  1. It's going to take about 48 hours from the time we saw Suh back up there until he overtakes Spiller at this pace. That's respectable.
  2. People are really being stupid about this. Suh has 130 first place votes but is sixth behind four others who have less #1 votes. Case Keenum has 17 first place votes, but is ahead of Suh. That means a LOT of people are leaving him off of their ballot entirely.
  3. Fair enough. It's a dubious point, and really hard to prove. Wait - what? I have total respect for you, BB! You've always been great to talk to. I don't have much love for your team, but you and fro and Cy and Killer Cacti and most of the fans whose teams we've played against are great, fun people. There's the football animosity I have for Colorado between the stripes, but off the field I hope everyone associated with the team is happy and healthy. I would hate for you to think I had anything against you. You're good people.
  4. I keep hearing things that a rivalry must include respect but everytime I cite examples of rivalries that are between schools that rate on just about everyone's Top 10 in college footbal and then I point out how much hate and lack of respect there is between those two schools all I hear is crickets. Because you're being myopic about those rivalries. Sure, Alabama/Auburn has plenty of vitriol. Heck, Nebraska/Oklahoma used to as well. You couldn't drive across a small town in Nebraska in the 80s without seeing the bumper sticker "Better Dead Than Sooner Red," or, "If I owned Hell and Oklahoma, I'd live in Hell and rent out Oklahoma." But at the same time you're going to be able to find folks in Alabama that root for the Tide and have respect (but not love) for Auburn, and vice versa. We had a love/hate relationship with the Sooners back in the day. Today it's mitigated because we miss playing each other so much, but if we played every year for the next ten years, it wouldn't take more than two or three for some angst to show up again. That doesn't mean there's a lack of respect. It means you want to beat that team with all the fiber of your being.
  5. Tebow, Bradford and McCoy were head and shoulders above everyone else, though. This year with a muddled field I would be surprised if five didn't make the trip.
  6. I agree, but I'm sure Clemson fan is stuffing the box with any means they can. Didn't they come up with about 70k votes in a matter of what, 10 days? Just saying... They did, and it's possible they were stuffing, but we came up with 35,000 votes in, what? Two days? Something like that? I would venture a guess that most of Spiller's and Suh's votes are legit. We're a couple of pretty cool fan bases, and we both have a LOT of fans. After the Gator Bowl last year, wouldn't it be fun to see Spiller and Suh sitting next to each other at The Downtown Athletic Club? I'd get a real kick out of that.
  7. I would really like to see Suh overtake Spiller without resorting to cookie deletion and revoting. We have plenty of Husker fans to get it done.
  8. It helps them get up for our rivalry.
  9. Already taken care of. Killer is going to be focused on other things for a while. Don't tell him, but she's actually a secret Husker double agent sent from Lincoln to distract him while Suh overtakes Spiller.
  10. Thanks. I did a text search for "outland" on the front page, but the title of the poll is a .gif, not text, so it didn't pick it up. Suh leads overall with 76% of the vote. He leads every state but Idaho, where he trails Iupati 70/24. Suh is beating Okung in Oklahoma 55/43.
  11. That was more aimed at Cheshire and Captain K. Those kinds of gripes about another poster are what the woodshed is for.
  12. It's all well and good to call me out for my obvious (and true) faults. But I'm a pretty boring subject, and here I'm definitely off-topic. If you want to start a "knapp is a douchebag" thread, the Woodshed is your spot. Have at me there. But here, let's focus on the football team. Ready.... BREAK!
  13. Amen, brother! That guy is a TOOL! You have to wonder why they don't ban the guy. Obvious troll.
  14. If this guy doesn't get an invite to New York it's a travishamockery. I don't expect him to win the Heisman, but if the award wants to retain legitimacy, he has to be in the top five. Has to.
  15. I'm hoping the whole chief/Indian rejoinder wasn't wasted - somewhat clever, yes? It's not my best work, but it was at least slightly amusing. I was doing another fake hurling post but deleted it - you can't go to that well too many times in one thread.
  16. I don't have the energy after a long day to look up who all it was, but most of our O Linemen have been dinged up this year. I would venture a guess that it's a combination of those guys getting hurt at various times, Rex getting hurt, Helu getting hurt and our WRs getting sent back down to the Scout Team that did it.
  17. Spiller's next two opponents average 117 and 145 on the ground, so he's bound to get some pretty good yardage. All I want is to see Suh get a trip to New York. He'll never win the trophy, but it would be nice to see a defensive guy get some cred for once. And the fact that he plays for my team is gravy.
  18. I still get a kick out of that "PLAAAGGHHHH" thing by the OP. He's a pretty funny guy.
