  1. If I was a recruit I would get mad if coaches were constantly texting me. First off, I would laugh because it would be hilarious to me to see a coach use internet acronyms like "lol" and abbreviations like "w/e", but i mean, IIII have to pay for those texts..
  2. It's easy to talk when your team is on the list. LOL
  3. Haha, you'd have better luck asking on a USC board.
  4. Really needs a stroke on the outside of it. My friend played against Eric Crouch in a dodgeball tournament not too long ago, and he said that he pretty much sucked :lol Wonder why that is, I mean he is a quarterback and all
  5. Has he even actually visited or anything like that? I agree with the general feeling here that he will leave as soon as LSU offers, but if we can get him here on a visit for say, the USC game, there is a chance that he might be more solid with this choice.
  6. Is there any new news on this guy? I know we already got Gabbert at quarterback, and to be honest I wouldn't really want a legitimate dual-threat quarterback in our WCO, but he could be amazing as a WR, SS, or basically any other position on the field!
  7. I figured I would try one or a few recruiting threads, even though I don't actually have a subscription to Scout or Rivals! Bio: In nine games for Sierra in 2006, Moore posted 60 catches for 970 yards and eight touchowdns. Um yeah this is pretty lame, but he is a 5 star recruit on scout, and a ju co guy. Don't laugh at my thread ok guys?
  8. Engine will run a lot smoother at 60 fps so it'll be noticeably different. Graphics look bad because the file is shrunk. You can keep being a digital sunshine pumper if you want, but I'm going to remain objective. Sure the engine will run smoother, but that doesn't stop the players from moving from animation to animation in the blink of an eye and also doing things that normal humans just do not do. For example, on one of the NCAA 08 vids out there, someone is playing as a quarterback in Superstar mode. They hand it off to the runningback, and the quarterback starts to take off after him down the field (looks pretty nice). As soon as he gets tackled, less than a half a second after the quarterback starts sprinting one direction, he turns around and does this really weird, goat-like prance the other way. Also, if you read hands-on previews from IGN and Gamespot, they'll tell you that the graphics look identical to last year's.
  9. Last I heard it comes out on July 17th, and yeah there will be a PS2 version. borNred, I agree, for some reason EA decided to spend all of their dev time on features and virtually no time on the gameplay engine, or the graphics. Still a LOT of things wrong with this in my eyes, but we will see come release date.
  10. I have no idea who FS #28 and HB#33 are, but they both made some nice plays! Also, Keller to Swift for the TD against Missouri.....ftw take this Mizzou http://www.gamespot.com/video/938464/61705...ameplay-movie-1 http://www.gamespot.com/video/938464/61705...ameplay-movie-2
  11. I would like to get one, but then I remember how there is roughly a 60% chance that it will break and I will have to pay to get it fixed. So I will stick with my PS3, that has a less than 10% chance of breaking, at least according to the studies!
  12. I think he was watching videos of all the schools and mistakenly picked Wisconsin because of their identical-to-Nebraska uniforms
  13. Do you guys not remember Nate Swift leading the team in receptions in 2005 as a true freshman? He came up pretty damn big and had an impact.
  14. The computer I'm looking to sell for around $550, or obviously the best offer given to me And like it says, that's without a harddrive. But if I get a good deal I might throw in some extra goodies with it
  15. For some reason, I just can't see that ever happening in real life...oh wait, what's that? Oh, ok I understand now. NCAA 08's fans are actually just the same 10 models repeated over and over again? So there really aren't tens of thousands of people there, but only 10? OK that makes more sense...
  16. IGN, the gaming and everything-else-that-is-interesting news website empire that I have come to love, has just lost a ton of respect. Just a few days ago, they released a feature article entitled "NCAA Football 08: Home Field Advantage". The article depicts the top 10 "toughest places to play int he country, along with screenshots of each stadium". Here is how the list goes, I will space them out so as to draw out the suspense for where Nebraska will land. (In order from most to least toughest) http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/794/794559p1.html 1. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Florida With more than 88,000 seats, the Swamp is the largest stadium in the state of Florida. Former coach Steve Spurrier so named the Swamp in 1991 when he said, "The swamp is where Gators live. We feel comfortable there, but we hope our opponents feel tentative. A swamp is hot and sticky and can be dangerous." If opponents can manage the heat --temperatures often hit 100 degrees -- the defending national football (and basketball) champions probably will. The Gators are 14-0 at home under coach Urban Meyer. EA Sports is definitely not the first to believe that Florida has one of the greatest home-field advantages in college football and all of sports. 2. Ohio Stadium, Ohio State Ohio Stadium is known as the Horseshoe because of its distinctive architectural design. Big Ten opponents call it hell on earth. With a capacity of 101,000 fans, the Shoe is the fourth-largest stadium in the country and also one of the loudest thanks to the intimate seating arrangements. Opponents unable to handle the pressure will most likely become immortalized as a Buckeye leaf on the helmets of Ohio State players after getting creamed. Buckeyes with helmets full of leaves have a good shot of being named an All American and getting a tree planted in their honor in Buckeye Grove, located in the southwest corner of the stadium. And if you need an arsenal of assault rifles, don't forget about former running back Maurice Clarett. 3. Tiger Stadium, LSU Nicknamed Death Valley, Tiger Stadium is so loud that even its nickname has a nickname: Deaf Valley. In its history, the noise has been so loud that fans in the surrounding area have come out of their homes to see just what the noise was all about. In 1988 when the Tigers scored a game-winning touchdown against Auburn, the celebration was so great that it registered on a university seismograph, a day that became known as "The Night the Tigers Moved the Earth." Ranked sixth in attendance in 2006, Tiger Stadium is a frightful place to play for opponents, and on Saturday nights it becomes the sixth largest city in the entire state. 4. Beaver Stadium, Penn State The second largest stadium in the country -- only a few hundred seats behind The Big House -- Beaver Stadium continue to get bigger as Joe Paterno gets older. Named after a former Pennsylvania governor (rather than a favorite sorority), Beaver Stadium has been the home of Penn State football since 1909, about the same year Paterno got his driver license, we're almost certain. We kid. JoePa was the all-time winningest coach before Bobby Bowden eclipsed him, but the two are still only separated by just a few wins. Entering his 57th season, he could steal the record back inside Beaver. 5. Lane Stadium, Virginia Tech Loud. This place is loud. Va-Tech fans get more excited for their home games than a Michael Vick sanctioned pit bull battle. With the addition of new sections in the south end zone -- inspired after the old Cleveland Dawg Pound -- Lane continues to grow, now topping out at about 65,000 seats. While Tech has yet to emerge as a truly elite program -- the team reached a pinnacle with Vick at the helm in 1999 when the Hokies lost to Florida State in the national title game -- the hostile environment is always enough to intimidate opponents. Or make them go deaf. 6. Neyland Stadium, Tennessee With a capacity of just over 104,000, Neyland Stadium is the third largest football stadium in the country and a site to behold. Crazed fans pack it in every Vols' home game, and the magnitude and noise alone is enough to rattle any visiting player. After a game on this famed turf you'll be seeing orange and white for weeks. And you probably won't be able to get rid of the smell of delicious Tennessee barbecue, either. 7. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, USC The Coliseum is home to a number of teams over the years, including the LA Raiders, LA Rams and rival UCLA Bruins. It's also where Jack Bauer foiled the plans of a sinister terrorist group in 24, season 2. We're not sure exactly why this particular stadium is so high on the list of toughest stadiums. We suppose players could be distracted by the super-model coeds littering the stands. Most likely, it's because USC is always loaded with talent, a tradition that continues in 2007. And because players' parents get student housing discounts. In other news, Reggie Bush went to USC... 8. DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, Texas Hook 'em horns! Constructed in 1924, Texas Memorial Stadium was renamed in 1996 after Darrell K Royal, the legendary Longhorns coach that guided the team to three national titles. Texas is stocked with tradition, including the Hook 'em horns hand signal (named the nation's top hand signal by Sports Illustrated!), to Bevo, the famed longhorn cow present at every home game, to Smokey the Cannon, the cannon that is fired after every Horns' score. You may also get a contact high if you spot Ricky Williams in the stands. 9. Michigan Stadium, Michigan They don't call it The Big House for nothing. With a capacity of more than 107,000 -- sometimes exceeding 110,000 when you add in staff, players and scantily-clad cheerleaders -- Michigan Stadium is the largest football stadium in the country. The chants of "Go Blue" rain down on Big Ten opponents every fall, and in 2003 fans piled in to set an NCAA record for attendance with 112,118 fans against Ohio State. Hail to the victors indeed. 10. Notre Dame Stadium, Notre Dame Home to Touchdown Jesus, Notre Dame is the house that Rockne Built. Constructed in 1930 and expanded to hold a capacity of more than 80,000 rabid Irish fans, the turf in South Bend is alive with ghosts. If the sheer history alone isn't enough to intimidate you --- Notre Dame has won 11 national titles, nine of them since the stadium's construction -- then playing every game on national television just might, thanks to the annual NBC TV deal. If you're still not scared, watch out for Charlie Weis's beer gut. OH! Don't worry about not seeing Memorial Stadium on there, I haven't posted the honorable mentions yet! IGN Honorable Mentions: Texas A&M, Clemson, Oregon, Georgia, Auburn, Wisconsin. Double-u...........tee...............eff
  17. I wouldn't say that the off-season by itself was more optimistic, but rather our view of it was optimistic because we had incredible momentum going into it from the Colorado and Michigan wins. Since we ended this season with losses to Auburn and Oklahoma, it puts a haze over the off-season already.
  18. Hahaha, for some reason that reminded me of Star Wars Ep. IV "You've never heard of the millenium falcon? She ran the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs" "WHAT?! YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF SAM KELLER?!?! HE RAN THE 40-YARD DASH IN 25 METERS!"
  19. Yup, that would be me. Cannot believe we aren't even in the top 10!!!!! OR EVEN AN HONORABLE MENTION! No kidding dude. I commented about the red-out at south bend in 2000, and how it doesn't make sense that those fans that our OCEAN of red washed over make the list but we don't.
  20. My personal favorite... "When Matt Slauson jumps in a pool, he doesn't get wet, the water gets Matt Slauson."
  21. what problems are we talking about? Mo and his 2 arrests? what else has happened during the offseason that is so bad? How about all of the stud recruiting commits that backed out on us at the last minute? What about Kenny Wilson breaking his foot, or Lucky's hospitalization crisis? I don't know if Jackson declaring for the draft counts or not, but that is also definitely a blow to the team. Those are just a few that I remember.
  22. They still moved like robots last year Also, Huskeraddict, are you the same huskeraddict that commented right before me on the ign feature for the top 10 stadiums to play in? oh the shame
  23. Heh, I guess I should have waited to make mine until there were better templates available, but here it is anyways (without a specific console) I made this probably two months ago
  24. IDK, I would have never expected the fake-walk-off-the-field play that we ran against Colorado with the direct snap to Tierre to work in the college level, but it seemed to go alright Can anyone get me Keller's 40 time?
