It is sad that you are right about that. he is not right, but you got the sad part right. no wonder there is the myth of columbia with stupid comments like that I know the comment is made as a joke (I hope). I once had a bad road experience in Columbia, MO, but I don't let one experience form my opinions. I am actually headed to Columbia/Rocheport this weekend with friends to ride the Katy trail. I'm sure if we don't bring up conference expansion talk and be obnoxious we'll have a great time. Any suggestions for places to eat/drink in Columbia? We are going to hit up Les Bourgeois and then head into town...

It is sad that you are right about that.

Quick story: Last night I played Hardcore HQ on Rust, using a UMP with silencer. Predator Missle Harrier Chopper Gunner Unlocked all three, layed down behind the tanker in one corner right after my team capped the headquarters. This is when things got crazy as I racked up 40+ kills with the Chopper Gunner. Since the map is small, the spawn points are limited and they kept spawning in one corner. The kills in the bottom left of my screen just kept scrolling continuously as I kept the Chopper aimed on this corner. I ended up with 50+ kills for this one life and total ratio was 97 kills to 34 deaths. I was really hoping to break 100 kills... I know the spawn killing was cheap, but I couldn't resist!

I think it is more of the academic/research limitations of UNL than athletics that will keep the Big 10 from calling. I'm not sure if this is valid, just what I hear when this topic is discussed.

I've been a member for awhile and haven't posted for probably over a year (work full-time, working on my Masters degree full-time) or more. Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who post noteworthy content that keeps me entertained and up to speed. Having lived in KC for 4 1/2 years (born in Nebraska, UNL grad) now I need my Husker fix to drown out the Mizzou/KU/KSU rubbish I hear on the local sports talk. Hope the visit goes well tonight and that Owa and his family decide to be the newest addition to the Husker family!

As a Husker alumnus and fan, you are the type of kid that this program needs. I'm proud to see that the University of Nebraska has re-established the walk-on program to recruit players such as yourself. Work hard and enjoy your time at Nebraska.

I know there are quite a few people that play NCAA 2008 on here. Could anyone lend me a hand in determining the default roster for the Huskers? They screwed up so many positions/names/home towns that it is difficult who each player is supposed to be. If someone could list the real names for players by position or # as the game has it on the default rosters I would appreciate it VERY much!!!!!

Hopefully Sammy shows up against USC next year better than he did in 2005. Ouch! I think he'll be a strong quarterback and it is true that our running game will help him out with opening up receivers. Personally, I like his fiery attitude as long as he keeps it constructive. Hopefully through his involvement with the program last year he has grasped what it is to play for Nebraska. That we love fiery players, but not players that run their mouth in the media or bring negative attention if we lose (such as blaming other players or coaches) In any case, I'm excited to see what he can do!

there was a knock at the door. Vermeil went to answer and it was none other than Trent Green who apparently missed his ole ball coach. "Hey Coach, I'm here for the gang bang." ("Old School" reference) "Wow Trent, despite what it looks like it's not that kind of party!" Vermeil exclaimed. "You must have thought..."

Or was the thread murdered prematurely?? (leaving an opening for a sequel)

supposedly ran off to Florida which explains his previous absence from the team. When questioned, his mother not wanting to give away the whereabouts of the plutoniom freeze dried nuts, came up with an elaborate story involving Taylor. This led to... ......speculation that Harrison and his mom were actually secret lovers. Which then subsiquently led to suspition that Harrison was involved with Jim Tressel and the Sweater-vest Gang in a ring of Tostitos Chips smuggling. Harrison tried to deny but......... then, sadly, one of the best threads on here in awhile died. The End.

Anyone else concerned that he decided to throw out there that: "I'm wasted in taxi's" Hopefully he isn't a taxi driver, otherwise I guess it's just pretty normal. Better to be wasted in taxi's than wasted in Cavaliers travelling 420 mph.

...I realized they had ceremoniously been removed by Harrison Beck's mother. She had them freeze dried and made into earings for her son. When Harrison put them on... his ears began to glow with a strange green pulsating light. "Holy crap, not again!" he exclamed. Turns out...

Pollution?? I'm sure they have more than their share of that...

still don't realize that doing your sister is "socially inappropriate", but they vow to never give up the practice. So I decided to get the hell out of there and...

process of natural selection wins again...

We run a pretty complicated offensive for a college level program. I've got the drift that he wouldn't ace the Wonderlic or anything. However, when you've got talent (which he definitely) has, the coaches will have to find a way to work with him. Even if it takes simplifying some routes and putting more reliance on his abilities (game winning catch against Texas A&M. The coaches picked an isolation play and put the ball up for him to go after it. It was a simple jump ball play). As they say gameplanning goes a long way, but it comes done to players making the big plays. This year, he was that guy and hopefully next year (whether it be the young guys or other receivers stepping up their game) their be multiple options for Keller to go to.

My favorite Taylor move when he took of to run was the half-spin. He'd turn halfway around and then run a couple yards backwards before going down. Every time I about crapped my pants because I was just waiting for a linebacker to nail him in the back. Thankfully that didn't happen.

...and I can't wait. Hopefully the Cally haters will wash back into the storm drains. Cally has frustrated me with some of his calls and decision, but that will happen with every coach everywhere. My prediction is that Purify has over 1,000 receiving yards next year. Keller passes for over 3,500 yards. With a stronger line and more threats at wide receiver, we look down field for some big plays.

I nominate this website for the "Creator of the most ridiculous sports conversations" award.

I really wasn't too surprised watching OSU beat Alabama. OSU doesn't have the tradition Alabama does, but it is in the process of building up it's program with a lot of energy and recruiting. Savage is a hell of a runner and seems to consistently find a way to get an extra 3-4 yards. Reid is a dual threat QB that is a pretty solid decision maker. However, last night there was a stretch where he threw a couple of picks that almost cost them the game. I was impressed with how they hung in there for the win. OSU is a better team than most people realize and it most should be able to see there is a change going on down there with a young coach. I'd compare them to Texas Tech when they were on the rise? Nebraska simply got complacent like they did in more than one game this year after gaining a solid lead. Nebraska vs. Auburn is a completely different matchup in my mind. There are some simliarities (both bama and Auburn have a LOT of speed on defense), but the matchup just has a completely different feel.

So now that I've finally won, what do I get?

Oh security guards...always good for a laugh.
