More news from Rivals of discontent with teams in the Big 12 conference not wanting to be one of the Texas Horns hand maidens. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-wetzel_baylor_big_night_big_12_angst_090211 First Texas A&M announces their intentions of leaving the Big 12 behind , and now Oklahoma has given indications of leaving the Texas led league behind. Remember how Tom Osborne was consistently voted down by fellow Big 12 schools concerning a southern bias ; and last year Nebraska was looked at like they were miscontented , and an outcast. Yet a short time later , only a year and suddenly the rest of the Big 12 schools are "GETTING IT" ... Suddenly the rest of the Big 12 schools , who voted against Osborne in the past are probably thinking " why didnt WE think of that" ? Strange though , that OU would give an indication of wanting to leave the "joined at the hip" Horns behind ? I thought Oklahoma was just another county in Texas ?

WE ARE NEBRASKA , WHO HASNT WON A CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP IN OVER A DECADE. Just because it "ought to be so" doesnt cut it anymore ...hope you are right though ...

Echo , agreed , Fullback trap or iso ..

Year 4 - the year that Bo's full influence comes into its own. Also the year that the seniors that Bo had to salvage as recruits ; the year Callahan was fired , enter their senior year , unless redshirted. Frank Solich and Bill Callahan did not have a good fourth year , only Solich was granted more time. Make no mistake , a coaching change does affect recruiting , and witness this year , we have many redshirt freshmen playing on our team. There is quite a bit of talk from early practices of a pretty new bunch of players on the offensive line. Evidently the recruits that Pelini had to salvage when Callahan was fired may have not panned out too well , since we have some youngsters on board the offensive line. Hopefully this will pan out , but I dont have much faith that our offense will be much better than last years , although ANYTHING would be an improvement. Oh I am sure Saturday TMagic will look golden and the Huskers will run up the score on an inferior opponent ; but after the first initial games , we will be brought down to earth playing regular Big 10 competition. I hope I am wrong , but I see at least 3 losses before our bowl game. We have a brutal schedule , playing around 6 bowl teams regular season , as we have really stepped up our regular season competition. Guess we will see if Bo's influence and the coaching changes made last year , with some youngsters on board will pan out. Will also see if this new offense with Beck is "different" or just more of the same of last years " run Forrest run " TMagic offense. Hopefully what has been reported , that Taylor is more seasoned and will be more in control is true and this coaching change and offensive philosophy will pan out. Should make for an interesting year.

Yes when I saw Burk I was rubbing my eyes saying it cant be ... but evidently so , JEEEZZZZZ I hope we dont get that bum for our games this year ..

I was at that game in San Antonio. Happened to get tickets in a group of NWestern fans , who were pretty obnoxious the first part of the game. I guess evidently the NW players were also a little obnoxious , as Solich told his team to take the gloves off and we really put it to them after awhile. The NWestern fans were saying things like "send them back to the CornFields" at the start of the game. Of course when NU went WAY out in front , I replied within earshot " send them back to the slums" !

I think Taylor is a little on the homely side ? As far as football goes , I think by the end of the year Brion Carnes will be our starting QB ...
