  1. Could everyone delay their posts about 15 seconds...the site I"m watching is delayed.....hate seeing your posts before I see the play....lol
  2. Great catch by Turner..but if he goes direct forward he either scored or gets to the two
  3. Watch "Office Space". Solution is in the movie.
  4. Our tight ends...have a suspicion they've been heavily game planned into today's game. Me ... about to go fix the downstairs toilet, then whacking cutting off most of the seasonal plants in the yard, clearing out a space for the new snowblower arriving Monday, lunch @ chic-fil-a, the HUSKERS on the tube and a company party after the game. Big day for me for sure.
  5. Italian Spiderman! It's where the gif originated .. about 32-36 into the trailer
  6. Over...I think we run until they can't tackle in the 3rd and 4th quarter. No depth to help them... Over...unfortunately. O/U: The number of times the NU/PSU pre-game prayer from 2011 is shown on ABC during the broadcast: 3 Under - # of yards rushing by TM - 85 Under O/U: Number of sacks by Eric Martin - 1.5 Under - 3 O/U: Number of references to "the heart of this Penn State team after all they've been through"....5
  7. Have to fess up..was not a big fan of the Pony Posse when it was initially discussed, but find myself envious of all the cool pony taglines. Danged peer pressure.
  8. Having been to Iowa City, I'd jokingly say..."Stay home, enjoy the comfort and warmth"....but Mt Vernon is good, also, depending on your direction of travel..either Des Moines or maybe a Casino hotel in the Quad Cities.
  9. Looks like the DB is making contact with Kenny's arm under the elbow and attempting to pull it away from the ball to me. Also for anyone that disagrees with the Adams penalty, Watch what #27 does to Abdulah near the sideline of that play (I believe around the NU 30). If Adams doesn't warrant a personal foul, that sure does. and there you have it......the pic that settles it. You're right. It does. The DB is playing the ball. There was incidental contact. No flag should be thrown on this play. If this call was warranted, then so were all the other PI calls against Husker DBs this game. I bet you'd argue the opposite way on those calls though. The call doesn't have to be right to validate our victory is what you don't seem to understand. It happened. The game is over and we won. Let's reverse this logic....."If all the other PI calls against Husker DBs this game were warranted, then so was this one". See how that works? Truth is, none of them should have been called...but they were all called..and pretty consistently according to what-ever criteria the refs chose to follow that day. So how we argue doesn't matter. As it stands, I feel OK about this call....it was in line with the others that were called. If this was the only "iffy" PI call, then I'd be down right ecstatic because then we'd have "gotten a break"....something that hardly ever happens to the Huskers.
  10. Glad I'm not the only one that felt they were a bit low brow.. They're not known for inviting opposing teams for tea and crumpets I love tea and crumpets-especially with orange marmalade No wonder the wife won't let me go back to England...I've always thought it was tea and strumpets.....
  11. Dear Old NU: 34 PSU: 17 Land Grabbers: 267 Airborne: 220 Turnovers Huskers +2 Penalties < 50yds
  12. If I keep saying and believing this it has to happen sooner or later, right? Nebraska finally plays a very good game with a favorable turn-over ratio and minimum penalties and stoopid plays. Nebraska wins by 17+ and only because we allow them to score late in the game after it is already over.
  13. Glad you posted it here...I thought the same thing when it happened during the game...."way to go dude..you threw down the decoy...but you threw him down convincingly"...LOL
  14. My goodness...as much of a sunshine pumper as I am...and I pumped a bit on this thread just the other day....watching them (Oregon) tonight just makes me a little bit sick in the stomach thinking about a game against them. Bottom line though...I still would like to see it. A "nothing to lose / everything to win" game for us and "defining loss / well they should have won" game for them.
  15. So comforting to know our fans aren't the only ones that go into meltdown mode. Visited a couple sites, pretty typical stuff. No credit to "those cow turds from Nebraska" at all. Lots of folks want the D coach fired. Several want the head coach fired. Johnny Adams is an idiot. Their student section was almost vacant and all students should lose their tickets. Same old Sparty team of the 70s, 80s and 90s...imploding competely despite great expectations. And of course..."the ref's gave away the game". Although they sound more defeated than the HB crowd. We get pretty danged angry and fired up, but I don't sense the "all is lost forever" feeling here like I felt on those boards. It's a great day to be a HUSKER FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Glad I'm not the only one that felt they were a bit low brow..
  17. Perfect...I went out and cleaned my gutters when we threw the INT early 4th quarter...came back in to see the final drive...WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!1
