BLACKSHIRTS are BoACK

on Thursdays during Unsportsmanlike Conduct on 1620 the zone with Kevin and Mike. I'll miss that fake Bill talking to Kevin and Mike.....those were always hilarious and boy did he sound like Bill too.

I must not be that popular. Nobody responded to me when i said it.

Don't worry about it; some of us feel the same way

WOW!!! I miss those kick ass blackshirts. Hope that intensity comes alive with a new coaching staff!

I decided to write this little blurb in response to several people who post things like:

 

"I don't think Pelini is the best choice."

 

"I don't think Gill is ready."

 

"The LSU fans don't want Pelini, should we?"

 

"They may be good at X and Y, but what about recruiting? Can they handle a D-1 team?"

 

Etc., etc., etc....

 

Bottom line is this. There is no coach who we can be guaranteed will be a success at Nebraska. There is no way to predict it, there is no way to be certain. How are any of you certain––or even knowledgable enough to assume––that Bo Pelini or Turner Gill are not ready to be the head coach at Nebraska? I realize that some arguments can be made, but at best what you're typically doing is pointing out uncertainties, which are not, unfortunately for you, quite the same as arguments against them. Bo has no head coaching experience. Reversing your logic I can then say that Bill Callahan is a better choice than Bo Pelini because he has that. If you want to move the argument into who is best for Nebraska specifically, you've wandered into dark, murky waters. It depends what you mean by "best."

 

Which coach can any of you point to and authoritatively prove will win games? Is there a single one?

 

What I'm saying is this. We won't know until we find out. The best thing we can do is trust Tom Osborne to make the best decision he can. No matter what candidate you select for scrutiny, there will always be some facet of their career that one can point to and say, "Aha! He'd be a terrible coach because his defense gave up forty points in 1984!"

 

I would personally be optimistic with either Bo or Turner. I'd be doing jumping jacks if we got both. As I see it our team needs are as follows.

 

1) A coach with experiences or at the very least a deep regard for our traditions, including blackshirts, walk-ons, physical football, and winning.

 

2) A strong motivator.

 

3) A teacher of fundamentals who can also scheme with the best of them, and get athletes to play tough, physical football.

 

There are others you can point to, but as I see it these are at least near the very top, if not the most vital. According to the way I see our needs, both Bo Pelini and Turner Gill would be reasonable choices, and I'd have little reason to doubt their ability to succeed. There may be others, but all this talk about who and who isn't ready is ignorant, uninformed, and ultimately speculative drivel. Their records speak for themselves.

Nice post and ITA!!!

OMG typical Mushburger comment

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I think I'm gonna start rooting for Mizzou solely because of Tuff Tiger. I sincerely want to read anything and everything this guy would write after the Tigers took home a NC... good lord, I wouldn't need to get any new bathroom reading material for the rest of my life!

 

Keep on rockin, you crazy bastard

 

 

I'll tra ta xranslat whut u jes sad fore him:

 

Mebbe ah's alone in this, but ah reckon ah's gonna start rootin' fo' Mizzou solely on account o' of Tuff Tiger. ah sinsyarly be hankerin' t'read ennythin' an' ev'rythin' this hyar guy'd write af'er th' Tigers took home a NC... fine lo'd, ah w'dn't need t'git enny noo bathroom readin' material fo' th' ress of mah life!

 

Keep on rockin, yo' crazy bastard Yahoo

 

 

Don't you know the #1 and #2 spots in the BCS are cursed until the bowl games?? Don't get too cocky yet. Oklahoma is a much better team than Kansas is and of course you already know that. Did you see that beat down Oklahoma put on Ok State? Plus Sam Bradford looked good in the game. If anything has taught us this season is that being ranked #1 or #2 is not a sure thing. Especially if you get that #2 spot better start praying. lol.

Don't yo' knows th' #1 an' #2 spots in th' BCS is cursed until th' bowl games?? Don't git too cocky yet. Oklahoma is a much better team than Kansas is an' of course yo' already knows thet. Ju see thet beat down Oklahoma put on Ok State? Plus Zephaniah Bradfo'd looked fine in th' game. Eff'n ennythin' has taught us this hyar season is thet bein' ranked #1 o' #2 is not a sho'nuff thin'. Especially eff'n yo' git thet #2 spot better start prayin'. lol, ah reckon.

 

 

 

That would have taken me an hour to figure how to put in all the typo's....

 

GBR!!!

You do incredible work huskerguy!!!

If Tom Osborne does not fire Callahan and ALL of the losers on the coaching staff tomorow, then i'll lose all faith in his judgement and credibility. This disgusting abomination of a "game" in Kansas is the last straw. I think Callahan is purposely embarrasing the program because he knows he's history. He needs to be GONE now, otherwise nobody in their right mind would ever want to play at Nebraska ever. They'll probably lose most of their recruits the way it is. Calllahan needs to be fired, pay him whetever he wants, and start from square 1. I don't care if the university has to pay a new coach 10 million bucks a year, it would be worth every dime to get rid of the bum...

 

We've heard ALL of this ranting every time we lose. There's only 3 weeks until the CU game is over THEN we will have our decision. Like I said in another post, we don't need a rash decision-we had that when Solich was fired. We need a firm decision with a coaching staff waiting in the wings to be hired. I'm sure all of those decisions are being made as we speak.

The best thing we can do right now is wait with some class. Otherwise we're going to be perceived (already are by many other teams in the nation) as a bunch of whiney spoiled cry babies.

ITA. The season is already over. We know BC and Co are on the way out. We have to wait until TO takes care of business with respect!

Would you make me one with the any players and TO in the middle...

Saying "Restoring Tradition"

Thanks in advance!!!

Congrats Tom!!!

I like T.O, but what makes you think he won't give Callahan as much time as we gave him in the 70's...people didnt even want him as our coach when he was hired they wanted kiffen..people were mad at him going 9-3...tho 4-4 is bad right now....so....he will give callahan more of a chance...and it will be until we are last in the big 12 before he knows what he should do

 

Mods:

Is there a way we can have posters take a Nebraska Football history test before they are allowed to post?

LMAO

Thanks IBR for the update

Send me the PM too. Thanks

I am a newbe here. I decided to join and start posting here just because of IBR. Thanks for sharing info and I am looking forward to more. I have never doubted you for one minute.

Exactly why I joined. Don't let the doubters get to you IBR...many of us look forward to your news.

Could someone make me a signature showing the players in a huddle with the saying:

I'm the winner....till the next Cornhusker fan posts...

That would be me...

Thanks for sharing the info. The only reason I joined was because IBR's source has been dead on and I want in on the discussions.

Maybe it will be a montage of Pederson's greatest quotes.

LMAO, ya think

i gave away 2 tickets but came across 2 more. i cant be there due to obligations so i would love to give not sell but give these 2 away as well

 

the stipulations are you have to take a child with you to the game.

 

it is now 4:46 please call at 5 pm to get the tix

 

i dont know the best way to do this so i will act as a radio station starting at 5 i will give the tix to the 8th caller. they are next to friends so i will know if the person takes a child or not
