Does anybody know who the play-by-play commentator was for the Missouri game in '06? He was, at least in my mind, by far the best announcer we had all year, and even without comparing him to the other games he just seemed like he was really good in general. Lots of emotion when he called the plays, as can be seen best in Hawsker's mizzou highlight video. Was just wondering who he might be..

Missouri eh? Someone get ahold of Gabbert to call this kid!

Well, glad USC fans can't stay on topic either. Trojan, I have no idea why you're bringing up Oregon and crowd noise, the only comment I made was about the OU/UO game last year and OU getting screwed. Had nothing to do with noise or USC. Nice try, though. Why would I care how loud Oregon is...NU doesn't play them.

 

My comment about Auburn was, you haven't played them in the last 3 years. You beat them 4...I'll spell it out...'four' years ago. Your failure to pick up on that to quickly 'insert your sarcasm here' shows you are more about knocking people down who question you than understand what is actually being brought to your attention. Because you couldn't include anything USC/Auburn related in that time period, I had to guess you wanted to discuss NU's game last year. However, I wasn't including your victory before that time because my relevancy of college football for a team that is on the west coast playing an SCC team, either one I could care less about, has a shelf-life of about two years' max. So sorry if I am not reading about Pete Carroll's hometown, Reggie Bush's parent's new house, or the life as a DE for the Trojans in the 1960's.

 

If you really want to talk about winning percentages and back-to-back National Titles...well, you're preaching to the choir, my friend. And Westgate, before you become a Trojan-hugger, pay attention to the thread, please.

 

There is hope for you though, Trojan, if you are a Tarheel b-ball fan...that is my guilty pleasure...I love Tarheel basketball...maybe we can share warm fuzzies that way.

The Oregon comments that trojan made were directed towards the post that went like this, in addition to the other talk about how usc doesn't play in any hostile environments:

Booty will face the loudest and most hostile crowd he's ever faced.

So stop ragging eh?

Not to take away from his amazing ability on the field....but does anyone know what kind of a student he is? He already seems to be a class act, just by listening to the interviews, but I am one that likes to look at the entire person, not just what they do on a football field (ahem, Lawrence Phillips =\ )

hey guys, i'm looking to sell my playstation portable and my pc this summer to have some extra cash going into college (that cash is going to be used to buy a playstation 3 and build a new pc, rofl)

Interesting debate...here's my take:

In 2005, we were one play away from a 9 win season, with that one play being against a, in my mind, underrated #15 Texas Tech team. People seem to lose sight of this game in these transitional years, and what kind of effect winning it would have. If I remember correctly, we cracked the Top 25 rankings that week with the Iowa State win the week before. If we would have beaten the 15th ranked team in the nation that day, it would have been humongous for our program (potentially, but of course with the butterfly effect theory it could have turned out worse). The next year, we were one fumble away from a 10 win season, and extremely close to an 11 win season with the Auburn game and closer than people think to a 12 win season against Oklahoma. In my mind, we are already there. Sure, all the points that were brought up in the previous post, the lack of depth, the quarterback situation, etc. are all valid, but this is a special team that finds ways to compete with the best REGARDLESS of all the flaws. Having said that, I think that if things go well for Nebraska this year and we win the big games we need to win, with the help of a very tough schedule, we could very well be in a chance to play in the championship game, depending on how the big xii championship goes of course. If things take a rough turn like they did in 2006, and we are still just one tiny step away from those big wins, I think that 2009 will be the year to wait for. However there is still a good chance that we could have a very good season in 07, but one loss would send us into a BCS bowl that isn't the championship game, which is perfectly fine with me. I would prefer climbing the ladder to a top 5 ranking and a possible championship bid, seemingly coming out of nowhere, but if we get up to a good bcs bowl this year and remain in the top 10 afterwards it will help us in the long run with BCS standings and starting off higher than the last few years.

Ugh, I kind of started rambling at the end of that, but I got it through I think..

You guys DO understand that it was not a beef against Nebraska, but rather a love for all the other teams such as '05 texas and '04 usc that drove him to act so childishly, right?

I am not condoning his behavior by any stretch of the imagination, but come on, Herbstreit likes Nebraska just fine (maybe not so much the Nebraska teams of past, but he has no beef with Nebraska now). In '05, he said that Lil Red was his favorite mascot, and after the Alamo Bowl he seemed happy that Nebraska won and was very encouraging to all Husker fans. Granted, he was an absolute idiot on national tv, but also granted, he did have a good point for the '71 team.

Hmmm, i didn't see this thread when I posted my wallpaper thread....my mistake!

"See that guy over there? His hair smelt horrible!"

YOu know, for the size of Columbus, there really are way too many bars in this town.. just a tought

The Alamo Bowl broadcast was one of the best I have seen and heard in past years...tirico always does a nice job, and Herbstreit did fine too, albeit sounding like he was trying to hard to know what he was talking about. He even said nice things about how he was happy for Bill and telling Nebraska fans to be patient because the future holds bright things, or something to that effect. Plus, I can never forget his gasp on the end play when the michigan player got hit out, "OH MY GOSH!!". haw haw

The Cotton Bowl, on the other hand, was the worst broadcast for a bowl game I have ever seen, entirely because of the commentary. I can honestly only remember 4 or 5 plays from that game, not counting the 4th and 11, hail mary passes at the end and the botched punt reverse. Pat Summerall may do a decent job on paper, but he is SO BORING! His monotone death rattle, coupled with an 11am gametime when I had been up late the night before, made that bowl game one to forget, especially because of the lackluster "lasting impression" from the 2nd half.

y helo thar, nice to see all my fellow redclad supporters. i guess the thing to do is fill out this little questionaire, so here you are..

1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation?

unofficially for 17 years, but i've only really, really gotten involved and into the sports over the last few years (just maturing i guess )

2) What/who led you to The Nation?

my family? the state? not really sure how to answer this one

3) Where are you from originally?

I was born in Sioux City, moved to Jamestown North Dakota at the age of 2, and then to Nebraska at the age of 8, but always been a Husker fan.

4) Where do you live now?

Columbus

5) Favorite Husker memory?

I was going to say my first game attendance, but since that was against southern mississippi in '04, that would be lying. so instead, i would have to say the '05 alamo bowl (like i said, i'm still a rookie)

6) Worst Husker memory?

the repeated chances at greatness snatched away (texas tech, texas)

7) Number of home games attended?

two so far, looking to change that quite a bit now that i'm out of the house and into higher education

8) Number of away games attended?

heh, none

9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel?

i have a very simple white nebraska t-shirt that for some unknown reason, really appeals to me

10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.

couldn't say, i like to watch different games at different places and with different surroundings every week

11) Favorite all time player?

this is really tough, and call me cliche all you want, but i will go with zac taylor, mainly because he is the face of nebraska quarterbacks that i have been in contact with and familiar with more than any other

12) WCO or Option?

i'm split down the middle; the option is the funnest offense in football history, and is equally as fun to watch, but the wco is also quite fun and is a healthy change

13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne?

pederson will do

14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker?

lil red (and NOT because i'm a rook), i mean he freaking bounces on his head!

15) Favorite Husker play?

Frazier's run, Crouch throwback, or even better, taylor's attempt at a reception

16) Favorite game-day beverage?

heh, diet pepsi or lemonade

17) How did you find HuskerBoard? (referral source)

my pal google

there you have it (i am only 17 years old, just for the record)

look forward to posting with you guys

Very nicely made sig, quaint and stylish. The only thing I don't like is that there are too many people that call the wiggins kick in 97 "the catch", so i never know what to expect !

I made these wallpapers using practice pictures from the spring, just bored one night!
