Ok, so i have not been here in a while, but i have to respond to this: I think Bo is a decent guy, but he cant handle the job. The best teams were not his players, he cant fix the defense and we never saw the players get better. The pipeline is prolly the 9th best O-line in our league. Not one big win. EVER. So let me say that i would have no problem saying this to Bo and here is my email. husker153@yahoo.com. I would be glad to set up a meet a d greet with you face to face, I dont like your tone or your bitchy attitude and i want to say that to your face. I really dont care for you. Im certainly not scared.

Stoopids not coming dont care.....need a qb

I could not agree with this post more.....I have said that Bo will do well to repeat an 8 win year......I think that 5-3 in conference will win the North....I'm not drinking the Kool aid......nope......but I can't see another team in the north more settled at more positions than the Huskers......defense will carry this team...if and thats a huge if........A QB steps up and gives us a dual threat or a big arm....then a 9 or 10 win year is possible.......Bo will have depth next year...atleast more depth than this year.....to me that is the Key to slowly building a winner Mizzou, KU and CU played alot of young players....that may help next year...but down the road it will hurt them......I also like the way this staff has found players that Bill simply would not have played........not a contender...but the Huskers are done giving up 50+ plus to anyone.......

I read thread after thread that gives NU no shot because we have new starters coming in 2009. So.......... The Huskers have very talented guys ready to step up......I can't wait to see Lee Witt Spano and Green fighting for the Job.....and oh by the way, the playbook has been cut way back, it helped Joe and it will help the new starter...this is hardly as bad as watching Mike Grant or Mickey Joseph....... DL........lots of things here say speed and toughness.....I like the redshirts stepping in, probably see a late JUCO signing and the Baker show will be taking the field next year....NOT ONE TEAM IN THE NORTH HAS THE TALENT NU HAS ON THE DL......Mizzou and KU both take HUGE hits along the line......so step away from the ledge........put the gun away and smile.....the Huskers have a chance to be special....could be the first time in years that the Huskers will have 4 guys that will play on sundays across the line. LB's.......this unit has nowhere to go but up....and agin, with the redshirts and returners, the Huskers will atleast be the Best set in the North........if Bo can coach this group up, find a walk on or two for added depth, we should be just fine. I see the Husker playing well next year on special teams next year as well because 50+ players redshirted(counting walkons)....the whole team will be deeper, faster and stronger.... Holla

I agree that things are looking better....the defense will be better next year....... I like the Talent on the O-line and the staff has done a nice job with the young guys...if Christensen comes back...look for them to be very good. The Backs and receivers are better that we will see most days and as good as we will see.....OU may have better WR's.....but I like Paul and Co. to be very good. The QB situation is up in the air....but it reminds me of the old days when we had talented guys battling LEE Spano Green and Witt are studs.....I also expect to see the Huskers run more and more Option and QB run pass option next season....with a better Defense ...look for the Huskers to step up their Keep away game plan....the spread don't work if you don't have the ball.... I guess in a long winded way...I just think that we are fine at QB and the overall improved play by the rest of the team should help the transition. The D-line will be better if SUH stays and a big year outta him in 09 will only bring up his NFL stock.....Look for Bo too upgrade this unit in the offseason. LB's .....nowhere to go but up with this group....look for alot of youth and better speed...still a long ways to go. secondary....decent talent and agin...bo will keep imroving this group...still....thay are a decent unit in 09... overall....I think 09 will be decent...I expect the Huskers to go 6-2 in the big12 and 9-3 regular season........ that is where we need to be.....2010 is where we return to our good Home schedule and Bo will be in year 3.....that when I expect to return to the top 15 in the country and contend

I would agree that the offense has not clicked since Crouch....that no joke......Lord had his moments, but NU has lacked a decent offense since Crouch Last year the Huskers fielded a team that should have been rolling up yards...but BC and Keller Never got it goin....not until the threat of the QB running was returned to the Huskers offense , did NU look good......as to your claim that NU only scored because the other teams subs were in is a joke....the Huskers Never Played KU's Subs or CU's Subs...and KSU played hard to the end..........nobody plays their subs agin Nebraska....they alsways want to pour it on.....Give that a rest....Ganz and the boys turned the corner and why?????? Because man for man...the Huskers have more talent on the offensive side of the ball than anyone in the North ................and yes this includes MU and KU armi, i bet i would love what you are smokin! MU beat us 41-6. Thankfully we did not have to play KU last season, it would have been a big win for them too. the O still needs polishing. the 08 have not lost a game......so if you are goin to talk football.then tell me how MU has more talent TE......Cauffman....Hetzer???????? O-line............no doubt NU QB.........Ganz 19 td's 8 int's in three games......or Chase....30 td's all year......I like Ganz at home +NU RB...Lucky and Co. are light years ahead of Earl Goldsmith.....NU wins this one WR..........Maclin is awsome.......but the Tigers live and die with TE and RB play....got to like a draw at home in this column........slight edge to MU unfortunately for you.Keller and BC won't be around to mismanage the game...when Ganz or Lee breaks off a big run early to give the Huskers a lead at home....You will be N then

I agree it will be more fun next year.......however, The Star System and ranking recuiting classes has been pretty accurate over the year.....the teams that land in the top 25 generally play in the top 25 of the country....thats where you have to ask yourself."why not NU"....the answer is clear....Callahan All you need to do is to look at the mess he made of the Raiders.....then Look at the mess he made At NU........think it's a coincidence?............not likely........BC was a decent fellow who could not coach a large group of players...he is a great recruiter, but a position coach at best. Pelini has shown his ability to coach half a team....now that we have given him the shot too coach it all, we will have to wait and see....keeping Watson was so huge for this team, it showed that Bo was no ego freak whom thought he new it all.....he knows the defense is in trouble and he knows he can fix that..he also saw that the offense was clicking and kept his mits outta that.......that is a 180 from BC...... but this thread is about talent........the Huskers played well below their talent level last year...they were also bringing in their 4 th QB under BC......and rebuilding the d-line.........the Huskers did a poor job of all those things.......most if not all can be laid at the hands of BC......Keller was a joke, did he not watch the spring game when Ganz was playin like a stud?..............why did he stay with coz after the 05? you can lower expectations....but I see wins over VT, KU, CU ,ISU , KSU, BU and a better than 50% shot to beat MU..............talent is there.....and please people, stop with the CU will beat NU next year in Lincoln........they lost a ton of players, and they come to Lincoln.......just stop with that .

I read thread after thread that says KU and MU are WAY TO Talented to beat Fact....Nobody has recruited better that NU , Not MU KU Or KSU and CU has had some decent runs even... they are down the list Name me a better stable of RB's in the north? Lucky, Castille , Helu.....not to metntion the incoming guys and Kenny Wilson Our Recievers are as good as MU's they looked like NFL studs when Ganz finally got the nod and got them the ball. Paul and Co. are BIG and Fast Nobody in the north and maybe only OU can field an O-line as good as NU's..... Our returning LB's are talented and the speed from Assante ,Culbert, Thenarse will give us a decent shot to slow down the spread offense....there are also very good players coming off injury or redshirt. Whitmore will play early, that and we return guys like .Prince ,Blue and Murillo The D-line maybe the real project, but that is where Bo excells.....there is talent there and they will also welcome some new blood.....look for stiff competition and a tough conditioning program to whip this group into shape...I'm not calling for the 85 Bears....but these guys will be as good as anyone in the North. Callahan wrecked the last two jobs he has had, the recent staff was decent at getting talent and terrible at getting it to play....from what we have seen from Bo and Watson.......I think the Huskers will finally be able to turn Callahan's big time classes into WINS

I will vote Ganz.....the Huskers were horrible on offense until he started pulling the trigger....his running ability opened up the offense and he can hit the open receiver.he needs to reign in the overthrown balls....but he will score twice as many TD's as the next guy on the squad....furthermore....he brings confidence and leadership to the team.....Ganz is N Bottom line: Ganz has a better arm than Daniel....and he is a much better runner than Reesing.......I can't wait to see him running an option play to the short side of the field with Castille's big ass on the recieving end of the pitch......when he ran the ball the Husker offense was unstopable......

Why weren't they talking to YOU mister! What were you doing during football season? Screwing around? Smoking and boozing it up? Skipping class? If you ever want to get the attention of Pelini and Cotton, you have to EARN it! But...in the meantime...Have you ever considered Iowa State? We may have a spot on the roster for a fine, upstanding young man such as yourself.... kids that screw around, kids that are smoking and drinking? sounds more like a colorado student rather than ISU It's all part of our Master Plan over here in Ames....first we get all the screw ups and pretty soon we OWN Council Bluffs! Bwhahahaha! Oops...we already own Council Bluffs don't we. Uh...soon we'll own Paxton! We aim low over here...that way we're never disappointed. NO WAY!!! We ain't givin' up Olie's (sp) Big Game Bar!!!! I heard it closed..have not been there in about 6 or 8 years

Good argument-- all the way to the woulda shoulda coulda part. Then ya lost me somewhere along the yellow brick road to that never-never land where Bo can retroactively win games at a school he wasn't even coaching at. Expecting a 5-7 team under a new coach and staff to compete with two top ten teams with established coaches returning lots of starters is one thing, predicting a win against them is another. While anything is possible (every game is winnable), expecting, maybe even predicting it is .... something else. GO BO!! Are you saying that a Bo Pelini team gives up 60+ to CU? Are you saying that a Bo Pelini team lets Charles roll up 200+ yards in the 4th Quater? I not taking a shot at you but I don't think pointing out the obvious is wishfull thinking.........Solich would have run the option offense agin So. Miss and won that game too.....I'm sure thats a wacky statement Bottom line is that NU was way too talented to take a crap in there hat every game......that team was at worst an 8 win team with a rough schedule....and if you want me to really get wacky....I would have bet that had TO taken this team over in the spring of 07......they would have won 9 games.....it's coaching and talent.....

So. Miss in 2004 any of the ISU losses both OSU losses Both Texas Losses the 2005 MU debacle the 2004 T Tech loss in Lincoln Auburn Cotton Bowl any KU game Not really trying to rewrite history....only thinking of how poorly this team has been coached

I don't see anyone outside of recievers getting any playing time next year....injuries could change that...but the Offense seems to be stacked. the defense will be a crap shoot....between 07 redshirts and returners from last year....I don't see a rush of true freshman starters.....but I do see alot of playing time for the incoming DB's and safeties as well as LB's just too add depth and injuries may force a guy like Compton into the lineup

Is it Mendoza? I don't really know where he is at ....but this team needs all the athletes it can get....he has great speed and toughness....if he is healthy...he is ahead of Helu....and mendoza....I believe that Mendoza or Wilson or Helu will find there way to the defense....but I'm just speculating......I would like to see wilson's size and speed at LB if he had a nose for the ball....he never seemed scared of contact....but I would not be surprised if he is 2nd behind Lucky.....to me, Glenn is a mirage in the desert
