Pasadena Husker

so how does everyone think the remaining three games will play out? i think the huskers will get rolled by kansas this week, then step up on senior day and beat k-state, and then really not show up the day after thanksgiving and get throttled by CU. final record, 5-7. after the loss to colorado, callahan gets his pink slip and then within two days osborne will reveal the next head coach.

while not a fan of the jayhawks, i can imagine the incredible enthusiasm that must be in lawrence and the rest of kansas during this stretch run. when was the last time kansas was undefeated in football during november? however, i do not sure your opinion that the game will be close. this week is homecoming at kansas and the team and kansas fans will be so jacked up that they will likely steamroll us even before the first half is over. enjoy it now because even if kansas continues to have some success in football in the next couple of years it will never seem as exciting as this season.

Hanging and beating are completely different. You could argue we hung in with just about every team this year. When crunch time hits...this staff cannot make the necessary changes to allow us to win rather then hang. i don't think you could argue that we hung in with just about every team this year. in fact, three of the 5 teams we lost to this each other the game was essentially over by half time.

why would they. they have a team that makes the correct adjustments and wins the game.

we have sunk to the level of giving A's for effort? isn't that what they give to the pop-bottle glasses wearing kid that sits on the end of his little league bench and gets hit on the head with a pop fly?

quality opponent? these guys got rolled by KSU at home.

exactly. all this sunshine and lollipops crap that we played a good game and keep our chins up is the mating call of the loser. KSU rolled these guys a couple of weeks ago. they aren't that good.

exactly. this is old news. i was under the impression that he would be let go at the end of the year anyway.

Did we just wake up from a nightmare? i sure hope so

apparently a big cookie monster fan as well.

Well then, the horns are screwed cuz I heard we're sending our girl's VB team. i guess they can lose to texas just as easily as the football team can.

i like the sailor hat on the guy at the end of the article.

is the "Foxy" still there?

if you like this nostalgic thing, click on the following link and then go to page 2 of the article. there is a quote by one of the great american writers (and native daughter), willa cather, regarding nebraska football. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...51024-2,00.html

Nice one! He'd come after you with his head down and his eyes closed! I know the Peter brothers were notorious in the bar scene, but at least they backed it up on the field! actually, does anyone remember during the 97 season when some guy at a bar in lincoln punched wistrom in the face and game him a black eye. apparently, wistrom did not retaliate and then osborne praised him for not fighting back. that was probably the mature thing to do, but i think alot of people kind of thought he was a "alternative name for a cat" for not at least trying to pummel the guy. Wistrom definitely wasn't a p***y on the field like Mckeon is! completely agree with your statement and in reality if he had fought back he probably would have beaten the guy silly and then been suspended or worse; however, i am sure the guy who punched him has made a "career" out of telling anyone who will listen to him that he is the guy that kicked grant wistrom's ass.

i am taking it with two grains of salt. the "quoted" remarks sound too scripted (e.g why would he throw TO's name in there) and more like something that would appear in a teenage sexploitation movie like varsity blues then would happen in real life. i did; however, like the reference to the Brass Rail. what a dump!

Tedford is a great coach and would good for Nebraska. He is fed up with Berkley's tree huggers and other assorted fruits and nuts. he might be fed up with berkeley, but he would never leave there to come to lincoln. there is not a real upside for him, his family, or career to leave a big name university like cal that he has built back up and coming out to the firestorm in lincoln. doesn't make sense right now.

good comments about the last two. right on the mark.

don't forget to thank the players as well. they are not innocent in this debacle either.

Like Minnesota? good one. snappy!

because, in the immortal words of woody hayes "they wouldn't let me go for 3". classic

yeah, no way they even consider him for a position on this staff. there would be a mutiny in big red nation. although, i think it is great that he has gone on and has had his coaching abilities redeemed a bit. good for him. there are a lot worse jobs then coaching at NDSU.

Supposedly Callahan relinquished that power. This is just a rumor, but supposedly Callahan was calling the plays post-halftime -- 0 points scored post-halftime. All I can say is this: Our coaches are to blame. I'm sorry, but our players are to blame as well. There is ABSOLUTELY no viable excuse for what we (Nebraska fans) and others around the football world have witnessed from Nebraska football. Period. The defending of our player's poor play needs to stop. They're big boys. This isn't like criticizing a pee-wee football team's players. Most of them have their college paid for (not I, I'm paying ~$300 a month in student loans from UNL). I still had PLENTY of time to waste, or in the Nebraska Football team's players case...practice and get better. They are here to play football...plain and simple. Either way, even the most objective observer can see that there is a problem with both our coaching and players. Whether our player's performances can be attributed to coaching...we may never know. The one thing I do know: The recent performance of Nebraska football is unacceptable. I think it is time for me to stop living vicariously through Nebraska football. But after all, regardless of the Webster's definition of a fan, isn't that exactly what a "fan" is? What to do...what to do? Perhaps....but I'd be willing to bet the farm these kids would perform much better under a different coaching staff! okay, but i would be willing to bet the farm that if the coaches had better players they would perform much better. i am not defending this coaching staff, but they didn't fumble punts in crucial situations. what is different from this team and the teams from 2005 and 2006? the principles from that coaching staff (head coach, def. coordinator, O-line coach, etc) are the same and most people would agree that they saw progress and improvment. the obvious, major difference is the players.
