This has gone to a point of ridiculousness. Kenny does not have a poor attitude. He is just seeing things from the inside and being judged by people that can't relate. He doesn't like as many night games because he is excited for the game and wants to play it now. He doesn't care about how drunk (or whatever you do) you want to get before the game. His experiences as a player have nothing to do with your experiences as a fan and vice versa. Proclaiming how a great rep of Nebraska has a "pi$$ poor attitude" is just silly. For the record I don't get drunk or drink, I actually like to just watch football. (I know what a foreign concept) Saying he has a piss poor attitude was probably the wrong thing to say but, he needs to learn to pick his battles and not make mountains out of molehills.

Kenny Bell is a guy I really want to like because he's a pretty good player but, he has such a pi$$ poor attitude. All we can hope is that it's all big practical joke for him.

It's refreshing to see Dirk write something like this but, the minute any controversy hits he'll be stirring the turd again. Which is fine, you're always going to have a Dirk and you're always going to have a Sipple. No articles by either guy should be taken as gospel and the best thing to do is read what both guys have to say and form your own opinion.

No because he wins championships.

I agree with that and I want to be clear that I don't want either of those scenarios to play out. I just wanted to bring it up for conversation sake since the general consensus of the board is that a Big 10 Championship would cure a lot and every time somebody brings up another coach acting like a jack a$$ they get the "But coach X actually wins championships" response.

So we can say everybody moves the goalposts whether you're a believer or a boleaver.

So if Nebraska wins the Big 10 Championship then gets beat in the Rose Bowl to the tune of 48-17 are we going to be right back here because Nebraska should be more prepared to play in the Rose Bowl with the resources here? Or if he lashes out at the fans and media in the press conference with an "I told you so" attitude does he get a pass since he won a championship, or is that still going to be unacceptable as coach of Nebraska?

I googled just the teams in the Big Ten and SEC and 20 out of 28 teams have an OC/QB coach combination. Mizzou and Texas A&M have assistant coaches in charge of QB's, Minn and Penn State have passing game coordinators coach QB's, Michigan State has their recruiting coordinator coach QB's, South Carolina and Vandy have coaches fully focused on QB's, and Rutgers does not have a coach listed in charge or QB's. A different sample yields similar results. Of the teams that finished in the BCS Top 25, three had dedicated QB coaches (FSU, MSU, South Carolina), Missouri's QB coach also held the Associate HC title which effectively brings the total to 4. Twenty had OC/Co-OCs coaching QBs, and one, Stanford, had one coach dividing time between QB, WR and RC duties. So, in other words, having a dedicated quarterback coach really doesn't seem to have any kind of direct variation on quarterback play at all. No it just doesn't make a difference at other schools but, with the top notch facilities and millions of resources at Nebraska it would change everything.

So which is it? Is Cross just used in short yardage situations or do the coaches try to use him like Ameer? Both claims have been made in this thread.

Adjustments!!!!!!

No I want to continue complaining about the lack of carries by Newby and Cross. It's a double edged sword, depth is a good thing at any position but, you'll always have to take a risk of guys transferring for playing time or other reasons.

It helps to finish reading the sentence.

I loved when they called Armstrong Mason for 2 or 3 straight plays.

We just beat a January bowl game against an SEC team. No need to discredit anything, it was a great game and Neb. won.

Looks like 1-4 with 1 point after today. You would think one of these years I wouldn't pick so many upsets.

I realize it's Ohio and ECU, but that would suck playing in an empty building like that.

Only got 1 right on Saturday, ouch. I hope the fighting Frankies don't let me down today.

Looks like robsker knew what was up.

I'd like to know how many times he was called for a false start in his career. He improved and was a lot better this year, but I still remember him getting called for a false start multiple times this year.

Personally I wouldn't want an established DC like Monte Kiffin running the offense.
