Finally a thread worth reading :-)

Disappointing end to the season oh well always next year.

Just thought I'd get this started now- pretty excited about the game tonight. Might be a tough game, but it will be interesting to see how the Big XII matches up with the MWC conference. Playing at ND would be awesome too if we win.

Bracket looks like it might be a bit tough- ND most likely if you beat NM. Would be pretty cool if NU got to play Creighton in the 3rd round though.

I'm not sure how having TO as AD translates into better basketball recruits. Osborne is pushing for the Devaney upgrades, and that will help, but if I remember right, that too was part of Pederson's long term plan to improve facilities.

Sadly that legacy would not be his. As much as I hate Pederson for messing up the football program, his hire of Doc Sadler was a great one and Sadler is behind the recent up-surge in our basketball team.

Simple solution- beat Kansas

This kind of shows what I'm saying. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/stats?playerId=160367 -140 yards rushing on the season.

I guess my point really wasn't that Ganz is NFL material, just that he is better NFL material than Harper. Not to dig on the guy too much, I went to the Gator Bowl, and maybe he was just having a bad game, but 1. Harper is exceptionally immobile- he was very slow 2. Harper consistently missed midrange (10-15 yard) Just having a hard time believing that if Harper is 11th on the list, then Ganz isn't anywhere to be seen.

Not sure if everyone can read this but McShay ranked QBs in the upcoming NFL draft. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/ins...tory?id=3904934 It didn't really surprise me that Ganz wasn't on the list, but what stuck out was Cullen Harper at 11. No offense to Clemson fans, but from what I saw at the Gator Bowl, not only is Ganz more mobile than Harper, he also throws the ball better. Although Harper as NFL size, I really can't think of any reason why he should be at 11 at Ganz not mentioned in the QBs not attending the combine.

Win this weekend and this will be a real possibility.

I know I asked for this in the Neb vs UT forum, but I was wondering if anyone has a link to the clip of Sadler's post game interview. ESPN where I was watching cut from the game immediately after it ended, and I only got to see Sadler's post game once on Sportscenter that night.

SportsCenter showed a post game interview with Doc on the court where he was very emotional. Did anyone else see that and if so, does anyone know where I can find a video clip of that?

Great game

Thing that really scares me about this game is that Texas has lost 2 in a row at home. That said, they could wilt under pressure or come to play. Hopefully we can maintain our high level of play that we've shown over the last 4 games (minus the turnovers against CO)

I have to admit I was actually happy when I saw that score- Clemson fans a bunch of nice people.

Don't know if anyone watched the Kansas-Baylor game tonight. It was mostly a plug for their coverage of the game on Saturday, but the announcers were talking about Texas and their upcoming game. Said the game in Lincoln would be a challenge- called the Huskers under Doc Sadler as "feisty." Not too bad of a shout out on national TV.

Yeah I listened to the game online, but after watching Pat Knight's tirade it appears he needs to learn more from his dad than just how to coach...

Don't really agree with that part. Not counting Diaz, who probably won't (and shouldn't) play this year, the tallest players on the team are Chris Balham (6-8) - Doc plays him often but he has been sidelined by injuries. Ben Nelson (The Senator) (6-8) rarely sees quality minutes. Alonzo Edwards- (6-7)- averaging 6 minutes a game as a redshirt freshman Toney McCray (6-6)- averaging 17 minutes a game. Nebraska being the smallest D-I team doesn't mean that it starts the smallest starting lineup. It means that the it has the smallest average height of all players on a team of any D-I team. Having two 6-8, 1 6-7, and 6-6 player does not qualify as having plenty of big guys to me.

I care and so do others but I think the season which once had a lot of promise is slowly slipping away.

*cry*

36 minutes til tip-off LETS GET FIRED UP

K too close for comfort but good win down the stretch

List doesn't have Steve Fairchild as Colorado State. Also, Rick Neuheisel is a joke.

It might just be me, but when I looked at the upper deck, the Clemson side had open seats in the corners while our side looked more full.
