...whoever points thru the line and says, "we're goin' right there."

IMO, Callahan actually coached 'down' true talent with magic schemes that would solve everything. I'm guessing BO and company will be much better at just 'turning them loose'. I look for Lucky to show FAR more burst and footspeed, when he's simply allowed to play on INSTINCT. Noticed this in the 'on field' situations with the USC stable of backs. They simply turned their legs on at 100%. I think Lucky was far more difficult to bring down in his High School films.

hey, thread within a thread... love it. in no particular order: -whole combination hogie from Pontillios -wings from Watering Hole -cheesesteaks and 10 cent (as i remember) schlitz's from Chartroose Caboose -loose meat cheese sandys from Waldo's -fancy drinkin' at McGuffy's ...

Bo Pelini never retreats; he just attacks in the opposite direction. Bo Pelini always tests positive for steroids. Not that he uses steroids. It's because steroids are made from Bo Pelini. Bo Pelini could strangle you with a cordless phone. Bo Pelini played Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun and won. If Bo Pelini misspells a word, your dictionary is wrong. A duck's quack does not echo. Bo Pelini is solely responsible for this phenomenon. When asked why he will simply stare at you, grimly. Bo Pelini has never blinked in his entire life. Never. Bo Pelini can divide by zero. While urinating, Bo Pelini is easily capable of welding titanium. Bo Pelini can touch MC Hammer. Bo Pelini doesn’t wear a watch; HE decides what time it is. Bo Pelini can blow bubbles with beef jerky. Bo Pelini once participated in the running of the bulls. He walked. Bo Pelini knows the last digit of pi. Bo Pelini can jump-start a car using jumper cables attached to his nipples.

ya, in the 'glory days' 98 or thereabouts, big fat guys are wearing tee shirts saying 'get used to it'... I believe a 'lighten up Francis' is in order...

OK, if you were an LSU fan, how would you feel? if he was our DC and we were going to the NC game, how would you feel? try that shoe on for size.....then complain about it some more.....not me.....he has earned his chance to help his guys win it all! Yeah, well put. If we had a great season that put us in the National Championship due in large part to our Defense, and our DC was leaving, wouldn't we want the ENTIRE Nebraska Football squad to be apart of it. No chinks in the chain, we started this, we're finishing it. In the end, this isn't a big deal and could possibly lead to better things for us. This is the confidence booster that Pelini needs to show that it's on. The Huskers are coming!

Don't understand the either/or scenario of TO vs. BO in fundamental control of the program. IMO very successful transitions of any type of closely held organization can be best served when the new guard works for a period of time with the old... just plainly ignoring the BC years, I see this as a very healthy way for both new and old to ensure the bottom line; making the program better.

BOrn again HARD!

My coach could beat up your coach.

... and please, a football may never be referred to as a 'rock' in these parts ever again!

it'll be fine, but can we add some wrinkles and please re-name the offensive scheme??? every time i hear 'WCO' associated with the Huskers, it makes me wanna puke! prairie fire thunderstorm whatever...

if true, what about current assistants? 1. isn't Watson visiting recruits w/ TO? 2. OWH says 4 (?) assistants will be retained... gotta have slots open, and I don't see it

That's a pretty bold statement considering you have teams like Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, and Kansas in the way. I fully expect Missouri and Kansas to be one or two year wonders. I don't think they can keep their programs at the current level. Is that just wishfull thinking or do you really not expect Missouri to cash in on a recruiting bonanza from their current success? They did take your 5 Star quarterback from you.... Harrison Beck, Josh Freeman... who cares. I'm definitely done with living off of the star-crap.

for all of us just a couple of months on the board (which I love, and that is now running my life BTW), would those of you with all the N's with your post, please explain the 'lack of love' for IBR... he has been golden with predictions since I've been here... assuming of course the reality of BP as our new head man

Coz followed the true tradition of the blackshirts: every starter gets one at the beginning of the year. That's how it's always been. Problem was, when those guys couldn't perform anymore, he should have taken them away. Do you guys not remember that the whole premise of the blackshirts was to make the starting D stand out? I have to say I fundamentally agree with ya... given this quite a bit of thought. Blackshirts are after all a defensive 'team' thing. It would be a different tradition if it was purely recognizing individual accomplishments. Guys get 'coverage' sacks, picks happen when a QB is scrambling for his life, backers pick up great hits because a stellar rush-end was requiring double/triple coverage... and on and on. My question is this; should the D be held to some list of team goals to again wear the blackshirts? (my start of list within 'game' scenarios - 2 interceptions; 4 sacks; 2 consecutive shutouts; ranked opponent held to 14 points; etc...) have at it.

LOVE THAT!

the way I see it, 'Restore the Order' includes y'all too... (did I use that right?) Roll Tide!

probably just prior to the first game next season. That's my guess. ...a little embellishment; wouldn't requiring a bit of 'earning' be a missed opportunity if they were once again simply given to the entire starting defense? (it's the 'earning' part i'm wondering about...)

wondering... now that blackshirts have officially been taken off by the '07 team, and with new coaching (whoever that may be) needing to fully accept the 'Nebraska Way' as a prerequisite; exactly when and how is the blackshirt tradition reinstated?

bullcrap... they don't have saltwater aquarium guy!!! or do they?

holy crap!!! ...i'd almost forgotten almost.

thanks for that h13, just searchin' for clues like everyone else...

This is what they said on WOWT website: A Husker players meeting is set for 4 p.m. Tuesday. Channel 6 News cannot confirm this has anything to do with the search for a new coach, but we do know that AD Tom Osborne contacted LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini Sunday. Big Red Insider Sean Callahan says even the seniors who wrapped up their Husker careers last Friday have been invited to attend. The university says it is a normal post-season team meeting to discuss off-season schedules. can any former players or program people out there confirm that this team meeting is SOP... done similarly every year?
