  1. I have made my opinion on this site regarding Coach Callahan very clear and after the bowl game it hasn't changed. I know he will be back next year...but I am not the only person on this site to suggest he be fired. Most people have responded by saying that if we fired Callahan we would have to rebuild again. Why? I don't have a problem with the WCO, just the coach. Aren't there other coaches out there who could coach the same style offense. If I remember when Notre Dame hired Charlie Weiss he was left a number of players that fit into his system. If this system is as popular as they say it is, then there has to be someone out there who could coach it. Just Wondering!!!
  2. I wish I could have been at the game...I now live in California, and haven't made a game in Lincoln in over 10 years...I'm sure the jumbotron helped make the correct call. The announcers on the TV did not agree with the reversal saying he held onto the ball long enough. The bottom line didn't allow the TV audience to see how many feet the receiver got down. By the way how much money would it cost to buy a jumbotron like that.
  3. How stupid is the Colorado Head Coach. Our back-up Quarterback was lined up to kick a field goal, and he doesn't call time out. Shouldn't that have been a sign something different was about to happen. I believe I counted three trick plays in the game...when will they learn.
  4. I love the bottom line...scoring updates all day is awesome. However during the Colorado game I noticed when they were showing re-plays they would not take the bottom line off. This made it very difficult to see the replay...especially on the Colorado pass that got reversed. I couldn't see the whole picture clearly. Did anyone else notice this or have issues with this.
  5. I have to admit on paper Nebraska v. Texas on paper is OK. But we have 3 defeats and Texas will have at least 2 (that is a quiet way of predicting a Huskers win over Colorado and possibly an A & M win over Texas) If I were the Big 12, I think I would be thinking..."Maybe not the best teams record wise, but the two schools always travel well.
  6. I'm really excited about what I am reading regarding all these quarterbacks. I have one question...is there really a need for so many on the team. Is this an issue with the depth chart in the next 2-3 years. Are the coaches concerned about some of the QBacks. Does anyone know why we have landed so many. I am counting 3-4 new ones coming in.
  7. MOVED TO OFFENDING POSTS THREAD FOR PERSONAL ATTACKS. AR HUSKER FAN
  8. For the past couple of seasons, I have bashed and trashed our choice of a coach. And everyone has told me I was wrong...this is the guy that will lead us back to the top of the college football world. Well after a 21-6 4th Quarter I now realize I was wrong about Coach. So to everyone on this site who ever told me I was wrong about my thoughts concerning Coach C, I was wrong, I'm sorry for not believing. I now realize that in 10-12 years Nebraska Football will be back at the top...not with a goal to win National Championships, but getting to the Big 12 title game. Thanks for setting me straight. Go Big Red and Coach C, take us to the Promised Land.
  9. I don't want to look at ways KU might win...how about looking at ways NU WILL win
  10. How can you improve the best Husker site on the World-Wide Web.
  11. Lord knows I don't like Callahan, and the USC game didn't help. I have said I was happy with how the team played just not the coaching. It seems like there are some on this site who are OK with mediocrity. They are OK with weak game plans that don't give their teams a chance to win. Yes USC was better than the BIG RED, but not 18 pts. We aren't the only ones who didn't agree with coach and the gameplan...the announcers were a little confused as well. Remember last year against Kansas the players said they weren't ready, and we got our JOCKS handed to us...I think we were ready to play USC, and the players showed it NOT the coaches. I remember a video that came out during the Orange Bowl National Championship game...it showed clips of TO's halftime speech. Remember we were behind at half, and TO told his players they were going to win if they played their game. I'm not sure I want to see Callahans half-time speech. As for people coaching a BCS program...maybe you should lead by example. Everytime a negative comment comes on here you rip people saying they are wrong. You seem to think what Callahan is doing is right and we are heading down the right track, but yet your just like us a Husker Fan. I don't doubt you want this program to be a winning program, but come on, to rip some one because they are passionate about their favorite college football team, that's going overboard. Many of us and probably you as well have grown up with Husker football all our lives and 95% of that time it has been a winning program with great traditions, some of us are not used to seeing this program on a major downslope. Many probably thought we would be down, but not by some of the ways we have been under Callahan. So I will close by saying I hope people continue to be passionate both ways, but ask that we allow people to be passionate, and the next time I see the Huskers on TV maybe I will see "SKERSFAN" on the sideline.
  12. I would have posted this on the thread "Lost the Faith," but truthfully I have never had faith in Callahan. I love Husker football just as much as anyone, and am very proud of how the team played saturday. I thought we would give up 40 pts, but I thought we would put up more pts ourselves. Then I watched the game. There was no way we were going to score over 20 on these guys. The speed of their defense was amazing. Let's not kid ourselves, this USC team is not as good as they have been...they are still trying to find themselves, we really got beat by 2 players...the QB and WR. A couple of things that caught my eye...when you force the opposing offense in long situations, you need to get them off the field, not allow them to continue the drive. I know of a 3rd and long and 1st and long that we gave up big plays...25 yards on the 1st and long. That is not physical football. USC won because we allowed them to continue drives. I will agree with the writer on "Lost the Faith" Callahan called a horrible game. I read last week on this site...many of you were saying we would win. I would think you would be disappointed that we were never given a chance to win. I thought the West Coast Offense was supposed to be more balenced and open up our passing game. We looked like the old huskers, run, run, run. Our passing game was working enough to pass more than we did. Again their speed on defense shut down the running game. Either Callahan doesn't have confidence in the West Coast Offense or he doesn't have confidence in his team. If either is true, then all of us in Husker Nation should be worried, but then again most people on this site are more concerned with moral victories and year to year improvement, then they are with victories in general. I really thought we would lose the game, but let's be honest an 18 pt loss could have been 8-11 very easily. Yes I am proud of the team, but the coach has some splanin' (I Love Lucy) to do in regards to his offensive approach. One last thing...did I read his goal is to only get back to the Big 12 championship game this year...did he even mention if he would want to win that game. May I remind all we are a program that plays for championships not championship game appearances.
  13. Can I just say I think we will get beat by USC. I don't think it will be close. I do believe the BIG RED will play hard and show up...but USC is just too good. However this is why they play the games on the field. May I remind Husker fans of the year we were two time defending national champs going for a three-peat. On paper we were unstoppable, we had huge holes on our team due to graduation, but still loaded. This was Scott Frosts first year. Does anyone remember the score. Arizona St. 19 Nebraska 0 Yes I believe we will get beat by USC, but I thought we would three-peat that year as well. GO BIG RED
