  1. sorry, everytime i see the word "you" directed at something that is a result of something someone posted, it seems to be directed at the person that posted it, no? just the way it works to me.. You said "support your team" wouldn't you then in fact mean to say, students should show up and support their team? or support their peers? or something to that effect? not something that says "your" that is directed at an individual If I didn't quote you then I wasn't talking to you specifically. The students as a whole need to show up and be fighting amongst one another for those tickets. gotcha. just a misunderstanding there then. but i agree completely on that.. nothing else i can do though.... it gets kind of annoying see people do nothing but bash students. Our entire lives we've been talked down upon like we are nothing but little kids, no respect from authority. We're told that as soon as we graduate high school and turn 18 what we say will matter, and people will listen to us. But, still to no avail. Still some people fail to give respect where respect is due. Just because it's a different generation and a different time doesn't mean growing up is easy. Everything has its own difficulties. They may have not had the technology, but we don't have the simplicity and assumed innocence either. There are so many twists and turns to everything. some people actually do understand and respect students, but some just don't..... I completely disagree with that. I'm a college student and I don't feel that I deserve any respect from elders. They have put in their due and I have no problem with them thinking they are wiser than me and not always listening to what I have to say. Respect should be something earned over time not just automatically given out. Maybe people from my generation were just raised differently but I was raised more "old school" than most and absolutely hate when people my age think that they can do whatever they want and the way they always complain about the way older generations treat them. Not saying you personally but people from our generation in general. i can agree with that, but disagree at the same time. how are we supposed to gain respect if they don't listen to us? Our voice has to be heard some how. Look at it politically.... i saw a couple of state county maps for the election last week... i was very interested in things... college towns voted very very heavily for Obama while non-college towns didn't. just generalized there, not absolute. Thats one way our voice was heard. (not specifically mine either, not the place for that). But how else do we earn that respect? Another example i will use is from 4 years ago, those from lincoln may remember the worthless mayor we had.... she was invited to come and speak to the YLL group that year (40 of lincoln and surrounding areas brightest students and those who want to influence the area, etc.) and instead of going through anything political or what it's like to be in office, responsibility, what not, she decides to tell us stories about when she grew up. Uh... yea. Things like that, while it may be an extreme example, just shows me complete disrespect for our generation... Now, i have seen many people that are like "hey you dumb f**kin blue hair wtf do u think your doin you dumb f**kin stupid pile of s**t.." and yea, thats bs. Uncalled for, doesn't deserve respect... but i guess i just distinguish between that, as im sure you do. Yea I can see your point there about if they never listen we have no chance to gain respect. And to be honest I don't really have an answer. I guess I have never had a problem of gaining respect from older generations. And yes I have had older people not listen to my side of things just because I was younger but I just let it go and don't get worked up about it. It may not be right but it's something that I have learned to live with. On the other point about the disrespect for our generation I think it comes from a lot of people in our generation doing things to make all of us look bad. They may still be the minority but it does not take that many to give us a bad repuatation. Humans tend to lump people in groups and our age is one of those so when those people do things like you pointed out the perception is then slid over to cover all people our age.

  3. I think one of the main reasons Bo gets more slack is that many of us like him more, as a person. The things he stands for: the hard work, never quitting, etc. And the fact that BC treated the media and fans like they were idiots that he had to waste time on. Many of us can relate to Bo more than Callahan. I think it's as simple as that.
  4. that's what I figured. If anything it sounds like it needs to be treated as a weekly/monthly max out. Watching the video I think they said that the actual 300 workout was used at the end of the entire training months. Sort of a "final exam" Your exactly right there benny they did use this as a final test of sorts however, only one actor was willing to attempt it. I used it as a assessment to see where I was at and I am going to start doing this workout called crossfit. It is based off of the same principles only the workouts are high intensity/circuit traning workouts. It gets your heartrate up and gives you a cardio type of workout while sastisfying my need to lift weights at the same time. It's different checkout crossfit.com for the workouts. I'm a crossfitter and swear by it. My bro is a Seal and turned me onto it and I do it in the offseason. Once I'm out of college and done with baseball I'll start doing it all the time as part of my training to join the Seals
  5. I believe it's a walk-on for one year and get a scholly the next year kind of thing
  6. Things must be different down south because I've seen stuff like this at the high school I attended. One of our coaches head-butted one of our players when he had his helmet on and actually knocked him down. This stuff isn't a stretch down here.
  7. That dude (HT) obviously has an opinion about everything and must voice it. That's a pretty incredible amount of posts/per day. Aye Carumba, indeed. Am I the only one that sees the "insert sarcasm here" icon at the end of his post?
  8. If you want a pushup that makes your whole body hurt I have one for you. Get one of those exercise balls and put your feet up on that. Then have two 3 or 4 pound medicine balls and put one under each one of your hands so you are balanced on all of them. Then try to do 5 to 10 pushups!!!! Those are the hardest pushups I've ever done in my life!!!! well BRI the next time you go to the gym you need to try this one. get 2 20lb dumbbells and something to elevate your feet on. place your hands on the dumb bells and assume the elevated feet push up position. do 1 pushup then lift one of the dumb bells up to your chest in a rowing motion, then do another pushup and repeat the rowing with the other arm. that is 1 repitition. now try and complete 10 of those. Yea these are really good..it helps to get chest and back work in the same exercise. Works real well. Another one we do is get two aerobic steps, put them about a foot and half apart, and do one push up with your hands between them and push up and put your hands on the steps and do another. That's one rep and 10 of them really burn the chest and arms.
  9. The things swivel and you need to have control so they dont move until you want them to. Alright I can see that..how easy do they swivel? I guess I need to try them before I can completely understand
  10. Could you explain the balance part? I don't quite see it..thanks
  11. Although I've never tried them I think they are kind of pointless..regular pushups have worked for a long time and as long as you concentrate on proper form then they'll work just fine And as for the developed by a Navy SEaL part..my brother is a SEaL and I asked him about them and he says it's a waste of money as well
  12. It doesn't offend me..just some stereotype humor..nothing serious
  13. Yea one of my buddies said that once you play cod 4 you'll never wanna play halo again..so I'm scared to try it..haha
  14. 1997 Nebraska Cornhuskers - 19 1997 Tennessee Volunteers - 54 Just played the 97 mich vs nebraska mich - 6 Nu - 10 The funny thing is that this is 2nd game that Eric Warfield has had at least 6 sack and named player of the game. Did Eric put in the stats? Yea Warfield had 7 sacks in my '97 vs '07 game..and was the only player with any sacks
  15. Who is it? Does anyone know who it will be? Off-season is very important to next year, I am getting a little nervous, not hearing anything or any rumors.
  16. I think he's exactly right. we didnt have problems scoring with ganz. why change that? I think we do need to run more. and I think bo intensity and changes in practice will get our line were they can block better. In regard to the need to run more you have to remember that Watson was the OC of CU when they ran all over us in '01 so I think that we will definately run more with Callahan gone
  17. A friend of mine said that there were talks of this but I haven't been able to find anything about it so I was just wondering if anyone has seen or heard anything about this
  18. Same here..was lucky enough to be born into it and couldn't really tell when it was..I remember some cold games against CU in the early 90's but the first game I can remember the actual score was the '94 NC against Miami
  19. Either that or Callahan is calculated. He puts Watson in there to make it look like they are just bad, not that he's trying to lose intentionally to get fired. Yes but Callahan took over before halftime and we scored 0 from when he took over
  20. Pelini has all kinds of connections, he possibly could bring in Mike Stoops as DC, he will looking for a job. Pelini has connection is the professional ranks, college ranks and is a players coach. As a recruiter, he is one of the best, who wouldn't want to play for him, he is young, energetic, and know how to motivate. GREAT CHOICE.

  22. I just heard that Callahan is gone as well with Watson taking over as interim HC. Word is $40 million was given to the university to make it all happen and is supposed to be announced tomorrow. Guess we'll see if any of these rumors have truth to them. Did you get this rumor from this board, by chance? Is it already on here? If it is my bad. If not then no I didn't get it from here.
