Colfax

Anyone have any information relative to whether he is being developed as a quarterback or safety? Or is that questionis still undecided. Have always been intriqued by his potential. After observing qb play this year just wondering.

Anyone aware of a Nebraska game viewing group in the Redmond/Bend Oregon area????? Todays Game.

It seems so logical. He has started the turn around of a dismal program. His recruiting contacts are established in the east and he has great mentoring. Syracuse would be foolish to not give him a real hard look if not the job.

Turner Gill to Syracuse. What do you think?????

Heard the same. Watching Pelini's post game video he was asked about linebackers and I thought he said they moved a safety into that position and he did a good job. Couldn't catch the name.

My cousin's ex-wife has an Uncle who has a friend from Des Moines that met a guy that lives three doors down from Pelini. The guy told him Pelini had been fitted with a "No Go Bo" shock collar to limit/prevent certain behavior. Did any once else notice Bo wincing a couple times in the first half when captured on screen by the TV cameras? Who might have the control? Bo???? An amazing game time, on camera, personality perception change from past weeks. Have to say he did a dood job keeping himself in check. All involved in this quick transition through whatever means, whether family members or wise counsel, should be commended but especially Bo.

We're not about moral victories," Pelini said. "Nebraska never will be as long as I'm head coach. If we start being about moral victories, you need to get a new coach." No question we have found our coach. We just need be patient.

I think Ganz played a great game. It is to bad Callahan made the decision to bring Kellor into the program for a one year effort. Had Ganz been the quarterback the entire last season the win/loss record then would have probably been the same, however, his game pressure decision making this year would probably been greatly enhanced. Regardless, this game and the effort diplayed in many areas might well be remembered as the beginning of the turn around for the program even though a loss.

"Here's a thought: If the Huskers can't run the ball, why not turn Ganz loose and let him chuck it the rest of the season? Give them something they can execute. It may sound crazy. But, like the caddy said, what do you think you look like now? " I cannot believe this man wrote this. This suggestion is stupid and reeks of a "give up attitude" that borders on cowardly. This is not Nebraska football nor what the passion "of and for" Nebraska football is about. This is an experienced sportswriter for the largest newspaper in the state. Unbelieveable, bordering on unforgiveable. An apology to the team, the coaches, and the fans, is in order. WE NEVER SURRENDER OUR DREAMS. WE ARE NEBRASKA.

Curious if my observation of the blocked punt alignment by Nebraska is correct. It seemed the three blockers aligned in the backfield to protect the kicker were arrayed in the middle but closer to the line of scrimmage than is normal on many teams for this protection. This lent itself to Asante being out of position to pick up the speed rusher from the corner. Anyone else notice this or is my memory incorrect???

No official "screwed" this team. Nebraska should never be in the position where an officials call in the fourth quarter decides the outcome of a game. This is in the coaches and players sphere of influence in the prior quarters of the game. For fans to look for an excuse for a loss by castigating the refereeing shows a lack of respect for the game. Nebraska got beat by very inconsistent play on the teams part across the board offensively, defensively, special teams and coahing. Experence in all phases of the game will show results. Let's not fall into the trap of "blaming oficials." Let's remember the likelyhood exists the same begining of his game in the past 4 years probably would have resulted in a blow out with Nebraska embarrassed. In my mind this "loss" was a "victory" for the future.

"I remember when I came here, I didn't come here because of what I thought Nebraska could do for me in the future. What I thought was, 'Wow, I'm going to play for Nebraska.' That's the mentality you look for in kids when you go out recruiting: Nebraska is the ultimate prize." "END OF DISCUSSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I think every future recruit needs understand that concept or go elsewhere with best wishes.

Recognizing Boyd Eppley's contribution to the modern game and exploiting that contribution is the single most important event in the past 50 years in college football, second only to the forward pass.. Bear Bryant is a distance fourth to the three mentioned with Switzer far behind Wilkinson. Comments????????

I think the time has come for all of us to stop this insane belief in the star system used by Rivals and other high school reporting services. A D1 caliber athlete is a D1 caliber athlete no stars needed. A D1 caliber ranked athlete in high school might be athletically peaked or academically weak. They might have, for what ever the reason, no upside. Stars are not indicative to success. Remember football is a true team sport. It is not like basketball where one player is going to make a great difference. Larry Bird and his college team come to mind here. The rating system is a mechanism for these reporting systems to "huckster" those of you willing to "pay the price" for there reported inside information. Film study and contact information is the standard for true measurement. Give me an average D1 skilled player with passion and heart any day versus a prima-donna high school player with D1 athletic skills but non coach friendly at the high school or D1 level. D1 players coaching friendly and skilled at fundamentals win D1 games as opposed to athletic, non coaching friendly D1 players lacking in fundamentals. Coaching is far more significant than the average fan understands. The "coach friendly" and "heart and passion" for the game of a D1 quality player is far more significant than his "relative" star rating. Relative to coaching and its significance, a great example is the difference in defensive coaching skills of Pellini and Cosgrove. Give them each the same 15 players in a game i.e. an extra lineman, linebacker, corner, and safety in a 4/3 set which coached team would make the better defensive showing? If you don't know the answer to that question find another sport and team to follow.

The last couple topics on another site relate to a plane leaving Lincoln and going to Baton Rouge picking up Pelini and on to Atlanta and also the contacting of the U of Buffalo Athletic Director relative to Nebraska asking to be able to talk with Turner Gill. This is over the top in my opinion. Leave Osborne alone and let him work through the interview process in peace. Trust the man to do the job without the glare of the microscope. I doubt if any other University in the country has ever had someone with the football background Nebraska has working through the interview process. The media is out of control with their meddling and should leave him alone until such time he is ready to announce his decision. Then is the time for all of us to rally around that decision giving it our full support with the realization much experience and thought has been put into that decision. Trust the man and leave him to his job without meddling, especially the media.
