  1. The thing is, guys like Mandel (AP writers), only refer to the AP poll when they talk about rankings. They live in a fantasy world where their vote still matters

     

    Their votes may not really matter, but they really do watch a whole lot more football than any of the coaches do.

  2. don't know about you, but for me this is a sureal moment. At 43, I have followed this team since I was a baby. living across the street from Bob Devaney and our extended family owning the Big Red shop across the street from the stadium for years and having been to games all over the big 8 and big 12. I am going to deeply miss the Big12 conference schools. I am going to miss leavng KC and getting to a game inside 3 hours anywhere in the North. While I am very excited about our future, I will deeply miss places and all the fun I have had in placed like Ames, Manhattan, Lawrence, Columbia. And I wish them and their fans all the luck in the world.

     

    I feel your pain but my situation is almost exactly opposite. I currently live in Indianapolis and rarely get to go to games. That all changed for me today and I can't even describe how excited I am!! Several Big 10 schools are within a few hours of me. IU, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern, Columbus, and even East Lansing and Ann Arbor. Also, it will be awesome not having a regional Big 10 game on ABC have priority over the Huskers anymore! Go Big Red!!!

  3. I disagree. I am a fan of both Tulsa and Nebraska. Mainly because my sister lives in Tulsa and it is a sweet town. If there was a player who chose between Nebraska and Tulsa and decided to go to Tulsa I would be happy about it. I have to say I have a lot more Nebraska shirts than Tulsa shirts though.

     

    I'm also a Nebraska and Tulsa fan. I grew up in Nebraska and lived there from birth to 18 years old. I was born a Husker fan and I'll die one. I, however, went to the University of Tulsa because I wanted to play soccer in college and NU does not have men's varsity soccer. During my time there, I grew to be a diehard fan of all Tulsa sports the same way that I am with all Husker sports. So to say that someone can't be a diehard fan of two schools is absolutely ridiculous.

  4. the fiesta is impossible. i do not understand why we are not being talked about for the Cotton though, i think we are more deserving than OK State.

     

    Agreed! Higher ranked and made it to the CCG. That loss shouldn't be allowed to count against us for conference standings.

  5. Here is the coverage map for the NU/OU game. GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!

    This is the best news I have heard all week, I don't have to PPV it and it will be In HD!! life is good.... I just hope we can make a game of it.

     

     

    Even though it pisses me off, this coverage map actually makes sense for Indianapolis considering we're only 90 mi from Cincy. Looks like I'll be at the bar.

  6. we tried a trick play against oklahoma last year (a fake field goal run) and they "intercepted" the over-the-shoulder toss and scored. :(

     

    The reason that didn't work against CU was because we'd used it successfully earlier in the year and LSU had used it successfully the year before that. That's one of those plays that you use once in a lifetime and then, once its on film, just put it away and forget about it.

  7. OMFG, stop with the stupid swine flu stuff. It's no worse than the regular flu, it's just a media driven scare....

     

    :lol:

     

    Exactly.

     

    They put 'Swine' in front of flu and people went, "OH NOES, WE GON DIE!!!!"

     

     

    I couldn't agree more. There will be around 30,000 deaths from regular flu this year in the US as opposed to the couple hundred from H1N1. The media can make the American public believe whatever they want.

  8. Anyone in the Indianapolis area know of a Husker friendly location? I loved Neon Johnny's and its going to be hard to top it, but with all of the games on PPV and missing some due to regional Big 10 games I'd like to find a place where a bunch of us could meet and defray the cost. Any ideas?
