Bobby Purify is actually uncle to MO

thought mo was bobby's uncle.

and abc is clueless at times. nunn was classified as a senior from some town other than his hometown a few weeks back. i wish i could get paid to do my job half-ass.

i can just imagine the bs that would be tossed around if the refs had thrown the sCUm player out after the cheap shot

he should have been. its a good thing the guy from behind him didnt lay into as well.

I found in Section 9:

k. No player shall continuously contact an opponent’s helmet (including

the face mask) with hand(s) or arm(s) (Exception: By or against the

runner).

 

And in the interpretations: "XV. A defensive player, during a live ball, twists, turns or pulls the

face mask or any opening of the opponent’s helmet. RULING:

Personal foul."

if game is played in manhattan, ks rule is null and void.

you forgot that part thats in the fine print.

It kinda looked like he fumbled right at the goal line, but apparently he was in

to me it appeared that he hit the safety with his chest and that is when the ball came out. hit would have been scary had wilson got his shoulder lowered into the safety.

I live here in Wichita, kansas and pay attention to high school football around here. And let me tell you this guy is a stud. He's only a Sophomore at Wichita East, and he already has broken the single season Wichita City League rushing record, and he only played 8 games. I know KU and K state will be all over this kid. This is prolly the best RB to come out of Wichita, since Barry Sanders. I hope Cally and crew will be out to get this Kid, cuz he will be a star

you missed a pretty decent back who went to collegiate in the 90's.

AP sports editor Terry Taylor said: "We understand mistakes can happen, but we thought this one could have been prevented. The heart of the matter here is the credibility of the poll."

credibility of the poll? i like that. they make an agreement with a group to determine a national champion then crown a different team the champion. now they are worried about credibility. and besides most fans think the pollsters are biased anyway.

What is this in the Nebraska Press Guide that says Congdon kicked a 53-yarder in HC and also kicked 85% of his kickoffs in the endzone? Yeah right!!!

he did. but you have to remember, as someone else pointed out earlier, they dont use kicking tees in college anymore. that affects most kickers accuracy and distance.

it would be nice to get one to choose us over OU.

we have already done that with this staff, a few times.

Keep in mind guys, Callahan has already offered O'Neal. So Callahan must think he can handle this guy. Or he at least thinks he deserves a second chance.

he did coach the raiders. only problem he had there was his boss. dont think he will have the same problem here that he had in oakland.

The balls of Stoops to go for it on fourth and one probally lost the game for Fran. Fran's reasoning at the time for the play action wasn't that bad.

and does he become a genius if it works?

Lawson Story

 

Can anyone confirm this is the Husker? Age would seem to indicate it. . .

wait for the toxicology report. if he was under the influence of any drug espn will be all over it in a heartbeat if he is on the nebraska roster.

It always used to be that all practice efforts were scored and the score determined who played in the game. If it's still that way, I'd guess that Shanle must score better than the young guys. Hence, the coaches have some basis for not starting them.

 

Maturity, as well as knowledge of the system, are BIG factors. The vast majority of 18 or 19 year old true freshman just don't have maturity but they have been practicing in the system for almost a year and now have attended 9 games to see how the system is supposed to work. Maybe the knowledge is adequate now. So, now that Major had a very good game, is that enough to trust that he will be the best person to put out there next weekend?

 

With that said, there are always exceptions to the rule. Maybe Major is the exception?

 

now if shanle and one of the "young guns" score the same in practice, who starts and how much time do you give each player? do you go with what has gotten you there or do you trust the kid to perform how he was in practice? (this just goes off your premise of a scoring system)

i had more to add but just started to grow frustrated over all the why's that kept coming up.

All this talk of average coaches, and players, and trouble with pass defense bring to mind the early 80s.

 

Word has it that Tom O and his staff were perplexed on how to stop predominantly passing teams. Bobby Bowden was perplexed on how to develop a running game. They exchanged coaches, we taught them the running game, they taught us pass defense. Huskers brought in sprinters for safeties, moved safeties to corner and corners to linebacker to increase overall defense speed. It worked then, for both teams. The results are in the history books.

 

Maybe BC and his boys need to go back to school?

 

Just a thought.

 

how do we know they havent already done this? callahan has connections to one of the nfl's better defenses. are the coaches still learning how to employ what they have learned? its a good thought, i personally feel its already being done though, just that the information being shared is coming from nfl coaches rather than other college coaches. how many college coaches share information that they have learned? i honestly dont know but with the way college athletics is nowadays i think that the information shared is somewhat limited and coaches being very selective with who they share it with.

 

The underlined states that we have the players.. sum of those players are not on the field

and why arent these players on the field? sooner or later you have to take the training wheels off and let them fall down a couple times.

I would still have goodbye sex with her though!!!

when she came back.

slightly off-topic but still pertaining to the topic, what time is the game going to be? i'm lazy and unmotivated to look for it myself.

tia

the guy from lawton ok and the iowa guy both had nu at 15. and of course sipple put us at 14. for the most part it was 18-20 from the writers i looked at, which were basically the writers in big 12 country and the national guys.

Man, my fantasy team is kicking ass today. Sweet!

 

Oh, I'm sorry, was this thread about anything? Couldn't really tell.

i just hope you dont have edgerin james as a running back cause the cards suck.

If it were the Cornhuskers....Nope, not a chance in hell.

That's pretty sad ... it's your wife. The Cornhuskers aren't going anywhere ... your wife will.

and a good wife would have consulted him about his schedule before arranging trips.

You are right, but to know that if he just HOLDS ON TO THE BALL then we would've been able to run the clock out. He also let that punt roll down to the 1 yard line which cost us some valuable field position. At least Nate Swift catches the ball.

and if the D doesnt give up a big running play on the last drive. or if they just keep them outside the 20 and not letting them inside the 10 on that drive. ifs and buts. the TEAM lost not terrance nunn. one kid doesnt need the entire husker nation breathing down his neck because of a good hit by the texas player.

Since he is at a prep school, will he have 3 or 4 years of eligibility?

he will have 5 to play 4. dont lose eligibility when attending a prep school. also will be able to leave after his sophomore year to the nfl, as he would be 3 years removed from high school.

how do they determine the cpu%? because we are getting screwed by it. ahead of both rutgers and boise st in the harris and coaches poll but behind them in the bcs.

If I am not mistaken though isn't the only two polls the BCS uses are the Coaches and the AP polls?

they dropped the ap in favor of the harris interactive poll, iirc. it also still uses some computer polls as well. but the bcs is crap anyway and i try not to pay too much attention to crap.

nebraska is recruiting other wr's, right? the staff might be closing the deal with some other wrs and they started to cool on brooks. just trying to put a positive spin on things.

but the fact that three players from irving arent coming sounds a little fishy.

i would love for wilson to have a big day today. he's my favorite back of the 4 (kansas thing, used to live there). i also thought he was heading to KSU, but that was when snyder was still the coach.

The last mention I can find of Covey in the Lincoln Journal Star was 8/24/06 when it said he was still sidelined with an injury. A previous article on 8/18/06 said he had turf toe.

ACL out for the year was the last i heard.
