Silent Commit

I wouldn't mind a few more years with four teams. I could see the conferences shifting to align themselves to have teams get into the final four. TCU, for instance, probably would have got in if it weren't for the fact that the B12 doesn't have a conference championship. Notre Dame will always be on the outside looking in unless they get into a conference. I'm just saying that four teams kind of forces teams and conferences to be become more competitive....no team is going to waltz into the final four without having done battle with top quality opponents. Eventually, I think that eight teams would be ideal. However, I would like teams to get into the playoffs by winning conference championships. Screw the polls.

Beck's playing calling scares me. With a bye, I sure hope that he has a decent game plan and is willing to improvise if necessary. Talent-wise, I think Nebraska over Wissy. I sure hope that we're not out-coached, though.

Does anyone seriously think that we should be ranked #11 in the nation? Besides Drew Sharps hard-on for Florida State, I don't disagree that Nebraska should be ranked #15-#20. If we beat Wissy, Minny and Iowa, then I would say "yes", we're top 10; but, until then, we're over-ranked (IMO).

AFter the tOSU game and after reading all the message boards calling for Pellini's head, I thought that the Huskers would collapse like they did in Callahan's last year. I thought that we would be looking for a new coach about this time. Now, no one wants Pellini to leave. Go figure. We're such fickle fans.

I like the notion of the two division winners squaring off. But I think the bolded part would cause all sorts of logistics problems. Probably insurmountable logistics problems. Just slide Wisconsin over to the Legends division. Add Maryland and Rutgers to Leaders. Stop the cross rivalry game with PSU. Done.

Not at all. ND semi-joined the ACC for basketball. ND won't ever join a conference for football. - J

I don't think ND will ever join the B10. They want to remain independent....it's part of their tradition...their alum wouldn't stand for ND to join a conference for football. So, I don't think that there is anything bigger. The B10 wants to expand it's market base....it's as simple as that. I think it sucks, though. I like the way the B10 conferences are set-up and the match-ups. Maryland and Rutgers would screw that up.

That letter is l o n g!! Barker must have been pretty irate to have sent it. I'm sure that Kill is probably an @ss, but aren't the majority of D1 football coaches? Oh well, Gophers loss...he was their best offensive weapon and can go to any D1 school football program and play next year because he is a walk-on.

Nebraska 41 Gophers 13 Gophers are REALLY good at scoring 13 points this year. NU - Rushing 270 NU - Passing 230

There are Blatchford haters? Weird.

so when the defense held UCLA to 3 points in the 2nd half, and the offense couldn't manage anything other than a field goal and giving UCLA 9 extra points in the last 25 minutes of the game...that was still entirely on the defense? I see your point. I was just thinking 30 points in the game wasn't too shabby. It's not like we couldn't move the ball in that game.

Well, you certainly can't attribute our losses this year to the offense. And you can't come back from double-digit deficits like we have this year without a decent offense. I think Beck is doing a stand-up job.

eh... we had a DL that used to do stuff like that Wow. Now THAT is the zone read run to perfection. That play causes D-coordinators to pull their hair out. Yeah, you (DC) have to account for everyone and the guy that's the most important on the play is the one that's unblocked! Not to poo-poo that play....but look at that block that Reeves through down at the 50 yard line. Fortunate that a penalty wasn't called. If a penalty gets called, then we wouldn't be talking about the play.

You'd think that I'd been around enough Husker games to know this by now..... Going to the Southern Miss game next week and have a Parking pass for lot #20. Is that for parking only? Or is do they allow sufficient space to set-up a shelter and grills, like the spots near the bridge? Thanks in advance for information.

I have the BTN on dish. Had to upgrade to 120+ channels plus get their sports package. In all, it's costing me an additional $12 per month. Just curious, what level of service from DirectTV do you need and how much does that level of service cost per month?

Fresno and @ Minnesota....hopefully, another home game, as well.

So, i applied for and received approval for a specialty plate...mostly because I think that the new Nebraska plates are dorky. Anyway, I'm a huge Husker fan but still have loyalty to my native state - Minnesota. My license plate reads "MN GO4S". I was thinking that a bunch of posters on this board have specialty plates, as well. What's yours?

I"m waiting on pins and needles

I love the Coen Brother movies. BEST Fargo - Awesome. One of my all-time favorites. Great dark comedy....Great heroine. Big Lewboski - The dude. Takes life day to day. What a great character. Burn After Reading - In my opinion, the most under-appreciated Coen brothers movie. No Country For Old Men - I was like "what? you're ending it like that?" Then, I realize the genius of the story. Raising Arizona - Some people despise Nicolas Cage films. But this film is definitely one of his best. Holly Hunter is awesome, too, Great comedy. EH The Man Who Wasn't There Blood Simple Barton Fink Miller's Crossing O Brother, Where Art Thou? WORST Simple Man - way too metaphorical. Lady Killers - embarrassingly horrible. The Coen Brothers got too cutesy with this remake, IMO. Can't Wait to see True Grit. Previews look awesome. Big fan of the original.

Huskers 31 Huskies 17 Rushing - 260 Passing - 125

"Bitch slap Dan Beebe"...classic. All that's missing is Dan's sorry mug shot.
