  1. This! I may be in a not so great mood after Nebraska games these days, but at least we are in them until the end. And against some of the highest ranked teams in the country at that! I’m not sitting there watching a team give up because they’re being blown out. I see a team that is ready to turn the corner, and I can hold on.
  2. Yeah, I’ll probably watch the replay after it’s over so I can limit the amount of time I spend watching the pain.
  3. Can’t we just get BEYOND thunder dome?
  4. This. And I want that identity to include a dual threat QB. To me this is more important than wins to a certain extent. I just don’t enjoy the current offense, successful or not it’s no fun to watch.
  5. I live 5 minutes from In-N-Out, used to like it quite a bit. My kids LOVE it, and I've had it way too much. I'd kill for a Swiss cheese and mushroom Runza! But let's get real, as good as In-N-Out may be, it's still a burger and you can get those anywhere. Not so with a Runza.
  6. I grew up in Nebraska. My dad and my gradpas were big fans, and I was too when I was really little. As I grew up I wasn’t into sports, and I didn’t pay attention. I remember in January of ’94, it must’ve been, I was working as a telemarketer around the time of the NC game and someone on the phone asked me where I was. I said, “Nebraska” and the reply was “oh man, you guys got ripped off!” The next year I was living abroad as an exchange student. I had a teacher who was from Nebraska, but hadn’t been home in like 20 years. I was kept informed about what was going on with Tommie and Brook until I started following the team myself as much as I could. It was exciting, we were winning every week and it was a connection to home. When we finally played for the NC that year it was broadcast live on armed forces radio and I listened intently to a game for the first time. I was so hooked after we won that it wasn’t even funny. In the middle of the night I happened to turn on the TV and found the game being broadcast, and I watched what was left of it, getting to see the plays for the first time. I haven’t missed a game since.
  7. I'm not seeing the assertion that NU should know its place in the article that was linked. Seems fairly positive to me.
  8. +1. He is clearly a man who is willing to contemplate possible mistakes and consider other points of view. A compassionate man who won't dodge tough questions to keep up a reputation. I'm impressed with him, sad for the woman involved regardless what happened.
  9. I think you see this within our own fan base. Older fans were Bo-leavers. Younger fans who weren't around for the glory days were the Bo-lievers. I don't find this to be true. I remember the 90s well, as I was about 18 when we were winning those championships. From conversations I've had, older fans (like my dad's generation) are concerned about stability in the coaching staff and what might happen if we fire another coach. Personally I wanted Bo to be the guy to make it work. I wanted to give him every chance. I know some were done last year (or even earlier), but I wanted to give him 1 more year to make it work at the end of last year. After Wisconsin this year I was ready to move on. He got the 1 year that I thought he should and couldn't do it. I'm satisfied that he was given every opportunity. I don't think that puts me in either the lievers or leavers category.
  10. That's a great point! The cleaning lady has probably been around since the Callahan era. We need to fire her and have a national search for a new cleaning lady. Maybe one from a pro team. Who are the top candidates?
  11. I setup ESPN3 remote access last year, and from my memory you have to confirm it from your home computer before you can log on remotely. I had to call someone at home to log on and set it up.
  12. Why not treat the coaching positions just like every position on the field? We need some depth at offensive coordinator, then we can have competition for the spot, and whoever is coaching best gets to start that game Okay, it's a little ridiculous, but Bo is always talking about competition and making players work for their positions, but when it comes to coaches it's all about loyalty.
  13. with the help of a post over at macrumors I found a free app called fstream. It can play asx files, you just need to manually enter the link. I tried getting the linK for KKAR and putting it in there. It attempts to connect and buffers up to about 80% but then just sits there. I would try Huskers.com, but the link won't be up until tomorrow. If anyone tries this and has luck getting Husked Radio let me know how you did it.
  14. I'm going to be away from my computer all day tomorrow, but will have my iphone in hand and I was wondering if anyone has found a way to listen to the Husker games on the iphone. I have 2 streaming radio apps for it (AOL Radio and Flycast), but I have yet to find a stream that looks like it might carry Husker radio. The phone doesn't support flash so I can't get anything from Huskers.com. Oh, also, I'm in California with no hope of tuning in a radio station that carries the game either. If push comes to shove I might have to drag along a laptop and tether it to my iphone to listen, but would rather avoid that. Thanks guys. -Joel
  15. Runza casserole dude, it's REALLY close to the real thing! Though I change it up and do swiss cheese/mushroom runza casserole. Enjoy!
  16. I still contend that it isn't about winning perse, it's about playing like you want to win. I remember reading articles about how certain losses felt like wins (because the Huskers played their best) and certain wins felt like losses in previous Callahan seasons. It's not about winning, it's about how you play the game, and when the game is played like we expect they're going to win most of the time.
  17. This is what Billy C could not do. It's also what I like to refer to as "coaching".
  18. Better to just go out and play without a coach than hire Callahan, unless you tell him that when you find a real coach he will just be the OC.
  19. You mean Chuck Pelini, Chuck Norris is his screen name
  20. Bo said he was going to ask TO what he thought about him coaching in the NC game if it came to that. I'm sure he's not doing it without TO's blessing (though I didn't read that article). We all know TO, and I'm sure he's thinking about the players, not only the NU players but also the LSU players, that's just the kind of guy he is.
  21. The rumors had been around but I'm really glad to see this confirmed! Welcome back coach!
