Gus Johnson is awful! I rather put the game on mute than listen to him. He always tries to make it more dramatic and over the top than it needs to be. The worst is listening to him during the NCAA tournament.

Kirk Herbstreit, Mike Mayock, Joe Buck

Im 30 years old and Ive been to 15+ division 1 college football games in several different states. To name a few Memorial Stadium, Big House, Horseshoe, UofI, Purdue, Wisconsin, Lville....the experience at all of those games was awesome compared to the experience I endured in Madison. Didnt mean to go off and offend everyone and take away from the original intent of the post but more or less just illustrating my discontent for their fanbase. Sorry if I made it personal to the Wisconsin poster. Those of you who werent there dont know what the hell you are talking about. GBR!

Any news on how bad his injury was?

I couldnt agree more EZ-E! The only thing better than beating you on Saturday is if we beat you again in Indy in December!

I think everyone is being a little too nice. After I personally was a witness to how we were treated in Madison last year, I hope you lose by 40 and have a long miserable ride back home! I never had a problem with Wisky before that game but I will always remember how classless of a fan base you are! Although you will enjoy the atmosphere, the history, the tradition and the class of the Husker faithful! We are and always will be the REAL BIG RED! You win a couple conferense championchips and thing that your a perenial power...couldnt be further from the truth! Good luck but not really! GBR!

I can give a damn less about the shoes as long as we win! Although Im anxious to see them! Im sure all the recruits are as well!

I think Bo and Co. are going to dial up the pressure early and often for Whisky's two QBs. The blackshirts need to get in their face, hit them and make them feel very uncomfortable. Also playing at Nebraska on Saturday night in primetime is a whole lot tougher than Corvalis at 11 in the morning! GBR!!

I think the chances are better than you think. I would hand him a list of the 2 deeps for offensive tackle, have him do the tunnel walk, with the new unis and under the lights in primetime....you never know!!

This guy is the numero uno on our recruiting board! I would imagine he would start from day one at Nebraska where if he were to go to LSU or USC he would have to work hard to even see the field as a freshman because of their depth. Not saying he couldnt because I think he is that talented but it would be much more difficult! Of course I want him in but I might cry if he goes to Michigan:(

Why were bull*****ing.....How about Pete Carroll when he gets fired from the Seahawks!

Do you guys really think Steinkuhler at 6-6 can play the nose! I don't! He's gonna get double teamed and if he dosent stay fairly low he's gonna look like he's on skates! I love him as an end as he could set the edge but as a nose guard I think he's way to tall! The ideal NG is 6-1 310. I don't think we have one of those...

This thread is rediclious! It's week 2. Take a breath and relax! You can become mad again if we finish 11-1 and tht loss against UCLA cost us shot at NC. Otherwise I would assume most of you thought a Big-10 title and a BCS game was the goal of the season... Rose or better! Everything is still on the table for the year! It was disappointing but in the grand scheme of the season everyting is still very obtainable! Cmon Blackshirts let's go! GBR!

Im not sure we have the greatest personnel to run this right now but we might in the following years! It should be a much more attacking style defense with LBs blitzing rather than trying to cover superior athletes! Horray Beer! If it were me I would bring Stafford down in the box from time to time as well! Not sure what it will look like but it could be something similar to this... DE-Merideth NG- Randle/Rome DE- Steinkuhler OLB- Ankrah/Santos OLB-Martin/Fisher ILB-Whaley ILB-Compton

Its not the X's and O's but the Jimmys and Joe's! We need some talent on the D-Line and in a hurry! I believe Mathis and Toby Johnson could be a step in the right direction. Our d-line looks awful!!

here is the scary version....we start 5 seniors in the front 7! how are we suppose to expect this defense to be better in the future when players within the system for their entire college football career get embarrased by an Oline full of freshman! get rid of the 2 gap! and you wonder why its so hard to recruit 4-5 star defensive players...

probably dont deserve to be in the top 25.

how about the athletic department free up some extra cash and go get some coaches in the SEC that can coach defense and recruit some players as well! OUR SENIOR LEAD FRONT 7 GOT DOGWALKED BY A WHOLE BUNCH OF 18 YEAR OLDS

our defense couldnt stop a fu**ing nosebleed!!

I had a teamate in High School sprain his MCL and its typically a a 2-3 week injury. Although Burkhead was walking a whole lot better than what I remember from my former teammate. I would expect Burkhead to be out this week a few touches next week against Ark St and a few more against Idaho St but he will be starting against Wisconsin. I thing the goal is to get him 100% healthy for the start of conferense play. We have some nice depth its at running back anyway....no need to roll the dice against 1AA teams in the next couple weeks.

maybe the better question is after this arrest they may pull his scholly and possibly ask someone else? Hopefully not Jonathon Cook......

48-17 Skers. GBR!!!

Yep to get cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse you need an 18 for most state schools. Maybe its changed since 2000 but that what it used to be....

I don't know why UCLA fans are so excited...they gave 25+pts and 300+yards to one of the 10 worst college football teams on a yearly basis! Meanwhile Nebraska looked fairly impressive on offense and defensively looked rusty as they had about 15 missed tackles and finished with 260 total yards given up. As long as the Skers stick to the script I think they cod win impressively!

Disagree. Were in week 2 with Ark. St and Wyoming next. Patience Grasshopper. Give a coupe weeks for the front 7 to get comfortable and then you can consider putting our DBs on an island. GBR!!!
