I didn't realize that it would be so hard for people to admit that Prince and KSU may actually be an above average team. But you're probably right. An 8-win season is probably due to luck, opponents emotionally letting go, UFO's abducting the head coach and West Nile virus infecting half of the conference. Has nothing to do with good coaching and using the players efficiently and effectively. Also have to agree with whoever said (Eric The Red?) that Stoops should have more votes. .3%? I'd say he's done quite a good job with a QB getting cut, replacing him with a QB that you just moved to WR last year because he couldn't cut it, and a top 3 Heisman candidate getting knocked out. Granted, he started with a pretty good roster to start the season.

So it was the Longhorn offense that gave up 40+ points? Wow!

Yes, an amazing finish to the game. Wish I hadn't been so frustrated by most of the 3rd and 4th quarter that I drank a few shares worth of Anheiser Busch!!! "Zac Taylor took over with 1:50 left in the game, and drove the ball down the field like John Elway." C'mon....it was a great drive, but let's not get TOOOO crazy with our comparisons here.

Yeah there is no comparison. In 2004 the Blackshirts had a bunch of sacks and forced turnovers!!!

actually, they're 7-4 ...AND AFTER SATURDAY (THEY PLAY KANSAS), AN 8-4 RECORD AND 2ND IN THE NORTH.

Like I've said before...if they want to win one game it's this one. Rarely do you hear players/coaches admit, yep, the season's over and we sucked, but we've been gearing up for this. They are firing on all cylinders...even if it is only an inline 4. We better be ready to play. However I'm sure this will be followed with comments like "We are going to smear the Buffa-pukes all over Memorial Stadium" and score predictions of "92 to -17".

NU - 41 CU - 20 Rushing - 247 Passing - 247 Oh yeah....CU will kick a 62 yard field goal too.

May I quote Eric The Red's Sig??? "Kansas State. The school scores high on pride and passion. But pride and passion only can take a program so far. Money has been poured in to improve horrid facilities, but how much better can they get in Manhattan? K-State is what it is: a school located in the middle of nowhere with limited resources, a miniscule talent base and little history." -SI ...And after Saturday, an 8-4 record and 2nd in the North.

Here, here. Not only are they ranked, but a few of the bowl 'projections' I saw had Wake, Rutgers and BSU in BCS games. It's PROOF like this that gets me so riled up when oblivious Husker 'faithful' think we are going to walk all over any team. The title of the movie "Any Given Sunday" could be more appropriate for Saturdays?!?!

I must have missed where McCoy is listed on the depth chart at DE, LB or CB. If that is the case, then he must be a HUGE part of the Texas D to give up 3 touchdowns in 4 minutes.

Sorry, take the red blinders off. Prince has done some unreal stuff there with where that program was at when Snyder left. It's not like he had Chad May or Michael Bishop under center or Darren Sproles taking the handoffs. The cupboard was pretty bare. Hasn't he played something like 13 freshman this year and is now starting 5 including an 18 year old quarterback? Prince definitely gets the nod.

That mentality still cracks me up. People who think like this are completely naive. Of course we should be concerned. If Colorado wins one game in a season who do they want to beat more than anyone else? Baylor? Give me a break, if we come to play with anything less than an A game (OK, maybe an A- game) we can be beat......especially if we keep up our 3rd quarter trend. Throw out the 3 blowout wins against LaTech, Nicholls State and Troy (that leaves USC and conference games).....and NU HAS A TOTAL OF 7 POINTS IN ALL OF THE 3RD QUARTERS COMBINED! Wake up...

From the Big XII website: PLEASE NOTE: The South Team will be the home team and will occupy the bench area on the press box (South) side of Arrowhead Stadium. The North Team will be the visiting team and will be opposite of the press box.

Like I was saying about the basketball thing.... Dunkin' Mo

Gotta love shameless plugs!!!

On pushing off: That is like complaining about a hold. It happens (hand fighting, a little nudge) on every single play. It just matters on how hard it is and who gets caught first. Did he give a little nudge? Yep. Is it expected? Yep. Is a ref going to call that ticky-tack s#!t on that big of a play to decide a game? Nope....not if he doesn't want the national spotlight. In that instance, you let the players play the game. The A&M defender could have put up a lot bigger fight than that. Hell, he should've tackled him before the ball even got there. How many yards would he have: How about looking towards next year? I could see him putting up 1,000 yards and 12 TD's if Keller is as good as everyone says (as we hope). Especially since ALL of the receivers will be back. Won't be able to just focus on him defensively.

So do you think Doc Sadler is trying to work out a deal with Callahan for the basketball season? They could use that height/ability. Of course they could use a lot of things...

I hope it was an english class that you missed the game for. (Sorry - had to rib a little) Yes...I'm an :asshat

I thought Andre Jones played pretty good for having 2 broken ankles suffered on the out 'n up he got smoked on. Of course the athletic trainers had a quick fix, all they had to do was wrap his injuries up in his jock that was laying next to him. I don't know if I've let out such a groan as I did when they replayed that move, close up, in slow motion.

Yes, I do believe what I said. Mike Rozier??? I made a point...this is a NATIONALLY televised game. Who would THE COUNTRY rather hear from - a young up and coming dual threat QB who was the MVP of last year's Nat. Championship game or a RB who played 25 years ago? The coverage map covered 80% of the country....about 10% know or care who Rozier is. I'm so sick of the conspiracy theory against Nebraska, players, coaches and fans. And comments like yours prove it.

I didn't mean to send 8. Of course we'd get smoked. My point was that they kept giving looks like we were sending the dogs and hardly ever did. Hell, if we sent Octavien, we'd drop Carriker in coverage. We never had a strong pass rush all game.

Sure if you can find the game transcripts where they said he made a great play by getting sacked I'll agree with your point. I must have watched a different game where they 1- did a segment on B-Jax family (and he scores on a higlight play on que - by the way ABC, good job of cutting to his family in the middle of his run?!?!) 2- Talked about the tradition and amazing facilities at Nebraska. Maybe there weren't a ton of major celebrity status former huskers at the game? Nationally people know about and pay attention to V. Young. I'm guessing 1/2 of the audience didn't know or care about Mike Rozier.

Send 8 in the box, then drop in coverage. Bring a corner in and have him drop into coverage. Move around the interior line, then just battle with the o-line. Good thing is Cosgrove had that shuffle pass dominated when they tried to run it!!! Looks like they still had a little KSU gameplan in their bag of tricks.

I am convinced that the majority of people posting on here think that everyone in the media is an idiot, moron or ass if they talk or hype any team other than Nebraska and any player other than one of our stars. Over the past couple of days you were all complaining that the media pumps the Big 10, Notre Dame and other players. Now they focus on Colt McCoy (who I believe is not going to be, but is one of the best QB's in the conference - He's a Freshman and stood in there with poise that I know most other QB's would have had happy feet) and yet you complain again. I work in marketing and PR, so I'll start working on a press release to ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, the NCAA, AP and your grandma that they are not allowed to say anything positive about any other team or player because it upsets Husker Nation. And yes, I know I'll get bashed and ridiculed for my posts like this, but again that's because you are all too 'die hard' to realize the crap that comes out of your own keyboard.

I was up tossing and turning from 5:15 to 8am. I made myself stay in bed because I thought it was a little ridiculous I was that anxious. Just like Christmas morning when you know you have to make yourself stay in your room because your Mom and Dad don't want to get up yet. I hope Santa leaves us a good present....
