True, true. But I'm just not the biggest fan of Hardy. Everytime they throw to him I hold my breath. I can't wait till all of our receivers are at least 6'3", 240 lbs and can catch anything. Agree 100% Hardy's a joke! Even if he catches it, I'm afraid he'll fumble. Agreed...but what about Todd Peterson. For a walk on...that kid is a baller!! He got LIT UP in the 4th and still came back to get...what...2 TDs... And Swift's catch in the 1st...with a defender draped all over his back and the safety bearing down on him...simply awesome!!! Swift is my hero. I see him in there in a clutch situation and I feel quite a bit better. I think it was... ohh... a 3rd and something. Purify went out and my dad said, "looks like a running package." "No, swift is in there." Seconds later, completion to swift for a 1st (or very close... I wish I had a tivo so I could have watched some of that again when I got home ).

USC #1 dropped 2 huge passes at least. It happens on both sides. If you negate all drops, USC has another 14 points as well.

Who is UN? It's NU Trojan. I'm glad you know a lot about college football. Right, the Nebraska University. His mistake makes more sense.

Those interceptions were awesome. He's the best ever.

Thats crazy talk.........everyone knows that NU didnt lose a game till 1999. Tom was always known for having the ability to win the big one. I'd like to point you to California Husker's post above.

The first player is currently in a Nebraska hospital. On the field, it was believed he had a crushed larynx, pretty serious stuff. The second player had a concussion. After last week's incident with the NFL player, they weren't taking any chances, however. I didn't see YOUR EMT's ask them to hurry up and walk off the field. I can understand sh#t like this said during the game, but the day after! Do you really think this impacted the game? If you do then you weren't watching the same game I was. You can blame the game the loss on your coach or on your players, but this is asinine. I hope that visiting players take note of this Memorial Stadium rule, "Due to potential momentum shifts, injured players must leave the field promptly. Time limits apply!" As far as the apology is concerned, it is accepted. I have said stuff like that in the heat of the moment but have not always had the courage to come back and apologize. Yes, Jesus is watching and he wants us to know this: "...Let them who glories(example people who are fans), glory in this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth for in these I delight..." Yeah, I was in the west stadium (behind the USC bench) and I saw a coach make a sign toward his throat and he made a choking face toward some other players who had apparently asked what was wrong. I knew that there was no effing around at that point. That is some serious stuff, glad to have read this morning that he's okay. Maybe I'm naive... but my first thought was "that guy must be really hurt" not "tehy must be cheating!!!!!!111!!1!!1oneone" He wasn't moving and from where I was (50 yard line, 18th row) i couldn't even see his chest moving... scary stuff, the footballing.

So if we don't applaud and praise every stupid thing they do, every crappy coach they hire, then we're bandwagon fans? If we care about just what in the hell is wrong, thing we see a problem, voice concerns and legitimate criticisms it seems like we're thinking about it more deeply and are concerned. If I weren't a fan, I wouldn't care if NU sucked, would I? I think it's better to be a critical, thinking, sometimes negative fan than a lapdog to a program. I think that after the drastic changes they made to the coaching staff (no NU alum etc.) and playing style ("WCO") they have a lot more to prove to use to garner our loyalty. Tonight I sat in the stadium watching, and I realized something. I turned to my dad and told him that the saddest part is that it's not sad to lose anymore. He said, "We're getting used to it." That sucks. We don't owe BC or coz ANYTHING. The state ("WE") pay them a sh#t load, more than I'll ever make, to make the huskers into a good team. Why in the hell is there this sucking up to them when they fail at this job? If someone walks into my house and puts on my mom's clothes, that doesn't make her my mom. If these stranger coaches come in and put on red shirts, that doesn't make them huskers. Speaking of that, I have a problem with coz and company using the word "Blackshirts." That's a tradition that was started by a specific coach and there is no legacy connecting the current conception of Blackshirts with the blackshirts of years past. Did anyone know that polaroid doesn't exist anymore? You can buy crap that says "Polaroid" on it, but it only exists as a label that crappy chinese companies can stick on garbagy digital cameras. It's a marketing trick... so are the "Blackshirts." Who are these people? I don't recognize them. It's an empty signifier.

There are enough bowls for just about half of all teams to go to one. I don't think that 90% or any percentage would say that we aren't in the top half of all teams.. there are some lame bowls out there, though.

He tripped over one of his own doods in the 4th... maybe 3rd. We stuck it out to the end... pretty funny. A person in front of us had one of those roll-up signs that say "Go big red" on one side and "blackshirts" on the other. She had unrolled it so it read "LACKSHIRTS"... we all enjoyed that.

They hung fewer points on Idaho. You do realize that we were in the top 20 and should have at least provided them with a challenge?

Agreed, but that is what the recruiting classes will bring. Our 1st team is as good as USC's 2nd. Better talent is coming and so is the depth. Been hearing this for the last 4 years where are they? If they are here why arent they in the game? They'll suddenly emerge as seniors who have never played a down in a real game and totally pwn everyone.

A D-Coordinator should also see that there are these fundamental problems and implement workshops or training sessions specifically to cover these deficiencies. Blaming highschool coaches? What? You know that in college you continue learning *beyond* what was learned in highschool, right? It's not just a place to practice what you learned in highschool.

I loved how excited the coaches were on the sideline every time they scored. I thought, "Gosh, you think they'd be bored with scoring now that they have 42 points, but they aren't." I love that kind of attitude, they love scoring points and loved the heck out of us tonight.

Once they went up 21-10 and stopped the 2nd half drive and created a short field and made it 28-10, the route was on, because all they had to do was pass rush and go for turnovers! That is what Pete Carrroll has done since he has been at SC, they force TOs, save for last season! Turnovers are gonna come when you have big leads and the other team is one dimensional! What is their 2nd team? I saw, #2, #13, #21, #31, #23 all run the ball on the blackshirts? #83/86 caught passes at TE, WRs, 1, 8, 9, all caught passes... They are light years ahead! when it was 42-10, it looked just like the Nevada game, save this time Nebraska was Nevada! yep...thanks Frank. Yeah, it's all solich's fault.

Are you insane? They were on the "short side" of the field because NU sucks. They didn't get to roll a dice to see where they'd get the ball and got lucky; it was a beat down. Those last minute scores were freebies.

They put 11 more points on us than they did on Idaho. We are terrible. The last 3 scores were gimmies, I think to me and most of the people who are involved in the rankings the score was 17-49 at best.

I was listening to rome the other day-- his comment was that if the NU we saw in the NU - WF game shows up, we lose by 4 TDs. Sadly, that doesn't seem unreasonable However, I think they're going to be crazy up for it

Oh come on. Again, as was said last year, he made something like 23 of 27 FGs his freshman year (or 27 of 29, I don't remember exactly, but he was damn good) and then they let him kick a total of 7 times last year. I would leave too. College football is a business especially at NU. You can't treat it like a business on one end and then like some kind of emotional bond on the other and be bend out of shape when a player "beaks up." I don't blame him for leaving, he's a good kicker and he knows it, he was being under-used and he left. Good. He wants to kick. How many of you would stay at a job that you really loved but you never got to do? Why should he have any loyalty to the program that didn't have any loyalty to him? I hope he turns into a really great kicker just to punish BC for a short-sighted move.

He gave me a number of pelts for sundries and dry goods.

I'd much sooner eat a rat! At least its anatomy is familiar and I'd figgure out a way to prepare it

Can make some nice money selling those And never get tickets again? There are certain strings attached, but none that are too constraining There are several seats owned by this particular individual and people who sit there generally know or are familiar with anyone else who ought to be sitting there ("I'm so and so, son of such and such"... not as vikingish as it sounds ). Anyway, it's not something I wish to waste for a few hundred bucks (or even a few thousand).

Racist.

I thought you wrote "month"! Hahah I thought this was about giving up (essentially) a month's pay (or something like that) for the tickets. It's nice having certain friends-- I just got 2 today for 60 a pop. Fortunately, that is NOT a month's pay for me, nor did I have to eat any insects at all. But.. hmm... it would depend on the context re: moth-eating. I have a little bit of dignity and don't think that I could do it especially in a public, ass-making situation.

Wow.....he did strugle at times because of inexperience, but Grixby seemed out matched most of the time. Saying that one of our top tacklers was the weakest link is insane. Having your corner being one of the top tacklers is a very bad thing. That doesnt mean he is good , that means O-Coordinators are targeting him......wonder why?.........Oh ya cause he sucks. Exactly. He'd face guard, not move on the ball, and then tackle the receiver after he caught the ball for huge yards.

No matter how much they pay him, he's still playing for the Devil Rays I wonder where he'd be if he had come to play either or both sports in college.
