Because FS's recruits where committed to Nebraska. And BC's recruits were commited to him. If you're committed to the program, you'll wait and see how the new guy does. If you're committed to a coach you'll go find the next coach that makes you happy. What also needs to be figured in the equation is how many players left after they spent one (or more) years with BC. It will be interesting to see if BP has (m)any losses of current players after his first season.

Thank goodness that's been taken care of!

There's an interesting article over on aol site about the ten dirtiest programs in college football. Here's the quick run down: 1) Texas Tech 2) Oklahoma 3) aTm 4) Bama 5) Kentucky 6) Cal 7) Washington 8) Auburn 9) OK State 10) Miami Ouch, the top 3 from the Big XII and 4 of the top 10. And nobody from the Big Televen on the list. Of course we all know if they did a top ten scummiest schools in college football, KSUcks and sCUm would be at the top of the list.

Grand Prairie, here. Also thinking about joining.

You must still be counting TR, because otherwise I only count 4: 14 Blaine Gabbert 21 Baker Steinkuhler 36 Jonas Gray 69 Bryce Givens ---------------------- 84 Trevor Robinson

NU may be a "Historic Program", but even in our history we've celebrated by tearing down the goal posts. 1978, #1 rated Oklahoma comes into Memorial Stadium. Billy Sims lays the ball on the AstroTurf in the final minute of the game and we preserve a 17-14 win; TO's first win over Oklahoma. (Is that the last time we defeated a #1 ranked team?) I watched the goal posts come down that day. And they indeed did parade down "O" street. That being said, I would hate to see Husker fans act like Buckeye fans did when they won their NC a couple of years ago. We lived in Ohio at the time. All kinds of violence and destruction in Columbus that night, including cars being rolled over, furniture being taken out the curb and set on fire. Cheer the opponent as they leave the field, get excited and enjoy the win. I don't agree with charging the field and taking down goal posts, but that pails in comparison to what has started to happen in sports these days.

That 1978 game was the first Husker game I ever went to in person. We sat a couple of rows from the top of the South stadium looking straight down the OU sidelines. We were freezing our butts off as there was virtually no protection from the cold north winds. At the time I had thought we didn't have very good seats. When NU had to settle for the field goal late in the game I was sure OU would make their infamous fourth quarter comeback and score a TD to beat us again. As it played out it looked, once again, that the Sooner speed on offense was going to be more than our tired defense could handle as they marched down the field putting them in position for at least a tieing field goal. Then it happened. Billy Sims laid the ball down on the carpet again. The fumble occured right in front of us. I could see the ball laying on the ground and the tiny patch of green between the ball and the white sideline. Everything seemed to slow down as if it was occuring in slow motion. In my mind I was thinking it was going to bounce out of bounds before a Husker could get on top of it. But alas, Jimmy Pillen, recovered the fumble at the Husker 3 yardline and saved the day. Amazingly, we didn't notice how cold it was after that. It was incredible watching the goal posts come down. We saw them being carried down "O" street as the fans took to the streets celebrating Osborne's first win over the evil Oklahoma. What an unforgetable introduction to Memorial Stadium and the Husker Experience. As I look back on it, those seats don't look so bad now.

I watched the video in that link about the '83 Huskers. The thing that stood out the most to me was how awesome the O-line was. I know Rozier was a stud I-back, Fryer had all kinds of speed, and T Gill was a wizard at running the offense, but you look at most of those highlights and there's no defender near them. To me the scoring explosion included D. Steinkuhler as much as those three. Here's hoping his son is the anchor of a new scoring explosion! Could it be Blaine Gabbert as the wizard running the offense, Collins Okafar as the stud runningback, TBA as the speedster at receiver?

Bradley and Carricker make the list on Fox Sports.com Link Players with the most to gain Stewart Bradley, linebacker, Nebraska — The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Bradley was a productive player, but he has to show that he's healthy (a serious knee injury ended his 2005 season) and that he has NFL-type speed. If he can pass the medical examinations and turn in a fast 40, he'll shoot up draft boards. Players with the most to lose Adam Carriker, defensive end, Nebraska — Carriker shot up draft boards after having a great week at the Senior Bowl. But that means teams will scrutinize him more closely in Indianapolis, looking for any flaws they might have missed in Mobile. Every offensive tackle who played against him knows Carriker has a very quick first step, but if that quickness doesn't translate to the stopwatch, scouts might become skeptical. GBR
