Nebraska fans love mediocrity so Callahan's job is safe.

Yeah, the CU/OU game looks more flukeish/past-looking than the Texas/KSU thrashing. You look past, you go in soft, get knocked back on your heels, struggle to recover, and then win/lose a close one. KSU handed it to Texas... 20 points isn't an "oops!" I hope that Texas and OU both did deserve their rankings and that the north is just that strong. Man, that would make me happy. Even if NU ends up having to take some tough games of their own, it would be worth it to be in a strong conference again! I got sick of the Big 12 North jokes on national radio last year!

Yeah, I have to agree the "looking past" excuse could fly for OU, but not Texas. Heck that's quickly becoming the road game I'm least worried about, whoda thunk that. It's definitely looking like the North is going take a step back towards credibility this year.

We could finish 5th.

haha........you funny

 

and baylor COULD win the south too..........right??

 

 

I could see Kansas, Kansas St, Missouri, Colorado all beating NU this year so that woulld make them fifth in the north.

 

Not sure about the Baylor thing though.

 

 

I can also see us winning each of those games. Does almost everyone on here have to be as negative as they can? Our team is 4 and 1. Same as Oklahoma and Texas. How about a little more support for the team you all call yourself a "fan" of.

 

I think your trying to imply that those who have a few negative posts or rants are not real fans?

Yeah, that's pretty much what they do. Every single day.

We could finish 5th.

Yet another personal attack. Calling me "funny" isn't any different than calling me an idiot, but I'm sure this will be overlooked by the mods because they don't like my opinions.

 

You don't have opinions. You have one-line negative comments which are about as useful as your presence on this board.

I'm sorry that you can't handle the true state of the Husker program.

We could finish 5th.

lol @ this thread

LOL @ this sorry azz comment I'm quoting.

 

This is a good topic showing support. Threadkillers can move along.

It's just an opinion Adolph.

You have called a couple of folks Adolph. Are you refering to Hitler?

 

If so this is name calling and a board rule violation.

 

I would prefer you refrain from using that again please.

Very well, but I felt he was encouraging censorship, something that this board doesn't do.

 

Just expressing his opinion. That is encouraged. Name calling is not.

He didn't think my opinion belonged in this thread which is essentially a personal attack on me. So am I to understand that personal attacks are fine as long as no name-calling is involved?

While we're on this subject, am I the only one who has noticed that on the schedule page, right under where it says "2007 Nebraska Cornhuskers Football Schedule", it says "Presented by Huskerbard.com"?

lol

Please re-read my post now.

We could finish 5th.

Yeah, like that % is going to continue. Two of those wins are against non-bcs conference teams and another against the worst team in our division. Have you looked at our remaining schedule?

I think people forget what a 'signature' win does.

 

A 'signature' win is like what Miami did to us in '83 to catapult themselves onto the national scene. But with that, you have to be able to maintain that as well.

 

Does Appy State's win over Michigan count as a 'signature' win, even though they lost to Wofford just a few weeks later?

 

It's fine if you can upset the big boys, but if it doesn't do anything to move your program forward, then it basically means nothing.

 

True....and we still don't have one.

and how long did it take Osborne to get the "Signature Win"

Good freaking gawd, that's a cop-out and you know it. Is that all you apologists can up with anymore?

I agree...I'd rather go 10-2 with no signature win then 7-5 with a signature win

What year are we going to go 10-2?

Rosie is a Pedey yes-man, he's not going anywhere

lol @ this thread

Missouri will be top 20 after this week

 

would that be a signature win? If Texas loses to K-State that game will lose its luster.

No, a signature win would be against one of the teams Pedey promised he was not going to surrender the Big XII to.

I am not sure where this thread belongs but can we get the MODs to add to the rules:

 

*You cannot act like a 7th grade English teacher and go around correcting grammar and spelling if that is the only topic to your post*

 

It's bad enough when some members only insult someone as their post but this is a blog and chat room and errors are expected.

 

According to McMurry (a large marketing and advertising firm in the US) when a person adds comments to a blog the comments are NOT corrected for grammatical or spelling errors. The only editing is done for inflammatory comments. It is not expected for the comments to be done with perfect grammar because of the nature of Internet chat room behaviors and acronyms.

 

I think some of the members who only want to insult others and miss the point of the actual topic at hand.

 

Do I have any supporters of this new rule being added? It's distracting, annoying and insulting to others and I feel it doesn't add value to the board.

Ha, you're referring directly to me. Very subtle.

 

And usually, I don't care about someone's bad grammar on a message board. And in the recent case where I corrected the grammar of an Iowa State troll, it was because he came onto this board with the sole intent to talk trash and annoy us. I'll correct his grammar, just to get in his face.

 

Also, if you would have even READ beyond the grammar corrections I made, you would have seen that I talked more about the upcoming football game than about his grammar mistakes.

 

So shove it.

 

EDIT: Have you ever seen me attack the grammar of a member of this board who contributes positively and intelligently? No.

So it's not a problem as long as they agree with you? Nice double standard.

With that said, some of you reeeeaaaally could use a remedial course in spelling and grammar.

Why the heck would you want to play for a school whose fans will be all over you one week, putting you up on a pedestal, only to be thrown into the depths of heck the next week?

You don't think that happens at other programs?

Your ignorance is what is bringing this program down, bottom line. Do the rest of 'Husker Nation a favor and go root for someone else--you have no idea what it is to be a Nebraska fan, and people like yourself that don't want to see our kids succeed are some of the lowest scum on God's green Earth.

Haha, this has to be my favorite line of the thread. Is this what you sheep are moving onto next since your "Solich ruined the program" excuse isn't going to fly anymore?

Well done sir. Your post is a voice of reason in a dense thicket of hostile barbs. It’s too bad every single thread on this board—and every other Husker board—has to be pulled down by people who still lament the firing of some coach four years ago. That is past history. We need to move forward.

Heh, what's funny is it always seems to be one of you apologist types that brings it up.

I continually give sound opinions (whethere you agree or not) and I use a lot of data to support my idea. Whenever I do that I get personally attacked and I have YET TO SEE anyone give a rebutal to my information. Seemingly they insult me and then disappear from that thread so they don't have to answer.

I know the feeling all too well.

schism = PUD! Pud divided the fans. He's the cause of all of this. He's the one who's put all the pressure on the staff and players to perform because he promised us the FANS great things. He took the bar of expectations sky high when he fired a winning coach and replaced him with this staff. Say what you want about the fans, but they are just asking where all the fruits are that PUD promised!

It goes way beyond expectations. I actually heard the following word come out of a Husker 'fan' after the game sat. "I was hoping they would get blown out so Callahan would get fired". There are people who claim to be fans, who are hoping we lose games. These are not fans. And there is venom like this being spewed all over this board right now. I could have(and have been tempted to) rant in the woodshed, but that is just more of the same. What some supposed 'fans' are doing is not being supportive, it is divisive and destructive. Right now this board looks more like it is an Arkansas board than a husker board. Maybe Callahan is the answer, and maybe not. But hoping that games are lost and attacking the players is not the answer.

Who on this board has said they hope NU loses games? I don't recall anyone here saying that.

IMO, the team and the fans are getting just a little too touchy feely for my liking. If the teams feelings are this tender, then they need to quit playing football and try out for synchronized swimming. I know society has gotten soft, but good grief. I refuse to reward bad play with cheer just like I refuse to reward my 2 year old for bad behavior. This is sickening!

I couldn't agree more.
