NEW 100 HUSKERS now have 4 recruits in the rivals 100, lets get more!!

well, the woodshed is where all the stuff that might be inappropriate, or where pissed off people go to vent, or just really obnoxious stuff where u would not let ur kids see!

Here's a free link from rivals that go's over the fall schedule http://nebraska.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=698253 I just pasted it here... Top 2007 Fall camp storylines The development of the defensive line With Joseph Townsend and Demetrious Davis both academically ineligible, and Kevin Dixon making a late arrival to campus this summer, the defensive line is already behind the eight ball with the numbers they've added from the 2007 signing class. Townsend was expected to contribute at either defensive end or defensive tackle, and it's hard to say where Dixon will be at in fall camp since he did not work out with the team this summer in Lincoln. Traditionally, late arrival junior college players have taken longer to develop, so you don't know where Dixon fits in at this point until you see him live in action. Right now, Ndamukong Suh, Ty Steinkuhler and Barry Turner appear to be solid starters on the line with their previous experience. Junior Zach Potter is the odds on favorite to win the base defensive end spot, but if things don't work out with him this August, head coach Bill Callahan said there is a possibility that Steinkuhler could move back outside and play defensive end and either junior Shukree Barfield or Dixon could see more reps at defensive tackle next to Suh. Also, don't rule out the possibility of NU playing more three-man fronts this fall, that way they can utilize their four senior linebackers and have them on the field all at one time. Zack Bowman's health status The health status of senior cornerback Zack Bowman remains one of the bigger mysteries for the Nebraska football team as they head into fall camp. Callahan has downplayed any questions about Bowman's status, but senior linebacker Bo Ruud said Bowman has been running and cutting at near full speed this summer. The talk swirling around North Stadium now is Bowman could conceivably be ready to play in Nebraska's Sept. 1 opener against Nevada. One theory I've heard is Bowman would be used 30 to 35 plays against Nevada, 40 to 45 plays against Wake Forest and then 50+ plays against USC. If this theory is true, it would be a near medical miracle to see Bowman back on the field this early. It will be very important to gauge Bowman's stamina in his knee, because the last thing you want to see is him hurt it again. Even though senior Sam Keller hasn't been officially named Nebraska's starting quarterback, he realistically is one the biggest keys for the entire 2007 season. Keller has the prototypical tools you want to see in a West Coast offense quarterback, and all reports out of conditioning are he's having an outstanding summer. The thing Keller needs to do is to continue to stay humble and hungry. Keller earned the respect of the team with his play on the scout team last fall, and he closed spring practice out with an outstanding Red-White game performance. Lucky and Glenn's durability at running back A question everyone continues to ask is if sophomore Major Culbert is a permanent fixture at running back, or will he eventually move back to defense. Well, the answer to this question won't be known until juniors Marlon Lucky and Cody Glenn can prove their durability at running back. Lucky has yet to prove he can handle the physical day-to-day rigors of the Big 12 Conference, while the status of Glenn's injured foot continues to be a mystery. Another factor at running back will be NU's trio of true freshmen—Marcus Mendoza, Quentin Castille and Roy Helu. Mendoza should be utilized as kick and punt return specialist, and a third down receiving back, while Castille has the potential to jump in and be utilized as a short yardage or power back. Helu is another player with a lot of potential and upside, but he could also move over to defense if running back does not work out for him. 2007 Fall Camp Schedule Note: All practices are closed to the public and media.

NU Football: Players can study their assignments on computer screen BY MICHAEL BRUNTZ WORLD-HERALD CORRESPONDENT LINK LINCOLN — David Graff noticed the pages. The diagrams with circles and lines. Arrows pointing where the "circle" should run and cut. Boxes where a receiver should end his route and look for the ball. Dotted lines where the tight end should go if he sees the middle of the field closed, or MOFC. In the Huddle System, a play can have videos, voice recordings, written comments and scouting report information directly linked to it.To the layman, and probably to a multitude of college football players, it also could be MC, as in mighty confusing. Yet, there they went, Nebraska players heading home after practice lugging binders full of these pages, six black and white plays per sheet. The players were expected to learn what circle moves where for a set number of plays before the next game. Graff, who worked in the Nebraska sports information office from 2004 through 2006, thought there must be a better way. Now, through a project that has largely slipped below the average Husker fan's radar, Nebraska players and coaches are using a system created by Graff and two of his classmates that makes the contents of a traditional playbook seem as dated as the wishbone offense. Some within the Husker program have been using the system for two months, and it is receiving positive reviews. "We looked at the six-plays-to-a-page paper playbook and said, 'It's not exciting,'" Graff said. "Nothing was looking at the players' side of things. Most of the focus was on the coaches." That all changes with the Huddle System and its virtual playbook that became a design studio project in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's J.D. Edwards Honors Program, of which Graff, Brian Kaiser and John Wirtz were members. Graff & Co. presented a prototype of their Huddle System to Nebraska coach Bill Callahan and his staff in February 2006. A few months later, they created their own company, Agile Sports Technologies. The company added more features and received feedback from the Nebraska coaching staff during the developmental stages. While computer simulators and viewing video of football plays by computer via DVD are not new concepts, the interactive and portable nature of a virtual playbook advances the idea. Having it available throughout an entire organization is potentially an invaluable learning tool, particularly in an advanced offensive system based on West Coast principles, such as Nebraska's. "Coach Callahan is really receptive to new technologies, so he's been a really good guy to work with," said Graff, the company's CEO. "He's a very progressive coach from that standpoint." Nebraska became the first school to use the software when coaches, quarterbacks and safeties started in June. Other positions will be using it as the 2007 season progresses. For football players who grew up on video games and the Internet, learning the system has been relatively easy. In Agile's Lincoln office recently, Graff gave a visitor a look. Flipping open his laptop and logging on as Callahan, Graff deftly exhibited the Huddle System's features. One was immediately apparent: The use of video is a clear improvement over plays diagramed in the paper-filled binders. Opening a video from last year's Texas game, Graff used a telestrator feature (the tool John Madden made famous on NFL broadcasts) to draw onto the video. He scribbled a few notes and then had the option of choosing names from a list of players to whom he could send the video clips to be viewed on laptops at home. Quarterback hopeful Sam Keller, who transferred from Arizona State before the 2006 season, was one of the first to begin using the system. This summer, he's been watching video of Nevada, Wake Forest and Southern Cal at home at night after throwing with receivers during the day. "This helps me fine-tune my knowledge of the verbiage," Keller said. "It's been a huge help. Given that I was putting in so much time, having this thing at home is great because I'm not spending even longer hours at the stadium watching video." Keller said he particularly likes the feature that allows him to quiz himself on the best plays to run against different defensive formations. At Arizona State, he said the entire team had access to a single simulator at its practice facility. "We had to go up there and use it when nobody was there," he said. "It was nothing as awesome as this. This is top of the line." Graff, Kaiser and Wirtz were not alone in developing the software. Other students in the J.D. Edwards program helped. Eleven of the 12 Agile employees are either current students or graduates of the J.D. Edwards program. "They were stars around the program," J.D. Edwards Program Director David Keck said of Graff, Wirtz and Kaiser. "Their presence was felt no matter what they were doing. They have a lot of ideas for the future." Agile could soon be expanding its reach. The company is in discussions with some NFL teams about using the software and is continuing to develop software that could be used in baseball and basketball. Some Texas high school coaches also have expressed interest in using the program. Currently, the software must be loaded on each player's computer, but Graff said the company hopes to have the program Internet-based in the future, which would make the software more accessible to high schools. For now, the developers are eager to see how the system holds up to the rigors of the college football season. "That's the true test; when they start pushing (the system) to its limits," Kaiser said. "That's why we wanted to get the ball rolling. We're excited and on our guard to respond to any issues that might come up." How it works -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the past, Nebraska coaches sent thick three-ring binders full of formations home with players so they could study plays and coverages. With a computer program developed by Agile Sports Technologies, a company started by former athletic department employee and UNL student David Graff and two classmates, coaches now can use video to show plays in motion on a computer. Voice recordings, written comments and scouting report information can also be loaded on to players' computers to complement the video. Nebraska became the first school to use the software when coaches, quarterbacks and safeties started in June. Other positions will be using it as the 2007 season progresses.A non-descript press release issued by UNL in April about final projects completed in the J.D. Edwards program gave the first public notice of the system to be used by the Nebraska football program. "A play can have videos, voice recordings, written comments and scouting report information directly linked to it," the release stated. "Plays can be updated and immediately transferred to every player's laptop or tablet PC when synchronized. "Furthermore, each play can be stored with multiple variations based on various coverage, blitz and front scenarios, and players can quickly 'self-test' themselves on any play by wiping the routes and blocking schemes off the play, redrawing them, and receiving immediate feedback from the system."

I agree plus it says he runs very well, that's nice for a taller player. lets get that arizona connection going and get him N!

haha,

that was funny!

I guess if a pro soccer team can sign a 9-10 year old, and with usc possibly getting that 8th grader I don't see why we can't extend an offer to this kid.

all the guys were ignoring her, just then...

a whole lot easier for our defense to destroy him.

that's great!! Quick! Somebody better tell Jonas we really really need a big time TE!!

After reading this I am more confident that he will be N tomorrow. MacLean Is Gray's Country Day High School football coach. "The coach has played a minor role in Gray's recruitment, though he does have a Nebraska connection. MacLean was a fifth-year senior at Illinois in 1980, when NU coach Bill Callahan and defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove served as graduate assistants under Mike White. Cosgrove, who recruits much of the Big Ten region for Nebraska, has spoken with MacLean about Gray and Demens. Running backs coach Randy Jordan has also helped recruit Gray." — Mitch Sherman

U mean Detroit Michigan

hahaha if u are a long time cubs fan...u should expect the worst and just hope that we keep rising every year like the skers. We know its hard to turn a team around from last place(last year) to world series champ(hopefully this year) but, it's still nice to dream. This time we have some hope.

are you hoping to collect it afterwards and using super glue to create your own porn stash? Nirvana's my hero... as AR would say, your denial of wanting to super glue nut hair on to your upper lip to create your own porn stash is noted ewwwwwwww I mean Interspecies erotica is one thing, but that's just nasty!

killed everyone except his secret lover...

I cannot belive we are #1 in our division! lets keep it up and run with it! GO CUBS GO! IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!
