We can pass until Keller's arm falls off––if we can't stop that running game, we might as well throw a white flag before it gets ugly. Disastrous first half on D.

Our defense is an embarrassment to the word "blackshirts". I can't believe the holes that SC is opening. Sickening performance from our D.

I know it's a little late for the Clones to get their honor back after losing to Northern Iowa, but they just won in a heartbreaker against the Hawkeyes (my school, lol). I'm not a Hawk fan by any stretch, so it's good to see the North winning against rivals. And USC must be razed to the ground––TONIGHT!

Hey bro, After watching the V-tech game I must say I have great respect for your team. Solid, solid D, very capable offense. At this point I would put my money on seeing you boys make it to the NC. Good luck. And USC must be razed to the ground.

No I definitely agree with you there. I'm saying that IF he doesn't get the job done against SC for any reason, we need to see if someone else can get the job done. I think he will. But as far as someone being a stud this early in his career, Castille is raising eyebrows every week. And USC must be razed to the ground.

"This weekend, we take our place at the table." Absolutely. Great post, man. Nebraska will never settle for anything less than mastery of the game of football. People who grieve that Callahan could possibly damage our program in the long term I don't think have much reason for worry. If in four years we're standing still, I think we'll see another regime change. We will always do whatever it takes to be the best. But as for this weekend, the table is prepared, the feast is ready, the world is watching. My secret hope is that we don't beat the Trojans. I hope we murder those bastards by the bushel. "We're gunna run through'em like crap through a goose!" Saturday is our day. It's our time. For everyone who's doubted, for everyone who says it can't be done, for everyone who thinks the challenge is beyond us, for all the cynics and grumblers––Go Big Red. And USC must be razed to the ground.

It takes an entire LB corps to bring Castille's honkin' ass down. A guy with his power, freshmen, senior, or whatever, is my answer to an SC squad. Lucky will be the guy, but if we're midway through the second and he's still putting up 1.5 yards per carry, bench his ass. He'll have proved that he isn't getting the job done, and you might as well give another back the chance to make some plays. And USC must be razed to the ground.

Lemme guess, his next question was "Is Chuck Norris's roundhouse kick really that powerful?" Good work. He'll not forget the message, I hope. And USC must be razed to the ground.

Lay off the blow.

Mark May. USC's most valuable propagandist. Al Sharpton. Another guy full of sh#t.

Since you apparently can't understand the title, read these links. Hypothetical Pay close attention to Number 4. Scenario Number 3. And USC must be razed to the ground.

Okay, this is not meant to be a prediction, but I was just sitting here and the thought occured to me, so I'll open it up for discussion. ––– Saturday, Sept. 15: The night settles in with a chill in the air. Fall is here. The Trojans and the Huskers shake hands, exchange complimentary words, and return to the locker room. One team prepares to celebrate, the others prepare for a quiet ride home. Final Score: Nebraska 45, USC 14. The number one team in the nation was obliterated tonight by Nebraska's seemingly underranked defense. The blacksirts tallied up 4 sacks, 2 INTs and 1 FF. Booty was forced to scramble from the pocket all night, but was met with a variety of disguised outise blitzes. The safeties truly stepped up this evening, leaving the former Heisman hopeful stunned and dismayed, and with very few options. He completed a mere 13 of 26 passes. And what's worse, their plethora of touted running backs did little to assuage the agony of an inconsistent passing game, amassing a paltry 126 yards. With their murderous road schedule and the dangers facing them with the LSU Tigers on the prowl if they yet manage to climb into the BCS picture, SC faithful have to be wondering whether or not the future of this season is permenantly stained red. In any case, the question on everyone's mind this evening is where, exactly, did this Husker team come from? Sam Keller, touted transfer from ASU, caught fire midway through the first quarter. After a turnover was placed in his steady hands, he led Bill Callahan's west coast offense on a snappy drive that visibly sucked the will from the Trojan's veteran defense. Marlon Lucky broke a thirty-five yard run on the second play, and the succeeding passes topped off by a three yard smash from freshmen Quentin Castille put the Husker's name on the board and the stadium erupted into a frenzy that didn't die off until the waning seconds of the 4th. Drive after drive the thick Nebraskan front opened holes large and small. It became clear late in the 2nd that Pete Carroll's D-line were not expecting this kind of effort. Fans were beginning to wonder if Lucky and Co. had been possessed with the spirit of ye olden Nebraska. But––and here's the scary part––the passing game was every bit as effective. One thing is for sure: if the Big Red keep up this pace, we've good reason to believe that Callahan will be marching toward and possibly through the South team that shows on December 1st. Rejoice, Husker Nation, after tonight the world remembers your name. –––– What do you think the reaction would be if such a story broke on Sunday morning? What would it mean for the program, Callahan, recruiting, etc.? If Nebraska won such a victory, is it safe to assume that a NC might be a very real possibility in our near future? And what about the following weeks at Ball St. and ISU? Again, NOT a prediction, although wouldn't it be nice. And USC must be razed to the ground.

I definitely appreciate your support and understand your frustration. My brother's an SC alum and most of our buddies are ND fans so he's always giving them all kinds of crap. I try not to get too involved with it, but he sent them this, I was wondering if you've seen it. NDSPN An SC fan bitching out ND for getting all the media hype? WTF? That guy's got balls the size of watermelons. Trojan Central let by Arch Bishop Mark May has a holy crusade in the name of Pete Carroll. Un-believable. And USC must be razed to the ground.

Right or wrong, for players that mentality can make all the difference. When you simply EXPECT perfection from yourself, you don't play timidly. Keller's going to lob that ball downfield and he's going to KNOW that MoPure has got it. Why? Because he's f'ing Sam Keller throwing it to f'ing Mo Purify. In Nebraska, we catch the damn ball. Compare that with the attidude of: "Ho jeez, I really hope we can get a first down here. Boy golly, it sure would be a bummer if we didn't. Hope the O-line blocks. Hope I don't get hit by a 235 lb LB from my blindside. Sure hope Mo is looking. Sure hope I don't throw an INT––coach would be pissed, bad for the morale. Fan base would feel crummy. But if he catches it, boy, that would be swell." You gotta play like you couldn't lose. Condidence breeds confidence. Our whole team needs to go out there with foaming smiles and a maniacle gleam in their eyes. The Trojans have to know that gents, we're coming right at you. Wait 'til you get a load of me. I'll take my chances with a team that believes in themselves. God knows the fans believe in them, and the whole country is pulling for Husker Nation. GBR! And USC must be razed to the ground.

Admittedly it was meant to be a bit exaggeratory.

Let this bad boy pump you up. From Husker Dan (check Huskerpedia.com) Damn straight! Our linebackers, especially, I want to see some passion. Scratch that. Not some. I want our LBs to look like this: "BOOOTAAAAAY!!!! I'M COOOMIIIIN!!!" We need to shake this guy, make him cry. For one game I don't care about late hits, excessive roughing the passer, and all that sissy nonsense. Receivers and TEs should be crashing through players, gatorade stands and the marching band. Hit them again and again and again. And when Booty gets up, spitting blood onto the turf, send in Doc Oc for seconds. Let's see our hallowed Blackshirts get that swagger back. And USC must be razed to the ground!

SOMEbody just stole my look alike submission on the other thread.

LOL!

No...I won't, grandma...if you want a great view, go back to your bingo parlor in the church with the nice stained-glass windows and complain about how Mildred keeps getting 'B-2' to thwart your shot at that crocheted Lawrence Welk blanket you've had your eye on. Want to 'hear' an announcement? Sell your ticket to a real Nebraska fan and sit your *ss at home. HOOOOO!!!!! They might as well remove the seats from the stadium. People should be standing on people's shoulders, and screaming––SCREAMING until their throats are seeping blood. This stadium is going to rock! GOOOOO BIIIIIIG REEEEEeeeeeeed! GO! BIG! RED! And USC must be razed to the ground.

A lesson in coaching, being a gentleman, and overall manliness, you don't jump up and down, scream and get red in the face because you've got a lauded opponent getting on a plane this week. Bill Callahan exemplefies the Nebraska way in his statement, and it's something I can't believe people don't recognize. Day by day, we get better and better, until we can't be beat, won't be beat. Sounds kind of exactly like what he said. He merely mentions the first part, and the rest can be inferred. Bill Callahan's team is breaking huddles with the words "Nation Champions." If that isn't motivated, I don't know what is. And if you think for one minute that the players aren't turning into madmen over the Saturday, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the attitude. They'll be going crazy, and that's the duty of a player in a game like this. But as for our coach, I don't want a maniac. I want a humble, Nebraskan kind of guy who just smiles politely, declines comment, and lets the game decide where he stands. And USC must be razed to the ground.

That sucks. I want to play and beat the Trojans at full strength, so there's nothing left on the field but one hell of a game. People invariably use injuries as an excuse for this or that. In a team as deep as SC, I hope in the event of a loss on your part there's no whining in the media––though I expect there will be regardless. And USC must be razed to the ground.

Well, at least somebody gets it.

Sorry Don't be sorry. Just what I think is all. No no. I'm afraid all that's left to me is to take my own life. I'll wait until late Saturday night, of course, but boy, won't you feel stupid. We'll see who gets the last laugh. And USC must be razed to the ground.
