I don't know of anyone that would confuse Lee for a Husker fan...

FFA.

There's a huge difference if your entire offense isn't predicated on using a running QB often. The distinction is in that, in a wildcat, you are using 2 very competent runners, as opposed to one very competent (RB) and one marginally competent (QB) runner. There aren't enough legitimate running threat QBs to go around and, even if there were, it wouldn't behoove every offense to turn to using them. In my opinion it is still substandard to a triple-option package, though. this. this is why i dislike the wildcrap. teams that revert to this are cheaply covering for a marginal qb, by installing another marginal qb. Agreed. It's funny because I tend to think of offensive styles are cyclically en vogue. It seems this is a variation and one that wants to say "wow a running quarterback really is a good idea" yet saying "we don't value that enough to make it a full-time position." It just goes to show you having a higher quantity of competent ball carriers is harder to defend, just like it always has been.

Just play. The entertainment is the game; not the post play actions. This goes for all sports at all levels. Wrong. Spikes' TD celebration/punt might be the greatest football moment ever. Wow, after your buildup I was thinking that was going to be something special. It was very uneventful and certainly not anything close to the greatest football moment ever.

It says on their site they were "UPI" National Champions. If I recall that poll came out before the bowl game. Certainly doesn't justify them claiming it but, when you have 350,000 different polls, a lot of different teams claim they are the National Champions. That's also where Michigan claims they have 79 or whatever ridiculous number they try to claim.

I forget the passes that were thrown in his other games this year but it seems to me during the Arizona game those were timing routes that he was asked to throw. I can see how he wouldn't be as good as Lee if Lee is spending more game time and probably practice time with those receivers to have the timing down.

I think it's a little much to compare Paul to Percy Harvin.

Count me as one of those who think those "cheers" are lame.

Booyah.

I don't know, I'm not thinking the Gay-S-U game is going to be too easy, especially since it's away and they have Snyder. Like it or not, they will be ready to play and having another year in that system could pay them dividends.

I'm going to have to go with Arizona. So satisfying to see, as others have stated, complete domination on both sides of the ball.

Flavor of the week

Jesse Palmer. He said it was a "match-read" (I think) and explained it that the defensive backs read the routes and matchup based on that. Hence receivers will be open one second and not the next.

I think you would be really shocked by (and have missed) what was and was not sarcastic in the OP. Fair enough. I skimmed it.

Funny enough, when you google "best college football team of all time" and get to pages 5-10, you come across this thread as well as others on SECforum and Gamecock forums, all started at the earliest in December of 2009.

B)--> QUOTE(Husker B @ Jan 2 2010, 03:28 PM) 551675[/snapback] Wow, out of all the things to talk about that came out of that game, you want to whine about a post-game question. Get a freakin grip. Is your post dripping with as much sarcasm as the original post?

Wow. None of you guys (with the exception of irafreak, sort-of) even come close to seeing one of the most important factors in this: family history. Meyer has a family history of cardiac disease and the real problems he has stem from chest pain. This can directly be related to stress, yes, but is also significantly linked to genetics. That's why this is all such a huge deal, not because of how stressful college football coaching is for everyone. Think about it, if it were really so incredibly stressful that it caused health problems more coaches would retire earlier and there would be more stories of health-problems.

Quoted for truth, agreement, etc.

I think the 83 team was the best but they never get the props. Fryar, Rozier and Gill, the triplets were pretty amazing. Steinkuhler was a top 3 pick too. If the USFL isn't around, Rozier, Fryar and Steinkuhler go 1, 2, 3. I don't think that has ever happened. Gill, according to Charlie McBride was the all time best at running the Husker offense. They lost to Miami with Rozier getting hurt after the first half (165 yards) and Fryar dropping a sure TD!!! They still should of won that game. Look at the highlights. 40 second mark, Rozier has a Bo moment and pill drives a defender 5 yards into the end zone. I don't think this team is even mentioned in the top 50 all time. http://video.aol.com/video-detail/83-huske...cid=VIDURVSPR06 I don't remember enough about the 70, 71 teams to know if they were better or not. They're not mentioned because they barely had a defensive unit fielded. With an above-mediocre defense they never would have lost to Miami. They were also dubbed "The Scoring Explosion" because that's how they beat teams. Does anyone have a link to the entire series of ESPN's Greatest Team of All Time? I've been looking for a while and can't seem to find anything other than the Herbstreit clip. I'd love to see the whole thing.

He said the two best teams in there were the 2001 Hurricanes and the 2004 Trojans which, IIRC, came from different brackets. Nebraska 95 and 71 took them out, respectively, in those brackets.

Clearly it's cheerleading. They just need to step it up and give a greater all-around effort.

That's because he mirror-imaged the hat for the head move. But shiv that thing never gets old! It just reeks of 'awesome.'

He looked like an idiot when he said that. If you're going to be the one questioning all the results, at least get your facts straight. Four top-ten teams in your schedule isn't exactly what constitutes a "lack of competition." He also asks whether Nebraska threw the football in the 70s, yet was ok with dogging '71, too. I can see he's consciously giving more love to Nebraska because he has a full-on for Bo but he has historically hated Nebraska, much like Keith "Whoa Nelly!" Jackson and Brent My-Brain-is-Mush-berger.

No. No you don't.
