  1. Agreed. There are douchers in every crowd. Threads that jump to conclusions about whole fan bases due to anecdotal experiences are not productive, nor do they represent good character from Nebraska fans. No offense to the OP, he never claimed the entire fan base was obnoxious, but the thread sets the stage for posts to take it in that direction. OK, I agree - but, Colorado is still the exception to the good citizenship rule. RR
  2. I'd rather Bo write it on their faces with a sharpie while they sleep. Bo is the guy who needs to have it written on his face!!! I wasn't watching a team that was motivated to win last night. Guys standing around with their hands on their hips while a live ball was 20-yards down field. Cosgrove is where and when I last saw that in a Husker team. I was pissed every time I saw a sideline shot with the Defensive coaches in Black Shirts - Get those guys out of those BLACKSHIRTS - they don't deserve to wear them any more than the players............... River Runner
  3. Understand the need to identify the signal caller - Still seems wrong to use the Black Shirt symbol until the "Team" has earned it. Not a big deal for sure - just saying....
  4. It just kind of hit me while watching the game: Bo wore a white shirt and our brand new Defensive Coordinator wore a Black Shirt. I don't think a Defensive Coach should wear a Black Shirt until he has coached up his team to play like Black Shirts.....kind of a taking responsibility thing...... But - I was really happy for the kids who came together on the offensive side of the ball today - they did a great job and played as a team. WR's that catch balls and balls put in the right place to be caught - YES!!! We had time to throw the ball - YES!!! Pretty good down field blocking - YES!!!! I couldn't keep track of all the RB's who were making good yards - YES!! UCLA will just run through us, won't get much in the air......but I know we can outscore them. GBR
  5. So I had heard the game would be broadcast live.....went to check the big ten channel and it does not show the NU spring game. Is it on The Big Ten Channel? Thanks.
  6. Mmmm no. That's why Spurrier is a hall of fame coach and you're a guy who watches DVDs of games that happened 16 years ago. Hey Cupcake - Have you guys "ever" had a game that anyone remembers for 15 years? It's been a lot of years since Spurrier was that Hall of Fame coach - maybe since the mid 90's when Nebraska ended his run? Have a wonderful holidays! RiverRunner
  7. If I still get out the DVD of that game and watch it maybe 2 or three times a year - you bet your sweet petunia Spurrier sees it every night before he goes to sleep - if - he can get to sleep! GBR
  8. I support Bo and understand the difficulties of recruiting to Lincoln. But - Has NU under Bo won one game in which they were the underdog? I see a lot of Coach's names on the list at the beginning of this post where their teams consistantly show up and win the big games - games they were not expected to win - so far we have not won that big game. Close but no cigar! "If you can do it, it ain't braggin!" RiverRunner
  9. The "O" Line gets the Pigskin of Shame............. Those guys were stood straight up and getting pushed backwards all game long. How many times did we see the Center/right Guard stood straight up and pushed back into the ball carrier waiting for a hole to open up? Darn - I thought we were looking past this kind of stuff.......
  10. I think we still owe them, or they owe us, for an out of bounds catch called good, a long, long time ago........... GBR RiverRunner
  11. sounds like missouri, just replace cheese with meth. Now that is funny!
  12. I hope you Dawgs enjoy your time in Lincoln. Last year in Seattle we had a really great time. Your fans were really nice people, just like being in Lincoln. The Dawg pep band came to our bus and played Nebraska fight songs - pretty classy move. We had a super time in '91 too!!! Your west stadium was RED - it was like a HOME game for the Huskers. Now if we could only teach the Duck fans some manners........ RiverRunner
  13. Given the fan's comeback, maybe it should all be about academics?
  14. Hell, we struggle with misdirection on offense too.....
  15. I found the thread on the post above yours as well, but it didn't go past the first game for The Big Ten Network. Yes, I agree with you, you are mean spirited as well. RiverRunner
  16. GBR - Is there a schedule for the Big 10 Network and the Husker Games that will be broadcast and when? Will we still need to get the ESPN Game Plan to get all the Husker Games. RiverRunner
  17. By the way, the Washington Fans last year in Seattle were just as great as those in Lincoln. They were as gracious and hospitible as anything I've seen in Lincoln. You are totally wrong in your critique of the Dog Fans. These are good people just like in Lincoln. Is no one worried about the games we have lost recently where our team was just not prepared to win? Washington beat us fair and square in the bowl game - we didn't come prepared to play.....this was a coaching failure in my opinion. If Bo can't get his team up for a bowl game, or any game, there is a problem. The kool aid just won't work here. We seem to have issues with keeping our eye on the ball - only to lose to teams that we should have overcome. GBR. River-Runner
  18. I called Dish and also couldn't get a straight answer yesterday regarding BTN. Went to the Direct TV web page and their whole house HD package looks enticing for sure. Looks like Direct TV has all the sports channels Dish has and more. Question: Anyone who has switched from Dish to Direct TV, any regrets or components of the Dish Services you miss or cannot get on Direct TV? RiverRunner
  19. GBR How many channels of the BTN does Direct TV carry during the day? More than one channel? I checked with Dish, I live in the Portland, OR area, and DISH will only have one channel of BTN and I have to get an additional $7/month sports package and I already carry their EVERYTHING package. RiverRunner
  20. Agreed. This article was definitely written out of rage and hatred. This is why I hate reporters. Fair and Balanced?....Fox News?....? Be afraid, be very, very afraid. RiverRunner
  21. Gentlemen, This is business. TO has 8,000 more Memorial Stadium expansion tickets to sell. NU didn't sell all it's Holiday Bowl tickets. Bo will clean house because he has to. It's business. GBR
  22. You are correct! I really don't want to watch any more Watson called games at NU. Bring in someone new who gives the players a chance to play!
  23. Bullcrap. Tell me one occasion last night where you could see Watson identify a weakness in the UW defense and then called a play to capitalize on it. Can you even think of once? We just kept calling the same game no matter how UW was coming at us. RiverRunner
  24. This coaching staff really let a great group of kids down this year. Imagine being on the O-line and having a coach incapable of taking advantage of overaggressive defenses just like tonight - never able to protect you from getting hammered each and every play because the defense knows you won't do anything new. I would be really pissed given the effort the team has put out....... RiverRunner
  25. Why would the Huskers want damaged goods? RiverRunner
