  1. Didn't we hear last year that Sanders went crazy in Vegas with some hookers? Seriously...
  2. Why did Ekeler have to leave? I always got excited seeing him on the sideline chest bumping defenders as they came off the field.
  3. It's the most wonderful time of the year....cue the Christmas music and ESPN Bowl ads

    1. NUance

      NUance

      Ha ha! I actually like both those things.

  4. I usually don't like to listen to a football analyst who use to be considered "The Bachelor"
  5. I am thankful for sports betting on thanksgiving to take my mind off my in-laws!
  6. 10-3...would be tied for the best winning percentage over the last 9 years...I'll take that in a heart beat with our lack of experience. Look at next year...We are only losing 2 starters on offense...caputo and hardrick...and we have playmakers across the board. We lose arguably 4 out of our 5 best defensive players in Crick, Dennard, Lavonte, and Cassidy (the other one is Thorell). But look for us to have a break out year next year. Obviously we all wanted to win the Big 10, but top to bottom this conference is much better than the Big 12. We simply were not there this season.
  7. Was in Section 9...Row 51...same section as Husker fans but they were much higher. Took forever to get in to the stadium and to go to the bathroom...I mean forever! But the coolness of the stadium made up for it. Had a couple in their mid 60's right in front of us...at first seemed very nice, but once the game got out of hand. The man kept making comments such as "Time to start the heavy drinking now? huh!" and "Welcome to the Big 10!" I mean whatever I guess. But half their student section wasn't at the game, you could easily tell. Then you had like 5 jackassess come up to ask us if my father and I had been to "The Big House" before. I mean obviously we go to "The Big House" all the time to watch Michigan games since we live in Nebraska (sarcasm). Good experience overall, not saying all their fans are like this, but the ones we ran into seemed a bit like an arrogant Forrest Gump. P.S. Tailgating at the golf course is amazing! right across street from the stadium!
  8. My dad's driving up to Lincoln from Columbus and picking me up after COMM 109...Then straight father-son bonding for 48 hours
  9. Oregon Ducks...man they are fun to watch...and my girlfriend likes saying quack quack
  10. Forget Paterno. Forget Robinson. Forget Coker, Ferentz, and Vandenberg. This is our time to shine. Ever since we joined the Big 10, it was our goal to compete. These next 3 games, dictate our season. Michigan State will drop a game. We need these next 3 wins, more than any 3 wins we have needed over the last 10 years...Let's show up. Support this goddamn team and take it to the Big 10. This is our time, our team, and most of all our state!
  11. I have a lot more hope than i did against Ohio State in the 3rd quarter
  12. I grew up in Columbus...what a sh*thole.
  13. Without a doubt... How this isn't at the top of the list is criminal. I was 10 years old when this happened, and I cried.... I did the games where I was at...this is why
  14. I know it's beating a dead horse especially when we are saying our favorite Husker game, but I particularely have actually attended many disappointing games over the last 10 years and I am only 18. My Top 10 in chronological order. Nebraska vs Southern Miss in 2004- Lost 17-21. Joe Dailey ran out of bounds on fourth down on our last drive, behind the line of scrimmage. Nebraska vs Texas Texas 2005- Lost 31-34. Just go down Le Kevin!!! Nebraska at USC 2006- Lost 10-28. I have never seen such a conservative gameplan after converting a fake punt in the first quarter. Nebraska vs Texas 2006- Lost 20-22. Self explanatory. Nebraska vs Oklahoma State 2007- Lost 14-45. Stands were empty. At the end of the game I went down to get wristbands and gloves from the players. I remember man who had two working legs yelling at a man in a wheelchair because the man in the wheelchair had yelled disgrace at our Huskers. Nebraska at Virginia Tech- Lost 15-16. Probably the 2nd most disappointing game I have been at. Took 3 flights to get to Raleigh-Durham, drove 5 hours to Blacksburg. Then we had so many chances to take control of the game. I was in the endzone when Virginia Tech scored their last touchdown. I remember watching the long pass to Danny Coale sit up in the air, and thinking there is no way he completes this. Then I saw Coale, and hoped Thyroid Taylor would overthrow him. That didn't happen. That ball hung up there forever. Nebraska vs Iowa State 2009- Lost 7-9. 8 turnovers. Nebraska vs Texas 2009 Big 12 Championship- Lost 12-13- This absolutely sucked. The only game I celebrated a win during a loss, I jumped into my dad's arms and celebrated for over 10 seconds when the clock hit 0. I will never forget that; only game I celebrated a win during a loss. We drove to Dallas, and hit a snowstorm on the way back. Turned an 11 hour drive into 16. Nebraska vs Texas 2010- Lost 13-20- So much hype, yet such a dud. Nebraska at Texas A&M 2010- Lost 6-9. What sucked is driving 30 hours over an entire weekend to watch the refs screw us. Needless to say I went to the Big 12 Championship last year too, but that didn't even compare to the year before.
  15. They don't like how he practices, you have to practice hard to earn reps.
  16. Personally, we need Michigan State to lose more than anyone else, even if Michigan beats us, Ohio State will shut them down.
  17. The best question is I am not sure who exactly we would play in the National Championship. My theory on LSU losing two games would be knocking Alabama out of getting into the National Championship without playing for the Conference Championship. Because Alabama would have lost to an LSU team, that with two losses, is probably know where near the Top 10.
  18. I was only 9 at the time...just trying to add some spice
  19. It's fun to think we at least have a shot...something you cannot say
  20. Back on Friday November 23, 2001, the Nebraska Cornhuskers were in prime position to play the Miami Hurricanes in the BCS National Championship game. The Huskers were 11-0, they were going into a huge game against Colorado, and also had Heisman winning quarterback Eric Crouch on their side. Later that day, those dreams were thought to be dashed as the Buffalos raced out to a 35-3 lead and never looked back as the Huskers fell 62-36. Everyone thought the Huskers were virtually out of the National Championship picture because they were not even going to play in the Big 12 Championship. A bid in a less relevant BCS bowl was inevitable (so we thought). The next day, a formula was derived for the Huskers to make it to the BCS National Championship game without winning or even playing for the Big 12 Championship. Without getting into the actual formula, I will tell you what took place over the next 14 days in college football. After the Husker loss, the Oklahoma Sooners thought that they now had a chance to get to the Big 12 Conference Championship, and later the BCS Championship. All the 10-1 Sooners had to do was beat a lowly 3-7 Oklahoma State Cowboys squad. Oklahoma came out flat that day and lost 16-13. This was the first domino that went in the favor of the Huskers. The next two weeks in SEC play were huge for the Huskers. The Florida Gators (ranked number 2 in the BCS) who if they could win out would make the National Championship were upset in Gainesville by the Tennessee Volunteers 34-32. Tennessee then jumped up to the number two spot in the BCS and with a win over LSU in the SEC Championship, would have claimed a spot in the National Championship. Then came Conference Championship week, and the real drama began. Nebraska had now jumped to #4 in the BCS and needed two huge upsets to possibly have a chance at getting to the National Championship. They needed the three loss LSU Tigers to upset the #2 ranked Tennessee Volunteers, and they needed the #5 ranked Colorado Buffaloes to upset the #3 ranked Texas Longhorns. LSU took care of business early by beating Tennessee 31-20. It then came down to the Colorado vs. Texas game. The Huskers and all their collective fans were cheering for Colorado in this game to not win by too much, or they could possibly jump the Huskers in the rankings. Colorado upset the Longhorns in a crazy game 39-37. The margin of victory also helped the Huskers. The Husker fans knew there was a chance, but would the pollsters and the computers put Nebraska at #2. The BCS bowls were announced on the Sunday after. Three teams thought they had a claim for the #2 spot--the 10-1 Huskers, the 10-1 Oregon Ducks, and the 10-2 Colorado Buffaloes. Oregon’s only loss came to came to an unranked Stanford team 42-49. The Buffaloes two losses came to a good Fresno State team and an earlier regular season loss to Texas. Nebraska was blown out by Colorado in their only loss. The only arguments seemed to be between Colorado and Oregon. Oregon had won a weak Pac 10, but had only 1 loss. Colorado had won a strong Big 12, had beaten Nebraska, but had two losses. The Huskers sat back and watched as the selections were handed out. The first bowl game to be announced was the Fiesta Bowl, which usually took the Big 12 and Pac-10 champion, unless one of those teams played in the National Championship. The teams ran over the screen Colorado vs. Oregon. Nebraska fans rejoiced, as they now knew their destination would be the Rose Bowl, which would later hold the BCS National Championship. Nebraska had beaten out the Colorado Buffaloes by .05 points in the BCS, mostly because of their strength of schedule in the non-conference. Nebraska would later go on to lose the National Championship 37-14 to the Miami Hurricanes. But theoretically Nebraska is not out of the BCS National Championship in 2011. As you can see crazier things have happened. Yesterday, I wrote about how Nebraska made it to the 2001 National Championship in what has to be the most unusual and sadistic way ever. Well I am here to tell you that Nebraska is not out of the picture this year. I will give you a detailed description on what must happen for Nebraska to play for the BCS National Championship in 2011. Currently Nebraska is ranked number 10 in the BCS. The teams ahead of them include Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Boise State, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Oregon, and South Carolina. All of these teams must lose one or two games for Nebraska to make it. I will begin with what must happen for the Huskers. 1. Nebraska needs to win out, and beat Wisconsin in the Big 10 Championship handily. For Wisconsin to even get to the Big 10 Championship, they must win out, and have Penn State lose 2 out of their last 3 games which include Nebraska, Ohio State, and Wisconsin. Wisconsin then needs Ohio State to lose one of their remaining games which include Indiana, Purdue, Penn State, and Michigan. Nebraska destroying Wisconsin in a rematch would work wonders in the eyes of the voters and the computers. 2. In the SEC, LSU needs to beat Alabama handily, which would take Alabama out of the SEC Championship because they were in the same division. LSU would then need to lose to Arkansas in the final week of the season, and lose in the SEC Championship. 3. In the Pac 12, Oregon would need to lose to Washington or USC, but beat Stanford. This would then knock Stanford and Oregon out in consecutive weeks. Even if Oregon/Stanford wins out, they could still lose the Pac 12 championship and that would knock them out. 4. Again in the SEC, South Carolina would need to beat Arkansas, and South Carolina would then need to lose the last game of their season to Clemson. 5. In the Big 12, Oklahoma needs to lose to either Baylor or Texas A&M, and then beat Oklahoma State in the Bedlam game. 6. Boise State can go undefeated, and we would still hop them. If all this happens, Nebraska will make the BCS National Championship, guarantee. But the odds in my mind are about 500 to 1. We can work with those. I was hoping this article could be place in the Daily Nebraskan but they shut me out.
  21. Im only 18, but in person: Nebraska vs Texas 2009 (Big 12 Championship)...The only game I celebrated a win when we lost, plus Ndamukong Suh...are you kidding me? I remember taking my shoe off for Adi's kickoff out of bounds towards the end. But I looked up and saw a Texas fan say put your shoes back on. Not in person: Nebraska vs Missouri 2009
