When asked about the call on Holts drop, what He has seen since then on the film. Pelini said he thinks he caught the ball and won't coment anyfurther due to getting into trouble...

Talked about Helu emerging in the last year.

 

Talked about Henery doing so well at FG and Punting.

Tim Griffin asked about the frustration of playing so well on D only to lose it. Pelini said they have to finish the game. Then he asked if that will help in conference play and he said in effect, yes.

 

Then Sam Mckewon asked if they shoudl have challenged Holts drop when he went out of the endzone. Pelini said he didn't have a good view and people told him that Holt was clearly bobbling the ball so he didn't challenge.

First question was about Lee. Pelini said he was fine. Guess we'll see.....

 

Then question about the 4th and 1 punt, Pelini said he did it because the D was playing well.

 

Then play calls inside the 5. He said they called what they thought would work and Va Tech made the plays.

Pelini just said Lee is fine on the teleconference....Guess we'll see...

Brother dawg toughed it out then. Dude never fumbled. Lets see whats up...

Also there's a rumor it happened on the last play of the game. Not sure this the time when he injured it has a much legs as the injury rumor itself...

I taped the game, and was re-watching last night. I made it to the end of the third, and was watching Zac for anything unusual. I did notice during the third quarter, that when tackled, he pushed himself up with his right hand.

 

I would have to think that if his throwing hand is injured, he would be favoring the left hand more. Or he is just a total hard@ss.

 

For what its worth.

The rumor is that his LEFT, non throwing hand is the one that's hurt. His throwing hand is fine....

LInk to big 12 teleconference.... Bo is on at 11:50

Good observations, except for one. I think it was our gameplan to not pass rush. On every play, our front four spread out and contained Taylor. I thought it was obvious they were not trying to get to him. On the plays where we blitzed, we got to him pretty quickly.

 

I noticed that, but dont understand the though process behind it. Once he hurts you then fine, but Taylor was obviously looking to pass the whole game. Didnt even run when he had the chance.

 

Do you think they will do that against MU? Gabbert runs well and MU runs him often.

It was the gameplan to just contain Taylor in the pocket and make him beat you with his arm. If they were to run a lot of stunts and blitzes (with young LB's) then you leave yourself open to him running and Taylor running is what would lose the game. I'd rather have him stay in the pocket and throw....

Penalty of the day goes to: Will Henry with the hold to call back the TD.

That goes in to about a 1:30 stretch of self destruction that lost the game. Took them from 1 and goal at the 6 to our of FG range. I told my wife when we punted, "If Nebraska loses this game, this was the reason why."

NO the reason we lost was when we had 1st and goal the 6 and ended having to punt. THAT"S THE REASON THEY LOST! PENALTIES! And they had a TD called back again due to a HOLD! SOUND FAMILIAR!?

Va tech is a run first team. Just because they only have 150 ypg does not mean those yards don't hurt. They are usually big and painful for the opponents.... I think the 107th passing ypg is misleading because they played a great Alabama D and then ran all over Marshall. No need to throw when you can run against Marshall. It's about like saying you had a chance against the '95 nebraska team because they ranked low in Passing YPG. You didn't have a chance. BTW, I'm not comparing Va Tech to that team. Just giving perspective....

Make sense out of this one.......

 

I think someone said earlier in this thread that the reason Iowa has to go national instead of Nebraska is due to the Big 10's tv deal with ESPN. It's stated in the deal that Big 10 games must be national or something like that.....Not completely sure about the wording. But as we all know the Big 12 has a crappy TV contract so the Big 12 gets screwed....

I'll be watching the game on the computer again, I guess.

 

A note to ABC/ESPN: Nobody cares about Iowa except Iowans.

 

...and apparently Arizonans...not that they count

Iowa is playing Arizona.....duh.

gotta love how the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale area will get the Nebraska game, but California won't...I would love for ABC to explain that one to me. Are they suggesting that more people in Miami would rather watch Nebraska than USC? How about the rest of Florida? Why do they get the USC/Washington game, but not the Miami market?

They're suggesting Miami is an ACC market. Va Tech is an ACC team.

I'll be watching the game on the computer again, I guess.

 

A note to ABC/ESPN: Nobody cares about Iowa except Iowans.

If your in MN you can watch on ESPN2's standard Def channel. If you want HD then I don't know what you can do....

I still don't quite understand how they figure these maps out(ie, some of the state of Nebraska gets the Iowa game, some of Iowa gets the NU game).....do they just let a five year old go crazy with a paintball gun?

 

 

 

 

This map above is HD. This is the map for ABC. The reason why north eastern Nebraska (green area) is getting Iowa is because they are served by the Sioux City ABC affiliate.

 

All those in the Iowa/Arizona region (Green) above will be able to see the game on ESPN2 (Standard Def channel). All those in the Nebraska/Va Tech Region (Blue) will get Iowa/Ariz on ESPN2's HD channel.

Gameday had Va Tech the first week with Alabama. Who cares where they go...

Just found out that it is being broadcasted on ABC and ESPN 2 so we are all COVERED!

There is no way they are showing the same game on both channels. Sorry.... West Coast will get USC vs. Washington. Big 10 and Pac 10 country will probably get Iowa vs Arizona. Rest of the country will get Nebraska vs. Va Tech.

The games that are also covered by ABC in that 2:30 CT slot are USC vs. Washington and Iowa vs. Arizona.

Well, at least Missouri got it right, even though ESPN didn't.

 

Therefore, I have a conclusion about the intelligence scale:

 

Tuff Tiger > ESPN

Amen to that!

Mike DeArmond taunting Nebraska fans. Looks like he just wants to start up some words with Nebraska fans...

Who is this guy and why should anyone care what he says?

He's a Mizzou beat writer for the Kansas City Star. They talk about him sometimes on USC in Omaha. I was just putting his vlog up, you don't have to look at it if you don't want.

It's cool, it's just that I've never heard of the guy. I have the sound down here at work, but the guy looked homeless or something.

He's a "journalist" who's a complete homer for Mizzou and openly takes blatant shots at other teams to rub things in their faces when Mizzou does well and they don't. And Nebraska isn't the only one on the receiving end of his articles. It's any Mizzou opponent. He once had a vlog where he was obviously drunk and slurring and rambling on and on. That has since been removed by the Star. Couldn't find it, but it was funny. This is your Mizzou journalist at his finest. And yes, he does always look homeless and sound drunk.
