As long as he not drawing up plays in the powdered Gatorade I do not care.

Ok...I'm going to pick on you but don't take it personally. I hear this a lot. Why the hell should it take the backup behind you to push you harder? How about being motivated to go kick the other teams ass? Especially one that is supposed to be a lot less talented than you. The starters should be the leaders on the team showing the guys behind them how brutally hard you have to work to be successful and if you can't keep up then you are going to get your ass whooped in practice and look silly. In a perfect world you would be absolutely correct. However, it's not that way in the world we live in. Competition breeds effort. I'm sure the kids play hard. But if they know there is someone there that the coach will replace them with if they don't hustle they will play a lot harder. That's been my experience while working the sideline anyway.

If we're voting for AD's I'll vote for Barry Alvarez. MR would probably promote Banker to the HC job.

I am left wondering about the o-line. If there is no chance that the starters will be coming off the field during the game, what exactly is pushing them to perform at the top of their abilities? I'll buy that the starters are the best players available. I find it hard to believe that their backups couldn't play harder and get better results. I hope that makes sense. My brain to keyboard translator doesn't always synch.

"Dude, really? WTF?" Pretty much covers it all...

This is my yellow lab Dudley. He's got it pretty rough.

Is this stuff gonna be on the test?

Maybe the second string falls over like dominos...that's all I got...Lol, iirc the first string did that last year. #cottonflop

I don't know that I have been a huge Riley fan. His hiring, quite frankly, puzzled me. I decided to give him a fair chance to prove his worth. I'd support him while he made the program his own. I understand folks calling for his head. The product he is putting on the field is terrible. I don't support his firing, but I'd support what ever the University decided. I wonder though if he is let go this year, or even next year, how can the administration tell a prospective coach that there will be patience in allowing him to come in and get this program to the championship level? And what coach would believe it, given the track record of the University?

Bueller..... Buehler......

Well, this thread is moot.

Had enough Ryker Fife yet?

WE GET BETTER & BETTER

DPE - he has to be due, plus the Doo has issues with their coverage teams. Freedom Akuma.. Akinmul... AK... Nate Gerry

There was a reason Osborne didn't offer Barry Sanders a scholarship...it just turned out it wasn't a very good one...Key me rephrase that then: Fyfe is the backup because Tommy Armstrong is a better QB/Athlete/Runner/Passer/Decision maker. I'm just wondering how you know this.Watch the game, you'll understand how I know it.

I haven't had a Glurs burger in 4 years....

There is a reason Fyfe is the back up.

Only those who know what a fraud Alberts really is.

http://www.huskermax.com/games/1992/09iowastate.html That Iowa State game was one of the wonkiest games in NU history. NU just couldn't do much all day, and Iowa State hung around and ended up winning. Marv Seiler (ISU QB) had 144 yards rushing, but that was aided by one long run. Frazier didn't have a bad game statistically, but he wasn't supposed to be the leader of that offense as a true freshman. Derek Brown and Calvin Jones didn't do much all day, and the Blackshirts couldn't get ISU off the field. That was the very first away game that I ever bought tickets to. My brother and I were driving up as a snow storm hit the area. Our plans changed when I blew a frost plug in my wife's Ford Taurus. We spent the day in some grease monkeys shop in the muddle of nowhere while he repaired it.

My weekend revolves around Nebraska football. Rain or shine. Win or lose. Good or bad. Like it should be.

Who told you this? The aquarium guy. You believe everything you hear?Coach Denney came out and said it. The next day after it happened. Trev can f himself. You think the wrestling program was leaking money? Do your research. It completely self sustained itself. Cut football by all means but the damn wrestling program was not needed to be cut. Yeah, what he said.

I don't think that team had been forgotten. Many consider that team to be the team that turned the corner and made Nebraska a legitimate national title contender. Having Tommie step into the starting role after the first few games gave us all a glimpse of just how good he could be. I remember my wife's cousin telling me that, "there's something special about that kid. He's gonna win us a couple of titles."
