And then he came here to do Gameday and Husker fans embarrassed themselves by acting like children after the show was over. But the whole myth that Herb/May/whoever is the new fotm hates Nebraska is ridiculous. Invariably there is always something positive said from that person during the season, and when it's brought up, the myth supporters either suddenly disappear or respond with, "Well, of course they say something positive every once in a while." Give me a f'ing break. Uh, yeah. Of those two groups, Herbstreit and Husker Fans, which one is obligated by professionalism not to display that kind of behavior?

FTFY

And to further poke holes in this nonsense, Miami had pretty much the same team back in 2002, they again had several unimpressive wins, and they were incapable of defending their title. If this is such a great team, where are there other titles? That Husker team won another one in 1994 and damned near had one in 1993, missing by a field goal. As impressive as that roster looks, their resume isn't up to par with the 1995 Husker team's. This debate is absurd. It's not even close.

By the way, Bryant McKinnie couldn't stop that 1995 D Line. They sacked Wuerffel SEVEN TIMES in the MNC game. You think they're going to slow down the Blackshirts? Please.

Maybe they were blinded by Ken Dorsey's halo?

And yet you're willing to ignore the boatload of talent on the 1995 Husker team.

Yadda, yadda, yadda. Andre Johnson isn't going to see the football five times that game because Christian Peter, Jamel Williams and Jared Tomich would have been bashing upside Dorsey's helmet all game long. And Tony Veland would have ripped AJ's head off if he'd have come across the middle. Boom goes the dynamite.

Unless your O Line is like a wall of brick, I have concerns about Smith's immobility. If he can't move agilely to avoid pressure he's going to take some serious hits.

I didn't suddenly lose my eyesight during 2001, home boy. I know very well what that team was made of. They were VERY good, I'm not saying they weren't. But that 95 team was better. I have zero problem saying that. Look who that team played in 2001 - Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, #14 FSU, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, #14 Syracuse, #12 Washington, #14 VA Tech, then a pretender #4 Nebraska team on a tailspin. Despite playing a very weak schedule, they have... zero stellar wins. You're going to hang your hat on what? 38-0 over Temple? 61-0 over Rutgers? The MNC game, where they beat a disaster of a Husker team 37-14? Come on. That 2001 Miami team was full of future NFL players. We're talking COLLEGE football, though, not NFL. When you get down to it, the 95 Husker's resume is far, far better than 2001 Miami. And it's not even close. PS: Tommie Frazier >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ken Dorsey

I ran a "Zac for Heisman" campaign back in the day when Zac Taylor was getting no love. Maybe we should have a "Suh for Heisman" campaign this year. It would be a hoot. Here's the sig I wore on another board back then:

And you'd lose.

I wonder if we'll ever know just how blessed we have been to have been served by Osborne these decades past.

I think that burning N may come back to haunt FAU. If this team gets on a roll and exacts some revenge for that, this could be an unholy massacre.

Patience, grasshopper. All tickets will be sold by game time.

Let us know if any questions zip past him.

Owl, what kind of quick passing game does FAU have installed? Will Rusty be ready to throw off of three steps? Do they have short routes - slants, outs, etc. - ready? I think the D Line will be looking to make a statement this game and set the tone for the season. If they have three/four seconds to get to Rusty while the routes develop downfield, I think we're going to see FAU's backup in before halftime.

Anyone else remember where we were this time last year? Concern about our D Line, and when Coach Carl said they could be a strength of the team there was plenty of dubiousness. Now look at us. The D Line is the foundation upon which the whole team will be built this year. And justifiably so. Bring on the Owls! ! ! ! !

This is a pretty good rundown of what happened in that game. CU Fans seem to want to forget everything that happened up to Henery's kick, pointing solely at the scoreboard and claiming they're as good, if not better, than us. Had Henery's kick sailed wide right and CU ran out the clock for the win last year I would be no less confident that we will win in Boulder this year. We gave them 14 points on boneheaded plays last year. Without Henery's miracle kick we don't win. But without that foolish fake field goal and the boneheaded mistake on coverage, the game isn't even close to that situation.

Or maybe everyone has stepped up. Or nobody has stepped up. Most likely they're just trying to keep everyone sharp and on their toes so there's no coasting in these practices. FAU isn't an attention-getting opponent. They want these guys focused and ready to go.

Careful there. Colorado's roster is as talented as anyone's in the North. Their big problem last year was injuries. If they're healthy, they're able to win some games.

Wow, Eric. You really out-kicked your coverage with that bride of yours. Good to see us homely dudes can still fool the hotties once in a while. You're kind of my hero now. My advice to you: lie your ass off. Only way I could pull tail like this. Appreciate the advice, but it's about 17 years too late. I'm taken, by a pretty special girl.

I was all about Love Boat on Saturday nights when I was a kid. That and Fantasy Island. Mr. Roarke was the shizz. It was cold and boring in Nebraska in the 70s. And we didn't have cable out in the country wastelands north of Fremont.

Never heard of it. Just checked Time Warner in Stinkin' Lincoln and they don't offer it here.

Wasnt there a Love Boat episode where the guy rented a family or something? There's a precedent. I'm just sayin'.
