Another Duster here, Husker37...
Currently in Grand Bay, AL via Holdrege, NE.

to answer the original question......
yes and only if NU is the only undefeated team at the end of the season. if Florida is undefeated and USC has only one loss, then NU doesnt even play in the NC game.
NU will start off the season not ranked in the Top 25, and will have a lot of ground to make up by the end of the year. NU will not start the season ranked very high until it can prove they are consistant winners again
Well, USC only had one loss last year and still got juked out of the NC game, so it's possible they may not make it if they have one loss.
THERE IS NOT ONE GAME ON OUR SCHEDULE THAT I WOULD CONCEED PRIOR TO PLAYING. I'm pretty sure Bo feels the same way, and hopefully the entire team shares that mindset. So, to answer the question, YES, it can happen! GO BIG RED!!

He wasn't a bust
I agree. He wasn't a bust...He was BUSTED...many, many, many times..........

“So many people kept asking me about it, everywhere I go,” Glenn said. “That was the rumor out there, so I just said, ’OK, yeah, I sold tickets.’
Dare I say, "out there" included "in here?" Huskerboard is famous!!

Next twist, please.
Washington draft pick Cody Glenn has admitted that he lied when he told reporters that his suspension at Nebraska last season stemmed from his selling football tickets.
Glenn told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he made up the story about selling his tickets, which would have been a violation of NCAA rules. The fifth-round pick said he wanted to satisfy reporters and get them to quit asking him about the suspension.
“It was me being dumb, just trying to have people leave me alone,” Glenn said. “It’s something I said that I probably shouldn’t have, looking at it now.”

NU athletic department officials told the Journal star on Monday that they had no knowledge of Glenn selling tickets.
Glenn spoke with department officials Tuesday morning to clear things up.
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini suspended Glenn in November for the last three games, saying the linebacker violated team rules.
Glenn on Tuesday refused to disclose the real reason for his suspension, saying it was between him and Pelini.
The suspension spawned numerous rumors on fan message boards. Glenn said he went with the ticket story because he knew that was one of the rumors circulating about him.
“So many people kept asking me about it, everywhere I go,” Glenn said. “That was the rumor out there, so I just said, ’OK, yeah, I sold tickets.’
“It was just so people would kind of leave me alone, just to get them an answer, for people who had to have an answer. There’s so much I’m going through, trying to finish up school. And to have people constantly nagging in my ear about ‘What did you do?’ blah, blah, blah. I got tired of that. That’s all that is. I didn’t mean to confuse anyone.”
After Washington selected him Sunday, he told reporters covering the team: “I got caught up with selling some tickets I wasn’t supposed to. I did it, and I got caught up in it. Coach Pelini had to do what he had to do, but it wasn’t nothing really big. It was just something where they didn’t want to hurt the team.”
Glenn said he didn’t think his original comment would create such a stir. He said he got caught up in the excitement of the moment after being picked surprisingly high.
“I’m trying to enjoy everything that happened Sunday with the draft,” he said. “All of a sudden, I can’t win for losing. I want to put this behind me and start clean in Washington and start playing football.”

quote that appeared in Monday’s Washington Post newspaper attributed to former Husker linebacker Cody Glenn was a surprise to some Nebraska officials.
After being drafted in the fifth round by Washington on Sunday, Glenn told The Post that he was suspended for NU’s final two regular-season games last year and the Gator Bowl because he had scalped tickets — which would be an NCAA violation.
That was a revelation to many.
“It was news to us too,” said Josh White, Nebraska’s assistant athletic director who handles NCAA compliance issues. “I don’t think it’s the case. ... I think Cody was trying to represent himself better.”
Glenn didn’t immediately return phone messages.
“I got caught up selling some tickets that I wasn’t supposed to be doing,” Glenn told The Post. “Coach Pelini did what he had to do.”
Husker head coach Bo Pelini has been mum on the reason for Glenn’s suspension since it happened in November. Asked for comment on Glenn’s quote, Pelini referred through a spokesman to his statement he had given on Nov. 11 when Glenn was initially suspended.
That statement read that Glenn had been suspended indefinitely from the Husker program for a violation of team rules. The statement concluded that “Coach Pelini has said that he, the remainder of the coaching staff and players will have no further comment on this matter.”
Gary Bargen, who, like White, is a Husker assistant athletic director for compliance issues, was attempting to reach Glenn but hadn’t talked to him about the matter as of early Monday afternoon.
“I have to talk to him again but we have never been informed that there were any NCAA violations at all,” Bargen said of ticket scalping.
Washington head coach Jim Zorn told The Post the organization thoroughly investigated Glenn’s suspension before drafting him.
The Journal Star is in the process of trying to reach the organization for comment.

"hi, my name's zac. this is my quarterback kody. and this is my other quarterback cody."
Wow...a Newhart reference on a Husker football blog...may be the first one ever! Nice!

WE ARE IN TOP 5
BTW, Bama is 6.
Ohio Pete...beat me by a couple seconds...darn slow work internet!
So, this leaves:
NU
OU
ND
OSU
USC
But in what order??
My guess is this:
OU
ND
USC
NU
OSU
My realistic guess would be:
Sooners
Huskers (I think our 90s can equal Trojans 2000s, our 70s can hang with their 70s, and our 80s putting us over the top, while their 90s killed them)
Trojans
Buckeyes (due to recent success)
Irish (due to lack of recent success...since 70s)

She bought home two clemson cans from 1981 with all the scores on them, it is tearing her up that I am smiling all the time.
Is this the can you are talking about?
Why don't they just call it, Orange Crushed?
Not sure if this is a coincidence, but when I opened mine, it had lost all its fizzle over time...

My parents have a six pack of those still to this day, and a six pack of coke with tiger paws on them?
My parents live in Fountain Inn, and must have 20 cans...because they are always handing them out. They gave this one to my buddy in Jacksonville the day before the Gator Bowl, and it is still in the back of my truck.

I think Ganz succeeded this year and the end of last year, because he had the respect of the players on the team and Keller did not. That to me was evident when Ganz came in after Keller was hurt. IMO. BC just wanted to have his star shine and it back fired on him. I wish I could find the article that I read with Ganz stating that he had to basically step aside and keep his mouth shut. I believe it was his home town paper or something.
I believe this is the article you are talking about....
http://www.southtownstar.com/sports/136718...feature.article
This excerpt in particular:
That was a bad situation," Ganz said of the QB controversy. "I grew up with a lot of the guys in the program. I didn't think it was right to have him (Keller) just come in, sit out a year and then start. But he was 6-4, 240 pounds. You know, the prototype quarterback. Once he was named starter, I didn't want to be a cancer to the team. I had to be patient, keep working hard and keep my mouth shut."

I, like a lot of folks on here, got frustrated at times by Lucky's running style. Did he live up to the hype? The better question is, could anyone have lived up to the hype he brought? There was a segment on 1620 yesterday where they interviewed Marlon...I would recommend everyone listen to it...he sounds like he has his head on straight, and it made me appreciate Marlon the person more, as I had been rough on Marlon the player for a while. Regardless, 4th on NU all time yardage chart...that's pretty darn good.
Good luck Marlon, thanks for the great job you did!
Go Big Red!

Alright! Great news! Suh is gonna continue to be a great example for these younger guys, and a great presence on this team!!

6. 2009 Gator Bowl
Nebraska 26 … Clemson 21
Nebraska was awful early and great late. Clemson took a 14-3 lead into halftime on a 28-yard fumble return for a score from DeAndre McDaniel and a 25-yard Aaron Kelly touchdown catch, and then the Huskers turned it on with four straight scores in the third quarter. Clemson got a 41-yard Jacoby Ford touchdown catch to answer a brilliant 17-yard Nate Swift scoring grab, but the Huskers scored the final 16 points of the game. Todd Peterson kicked off the run with a 19-yard touchdown catch, and then it was all defense with Clemson holding the Huskers to three Alex Henery field goals, a 28-yarder late in the third proving to be the game-winner, and Nebraska finishing with just four rushing yards allowed. Clemson had the ball late with one last shot, but its drive stalled on the Nebraska 26 with a misfire to Jacoby Ford with 1:32 to play.
Player of the Game: Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh made eight tackles, two sacks, four tackles for loss, and came up with a blocked kick.
Stat Leaders: Clemson - Passing: Cullen Harper, 17-37, 206 yds, 2 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: James Davis, 12-26. Receiving: Aaron Kelly, 6-74
Nebraska - Passing: Joe Ganz, 19-36, 236 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Quentin Castille, 18-125. Receiving: Todd Peterson, 4-96, 1 TD
Inside The Box Score ... 5 Thoughts on the Gator Bowl …Rushing yards: Nebraska 125 – Clemson 4 … Third down conversions: Nebraska 7-of-19 – Clemson 3-of-16 … Red Zone Scores: Nebraska 3-of-3 – Clemson 1-of-3 … Sacks: Nebraska 5-for-44 yards – Clemson 0-for-0 … Clemson’s Chris Clemons led all defenders with 10 tackles
Like I've said...being at this game could not have been better for excitement/drama purposes, but was very frustrating watching the Husker give Clemson all their points off of turnovers. Overall, would not trade it for anything, as it made an awesome trip! All that matters is the final score, and getting that W.

22. Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Cornhuskers made big strides under first-year coach Bo Pelini. So much so that they might be ready to challenge Kansas for the Big 12 North title in 2009. To take the next step, though, Nebraska will have to replace most of its skill players. Quarterback Joe Ganz, I-back Marlon Lucky and receivers Nate Swift and Todd Peterson are all departing. Seven starters will be back on defense if nose tackle Ndamukong Suh returns for his senior season.
All I can say is....Notre Dame at 18??? Give me a break.

I would like to point out that if it wasn’t for Coz there would be no Bo or Joe Ganz.
Great point...I have no ill-will towards the man, and it was terrible some of the stuff he put up with as far as threats and that type of thing...but I sure am glad we have the Pelini brothers and staff in place now.
And, as far as I've heard, the players had nothing against him, and enjoyed his friendship. However, he was not here to coach his "friends." I just don't think he had the "killer attitude" you would expect for a D-coordinator. Just my thoughts.

University of Minnesota head football coach Tim Brewster named Kevin Cosgrove as the Gophers’ co-defensive coordinator Friday. In addition, Brewster announced the promotion of defensive backs coach Ronnie Lee to co-defensive coordinator.
“We are very excited to announce Kevin Cosgrove as our new co-defensive coordinator,” Brewster said. “Coach Cosgrove brings a wealth of experience in the Big Ten as both a coach and recruiter. Plus, he possesses a long track record of developing outstanding defenses. But, perhaps more importantly, Kevin is a great person and an outstanding fit on our staff.
Ronnie Lee“Ronnie Lee has done a tremendous job since joining our staff here at Minnesota,” Brewster added. “I’m very pleased to reward him with this promotion. Ronnie has proven himself to be an excellent coach and recruiter. I look forward to him having an expanded role on our defensive staff.”
Cosgrove has 13 seasons of experience as an NCAA Division I defensive coordinator and 28 seasons of collegiate coaching experience. He was named the top coordinator in the Big Ten by The Sporting News in 2002 and was named one of the top coordinators in the nation by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. in 1999. Cosgrove was also inducted into the Wisconsin Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 2008.
“I’m thrilled to be back in the Big Ten,” Cosgrove said. “I’m definitely excited about the opportunity to work with Tim Brewster and an outstanding A.D. in Joel Maturi at the University of Minnesota. I’m very familiar with Minnesota. I always felt that this program had great potential and I’m glad to have the opportunity to work here.”
Cosgrove served as defensive coordinator at Nebraska from 2004-2007.During his four seasons with the Huskers, Cosgrove mentored seven first- or second-team All-Big 12 defenders. Nebraska won the Big 12 North Championship in 2006 and played in the 2005 Alamo and 2006 Cotton Bowls with Cosgrove as defensive coordinator.
Under Cosgrove, Nebraska led the nation in sacks (4.17 per game) and tackles for loss (10.33) in 2005. He led the Husker defense to top 25 rankings in scoring defense and pass efficiency defense in both 2005 and 2006.
Prior to his time at Nebraska, Cosgrove was the defensive coordinator at Wisconsin from 1995 through 2003. He spent a total of 14 seasons (1990-2003) on the Badgers’ staff, serving as linebackers coach from 1990-94. Cosgrove has coached a total of 22 seasons in the Big Ten.
Cosgrove helped Wisconsin to three Big Ten championships and nine bowl appearances with a 7-2 record in bowl games. Included in those seven victories were three Rose Bowl wins. In addition to the defensive coordinator role, Cosgrove also coached the linebackers at Wisconsin. He coached linebackers who led the Big Ten in tackles three times.
With Cosgrove as defensive coordinator, Wisconsin won Big Ten titles in 1993, 1998 and 1999. The Badgers followed all three of those championships up with Rose Bowl wins.
In addition to his coaching experience at Nebraska and Wisconsin, Cosgrove has coached at Illinois (1980-82 graduate assistant; 1983-87 linebackers); Morehead State (1983 linebackers); Southeast Missouri State (1988 defensive coordinators/linebackers); and Colorado State (1989 linebackers).
Cosgrove has a strong reputation as a recruiter. He has recruited numerous players who went on to All-America and all-conference collegiate careers and several who went on to play in the National Football League. He was named one of the nation’s top recruiters by CSTV recruiting expert Tom Lemming in 2006.
Cosgrove played collegiately at Benedictine College (Ill.) in 1974 and from 1976-78 at Wisconsin-Oshkosh. He earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from UW-Oshkosh in 1980.
Cosgrove and his wife Shelly have two sons, Clint and Connor, and a daughter, Shannon. Clint Cosgrove has served as a graduate assistant at Minnesota for the past two seasons.
Lee has been the Gophers’ defensive backs coach for the past two seasons. In the past two seasons, two of Lee’s protégés – Dom Barber and Traye Simmons – have been named Second-Team All-Big Ten selections. Barber was selected by the Houston Texans in the 2008 NFL Draft and played in 12 games, recording 15 tackles this past season. Twelve of Lee’s collegiate players have played in the NFL.
During the 2008 season, Lee’s starting cornerbacks – Simmons and Marcus Sherels – ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the Big Ten in passes defended. Combined, the Gophers’ secondary tallied 11 interceptions and 38 passes broken up for a total of 49 passes defended this past season.
Lee was part of a major improvement by the Minnesota defense in 2008. In 2007, the Gophers ranked 119th in total defense, improving to 80th in 2008. Minnesota’s scoring defense improved from 109th to 61st last season, while the Gophers’ pass efficiency defense moved from 116th to 78th.
Lee coached the secondary at Michigan in 2006 and was the defensive backs coach at Wisconsin from 2003-05. He served as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at San Jose State from 2001-02. Lee coached the defensive backs at Colorado State from 1993-2000 and has also coached at Idaho, Portland State and Miami (Fla.). He has also completed three NFL Summer Fellowships during his career.
Lee was a four-year letterman at Washington State as a player. He led the Pac-10 Conference in fumbles forced during the 1986 season. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Washington State in 1989.
No mention of 2007? That's strange!

My next project is finding the transcript from this press conference or press release! I want to know the University's explanation...
