  1. Really? Perhaps I’m missing something you’re seeing it vice versa. Reeds stupid penalty gave a first down when it would have been 4th and 24. No one knows what would have happened but.........
  2. Well I’m a baby boomer and when I went there, 68-72 Student section was the south end zone. It was a blast. Had no complaints.
  3. If the pregame and the Crowd reaction when the Huskers came out of the Tunnel was negative? Then you weren’t at the game. I’ve been attending games since 1967. I was at the Oklahoma game in 78 when Billly sims fumbled, at the Miami game. No matter what game or what opponent, I was always able to hear the band until, last night. Never has the stadium erupted like that. You couldn’t even hear your own voice in your head. Announcers on Tv (my daughters told me) said they even got goose bumps from the scene. I imagine the recruits were left with the thought of OMG!!! It’s like that just when they run onto the field! Yes, it would have been awesome to have seen a game and experienced the whole hit dog but, not a totally negative experience. JMHO
  4. I Look forward to following his career no matter where it’s at. Wish it was here but, things are as they areLook forward to following his career no matter where it’s at. Wish it was here but, things are as they are
  5. I stated from the beginning I hope Meyer is innocent and stays at OSU it only helps the B1G. However, after having his text messages wiped that dated over a year, says it all. He knew everything and didn’t care. I’ve lost all respect for him as a man. Great coach but a sleeze ball of a man.
  6. If he’s indeed transferring, To bad he didn’t make the decision before classes started. He will count against scholarship this year.
  7. All this reteric flying around. Non OSU fans of course want to see Meyer gone. I (Husker Fan since 1958) however don’t, even though it doesn’t look good for him with current information we have. I’d rather see him stay. It only makes the B1G stronger. OSU no matter what will always be a big dog (Blue Blood). Yeah, they may fall a little with hard times. Like all Blue Bloods do but, History indicates that they will still be a team to be reckoned with just like Penn State. Hopefully, Nebraska will resurface and claim their spot among the elite. As a true fan of college football, I’d rather face OSU with Urban then without him. Then a victory would be earned. Right now the B1G is the best conference. Losing Meyer can only hurt the conference as a whole. If he’s guilty of a cover up then he should go. Just like Paterno. Justice will prevail. I hope it’s in favor of keeping Meyer where he is.
  8. Don't get carried away predicting who's the best investment. We haven't sen what Diaco can do yet. All the greatest players doesn't mean a thing if the system doesn't fit. I drink the look aid as much as anyone but, it's a little early to mKe that prediction. IMHO
  9. Gotta look at the gloves he's wearing when he shows his top eight. I know Oregon is not Addias. Don't know about the others. But we do know what N is.
  10. I went to HS with another decent back that wanted to go to USC. He didn't get the offer from them I believe due to grades(could be off base here). New him quite well. Was passed from grade to grade. Didn't really have to do the work to stay eligible due to his talent. Don't recall if prop 48 was in effect in 69 or not but I believe it was. To make a long story short, this athlete did receive a scholarship to NU after having to cram for SAT/ACT/CEEB (college entrance exam board)whatever test athletes had to pass.back then. Myself not being an athlete i also had to take CEEB for admittance to NU. This particular athlete won the Heisman at NU. Johnny the Jet. I didn't see where this kid blamed it on anyone. I only read where a friend of his pointed the finger at teachers. Yes, I do believe teachers and administrators have to shoulder some of the blame for not preparing these kids for life after HS. Get them special classes so their reading skills improve enough so they can understand the work they are trying to do. Those of you getting on this kid have no idea what his home environment was. For him to get the work done shows me he has a good work ethic. I'm excited about this new Husker. JR didn't have much hype coming out of HS. He certainly didn't have his numbers or size

  12. It seems most posters are negative Nancy's. I guess this is one of the only places they can find compatible mates. I was bleeding red before Devaney era began. Social media seems to bring out mostly complainers. Most definetly brings out great arm chair QB's and talent evaluators. NU administration should make all new hires from this board. GBR Take a chill pill, let's see what Riley and staff can do with talent they bring in. I like this staff (mostly, with a couple exceptions) and what they bring to the table.
  13. Gates, Foster, Rairdon, Farmer, Farinok. Starting o line 17. Freshman will really have to be studs to start.
  14. I'm with you Taylor, can't enlarge. iPhone 6S
  15. It's available to everyone. The arrogant are the ones that don't feels like they need anything other than themselves.
  16. Who knows. Maybe a visit changes his mind. Once on campus, it always impresses.
  17. Jeff Kinney is definetly in the top ten all time. Different eras different offenses. Kinney played in Pro style and was a beast. Always difficult to bring down. Great receiver out of the backfield. There are only 4 or 5 on this list that I'd take over Kinney with his talent in his era over others in their era. If you look at what they did during their time not what they would do in another era jmho. I was 21 for the game of the century. No game since has had 1 vs 2 and by the end of first half everyone knew whomever had the ball last with enough time to score would be the winner. Greatest game ever. Don't think there's been a game that matched #1 offense vs # 1 defense and # 2 or 3 offense vs #2 defense.
  18. One other game in my memory of games I attended. OU vs NU 78 and the explosive roar when sims fumbled at the three. I was in the south end zone student section(not a student at the time, graduated 72)for that game. Atmosphere very similar to Saturday's game. Except we were 76,000 strong for that game. I couldn't tell you which roar was louder at the end. Both incredible experiences for me.
  19. I think the plan is... IF TA's passing-decision making starts leading to turnovers... and that's IF... Then the coaches can tweak the offence to more run plays and designed quarterback run plays... hoping that leads to fewer turnovers. I think the coaching staff will attempt that first... and they will give that a really hard and sustained attempt... before sending in any backups. We could even end up being a run first team again ? In fact I just don't see any backups getting any playing time this year unless we are way ahead in games or unless injuries force the issue. Just stop....that isn't happening with this coaching staff. And weren't you the one that kept talking about reality in another thread? I think you were...this is another reality for you, this coaching staff is never going to have a run first mentality.
  20. I agree to a point. When we played Okie light during Thurman Thomas and Barry's time there, Nebraska's D was better than Okie's O, Barry didn't need much space to pop through and then make that sideways cut and leave a Husker backer or safety grabbing air. His O line was ok, it wasn't that solid. JMO

  22. Chevy man myself. It is a nice ride though. I rode a bike for four years. I'd take it in a heartbeat.
  23. Bray working it. Nice trio.... Johnson (still work to do), Roberts, Hampton
  24. Maybe just the opposite. Perhaps he was waiting for the offer to be a part of the Calibraska movement. Ya never know with today social media and peer recruiting.
