HUSKER 37

Yeah, f??in' NFL coach has us 6-1 and has restrained the weapons that could beat Texas not once, but twice and put us in a very favorable position for a post season bowl. Damn I hate those NFL flunkies. Yeah..Me too...But at least they're more likely to put the game of Football in proper perspective..Took me ~45 years to figgure that out. A Proper coach would have us 7-0 right now.. But Seriously...I think we've seen the last of undefeated seasons at UNL. I hope our backups got some serious playing time at least.

Yeah.. My guess is Cally will call another Vanilla offense and try to beat them later in the Conference Championship game. Fu??in' NFL coaches

Probably mostly traveling Husker fans

Hey AZ.. Do you know if they're still broadcastin' the games out here? I didn't see the az.central newspaper (usually where I find the radio listings) and nothing online. This internet feed is too sporadic + I'd like to get some stuff done in my Garage and listen to it on the Radio.

Dang..Lost my feed for the last 10 min... Passing: Freeman (KSU) 220 yds ??? Rushing: Jackson (NEB) 104 yds

I wonder if ESPNU will show this game..I was finally able to see NU/ISU game today (Taped it WED morning)

I respect you very much for having restaint. Your a better person than me. No... I just hate to have us represented as a jilted whiny lover. We're better than that (at least in my scarlet colored glasses)...We can't get everyone we want. "You can't always get a Chihuahua" -M.Jagger

MUST!! KEEP!!! repeating to myself... "Nebraska has the Classiest fans in the world". Please try to Get over Freeman going to KSU and don't take it so personally. Sounds like he's in a good situation...I Wish we had him on our team, but he just went for what he thought was a better Coach/situation. GBR!!!

What are the facilities like? Seems like I'd heard the stadium (Cotton Bowl) was in pretty bad shape awhile back..One of the reasons they weren't included in the BCS bowl party... You'd think any NFL city with a new stadium could make a case for hosting one of these...Heck..With the improvements at Memorial...Nahh

So why have TWO BCS bowl games in the same stadium (a week apart)? Rather than include another stadium/City in the BCS Bowl picture..say like the Cotton Bowl or something? Seems like it would be more better to spread the wealth, or use this as an opportunity to help out an area trying to recover from a Hurricane or a 9/11 kind of situation. There's going to be 3 Bowl games here in the Valley in a 10 day span..I'm not complaining, 'specially if the Huskers make it out here...but seems like the rich are getting a lot richer... Maybe they plan on easing in to the "Plus One" format to placate the "Playoff Mongers".

My question is about the BCS championship game, played here on Jan. 08...a week after the Fiesta Bowl. Near as I can figure out, all you need to do is make sure you finnish in the top 4, win your Bowl game, and then, the BCS Championship game. No easy task.. Anybody else able to find out how they're picking the final two? If this was the case last year (BCS Championship game after the bowls) I'm afraid we would've just had Texas going against USC in a rematch of the Rose Bowl played the week before...(1vs.2)

Yeah..That's easier to say when you limit your experiences. For the most part, I have been impressed with this board..Great place to get other Huskers' opinions and maybe get "the Lowdown" on why the coach used a particular "Gameplan"..Or NOT use ANY. Still...It's great to spread the Husker gospel to all those unfortunate fans of other teams...'Specially when they come back with statements about how much Class Husker fans usually have, or how they will occaisionally let it slip that we had the greatest team they ever saw ('95 Fiesta). Just visiting your own team's board reminds me of that scene from "Blazing Saddles" where "The GUV" (Mel Brooks) Makes a proposal, and 20 guys repeatedly answer in "Harumph" or something like that..Then he says to Harvey Korman?, "HEY..I didn't get a 'Harumph' outa you!". How many times can you read, "GBR"? Glad I saw the revised ratings based on Graduation Rates thread...My Wife is an Ohio State Grad and needed to be taken down a notch.

Latest "Farewell tour" from the Rock? band KISS..."'Lite' in the Loafers"

Sooo...What's incorrect about it??? Other than it sounds way too much like country music? (At least it's not Rap) Hopefully, God has a sense of humor Nice pictures, though.. Is that a local band?

I saw that hit again on youtube.com a week or two ago..I'll see if I can find it again.

Ok..TWO years...Actually I wasn't calling the SEC a "One Team" Conference...I was just wanting to know who Blue thought the "One Team" in my conference was (This Year)...I'm assuming the B-12 was included in his list of "One Conference teams. So..Let's see..accd to the list from your link above... (B-12) was a "4 team" conference, although 5 other teams were rated during the season. (B-11) was a "3 team" conference, although 6 other teams were rated during the season. (P-10) was a "4 team" conference, although 3 other teams were rated during the season. (sec) was a "6 team" conference, although 2 other teams were rated during the season. Now, I'm not sure how much stock I put into these ratings, but there's not as much difference between number 5 through 35..Any ONE of them could knock each other off at any given time. The days of the "1 team" conference are probably over..Shoot even when we had probably our "BEST Team"..Our two closest games came against conference teams...Probably true of ALL of our MNC teams. no one in your conference has been worth a sh#t yet to know which team it is. might be Texas, might be OK. B12 is going ofer the bowl season this year. _________________ -- Go Gators! Back to top HUSKER 37 Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!

Texas went 10-1 every year and went to a major bowl, their only loss being to OU. OU has a down year, Texas goes undefeated. _________________ Numbers wrote: Syn, you are an unbelievable human being.

I think I see your points, but just because there's parity in your conference, does that make your conference better than the others? I'd imagine the MAC has the best parity across the board. There's much more parity in almost all conferences. (Even divisions, aparently). How else do you explain Colorado being winless including loosing to a div.11 Montanna State, and then two weeks later, outplaying one of the SEC's better teams for 3 3/4 of the game? (I didn't even know Montanna had colleges) I wouldn't put it past them (CU) to beat Nebraska at the end of the season. I also wouldn't be surprised if Texas looses to aTm at the end of the season. There's so much luck involved in these games, the best team doesn't nessecarily always win. (Why a playoff system would be almost pointless). Not to rehash ancient history, but the '95 season, If I remember right, you guys finnished 2nd (correct me if I'm wrong) even though all of our conference games were much closer in score than our Fiesta Bowl game. Does that mean, the Gators should've been ranked lower than our Conference opponents? No.. Because you guys had a better overall year than any of the other teams we played..And more likely than not, would beat most of them in a head to head battle. We played one of our best games of the season that night, and you guys probably played one of your worst. Last season, everybody was saying that USC had the best team in history. They were then beaten by the Shorthorns (thank gawd)... Why then, wasn't Texas considered the best team of all time? _________________ "Now this end is called the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35bZ75QlRX8 Don't watch the last 20 seconds...

The depth of a conference makes a HUGE difference....playing a tougher schedule adds lots of wear and tear to your players. Playing substandard teams when you're good (for example Texas) allows the great players to rest. Vince young plays in the SEC last year, chances are he gets hurt. Does Texas beat USC without him?

I don't agree..Unless there's a coaching change, teams at this level don't drop off that drastically or that fast...They just reload, and recruit to better themselves against conference foes...Maybe why we both feel conference teams are much tougher than OOC teams. ((Conference teams are concentrating their recruiting to compete against your ((In conference teams') weaknesses)). We didn't win many MNC's until Osborn started to also recruit to compete against the Canes. Our Conference Champ was tied in to the Orange Bowl and would more often than not, have to play the home team (Miami, or FSU). the trick was to ballance that off with making sure you got there.

Guy's will go for your knees no matter how good their team is. This year, we've lost 3 players for the season...2 of them got hurt playing against some High School from Louisianna. (Tech or State). Even USC after our miserable game (lost by our HBC) their players, said they hadn't played against a bigger/faster/tougher defensive line EVER(TROY said the same a week later after getting close to FSU)...If USC played against that level of Competition on a weekly basis and with their depth, they'd be pretty good by the end of the year...Troy on the other hand...Probably won't ever have that kind of depth...I like their schedule though..I hope they can keep their program improving. -------------------------- _________________ "Now this end is called the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35bZ75QlRX8 Don't watch the last 20 seconds...

Do you think it would work for the SEC or B-12? Best thing is it would eliminate rematches, and insure everybody in your conference plays everyone else.

This is a significant season the league for this reason: the round robin schedule. Every team in the Pac-10 plays every other team, for the first time, an offshoot of the new 12-game schedule. In fact, of the six BCS conferences, only two play every other conference foe: the Pac-10 and the Big East. So while Oklahoma doesn't play Nebraska in the Big XII this season, and Tennessee doesn't play Auburn in the SEC, ASU can't skip Cal, like it did last year, and everybody gets a shot at USC. Unlike the Big Ten, a league that actually has 11 teams, with each team skipping three (three!) conference rivals, the Pac-10 has, by far, the best way to secure an honest conference champion. And don't tell me about those conferece championships employed by the Big XII and the SEC. Those usually result in rematches anyway. So let the feeding frenzy begin. Conceivably, the round robin schedule will make it more difficult for a Pac-10 team to go undefeated, but I guess we'll find out. _________________ "Now this end is called the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35bZ75QlRX8 Don't watch the last 20 seconds...

The Pac-10 likes to think of itself as a grand academic consortium, so they won't let in a school like Fresno State. I don't know what Boise's reputation is, but they're a member of the Pac-10 in wrestling, so maybe the conference would add them for all sports. _________________ blue wrote: RFUCK YOU FUXCK YOU FUXCK YOU!!@ IOUWA!!!!

We've got 5 teams consistently in the top 25 every year. Usually more than one in the top 10. Then we beat each other up and drop in ways that other strong teams in weaker conferences won't. _________________ "It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality."

Ok..TWO years...Actually I wasn't calling the SEC a "One Team" Conference...I was just wanting to know who Blue thought the "One Team" in my conference was (This Year)...I'm assuming the B-12 was included in his list of "One Conference teams. So..Let's see..accd to the list from your link above... (B-12) was a "4 team" conference, although 5 other teams were rated during the season. (B-11) was a "3 team" conference, although 6 other teams were rated during the season. (P-10) was a "4 team" conference, although 3 other teams were rated during the season. (sec) was a "6 team" conference, although 2 other teams were rated during the season. Now, I'm not sure how much stock I put into these ratings, but there's not as much difference between number 5 through 35..Any ONE of them could knock each other off at any given time. The days of the "1 team" conference are probably over..Shoot even when we had probably our "BEST Team"..Our two closest games came against conference teams...Probably true of ALL of our MNC teams. _________________ "Now this end is called the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35bZ75QlRX8 Don't watch the last 20 seconds...

I started posting to a Gator site ~5 years ago..I'm not sure why..(Probably googled something that led me to there). Over the years, it was fun poking them and getting them fired up. (While trying to remain a good sport). I've since been able to stay away for the most part (off season, anyway) but have found myself bugging them again. http://thegatorboard.com/bb/viewtopic.php?...asc&start=0 Just wondering if any of you have done the same thing and why.. It's been fun trying to educate these SEC fans on Football , but lately I wonder if I've been avoiding Husker sites (the ones I could find) because I prefered remembering Husker fans as being the smartest fans around and not wanting to read anything that would change my mind. i.e. The dumb posts I read on other sites were just attributed to dumb Southern Rednecks. Anyway..Occasionally, one of the new posters will run out of insults and ask me why I hang out in enemy territory... and I sometimes have trouble coming up with a reason Maybe it's like Dodgeball in H.School..I loved it when I was the last one left on my team and had to overcome the odds.

Yeah..I think it was the USC game...But he tried to play with the broken thumb for the next two weeks if I remember right.

Living out here, (in Tempe area) I was looking forward to seeing Keller challenge for the Heisman, or at least. Lead ASU to a win over USC. (Koetter actually likes to score in ALL posessions against the Trojans) I thought having Keller start was a "no-Brainer" since he was doing so well last season prior to his season ending injury. Carpenter did very well in relief but against much weaker competition in the 2nd half of ASU's schedule... I was sooo dissapointed when Koetter caved under pressure from Rudy's Dad and changed his mind the day after he announced Keller was starting in the opener..but figured, Sammy would get plenty of playing time as ASU hasn't gone a whole season without injuring a starting QB for the last 9 years... I was actually hoping he'd stay, until I found out he was considering my Favourite team to transfer to..We're all going to enjoy watching him play for NEBRASKA after he spends this season absorbing the system and staying sharp as a practice dummy.

So THIS is what you Girls talk about when you go to the Bathroom together...

But... I just found this site, yesterday! And just begun to vent . Sorry..I should've noticed the dates and gone back to the Gator site to poke fun at them some more...I was just looking for some fans from back home to comizerate? with.. I've been holding it in all week like a nice Husker, too Hey...We really should be undefeated at all times But Really...I don't care about W's and L's near as much as how we get there. What sets "Us" apart from "them" is that we'll go for Two to win the game and possibly loose the MNC...Or that's what opposing fans seem to be the most impressed by. We'll continue to have faith in the LP's of the world no matter how many times they poop on us. Let "Them" steal playbooks, eliminate Walkons, Cover the Spread...etc

What tha... Did Herbie die? I was googling for an image to use as my avitar and saw the guy from the Village People pretending to be the second Darren from Bewitched ..er HHHerbie. Can we get after him for copyright infringement?

Thong, if I can get Buckeye37 (my Wife) to wear 'em 10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game?

"Dances with Korn"..Oh, you mean...Uh..Tha Touch Downs (of course)...Fumbleroosky, fullback up the middle against any Florida school in the 3rd or 4th Quarter..Long pass down the middle after we lulled the other team to sleep...That one kickoff to Oklahoma where their guy was KO'd..I still can't believe they didn't call that a fumble!!! ...Traps were always fun, though... 16) Favorite game-day beverage?Mass Quantities...anything cold..Beers with gatorade (mixed in) if it's windy ..NO..really don't pay attention to anything other than the next play call... 17) How did you find HuskerBoard?
