Art Vandelay

I was a lurker for over a yr and decided I wanted N the fray. 2much fun to stand on the sidelines. Im art vandelay, and Im only gay in December. (for Jesus you weirdos)

i spit cereal on my keybrd. thx alot.

interesting as you come on this site for the xpress purpose of calling our fans classless, then conveniently alter the caption of this picture of your funboys. here is what it really says: "and check their watches" - nice try mr wizard. what does that say if your own paper is calling your own fans out for taunting a bunch of old guys. wow real toughguys. how very FRAT of them. mustve been in b/t petting i mean hazing sessions. heres the link for the record: http://www2.kusports.com/photos/galleries/...ka_110505/7724/ and if our diehard fans "were leaving early" - what does that say for those 4 chucklefcks that look like they had been standing on that sidewalk for the last 4 yrs waiting to H3CKLE HUSK3R FAN1!! WEEEE. suck. and always will. in closing,

a guy walking with a bluetooth headset in one ear and his phone in the other, while looking at a PDA. am I the only one that sees dumb sh#t like this???????

I agree completely with you, in theory. But unforutnately gameplans in large part are established before the game, based on a teams previous game film, what are their tendencies etc. MY theory is that KU did a better job concealing their hand in their prior games, and Cos g-planned expecting a soft KU team that barely beat SoFla, isnted of the talented team they truly are. Yes coaches do make adjustments in game, but most of the time that results in a back peddaling bend-dont-break effect, which IMO is how the D looked all night. My final theory & thesis: We were more outcoached last night than outlpayed. We will see in future Big 12 games the true potiential of our front 7 - do not write them off yet - they very well may live up to the hype. I look for improved scheming in the ISU game, and a much more "inspired" performance from the. probalby hold the cyc's to 14-20 pts. If not, then I agree our front 7 is overrated. Why in the hell when we either lose a game or all but lose a game, do you guys continually give credit to how good the opponent is/was? KU is not a good football team. KU was decent last year, but they graduated a lot of players. KU is maybe a top 50 team in D1. KU lost to Toledo who again might be a top 50 team. We got out played and we got outcoached nonetheless at home of all places. I guess getting our tail kicked between our legs at home disappoints me more than anything. If we're all going to have moral victories, then we have to concede Saturdays game as a moral loss. We have 2 ranked opponents left on the schedule. My guess is looking at Mizzou's schedule that they won't be ranked when we play them. So, this leaves us with just one ranked team left to play. We'd better take care of business or we won't have to worry about the Big 12 North. This week, we play ISU. If and that's a big IF at this point our defense shows up, the game should be handled easily. If they choose to play like they did against KU, then be prepared for another WAC game with possibly the last team to have the ball winning. It's not like we're playing Notre Dame's schedule. I would like to see the games we should take care of taken care of and a dogfight in the games we're supposed to lose possibly winning one of them. Btw, does anyone still think USC is really that good? Their high flying offense put 28 against us, 20 against non-ranked Arizona, and 28 points up against non-ranked Washington State. Arizona is 2-3 and Wash. State who only lost by 6 to USC is 3-2. IMO, our 28-10 loss to them isn't going to look all that impressive from a Husker standpoint by the end of the season unless USC's offense pulls their head out of their ass. No way right now do they deserve to get into the championship game. If Ohio State, Auburn, and USC end up undefeated and Auburn gets dicked again; then we really need a playoff. I've always been on the fence of a playoff, but this BCS thing doesn't work. When the BCS was implemented, there was never supposed to be a Co NC. Well, we've already seen it happen once. USC is not playing championship caliber football right now. I think you miscontrued, JR. I am more giving credit to the preparation of the KU coaches not their players, and our coaches lackof --- who seemingly gameplanned for a IAA team. not to take anytning away from the KU plyaers, though, b/c I dont think youre giving them enough credit. Many analysts have agreed that while KU has lost expereince, they have far better athletes than they have EVER had at KU. and the proof is in the big red pudding. they proved against SoFla and Toldeo they are capable of making young mistakes (most commonly overlooking opponents)and also showed they are capable of running with teams that should blow them out of the water, on paper. athletes will do that for you. My prediction is that KU will win a big game this yr noone expects them to, then go lose to Kstate or someone like that.

More breaking news just in: You should put your underwear on before your pants. *not a crack on you Frisco, you bring up goodpoints. just old skyblue Howie.

Does anyone know when the Coach Cally show is televised in Omaha?

I agree completely with you, in theory.

Is your background in architecture? No, Im a Marine biologist. Why in the heck would he save anything or hold anything back against ku? If you watched the game they were taking what they wanted on offense...and ended up taking the lead. It makes no sense to think we held back schemes and what not in this game as close as it was. No...we just played like girls. Not much more to say about it than to grow a pair and gear up for next week. So you truly dont think teams do this? What do you think KU was doing vs. S Florida last wknd? happens more than you would think. The fact (I just made up) is our staff overlooked KU, and thought we could get away with using a "short playbook". then the big lead actually became counterproductive, b/c it caused us to continue to drop haymakers (to run up the score & get redemption from last yr), which is a more risky offense than one which includes managing the gameclock. Boxers that know they will be in for a dogfight dont swing from their heels all night - they jab, cover, move around, wear their opponent down and make calculated roundhouses - we did nothing but throw punches like those kids in Jr high in their first fight, swinging wildly with 1 eye open and the other one squinty, while back peddaling. ALL. GAME. LONG. Fact #2 I just made up: we shouldve played like a team that wanted a 20 point win, instead of a 50 point win. net result, 7 point win and shattered confidence.

The thing is that good teams MAKE teams look like they "just had a terrible game". KU was the better team last night, and may be all around. we will see at years end. the crowd essentially won that game, and if the earth was flat and folded in half and Lawrence & Lincoln were swapped out keeping everything else equal, the score woulda been smilar to last year. Im afraid to admit.

I still think it's relevant, so here it is. After watching the game last night, with an AIR IT OUT offense, going for the deep ball, instead of grinding it out and dictating the pace of the game & clocking out - you saw what happned against a KU caliber team. We jumped up big, but the gamplan allowd a team to get right back in it with a few mistakes by us, and the result was we seemd to be digging ourselves out of a Hussein-hole all night, and needed to rely on the Pujols ball to save our, well, Pujols... which couldve easily not been there. So i ask those who h8d on the SC plan, what do you think wouldve happned in SoooCal if we woulda ran the same plan we ran vs. KU? oh and I'll also take your thoughts on abortion, global polictics, & Jesus v. Xenu in a bareknuckle match, if you have a few...

Would like to hear what some of the real football experts think about this. I dont have a deep background in football X'ing & O'ing, I'll admit that. But what I saw Saturday seemed to me like a poor gameplan by our Defensive coaches. We seemd to be on our heels all night, and KU "took what they wanted". we look flat confused and did not throw them off their plan all night. Could we have been "saving" some special stunts & schemes for our bigger Big 12 games?? Or does KU just have THAT much superior atheltes? I'd like to think this was KUs biggest game, and ours is yet to come, sooo. What do you guys think?

On another note, I have a friend who is astudent at KU, and there has been reports that his contract actually includes stipulations that he gets his weight under control,b/c they feel it presents a bad image for the University.

Not sure why I read that. Taking cheap shots at peoples size, looks or whatever shows real class. This was no cheap shot, sir. Ignoring major health risks and being too embarrassed to acknowledge someones problems, or even making eye contact with them b/c you are too uncomfortable for them, is the classless and even gutless move. Sounds to me like you may have more of an issue with confrontation than anything. Does the guy know he has a problem? of course, and people on this board are not the first to point it out - we know that. Mangino deals with it everyday, and Im sure he is plenty embarrassed - getting comments & looks everyday of his life. but guess what, somtimes you get motivation from even your biggest critics & enemies. Hopefully someone somwhre can spark something in him to take action, b/c as mel pointed out he is playing Cheesburger Roulette w/his life - and its not fair at all to his family & friends.

Just keep in mind Eric the Red is a dyed to the wool Yank, and sounds like he grew up in that area. Ive been reading this board for about a year now and he seems like a fun dude overall, so dont take his rantings personally b/c you are making some good points. The storm troopers were equally as brainwashed by Vader, so remember the weak ones have little or no control over their thoughts.
