Beck to Colorado!!!!!!!! Nope, they hired the Colorado State coach I think. Not sure why he would want to take a step down like that.... It was the San Jose State coach, Mike MacIntyre (sp?). I had to check because I wondered the same thing.

Best of luck to this year's class as they travel down the windy road of life. GBR ...And hold on, as you may soon realize that the "adult" is a fictional creature you believe in as a youth.

There are many Husker fans on this message board that surely know they need to stand up and do jumping jacks, as this is the quickest way to rid oneself of a sandy mangina. The internal sniping is at all time highs... and even the perennial lithmus test of fandom known as Knapplc is grumpy... the sun is cold in Nebraska at the moment. As for what went wrong, it's all about money (imo). You pay to play (at the top). Until Nebraska opens the checkbook and begins paying for coaching talent (meaning asst. coaches and coordinators) we're going to be second tier (i.e. top 25 but not top 10). Never completely horrible, but never quite great. Football Purgatory. By the way, second tier would put us right next to Georgia I believe... When was the last time Georgia was actually involved with the National Championship Game, or even beat a team it shouldn't have? And based upon talent alone, I think this would more negatively reflect on Georgia than Nebraska. So what's been happening with y'all? Shouldn't this type of "trolling" be reserved for teams that have recently won NC trophies, like Florida or Alabama. GBR

Papuchis is simply another classic case of over-taped, under-qualified. But man can he tape some fingers.

I believe you're overreacting a tad. I believe you're understating his overreaction a bit, too. I would even add that the original post qualifies as an idea, and that the subsequent responses from HuskerShark would qualify as sh#t. Irony? LOL! I'm not sure if I should reply with a 'great usage of gif' or if I should be creeped out a bit!

The back 7, with the exception of middle LB, appears to be the place to put the most athletically gifted players regardless of size - at least that's what it looks like when you watch the teams playing good D atm imo. It's starting to become difficult to physically tell apart safeties, outside linebackers and cornerbacks (for teams you're less familiar with). See the previous usage of Hagg and Gomes in the Peso. I think we've been poor enough (on D) to examine all options, including those that may be less likely to be implemented. For Ciante, I think he would need to gain about 20 lbs to be able to play most downs of most games as a linebacker, which may negate his quickness.

wait a second...I thought Barney Cotton couldn't coach and his linemen sucked so much that they were the worst of the worstest?@?@!##$! Sammy? I've never seen so much love for Barney?! I learned that the team has more heart than we (including me) give them credit. Arkansas State wasn't allowed to make it a game again in the second half despite Bo's unexpected absence and the glut of turnovers early in the half.

Because I didn't do anything to cause myself embarassment. You see, there is the Nebraska team...and there is me. We both wanted to see UCLA lose, but that's the extent of how far the we takes us. I didn't miss a tackle, I didn't miss a read, I was never out of position, I didn't get run over by a ball carrier, I never fumbled, never had a penalty called on me, didn't miss a single kick or muff a punt, or did anything bad as far as that game. Let's put it his way: What could you have done differently that would have saved yourself embarassment? Who do you think you are bringing logic into this thread?

FIFY

I don't know about exact percentages of the blame for Beck versus T-Mart, but I would argue the mistakes (e.g. bad reads/throws) that T-Mart commits are themselves at least 50% attributable to the coaching staff - Bo or Beck - because of the whole square peg, round hole thing. He's not Robert Griffin. If the play calls were more consistently plays that put him in position to succeed, he'd look closer to week 1 more consistently IMO. With all that said, I vote 110% for Tim Beck simply for calling that play near the end zone which I will not name. These are college kids; college coaches are rewarded handsomely to put them in position to succeed.

Not selfish. Just oversensitive and stupid. +100 I actually mean no offense, but you would be much happier applying that type of passion to something you had an actual stake in. I bet you'd even have more people to watch the game with I know this because I used to (almost) be this same guy. Not so much the breaking/fighting, but losses would ruin/sour an entire week.

His review was just thorough to not remember our quarterback's name, so obviously it's spot on. Fear the pad high passes!

With all due respect... I think Bo is a plateau. We're at the top of Mt Bo. Otherwise Bo would hire some assistants that are able to be more than yes men and/or complement Bo's deficiencies.

That might be overstating it a little bit.... I think that Alvarez came from a program that was well-rounded, and did things the right way. He saw it as a model of success, and he used that knowledge when building their program. Wisconsin is it's own program, and a step above Missouri for sure.... Emotionless, logic-based statements that don't flame the troll from Madison aren't what this thread needs!?

Wisconsin wants to be Nebraska. Just ask Barry Alvarez what blueprint he photocopied when he took the job at 'nobody cares about U' back in the day. They are our little brothers, be proud that we modeled the path to success so well for them. This year is their "golden" generation. Enough said. Wisconsin - aka the Missouri of the B1G.
