No playoffs. Bowls are cool, and IMHO a great system. With playoffs, every team but one comes out with a loss to end their season. Not really healthy, in my opinion.

But SI's Stewart Mandel suggested having a NC game in addition to the bowls; maybe a championship pitting the best two of the BCS bowl winners, or a 4-team mini-tourney. Not too plausible, but better options, I think, than a full-blown playoffs system.

dont waste your time trying to delete the cookies onyour computer and vote more then once. It wont let you, I tried 4 times and even though I could vote each time, the total number of votes that had been cast did not change.

 

so by deleating the cookies you are deleating the previous vote also.

 

just thought that i would let everyone know so that they did not waste their time also.

No no. Cookies are stored client-side on your computer. The poll results are stored on the server. Unless you remotely hack into the server, deleting cookies isn't going to do anything. My bet is they do it by IP address: one-vote-per-IP.

In other words, if you're on dialup, and you sign off and sign on again...chances are, you'll get another vote. Broadband users are not so lucky here. But surely we have better things to do than listen to a modem dialing online over and over and over?

Well, I hope to god he's not feeling how his mother says he's feeling. I think she may have offended a good deal of Husker nation with those comments - which were understandable, coming from a mother, but shallow nevertheless. "Wrong choice by going to Nebraska, should've stayed in the SEC"? Not something you want to hear out of any player's mother. "Zac is <strong>'OK'</strong>?" Let's get something straight here, Mrs. Beck-Bothwell. Zac Taylor is our savior. Zac Taylor is this team's inspiration. We thank our lucky stars for him and pray for his safety every night. The only way Beck starts a single game this season is if Zac goes down - which is a situation I personally fear more than the apocalypse.

Beck looked like a great guy: good talent and sacrificed his redshirt to deliver us the KSU victory. I thought that showed a lot of good character, but this latest development seems to indicate the opposite. Being a highly touted recruit doesn't mean the coaches owe you anything - after just coming off that shoulder injury, I don't think you can just waltz into training camp and right away shoot up the charts. If Beck is trying to pull another Crouch, he should expect no sympathy from Husker nation, and nor should he expect any good to come out of it. I don't think Callahan is going to track him down and beg him to come back like Solich did.

As far as Ganz goes, I like Ganz. He's a bit of a more mobile QB I believe, hearkening ever so slightly to the glory days of yore, and I've just been getting good impressions. While I always assumed Beck was going to lead this program after The Savior moves on, if that's honestly his attitude I wouldn't be sorry at all to say good-bye to Beck and welcome the Joey Ganz era.

Besides, Ganz is a cooler name to hear announcers call out, IMO. :-P

He is only 18 and being listed at #2 for NU has got to be alot of pressure for someone that young.

Apparently his frustration is being listed at #4. Which I don't completely understand, Beck listed at #4 - but disappearing from camp is sending me chilling vibes and the ghostly echo of "Eric Crouch". I seriously hope this isn't what it looks like, and that he pulls himself together. Because you know, I trust the NU coaching staff and their judgment on their players more than the players themselves, and their mothers. Sure he's important, but the minute he decides his interests and those of the team's conflict, that's bad news for his future. At any school, at any level.

*Ahem* Excuse me for my rant. I'll breathe now.
