  1. That's good news. I think with the A&M game they know they have a lot of eyes on them. If they have a high profile game like this looking that bad, it will not be good for the long term image of the Big XII.

     

     

    I don't believe there is a "long term image" for the Big 12. The Texas schools will find a model providing more economic benefit for them, then they are gone.

  2. So I am talking to my brother(a coach) and he was suggesting that Bo actions might have been on purpose and that he was trying to get national attention. the idea is if everyone notices what has happened so far then if we would happened then the media would be sitting and waiting to jump on any little discrepancy in the big 12 title game. while I doubt Bo did this on purpose, I do think that this will actually be a beneficial side effect. i think if we see a 16-2 again tomorrow or on the 4th AND Bo is able to keep his cool the national media will go off.

     

     

    If so; Can you imagine the backslapping, belley laughing, beer drinking get together on Sunday night with Bo and Carl! Now that's a pretty cool image. Couple of 'ol Boys gaming the system.....

  3. I've read every single post in this thread and have taken it all into consideration. As a fanatic Husker fan and a knowledgable fan of football, generally speaking, it's obvious to me that we need to cut loose some dead weight around the program. Starting with Watson, then Cotton, and although im not so sold on Gilmore being cut, i also dont think getting rid of him would hurt us either! The problem is on the offensive side of the ball. Turner for OC? He developed some of our best offensive QB's ever! Frazier, Frost!

     

    Scott Frost would be a great idea.

     

    He has been coaching receivers at Oregon for the last one maybe two years. He has to have picked up some good habits there!

     

    Bring Scott back, nobody out there has more to anchor him to Nebraska than Scott Frost and the whole Frost Family!

     

    Tremendous Idea there HuskerHandy35!!!

  4. To the Administrator that Moved this Posting:

     

    You silly clod.

     

    How many people have tried to reach out with something we can all agree on before we end the series.

     

    People like to respond to something they find attractive - Texas people like BBQ.

     

    Have a little forsight before you make decisions and maybe think...

  5. Hey there all you A & M Fans!

     

    I used to travel to Houston often for business and found the Texas Style BBQ sauce and preparation to be about the very best thing I've ever had. Damn, that Beef Brisket and pork ribs were to die for.

     

    As I remember, you Texas folks like a very thin, vinegar based sauce and a rub that let the smoke do the talkin' Now while I am living out here in Oregon, I'd love to be able to produce an honorable Texas style brisket to go along with Oregon smoked Chinook Salmon!!! I am not a Duck fan by the way, wife and I both have graduate degrees at Oregon but we support the Beavers at Oregon State - those folks are old style fans like Huskers and Aggies! Through thick and thin, the Beaver fans have supported their team - just pretty cool folks.

     

    Oregon fans have no class......too bad. They will just love CU next year!

     

    I'd sure appreciate, in light of this being our mutual farewell game, if you followers of Texas BBQ would post in this thread your favorite Texas style sauce and rub recipes. I will then use this recipe and toast the Aggies for years to come!

     

    Now I would never ask this favor from a Teasips! but I think the A&M / Huskers relationship has just been pretty good over the years and I hope you will go out of your way a little bit!

     

    Go Big Red - Go Aggies

  6. All of the regional games get played on either ESPN or Game Plan, correct? So if NU is broadcast regionally in the midwest, it should show up on the west coast, correct?

     

    GBR

     

    I checked the online Dish programming site this am and the game is listed on one of the game plan channels!

  7. i havent heard much other than some very vague, unsubstantiated tricklings that his elbow is blown out again.

     

     

    so no, i know nothing.

    Thanks for the response. I heard a strong rumor from a friend I can usually trust, but you never know...I thought I'd ask you guys.

    Bo says Zac is fine and should be able to play Saturday.

     

    In Bo-Speak, that can mean anything from "Zac is actually fine" to "Zac died an hour ago." I wouldn't trust a thing Bo says when it comes to injuries. If you trust your source, I would believe what they're telling you.

     

    I also fully expect Cody Green to start against Kansas and play most, if not all, of the game.

     

     

    Now THAT is really funny!

  8. I kept waiting for him to throw the 25 yard post pattern to the Tight End. That would have been amazing.

    Me too! I thought for sure we'd see Burkhead throw a long one. I'll bet it would have been open. And Rex would have nailed the pass.

     

     

    I'll bet Turner Gill is going to be up late tonight worrying, how in the world to defend against that very pass from the Wildcat. It's the one you can't afford to defend, but makes you look really silly if it works.....

     

    You have to admit, Watson has tried his best to use what resources he has to the best of our team's abilities. We had people playing way outside of their comfort zones and they rose to the occasion.

  9. Dish has not been broadcasting the Pelini show the last few weeks, at least not in the Portland, OR market.

     

    Anyone know where or if this show is available via the internet?

     

    Thanks. GBR

     

    RR

    Thats because dish and fox are in a pissing match. You dont get FX or any of the FSN's if you have dishnetwork right now.

     

     

    OK, appreciate understanding the reason why I'm not getting it, but, is it available on the internet somewhere else?

     

    Thanks all. GBR

  10. Our future is the Pass Action Play

     

     

    Let T-Magic spread out the field with a pass play at scrimage, then as the field opens up during the play and a running lane appears, Taylor is off to the races.

     

    Doesn't matter if it is a design play or a pickup off a true pass play, it is always there for us. Amazing what a mobile, dual threat QB will do!

     

    If I was the Mizzery D-Coach, this is what would be keeping me up at night this week.........

  11. That's debatable... Zac Taylor was pretty legit, and let's not forget Joey Ganz. And of course, Sam Keller. :facepalm:

     

    But, honestly, I can't comment at this point in his career, but if Tay Mart can consistently throw like he did yesterday, he'll definitely be the most COMPLETE QB Wats has ever coached.

     

     

    Let's make a pact here...............no mention EVER of Sam Keller in reference to the likes of Zac Taylor or Joe Ganz. Those guys, Taylor and Ganz, are studs and played their hearts out, people who gained the respect of everyone in the program. Remember Taylor getting the snot kicked out of him because we didn't have an O-line - he kept playing and kept playing and getting up time after time after no blocking support. Same with Ganz - he made up for areas where the team couldn't support him. Joe Ganz was a bright light in the funk.

     

    T-Magic sure looks like he is making his own way to date. The kid has game! I bet T-Magic has earned the respect of Zac Taylor and Joe Ganz!

     

    Keller played because his Daddy had pictures on "he who shall not be mentioned"......

  12. If we win, would everyone prefer a complete blow out or a last second Henery kick for the win? I am hoping for a blow out.

     

     

    I'd like to see a blowout, BUT I'd also like to see Nebraska call a time out with 1 second left in the game........then kneel on the last play.

     

     

    You, my friend are evil - but I'd sure like to buy you a beer.

     

    That is the best visual I've had for a long time.

  13. I thought the venom displayed by a few KSU fans to be pretty typical. Every program has it's knuckleheads and more than vitriolic fans. We have ours for sure. I hope K-State does well in the new Big Tex conference for as long as it lasts.

     

    Those of you who took offense at the "I hate N" sign...wait to you go to your first conference battle at Iowa. A few of those people have taken "nasty" to the level of a profession.

     

     

    they can't be as bad as CU fans......they are just plan heathens!

     

    As a HUSKER in Oregon; I can't wait until the folks at Oregon meet up with the folks from CU. Probably a good idea to marshall the National Guard for crowd control ahead of time......

     

    These two groups of fans really deserve each other.

     

    PAC10 - Really funny how the folks in Seattle were so nice (was in Seattle for the last two NU games) and the people in Eugene have such a terrible(CU like) reputation.

  14. We had enough people in the stadium that during the 4th quarter, Husker fans were doing an honest 360-degree wave in Husky stadium! It was Epic!!!

     

    We OWNED Husky Stadium!!!

     

    The Washington Fans were very nice; same good, friendly folks we see in Lincoln.

  15. Here's an idea.

     

    Does your phone have a browser that can stream radio? If so, listen to the game on your cell phone.

     

    I've got an IPhone and listen to 620AM - The Zone - every morning on the way to work going between Portland and Salem, OR.

     

    Also listened to the WKU game last Saturday on a Sirius portable receiver sitting on a sand bar on the Snake River at the bottom of Hell's Canyon on a raft trip. We were a long way from cell service there!

     

    Good Luck!

  16. Wondering who the Big 12 is going after to replace NU and CU?

     

    I spoke yesterday with a big BYU supporter and he said their forums and rumors are that the Big 12 is going after them?

     

    I guess I've not paid any attention to what the Big 12 is doing, but told my friend I would post the question here.

     

    Anyone hear that BYU is a possible replacement?

     

    Thanks in advance.
