how to link things for you all to verify. Sorry.
  3. At the 3 second point, I would love to have a wallpaper made of that. That is great. Can anyone do that?
  4. Gillylen is going to get lost in any rotation. I have nothing against him but he honestly seems lost at wide out. He has below average hands, not a really good blocker, and his route running is terrible. Maybe putting him somewhere else will help him out. He hasn't gotten a lot of playing time, and that is for a reason. His play isn't warranting it and others have passed him by.

    WOW

    Up in stands right now. 70-30 split is pretty close. We have shown up. Hopefully we will bring the noise.
  6. Just a quick glance and it seems like Hawaii did the best (1 out of 40,625). Texas was like 1 out of 58,000 and Florida was 1 in 52,000. I didn't look at all the states but Hawaii stood out.
  7. I went and looked up the stats. 4 tackles, 2 for loss and 4 QB hurries. Not to mention we held them to 259 total yards on offense. I don't think Suh was dominated. That is a good game for a DT, maybe not dominating but still very good. Plus I was thinking the same thing when the announcer said that. He said he dominated Suh. Give me a break.
  8. man eating mastadon has it correct. We should not shy away from anyone. Perfect opportunity for us to show where the program is headed. Man up!!
  9. Just two things: There were really only 3 penalties (not 4). The 2nd holding call was completely bogus. It was a cruddy block (pushing in the back after he was soundly beaten). Thus we still should have had a FG try. If you see the flag flying in, it was by the LINESMAN. The LINESMAN. Holy bejesus. Second thing: I think Watson called the same play (the play action, roll right with the same exact routes) about 10 times. Worked once. Once. When they broke coverage one Curenski's lone catch. By the way, his route running sucks. Other than that, I really look forward to the rest of the year. I do sincerely believe we can go at least 9-3. Go Huskers!
  10. I (unfortunately) live down in Sooner country. I have a chance to listen to the sports talk radio almost daily on my way to work. They are extremely confident. To tell you the truth, lately, they have a right to be. The only way we will be able to shut them up is to beat them. Their main concern is the loss of there top recievers. They are going to be very tough again (Bradford and a couple others return that were thinking about the Pros but decided to come back). Personally, I would love to take them down a notch and think we have an outside shot, but we lose a lot of offensive weapons as well. Go Huskers!
  11. I agree. I have never, ever heard radio broadcasters apologize for the product they are seeing on the field. You can generally hear the disgust in their voices.
  12. I am sorry but I can't get into the "second favorite team" thing. Its Nebraska or nothing. Sure I will root for an underdog or for a team to win when it helps us, but that is about it. I am currently stationed in OK and have been listening to the Talk Radio (640) and I am embarrassed for us. Quotes like "the Cornhuskers are bad, simply bad" or "I can't believe that they hired Callahan in the first place" or "If I told you 10 years ago that the Cornhuskers would have the worst defense in the Big XII you would have thought I was crazy". Oh, there are alot more. Almost all of the radio hosts don't think we have a chance to win another game let alone beat OSU this week. They went so far as to thank us for getting Keller or OU would probably have him starting and Bradford holding his helmet. (By the way, I still think Keller is very good, Oline problems).
  13. I am repeating what I said in a previous post so forgive me. Callahan and the defensive minds must have come together in the middle of last week to discuss their strategy for the Missouri game I presume. Then I assume Cosgrove takes front stage and discusses what they plan to do for the upcoming game. At any point in time during this process wouldn't you think Callahan would stand up a say "Please, give me something better than this. Is this the best you can do"? I would have listened for a couple minutes and put an absolute stop to that crappy game plan. How can you basically play a prevent defense for the ENTIRE game? Players out of their natural position, no aggressive calls, etc. Did they honestly think that strategy would work? Never in the history on mankind has that type of game plann won a game. It was like watching Missouri running the 2 minute offense against a team that was up by 20 and just didn't want to give up the BIG play. Well, they certainly had enough of those. I have been watching football long enough to know that you must, I repeat must put pressure on the offensive team by any means possible. Rushing 3 players (a couple linebackers at times) is not going to cut it. Any QB in College could have picked our defense apart. Hell, I could've and I am 44 years old and have bad knees. We have hundreds and hundreds of hours of practice during the year and this is the best product we can put forth? I really feel sorry for the DBs. I really feel that they could make some plays if the QBs would be under more pressure.
