You're getting nice and frothy about this, awesome! Bowl game stats were not included in the official numbers until 2002, so Dayne's stats never reflected 2000 yards during any one season. If those numbers were inlcuded, Rozier would be even closer to Dayne when you account for his entire college career. Rozier would have had an amazing 2300 yeard season in 1983 if that were the case, even surrounded by as much talent as he was. If you figure in Rozier's JUCO numbers(1157) and bowl games (340), his career total yards would amount to 6277 on a hell of a lot fewer carries than it took Dayne to reach 7125. (Note: Found different JUCO numebrs for Rozier on different sites. Anywhere between 1157 or 1316. I went with 1157 just to be safe.) That really doesn't change anything in your whole argument, but it shrinks the gap between their numbers, and the 1500 yards difference you keep crowing about is quite false. If you are going to attach unofficial numbers to your boy without doing the same for Rozier, I guess he will look that much better. Why not add in receiving yards and kick return yards? Dayne had 304 of those. Rozier had 665. Add in bowl games, Rozier had 39 more receiving yards. Figuring in JUCO, bowl games, and all-purpose yards, Rozier gets 14 more touchdowns to his total as well. I don't know Ron Dayne's receiving numbers in bowl games or receiving touchdowns, you can look it up if you want. So now, if you are relying so heavily on numbers, Rozier's true career total will have 6981 yards and 63 touchdowns. Dayne has 7429 yards and 71 TDs (plus whatever receiving he may have had in bowl games). That narrows your gap a little doesn't it? Those numbers are reflective of their entire college careers, which you are so hung up on. Not too much difference, with a hell of a lot fewer touches for Rozier, while Rozier's teams enjoyed more success. Now you got me all worked up, dammit. But if you look at all that and still think Dayne's career was that much better, well "that's cute." Just please stop posting the same crap over and over. There are quote functions or copy and paste for that.

My wife can't load the dishwasher. She just puts bowls and glasses in random chaotic order so that you can't fit other stuff in without rearranging the whole thing. She'll put a mixing bowl upside down in the center of the rack, taking up the whole thing when it will fit sideways on the side. She'll put glasses in the bottom rack when the top rack is still empty, leading her to put plates in the bottom rack diagonally. I open up the damn dishwasher and have to rearrange it so we can fit in twice as much stuff. At first I thought she did it on purpose in a passive aggressive effort to just get me to do the dishes instead. But no, she goes out of her way to load the dishes whenever she can and is a habitual cleaner/picker-upper, she just does it poorly when it comes to the dishawsher. My wife has a PhD, is a college professor, is an artist and conducts research in "the aesthetic experience" for gods sake, does jigsaw puzzles as a hobby, and is obsessed with organization. All these factors should make someone an absolute pro in the field of dishwasher loading, but nope. She just can't do it. I don't understand.

So, list of all time best running backs in CFB history, ranked by quality of career, not by most talented: 1. Mike Rozier 2. Rex Burkhead 3. Marlon Lucky 4. Dan Alexander ..... 39+. Ron Dayne That's more like it.

If they played on opposite teams, Bo would have at least 2 Conf Championships. Martinez wouldn't have been the starting QB on Tommie's team. He'd of been back up to Berringer just off the mental aspect alone, not counting his talent at putting the ball on the ground. Honestly, I think he probably would have been playing WR. I LOL trying to picture Martinez blocking as a WR in Osborne's offense! He probably would have been a DB. If he can't block, he definitely won't tackle.... Oh, yeah, there's that. He probably just would have sat and then transferred to Kentucky or Northern Iowa instead.

He had a 2000 yard season and his teams were National Champioship contenders every year he was on campus. Those were things Dayne cannot claim. To be fair, Ron Dayne's overall durability and the career rushing record are things that Rozier can't claim, and Dayne lifted his team to higher rankings each consecutive year. It's almost a wash, really, but everyone's opinions have been stated. Why keep repeating yourself over and over?

I suppose some would consider it a "lifestyle" if you kept "shoving it in everyone's face," or if demanding "special rights" or laws instead of keeping it to yourself, or if you insisted on redifining our sacred societal institutions. Or are those hallmarks of an "agenda" instead? It's hard to keep the silly arguments straight, so to speak. Thank you for sharing. What do you mean by demanding "special rights" or laws? How is the definition of your married redefined by 2 women getting married? Can you provide an example of that you describe as "shoving it in everyone's face,"? Thanks. I appreciate you input. I was being sarcastic brah, hence the line about keeping the silly arguments straight. Anyone who uses those homophobic terms above are clearly full of crap, yet they have been common arguments in favor of continued discrimination. So calm down, we're on the same side.

On the flipside of that, the Callahan years helped me realize that there was more to life than whether or not the Huskers win or lose football games. At one time, any loss was incomprehensible, and even close wins were cause for grumpiness. But after Callahan, I learned to shrug off a loss and get on with the rest of my day, and I enjoy football games for the overall entertainment value. Part of me mourns the loss of the passion I once had and the dominance that used to be on display in the 90s, but mostly I can appreciate the magic that was captured during those times and still enjoy what we get to see today without having a loss ruin my weekend. Still a diehard fan, but I gotta admit, I like it better this way. It's healthier!

I don't know all that much about basketball, but I think this is a situation that will take some time. Tim Miles isn't like Bob Huggins landing at Kansas State - Huggins was already a big name in coaching circles and able to get some big time recruits immediately. Miles is still an up and comer; we haven't seen what he is truly capable of. With his first class of recruits redshirted and ready to play this fall, with a sold-out brand spankin' new arena, there will be opportunities to open eyes that Miles simply couldn't do in his first year, aside from the energy he brings. Some programs can have quick turnarounds, but since Nebraska is a basketball never-has-been, a little momentum will probably need to be built before expecting any huge recruiting splashes.

Sounds like several people are defending Wisconsin based on their losses being close. Nebraska had a lot of close games too, but WE WON THEM. Sure, the CCG was embarrasing, and championships mean a lot, but even the UCLA and Georgia losses were entertaining games. And we won 10 others. 2012 was one of the most entertaining seasons I've ever seen out of Husker football, and some here would rather go with a team that couldn't even win 9 games? Colorado used to base their entire season on how well they could stack up against Nebraska. To me, hanging your hat on a CCG win by Wisconsin where they backed in by default, when they otherwise had a miserable season, is being too much like the Colorado fans of old. Kudos to Wiscy for getting that conference championship and playing in the Rose Bowl. That really, really hurts. But taking the season as a whole? The answer is simple: Go Big Red.

This. I can't believe so many people are voting for Wisconsin's season. We shouldn't be happy with the embarrasing nature of Nebraska's losses by any means, but Wisconsin's record doesn't even meet the minimum standard for most long-time Husker fans.

I don't understand why someone would admit that Rozier was a better player yet argue so passionately that Ron Dayne had a better career? Are you just splitting hairs for the sake of argument? Rozier was better, period. By the way, Rozier had better numbers as a pro to boot.

Both are perfectly legal, even removing the church from the discussion. Would #1 not fall under "Marital Status" in the Nebraska Fair Employment Practice Act?

I used to get that way every spring for years and years but have learned to ignore that feeling after too much coach-speak, spring game stars who never see the field in the fall, and bluster from bored journalists. I actually do feel that this year is going to be a really good one, but don't read too much into spring practice reports. Oh...what the hell...I used to feel the way you did and then I realized it is a lot more fun to get excited and overly optimistic. To me, that is part of being a fan. So, I throw caution to the wind and eat it all up. I'm pumped for next year!!!! You're probably more exciting to hang around with than I am.

Seeing kchusker talk about scrambling is like hearing Mr. Burns talk about sideburns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzpk5dMhVE4 Just bustin' your balls, man.

Enough time for Bubba Starling to fizzle out of baseball and finally get to Lincoln to suit up, eh?

GNC? Sale? Do yourself a favor and look for this stuff online. GNC's prices are ridiculous, even when they are on "sale." I jsut looked on SupplementWarehouse and you can get the same stuff for $25. There are other wholesale websites that are probably similar. I would never buy anything from GNC or Complete Nutrition unless it's marked for clearance.

From the comments section of Peter King's SI.com article deriding the Patriots for miscalculating Welker's value. Posting because it makes me feel better. Also I sort of agree. I don't totally buy that. I would agree that Welker's success was largely a part of the Patriots system, but he was a perfect piece for that system. If he was nothing special as the comments seem to say, other receivers should be able to collect similar numbers, and/or defenses should be able to shut it down. But it hasn't happened.

Lol, they can go ahead and give Cassell more chances to start if they want. He'll still suck!

I agree with this. Especially with the way things are in the NFL right now, Rex would be ideal for a lot of teams. You really don't see a lot of feature backs carrying the load anymore, as almost all of the offenses are based on the passing game. Running backs are valuable for changing the pace, picking up short yardage, picking up blitzes, catching little swing passes, etc. Rex is great at those, and he will be a great professional and teammate in the locker room.

Is there a spacecraft following closely behind it? Because if so, we should all evacuate this planet! (in case you don't know what I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia....religious_group))

Hell yes!

Guilty as charged. T_O_B I'm there, too. Don't like icing on donuts or cupcakes either.
