  1. Filled out the rest of the bracket just for kicks. The @FauxPelini selection committee did an excellent job with the bracket seeding as the final four ended up with Hoodies, Youngstown OH, Process, and Yelling in the final 4. Process and Yelling advanced to the championship game, shown live tonight on BTN.
  2. Abdullah will probably be the #1 if healthy starting the season. But I'm hoping to see more sharing carries with him and Cross next fall. Seems to Ron Brown has a habit of keeping riding on his top guy til he wears him out. We rode Rex too hard in '11, and Ameer too much last year, and both were beat down by the end of those years. Spreading the wear and tear on more bodies throughout the year would make good sense.
  3. I guess I'm a believer, probably even a Bo-leiver. Maybe because I don't think like many here that consistantly winning "only" 9 or 10 games is a failure. Somewhere earlier in this thread someone said "I understand there will be ups and downs", well, newsflash, in most places those "downs" are losing seasons, not 4 loss seasons.
  4. FIFY i was hoping someone would take the bait, cuz I had the after practice photo que'd up and ready. Oh well.
  5. Yea, thread title got me too. I was hoping we had replaced the Boofaloes with a SEC non conf game.
  6. Convincing a high school recruit to follow you is one thing (and not uncommon), convincing an enrolled, current player to transfer is quite another. Sow a few seeds of dis-satisfaction in the kids head, then when you take a new job, "Hey young man, these guys aren't givin you the playing time you deserve, come on down to Kentucky and I'll get you on the field." Marrow Sr is a piece of work.
  7. "I'm gonna make the defense wear this sh!t if they don't start practicing like they have a set of b@lls"
  8. +1, I can't imagine they would even consider doing the Game of the Century anniversary without throwback uniforms.
  9. Well I mostly indended the knock to be on Pederson and on the BCS. But speaking of Perlman, he is the guy responsible for bringing in Pederson, so he owns a big piece of the Callahan debacle. Just having seen him in his press conferences, announcing Pederson, when Solich got axed, then when he had to turn around and fire Pederson, my completely subjective impression of him is that I think the guy is a tool. Not to mention how the cost of attending UNL has gone from expensive to ridiculous during his tenure. My opinion of him wasn't changed after talking to an acquaintance who does have the opportunity to have an informed opinion.
  10. I can see Pelini now wearing a red feather boa on the sideline to add color.
  11. eating a cinnamon frosted untoasted as I write this.
  12. When our kids first got cell phones we instructed them to not erase their text history, so that if we wanted to, we could see what was going on. Our instruction was, if you don't want your Mom to see it, then don't text it. We could at any time, and did, ask to see their phone and check the history. I think this taught our kids to think before posting anything electronic. We didn't check often, but ocasionally we did. Is that hovering, I don't think so. it was more of a suprise inspection. Also required passwords to their facebook page, and occasionally checked it, just to make sure it stayed appropriate. Funny thing was, we know another mom who is somewhat of a helicopter, and she would "alert" us of nearly everything status change or post on our kids facebook. She hovered over her kids, PLUS everyones elses. So I'm somewhere in the middle. Parents who do not let their kids do anything themselves (years ago you should have seen the pine derby cars that 8 year old scouts "made themselves") are hurting the kids. On the other end, parents who don't keep a close eye on their kids aren't doing their job either. I think both types, the helicopter and the distant free range parent, are afraid of the same thing, their kid might feel bad cause they didn't get what they wanted. edited per the term in gobiggergoredder's post
