Why is it that on TV they can use Super Glue to connect two pieces of metal together to hang a guy over the edge of a 112 story sky scraper but when I simply want to glue the sole of my shoe back together it doesn't stay put?

I'm with you. I have two daughters in HS vb. One is a starter on varsity and the other one sits varsity and plays Freshman/ Sophmore, Reserve and JV. Can't get enough VB. GO HUSKERS!!!!!! This one might be a tough match. They better play better than they did against ISU.

Ahh...memories. The first year I lived in a fraternity by East Campus. I then lived in apartments just across the street north of E. Campus. I then moved to a house south of Lincoln General Hospital. I then started dating my now wife and as far as my parents knew I lived back in an apartment behind burger king at 48th and Holdredge.

Zaire played well but it wasn't like he was a man child out there making every play. He made his share of mistakes and was out of position sometimes. He did make some good tackles that had been lacking in the first two games. I wouldn't say he played better than any of the other LBs on the field. He made a couple plays that were very visible though to the fans. The injury absolutely stinks for this year. I have been anxiously waiting for him ever since last year ended. However, if he can make some of the plays he did on Saturday with a torn ACL, I am now even more anxious to see what he can do on a completely healthy knee and one more year around the program learning the defense.

An aggressive zone blitz defense can be very affective against the run. Against a run team you just keep more people at the line but you still use the same scheme to hide who is staying. For instance, one play I remember against Denver, Atlanta was showing 3-4 front but all 7 were at the line. (3 down and 4 up). At the snap, the four aggressively went back into pass coverage. Against a run defense, you would just drop back maybe two which would leave 6 defenders against the run at the line. The two dropping back then become LBs to pursue a play.

This is a game I wish we didn't have officials for. The crowd will not be into the game. Next week would have been better but sometimes that doesn't work.

This statement say so much. Honestly..... So...a tax refund or a drop in taxes is relying on the government financially??? Really??? News flash, it isn't the governments money. If they allow you to keep more of YOUR money, that isn't living off the government. Taking someone else's money who worked hard for it and giving it to someone else is living off the government. this has been bothering me so i am going to try to explain it for you a little better. bush sold the american public on the notion that if elected they would get a tax refund (so people voted for him because of a promise of a paycheck, something you seem to have a problem with. although, i doubt that is the only reason people voted for bush, just as the reasons to vote of obama are far more complex and idiosyncratic), but under that auspice he was really just trying to pass a huge tax cut to the opulent minority. it was an unfunded tax cut that facilitated historic wealth redistribution to that opulent minority on the back of the middle class and our increasing debt. that is far worse, more irresponsible, and gravely out-of-line with true conservative values than 47% of americans not paying federal income tax and a sliver actually receiving money from the gov't to survive. I love the phrase "unfunded tax cut". Since when do you need funding to cut taxes. The government is not giving money to people, they are allowing people to keep more of their own money. You do understand that if everything else is constant cutting taxes by $1 increases the deficit by the same amount as increasing spending by $1 . . . right? I see a common tendency amongst GOP partisans to ignore that fact. Unless of course (as I've come to suspect) people don't actually care about the deficit so much as their suspicion that the size of government is exploding because of that durned Obama. Wow....you just stumbled on something. Maybe we should cut spending. YES I DO CARE ABOUT THE DEFICIT. I WANT SPENDING CUT!!!!!!!!!!!! All the friggen tax increases you can have is not going to come anywhere close to eliminating the deficit. You are looking at one side of the equation that does very little.

actually, I never really figured out why people loved Keith Jackson. Another thing to ask yourself is back when Keith Jackson was making a name for himself, how many games were shown on TV on a given Saturday? Maybe 3-5???? That means the networks could pick the top 3-5 people to do the broadcasting. Now, ask yourself how many games are shown in any given WEEK. It's not only a full slate on Saturday on MANY different networks but they also have games on Thursday and Friday. Just think of how many games are televised on Saturday. I think there are three on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, CBS sports, NBC (ND), all the BigTen networks, PacTen networks, SEC networks, Texas Network...and on and on and on. And, you expect to have top notch talent every single game? I just don't understand people who sit there and listen to a game and bitch about the announcers constantly.

I would like to see two stats to go along with this information. a) NCAA D1 average scoring nationally for the same time frame. b) Average number of plays in a game over the same time frame.

I really really wish we played a scheme more like what Atlanta played last night against Denver. I know....everything looks good when it works. But, I believe we have the players to play an agressive zone blitz defense out of either a 3-4 or a 4-3. That was simply fun to watch. When the O line and QB have no clue where the pressure is going to come from on any given play, it really helps everything else work instead of rushing the same 4 guys the same way almost every play.

I had Direct TV for years. They screwed me over and claimed I owed them over $500 because their sales person was not honest with me. I refused to pay it and it's the only time in my life I have ever had a collections agency sent after me and I still didn't back down and they can go F*** themselves. One of the guys at the collection agency admitted he used to work for Direct TV and knew of the tactic that was used and didn't agree with how Direct TV did business. I switched to Dish and I like them better anyway other than this issue. So, I can't go back and I guess I'll just have to sit and wait this one out.

The Big12 and PAC merge into the Big20. the big10 contracts into a rotating series against Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado. I have absolutely no desire to have anything to do with any of these teams. Colorado simply sucks with pathetic fans and Oklahoma can keep licking the balls of Texas for all I care since that is what they believe they must do to survive. And, Texas will just keep dragging them around by their pony tails.

Oh...here's a little treat of a tid bit.....it is against the rules at our school for the kids to have food in their lockers. Now, my kids have taken their own lunch and they didn't get a in trouble. But, the rule is still there and technically they could be in trouble. As for the calories....yes, we do have hungry kids after they eat. BUT, to me it is even more than that. We have crappy food and we could offer even HEALTHIER and better tasting food if it weren't for the government regulations.

I just love yellow journalism. Is this same person going to go into a closed door dinner with Dem donors and video tape what Obama says? Do you honestly think that what he says is nice and lovely???? Really??? Now, what he said is harsh and probably could have been worded differently. HOWEVER, I agree with the general point. We have too many people who depend on the government. I am shocked anyone would claim otherwise. AND, I also agree that someone depending on the government is going to vote for who ever guarantees that check to keep coming. Someone said that a large number of these people are retirees. True. But, a big problem we have is the social security system. It is going to go broke. Don't you think that if we take people out of the SS system that don't NEED the check would be a good thing? Yes, I'm talking about rich people who don't NEED the check. We have too many people on the government pay check and the Dems have done a WONDERFUL job of buying all those votes by claiming the Republicans want to take away the pay check. Hmmm....harsh reality, to a certain extent we do unless you really need it. For which, he stated that he is for the safety net for the people who really need it. It's so easy for yellow journalists to make hay out of emotions from people who don't want to give up the pay check from the government.

I am glad he didn't redshirt. Right now he looks like a really good freshman usually does. He runs well but tentative at the same time. With his size and strength, I am overly excited about him running when he finally realizes that he can lay the wood to college players. I would hate to be that safety who has to try to bring him down if he breaks through the line. Also, there are rumblings that we will have Rex and Ameer in the back field at the same time. If we do that a lot, then they will need rest and we have two more on the side lines (Heard, Cross) to give them rest. I DO NOT want him switched to LB. That would be along the lines of switching Stein from Offense to Defense. We would be taking him out of his natural position and putting him in one that he can be good at but not great.

Lyle Bresmer. Bremser was good in his early days. Late in his career, if you were at the stadium listening to him on KFAB, you would wonder if he was watching the same game you were watching. He could not keep the numbers straight, did not know who was coming in the game and who was going out and would often refer to the offense as the defense, etc. Sad that it had to end that way. My favorite Bremserism was, “Man, woman and child, did that put em' in the aisles. Johnny Rogers just tore em' loose from their shoes.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLvv3KPNHfY I must be the only Husker fan that doesn't sit at home watching TV critiquing the announcers. Honestly, 99% of the time I really don't care who they are. I'm watching the game. However, since it is brought up so often, this comment struck me because I have always had a theory that one reason why so many people thought Lyle did a great job was because it was in an era where they couldn't watch the game and listen at the same time. I will guarantee you that he made mistakes on yardage and numbers just like every announcer does now.

As a perfect example of why this country is in a mess, this thread started off with a serious question which faces our future and it took less than 20 posts to delve into nothing more than my guy is better than your guy.

I'm more concerned about our lack of taking away turnovers from the other team than I am on us giving it to them. We are minus two (if my math is right) on the season with only one interception. We have had teams throwing a lot on us and we aren't getting interceptions.

On what legal grounds could this guy be prosecuted? Now, maybe the families of the American victims could sue him personally but I doubt if he has anything worth going after.

I'm guessing the over/under yards for Rex this year will be 720..Unless Martinez goes down. Maybe 6 or 7 carries against Wisc. He'll have more than that against Wisconsin.

Sept 29th is going to be a tough one for them.

One things for sure, our coach came very close to leaving it all on the field on Saturday.

There is a chance that UCLA is going to go undefeated. Obviously USC isn't invincible like everyone thought at the beginning of the season. I don't think Oregon is as good as they have been the last few years. They have a relatively easy schedule until they meet up with USC towards the end of the year. This will give those young players even more time to get experience before they go against USC. If that happens and we take care of business, that loss won't look quite as bad.

OK, here we have a situation where a radical minister with (maximum) 50 followers caused an eruption of violence around an entire region of the world. Heck, the actors in the movie didn't even know what was going to be done with what they did. This literally was the actions of just a few people that 99.999999999% of Americans would never support. In the US we have the freedom of speech. This movie would clearly fall under that freedom no matter how disgusting the intentions and result are. SO....what is the solution? Clearly, these people in the middle east do not have the ability to understand our freedoms in this country and understand that this low life minister's actions are not condoned by the government. I am so sick and tired of having to deal with the middle east.
