I cannot fathom why Houston Nutt would leave Mississippi for Kansas. That would make zero sense.

I'll take that.

Yep, which is why nobody is taking Arizona lightly.

We all get that. We've all read the same quotes as you from back when the Big XII was formed. Everyone you're posting to has access to the Internet, just like you.

I would love to see McCoy sitting next to Suh at the ceremony. The irony would be awesome.

Saunders and Spielman didn't include Suh on their ballot. They should lose their jobs over that. I'm not joking. Their job is to know football. If they don't even include Suh on their ballots, they do not know football. Period. Agreed.

Gene Menez from CNN/SI did, too: LINK

Stop it.

The Spread on KLIN in Lincoln got canceled. I've heard nothing about USC going away. EDIT - I'm a bonehead and read the wrong thing....

If it's this close between Gerhart and Suh, I say we put them on the five yard line, give Gerhart the ball and tell him if he can score three times in five tries against Suh, we'll give him the trophy.

Yes he was. Repeatedly.

Agreed. This is dumb.

If their QB is a pocket passer he'll be in for a long game. I don't know much about Arizona. I don't think I've watched a single game of theirs this year. Anyone have any insight?

Any word on what that caller may or may not have said?

Because a lot of people watch football. Not all that many understand football.

I've heard of a few voters saying stuff like this over the weekend. One wonders - how qualified can they be to vote for the Heisman when they don't even watch the real potential candidates play? Absurd.

Yeah, sorry about those folks. We can't control all the asshats out there. Please don't let the few trolls skew your view of Husker fans. The majority of us are pretty cool, but there are those unfortunates in every fan base. Nothing we can do about it.

OK, thanks. I didn't know if that was true, but I remember hearing it somewhere.

No problem. There are a lot of us Husker fans who are upset about the griping, too. We've been self-policing the people here, but we can't contain all the asshattery out there.

If you thought our D was good this year, wait until you see the product we put on the field next year.

There are some differences in the two situations. First, there were three seconds on the clock when Bell caught that pass and went down, yet they only put one second back on the clock. Second, replay is not allowed to make a ruling here. It's only allowed to correct "an egregious error" in clock management. Considering that one, two or three seconds drifted off the clock on every single pass play throughout the game, ticking off that one second, as it had been done all game long, probably isn't egregious. Having said that, bottom line is, we lost that game because our offense is inept. It wasn't the refs and it wasn't that one second. We could have put this game out of Texas' reach at any time by scoring a TD, by being able to move the ball, by being even remotely competent on offense. That's the bottom line, and that's what the majority of us feel. The 00:01 is a talking point. It's not the reason we lost, and most rational fans know that. Please don't judge us by the vocal, irrational minority.

My understanding, with nothing to quote here, is that Tebow doesn't get a vote because he's still playing. I saw that Bradford voted for McCoy, so maybe that's not true. Anyone got a quote or a link to the voting rules?

My goodness - who is taking Arizona lightly? We just eked out 106 yards of offense on national television! We can't take anyone lightly, as a team or a fan base. I would imagine everyone in Nebraska is expecting a four-quarter slugfest, much like the CCG we just played.

Please note that it's a tiny minority of fans who are going off on this, and that the majority of us, while unhappy about the rule interpretation, feel that the VAST majority of blame for this loss rests squarely on the shoulders of our offense.

And this is the part where I ask you to kindly show me where I've "cried" about the refs. At this point, the person making the biggest ass of themselves here is you. You're demanding politeness out of a fan base who just lost a close, hard-fought game on a controversial call, where the referees had to liberally interpret a rule to allow a review. There isn't a fan base in this country, on this planet, in any sport, that wouldn't take issue with that. But you expect Nebraska fans to sit idly by and ignore those circumstances? I get that you have a really good view of this situation, sitting there in your glass house. But these stones you're throwing... not wise. I have a feeling that this is the kind of situation that you will either regret in a week or that will burn bridges for you here. You've always been a pretty good egg in my book, Fro. This is not your finest hour.
