Really???? You can't be serious can you? Did you not watch the last three games? The whole team was upbeat and having fun. The Offense was making plays and giving the D time to rest and adjust. And in making these plays on Offense also gets the D pumped up. And Martinez was hanging receivers out. How many times did we get hit hard because of throwing in coverage or a pass thrown behind or short. These guys know who the best option is for this team to win and its not TM. It's simple, watch how they play. I am 100% serious. And I did watch those games, and no, the team wasn't having any more "fun" with Armstrong out there than with Martinez. The TV people even commented on it in one game, how flat the team was on the sidelines. It's absurd to keep parroting this notion that Armstrong is going to magically make the defense play better. The offense was making plays against crap opponents. We also lost Long in our last game, which has had a massive impact on our O Line. And this nonsense about Martinez hanging receivers out - did you not watch the Purdue game? We lost Burtch to injury on a poorly-thrown ball, and Armstrong was all over the place, mostly missing high and making our WRs go up in coverage to try to pull the balls down. I get that some people have a bug up their ass about Martinez, but these arguments are baseless. Just say you don't like the guy and be done with it. Wow ! Tommy is a Freshman and has one bad game! TM is a Sr. and this has been happening for 4 years. The kid can run, but he can not throw. You and Bo need to take off the blinders.

He seen a fluid offense without him and needed to get back to play! It has always been about TM. Remember this was Bo's big recruit. Both Tommy & Ron would have played better!

Lou Holtz isn't any kind of authority I'd be quoting to make my point. And if you think the defense would have played better if Tommy Armstrong was out there, you need to double-check which side of the ball he plays on. Really???? You can't be serious can you?

You are wrong, twice we went 3 and out and the defense had less than a minute to rest. Minnesota is a physical team. The offense needs to give them a break and Martinez was awful throwing the ball today!

I still believe that Martinez has a choice of options that he calls at the line. The coaches call in the play, but the QB has options!

Every year for the last 4 years its the same type of posts. After a while somehing has to change and nothing has!

The way we played, I question if the team respects Martinez. 3 sacks until today! You realize Martinez played weeks 1, 2, and 3 right? And we played like crap! But you're talking about respect and the fact that we had only allowed 3 sacks up to this point. Do you think that it may be due to a different reason (I don't know, Spencer Long was also on the field for those games) than the team not respecting Taylor? Have you ever played the game? This is like HS when you are playing on team where the QB plays because of his dad. Its tough to get up when the best players are not on the field! Do I have to play the game to understand that the sacks allowed could be due to a different reason than the QB? That's such a bullsh*t response. Spencer Long, our ALL AMERICAN offensive guard wasn't playing, and they got pressure EXACTLY where Spencer Long would have been playing. Yes, it hurt not to have Long, but this was MN. A lot of time he held the ball way to long! Even Lou Hotlz said NE looked better with Amstrong! We simply quit!

Dirk has back way off, he has no balls!

He is not the only one. We also have 2 Sr. on defense who should not be starting!

The way we played, I question if the team respects Martinez. 3 sacks until today! You can credit all those to moundy. Dude blows. In Moudy's defense, they asked him to block Minnesota's best D-lineman 1-on-1, and that's just stupid football. You don't put your newest guy on their best guy and not give him some help. Agreed! Plus, Martinez held the ball too long at times and missed wide open receivers all day.

I'd say Brown. If he weren't so committed to his ministry he'd have climbed the coaching ladder long ago. The ability to lead a team is there. NOT! Brown is a recruiter, not a coach.

Martinez is an average QB, with a low IQ for the game!

But remember who the QB is for last 4 years. Than you can throw in Ankra & Randall, neither can tackle. If Bo wants to live with these starters than he might die with them.

I'm not sure if it's Beck or Martinez. I believe the first 10 to 15 plays are scripted. After that Martinez gets a code from the side lines and he calls the play at the line. The problem is that he is not smart enough to blow his own nose let alone lead the Huskers.

Agreed! He is a headcase when the games are tight.

I remember thinking that people were over-reacting because Bob D. was so good. I figured NU would never be that good again, and we should just be happy to have TO, because NU was always in the top 20, sometimes in the top 10, and almost never got blown out by any team not named Oklahoma. Then Washington blew out NU 2 years in a row and i wanted TO fired. I looked up blowout losses for TO just to remind myself. I used a point differential greater than 14 to define a blow out. It looks like Bo has suffered many more embarrassing losses than TO. Year Score Opponent 1973 27-0 Oklahoma 1975 35-10 Oklahoma 1977 38-7 Oklahoma 1978 30-3 Oklahoma 1985 27-7 Oklahoma 1988 23-3 Miami 1989 41-17 Florida St. 1990 45-10 Oklahoma 1991 36-21 Washington 1991 22-0 Miami 1992 29-14 Washington 1996 19-0 Arizona St. Can not compare, as TO took over for Bob D. and Bo had to rebuild what Frankie & Calihan tore down! It is easy to recruit when you are the team. These kids were not even thinking of football when we were good. They got to watch the Huskers under 2 bad coaches.

Miles said from the begninning that he was going after 2 big men for this recruiting class.

Agreed, he looks faster than 4.5.

The kid is playing a lot of ball and had to retake the tests. A lot is on his shoulders, he needs to buckle down and get his grades in order. I believe he is close and is waiting for his last test results. His priority appears to be basketball & not academics. I do not know if that is a good combinations. But I do believe he is the type player that could move our program to the next level.

Losing is one thing, but it's another to flush it down the toilet. Walking 3 batters is unacceptable. You learn to throw strikes in little league.

Only 2 first team, 1 second team & 3 3rd team. Of which, 3 were underclassman and no pitchers! # 7 goes to Peters, who got the sportsman award.

Biggs will not start at first, because he will be on suspension. I see Gallegos & Shields improving on last year. Gallegos, Shields, Pitchford, Rivers or Petteway, Webster or Biggs. Then we also have Smith, Parker & Fuller, so we could see a lot of combinations. I see Hawkins & maybe Parker or Vucetic red shirting. Regardless, we will have more debt than last season.
