The difference being we were Bama' dominant then with classes ranked in the 15-30 while Bama' is Bama' dominant with classes ranked 1-5. We gotta get "some" elite kids. We don't have to have the entire recruiting class made up of elite players. This is what TO did was get "some". Bo has been getting "some". If our wins and losses come down to whether we have consecutive top ten recruiting classes or not, fans are more than likely going to be awfully disappointed. very true, get some "elite kids" and some unheralded guys that maybe their big instate school didn't want and then coach them up to be great college football players.

whatever they decide to do i just hope it continues to work and SHUTS TEAMS DOWN

so you're telling me Osborne had some top ten classes and ranking between 15-30 in the recruiting ranking? i thought all the rosters from the 1990's were made up of walk-ons and 1 star kids, coaching is the most important thing but you got to get some elite kids as well

Why even make a comment you cann't be a husker fan . Welcome a board Gregory you're right how dare i hope he ends up being a great player

hopefully he ends up being better than the last juco d-end we got, Carter has never really made much of an impact

under 9.5

He missed out on the Northwestern game, so I am sure that is why he didn't get one. Bo is probably looking for consistency. maybe but Stanley Jean-Baptiste hasn't started every game either, I'm sure they'll hand out more as the season goes on Bo has usually given them to a couple top reserves and a special teams guy SJB is also top 40 in passes deflected. very nice i did not know that about SJB

no josh mitchell? thought he would get one, i am glad that they didnt hand out too many might make the other young guys like santos and mitchell want to push and play harder to get one and the starters play harder to keep them

i cant believe that just a few years ago Nebraska was killing K-state during that Thursday night game and now they're #2 and Nebraska's at where it is, it makes me very sad

Who are the starters? I can think of a bunch more than just the "starters" that should get them: Steinkuhler Meredith Caveman Ankrah Randle Compton Fisher Santos Evans PJ Smith Stafford Andrew Green SJB Seisay Mitchell Cooper Harvey Jackson That's 17, and you could make a case for Joseph Carter, Chase Rome, and Kevin Williams, and possibly Zaire Anderson even though he is injured. There is not a set 11 players for us that are "starters." It all depends on what package the defense is in, as well as the personnel the other team is using. you're right there are a lot of guys that contribute its just 17 seems like a lot and kinda takes away its importance but what do i know if they play the rest of the season like they played tonight hand out 100 for all i care

i hope he only handed out 11 and not 20 like he has before, just the starters should get them

he's on IR and they drafted a kid out of FAU thats playing real well

if its close at halftime we win, their defense has no deph from what i've heard so i think we can wear them out in the secound half, but if they're up by two scores its over or if they have all the momentum going into the second half its over, i'm going with Michigan but i'd love to be wrong

i think you're right bo will be fired after a 8 win year by a first year AD and then there will be "real" coaches out there willing to take the job

I can't understand the point you are trying to make. So by winning all but one game close, Urban doesn't deserve to be canned? But Bo has won 3+ games by 20+ points, yet he should be canned? I'm confused. It's very complicated isn't it. Here me make simple for you. Bo Pewini in fifh year. Him win 9 good game but he also wose vewy many bad game each season.. Wen Bo team wose, dey have tendency to wose big and wook vewy vewy bad in the pwocess. After five year of dis some fan think maybe team should not wook so bad or get bwown out so badwy. Wike maybe coaches should be able to make pway calls that make sense. Or a defense that doesn't weak wike a sieve when pwaying mobile QB's wike Wilson in Wisconsin, or Bwaxton Miwwer in Ohio ST. or that kid nobody even knows the name of out in UCLA. You know, wike Denawd Wobinson out der in Michigan. So Bo Pewini has estabwished what we call a twend, and twend of wosing to wanked teams. Wosing on big stages, and his teams making wepeated mistakes, the same mistakes ober and ober and ober and ober. Urban Meyer, him only be da coach one year. Not 1,2,3,4,5. SEE me counted to 5! Yay. So Urban, him expectations might be a wittle bit wower at Ohio ST. but see him alweady beating dey expectations....see him is 8-0. That means he him win 8 games but him only wose 0. So dem dey call dat to be underfeatered or something wike dat. So him he be do pwetty good. Him's teams wook fiwed up...dey wook well coached. dem pway very hard for dey coach. Pwus, Urban habing fun on duh sidewines. Pwayers dem wespect him cuz him not fweak out or panic wike he might spank dem widdle bottoms when him get upset. You see......dis be best way of expwaining it to childwen wike yourself. You underwastandeded where some peopow might be come fwom. Maybe just a widdle? Don't talk down to me. Let me make some things clear to you: NUMBAH WON: Ohio State has far superior talent than Nebraska. It was evident in their recruiting classes compared to Pelini's first couple of recruiting classes. That talent difference shouldn't have resulted in a 25 point loss, but it wasn't all down to talent. NUMBAH TOO: It is a well known fact that Urban Meyer is a better coach than Bo Pelini. He has the track record of making programs competitive. Does that mean that Bo should be fired? No. What does Urban have to do with Bo? NUMBAH TREE: Why do we fire Bo? What has he done the warrants firing? 9 wins a year? 10 wins in two? Conference Championship Game appearances two years running? What makes you think that firing Bo will allow us to bring in these big name coaches so many of you think will come here just because "NEBRASKA HAS A COACHING VACANCY!!"? NUMBAH FOUR-UH: There are issues with this team, the consistency and turnovers are frustrating. But there are things going on off the field and on the field that in my mind make up for that. We are graduating football players at an astounding rate. The comebacks against Wisconsin and Northwestern shouldn't have needed to happen, but they did, and that has to demonstrate that the team is behind Bo 100%. What good would it do getting rid of that? NUMBAH FWIVE: You may think 5 years is a long time; it is to me too. But remember that Bo is a first time head coach--it's going to take longer than 5 years to learn all the nuances of being a head coach. I think he is. Let's see how the team develops for the rest of the year. Yesterday was encouraging from a defensive standpoint. Michigan will be a big stepping stone. Let's save this discussion for after that game. But continue to talk to me like I'm a 4 year old. Bro, I'm not an idiot. I just can't understand the point that you're trying to make because it lacks in logic and just common sense. By the way, I'm reporting this. There was no need for you to talk to me like I'm a child just because I disagree with you. this is great please keep going

you know your team has low expectations when the fans applaud a fair catch
