sad but true. most people at the bar i was watching the game at today found the game today comical. complete and utter comedy.

God bless you, sir. Thanks for your years of dedication. you deserve better.

I e-mailed all 8 this message: Please don't let this disgrace continue on your watch. This one proud football program is in shambles and is on the brink of fan mutiny. I know you'll use your best judgment and do the right thing, but in my opinion the right thing involves a little house cleaning and a change in direction. Thanks for your time.

"It was a tough game, I'm very proud of how the team performed in the secong half. We need to go back to the tape and learn from this game and get better." JFC!

yay!

True...but he just comes across as a total tool for the man.And it's so completely contrived and premeditated. His heart is in the right place, but he's painful to listen to.

agree. as much heat has he's taken...he deserved props for a good game. He still did no dominate like I think he should, but it was a good game none the less.

"rubber gloves" Surgeon? What a complete douche!

What do we have to do to get rid of Jim Rose? The guy in un-listen-to-able ( I know that's not an actual word, but it's appropriate here). We deserve so much better. I used to love turning down the TV volume and listening to the home broadcast. I stopped doing that last year. Yes...Brent Musburger is more tolerable than Jim Rose. This is the first time that I was forced to listen to this clown, since I wasn't able to go to the game ans it wasn't televised. I got to tell you, I had to force myself to keep listening. My issues with this clown are twofold. 1. He calls the play-by-play as if you are sitting in the stadium or watching the game with him. I can put up with all him annoying "colorful" metaphors, so long as I get down and distance, the yardline, the time, summary of the personnel package and occasionally the score. I think he assumes we can all just look us at husker vision and see these things...so it's not that important to include them in his commenatary. 2. I can't stand how he has to get in his pre-scripted new way of calling a play or describing the situation is a new flowery way before he actually tells the results of the play. An example: Rose: "Myers drops back to pass. He throws an arial to the east hash mark...OH....AND THE PASS IS...ALMOST INTERCEPTED BY A SLASHING BO RUUD. That was so close to a turnover on this beautiful Saturday afternoon at Memorial stadium....but the pass is incomplete to Todd Blythe." All I want is for him to tell me the pass is incomplete. The other information is fine...but the incomplete pass is the important portion of the call. Give me that first! Am I completely off base here? Maybe I've just decided I can't stand his game calling so it just continues to drive me nuts...but it has to drive others crazy too. Thoughts?

And I quote: "I pick the guy from Norman, OK as the player of the game. Zac Taylor....he drinks coffee with a spoon in it, that's how regular of a guy he is..." What a freakin' idiot. Does he think these cheezy and hard to translate metaphores and hyperbole make his sound smart and his broadcast more entertaining? It is beyond annoying. How do we get a pertition or something going to replace that dolt? Cheezus Kreist!

He is completely and utterly horrible. I'll chose to not listen to the game at all rather than listen to that bumpkin with his annoyingly "rosy" enthusiasm. I would rather listen to Brent Musburger....and I would have thought I'd never speak those words.

final word. I win.

how about if you post your top 3 favs! I'd like to try out your favorites.

I don't see a thread on this, but does anyone know if NU hosted any recruits this weekend for the opening game? if so, any indications on impressions. I'd think it would have to be very positive....a recruit may see we are on the right track, but still need help.

kick-off coverage looked pourous. they go to straighten that out before as team with more talant back there exploits us.

he probably changed his name and is posting under his new name as a huge fan....fair weather fans are

anyone hear anything?

Par for the course these days. Ticketmaster is really the greedy bastards....my $162.50 tickets had a a nice $13.50/ticket "convenience charge". Either way....it was well worth the $. I'd pay it 100 times out of 100.

Last night at the rolling Stones concert in Omaha, Mick Jagger was recalling that the last time they were in Omaha was 1966. THe he was pondering all the things that have transpired in the last 40 years...wars, presidents, etc. Then he actually mentioned "The Cornhuskers have restored the order" pretty good stuff, wonder who put him up to it...

Omaha.com : NU snags Buffs' coordinator

thats an oldie but a goodie. Tom Arnold does one of the funniest renditions of this song I've seen in "The Stupids"....granted, it's the only funny scene in the movie.....

How does he stay employed. I've never met anyone that enjoys listening to him. He and Jim Rose need to get a cabin in the mountains together, and never broadcast again.

In NU tradition, I'll applaud the oposition as you leave the field.

absolutely outstanding!

To boost gameday revenue, NU marching band seats have been sold to season ticket holders, and "alternate seating arrangements" have been established for the band.
