I thought this quote was interesting: "I do know this," Diener said, "He doesn't like people telling him that he's not going to play football."

Some of this I had already read but some of it was new- http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/14613804/football-or-baseball-that-is-the-question-for-starling

Thanks for sharing your story. I met TO at a TeamMates event one time. I said, 'Hey Coach, I hear you like to fish sometimes.' He said that he did and then he and my husband started talking about fishing! It was great. (I don't think you need to worry about what to call him.

The reason I can't stand Colin Cowpoop is because he dissed the Huskers. He said something to the effect that he just couldn't STAND all those years that the those Huskers were so great and played that power option-it never did prepare those boys for the NFL. Yet, some of the greatest NFL players have been from Nebraska and learned under the author of the power option-TO. So, to not have to listen to his drivel ever again is a blessing. I just turned him off anyway so it really doesn't matter. I'm sorry but once you crap on our boys I lose all respect. I don't really care about either espn or fox sports-the local shows are the best. Unsportsman Like Conduct is a hoot. Anyone know the real reason why 1620 and ESPN parted ways? Was it about cost? Interesting.

Chow no longer a prospect for OC-He went to Utah: http://www.ksl.com/?sid=14103794&nid=635

No surprise here. I'm sure Dr. Tom saw this coming a mile away.

We'll get to see how good this kid turns out to be next year in the NFL. Suh has already established himself in the NFL as a play maker (and in his rookie year no less!) on the field and a role model off the field.

Just read that Chow might be out at UCLA. He did a bang up job when he was at USC. I could never figure out why Pete C. fired him? http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/news/story?id=6016711

Here! You can watch tonights show online: ENJOY! http://netdb.unl.edu/bigredwrapup/

I do too. After I watched that program I was excited for Nebraska. We don't have the Michigan or LSU cloud hanging over us anymore so people can forget about all that. Didn't you think it was interested that Adrian F. said, 'Last year we were 10-4 and people were ecstatic! This year we were 10-4 and people are down in the dumps (or something to that effect) Bowl games DO make a difference' I agree. I wish we would've went out there and beat them up just like we did 3 months earlier. I was excited when Sean Callahan said that there are a couple of kickers that will be able to help Nebraska out in the fall. He said that one of them was an 'Alex Henery'. That was a relief to hear after that Sade kiddo changed his mind about coming here. So, will be an interesting next few months!

Man those boys were tough. I think that's what I miss the most. The way Nebraska used to just smash anyone who got in their way. They played smashmouth football better than anyone else around. Our defense is coming back to that way of playing. We've just got to make some changes on offense so that our O line will play the way those boys used to play. Thanks for the memories! We can be great again! GBR!

Let me know what you think. I thought that those news boys didn't mince any words. They see the problems on offense just like we do here on this board. You'll enjoy the good news from Sean Callahan too! Don't want to spoil it for ya!

Did anyone else catch Big Red Wrap Up tonight? Wow! They had the guy from AP, Dirk C from OWH and the guy from Lincoln Journal Star (Not Sipple-sorry can't think of his name!) Anyway, those three told it like it is. It was pretty impressive. They said that things have been pretty quiet but left me with the impression that change is in the air. Did anyone else feel like that after watching the show? So maybe they know something we don't know? I'm thinking that if there are going to be any changes that they would happen after signing day. If you watched the show, give me your take on it.

Who is Fairly? I mean, I never heard of him until the BSC Championship game but everyone who is interested in college football (and even some who aren't!) have heard of SUH!! Let's see how this Fairly kid does in the NFL. I agree with the notion that ESPN is scraping the bottom of the news barrel. SO GLAD TO HAVE CRICK BACK NEXT YEAR!! WHOO HOOO Throwing confetti!

YES!

Looks like Les is staying at LSU. Bo is an Ohio man-he wouldn't go to Michigan (and can't since we're in the Big 10) So I think we're going to be ok!

Yeah, I didn't think he would leave either. He said after their bowl game that he wasn't going to leave but I guess people weren't listening or thought that once Michigan called him he would go running. I love it when ESPN is wrong!!

Yep-he's not going anywhere : http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6011557

I think if we're just talking about football then my choice would be Wisconsin. Barry Alverez (their AD) played for Nebraska so there is that connection. Not all Wisconsin fans are jerks. We have friends who are die hard Badger fans and they are great. I think that the serious Wisconsin fan is just as passionate about football as we are and are knowledgeable about football too. I think Wisconsin. OSU is probably more like us with regards to overall university philosophy. We'll see.

Thanks! We're looking forward to smashmouth football again! We haven't seen it since we were in the Big 8! (Except from our defense of course!) As for the refs-been there done that especially this year. But glad to be coming to a conference that appreciates good physical football! Thanks for the welcome and welcome to our board!

Looks like Les just went along for the ride! He told Michigan he's staying at LSU! http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6011557

Gotta be the explanation. Or they just figured we didn't care about a meaningless bowl and didn't gig us for the pitiful performance. Or maybe they had mercy on us for the most trying season since 2007. I was sure we'd be unranked after that loss to Washington. That was some pitiful football we put on display. I would categorize this as a gift. When they vote on these polls, don't they take into account our total season? I guess I'm of the opinion that we had some really good games and some really good wins (MU, OKSt) and we lost by so little in some of those games. I wouldn't base the entire season on a post season game, especially since they saw us obliterate this same team 3 months before.

I agree about the stability part however, I don't think Bo is going to leave Nebraska. He waited too long to get this job so why would he give it up after 3 seasons? He's got unfinished business to take care of-a conference title and a national championship. After he achieves those two things he might get the itch to go elsewhere but I doubt it. People forget that he is also a husband and a dad. To up root his family once again would not make Mrs. Pelini or the kids very happy. Nebraska is a great place to raise your kids. I think they will stay put. IMHO

No offense, but I disagree. I think we will see some changes after the coaches meeting. There's plenty of time. Things change so quickly for people from one day to the next. So, it could be that there are things going on on the inside that we don't even know about. I'm hoping that we will have some changes. One change that I would like to see is team unity. Back in the day those boys were tighter than a drum. They might not have liked each other but they sure respected each other and they played for each other. They were a team. I miss that. I remember when those boys weren't allowed to sit down (unless they were hurt) They were always standing up, cheering for whatever team (offense/defense)was on the field. They were turning around and encouraging the fans to cheer. It will be interesting to see what happens before Husker season 2011.

Well so much for your prediction! The NU boys have now extended their winning streak to 11-0!! Jeter Helps Streaking Nebraska To 63-62 Win http://www.wowt.com/sports GO BIG RED!!!
