Jim Rose on Herian's TD: "Poetic justice." Some ppl on this forum predicted Herian would get the first score too...indeed, it's really fitting.

1st-10, NEB45  K. WIlson rushed up the middle for 3 yard gain

Yahoo! Sports is really not on the ball today.

HERIAN TOUCHDOWN.

Yahoo! Sports:

  1st-10, LT22  P. Jackson rushed to the left for 19 yard gain

  1st-10, LT41  P. Jackson rushed to the left for 44 yard gain

???

Gosh. We're going risky.

Todd Peterson's at WR. I smell touchdown to Todd Peterson soon.

Yeah, really.

But whoo! Fumble recovery.

KENNY WILSON! HA!

Zac Champion is going to have a long day getting sacked. And sacked, and sacked, and sacked.

Jim Rose just said Barry Turner was out on the field, before the delay-of-game penalty. Also said we rotated another DT in, missed the name, think it was Suh though...did anyone catch that?

Lucky!

Yeah, that. I'd much rather play against Snead in October than Colt McCoy, who's doing better than I would have hoped.

Colt McCoy is looking pretty good. They should totally start Snead!

On the other hand, Michigan is inexplicably struggling against Vanderbilt.

He is a gifted writer.

 

And a Jackass,

 

Saturday, Sept. 4th.

No writer is gifted who has to use swears by the bushel to get his point across.

Still, there's something to be said about coming back from 21-7 and winning by 10. That USC team deserves credit for sheer resiliency. If we put up a 3-touchdown lead on them, I wouldn't feel secure unless we were halfway into the fourth quarter.

I've learned better anyways. We've blown leads before. OU in 2000, and Mike Moschetti...oh, that was an awful second half.

THANK YOU! I was definitely freaking out over that one.

So the lineup is now 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex WR/RB, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF - looks good. I think with the flex position, 12 should be fine, maybe one more bench spot at the most...I mean, if you get into too many rounds, we'll get into drafting No.4 WRs and 3rd-string running backs, which are often pointless.

Thanks again

Thanks Blackshirt! That should be okay for me.

One last question (don't mean to be a nag, but...) before I prepare my draft order...do my eyes deceive me, or is that "start 2 QB" and not "carry 2 QB"? O_O Never seen that before, so just want to make sure.

Hey. Stewart Mandel's NCAA 07 predicted us to go to the Title game.

Yeah, just make sure you adjust your pre-draft rankings to suite your taste.

A calm day at the park offers pleasant escape for local denizens.

I'll take

Tue or Wed, 10-1

Thur 10-1

Mon 1

If you could do a random draw before the draft, that would be nice. It would help us prepare accordingly, instead of readjusting 30 minutes beforehand...

If we could pick draft spots (assuming there are no disputes) that would be nice too...maybe too nice though, so I won't push it.

Aim9, What time zone are you talking about? I would be glad to do it at noon EST. 3 EST may be a little bit of trouble depending on how long it takes. If Friday's okay, let's get a quick consensus on available times.

For clarification, I'd prefer any time slot from 9EST (way too early for west coasters, I know) to 2 EST. 3EST is okay, but iffy.

(EDIT) I checked your user profile and it says your location is in Omaha, Nebraska, which is Central Time. Noon central time would be 1EST, which would also be perfect for me. So to ask others in the league - how does 12 Central/1East/11 Mountain/10Pacific sound for a draft time?

(Second Edit) I read the first post again and it looks like you can't arbitrarily change the time - is that right? So it's either noon pacific or Sept. 8th?

Also, just to clarify again - how many rounds is this? I'm preparing for this as if it were a 12-rounder, which is what I assume given the position requirements.

I'd say it was all Kenny Wilson's amazing talent if he juked everyone out of their socks and took it to the endzone, but that's not exactly what happened. He had two, three guys holding on to him, and he just barreled on and they just fell off.

Now, as much as we'd like to believe it so, Kenny Wilson is not The Hulk. What happened just doesn't seem natural. By all rights, he should've been brought down.

While it's promising to see this from one of our RBs, it also was sloppy defending on the part of our defense - at least for that play. If our defense played like that during games, I'd be very scared. Luckily, I don't think that'll be the case. As others have said, it was a scrimmage, and these things happen during scrimmages.

Jim Rose's play-by-play is very entertaining, however

Nebraska 37

LA Tech 17

Rush - 168

Pass - 219

Alright, cool. I just signed up as Southern Cornucopia...just a random name I made long ago and stuck with.

Just a question - what are "husker bucks"? Unfamiliar with the term. It's a free league, right?

Also, currently listed draft time is Friday at 3 Eastern...noon huskertime would be 2 eastern, no? If not, any chance we can move it to 2?
