Happy New Year!

I've been out of the loop for a while now with regards to any rumors or hub bub in Lincoln, but I came across a bit today. I was told that Watson has lost like 15 pounds this season due to stress and regardless of any outcomes wants the heck out of Lincoln. If this is true, everyone will get their wish because he doesn't want to be the OC here next year. If he doesn't want to be in Lincoln, then turn in the resignation papers. Happy trails to you!!!

BYE BYE So sorry your life is so bad that this is the only thing that gives you pleasure.

That's it, I'm going to bed -- no need to stay up and watch this! Happy New Year all!

This morning? For those of us on the East Coast!

Somebody wants him for a head coach?

Wait, did we just get the ball?

STOP THE PENALITIES BOYS! Pathetic!

Are there ever any broadcasters that actually are for Nebraska. It just seems like all the broadcasters are so excited when things don't go Nebraska's way.

LOL

How was that pass interference?

Wow, don't know if I want to stay up all night watching this or not.

Just got home, but man, this team looks awful!

I was in Africa during his tenure. I remember listening VOA and the had the news of his passing. I've read the book One Final Pass. It is a good read. He sounds like he was a fine young man.

Cool gift! I got two new sweatshirts, two Christmas ornaments, two NE gnomes, and a really super neat Nebraska bag. It was a very merry Nebraska Christmas to me!

From my current home in NC it is 1,187 miles. From where I used to live in Yaounde, Cameroon, it says cannot calculate directions from Yaounde Centre to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE. It is a far piece, I can tell you that!

Congratulations!

I like.

Wow -- I enjoyed this article too!

Thanks for this -- I might use it sometime!

Actually, I have lived in 11 states over my time as a Husker fan.. and knowledgeable college football fans in every state have been really complimentary of the Nebraska way of football. The regard for Osborne and the the way he went about winning and doing so with decorum and class has been appreciated by many non-NU fans. The media, in general all across the nation, holds (or held) the NU way generally very positively until recently. Opponents writers have written countless articles on how well they, their fans, players and coaches were treated by NU and it's fans. Of course, there too has been negative articles all along as well --- everybody gets those. But few, very few, get the positive accolades from their opponents like NU has for decades. So... what I am saying is that the NU program has been regarded as classy by many non-NU fans. Now what has it gotten us, you ask? Seems to be an illicit premise. One is not classy for self-serving gain --- one is classy simply because being classy is simply the right thing to do. The article by this gal from Oklahoma illustrates clearly that she has had (as have many)a deep respect for the NU program. And, she is lamenting --- as a non-NU fan --- that her ability to respect the program has been diminished. It is in this that she is being fair, honest... and at the same time scathing. Scathing in the sense not that she is being mean --- she is actually being kind. It is scathing in that the truth is painful.. for her assessment of how the character of the program is being projected now is very accurate. What was once a program worthy of respect is becoming less so. Again, hopefully it is a blip that in time will go away, reverting back to where it should be ... and not the beginning of a downward trend. only time will tell. Agree. I remember one time when I encountered a person from PA and they were telling me how embarrassed they were with the Penn State fans when NU played them in PA one time. Evidentally, NU got a very bad welcome. However, this person was impressed with how "classy" the NU fans handled the not so welcome welcome

You are a Husker for life not just when they are winning. I like this! This is what my dad always told me! Alas, today is the first anniversary of his death! So this was a nice reminder of my dad!

I have no problem with aTm. You can count on this husker cheering for aTm when they play texas!

Are the refs against us because we are leaving the conference? If so, how ARE they going to officiate the Colorado game because isn't Colorado leaving the Big 12? If both of us are leaving the conference, they won't know who to penalize if indeed they are angry about defection.

I wish this thing was over
