  1. Good thing we're to the west of Ohio then!
  2. While I agree that Tommy had some poor throws, there were still quite a few that should've been caught. I'm just going to chalk this game up as one of those you're thankful to get out of alive.
  3. Feel bad for him and Turner, too. Turner's looked like an ankle injury, guy has just had bad luck.
  4. "They just capitalized on our mistakes" Correct me if I'm wrong, we forced zero turnovers. There weren't a ton of mistakes to capitalize on, it was more so Nebraska simply dominated a weaker team. Not sure if he is just loopy from the meds he took for his injury, or what. The guy needs to learn to take the loss and move on. I personally hope Bama hangs another half a hundred on them so I can entertain myself with more of his outlandish comments.
  5. Brandon Rigoni, the guy looked like he was shot out of a cannon on punt coverage.
  6. Will be coming up from Dallas for the Miami game, looking to get a picture of sapp sucking air on one knee "where'd my money go?"
  7. Could not have said this any better and I think this is something that needs to be stressed on here. In the video he made a comment that he is still solidly committed and the narrator even noted that Kendall is trying to recruit others to follow him up here. That is good enough for me. He is 18 years old, weighing all his options, and enjoying his time in the spotlight - how can you fault him? What worried me the most was that he mentioned he has seen blogs with Husker fans judging his commitment. No recruit should have to deal with that crap, especially one that has been trying his hardest to persuade others to come up here. Just my $0.02.
  8. Somehow, I think we will get a sneak peak of the documentary...possibly if/when Gameday makes an appearance in Lincoln for the Miami game.
  9. As someone mentioned above about listening to Mike and Mike this morning, you can tell these kids are gunning after the money. The front is that they want to be protected from injury, but it ultimately comes down to greed and those players wanting a slice of the pie. I know this isn't the most adult thing to say, especially because I find the Northwestern-Nebraksa games entertaining, but I'd love it if the university just said, thanks but no thanks were shutting the program down...how many other players from other schools would second guess their decision to try and strong arm their university? Btw, Northwestern athletics as a whole come out about even when you look at their balance sheet.
  10. I completely agree that the DII and DIII programs would be toast, not to mention probably several DI programs. There was a USA Today article last summer that mentioned how only 23 of 228 public institutions across the country generated enough revenue to cover their expenses, with 16 of those receiving some sort of subsidy. Here is the link to that article. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2013/05/07/ncaa-finances-subsidies/2142443/ I find it kind of ironic that we are all concerned that the huge revenue generate from these large television networks could drive college football to form 4-6 mega conferences, with 16 teams or so per conference but I think that unionization could do the same thing, if schools are forced to pay their players. I understand that the Northwestern athletes are not asking for pay now, as someone mentioned above, but this is slippery slope we are starting down. I understand that these players are frustrated, seeing how much revenue the programs generate, but at the same time a lot of that revenue goes to help fund the Olympic sports operating at a deficit. Is it fair that coaches, ADs, and others are making more money than the deserve? Probably not, but that is something the athlete knows coming into this. It is ultimately their decision to sign the LOI. You would hope that the coach also outlines how demanding the commitment to college athletics is, I know that several of the coaches I talked to during the recruitment process did (scheduling classes during these hours hours, when practices were, what time study hall was, etc.). What concerns me, and this is way out there and getting away from the main point, is lets say that one day a decision is made that the athletes' scholarships are earnings and thus taxable income. At what point does someone rise up and say it isn't fair that other students on academic scholarships, should be considered employees and their stipends and scholarships should be taxed? I just have a feeling that there are several ripple affects that could be felt down the road from decisions based on this issue and it has the jeopardy of ruining the university system as a whole. Again, off topic but a thought that sprouted in my head after reading this should be interesting to see how this plays out, although I am assuming it will be many years before we get a final decision on this.
  11. First, before it seems like I am hijacking the thread I am extremely happy with the hire of Warren, seems like only good things to come with him. Definitely seems like a guy that gets the players amped up, as well as establishing great connections from a recruiting standpoint. With that being said, did anyone else notice some of the defensive players having what looks like helmet stickers? I know starting at the :50 second mark, when they show Warren locked up with the player it looks like either skulls, or crossbones. I'm not entirely sure if this is the case, I tried to look through the rest of the clip and it looks like there might be a couple more instances of players with stickers on their helmets. Sorry to get off the main topic just wanted to see if it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.
  12. I might have looked at it wrong but was the USA Today article based of 2012 numbers, compared to the Forbes article using 2013? Again, I could be completely wrong...
  13. Pulling out stats like that is about as relevant as us showing you up in consecutive sellouts and Academic All-Americans determining today's performance and/or state of our programs. However, if you'd like to start playing that game we'd at least be able to beat you at something today.
  14. Love the arrogance of an Iowa fan not being able to realize the patchwork husker team on the field today. Injuries plagued this team for a good part of the year, congrats on the win but I'm sorry we will never view y'all as a rival. We haven't had a "real" rivalry since the big 12 ruined Nebraska/Oklahoma.
  15. Just left the stadium, absolutely the loudest I've ever heard memorial stadium. Granted, I was in the south end zone but you would've thought we won a national championship. I'd say it even beats the 08 Colorado game, fortunate enough to be there for that one. What a hell of a play! GBR!
  16. Man, oh man, your financial adviser has a fiduciary nightmare on his hands.
  17. Playing devil's advocate, he is the only coach on this list that hasn't won a conference championship in this time period.
  18. Not that it'll affect the outcome of this game, thank god for replay, but this officiating staff is absolutely awful.
  19. Knob Creek, single barrel. As for time, early enough to get a buzz before heading to my favorite patio bar in Dallas.
  20. Not that it really makes a difference, but most of the time when you see someone in shirt, tie, and blazer at the southern schools they are usually pledges. After pledgeship, you are allowed to wear whatever you choose. I usually just toss on a polo and khakis, they seem to do the trick. Really? I thought it was mostly all the frat guys, not just the pledges. Some still do, you're right, but for the most part you'll see polo and khakis. The first couple of months are too hot and humid to tailgate all day and then go to the game in anything else.

  22. The receiver was covered, but that never stopped him from bringing down the ball before. The pass was tipped, great defensive play by Alabama. UGA did everything they were supposed to do, and an Alabama Defensive Lineman got his hand on the ball. Instead of talking about whether the ball should have been spiked, how about Morgan not missing his field goal in the first half... how about not letting Alabama run Lacy right straight up the gut for 200 yards in the 3rd quarter, how about not having to punt with 2 minutes left and wasting time outs with a great defensive stop. UGA fans aren't making excuses, but when you or anyone else wants to start talking about how this or that could have gone this way or that way, you can take that back to the corn field circle jerk. Maybe we should talk about your conference championship game. You bucktoothed corn cobs. And I just sent you a nice PM. All of that garbage you just spewed doesn't make a freaking hill of beans. It came down to the last 10 seconds, your team got to that point, game in hand and choked. It's pretty simple. It sits with your QB, he f'ing blew it. Period. I'm not 100% sure, but when I originally watched the play it looked like Georgia's QB was intending to throw the fade to the corner of the endzone. The ball ended up being tipped and unfortunately, for Georgia, the 5 yard out was not their friend.
  23. Will he receive this before or after your English lesson?
