  1. we will have to match them score for score. i don't think we will get many stops.
  2. i hope not! here's to hoping Bo doesn't pull a Woody and punch some opposing player in the chin after he goes out of bounds on NU's sideline.
  3. Yes!. the offensive line is the weak link on this team and needs to be shored-up immediately. people were bagging on o'hanlon and lee after the loss to va tech, but i think it had more to do with the piss-poor offensive line play.
  4. Roy is as good a running back as we've ever had... what we're is missing is the OL that those other guys had Your joking right? Right? Sure, Helu is a decent and tough running back but to say he's as good a back as we've ever had? How old are you? Ever heard of some guy named Rozier? How about Phillips? How about Green? I could list a lot more but there's not enough room...Sorry but I respectfully disagree... I'm 44 and my freshman year at UNL was Rozier's Senior year ...1983. Rozier, Phillips and Green were all fantastic, I'm just saying I don't think any of them could do much better than Helu behind this O line. I would give my left trasticle to see Helu run behind the 83, 94, 95, or 97 lines. My grandma could have been an all-conference RB those years. Helu rarely gets more than cracks to run thru and his acceleration is as good or better than any of those guys. When he HURDLES people at full speed in the secondary, it's jaw dropping. He doesn't punish people like Rozier or Stoopid Larry, but I wouldn't trade him for anyone that's playing this year. So i'll say he's not the biggest or the fastest or the toughest ever, but he gets my vote for squirtiest. Maybe it's just been way too long since we've had a rusher leading the conference. Put it this way, do you think we could have won the 95 title with this O line? not. How about with Helu instead of Green? I think yes. Osborne's career success can be boiled down to one factor... O line play. i agree with your last part about the offensive line and i think that this is the big thing that is missing from this team and has been missing for about 8 years. except for the last drive of the misery game, they seemed to get very little push and really struggle protecting lee against teams that are decent (i.e. va tech) and only half decent (i.e. misery). i don't know if it is talent or poor coaching, but likely a combination of the two. it seems like barney cotton has always received a "pass" on this board and in the media, but i have seen nothing from his players that seem to indicate that they will ever produce a dominant o-line. even back in 2003 when he first came back to NU, the o-line wasn't that great and he had some pretty good talent to work with. time will tell, but i think he will consistently be the weak link on that coaching staff.
  5. boo hoo, poor little misery tiggers. they got owned in the fourth quarter and pinkel gave up. way to go huskers!
  6. reminds me of the colorado game from 1990, but the other way around. nice win huskers. way to hang in there and drive it down their throats at the end of the game. we are definitely the better team. well done boys
  7. we need to win a close one for once. come on huskers.
  8. Saying the roads are closed. Interpretation: We don't want the Nebrasky hick corn farmers in Missouri. STAY OUT. pot, kettle, black
  9. didn't he also pick his nose and eat it on camera?
  10. no he isn't. he was an assistant coach when they lost in 2003. also, everyone keeps talking about how gabbert and his receivers won't perform well in the rain. i think our receivers who continue to drop passes in good weather will have a terrible time in the rain. only if we can consistently run the football. our o-line is not that great. should be a tight one.
  11. i for one think it would be great if Gill became the next CU coach and it actually makes some sense. he has spent almost his entire career (both playing and coaching) in the big 8/big 12 region, which would give him a leg up on recruiting.
  12. i thought it was fantastic and showed that he is a real classy guy. only good things are in store for him.
  13. gin (tanqueray) martini, straight-up with two olives. just like mother's milk.
  14. listening to it in my hotel room in paris. they are talking to devaney's kids. kind of cool. it will be a late night/early morning, but am not going to miss this game!
  15. if you really want to rant about o'hanlon's performance go over to the woodshed. somebody has already started a nice thread.
