This is the kind of thing that went on all day long in 2002. You just have to walk along and take it. You truely believe that if you try to do anything 50 people would be beating you to death.

Couple hundred . . . couple thousand . . . whatever. 90% of the students on the commons last night gave the rest a bad name. This stuff is indefensible. Protesting on behalf of Paterno (and I was a HUGE fan of Paterno prior to this) is a slap in the face to the victims. As an alum you should be ashamed and demand better. Yes a couple hundred. The overwhelming majority were just kids going outside to see what was going on. I don't defend the actions of those few at all and am embarrassed by their actions. I also blame the BOT for announcing this at 10:15pm after the whole town was waiting to hear them all night. At the end of the day, YOU NEBRASKA fans are the only ones who I ever hear that say that we are disrespectful in nature to guests. Ask everyone. I always welcome opposing fans to my tailgate and enjoy getting to know them. You are the only board in the last 5 years that I've silently trolled on that says we are disrespectful. Go ask the teams that we've played this year if they haven't been treated great. Every single one of them talks about how great it is. Perhaps your expectations of conflict leads to you being cold, defensive, and arrogant. I didn't address this issue. I've never been to a game there and I don't put much weight behind random and anonymous stories from 2002. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Also, "thousands." http://www.reuters.c...E7A90WC20111110 I was there in 2002 and it was as bad as all the stories you have heard. We were there early and had people from 8 years old to 80 years old screaming Fxxx You at us everywhere we went all afternoon long. I saw people screaming at frail old women because they were wearing red. Someone spit on my wife. I know that sounds impossible but I swear that is true. I saw several people openly smoking pot. It was the most drucken lawless place that I have ever been. We left in the 3rd quarter because we were concerned for our safety. Clearly the worst I have seen anywhere. Worse than Colorado 2001 which is the only other place I have ever said I will not go back to. I am not talking about the acts of a handful of people. I am talking about thousands of people. It was truly disgusting. I guess the problem then was that the PSU fans felt cheated in some way for the split national championship in 94 and the husker fans had to be punished for that for some reason. Being a night game probably had something to do with it too. Thing may have changed since then and the PSU fans have become reasonable and respectful. I believe that is possible and I was hopeful that the reports after the game this time would be positive. I still believe that is possible but what I saw on TV makes me think not much has changed since I happily got the hell out of happy valley the least happy place on earth.

That not so great OU team did beat us in the Big 12 Championship game just saying I never said we were great. They were good enough to beat a Husker Team with no offense. Good. Not so great.

Seriously, A&M in the top 10? Last year they lost to everyone with a pulse. That is excluding a not so great OU team. Also excluding a Husker team with pretty much no offense and the refs helping A&M any way they could short of actually tackling Husker players.

I'm confident Bo didn't put a moments thought to how impressed the message board expects would be with any hire he has ever made. Give me a list of bad hires Bo has made and then I will consider if this is something I am going to worry about. He made a mistake allowing Watson and Gilmore to stay but he had some help making that decision. Other than that his track record for picking guys who can coach is pretty good. Not long ago people were upset with him hiring unknown Ekler who left to become Co-DC at a big 10 school. A guy named Snyder hired alot of coaches that no one was impressed with that turned out to be really really good coaches.

Relax folks. None of us know who Bo may have contacted and never will. So feeling better you knew we tried to get the "top" LB coaches does you no good. You will never know. No reason to make assumptions either way. I don't know why people are concerned that out LB coach may not have enough star power. Perhaps rivals could rank them for us. The current defensive staff is not much on star power but the have done a really nice job. Bo will hire who he thinks is the best guy for the job. Having ties to Carl is a big plus because they know more about him than the LB coach from Whateverschoolmakesyouhappy U. Having ties to Nebraksa means the guy understands the unique situation that is Nebraska. That helps them be prepared for what they have to deal with when they get here. Neither of those ties are a requirement but they do help when evaluating candidates. I want the new LB coach to be good at coaching, recruiting, and working with the other coaches that are on this coaching staff. Where he comes from makes no difference to me.

Game day in Lincoln is a day long event. The champions club is very cool. Tailgating for hours before and after the game. Talking to friends. Talking football. Watching other games on TV. A little drinking (or alot of drinking on occasion). I always go to the game but always back out to the club at halftime. Don't always go back to the game. Some games I could just sit out at the tailgate and watch the game. We always have several people wo don't go in. Saturday there were people trying to give away tickets when I went into the game. I would not have to go into the game to have a realy fun day as long as I can see the game on TV.

Then you just haven't met the right drunk people yet. Kidding. Everyone enjoys life in their own way.

I thought is was a little louder than I thought it would be. I was not excited at all to see this game. I'm glad I went but KU is really bad. People make too much out of a pretty insignificant comment that Bo made. Missouri game loud - KU game not loud. It's not tough to figure out why. Pass rush? 6 sacks saturday. That is not too bad. They shut gabbert down. We miss Suh but it's not the end of the world. It sounds like Eric Martin may be the answer to the pass rush problem.

Delta/Northwest Airlines has flights from Lincoln to the Minneapolis hub via Regional Jet flights 2 or 3 times a day.

Yes clearly. It's not that tough to figure out. If Hagg and done the hookem whores hand sign after his put return he would have gotten a flag too. The penalty is for "Taunting". That is taunting and nothing else.

Texas helped us get into a better conference. Thank You Whornes!

Are my eyes deceiving me, or did somebody from BAYLOR just elude that Nebraska isn't Big 12 material????? Yep that is Baylor who got in and stays in a BCS conference only because a few Texas politicians want it them to be. But they do have that gay bear claw hand signal to make them feel like they belong in the same conference with the other 3 other inbread texas schools. I guess that means they belong.

That is just Jean-Jacques Taylor showing us what Texas Class is all about.
