  1. To me, there are three answers that are better than the rest. Either 2010 Oklahoma State, 2010 Missouri or 2011 Michigan State. Personally, I'd go with 2010 Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State went 11-2 that year and finished ranked 10th and 13th in the polls. Oklahoma State's only other loss that year was to Oklahoma. Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon may not have been good in the NFL, but they were a dynamite tandem in college football. The Cowboys didn't have a great defense, but like most Big 12 teams, they had a loaded offense. They were even better the next year, so that's probably one reason why I've always been fond of that win.
  2. Decade of Dominance, Reflection of Perfection and No Doubt.
  3. Michigan State in 2015 is the correct answer. But the big-picture correct answer is what Dilly dilly said. The only thing that matters is that Nebraska finally has a head coach that 1: Wants to be there 2: The fans want to be there 3: All the fans agree that they want him there and aren't secretly wishing for a previous coach that was fired
  4. You're fine. It isn't clickbait if it tells you what happened in the headline. Clickbait would be if it said, "Bill Moos made a big mistake at Washington State and you'll never believe what it was". Or something similar to those ads you see at the bottom of websites. A few clickbait titles from the bottom of Athlon Sports: Awkward Olympic Wardrobe Malfunctions You Can't Unsee; The Truth About Danika Patrick and Aaron Rodgers' Relationship; Stars You May Not Know Passed Away; The Disturbing Untold Truth of Aaron Andrews
  5. This quote, from the article not from Landlord, seems very odd to me. Fiscal responsibility in athletics? Nothing about collegiate athletics has ever been fiscally responsible. There's a reason that for decades it could be used as a tax write off. And in terms of "supporting a culture of compliance," as long as they aren't covering up felonies, I don't really care.
  6. Part of me hopes Nebraska never plays Texas again. They just seem cursed when they play the Longhorns. Playing Oklahoma would be fun.
  7. Agreed. I want him for his name alone. Any skills he has are just the cherry on top.
  8. The one that leads Nebraska to the most wins in the fall.
  9. Apparently it was 2006. I remember they had an awful rushing offense in 2005. I kind of remember them saying in the offseason they had to get better and emphasize running the ball. I remember them having a solid run offense in 2006. Zero recollection of the boulder and "pound the rock" though.
  10. Like all of us, I'm a die-hard Nebraska fan. That's why were anonymously posting on a message board explicitly made for Nebraska football. I don't have an eidetic or photographic memory, but I'm in my 30s and I remember a LOT of Nebraska stuff over the past 20-25 years. All this is to say I have absolutely zero memory of recollection of Callahan putting a boulder in and trying to make a tradition out of it. Clearly it didn't work long-term. TL;DR: Me no remember any of this stuff
  11. Also, it appears that Damian Jackson is a defensive lineman on the Red team but a long snapper on the White team. That's interesting.
  12. So, it looks like the Red team is mostly the probable starters then.
  13. Honestly, I don't really care which sport as long as they are playing something else. Wrestling, basketball, track, baseball, or whatever is fine with me.
  14. I don't want to relitigate Martinez's entire career, but his mechanics were much improved his last two years after he started working with that Calhoun guy. They were bad his sophomore year because he was hurt. IIRC, he had a bad ankle on one leg and a bad knee or foot on the other.
  15. I went with Ganz. He's the best passer in the last 20 years at Nebraska. Maybe the best in school history. I am intrigued by the Bobby Newcombe option though. I would like to see what he could have done, healthy knees and all, in an offense like that.
  16. Like someone else mentioned, he was the first Nebraska QB to do it. He was the 15th-20th overall to do it.
  17. I'm not trying to troll here, but the "Frazier got screwed out of the Heisman" take probably isn't accurate. He certainly could have won it. You can make a strong case for it. But people act like it was an injustice on the same level as Paul Hornung winning over Jim Brown. Eddie George had a great year and was a worthy Heisman winner. If you want to say Frazier was more worthy, that's fine. But this isn't the Portland Trail Blazers taking Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan. And I loved Frost as a player, but he wasn't even the best offensive player on his own team. So no, Frost shouldn't have won the Heisman.
  18. Green easily. I know he's one of a handful of Nebraska QBs that started one or more games and never lost. I think Green was 3-0 or 4-0. I know Brook Berringer was undefeated. I think maybe Monte Christo also.
  19. I picked Mike Brown. I feel much less sure of this than any other I've voted on. Both were fan-freaking-tastic.
  20. Which one is the better safety? I guess that probably also makes the winner the best safety in school history.
  21. Another example of how dominant Nebraska was in 1995. 62 tackles led the ENTIRE TEAM. That's crazy.
  22. Obviously all three were plenty good. I'm not going out on a limb saying that Farley had the best talent around him. He played for two years with Wistrom, Tomich and Jason Peter. That's a pair of first round picks and a second rounder in front of him. All that's to say that it's easier to fly around and do whatever you want as a linebacker when you're surrounded by the best players in the country up front. Farley could take more risks because he had other All Americans around to pick up the slack if he guessed wrong. He could abandon an assignment based on a gut instinct with fewer repercussions than David or Williams.
  23. Definitely no wrong vote. I think Williams was the best rusher of the three.
