People still listen to Damon Benning? Weird.

Jason White. That's it. When he was stumbling around I was actually worried about the guy.

2001 Oklahoma game. Josh White was actually knocked retarded.

I thought the bouncer/doorman in question was from another bar and thus was a patron of the Alley. I don't think anyone has accused the staff of the Alley of anything. I accuse the Alley of being a sucky bar. I like the Alley. It's a bit expensive, but it's right next to a strip club, so that scores it some points.

I think the idea of a student section B****** would be sweet. "The Black Hole." To support the defense and all. Eh.

All 7 of them that have the NFL network.

Eh. That count isn't really accurate. I know they weren't counting students (at least at my gate). And 54,000 is still ridiculous. It really, really is.

Courtney is that you? shouldnt you be at practice learning to look for the ball or taking some HGH to get taller? Bah. Do you REALLY think Murillo will start over Grix? I mean...really? Keep in mind that Bowman should be back at some point. I hope so. And if he is, Jones goes back to the bench while Grix stays out there. I know what you're all saying...but Coz just will not let a senior with plentiful starting experience sit the bench. I also maintain that, if our safety play is as improved as I think it will be, Grixby will look WORLDS better.

Time won't make much of a difference. It would take an act of god for Murillo to start over Grixby. It's just not in the cards.

Eh. Murillo won't start ahead of Grixby. And he shouldn't.

God, I wish the stupid draft would happen already. I'm sick of hearing about it.

You're right. I haven't been at spring practices. How dumb of me to base my opinion on the performances I've seen. However, worries me that it sounds like everybody is sucking except Purify. That is not good at all.

I know it was 2005. Look at how Colorado ended that season. Lost to Iowa State by 14 points, lost to us by 27, and lost to Texas by 67. They also lost their bowl game against Clemson. Eh. It depends on how you look at the term "Restore the Order." One Big 12 North title, when the North is at maybe its weakest point ever, does not mean (to me) that the order has been restored. Your mileage, however, may vary.

BZZT. Wrong. Restoring the order is about more than beating a pretty terrible Colorado team (which is what they were at the end of that season).

Nebraska, as of right now, isn't underrated as a program. We haven't been that good for a while. Winning the North, while nice, didn't bring us back in the eyes of the nation. I'd love to see Nebraska restore the order, and think a BCS bowl this year IS a possibility...but as of right now, that poll doesn't shock me at all. A digression: I HATE those shirts that say: Order Restored. They have the date of the 2005 Colorado game on them. Um...no. That game did not do it.

Always seems weird when Spring Games are televised.

I find the idea of a smaller end than Carriker normal.

Not disagreeing with your assessment at all. Technique and fundamentals don't necessarily equate to good players. If it's Ruud vs. Octavien that we're talking about, though...I have to take Ruud. Potentially, Octavien is a monster. Realistically...all I've seen is a guy who gets hurt easily and ends up out of position a lot. And I don't really like Ruud that much. And you know that right now I take Swift over the other wideouts. Purify will probably pass him by, though (and that is FINE if he does...I like Purify a lot!). Hopefully the young guys will show out...I want a sick receiving core. Just needs to be proven. And I really think Shanle is worse than Ricketts. Not saying Ricketts was good, by any stretch...but I felt like our safety play last year just left our corners out to dry.

Potential does NOT equate to good players. I believe that responds to just about your ENTIRE post.

If, if, if. I'm not disagreeing with your hypotheticals. I'm just not selling the players that we actually have down the river. I'm not a Ruud apologist. I think he's decent. He knows the defense. And he hasn't really been hurt a lot. All things I cannot say of Octavien. Also...Grixby gets crapped on a lot. I don't think it's always his fault. If a safety helped the guy out EVER, things would have been a lot different. And no, Taylor is not Montana. But I will say BJax is better than Lucky. Without hesitation. Hopefully, Lucky has improved and will prove me wrong. We'll see, of course. Also...why will we be so much better playing true freshmen? Regardless....you're one of the "potential" people. I'm a bit more realistic. I like to look at the players we have, versus the players I wish we had (ie: I look at what they've actually done on a football field, versus how "athletic" they are, or whatever).

Hmmm...really. I actually can because he has proven it on the effing field. All these magical receivers that are "going to" be so awesome have yet to prove anything. ALL THE POTENTIAL IN THE WORLD MEANS SQUAT TO ME UNTIL I SEE SOME PRODUCTION. Granted, Purify had that for most of the season. But he STILL DIDNT know all of his routes by the end of the season (and, imho, set the tone of the game against Oklahoma with his fumble). So, yes, overall...best wideout on the team. And I just said it with the straightest face ever.

Once again, I'll reiterate: Nate Swift is the best wideout Nebraska has.

And I'd rather have Holt playing then Swift. And Octavien over Ruud. Just because...you know. Athleticism.

Non-story here. For all the doom and gloom that some are spouting, he's a kid. Not every kid is going to be the 35 year old trapped in a 22 year old's body that Zac Taylor was. Sure, it was dumb...but I'm really doubting that this bodes poorly on his leadership abilities as some have said.
