I'm sitting by the mailbox today waiting! 15 days!!! GBR!!!

Season Ticket holders have the opportunity to move to the new East Stadium and I need some help from HuskerBoard. I am currently in the last row of the North Stadium and I am thinking of requesting to move. Here are my pros and cons of each. Am I missing anything? What should I do? NORTH STADIUM PROS Nobody behind me so I can stand when I want (last row) Lower view CONS Can't see far side of field Can't see result of play in regards to first downs Can't see jumbotron EAST STADIUM PROS Will be able to see the whole field Will be able to see result of plays View of the jumbotron Bathrooms and Concessions close CONS Higher view https://twitter.com/HuskersFund/status/276371857060536320/photo/1

I agree with you 100%. You mentioned something that is huge. PENALTIES! We can blame the officials all we want but they don't create false starts! There have been so many!

Against an atrocious D. Let's not play coy, kids: Against horrible defenses, Watson can be counted on to deliver a quality game plan about half the time. Against solid defenses, he'll do it one out of every ten tries. He is a HUGE factor holding this team back from being truly elite. As for his replacement . . . Absolutely not Norm Chow. As someone else said, he is excellent at running a Pro-Style offense and not much else. Now that UCLA seems bent on running the Pistol offense, you'll notice that Norm is not worth much and their offense is one of the worst in the country. I like the idea of bringing in some guys from LSU, but hasn't LSU had a relatively anemic offense this year? For awhile, they were ranked dead last in passing. Part of that can likely be explained by the quality SEC defenses they see, but goddamn they were awful for awhile. The question is whether we want to continue down the track of running a spread offense. I think we would do well to keep going in that direction and not be afraid to mix in some I-Formation and when necessary. Being a run-first team makes the play-action pass very dangerous. Sprinkle in some Wildcat here and there and we'd be good to go. Since when is a top 30 rush defense atrocious? Also, we had our 3rd string QB and a banged up Helu. I liked the creativity with Burkhead. I am not a Watson lover but I think these conversations should wait until after the season. Would you all be going crazy if we go 12-2? Would you all be wanting to fire people? You sound like Iowa Fans! And if we score even "one" TD vs the aggies we're 11 - 1 and in the NC hunt. But naaaa......we wouldn't want that. And if we score any offensive TDs vs Texas we're likely 12 - 0 and in the NC hunt. Nope.....we don't want that either. One of these years we won't have a NC caliber defense to bail us out and we'll just see how thrilled we are with five or more losses. Lots of IF's there. So, you are going to blame a coach for the Texas game? There were a lot of dropped passes in that game. That's not coaching, that's execution and athleticism. Coaches also can't control injuries. Do I think that they made awful adjustments against A&M...YES. Do I think we are national championship caliber without Taylor Martinez...NO!

Nebraska - Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl??? The Big East Champion, most likely UCONN will be in the Fiesta Bowl...

Are you sure they weren't hoisting up the Lamar Hunt Trophy? That's what the winner of the "Border War" wins.

This is a ridiculous conversation. We have games to play yet this season. Watson is our guy. I think he prepared very well for yesterday's game and came up with a great game plan.

We gotta win first! I will be there and be cheering on the team. Beebe is irrelevant after we win the game. No reason to boo him. He will look stupid calling out our fan base when we cheer like the good sports we are.

The university will not have any tickets remaining. They sent out a letter a couple weeks ago to the season ticket holders that did not get tickets in the allotment if we were to win yesterday. I got the letter. Good thing I bought tickets the day they went on sale through ticketmaster. Your best bet is stubhub or similar sites.

I was on the field after that game. Here is the conversation (as I heard it). Cameraman - Hey, can anyone help me put this mic on the top of this camera. It won't go into the slot. Barney Cotton - Go to hell you poor excuse of a journalist. Carl - I'll help but I have to hurry to get into the locker room before I get in trouble with BO. You know he's not happy about the loss. Cameraman - OK I'm going to hold it down like this and you push the mic into the slot. Carl - Give me that you moron! You are doing it all wrong...OOPS! I broke it. I gotta go. Bo is not going to be happy. Kyler Reed - Run coach...RUN!

OK so this is my last "Conspiracy Theory" on the Big 12 vs Nebraska but check this out. Texas Game Penalties NEBRASKA - 10 for 94 yards TEXAS - 4 for 53 yards Texas A&M Game Penalties NEBRASKA - 16 for 145 yards TEXAS A&M - 2 for 10 yards 26 penalties to 6! The biggest part to this... Texas Game Officials Officials: Referee: Greg Burks; Umpire: Scott Campbell; Linesman: George Gusman; Line judge: Kevin Mar; Back judge: Shawn Hochuli; Field judge: Nick Lave; Side judge: Gene Semko; Scorer: Steve Morrison Texas A&M Officials Officials: Referee: Greg Burks; Umpire: Scott Campbell; Linesman: George Gusman; Line judge: Kevin Mar; Back judge: Shawn Hochuli; Field judge: Nick Lave; Side judge: Gene Semko; Scorer: Tom Reber; WOW!

I haven't heard any updates on his leg. Can someone enlighten me?

It would be cool to see him in the student section with his face painted. They would never know.

How are you following this Rivals guy? I want to follow.
