Where did you hear about this? That's what I'd like to know. The story is almost legendary. Almost every conversation that I get into with any husker fan, a urine bomb incident is brought up. I've heard lots of stories about Colorado shenanigans, and this isn't one of them. The car damage, the snow balls with batteries - these are the things I hear about. Cups full of urine... not so much.

There's nothing better than an OSO burrito.

That's too bad. Had you failed soft we could have fixed it with Viagra.

Sorry. Just joshin' with you. The overall point you made is well received, though.

What is that, milliseconds? Let's not be dissing Flash, now.

One would think a medical professional would know it's HIPAA, not "HIPPA." It stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Aside from that I agree that it's likely not illegal for this discussion. It may not be the most moral thing to do, but then again, if Burkes himself came out with the info it is no longer protected in any way by HIPAA.

Let me know when you move out of mom's house and you can talk.

Not odd at all. This happens just about everywhere when a new coach takes over. If anything is odd, it's that there have been fewer changes since Pelini took over than is the norm. We lost a bunch of kids when Callahan took over for Solich, if you recall.

In my heart there is a dark little creature that laughed evilly when I read that. Nine days until Fall drills begin. 37 days until opening kickoff.

Good breakdown. Thanks. And good luck with your recruiting.

You may want to try actually reading what I'm saying, then. I have never said we don't have problems, and I have never said we don't have fans who do stupid things. I have said, several times, that I believe the urine bombs and the "Sal is Dead" and the death threat to Cosgrove and the other boorish behavior from our fans happened. The difference is, I'm not willing to throw you and me and every other Husker fan under the bus because of the actions of a tiny fraction of our fan base. Hence the state pen analogy. You're welcome to believe that the Internet is different from the real world. You're welcome to believe that things said here don't affect you out there. But then you're welcome to believe in the tooth fairy, too.

Speed on a track is very different than football speed - in-game speed on the field. It doesn't matter all that much to me what he ran during conditioning. Can he run around, over, through or away from the defenders? That's all I care about.

OJ wasn't convicted of Nicole's murder, junior. He got off, and do you remember why? I'll give you a hint - it has to do with allegations... and lack of evidence.... ring any bells? Could you have picked a less apt analogy for your point? I doubt it. But thanks for the laugh once again. And how telling that you associate OJ with Husker fans. We all get that you look down on Husker fans by now, junior. You're not breaking new ground here. I'm curious. Why do you associate yourself with a team like Nebraska when you so clearly don't get what they're about, and what they strive to be?

With all the variables of guys coming out vs. team need, this is probably a pretty safe bet.

Congrats on the boys, BRI. Hope everything is going well for you.

Again tilting at windmills. Nobody ever said we have no bad fans. We all know all about the idiots who wear red. The difference is, you choose to flagellate yourself over the behavior of people whose actions you find abhorrent. I, and pretty much everyone else, choose not to do that. It's as simple as that.

If we lose do we have to disband the football team or something?

What about the five other teams in the North whose fans don't travel like Husker fans? There's still a competitive disadvantage for them, right? Personally, if you can't get your fan base to travel to the Conference Championship game to see your team earn a BCS Bowl berth, too bad for your team. Although I think that Kansas, Missouri, Kansas State, and Colorado would travel well if they have a good enough season. It's called a bandwagon. They never have before.

Is that rule no longer in effect? Because on that play, Thunder Collins was still moving when the ball was snapped, right? Same deal with Zac Taylor's walk-off-the-field fake against CU in '06....what happened with this rule, how come it got (apparently?) reversed? You should not take ESPN's blurb about this as the actual definition/use of the rule. I would look up the actual rule if I were you. Clearly this simple definition provided by ESPN is not the way motion functions in the game today.

So if I were a guy and had these strong opinions, based on solid reasoning, facts and I were to articulate my opinions that would be welcome. However, since I'm a woman and I have strong, fact based, well-thought out articulated opinions I'm nothing more than a bitch...right? I would hope you don't think this is true. Aside from the "we don't know if you're a guy or girl" comment (which I agree with), I would hope you're not feeling like you're being taken less seriously because you're a girl. Pretty much everyone here gets questioned once in a while, if not more often, and I would figure you'd have seen that. I don't care if you're a guy or a girl. Just keep the comments coming. You're a good read.

Icy cold wind, frozen fields, knocking the ice off your facemask between games - this is what football is about. This is why they don't play football in the summertime - it's a cold weather sport. Pansies.
