I think one thing that we really need to find is a coach that wants to stay. I havent heard anyone say this but not all coachs are going to be like TO. I think if Bo comes here and turns us around he will go to the NFL ASAP. I might be wrong but we need someone who will stay for decades not just years. If you look back all of the power houses had long term coaches, and that holds true today, for the most part.

At this point he has to go. Even if we whip CU 100 to zero, he has to go. No matter what BC does he get crap, not wearing an NU shirt, he is secretly giving Husker Nation a slap. Dosent stand on the field after a win, did he ever? Who knows, its to the point if he said he likes chicken people will think its a slight against us because we are a beef state. Just pul the trigger leave the man alone and let him go with what little he has left....

Yep we ate at Lazlo's. I had their voodoo chicken and for an appetizer I had their hot wings. Their hot wings were really really good! Oh yeah, I had alot of beer from there as well. Their garlic ranch is also very kicka$$!! it goes well with anything they have on the menu! Really? I'll have to try that next season when I'm back that way. You also need to get some of the Smoked Dutch Porter man that stuff is good. Dark beer but not overly stout... I am glad your dad had fun, I love taking outsiders to the game they just cant belive it.

Expect a barrage of Subaru Outbacks, carabiners, Nalgene bottles with Grateful Dead stickers on them, and North Face jackets. Don't forget the huge cloud of patchouli stench....oh wait those won't come to the game as it is killing the polar bears that live in brazil and.... ohhh wait I cant find the 75 page hand out they were giving away, the girl that was in charge of it had to get her 2007 Range Rover Sport into the shop so they could put on a lift kit... Man I hate it up there, sorry, have fun at the game. GBR

From Huskers.com Take it for what it is worth know one hear listens anyway... Season Tickets: Season tickets are currently sold out. An annual sustained donation to the Nebraska Athletic Department is required in order to secure football season tickets Single-Game Tickets: May be available as opposing teams return allotted tickets. Single-game home and away tickets were made available on Aug. 21 <-- Could it happen yes but there is a list for this also... people who give every year, and MIGHT get a ticket!! Look at the web site everything is sold out.... I dont know who your friends are that saw tickets for sale in the 80's, bet its the same ones that saw Bo running around with a realtor and TO last week.... Also I would assume NCAA watches this kind of stuff (reporting of income and the like). This site is just getting out of control....

I'm not anti-Frank. I like the guy. He's a Real Husker. He just wasn't the guy we needed as our Head Coach. He had some glory during his tenure, but most of that occurred because of the T.O. players. I think that if Frank had the same amount of time T.O. had he'd have figured it out. But when he was fired our house was not in good shape. When Solich was fired we were 9-3. If my ciphering is right, that is better than any of Callahan's seasons. It was also as good as many of Osborne's or Devaney's seasons. Solich was fired because Pederson, along with many boosters and fans (including some of you out there), thought we needed some kind of high-flying aerial circus of an offense to be more exciting. If it's broken, fix it. If it's not broken, leave it alone. Many of you out there got what you asked for , and now have what you deserve. Well said and very true... Many people wanted him gone and were on the Peterson wagon to do it...

People just dont understand how it works..... Look at the 50 other threads about this all tickets are sold at the start of the year... 5 people can show up on saturday and the stadium is STILL sold out..... ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD now can we move on to something else......

Do you understand how the sell out works? All of the tickets were sold before the season begain... except for a hand full that might come back from the other team (not likely considering Husker fans call there Athletic Dept. for tixs) The only way it would stop is if the boosters bailed and the people that are on the waiting list bail (not entirely accurate but good enough for this). Lastly people LOVE this team and program just because we have a bad year (or two) dosent mean we stop going... It sucks to see us lose but the entire event out weighs the sting of a loss in my book....

Umm one huge thing... If we fire BC & co. who will run the show... They all have to go but someone needs to keep the lights on for the next few weeks.....

Enough said.... Said even though we lost he really liked how the fans cheered for the team after the game anyway.... Hmmmm, sounds like the fans arent that bad afterall

"The most troubling thing I heard in the press conference is the players talking about being angry at the fans who scream at them to "take that N off of your helmet" and other derisive things" I sit within 100 feet of the Tunnel and havent heard a single bad word to the players. This might happen while they are on the sidelines but not while going in or out. Also I took my Nephew into the tunnel to clap for the players after A&M (how many of you "true" fans do this?) and again did'nt hear a single bad thing (untill BC came trough thank God he was on his own lots of boo's and f- bombs) I have seen nothing but old school support for the players, in less numbers, but we are still there.

On Sunday night I spent some time in a S. Lincoln Bar (sounds like Vibrations 2, you know what i mean) anyway the bar tender there looked at me with seriousness and asked me why everyone wanted BC fired, thought he was supposed to be a good coach. Dont know if this qualifies as a BC supporter but its close.

Dont forget one of the most important things... This is college ball and there is still a thing called loyality... Levitt made them who they are, he is there Devany.... you could offer me 10 times the money a I still would'nt walk away from his situation.... Money isnt everyting in the college game.

http://www.journalstar.com/blog/huskers.php follow link just a small hint at what is going on..... sounds like he will tneder resignation this week, that he will step down at the end of the year.......

The main thing he will do is calm people down from big money guys (cook) to nobodies (me). People will support him and the program just because he IS T.O. Also I think everyone would agree thagt if he has to find a new HC he will put the good of the program ahead of any personal or popular choice. IMO. Cant help but smile right now though

Channel 6 news crawl has just confirmed T.O. as AD did not say if perm. or interium (sp)

That is what the Crawler on Channel 7 in Omaha is saying. :-) Thanks for the confirmation! 10/11 and channel 6 are both saying Perlman will have it at 3:00. could just be the announcement for 5:15 but would be ready at three anyway

10/11 report at 3:00 FYI

Have looked at this board for quite a while now, really enjoy it. Most of the time any question I have you guys bring up. There is one though. Do any of you think we need to lose this weekend? For that matter should we lose out the rest of the season? If we finish strong BC might be here for another year or so (really depends on who is AD but cant comment on that right now). Or is he done anyway? I think for the future we need to make sure we clean house this year, and is losing the only way to make sure we start fresh next year? I know I'm going to get hell for this but hey it has to be asked. GBR.
