Even though there is already a 'SUH' thread, I thought this announcement needed a place of it's own! Our boy did it!! NFL Rookie of the Year!! http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6091681

Give a read to what the Oregon folks think. I found this really interesting: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=147&f=1361&t=7151703

I remember a time when Ron Brown was not here. You could tell the difference. The whole time he was gone there just felt like something was missing. When he came back it's like Husker Nation just breathed a sigh of relief. Here was someone who could inspire our boys, build confidence and character that was sorely lacking when he was gone. I'm curious-have you ever heard Ron Brown speak? If you haven't, I would encourage you to give him a listen sometime. He spoke at our daughter's Baccalaureate-Wow. If 'wearing your faith on your sleeve' is going to change the life of a young man for the better-build character in him that will prepare him for life then I say-let 'er rip tater chip! Because the opposite is what we're seeing in alot of young lives today-many of these kids never get the opportunity to hear what the Ron Browns of the world have to say-it's sad too-because it might have changed their lives-in fact, many of these kids might still be alive today if they had heard what he and others like him have to say. Just my opinion

i'll bet Bo farts in his seat at the movies......and then gets up and leaves...... HILARIOUS!! ahahahahaahahahahhaa!!

I took a peek over at one of the Oregon Ducks message board and they're hoping that Frost will be made a Co-OC there with the promise that he will be OC in a couple of years just to keep him at UO. They feel the same way about him that we do. The next few days are going to be very interesting.

Welcome! Yeah, we can't wait until FARMAGEDDON either. Gonna be FUN!

You totally crack me up!! I love this board. I love it that we can express our opinions and have really good discussion. I was in journalism in high school and almost majored in it in college so I know a little of the rigor that the reporters have to go through. It IS their job to report the news BUT they also need to be responsible in their reporting. I enjoy the sports writers from the OWH and I like listening to Sip from time to time but I think that Bo was probably sweating it a little at that conference because he knew that the media would bring up the coaching situation and it sounds like he was trying to keep his lips zipped because of the legal ramifications? I could be totally off base here but that's what I was thinking. I also think that when an agenda has been set it should be honored. However, I also think that Bo needs to take some classes in interpersonal communication. I really think he just doesn't know what to say sometimes. Since he has one of the most effective communicators (Dr. Tom) in his sphere, he should take advantage of Tom's expertise and simply practice. Have someone mentor him. It's not a difficult thing to do IF he wants to get better. Anyway, thanks for the great discussion. I like having the freedom to share my opinion without being crucified. You guys are great and this board is a hoot.

LINK Sorry if already posted. I didn't see anything with a quick look. Thanks for posting the link. Again, I thought Bo handled the presser just fine. He talked about the recruits and the recruiting process. When asked about coaching changes he said this is not the time or place but that he WOULD address that issue at a later time. I guess I don't know why everyone has their panties in a twist over this (no offense zoogies-just agree to disagree because I like what you write and encourage you to carry on! You've done great things on this board. Keep up the great work!) I think it was uncomfortable for the press because they came to the meeting with a different agenda-they had hot news from Kevin Wilson and by gosh they were going to get some answers. I can appreciate their wanting to know everything about that issue but Bo wasn't going to budge. However, they pushed him into a corner and he starting tripping up. I think maybe that's what's bothering everyone.

I had an opposite take. I don't understand why the media, who were told before the meeting that Bo wouldn't be addressing coaching changes, kept harping on him about coaching changes. Say what you will about the media 'doing their job' but he did tell them in advance, of the press conference agenda. Why do they insist on pressuring the guy to go against what he planned to say? Bo did TRY to not say anything but it's like a little kid who keeps whining about getting a toy after you've told him a dozen times NO, you sometimes break down and say OK already. Bo was trying to make this about those boys but the media was fighting him almost the whole time. If anyone took away from making this a special time it was the media-not Bo. Why didn't they ask more questions about the recruits? It almost seemed like they cam only prepared to pepper Bo with questions about coaching changes. What about those kids? Good grief! I couldn't believe that they had come so ill prepared when they knew the agenda weeks in advance. I really don't think this press conference is going to make or break our program. Bo has a ton on his plate right now and not giving the media the kind of press conference that they wanted is the least of his worries. Getting his team ready for the fall season is his first priority. Come fall this press conference will merely be a faded memory in the minds of many. Just my take

Just for a moment let's suppose he did just as you suggested. Would it have been done? Or would it start a whole new parade of conjectures/rumor/et al? Hmmmm.. Interesting to consider though. When I hear someone say, 'No Comment' I'm thinking He/She DOES know something, they're just not saying! This is just me but I'm wondering if everything is not in stone yet? Maybe Bo doesn't know for sure if this person is going to take the job OR Bo is just pulling the media's chain. They've pulled his many a time-is it payback? Is he still dancing on thin ice from the Martinez fiasco from last season? Or maybe it's a power play on his part and HE is going to control this teleconference no matter what? For some control is a powerful tool??

Does anyone know what the coaches ask the recruits or tell the recruits? (If this has already been discussed please direct me to past posts.) If they only talk about the positions, what NU has to offer with regards to playing time, academics, UNL as a campus, etc. but don't discuss WHO will coach them then the staff wouldn't have to comment on specific coaches that will be coaching their sons. Just curious

Why hate on a reporter for asking the question that everyone is wondering? Like it or not, Bo can't just decide which questions can and can't be asked of him. Any real reporter worth his salt wouldn't let the person getting interviewed get away with that. You can't make him answer the question, but he sure as hell can't keep you from asking the question. It's not like Dirk is disrespectful in the way he asks the question. I say good for Dirk for not cowering to Bo like everyone else. But didn't you think it made those reporters who asked coaching questions look like jerks? Bo told everyone before hand that he was only responding to recruiting questions then a couple of reporters asked about coaching changes. What part of 'I'm not going to discuss coaching changes during this time' do you not get? That's how it came off to me. I think that Bo IS going to make coaching changes. He said that there would be a time to discuss that topic but it wasn't now. He might not have fired any coaches or hired anyone right now but whose contract wasn't renewed or who left on their own accord? I think Bo was much more relaxed doing the teleconference versus a live conference with people breathing down his neck. Just my take

If you're referring to the rumored coaching changes, Bo said last night he'd only discuss Signing day and the recruiting class. That being said, I'm just waiting for someone to bring it up... Wonder what treatment that first brave guy will meet. One guy tried and Bo said, 'I'm not discussing anything but recruits today. We will discuss your question at another time.' Bo also said that he has not hired any new coaches. It's funny how this one guy tried to get Bo to talk about what he doesn't want to talk about (coaches) by saying, 'Have any of the recruits been told about any coaching changes.' Bo saw right through that. I like Bo's manner. He's answering the questions well, even when people try to trip him up.

I called this Tuesday morning at 3 lol Good Call!!

Love it! I called this as the 'Big Surprise' last night. Glad to see that it actually happened

What if the surprise is that Bubba Starling finally made his decision and it's to play Husker Football? Now THAT would be a great surprise! Ha! Called it last night!! (Now let's see if he stays!)

NO!!!! I refuse to let this comedic thread of epic proportions die. The name calling and cat fighting of those trying to puff their chest out and provide their "inside info" and the others kicking them down a peg or two is just what I need on this frigid day. All you young bucks keep on truckin. There is no way this thread dies. I will personally bump it to the topof the page every 15 minutes if necessary. EPIC What if the surprise is that Bubba Starling finally made his decision and it's to play Husker Football? Now THAT would be a great surprise!

We've got the #2 recruiting class in the B1G just behind Ohio State. Even ESPN is saying good things about our recruiting class: Give a read- "Ohio State is in its usual perch atop the Big Ten recruiting rankings, while newcomer Nebraska is making a splash ahead of its debut.

This thread is better than a soap opera!! lol (By the way 'walksalone' I crack up every time I read your General Mattis quote-So true and TOO FUNNY!)

That's what Kevin and Michael alluded to on 1620 the Zone this afternoon (DUI's) as I slid home from work. They said that if someone had been fired they would've already heard about it and they had heard nothin'.

I agree-Sirius is part of the Husker identity. As soon as you hear it you can see the Huskers coming out of the tunnel in your minds eye whether you're in the stadium or not. I vote no to changing the song too.

How do you think our boys did? I only got to watch the last few minutes of the game but loved that hit Nile Paul got! I also got to see Alex Henry kick a field goal then punt. I also saw another kicker from the North team kick a field goal and he missed it! I thought: "Sheesh! You have the most accurate field goal kicker in NCAA history on your team and you don't use him???' What's up with that! Anyway, wondered how you all thought our kids did overall.

How did you think our guys did? I didn't get to watch much of it but I did see that great hit Nile (Paul) got towards the end of the game, saw Alex kick a field goal and punt once then saw another person kick for the North and missed it. I thought, 'Sheesh! He's got the most accurate kicker in NCAA history on his team and he puts in someone else?' Pierre Allen didn't have his finest game. He had two personal fouls called on him. Not good. What did the rest of you think?
