Cy the Cyclone

I like Wyoming just for the tradition Others I would like to see... Alabama - Bryant/Osborne Legacy Game Iowa - Just want to see them pounded into the ground on an annual basis, Preferably the week before ISU plays them. TCU - If we have to play any Texas teams we may as well play them all...

Passing comes alphabetically before Running in Callahan's 8000 page playbook. Since Callahan had only 4 years to institute his system instead of the 8 he had forseen, he was only able to get the team through the first 4000 pages of offense and hadn't reached the running plays yet...thus the emphasis was on the pass (and a few running plays recalled from the Solich era) Unfortunately, the defensive playbook was a whole seperate volume which was misplaced before the year began (Cos claimed that his dog ate it...Callahan was NOT amused, knowing Coz was a "cat person" and didn't even own a dog) so the defensive squad, though well-versed in offensive dogma (such as avoiding contact), never did learn how to properly play defense in the Big 10.

I never seen someone so discouraged over a t-shirt. That's because you've never seen his wife in a t-shirt...

1. Western Michigan 28, Iowa 19; Nov. 17 I would have to say this wasn't the worst loss of the year...it was the BEST loss of the year. I laughed my ass off all the next week! I was really tired of listening to idiot Hawkeye fans (being an idiot is a prerequisite for becoming a Hawkeye fan by the way) saying stuff like "Man...the Huskers suck!" and "Hey Husker Fan, what bowl game are you going to this year?" Now, all I have to do is say..."Uh...Western Michigan?" and they all shut up instantly. Iowa fans are the lowest form of pond scum on the face of the earth...not to mention the most ignorant. They're probably celebrating over in Iowa City right now because their football team is ranked #1 in the country for something...no matter what it was.

I'm pretty sure that the Cornhuskers will be an improved team in 2008 but they will NOT beat ISU and here's why: First of all...ISU is in Ames. Ames starts with A and our coach at ISU is Gene Chizek, the only HC in the Big 12 with a Z in his name. This should tell everyone that the Cyclones will have the Huskers covered from A to Z. Second...the Huskers will be coming to Ames...a...on a Bus...b. A comes before B. Not only that but the Bus will follow the route of I-80 east to I-35 north. Both routes start with I, the first letter of ISU. Third...when you count the letters in I (9th letter in the alphabet), S (19th) and U (21st), you come up with a total of 49. When you add the 4+9 you get the number 13! Bad luck for Nebraska! In addition…if you do the same thing for the letters in Iowa, you come up with 48...but you have to add an A in there (to designate Ames, as opposed to Iowa City, home of those Hawkeye thugs) so then you get the 48 + the 1 (for the A) and come up with 49 again! Add those two numbers (4+9) and you once again come up with 13!! Double bad luck for the Cornhuskers! Now..for the really convincing evidence. Nebraska Cornhuskers contains every available vowel except one...the "I" which just happens to be the first letter of ISU. Iowa State Cyclones, meanwhile contains every available vowel except "U". This means we will be kicking "U" out of the Huskers so we can complete our rise to our predetermined Big 12 destiny! And THAT my friends, is as solid of a scientific explanation as you are going to ever get this side of Al Gore and global warming.

Not the Harry you have in your avatar though...he looks like a pilgrim. The Harry I remember had straw colored hair, carried a pitchfork and wore an expression of pure nastiness on his face...like he was going to enjoy ripping a hapless Jayhawk limb from limb...

I say when Mangino comes across the field to shake hands with him after next year's mauling at the hands of Nebraska, he'll trip over his headphone cord, fall on Pelini and that will be that....half a season, tops.

Didn't Herbie Husker used to be known as Harry Husker? I seem to remember every Saturday that the OWH would have Harry Husker on the front page predicting the terrible mauling that that week's opponent was going to get...Stuff like "Harry says the Cornhuskers will maul the Tigers 945 - 3". Harry Husker was a bad ass dude!

When I was a kid, our coach made us run laps and eat a cigarette after every one if he caught us smoking. I think Bo just makes them eat cigarettes for fun.

HA HA! That's absolutely hilarious!!! That's so funny, I... That's not a bit funny Mister

Top 10 Facts About Bo: Bo Pelini does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Bo Pelini. Fact: Bo Pelini doesn't consider it sex if the woman survives. Bo Pelini can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves. Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Bo Pelini pajamas. Bo Pelini has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there. When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Bo Pelini. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Bo Pelini allows to live. Bo Pelini never wet his bed as a child. The bed wet itself out of fear. Bo Pelini can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night. Bo Pelini doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

10-2???? You need to smoke another BO-wl!

"Hi...I'm Bill Callahan, Head Coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers". Gawd! I hated it every time he said that

I'll trade a high res image for one Danny Noonan autograph...that's my final offer!

very clever as well anyone copyrighting these ideas? You know someone will capitalize on these.. I wanted to use Bo's head in place of the bowling ball but ran out of time...

I'm thinking 9 wins maximum but there are a couple of toss-ups in there. San Jose, NM State, W Michigan, Texas Tech, ISU, Baylor, Kansas, KSU and CU I'm putting the TT and Kansas games in as toss-ups as you can never tell what might happen against Tech and, though I'm thinking Kansas is a one season fluke (as opposed to Mizzou who looks like they might be tough for a few years regardless of having Pinkel as a coach), I may be wrong about that one. Of course, there's always that chance for an ISU upset....

He'll run the offense Tom Osborne TELLS him to run...

NOPE! nice try, if i was you i'd have gone with generic answer #3 also, but if there is one thing this team has done exceptionally well, its "have an outstanding turn over-ratio." 3 fumbles all year long... none of which were "in lsu territory" and only 2 int's that directly resulted in scores. LSU is over-rated anyway. How they managed to back into the BCS Championship instead of a superior Oklahoma team is beyond me. Everyone knows that Big 12 football is superior to the SEC...everyone but the BCS Selection Committee that is...

Cotton is a pretty good OC. He took a fairly talentless ISU offense and made it mildly amusing for 4 or 5 years. He does know how to utilize the talents of and get the most out of a QB. Look at what he did with Bret Myer. I didn't realize he was only the 3rd person in Big 12 history to amass 10,000 yards total offense until late this season. Considering he played all four years with ISU, I found that to be a major surprise. Cotton spent last season puttering around at Drake where he also put together a decent offense considering he was working with all non-scholarship players. Cotton ain't a bad choice for OC.

This poster is TylerDurden our lone ISU fan on the board. I know this because he PMed me a nasty message earlier and he forgot which SN he was logged on as. Beg to differ here...I'm an ISU fan on the board. I got a Collie puppy last spring and named it Husker...it got ran over by a bus this fall. I would recommend that you call your new puppy the same thing I'm calling mine...Dog.

Attention Husker Fans: If anyone could put us in contact with your Defensive Coordinator we would appreciate it. We have a similar opening on our newly forming coaching staff and his apparent talent for creating and maintaining pourous defensive squads would fit in perfectly with the high-scoring, no defense philosophy of Arena Football II. Please contact us at our offices if you can help Stu Pidass Director of AF(2) Operations

I think you picked the wrong guy for your analogy there-- the Joe Montanas are exactly the kinds of QBs we'll have to try to find because the other schools won't be looking for them. Just remember that for every Joe Montana out there, there are 10 Dave Kreigs or Ken Andersons who end up laboring away at some little college like Milton or Augustana. If we can continue to find those guys...the one's that get passed over by the "BIG QB/NFL COMBINE" schools just because they aren't playing in the football recruiting hotbeds of the US, I'll be more than satisfied.
