  1. I say take away this and next years bowl games that will catch their attention instead of 2 flippin schollies that's nothing

    Is'nt it 2 scholarships for 3 years? Thats (DUH) 6 scholarships! That IS a big deal! Sure they are still gonna go after the kids they need but what you end up losing is a little depth and 6 backups, and that can make the difference in a knock down drag out brawl..... its a bigger deal than it looks.

    Ok, now that is a big deal. 2 scholarships, or 15

    Ya 15 is worse, but 6 is still bad enough especially for what they did.

  2. that first Wisconsin video is just ridiculous. It's one thing to yell something like Husker Power...but when fans are yelling f#*k You-Eat sh#t back and forth. It still is a family atmosphere.

    I'm the last person to say anyone shouldn't cuss, but when there are kids around or conservative families it gets to be just moronic and I don't think little kids should be hearing stuff like that.

     

    I understand what you are saying....but you are at a college football game where the students have been drinking from the night before, the adults have been tailgating for how many hours, and....it is a hell of a time. I was at a Gophers hockey game and it was absolutely crazy in the "family" section. As a parent I guess you have to explain that it is going to happen and that it is not appropriate to use the language. If it is too offensive, don't bring your kids....

     

    Maybe BC can challenge the students to be loud and proud of the Huskers!!!! I hope the students go insane during the USC game and let them know they are at one of the best stadiums in the nation!!!!

     

    he better not pull a Hawkins though,--http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdcYoljrw4w

     

    that s$%t made me laugh but it wouldn't be cool BC said it about another team

    Wow....ummm........ :wtf Some one needs to make sure he is taking his meds.

  3. You can hate a team because they, their fans, or their coaches are bottom feeders. That doesn't make them rivals.

    Exactly. Other wise we would be rivals with that "NCAA sanction dodging, girl raping, money taking, bunch of cheating bit**es called USC"............but were not rivals........just friendly competitors. :)

  4. the number change has nothing to did with Bush, and the famous person was Johnny "the jet" Rodgers, in case you were not joking. And yes he was recuirted by USC he was five star # 13 player in the nation and the #2 running back right out of California what do you think they would pass up on one of the best running backs in the nation that comes out of their backyard

    I assume the answer you are looking for is, No?

  5. It took TO 6 years to beat OU, Callahan just needs to find his groove and then I think people may look back at this time of questioning and laugh about it.

    i'm sorry i quoted the wrong writer.

     

    since he has averaged 5 losses a year, callahan hasn't turned anything around yet.

     

    osborne never lost 4,5, or 6 games in a season

    Are you seriously saying T.O. NEVER had a 4 loss season? :wtf Do I seriously have to go through all these old seasons and count how many 4 and 5 loss teams TO had? He was an amazing coach....who went through alot to have the success he did, don't minimize the struggle by wearing rose colored glasses that are that thick.

     

    Tom Osborne never lost more than 3 games in a season. He had 2 or 3 9-3-1 teams, but never lost more than 3. FYI.

    I stand corrected! Maybe I need to thicken MY rose colored glasses a little! He did have eight 3 loss teams by the way FYI.

     

    Not to argue the point(s) either way, but I've been following Husker football for about 40 years and I don't recall them ever trying to make the changes they have in the last 5 years. I don't think it's been much more painful than one might expect going from DeVaney(sp?)/Osborne dynasty -->> BC. I'm still hopeful that the painful transition will have been worthwhile. A dynasty like the Huskers have had is an extremely tough act to follow, especially with a major paradigm shift. I think that shift was necessary.

    Agreed.

  6. it will take more than Prince or whomever gets the return job, to make it happen. we will need good execution in the blocking scheme as well.

    Amen! 11 guys need to get thier collective $hit together this year, but a little speed and illusiveness is always nice!

     

    :yeah One of the things that impressed me about looking at Prince's vidoeos was that he's good at following his blockers. he can accelerate through the holes but there's got to be some holes. His opponents will be a lot better than in HS where it's a lot easier for an outstanding player to be a one man show. Not saying he isn't good, just agreeing that it takes a whole team, and more so the higher the level of play.

    Tru Dat!

    Gotta agree with you benny....I'm really not interested in hearing cursing. You can be extremely loud and not have to curse,......That Wisconsin bit made me feel like I was at an old early 1980's NHL classic Ranger/Devil game.

     

    :yeah For me there's a big difference in rooting for and motivating the Huskers and demeaning the opponent. I'd rather have opponent fans think Lincoln is a great place to visit than that the students are base morons and they'd rather not visit. Leave all the crap to the Colorado students who got kicked out of the stadium a couple years back. NU doesn't need that kind of reputation.

    It has taken generations of fans to build the reputation for NU having great fans, (like clapping for the opponent after the game) don't be the D bag that messes up that tradition and makes us look like run of the mill sCUm fans, its beneth us.

  9. it will take more than Prince or whomever gets the return job, to make it happen. we will need good execution in the blocking scheme as well.

  10. I definately think that Lucky will get 1,000 yards rushing and maybe 300-500 yards receiving. He wont have to split carries with a lot of people like he did last year, I think he is finally getting the pace down to where the game is slowing down a lot, and he has the confidence in knowing that he is the guy for our offense. I think this is the year that he will break 15-20 runs of 20 yards or more. He does have a good highlight film of last year on youtube, but if you watch it you can see that there are about 3 runs that he could cut back and use his speed and he is gone instead he just runs straight. I think that changes this year.

     

     

    i hope you are correct

    Better line, more carries, another year in the system, sounds like a good start anyway!

  11. I hope with a new # and a new outlook he is ready to get his head strait and make some highlights! :cheers

     

     

    I have a question about that number change. I understand the number he was wearing was from at least one previous Husker great ( I don't remember which). Given Lucky is from California, and Reggie Bush's #5 is real popular today, do you think that had anything to do with it? Or is the number 5 of some other significance for him.? This change has left me scratching my head. Or is it no big deal?

     

    I think the change to 5 is probably props to Reggie Bush and I think he wants to be that guy for NU with Cody Glenn being the Lendale White guy. They have a long way to go to do that, but gotta strive to be the best.

     

    Yes, I remember the USC staff going to watch Lucky play(I believe he scored 8 TD's that game) and pushing really hard for him after he visited Lincoln. There was a fear that Lucky was for sure going to end up a Trojan. In the end, he just wanted a change of scenery, and Nebraska is definitely different.

    A better chance to play probably did'nt hurt either.

  12. Barry Turner will change your minds. A lot of people forgot what he did his freshman year on the end. He played probably more than most starters. Last year he played in different positions and formations just because he was behind to great DEs. Barry still got a lot of PT. Can you think of all the great plays he made on Offense, defense and special teams. It seems like people forget how talented this kid is. He is only going to get better and stronger.

    I wish we had a few more talented DEs because I would love to see Barry Turner play TE all the time, can you imagine the mismatches he would create? Awesome! :thumbs

  13. the closer you get to kick off the cheaper the tickets will be. if you have a limit that you are willing to pay, you can always use the barter system and ask the guy with the tickets how much and then counter with your price.

     

    i got 2 tickets to the NU/Florida NC game for $300, the guy was asking $300 each and I showed him $300 and said for the pair and started to walk away and he made the deal

    Better listen to Rob - he perfected his technique on hookers...

    You mean the two for one part? :lol:

  14. Now Patrick Turner will have Zach Bowman and Jesus covering him! :clap Youre goin down now USC!

     

     

    Sooooo, if I take up your bet, I'll be betting against Jesus? Seriously, Zac sounds like the kind of guy everybody would like to have in their program. Good story. If Zac makes some good plays against us Sept 15th, I'll remember he has a good side. ;)

    I know! Those are'nt very good odds are they! :lol: Honestly I just love watching a great possesion wide reciever and a great cover corner go at it.......I hope I get a chance to see that Sept 15th! chuckleshuffle

  15. I'm going to be a student this year, and I can tell everyone that I will be crazy at every game. I don't care what I have to do to help the team, but I will do anything. I can't wait! But to the top of this subject, I really hope that our students don't act like Maryland or other schools. They are just bush, though they do get into the games. There is plenty of other ways to get into the games besides that imo.

    Be a leader by example, take off your shirt and waive it in the air...........then encourage the girls to do the same. C'mon, do it for the Huskers...... :hellloooo:lol:

  16. I'm banking on Lawson at the moment, things can change, but I think he'll get the nod. I really don't care, as long as it is someone who is going to light up their key block or have good hands to catch and get the mid-yardage for a first down...that's all they will be used for anyway.

    I don't know, I think BC is more sneaky than that. Lawson showed he was dangerous with the ball in his hands, he would be a nice wrinkle to the inside running game, especially if Glenn can't stay healthy.
