  1. We STIINK! admit it. those games we got lucky on that they were such cakewalks so early. Nebraska basketball is always that way. getcha goin for a while and then boom they start playin like Nebraska again. whatever. bring on some spring ball alredy!!

  2. Yah I saw that. Not much to speak of. Solich looks more and more like someone who has never had a public speaking class in his life. Not kickin him while hes down, just the facts. I dont think hes gotten worse, just think its more noticeable since hes been gone for so long now. I think we'll realize Coach Cal is so much better for the job after a while.

  3. The more I read about this the more plausible it sounds. Why else would Pederson be waiting so long. Not just to name Bo the new coach, guaranteed. He wants to land a big fish. Spurrier would blow Husker nations minds, thats for sure.

     

    And as much as I dont like to admit it, I'd have to have a small gator grin on my face if in fact SP did land SS. B/C this would bring a lot of positive attention to NU, and make for some intriguing matchups, Stoops v. Spurrier?!! and others which would revitilize intrest in the Huskers for recruits, and hell, maybe even the press???!! :unsure:

     

    I just wouldnt put it past Steve. Either one of em.

  4. spurrier has said repeatedly that he has no interest in NU. Does this mean nothing? he is a fair weather pansie and cant handle the cold. he likes golf and visors and throwing them on the ground when we beat the hell out of Florida in the 97 Fiesta bowl. plus his philosophies are like oil and water compared to Nebraska football. try again red. :D

  5. Just wanted to say congrats to the womens v-ball team for another great season.

     

    Yes we do care about other sports than just football, and definitely appreciate all of your hard work!! You have made us proud to be Huskers even when times are a bit shady in other parts of the Big Red forest!!

     

    Thanks!!!

    :)

  6. Yes when compared to teams who DO have national championships, there is not comparison. But yes, if you are comparing simply overall wins to determine conference dominance, of course you can look at the bottom line. But hey did you stop to look for a minute at head to head games? How many times has kstate beat OU? Just once right? I imagine we have only beaten them once also since the big 12 was formed, but we finally get a run at em again the next 2 yrs. Finally get a chance to truly measure ourselves against, yes, THE best in the big 12, OU.

  7. The Players had a players only meeting yesterday that lasted an hour

    and a half. They met because many of them are unhappy about the

    unresolved head coaching situation. The search has been carried out, as

    we all know, in virtual secrecy by one man, Steve Pederson. The players

    are frustrated at having no input.

     

    KETV channel 7 in Omaha broke the story on their late news last night.

    Players speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the team discussed

    the possibility of boycotting practice and or the Alamo Bowl. They

    discussed the possibility of holding their own press conference or

    writing an open letter to the media to express their concerns.

     

    The Lincoln Journal reported that the meeting ended abruptly when the

    players were unable to reach any unanimity on what to do. Players were

    said to have stormed out of the meeting amid a flurry of expletives.

    One player (according to the LJS) described the meeting as "very, very

    tense."

     

    Another player commented to the LJS saying, "We feel like we're

    completely left in the dark...There've been so many wounds opened, and

    everyone wants those wounds to close by hiring Coach Pelini."

     

    At least 20 players are reportedly considering leaving if Pelini is not

    named head coach. It may be those players who pushed for the

    meeting at this time. They are running out of time to transfer for

    the spring semester so they can be eligible at another school next fall.

     

    Pelini made a brief appearance at the players meeting, reminding them

    of the importance of being unified.

     

    The LJS also reported that the 5 Tallahassee recruits in over the

    weekend were impressed with Pelini. Joe Manning said the hiring of

    Pelini would "increase the chances for all five of us (to commit)."

    Pelini is in charge of recruiting northern Florida.

     

    Later in their late broadcast last night, KETV, in jest, visited an

    Omaha fortune teller to solve the mystery of NU's next head coach. The

    fortune teller had reportedly accurately predicted the 1997 National

    Title and some other sports related achievement which I can't recall.

    After viewing pictures of the known serious candidates for the job -

    she picked Turner Gill. Stating he was the best candidate and that he

    will do whatever it takes to get the job done in the right way. Noting

    that he was a Leo (I think) and that fact seemed to impress her.

     

    In other news, coach Solich is one of six finalists for the Cincinatti

    Bearcats job according to AD Bob Goin.

     

    Five Sooners were named to the AP All-American first team. NU's Josh

    Bullocks was named to the second team.

     

    NU's Volleyball team fell to UCLA last weekend to end another fine

    season by John Cook's gals.

     

    The mens basketball team beat Tennessee at home to move to 6-1 on the

    season.
