Touchdownbarbie

I see you've never been to a game in Stoolwa-er, Stillwater, Oklahoma. As the Texas team and fans sang the "Eyes of Texas" after our win in Stillwater, they were pelted with botttles. One of our Cheerleaders was hit. Coach Brown said he's never seen anhything ike it before.

Yeah - those people who really know the ins and outs of college football pity us... and that's not a good thing. Take it from an objective observer. There is neither laughter or pity. It's more amazement and shock. It's like a head-on train wreck. Oh... you may find some snide snickering from the young and stupid, but most observers are just shocked. Thanks for your opinion. I live in Indiana and would agree that people have the same reaction. I totally agree!!! It hurts! Thanks, red_38 Texas fan in Austin here. The story has been big news here, but there is no laughing. Texas fans, as a whole, have too much respect for your program. Our radio and internet boards are filled with anger at Callabad and Pederphile. We have a "how dare they?" attitude. We hate the pro coach coming to tell a college team how to change, without having any apparent appreciation of the college traditions. In our view, the real villain in Pederson. He should have kown better. Callahan had been fired, for Christ's sake. Anyway, didn't mean to digress. We hate coaches like Callahan and Scamchione who ruin programs, get big buyouts and move on to the next disaster. We have great pride in playing and beating you of late. That should tell you everything you need to know about our view of you. If this is a feat we are so proud of, that means you have our respect. We understand what Nebraska has created from nothing, and we know you will be back. Long live Nebraska and College Football!!!!!! Huge Texas fan who respects the Nebraska tradition P.S. How is it that Callahan still has a job? GET HIM OUT OF THERE AND SAVE YOUR RECRUITS!

FYI, Reesing is from my town--Austin. (Actually, Lake Travis HS, right outside of Austin, but close to my house) Of course, our great UT recruiting staff didn't pursue him. Right now, the current Lake Travis QB, Garret Gilbert, is a junior and even better! I hope we dont let him get away. And the talk is that the freshman is the best of all! Needless to say, they have some great coaching out there. If I were Osborne, I would fire Callahan and upgrade the Offensive Coordinator for the season. What does he have to lose?

And another thing: What the hell is that "Bob's Big Boy" figure doing on the sideline? That cute little creature isn't exactly conveying a menacing image, or inciting fear into your opponents, lol. Of course, we have a stupid guy in a cow costume. Weirdest of all was when the Bob's Big Boy stood on his head and started spinning. That was surreal, in a DEVO kind of way.

I was surprised they headed for the exits. The team was fighting hard, and those fans gave up on them. I guess I know too much about UT to know we weren't going to put this game away, lol. We were already laughing about how it would come down to an onside kick, and sure enough, we were right. Why travel all the way from Nebraska and then leave during a still-tight game? Our fans are usually the lame ones. We mostly sit on our hands, and you could hear a pin drop in the stadium when you went up big. Our teams showed lots of heart, but your team came to win aqnd played their hearts out. The fans need to support.

I attended the game and ended up sitting in the Nebraska section. I was very impressed with the performance of your team. Your PLAYERS came to play, not so sure about your coaches. We saw a lot of heart from your team. They carried the fight to Texas. They controlled the line of scrimmage for MOST of the game. We eventually were able to take advantage of your blitzes and spring our back, but for the most part, you put big pressure on our QB and protected yours very well. We got very little, if any pressure on your QB. Plus, your backs had big lanes to run through. Worst of all, your QB did a great job of looking off the primary receiver, and then finding him wide open over the middle. That slow, white reciver was wide open over and over, and we kept calling the play in the stands before it happened. What i didn't like was the play calling. Why so conservative? So many lame runs, and very few balls downfield, and it seemed like your coaches were playing not to lose. We are just not that good this year. Our o-line is very inexperienced, and our poor Qb spends most of every game scrambling for his life. Again, the blitzes cost you, as at the end, when Charles got sprung, he found himself in open space and used his speed to separate. Verdict--your players played hard, but the coaches didn't exploit our many weaknesses. We are hopelessly overrated, and were ripe for beating. Heck, BAYLOR was even with us in the fourth quarter last week. Your fans disappointed me--I have heard so much about the amazing Nebraska fans, and the ones I saw and spoke to were very nice. There were many of them here, in the endzone, and a ton in the upper deck. Those poor people in the upper deck sat in the blazing sun throughout the game, and chered mightlity. I liked them. Plus you brought a small band, but they kept up the nose, and the fans for the most part backed them up. When you went up big, a player made some x sign and fans went wild! Why the disappointment? When we went up by ten with four minutes left, a surprisingly large number of Nebraska fans in my section started heading for the exits! Did they not understand that there was still plenty of time left? And sure enough, you made a fine comeback, and the game came down to the wire. Coaches: Our coaches suck, and our bizzre missuse of two point conversion attempts infuriated me. Still, Callahan wastes timoouts, and let the clock run in weird ways. He is very conservative and wasted your many opportunities. Both staffs are clueless. FYI, Texas fans have NOTHING but respect for the Nebraska program. We have no hatred for you, and we want you to return to greatness. All week long, the talk on our radio and in the papers was that Petereson aand Callahan have ruined a fine program. We love the long history of Nebraska recruiting your home state, and we respect how Nebraska boys would do anything for the program. That is something we greatly believe in ourselves, and we have no doubt the right coach will restore this venerable program. While I am glad we have continued our recent mastery over you, I want to wish you the best of luck, and I want you to know how much we respect you and what you represent to college football and our country. God bless and keep the faith. May we have many more years of great games!
