OLDMAN

Huskers start off strong with a good combination of passing and running and clemson won't keep up. Clemson keeps it close the whole game with spiller and davis, but the blackshirts stop the run and clemson becomes predictable with the pass. Husker pull away in the 4th quarter and prevail.

GBR!!!!

 

HOPE ITS A WALLHANGER.

I'm here to balance out all the 12 year old RAH RAHS who hang out here!

yeah I think cody is pretty much out of the picture for good. otherwise we would see him at practices.

 

have you been at practices looking for him?

What happened to him?

Did he get caught stealing TVs from Wal-Mart?

We don't have much of an offensive line, but 28 is still capable of making plays...

 

For example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJGfoudDm38

 

Like I said earlier, if yall can keep him contained, we're in trouble. But in the open field, you don't want any of him.

I'm much more in tune with the times now as I sit on the porch and throw water balloons at kids.

For those that dare to walk on my grass out comes the BB gun.

CLEMSON 42

NU 24

I just went to Nebraska furniture mart last night to pick up my 50 inch plasma to view the defeat!

HAPPY FESTIFUS!

 

Bo has only lost one bowl game in his entire major coaching career.

 

Oh yeah? Well our coach has never lost a bowl game

....as a head coach...he's lost the Music City Bowl and last year the Chic-fil-A Bowl.

Ganz will be remembered as the QB who only beat one good team , KU.

I sure as hell wouldn't be putting him on any GREATEST list.

Clemson 42

NU 24

Maybe a little but they sure will be good in a couple of years because of guys like Daquan Bowers

If Da'Quan can live up to be even close to as good as our last #93(Gaines Adams, think Suh but more of a beast), I'll be ecstatic.

 

I hate when people discuss football like they do baseball stats.

The reason baseball nuts discuss stats is to cover up the fact that it's a boring sport.

Have to generate some sort of interest!

I prefer to discuss football in observations as to what I will see and not how many yards etc a team makes.

Yes, Clemson will actually find ways to score NEGATIVE points...

If anyone could do it, it'd be us.

I know most of you were losing sleep thinking that we MIGHT play Georgia Tech!

They would take us to the woodshed!

But seriously folks the only way we are going to win the game is ball control by keeping their Offense off the field.

42-24 CLEMSON!

Just looking at Clemson on YouTube, their secondary is pretty fast. This may not bode all that well for Ganz - I think he gets picked at least once. I don't know how their def. will do against a rolling QB, though. Ganz just can't force anything.

 

I do think we have success using short routes vs. their linebackers - especially with Swifty and McNeill. I'd give the advantage to our OL, too. Hopefully, Lucky can get back to full strength, too. Helu should do pretty well.

 

Another poster noted that Clemson's DB's might be soft if they get knocked around. If that's true, then Gilmore and Ron Brown should work their magic and create receivers that block downfield. Niles Paul loves to block DBs!

 

We've got to minimize the damage from turnovers, too. I'd be real surprised if we have positive turnover margin in this game. Maybe Suh and Potter can get those big mitts up there and create something.

 

Their big receiver is going to be tough to handle. We can't let Spiller or Ford get loose either. Those guys are dangerous. Hopefully we bring the heat and put their QB on his butt.

 

If we don't let them get points off turnovers, minimize their big plays, not slow down in the red zone ourselves, and chew up clock - we win.

 

NU 30, Clemson 27

I guess I'm just not as optimistic as the other husker fans.

Our D-line a strength?

Gimme a break!

I guess you could call it the only strength on the entire defense.

Once Clemson breaks thru the line our linebackers will stumble and bumble and its off to the races for Clemson. They have too much speed on both sides of the ball for us.

And Clemson's defense is too fast for us.

Think in terms of an Okie St.

They will bust thru our line and cause havoc.

Look for numerous interceptions by Ganz.

His dink passes will be picked off at the line.

People wake up!

"OUR" signature win was against KU.

Big deal!

We beat all the rest of the LOSERS in the Big 12.

Reality check!

With most coaching changes there are a few players that leave the system .

Have there been any that have quit the program since Bo got here because of him?

Travis Justice says that iOWA sTATE was the WORST looking team in the big 12.

He's seen all the teams play.

We are jumping up and down because we beat them.

Times are bad when you start thinking of teams like ISU and Baylor as toss up games.

We'll probably lose the OKLA game, Kansas, and even the Colorado game.

The Baylor game is a TOSS UP.

^^^^

to long didn't read

Times really have changed when you fear a loss to Iowa State.

How sad.

Chase played up to expectations, every team that gets in his face, he does nothing but make mistakes, take him out of his comfort level and Mizzou will lose every time.

I look for Texas to make them cry again this week.

That was kinda unclassy to rub their face in it. I would also like to give some credit to the Cowboys. I think MU played bad, but I think that had an awful lot to do with how well the Cowboys played.

 

 

normally I would agree... but I was glad to see them lose in light of the comments made by daniel. normally I would always cheer for the B12N. i even cheered for CU last year against OU and KSU against texas

I was looking at Chase and he appears to be a little pudgy guy who stands 5 yards behind the yard of scrimage No wonder people can't get to him. But OKIE St with their D did.

He would make a poor NFL Qb.

And I predict he will balloon up to 300 pounds within in 10 years.

A fat beer drinking slob.

Well, the crazy ass in me would like to see him chug a case of red bull and tear into his ass like a mongoose on meth.

 

The Husker in me wants him to remember it for a few years from now and be polite about it in the moment.

I'd like to see Bo cry on camera.

And maybe that will inspire the team for the hurt that they are inflicting on him.

Lets face it, they could be motivated like its a DO or DIE situation and get pumped up to win.

Use that internal will power to will themselves to win at all costs.

But in this day and age its hard to motivate the Xbox 360 athletes because its just not that important .

Lifeless zombies forever stumbling bumbling just so they can get off the field to play their video games back at the million dollar training facility.

Take some of their luxury living arangements away and crack the whip.

But lets NOT hurt their feelings or their self esteem will be damaged all their lives!

You don't think the 18-23 year olds that continually hear that what they are doing every day is "unneccessary and stupid" by the national media have to deal with it?

 

..........and I'm not talking about football players, I'm talking about soldiers.

 

How's that for a little perspective?

The media has more to do with the state of our nation than people think.

The hollywood and democrat social elite sit up on their thrones looking down on the rest of us.

They treat us like their little children wanting to take care of us.

They view illegal immigrants the same way.

Let them all in, they need a place to live, we'll give them free schooling,FREE health care and even help them buy homes illegally.

All the while looking down from the clouds like GODS, not knowing how they are screwing up the country for the rest of us.

Okay. Here's a fun one:

 

Would you trade a win over TT, Oklahoma or Kansas for a loss to Iowa State?

 

Cause that kinda psycho mood swing thing happens several times a season with lower echelon teams.

 

Not to mention every Sunday in the NFL.

 

Sure...that trade would be perfectly fine with me!

We are tanking just like last year.

Its in their psyche already.

Down for the count and at this point I don't expect another win this year.

HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND KICK SOME TAIL!

 

HUSKERS VS THE WORLD THIS SATURDAY!

 

GET JACKED UP!

 

BEAT TECH!

 

GO BIG RED!

 

10 year old kids in other nations are considered grown up and work like adults.

Our country is the only one that coddles our youth and tries to extend their childhood way past puberty.

These players were "Men" before they graduated high school.

Like others have said they are out in the real world now.

Take it like a man or cry like a baby.

I will say this: we were even lower in the publics eye last year under Clownahan.

 

 

really?

 

what about in the AP's eye?

 

tell me ONE game under cally that the AP predicted that kind of spread??

 

ONE GAME...

 

this really is a new low...

 

but ain't happening.

 

TT isn't getting that many points... no way!

 

 

GO BO!!

This is what you call a sucker bet.

21 point dogs , so why not more?

The people in vegas most know something.

We play better away from home

But I still say 77-14

And I still won't watch them on TV.

I think we can beat Kansas. They are just as one-dimensional as we are on offense.

 

I agree and I been sayin this since before the season began, however I also said we could beat VT and that didnt happen so who knows.

 

But we do have Kansas at home this year and Kansas was our most embarrassing loss last year IMO and I think, (I hope) that our boys would want to redeem themselves and have an axe to grind all night long on Kansas. Plus Kansas was nothin but a fluke last year anyhow, yes they were good and yes they beat the crap out us but they were WAY to overrated last year and its been proven this year after their loss to South Florida and barely beatin Iowa St.

Its like having a heart to heart talk with your kids as they go from high school to adult hood.

I told them if I knew they were screwing up in life I would sit them down and talk to them about it.

No babysitting talk just plain honest no holds barred down in the dirt you are F-ING up.

I'm a realist and I step back and see the situation in my opinion what it is.

You can all be RAH RAH types but is that the truth?

I don't think any of the team actually reads this so I'm not concerned if I hurt their feelings or heaven forbid their self esteem.

Most of this board reminds me of those soccer moms who give out trophies to their last place team.

The players know they suck but the mom's feel sorry for them and want to boost them so they arn't scarred their whole life. When my son was on one of those teams that finished last I questioned the mother doing this insane crap. Her eyes blinked and she couldn't believe the nerve I had. She then got in her range rover and no doubt dropped her kids off at the sitter and went tanning.

After this TT blow out you'll see this team tank and go thru the motions.

Like a boxer whose lost one too many times and just wants to collect a paycheck.

He might win the Heisman but really its not that great of an award.

All politics.

And remember he won't make a good pro QB because he's TOO SHORT.

And I don't think he's ever taken a snap under center.

Stands 5 yards behind the line.

And don't forget to always.....and I mean always bet against the Heisman winner in a bowl game!

Money in the bank!

Guys no offence but if we cant beat VaTech in our house theres no way we can beat Kansas. Sorry not drinkin it this time.

 

 

KSU and Baylor are our only winnable games left.

 

 

Bo better clean house over the winter and get these loser players out of here.

I knew it was just a matter of time before OLDMAN would come on here bumping his gums.....come on dude, "loser players"? Classy

I haven't seen any "GOOD" players on this team.

None of them would ever be first team on say a Mizzou , Texas or Okla .

Its like they say , you can dress up a PIG but it's still a PIG.

Guys no offence but if we cant beat VaTech in our house theres no way we can beat Kansas. Sorry not drinkin it this time.

KSU and Baylor are our only winnable games left.

Did anyone save this aledged jersey with the spit on it. It might be key evidence in the spitting scandle.

 

And how do we know this isn't one of Chase Daniel's OWN boogers coming back for his revenge for getting flicked instead of eaten in (presumably) the 2006 game that they lost?

 

A rogue booger, if you will.

 

 

Because anybody can tell a booger from a loogie.

PLEASE!

There are just some people who spit when they talk!

Like my MUTHA-INLAW!

Personally I'd like to see our whole team spit at the other team!

Sorry someone had to get banned....

 

Anyone, on to posting. I am just back to reiterate that this is a rebuilidng year, a new staff and that you all should be far more patient. Getting whipped by the #4 team in the country when you are a team in the bottom half of the Big 12 (which you definitely are) is not a sign that Bo is awful. HE needs time to get the team trained in his system. Ifdid think NU should have done better than it did, but I fully expected a pretty big win by Mizzou. Those of you who think the sky is falling need to chill. Nebraska has a lot of great things that will help it come back, but history and tradition don't suit up and take the field and until you convince some mor egood players that they should come, which you probably will, to do the suiting up, there will be some games like this.

 

I have to agree. It will take some time. Bo needs 5, count em, 5 years to rebuild this program. Pinkel and Mangino took more than that. Give Pelini 5 years and he'll have the ship pointed back in the right direction, heck, it may be back in 3, considering the talent MU losses after this year, and the talent KU losses after next year. The next two recruiting classes will be critical for success at NU. I know I'm stating the obvious here, but patience is badly needed. You think it's bad here?? Just take a good long look at the mess KSU is in and feel lucky you're not in their shoes. The wagon is broken and heading for a steep cliff.

I predicted a 52-28 mizzou score.

I started to watch the game but quickly recorded it on tape in another room.

I then watched the other games.

My thoughts are that this team hasn't improved from last year.

We STILL have the same losing mentality.

Its like an old boxer who gets beat fight after fight.

He goes thru the motions.

This team will not improve until all of Callahan's recruits are out of the system.

They are programed to fail.

It will take at least 4 years to get to a 8 win season.

So anyone want to predict the TT game?

TT 77-17

Well, get mad at Mark all you want. A LOT of people are making a 50+ prediction.

 

But most of those people don't have huge heads that take up the whole widescreen when I'm watching in HD. That guy has a huge melon and it drives me nuts how much of the camera it takes up.

 

 

and his ego is even bigger

I have mizzou winning 52-28

Everyone picked the Huskers last week, and we proved them wrong once already! How about proving them wrong a second time?!

Yeah!

MissOURI 52-28
