OK, let's not heap the hype on this kid, because that's the last thing he needs and it's getting way out of hand. It's not even merited. Not every four-star "mobile" QB is Vince Young or Terrelle Pryor. Just like not every white WR who has some success is Wes Welker.

 

I think we might have a similar kid in cody green. only hes spose to be able to throw the ball! take notes watson. could be the star were waiting for. any thoughts?

 

In fact, Green is not supposed to be able to throw the ball (see recruiting thread). He is looking at a redshirt year and he *could* develop into a quality starter for us, just like Lee, Witt, and Spano right now could.

you caught that when swift was compared to welker and stokely by the CBS announcers? lol

Two words: Sam Swank

One post from the Western Michigan thread locked it up early. The gay unicorn pissing a rainbow was far and away the best.

Lets make a great impression and outclass those taters!

 

What you think Husker fans are embarassing???

 

 

 

 

I can't believe you found a picture of that second guy on the internet. I've seen him at so many sporting events from the college world series to nebraska baseball games to omaha royals games and even at the local dirt track. He's a legend.

Helu- the offense was more fluid and balanced when he was in the game. When lucky was in the game the offense seemed to sputter more. Helu.

Well I'm in LaVista (Papillion-LaVista school District) in subdivision called ValVista and love the area. I'm one block away from the elementry school and have one of the lowest property taxes around. There are so many kids in the neighborhood your scared everytime you back your car out of your garage! You might have to go east one or two blocks to get the price range your looking for though.

Papillion- La Vista (07 grad) is superior to every school district except district 66. aim for the 87th and Pacific area. some of the best schools in the NATION, but Papillion is one of the top ten cities in the country to live in according to one of those business magazines so it's a coinflip. I live in la vista myself. Shadow ridge.

I hope he stays, I hate all the coaching changes we have had since 2003.

But you can't blame him for trying to better himself.

 

But I would think if he stayed, developed Witt, Lee, Spano, or Green and had continued sucess with his offense then he wouldn't have to settle for a New Mexico, or Bowling Green job. Those for the most part are dead end jobs, no budget, no facilities, and your recruiting against BCS conferences for the local/in state talent.

Unless you're urban meyer.

I sure as hell do. The guy is so cocky I cant stand him. I'll definitely be pulling for Bama.

 

your logic is skewed. I'm pretty sure Saban is twice as cocky as Meyer but i'm pullin for bama just cause i hate tebow.

I disagree - Urban Meyer is by far the cockiest coach in the NCAA

richt is up there too. must be something about the sec. now kiffin is in the conference too. cockiest conference by far.

so i guess turner won a national championship at nebraska. ESPN has said it twice now so it must be true... . 6 time national champions!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes as a coach.

the announcer said "gill was a heisman front runner and a national championship winner" obviously refering to his playing career... unless they give heismans to quarterbacks coaches

Wow! What did u guys think? And how amazing is it what hes done at buffalo? Mac champions, turner is going to move on to HUGE things in a year or two. My guess is that he is named Syracuse coach, but i kind of hope not.... I want him to wait for a GREAT job a (like a Florida ala urban meyer)

 

Should nebraska have hired turner?

"moved to former 'skers" (insert mod here)

I sure as hell do. The guy is so cocky I cant stand him. I'll definitely be pulling for Bama.

your logic is skewed. I'm pretty sure Saban is twice as cocky as Meyer but i'm pullin for bama just cause i hate tebow.

so i guess turner won a national championship at nebraska. ESPN has said it twice now so it must be true... . 6 time national champions!!!!!!!!!!

if spiller is gonna rush for 200 you better find a way to triple team suuuuuuuuuuh. THen you're gonna have to double team potter and then find a way to block steinkuhler. Our running defense is too good. better pray for a 400 yard passing day..

Now that fall practice is well under way, here is my realistic prediction of the season.... Give me some feedback.

 

Week One Nebraska 45 - Western Michigan 17

 

Why Nebraska will win: Two streaks survived the Callahan Era: The sellout streak, and the home

opener streak. The crowd will be too much for the Bronco's to handle. The first game of the Pelini

era will get out of hand early and the second stringers will get valuable experience.

 

X-Factor: Crowd Noise

 

Week Two Nebraska 42 – San Jose State 24

 

Why Nebraska will win: San Jose St. has been outscored 351-108 by teams from BCS conferences in the

last five years. This game will have similar results to the game in 2000.

 

X-Factor: Focus and Preperation.

 

Week Three Nebraska 27 – New Mexico State 13

 

Why Nebraska will win: Pelini will pressure Holbrook from every angle and force him to throw

interceptions. Lucky and Helu will wear down the Aggie defense and slowly pull away. This game

will be closer than many think.

 

X-Factor: The Offensive Line

 

Week Four Virginia Tech 17 - Nebraska 9

 

Why Virginia Tech will win: Defense and Special Teams. Frank Beamer will outcoach BO however this

game won't have the same chain reaction as the loss to USC last year. The fans will enjoy a good competitive game but the Huskers will come up just short.

 

X-Factor: Special Teams

 

Week Five Missouri 45 – Nebraska - 34

 

Why Missouri will win: The Tigers have a better, more experienced team than Nebraska but the

Game will be closer than most expect. However Missouri's offense outduels Nebraska's and the

Tigers win in Linocln for the first time since 1978.

 

X-Factor: Jeremy Maclin

 

Week Six Nebraska 31 - Texas Tech 17

 

Why Nebraska will win: Under Leach Texas Tech hit a ceiling. A one dementional offense will be

too easy for Bo to stop and Shawn Watson's offense will have a field day with the TTech Defense.

Nebraska will be a mediocre 3-2 heading into this game however will still be by far the toughest

team tech will have faced up to that point.

 

X-Factor: Turnovers

 

Week Seven Nebraska 20 - Iowa State 17

 

Why Nebraska will win: Nebraska takes this game purely on being better than Iowa St. The Cyclones

are on the rise but they just won't have the talent to square up with a Nebraska team fresh

off one of the toughest three game stretches in college football, however ISU stays in it until

the end because it's in Ames.

 

X-Factor: First game on a Grass Field.

 

Week Eight Nebraska 55 – Baylor 20

 

Why Nebraska will win: IT'S BAYLOR... Not to mention they have a new coaching staff who brings

a way different system to Baylor similar to New Mexico St. and Texas Tech's but will not have the

right players in place.

 

X-Factor: The Backup quarterback.

 

Week Nine Oklahoma 42 – Nebraska 10

 

Why Oklahoma will win: Top to bottom Oklahoma is better than Nebraska. Coaching is

better, quarterback is better, recievers are better, O-line is better, The entire Defense

is better. Horrible Mismatch for the Huskers.

 

X-Factor: Coaching

 

Week Ten Nebraska 38 – Kansas 28

 

Why Nebraska will win: Kansas 1968 record 9-2 1969 record 1-9; 1981 record 8-4

1982 record 2-7-2; 1995 record 10-2 1996 record 4-7. Three of the four best seasons

in the last 40 years for Kansas, the other 2007... not to mention the jayhawks

haven't won in Lincoln since 1968.

 

X-Factor: Memorial Stadium

 

Week Eleven Nebraska 24 – Kansas State 6

 

Why Nebraska will win: If Pelini adjusts his coaching style to be more like Cosgrove's Nebraska

will win this game handily. Call me crazy but Ron Prince takes advantage of overaggressive defenses with his use of trick plays. If the Huskers use a lot of Man-to-Man defenses instead of swarming to the

ball this one could get ugly.

 

X-Factor: follow assignments.

 

Week Twelve Colorado 21 - Nebraska 20

 

Why Colorado will win: Coming into the game Nebraska will be 8-3 and 5-2 in conference while

Colorado will be 5-6 and 4-4 in conference. The game will mean more to the Buffaloes who will be fighting for a bowl betth will salvage their season with a win over the huskers sneaking them into the Independence Bowl

 

X-Factor: Desire

 

Alamo Bowl: Nebraska 35 Michigan St. 14

 

Why Nebraska will win: At 8-4 Pelini will go back to the Alamo Bowl and again it will be against a much

better Michigan St. team. However a much improved run defense shuts down javon ringer, thus shutting

down the MSU offense. Joe Ganz picks apart a mediocre Big 10 defense en route to victory. The victory

puts Nebraska at 4-0 this decade in the Alamo Bowl and 0-3 in all other bowls.

 

X-Factor: Nebraska in San Antonio.

dug this up. wasn't too far off. while i thought we would beat tech we played 'em tougher than anybody thought. We didn't lose to Colorado but it was damn close.

Some things I got right were special teams being the x-factor in the va tech game, my outlook on the oklahoma game was right and the kansas game was spot on. not to mention i got the record right on the nose.

at least the AP got it right. Gerald McCoys stats didn't hold a candle to suh's this year.

he should be tethered to the ground and filled with helium, and then let go after our fist td

i think its HUGE for the quarterback position for next year. let em all get some more reps in the system.

for the record, to all the people who say we wear RED. All 120 teams wear white on the road not to mention the all whites do have RED numbers RED stripes RED shoes and a RED N on the helmet. not a big issue as long as its not the all whites we wore to happy valley in '02

the pinnacle of mizzou's football program= a trip to the cotton bowl in a two loss season ....

the only thing i noticed about the sun bowl is tickets in the end zone are only $15

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as i posted in another thread the video reminded me of a horsemans park promo i saw at the omaha royals games this year. Except instead of willie the wildcat it was a bottle of beer. they played the video and the bottle ran into the stadium. (i actually did it for one of the games)

The game yesterday was my first ever road game and i am amazed at how k-state is even in the big 12 or how they can recruit anybody. Manhattan is in the middle of nowhere and the stadium reminded me more of a high school stadium than a bcs conference stadium.

The whole atmosphere, announcer, and poor quality promo videos reminded me more of an omaha royals game than a college football game

The game gave me a newfound appreciation of the gameday experience in lincoln.

Neb. 49

NMSU 24

NU Pass - 377

NU rush- 161

Thats major. THat means the Lafayette game is the 300th sellout now. I gotta be there.
