Ulty

I guess I'm in the minority for not having a problem with this fine. A few of the things that Suh has been penalized for and fined for in his first couple years were total BS, and perhaps some of the things he has done, such as this hit, or kicking Schaub in the balls, other players might have skated by on, but Suh has had done enough to earn his reputation (and not done enough to prove his haters wrong) that he won't get the benefit of the doubt on something like this. This would not be a $100K hit for anyone other than Suh, unfortunately.

 

I predict that the next hit that he gets penalized for this season will be something that a no-name player might have gotten away with, but there will be an equally large fine and/or suspension waiting for Suh as well.

 

It's too bad, because I like Suh, and his personality and demeanor were excellent during his time at NU, but his NFL on-field persona has gone the other way.

Clay Matthews hit out of bounds on Colin Kaepernick received zero punishment

Matthews is a bit of a media darling and gets the benefit of the doubt on crap like that. It's not right, but if Suh had done the same thing, we'd be seeing replays of him stomping heads and kicking balls again, instead of fawning over his beautiful, flowing hair.

Everybody loves Sapp, maybe they can love Suh one day too...

Wow, what a douche. I forgot all about that little episode of his.

In contrast, Sapp's hit on Clifton was perfectly fine - it was on the shoulder and in front of him, it was Clifton's fault for not paying attention to his surroundings. Sapp's douchiness and his character otherwise speaks for itself - the guy is an ass. Suh's hit on the other hand was at the dude's knees when he didn't see it coming. I have nothing bad to say about Suh's personality, especially in comparison to a prick like Sapp, but he goes a little too far on the field, and the microscope is on him.

Sounds like a good idea. But, asking Nebraska fans to wear anything but red will only create an unimpressive clusterf#&k of mottled splotchyness, imo.

 

This isn't really accurate, at least not by my estimation. Here's games since 2010 where we have gotten off to hot starts against decent teams:

 

2011 Wisconsin - scored first, then again to lead 14-7 early.

2011 Michigan State - had the first two scores of the game both in the first quarter

2011 South Carolina - Scored all of our points in the first quarter

2012 Ohio State - they scored first, but we responded with three unanswered scores to lead 17-7

$h!t, forget I said anything then! This thread is supposed to be about positives; that's not the vibe a get when I look at that list of games.

 

The thread is about positives, sure, but the specific question was games we started out well in. Sorry if I rained on the parade answering it properly

Well, I almost started an argument regarding the definitions of "hot start" or "unanswered", but I'm not Devnet.

I think the real positive is that last year's game was a night game on the road, with a ton of poor tackling and slow pursuit, tons of special teams mistakes, and poor play calling when we needed a good drive, yet we lost by only one score. We know that the speed on D is better and we have the home field, so I honestly think that if NU avoid too many mistakes, it's a victory. We don't necessarily need a perfect game, just not a bad one.

For once, I'd like to see NU get off to a hot start. When was the last time that happened against a decent team? If we can start well and maintain confidence and crowd support, the ingredients are there for a big win.

Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma.

Well, crap.

I wouldn't call that a bona fide offer. But keep asking them questions. Their willingness to respond to you and the info they give you will help you guage their interest even if they aren't making offers yet. Either way, try to negotiate and be willing to walk away.

SIGN HIM UP

 

and Suh Jr comes into the picture at 0:25.

The idea of the SEC beating each other up is nice because it seems like they always have 4 to 6 teams in the top 10 at any given time, and a round robin of those teams would be brutal. Yet the top teams in conference rarely actually play each other. Alabama only has two ranked teams on their whole schedule. I would say that SEC conference schedules are not any more of a gauntlet than any other conference.

NU - 41

UCLA - 45

Rush - 200

Pass - 315

a 70-3 final score or else i will demand that bo be fired

I know T-Mart had that bruised shoulder and everything, but we should be able to score more than 3 points.

Not too shabby, Peyton.

I just heard that Bo has lost EVERY game in which the opponent has outscored the Huskers. He's like 0-20 in those games. Can someone confirm this?

So he loses when they give up 200+ yards and they usually win when they rush for 200+ so what are we trying to say here?

They just need to execute. Don't point the finger, point the thumb.

He should have drawn an unsportsmanlike conduct flag for that gratuitous second spin.

 

He would have twisted his whole leg off and still scored. May have had to sit out a game to let himself heal though.

It's just a flesh wound.

Sometimes when that wake-up call comes, it's still too easy to hit the snooze button and roll over. The wake-up call is one thing, getting the f%#K out of bed and putting on your pants is quite another.

Deadspin did an article on the 17 worst uniforms in college football. I hadn't seen this Miami (Ohio) one:

Pretty sharp

Looks like somebody's obnoxious custom bowling ball.

I don't really see a ton of sexy matchups on the college football calendars over the next few weeks, so any major movement in the polls are going to have to come as a result of big upsets for the most part, imo. NU just has to avoid being on the wrong end of one of those upsets, and now with UCLA and NW ranked ahead of us, there will be plenty of opportunities to move back up again if we can get our $h!t together.

NU - 49

So. Miss - 24

Rush - 310

Pass - 250

Last season included a lot of really close games and 10 wins. It was a lot of fun. I know there are differences between coming from behind to win a close one versus pissing away a lead and holding on against a meidocre team, but even so, if every game goes the exact same way and we end up victorious at the end, I'll be tickled f#ck!ng pink. I think most of us would be able to look back on what a thrilling season it was, once again.
