It's obvious you don't care. What isn't obvious is why you feel the need to post about not caring, or it not being important, on a forum that is pretty much built around discussions that are not important when it comes to what really happens.

You seem to care a lot about stuff I care about or don't care about. Why would you care about whether I care or not? I guess I don't care about stuff you care about and I don't care about stuff you care about. That's all I care about I guess. In the meantime I don't care or whatnot.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned, but what color were the helmets last Saturday?

They looked cream as opposed to white. They seem to match the cream shoulder stripes that appeared a few weeks ago, as opposed to the numbering that is still white.

 

Comparing pics from last saturday and previous games, there seems to be a difference, but it could be lighting, angles, and the like.

 

Did I miss the boat? Was there some announcement that they were trading the white for cream...gradually?

Are they doing it covertly? If so why?

Was there a second shooter on the grassy knoll? What's saskwatch's take on all this?

Is this really important? I mean does anybody really care? Although a friend of mine said he could not sleep because of the strange color combo. Maybe we need some answers here !!!

 

Apparently some people care, the thread has quite a few posts at this point. Also, you're questioning whether something is important on a fan-based internet discussion board where every single discussion is academic and has nothing to do with what will actually happen...?

OK OK I really care that the sleeves or pants or helmets are almost yellow or whatnot...

Does anyone remember a time when the winner of the NU-OU game wasn't ranked in the Top 25?

 

Or when there was a lone representative from the old Big 8 in the Top 25 and they only ranked 17?

I am positive it happened only 1 time back in 1898. I would bet on it ...

Stadium conflict results in man hauled to Detox

 

A dispute over whether or not it is acceptable to stand up during the football game resulted in University Police arresting a man for third-degree assault on Saturday.

 

Carl Oestmann, director of patrol operations for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department, said Alan Sharp, a 28-year-old man from Omaha, allegedly punched someone who was sitting behind him after the person told Sharp to sit down.

 

Sharp was ejected and taken to Detox where he registered a .257 BAC. In all, UNL police ejected or denied admission to 56 people at the game on Saturday, mostly for drunken behavior, Oestmann said. He added that at least 15 were UNL students.

your thoughts?

About time somebody went to jail for standing up in somebody's way. How the hell you supposed to see the game when some knucklehead is standing in your way. Hope they keep him in jail until after the football season is over so he does not do this crap again!!

I am starting to get really worried about this game. KU may be in a slump but they are still a very, very, dangerous team on offense. Plus we just had the biggest win since Pelini became coach and we had a big let down to TT after a big win at Mizzou.

 

I am sure the players are feeling on top of the world after beating OU, I just hope they don't think we will roll over KU. KU can score and if they score more than 17 I think we lose a close one.

 

I hope NU can get some semblence of an offense going against KU. If we can eat some clock and keep their D on the field I think we win this one going away.

 

Please Bo, don't let the players look past this one. I want to see the same ridiculous intensity and ridiculous hard hitting I saw against OU. Make KU pay dearly for every yard!

You hit the nail on the head. The Huskers will have a let down and lose this game. That's just the way it is. What goes up must come down!

Told my family that if by some miracle the huskers won i would get my first tattoo. I never thought they would actually friggin win. Now after the luster of the win is slowly wearing off im being asked to pay my dues. So husker nation, what should i get.

How about " FIRE WATSON NOW!" ??

does the win over oklahoma move nu to the top 25,,,i don,t think so, the loss to iowa state was very damaging.

Polls are for fishing...

Surprised no one mentioned this yet.

He needed 44 yards to beat Jim Taylor's record going into yesterday's game, and he got 45 yards on six carries.

 

He now has 8208 rushing yards as a Packer, breaking the record which stood since 1966.

 

Ahman Green still playing? That can't be right. Is this some sort of joke or what?

ok so i was just thinking and wondering with all the talk about the points on last weeks game and everybody saying they are going to bet big and blah blah blah... how many actually bet oklahoma? and during the game where you cheering on nebraska and willing to eat the money? or did you actually want oklahoma?

 

just curious.. so come on guys lets hear it!!!! ( i personally did not bet on this game, my uncle bet oklahoma but he sure didnt care after the game was over!)

When the spread came out I said the Huskers would win and I said why. That's why I am one rich son of a ***** right now...!!

who is OO?

Ozzy Ozborne I think...

Nebraska capable of beating Texas, defiling BCS

Two years ago this month, the Nebraska Cornhuskers surrendered 76 points in a loss at Kansas. Three weeks later, the 'Huskers gave up 65 points in a nationally televised, season-ending defeat in Boulder.

 

With Saturday night's 10-3 win over Oklahoma, the 'Huskers have now given up an average of seven points in their past three games. They've held the opposition to 10 points or less six times in nine games.

 

Rest assured, folks — the Blackshirts are back.

 

And if you're a fan of the burnt orange down in Austin, that fact probably shouldn't go unnoticed.

 

Yes, though the offense looks more like a middle school starting 11 than a college one these days, the Nebraska Cornhuskers — still unranked and under the radar — have emerged as one of the few teams in the nation still capable of throwing a wrench in the assumed plan for the BCS Championship Game.

 

With another week of Florida, Alabama and Texas wins now in the books, it appears as though the pundits have all but put the snooze button on until Jan. 7. The sentiment is as follows: The winner of Dec. 5's SEC Championship Game between likely unbeatens Alabama and Florida will play Texas for the BCS title.

 

Alabama continues to find ways to win each week, Florida's defense seems to only be getting better and Texas is finally putting it all together on a consistent basis. For all those pushing for a playoff system or a "plus-one" scenario, the 2009 BCS chase has shaped up to pretty much provide just that. On one side of a fictional bracket is your SEC champion and on the other is Texas.

 

Done and done. No controversies. No antitrust lawyers required. No need to worry, right?

 

Not quite.

 

TCU and Cincinnati fans may be quite pleased to hear that Nebraska — yes, downright ugly Nebraska — could very well be the squad to throw the whole picture-perfect setup into a frenzy.

 

The 'Huskers, 6-3 and winners of two straight, have the defense to put the clamps on a Texas Big 12 Championship Game aerial show. A half-game behind Kansas State in the Big 12 North, Nebraska controls its divisional race. With wins over Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado (teams with a collective record of 14-14) to close out the season, Nebraska would be Texas' last opponent before their assumed entry into the BCS Championship Game.

 

In Saturday night's nationally televised win, the Blackshirts hurried Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones from start to finish and intercepted him five times. The loss marked the first time an Oklahoma offense failed to reach the end zone since 1998.

 

The Sooners had 325 total yards — becoming the first team to put up more than 300 yards on Nebraska this season — but moved inside the Nebraska 20 just once, turned over the ball three times on downs, missed two field-goal tries and had another one blocked.

 

Bo Pelini's defense is more than just carrying this Nebraska team on its back. It's carrying Nebraska on its back, manning the canteen, holding the compass and doing just about everything needed for the climb. In truth, the defense is not only beating Nebraska's opponents in these games, but also willing NU to wins despite an anemic offense.

 

How good is the NU defense? The Blackshirts are second in the nation in scoring defense, second in passing defense and 11th in total defense.

 

How bad is the 'Huskers offense? Nebraska is eighth in the Big 12 in scoring, second-to-last in yards per game and dead last in first downs per game. On Saturday night, the Cornhuskers won despite getting just seven first downs and 180 total yards. They picked up 1 yard when they needed it, though. After Prince Amukamara returned an interception to the Oklahoma 1 in the second quarter, Zac Lee threw to Ryan Hill for Nebraska's fourth offensive TD in its past four games.

 

"That game could have gone a lot of different ways, and we just found a way to hang in there and hang in there, and we made enough plays to win the football game," Pelini said. What he likely meant was, "Thank you, defense. Again."

 

If Nebraska can somehow find an offense — or if one of its two quarterbacks manages to play the position even somewhat competently — over the 'Huskers' next three games, Texas' sleepwalk to Pasadena can be thrown for a loop in the Big 12 Championship Game.

 

In Ndamukong Suh, the likely overall No. 1 pick in the 2010 NFL draft, and sophomore sensation Jared Crick, Nebraska features two of the college game's top interior defensive lineman. Suh is the subject of legitimate Heisman buzz, while Crick had his national coming-out party in a five-sack, 13-tackle performance against Baylor two weeks ago. With Crick, Suh and a well-rounded back seven, the Blackshirts could be just the defense to destroy Texas' national title — and Colt McCoy's Heisman — dreams.

 

Some other unranked teams still capable of spoiling the all-too-perfect BCS picture? Auburn, which plays Alabama at Jordan-Hare Stadium on the Friday after Thanksgiving, could open the door for TCU or Cincinnati if a one-loss Alabama team toppled Florida in the SEC Championship Game. Florida State or South Carolina could do the same for the Gators. Texas A&M has beaten Texas in two of their past three meetings and is playing solid football of late. The Aggies play the Longhorns on Nov. 27.

 

Who knows? Maybe Kansas State takes care of the 'Huskers on Nov. 21, then gets the best of Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game instead. After all, it was the Darren Sproles-led Wildcats who got the best of then-unbeaten Oklahoma in the 2003 Big 12 Championship Game.

 

But it's the surging Cornhuskers that intrigue me the most. In a year when the Heisman Trophy race has been muddied in mediocrity, injuries have sidelined more quarterbacks than ever before and top teams continue to stumble offensively, defense has been the underlining storyline of the 2009 college football season. The Blackhshirts boast arguably the top overall unit in the land. Would it not be fitting for such a squad — one that's all D and no O — to serve as the Steve Wynn elbow to the BCS Picasso?

 

Perhaps the most insightful thing said about Nebraska was what came out of the mouth of a high school kid on Saturday night.

 

Jay Guy, a 6-foot-1, 310-pound blue-chip recruit from Aldine, Texas, attended the 10-3 win.

 

When asked by a reporter about his future as a college player, Guy responded: "Yes, sir, I'm committed to Nebraska. It's a good fit for me. I don't know if you watched the game, but the Nebraska defensive line is ridiculous. I think Nebraska can take me to the next level as a player."

 

It can also ruin the perfect 2009 BCS Championship Game picture.

 

Consider yourself warned, Texas.

Nothing like looking ahead 2 months. What about Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado?? DUH !!!

Did anyone else see how Pelini went off on Watson after the Lee/Helu fumble? I think Pelini knew we had 3 points in the bag with the field position and did not like that pitch call (neither did I).

If was BO I would have fired Watson on the spot !! Watson needs to go coach high school or Division 3 somewhere. He is ruining the program !!

Zac Lee sucks and he is the reason why fans are jumping off/on the bandwagon. If he didn't suck so bad, people wouldn't be jumping off. Cody Glenn as permanent QB would eliminate all the bandwagon fans.

NO kidding. Cody Glenn would run all over their butts to the goal line !!! He is one tough hombre !!!

Why would you have to study, You are a homer, there should be no reason to study tape

 

If you studied tape on Oklahoma and came to the judgement we would win you must see things that no one else does.

 

You have no choice but to pick Nebraska the rest of the way or your endless screams mean nothing.

 

What a joke.

You need to back off of that coffee my friend. It has you ranting uncontrollably !!

What's your prediction for this weekend oh mighty one?

Haven't studied the film yet. I will let you know later this week.

Anybody else tired hearing about those silly tunnel walks? Since when did a tunnel walk win a game. I don't remember useless tunnel walks when Devaney and TO won all their National Championships. The team just ran out onto the field that's all. How they gonna do a tunnel walk down in Kansas that's what I want to know ??!!

Some people probably thought I was joking when I said the Huskers defense would kick the Sooners butt all the way back to Norman !! It was no joke !! Was I wrong?? I don't think so !! Yeah Baby GO HUSKERS !!

Ignore............

 

NU was lucky to win with Zac Lee playing most of the game.

and Ignore............

Fine. You don't want to learn anything about Husker football that's OK with me. YOur loss not mine.

RedGixxer, Worst post of the year. That was just an idiotic statement, do you think before you type?

Fine we'll see who's right after a couple of years when there is NO improvement in the offense because of these 2 QB's. If they don't find a Blue Chipper with loads of talent they will never get to the next level. They can't expect the defense to win each and every game week after week !!!

Cody Green was sick with the flu yesterday which negatively impacted his performance. Zac Lee was brought in because Green was sick, even though he didn't look any better. A sick Cody Green is equivalent to a healthy Zac Lee. Cody Green will start against Kansas because:

 

1) He will be over the flu by next weekend

2) He is a running threat

3) His passing accuracy is better than Zac Lee

4) He has a better arm than Zac Lee

 

 

Look for Cody Green to start the rest of the season.

Cody Green is over-rated, over-hyped and over his head. This dude will never be able to play BIG TIME college football. I can't get over why everybody has Cody Green mania. THIS DUDE HASN'T DONE NOTHING ALL YEAR and everybody wants him in there! WHy Why WHy ??? Lee is not much better. They need to recruit a BLUE CHIP quarterback who can run and pass the ball. Green and Lee are NOT the answers and never will be !!!

Good for you. Really unbearable to watch if you like points scored. But a good win for the Huskers!!!

I'd rather see an awesome defensive war any day !!! Didn't expect the Huskers offense to do anything anyway. That haven't all year except against cupcakes...

Amazing, none of us would have ever considered that. You better tell Bo!

BO knows that and he knows he needs to get busy after the season and get guys who can play. Dumping Watson is also a MUST !!! Solich would do a hellava lot better job than Watson!!! Anybody but that clueless Watson!!

What did everybody think of the special Tunnel Walk for the OU game? Hope you enjoyed it.

Sick and tired of hearing about that stupid tunnel walk. Tunnel walks don't win games, making plays wins games. If tunnel walks were the only thing that won games, everybody in the damn country would have the stupid tunnel walks.

Too bad the Huskers have 0 offensive talent. If the Husker offensive was 25% as good as their defense, they would be playing for the National Championship THIS YEAR! And if their DEFENSE was as bad as their offense they would lose every game. THey need to recruit players for the offensive line, a good quarterback, great running backs and guys who can run routes and catch the friggin ball !!!

If you had said "the crimson used car salesmen will give us 5 picks and a free touchdown on their way back to Norman," I would regard you as more of a visionary.

If you read my message I said the DEFENSE would kick the Sooners all the way back to Norman. Ummm am I wrong or does the DEFENSE get picks? There is your analysis for you...
