I just hope he doesn't go pro after the season.

There were probably 20 different things we could have done, or tried. Agonizing over every one of them isn't going to make us feel better. We got beat on a fluke play, on a day when we dominated a good opponent in their house for 95% of the game. It happens. Football isn't fair. It can be cruel and it can be heartbreaking. But you have to have a short memory as a player and a fan, and go back out and play/cheer hard against your next opponent.

I doubt we see Lee much, too. There's no reason to risk him, especially if he's already banged up. And the experience will do Green a world of good.

You heard Lee's hand was off at the wrist, right? That's all you need to know at this point. Well, that and the fact that they're putting a bionic hand in place on Wednesday. So you can probably skip these threads until Thursday so you can find out how the new appendage is healing. And remember - don't flame the rumor providers. We're providing a service.

You're probably right. We should probably just take every rumor at face value from now on. That seems like a prudent way to go.

Bo and I have different definitions of the word "fine."

Let's put it this way. Right here is a line. And on this side of it, we're not throwing O'Hanlon under the bus for this. Pick your side. ____________________________________________________________________________

On a fumble, that's the rule. If the player contacts the ground, and that contact causes the fumble, it's not a fumble. But on a catch, the player MUST maintain complete possession until his body stops moving, after impacting the ground. So it doesn't matter, according to this rule, that Holt caught and secured the ball. Once it pops out, it's an incompletion. What's stupid about that is, with that exact same grip Holt could have run for 80 yards. Had he not caught it diving out the back of the end zone, it would have been a completion. If the ground can't cause a fumble while running, it shouldn't cause an incompletion, either. Holt clearly received the ball and tucked it, but that's not good enough for this rule. There are situations where this rule has an application. This shouldn't be one of them.

I nearly threw up, but that may have had more to do with the beer I drank and that pepperoni dip I ate than anything else.

And this is exactly why people got so much grief for giving info this summer. Which rumors do you believe?

Talk from where?

This talk only comes after the blown coverage play. Without that play we're not even thinking of this, or if it's mentioned at all it's considered a wise move. VT running the clock out inside their own 20 would be just fine with everyone.

For less than $12....exquisite. I'll be picking up a couple more bottles tomorrow after work. Working on a FREI BROTHERS Zinfandel right now that was $15 at the 132 & Dodge Hy-Vee. Awesome. The 156th & Maple Hy-Vee is sold out of this stuff. I'll be making a stop here as well tomorrow. Thanks for asking. What whites do you like? I'm currently working through several bottles of Clos du Bois Sauvignon blanc and some Kendall Jackson Pinot Grigio that I picked up at WalMart for $7. I can't figure that price - the Kendall Jackson is usually around $17. But I'm not complaining. I like most whites, really. I'm kind of a wine slut - I'll drink about anything, except sweet stuff, and I don't like Malbec at all.

Nice to see that you clowns can repeat each other. How was your Arnie Cab the other night?

Sadly, I'm not that committed of a fan.

Vince. Really. Look the rule up.

I cut a nine-foot N in my front yard today as I mowed the grass. It's the least I could do.

Agreed.

I love how everyone is fixated on this "no victories against top 20 teams on the road since" thing. We have been more bad than good for about a decade now. That's all you need to know.

The biggest difference between this game and the Missouri game is we won't be playing VA Tech's defense. IF Lee has a similar performance against Missouri, then we'll talk about replacing him. But if he does fine, we'll chalk this up to a pretty good effort by VT putting pressure on our passing game, and call this a learning experience for Lee.

Dude. They're very fair here. Don't push it and you'll be fine. Your contributions to Husker Football discussions are what's important. Don't get into a match over the rules.

We're ranked 25th. Not bad, but again, not really important right now. What's important is where we're ranked heading into and out of the Big XII Championship game. Linky-Dinky-Doo

Just wait until Tyler Gabbert gets here next year. People will be calling for Green to be benched and Gabbert to start at some point. Lee isn't good enough, we need Green. Bo isn't good enough, we need... whoever. Helu isn't good enough, we needed Castille. Watson isn't good enough, we need... whoever. I've seen comments saying all of these in the past 16 hours. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

You'll be singing the staff's praises when we win 10 games this year.

Put Zac Lee on that USC team and he beats OSU, too.
