Apathy

Man, knock off this garbage that TO cannot do any wrong. If he makes a stupid decision, are we supposed to sit back and say, "oh, Tom made it, so it's okay!" I mean, seriously. I love the guy, respect the heck out of him for what he did with our program years ago, but I could careless about all of that right now. Think of it this way, if Stevie P had made this decision, he would likely get fired from something like this. Just because it is TO is the only reason more of a stink isn't being created about it. To me, that's garbage. Just like over 10 years ago when he chose Solich as his replacement, TO has proven he can do some jacked up stuff. This is another example. Well first and foremost Osborne isn't perfect but this is not a stupid idea. Who really cares if he is changing the seating for the Students. If it was me i would make that whole section nothing but Students but that's not my call. He decided to make this change because he felt there was a need of change and that some people had been complaining about this. My dad likes to take his 75 year old father to Nebraska games and he can't stand for the whole game. People who pay hundreds of dollars a year to have season tickets have every right to watch the game. Students are young enough to stand the entry game so it does make sense in a way to make them have seats behind season ticket holders or regular fans who can't stand a whole game. People got to realize that you have to think about others and not just yourself. I love LOVE Nebraska football and when i'm old and disabled i would like to see the entry game and not have to worry about people standing infront of me. I understand that students pay a certain amount of money to attend the University but they don't have to pay cover charge, they have a discount and pay to get an education. You also have to consider that most of the fans attending these games might not live in Lincoln or Omaha. I have to drive 2 1/2 hours to watch a game and i have to find a spot to park and people driving longer than 2 1/2 hours might have to spend some money on a hotel or something. So lets just say somebody is attending a game who are Husker fans from California and they have to rent a hotel room. Thats about 60-70 bucks a night and then another 10-20 bucks for parking and another $54 for a ticket. Their almost spending $200 bucks to attend a game and they can't watch it because people are standing the whole time. These are things that TO could've looked at when making this call. For those of you who don't like it doesn't mean that you still can't support TO in this decision....he has a tough job and he really didn't need to take this job in the first place but he cares about the people in Nebraska not just one group (Students or Ticket Holders) but everybody as a whole.

Why do i have a feeling that this spring game won't be a sellout. I really want this spring game to be a sellout

This is going to be a loooooooooooonnnng off season. Husker fans were so excited about Tom Osborne coming back and now he makes a decision and you guys are going to whine about it. Tom Osborne didn't have to come back to save this football program, Tom Osborne didn't have to fire Bill Callahan, Tom Osborne didn't have to allow former players to attend games again, Tom Osborne didn't have to hire Bo Pelini. If Tom Osborne decided to allow this move I'm sure that he did it with good intensions. Please everyone let Mr. Osborne do his job because HE'S TRYING TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY AND TO RESTORE THIS FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

Hey i found a video on what Callahan was going through when we lost 5 games in a row 56Ue0SOTwpA

That maybe true BUT he did not mean to kick the ball. It came out of his hands and when we was getting tackled the ball bounced off of his foot and our recieve caught it. There is no harm in that. Thanks anyways oooohhhhh ya didn't we win the NC that year. HAHAHAHA

1st Game at Memorial Stadium I don't think that this was my first game because I remember watching Joel Makovicka play but the game that I know for sure that I attended was the 2000 Nebraska vs Iowa game. I remember us just smashing Iowa and before and after the game I like to go down to the tunnel walk and take pictures and to receive some hand shakes. But I remember Kyle VandenBosch coming off of the field with a N on one side of his helmet and a Hawkeye emblem on the other side. I'm going to have to go find that picture and show you guys. Best Moment Would have to be the Iowa State game this year because I took my g/f's Dad to this game. The last time that he was at a game was back in 94' so he was due for one. I tell you what it was like taking a kid to the circus for the first time buy the way he was enjoying the new stadium to the big screen in the North Endzone to the Jets flying over our heads in the South Stadium. I'm also taking him to his first Nebraska Baseball game on April 18th and I can't wait to see his expressions once again. Best Game Again this one is in 2000 against Colorado when Josh Brown Kicked the winning field goal. I watched this game under the South Stadium behind the Endzone where the fence is....you know the fence which is directly under the sits and behind the goal posts and you have the photographers sitting and blocking your view. My sister got my brother and I tickets in the student section and before the game they went to sit in the sits while I took pictures of the players coming out of the tunnel. After that was over I went to the seats and couldn't find them..hell they weren't even at their right seats. So the whole game I watch from behind that fence but I got to see Carlos Polk come off the field...I got to tap him on his shoulder pads when he got injuried. But it was cool when it got to the wire and everybody was lining up at the tunnel walk to shake the players hands and all we could do was pass information down to one another like a chain reaction on what the play by play was. I remember a girl yelling out "We're in field goal range" and then everybody started cheering and it gave me goosebumps. So anyways when Josh Brown went to kick the field goal you could literally hear a pin drop as everybody was quite. When Josh made that field goal the WHOLE stadium erupted with cheers and I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT PLACE GET SO LOUD BEFORE. It just gives me goosebumps right now thinking about it right now. To top it off I had a football game here in South Sioux City that same day at 10 a.m. for a JV game against Ralston for a make-up game and I had two sacks and an interception in that game and then go to the NU vs CU game right after and experience that game....that was an amazing day.

Ummm my crystal ball said that both Mizzo and Kansas will yet again strugle in Lincoln this year.

Ya we could plant this huge crop of corn outside of the tunnel walk and when our 'New' tunnel walk music that everybody wants to change since they don't like Sirus anymore, they'll open up those doors and our 2008 Cornhuskers will run out that tunnel through these corns stocks and onto the football field to represent "The Children of the Corn" I like to eat corn as much as everybody else here but this is the stupidest Idea that I've heard since the changing of the Tunnel Walk Music thread. I much rather have BLUE TURF field like Boise State has then to put corn in the stadium (Which I can't stand the BLUE TURF, freakin ugly).....kindof cheesy to me.

Ok I did my homework and here is the schedule for all three teams 01' MIAMI Date Team and home field advantage Result 9/1/01 Penn St @ Penn State 33-7 Miami 9/8/01 Rutgers @ Miami 60-0 Miami 9/27/01 Pitt @ Pitt 43-21 Miami 10/6/01 Troy @ Miami 38-7 Miami 10/13/01 #14 FSU @ FSU 49-27 Miami 10/25/01 West Virginia @ Miami 45-3 Miami 11/3/01 Temple @ Miami 38-0 Miami 11/10/01 Boston College @ Boston College 18-7 Miami 11/17/01 #14 Syracuse @ Miami 59-0 Miami 11/24/01 #12 Washington @ Miami 65-7 Miami 12/1/01 #14 Virginia Tech @ Virginia Tech 26-24 Miami 1/3/02 #4 Nebraska @ Rose Bowl 37-14 Miami [/size] Overall I think that Miami had a descent schedule but IMO they only played 4 tough opponents. And every Nebraska fan should all agree that we shouldn't have played in the BCS National Championship. Miami was impressive against an alright Nebraska team but still isn't impressive in my book. 04' USC Date Team and home field advantage Result 8/28/04 Virgina Tech @ VT 24-13 USC 9/11/04 Colorado State @ USC 49-0 USC 9/18/04 BYU @ BYU 42-10 USC 9/25/04 Stanford @ Stanford 31-28 USC 10/9/04 #7 California @ USC 23-17 USC 10/16/04 #19 Arizona State @ USC 45-7 USC 10/23/04 Washington @ USC 38-0 USC 10/30/04 Washinton State @ WSU 42-12 USC 11/6/04 Oregon State @ OSU 28-20 USC 11/13/04 Arizona @ USC 49-9 USC 11/27/04 Notre Dame @ USC 41-10 USC 12/4/04 UCLA @ UCLA 29-24 USC 1/4/05 #3 Oklahoma @ Orange Bowl 55-19 USC Overall this USC wasn't all that impressive because most of their teams that they beat were by close margins. I think that the 05' Trojans were more impressive than the 04' team even though they got beat by a very good Texas team. 95' Nebraska Date Team and Home Field Advantage Result 8/31/95 Oklahoma State @ OSU 64-21 Neb 9/9/95 Michigan State @ Lincoln 50-10 Neb 9/16/95 Arizona State @ Lincoln 77-28 Neb 9/23/95 Pacific @ Lincoln 49-7 Neb 9/30/95 Washington State @ Lincoln 35-21 Neb 10/14/95 Missouri @ Lincoln 57-0 Neb 10/21/95 #8 Kansas State @ Lincoln 49-25 Neb 10/28/95 #7 Colorado @ CU 44-21 Neb 11/4/95 Iowa State @ Lincoln 73-14 Neb 11/11/95 #10 Kansas @ KU 41-3 Neb 11/24/95 Oklahoma @ Lincoln 37-0 Neb 1/2/96 #2 Florida @ Fiesta Bowl 62-24 Neb Overall we had a descent schedule but didn't really play anybody good except for 4 games. To beat Colorado in Colorado 44-21 when they are ranked is pretty damn good since they play pretty good in Boulder. Washington State gave us our run for the money to only beat them by 14. But IMO why our 95' team was the greatest of all time.....cause we crushed the #2 team in the Nation....can you say gator bait.

KIRK HERBSTREIT AND MARK MAY ARE FREAKIN MORONS ENOUGH SAID If you guys watch the video and at 3:14-3:18 Lou Holtz has that look of an old beagle. And both Kirk and Mark will never ever root or pick Nebraska to win any game.

Dawhusker I would agree with you a 110%. I watched the film on this guy and he's a freak. He'll run though guys to tackle the ball carrier. This guy is insane. He's fast, quick, and explosive. Mason Wald will be the next Mike Minter or Mike Brown. This guy is being under estimated as a two star. Here's a link Mason Wald To the right of his picture you'll notice a Highlight Video so click on that. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

I thought Vanden Bosch had a great career at Nebraska. I don't think that he's one of the greatest Defensive Ends to come out of Nebraska but he's pretty close.

I'll just sum it up like this 46-18-2 ENOUGH SAID!!!!!!!

For those of you who are talking crap about Crouch.......could you really see Newcombe winning the Heisman Trophy.....ummmm NO. You can down grade Crouch all you want but the guy did put up some sick numbers as a QB. So please give the guy a break. Crouch is probably one of our best QB's of all time and he's a really nice person in person.

I agree with you 110%. If you look at my list of possible true freshman playing right away are linebackers and DB besides Baker. Alot of people are forgetting that we lost 4 LB's and 2-3 DB's. It's open game for anybody and Bo is going to push everybody to earn their starting spot.

I'll be going to the Baseball game the Night (Nebraska vs Kansas) before and then the spring game the very next day. I can't wait to eat some deer brats and drink some cold ones while tailgating both days .

I would have to say Will Compton and yesterday on 1620 Unsportsmanlike Conduct they had Marv Sanders on and he was talking about Whitmore alot....and he couldn't wait to see what this guy could do. My list of early playing time for 08 recruits IMO: Baker Steinkuhler P.J. Smith David Whitmore Mason Wald Will Compton And maybe Sean Fisher

Yeah, he had a good season in 96 for a frosh, but he also quit on the team. He never delivered on his hype. Some hoser said Lucky earlier. Lucky has produced far more than Evans ever did. I heard that Joel Makovicka kicked D'Angelo's ass in practice or in the locker room........I can't remember where I heard this from.

Yeah, I agree Pujols, I mean, they did lose to MU 36-28 on a neutral field. I mean KU only scored 76 on Nebraska, beat CU in Boulder, beat A&M in College Station, beat OSU in Stillwater, beat #3 ranked Virginia Tech (Which was a 6 point favorite). I don't understand the love feast with KU either. I just love it when somebodies team gets a winning record for the first time in years and they think that they're the s**t. This reminds me of Iowa fans when Iowa started to do great like 3-4 years ago. Everywhere you look there is Iowa crap because now they have a winning record. Come on give me a break. Yes I was happy that Kansas had a great year and too be honest I was rooting for Kansas in the Mizzo vs Kansas game. But to predict Kansas to beat Nebraska in Lincoln is one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time. If Nebraska can score 39 points at Kansas, I think that we could almost double that in Lincoln this year. Kansas hasn't beatin Nebraska in Lincoln since 1968. Nebraska will beat Kansas and Mizzo in Lincoln this year...............both teams always choke in Lincoln.

According to Rivals......Rogers hasn't signed yet.......please tell me that I'm wrong and that you're right.

Josh Gabbert

God + Cooper x Tom Osborne = N Very Niiiicccceeee!!!!!!!!!

You know Rivals.com own knee pads for a reason!!!!!

I predict that Blaine Gabbert will be another Josh Freeman........he'll go 0-2 against Nebraska going into his junior year This ones for you Blaine

Exactly what we need in a coach....he should have thrown in "I don't want to see any pictures of my players in volleyball uniforms or you will be wearing pink jerseys in practice"....that would have made that little speech the perfect speech to a recruit.... Bo Pelini can just have a long talk with Joe Arpaio the Sheriff from Maricopa County Arizona about the pink boxers uniform
