  1. With a good PR guy he's a hero for not hitting the cat ! He could Tebow his way to the heisman with that!
  2. on the ric roll, I'd come to Lincoln. knock you down and wet your face if I could ID you, not cool. Grow up sonny.
  3. I dont totally disagree, but take it with a grain of salt. Jason Peter is certainly a bit full of himself, and his remenisent view of how great he/they was sometimes conflicts with reality. It's always easy to look back and remember the good things, while forgeting the negative.
  4. I was doing some surfing and came across this site.You can take a interactive virtual tour from various locations.Pretty cool. http://www.redrocksonline.com/pages/visiti...our_middle.html
  5. Just got tickets for my 3 college age sons(and 1 daughter in law) and I to go to a Jethro Tull concert in August at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. It will be the culmination of their Jethro Tull 40th aniversary tour that just began in February, and is in Russia at the present.The tour only plays six venues in the USA, with Red Rocks being the last night of the tour.I was wondering if any other posters on here have attended a show there.I'm familiar with the area, but have never been to the theater/park.Any Tull fans out there? To put things in perspective for you, the first rock concert of many that I ever attended (as a sophmore in highschool) was Jethro Tull in 1973, in Pershing Auditorium in Lincoln.I remember clearly that my ticket back then cost $4.50 to get in.Tickets for the August show are $85.00 each!
  6. Under Kennedy, but overseen by Callahan. Kennedy did as he was told.Callahan micromanaged everything else, I have no reason to believe that he had a hand in the S&C as well.
  7. zoogie, sorry my post wasn't clearer.Cody is a top 5 rated 145 pound high school junior.He is being recruited pretty hard by Manning, and Will has been quoted as saying he is down to Illinois,Missouri, and Nebraska because those three schools have wrestling teams, and are recuiting Cody to one degree or another.The brothers want to end up at the same university.It was reported on another board That the Compton's mom really liked coach manning when he met with them.
  8. Anyone know what weight class Cody is projected for in college? I'm guessing 157 to replace Chris Oliver who is a senior next year. BTW, Nebraska is so fricken tough in wrestling recently.1 senior on the team this year is heavyweight jon May.He'll be replaced next year by redshirt Tucker Lane who is like 22-2 in open tournaments this year. After next year, we lose 125 Paul Donahoe,157 Chris Oliver, 174 Brandon Browne, and 184 Vince Jones to graduation, but there are guys waiting in the wings to replace them. NCAA's are in St. Loius for two years, then in 2010 when the guys like Kenny Jordan, Rowe, Burroughs,Dwyer, and my favorite Husker Craig Brester are seniors, the Huskers are hosting NCAA's at the quest center in Omaha.We'll be better next year, as we will be a year older, and some of the tough weighclasses will clear out due to graduation,but 2010 in Omaha might just be the year the Huskers really challenge for a national title. I hope Cody is a part of it.
  9. I would have loved to get this guy on our wrestling team.Probably a factor in choosing the Hawks, as i know the coaches from Iowa had been discussing it with him.
  10. a year or two from now each of those recruits will have a " oh sh.t" moment where they realize how stupid their decision was.
  11. I want to puke in my mouth every time I see any NFL footage.Haven't watched an NFL game in several years.Rules changes didn't ruin the game, it was guys like Dion Sanders, Terrel Owens, the jerkwit reciever from marshal who I've fortunately forgotten, etc. They make asses of themselves on a regular basis, and the fans tolerate it. The start of it was when john Elway was drafted , but threw a hissy fit, and wouldn't sign.Should have told him to get f...ed, and let him go undrafted.
  12. Just a thought, but if he signed his contract to Nebraska, would the NCAA frown on his coaching the bowl game?
  13. Was at a highschool wrestling meet in Yankton today where several opposing coaches were saying U of Iowa wrestling coaches are in this kids ear.Would he be allowed to multi sport at NU if he wanted to?
  14. Both interception returns for touchdown happened because he was pathetically out of position, and chasing the play!
  15. I haven't said much about this whole deal, and I doubt TR or his family gives a crap what I think,but here goes.....I want him at Nebraska, and I'll be his biggest fan if he comes back on board, and I hope he becomes the valued leader of the future Olines over his career, and a bonafied hero to all young kids in Nebraska,.....and if he's truelly a red blooded Nebraska kid, then that is how it will play out, and he'll get to be a big part of aNational Championship team, sometime during his 4 or 5 year Husker career. If he doesn't , and he ends up at Notre Dame, then I'll think his team sucks, just like I do now, and I honestly hope he never wins a game there, which is unlikely, since they play a pansyass schedule for the most part, I hope the 9 consecutive bowl losses becomes 14 during his days there,and I will want in the worst way for him to look back on it 4 or 5 years from now as the worst decision he ever made, and I hope ol dad regrets his contolling ways as well.
  16. Not serving alcohol at the stadium has little or no effect.It is a personal choice by each individual to be a jackass, or to drink at a level they are capable of handling.The tailgates, etc., provide all the opportunity that is necessary prior to the game, so that each person has already made that choice before entering the gates, and if they choose the low road, it is very simple to take your beverage of choice into the game.
  17. I have to agree with maryland Husker about the Penn State game a couple years back.There were some nice people around before the game, and we enjoyed the pregame partying downtown, but once it appeared they could and probablly would win the game, they basically, across the board, turned into a swarm of a** holes.I was with two teenage daughters, a sister, and a sister in law,and I continually felt a responsability to protect them, and their honor, as we were threatened, and mocked with vulgarity.Now, I didn't see one person who was doing it that I wasn't pretty sure I could have given a beat down, but the problem was there were 90,000 of them, and I'd have gotten tired.We left with a few minutes left, felt glad to be out, and would NEVER go back.Their public apology was from the president, in both the World Herald, and Lincoln paper, but it meant squat to me. On a different subject, Nebraska fans cordial reputation has slipped in the last couple years as well, and some of the things I've heard and seen as recentlly as the Big 12 game in KC lead me to wonder how long we'll be being complimented as great fans.It's too bad people think they have to drink as much as they do to enjoy a game or a roadtrip, because they just get stupid.
  18. What do you suggest? How bout some Rap crap! Hip hop? Seriously,most contemporary music on the radio today is garbage.The thing I'd like to see, is they get rid of the comercials and maketing done on Huskervision.I love the replays, but the number one reason the crowds dont seem as intense as the old days, is because everyone's eyes are glued to the tube instead of the game.
  19. Might be worth a look, but not sure he should take a scholarship.The offensive line assignments aren't easy to learn,especially if you struggle with comprehension...would he be a three for two, or a two for two guy? I never saw him play football,but did watch him wrestle a bunch, and I'd say he has the potential to have a 'Incognito' personality, unless he grew up. While I have wrestling on my mind, you know who just might develop into a great center,is the Taylor Escamilla kid from Bergan.Is he walking on in football, and then wrestling, or is he going to accept wrestling assistance.
  20. Brad Vering, Howells NE population 632 * 3 time Nebraska State wrestling champ (3rd as freshman) * won University Nationals in both Greco Roman, and Freestyle * 2000 NCAA D1 197 pound National Champion * 3 time NCAA All American * 4 time US Nationals Champion in Greco Roman * 4 time US Greco World Team member placed 5th twice at Worlds * 2004 US Olympic team member currently ranked #1 and looking to be the 2008 US representative at Bejing Brad just won the Pan American Championships,here's a link: http://www.themat.com/index.php?page=showa...ArticleID=16699
  21. I think Al Gore invented the internet in the 80's, but he didn't start all the message boards till he had more spare time after the election.
  22. Drowning in a Sea of Red, why are you flying down the freeway in your new car,with your flat tire on fire? Are you in that big of a hurry to get somewhere?
  23. Why are we still talking about 'the other guy'? Why hasn't his name been made public? What about the girl, does she have a name? Be fair.
  24. It sounds like it was a doorman from another bar that had turned him away earlier in the evening, not a frat rat, but I was going by what another poster said (stupid idea), and we really dont know who started the fight.Stupid chick should have stayed out of it, but not surprising that she got in the middle of something between two guys.Mo seems to be seen in bars quite a bit, and should realize that mostly bad things will happen in that situation. If they boot him, or susspend him for part of the season, he'll have noone to blame but himself for putting himself in the situation.I know I wouldn't want to be either of the couple involved. My guess is, they were not just innocent victims of unprovoked confrontation.Too much alchohol all around,I presume.
  25. The deleted word in my last post was a three letter word consisting of the the 6th, 1st, and 7th letters of the alphabet.
