I am not discounting your opinion or determining your worth based on the time you have been here. I know you have added a lot of good perspective to the posts on this board. Please do not twist or stretch my words to fit your motive. I thought what I wrote was clear. My apologies if it offended anyone. Peace-OUT! AM

Seriously newbs, get over yourselves. Most of the sigs were designed by some talented people on this board. They either offered to create something or took request. You know, the beginning of football season brings on excitement and it's a unique way to show it. Some people, not all, that have joined since October seem to complain about anything. Now you know about the controls & what you can do about it. Instead of asking the board to adhere to your personal wants, you can do something different so that you can adjust. Season is over. I'll remove my Swift sig if that helps some. But that's all.

That's awesome BRI!! Congrats!!

That was Awesome!

Okay, I see how all you haters are!!! Well we will just see about that since I'm the only logical one to pick the Cowboys. Heck, I'm prolly the only bright one! But I will say that I do like the Pack, and if by some crazy chance that the Cowboys do not make it to the Super Bowl, I hope the Packers do. Gotta love Favre. I'm happy for them this year. They are legit. Cowboys 37 Packers 25 Note: the way to score on Dallas is to look for S-Roy Williams and throw it his way. Dude could never cover. Romo, TO, Whitten, Marian The Barbarian, etc, with DeMarcus Ware & Co. on defense (minus Horse Collar Roy Williams)

Texas Tech and Hawaii run it. Houston Cougars used to do it with David Klinger and Andre Ware. The thing is, really good defenses can beat it. They get to the QB and can match up with speed. The good defenses (notch lower) can prepare against it, and can beat it as well, but not all the time. Then factor in the weather changes in November which makes it more difficult to grip the ball. And then finally what was said in previous post about not being able to run out some clock, and defenses being on the field a lot. You score a lot, you give up a lot too.

editing.. Didnt see the bottom punchline.

i get the sick feeling Turner and Pelini were the only 2 guys who really showed any interest.....if true that is a sad statement about Husker football, very sad. i would really like to know how many guys showed interest in the interview process.....then again, maybe i wouldn't want to know the truth either. It's none of my business, but yah me too. I would like to know who the candidates were that have been reached out to. And if anybody called Osborne (or admin) to let him know he was interested. It's not need to know, but it's good to know.

Bro, do you think this decision (new coach) may be rushed prematurely? Would it be so bad to wait two more weeks if that meant interviewing three or four more candidates? I'm just wondering...

I've read some funny things on this board, but that my friend is hilarious!! I may have to incorporate that into my signature if you dont mind.

X , you make intelligent points and a lot of people here wouldn't argue, because we understand this. We want what's best, and whoever is named HC will certainly be the best that we can get per Osborne. And hopefully the new HC will be supported and welcomed. Going off of records speak for themselves, Chris Petersen is 22-2. He beat OU when they had Adrian Petersen on the national stage. He won Bear Bryant Coach of the year. He produces with the talent they have. Teams around the country are not lining up to play these guys in non-conference b/c they are tough and they win. Although I personally think the visiting teams spend the entire first half adjusting their pupils on the blue turf, I still think he is the best "up-and-coming" coach out there. But that's my view.

Husker love is in the house

Well, as much as people think it will be Bo or TG, lets look at what Dr. Tom has talked about what he has said is important to him: Experience Gill - Already a coach. Has 2 years OTJ training. Any mistakes have already been made and learned elsewhere. Pelini - has none. It's day one for him. Learning on the job. Character Gill - is a man of integrity and character. Pelini - has a record of some misbehaving in his past. Has been on good behavior lately. Walk On Program and instate recruiting Gill - understands the importance first hand. You dont have to explain this to him. Pelini - I'm sure he would agree just to agree, but no more than Callahan. Excellence, Tradition, Winning, and Competing on the field Gill - no doubt understand this Pelini - no doubt understand this X factor - who has it? Gill - A former player? A close friend of Osborne? A dozen years spent with the program? Dream job? Pelini - Fires up a defense like a cigar. A good motivator. Gets his team emotional hyper/ready. But what happens when emotion cools off? Can he manage everything about a program? If moderately successfull, is this a 5 year stint or longer?

Looks like the house is divided. Not a good sign.

Yah brotha, I just want some peace in the house. I'm not a fan by any means, but if it turns out that way I have to bite my lip and roll with it. I may have to duck out for a week or two while the Bogasms file in.

Uh, no! Buffalo isn't exactly Nebraska. Do you begin to understand that? Listen bud, you are correct that Buffalo isnt Nebraska. But that's all. Because you missed the point.

Thank you. I seriously think a lot of people do not grasp that yet. My opinion above was assuming Gill as the HC, "what type of offense would he run" and not as "the OC".

Turner Gill is not going to leave the highest job you can get in college football (Head Coach), to be an assistant to a Head coach. It's not gonna happen. It's his program. He is the man in charge. He is turning it around. No one would do that. Still have no idea why this doesnt make sense to some people. If anything, Gill can offer Pelini a job at Buffalo. Today. Right now. He really can. Does that help some to understand?

I'm fine with it - if it's TG. Whoever - TO is checking it out very closely. He doesnt want to make a mistake or have regrets. He will be happy with his decision. So will I. Even if it's Pelini. (biting my lip)

Makes perfect sense to me.

Oh SNAP! I think my work / network settings & java are keeping me from getting in. Gonna mess with it.

If we do not win a NC during the new guys tenure after 10 years, I would not be so upset or fire happy. As long as this happens: 9-2, 10-1, 8-3, year after year and build up the program with integrity, toughness, character, and intimidation for any team that schedules NU. Bring in some pride. A ton of it. And get back in the top 10 each year and owning the Big 12 before ever thinking championship. 7-4 is too close to 6-5. If that happens, then I will get concerned. I want a football team with tough gutsy football players. Not a product or a system. Or smoke in mirrors. Any loss needs to be close and competitive. I want the Huskers and the coach to tip their helmets to the other team, give them praise, and then say "we'll get 'em next year", then work at it, and then do it.

I usually do not find myself bothered from what writers report. I dont get peaved from TV broadcasters or analyst. Only one guy keeps me from reading anything he writes. And it's this joker.

By 2014, the Big 12 will have added Arkansas and Iowa, and expand into an internal playoff system with two teams making the wild card game. With regular season, wild cards, and conference championships, the season will be 14 games long. Meanwhile the Big Ten will not sit well when having to reduce their conference from 11 to 10 teams. Figuring it's too confusing (since 10 means 10), they will release Northwestern to the Independents. Fortunately, the Big 10 will still be completing their season no later than Nov 17th, satisfying their own perogative for making BCS games. Aside from jokes, I like having a conference championship.
