D looking great so far!

3 and out!!! GBR!!!

As much as I love Memorial Stadium... I can honestly say it is the only college football stadium I've been to where I felt out of place standing up... ridiculous...

HAHA... I like it! Good rankings.

Oh my freaking god... Thank you for paying Attention there D!!!

just a little tidbit of information here... I've been to 5 husker games in Lincoln and all 5 of them I've sat in vastly different spots. However, each time, no matter the opponent, the surrounding crowd has always just sat there and clapped from their seats. The only time there was a roar and people actually standing was when we scored or there was a turnover/etc. I remember being told to sit down by several husker fans on both of my first two trips to lincoln where after that I just went with the crowd because I was tired of being annoyed. However... I went to the KSUcks game in Manhattan this year, and noticed that all of the purple people were standing for the first two quarters (understandably not after half, but that's not my point). Even decked out in red near the visitors section, I felt I HAD to stand and cheer the entire game... It was the complete opposite feeling from Lincoln where I felt I would be in trouble if I sat, rather than be in trouble for standing... Nebraska has the most loyal and classiest fans in all of college football... I just wish people would get emotional on game day and show their support by doing more than just sitting and clapping after every play... I've been to golf tournaments where there was more fan spirit than games in Lincoln

I want to see complete domination by the blackshirts, and at least 200 yards passing and running by the offense. Oh, and I want us to have the ball as the game ends, and have bo call a passing play where Martinez holds the ball till the last second and throws it out of bounds with one second to go... then as the game clock clicks over to 00:00 I wanna see Bo reach in his shirt and throw the red challenge flag...

Link if anyone really cares... LA Times Link

Don't have a link or anything concrete yet... But it was just announced on SportsCenter on ESPN that when Colorado and Utah join the PAC-10 that the conference would be renamed to the PAC-12 Wonder if the big 12 will consider a name change? Maybe UT and the 9 blind mice or something similar... haha :throwdabones1: :throwdabones1:

If you make all money even and make Texas like all the other teams, then I say yes and still go to the Big 10... It will benefit the University of Nebraska as a whole much more than the Big 12 ever will. However... since you said for a "pure football answer only" then I say we stay in the Big 12.

Only if the weather is perfect. I often see "we would have sold out the stadium, but it was 40 degrees outside for crying out loud". I would love for some sort of weather like there was at last year's MU game - it's fairly hard to be a douche when the weather is so crappy. I'll get busy on Saturday mornings and do my rain/snow/blizzard dances. Get with those dances!! Let me know if I can help also!! The more crappy the weather is, the more likely there is more red in the crowd than purple... I know I'll be there no matter what

Ok... so we all know that this season was the season that our OOC schedule and our conference schedule panned out that we had an inside track to being undefeated and playing for the BSC Championship. Now, we have all these Big 12 teams' fans who are going to be extremely hostile towards the huskers. Case in point, there's this HUGE K-state fan at my workplace. He doesn't know that I'm a husker fan yet... He comes over and is talking college football to one of the guys next to my desk and I eventually join in. He pretty much says that he feels sorry for any nebraska fan coming to Manhattan this year because he plans on being "extremely rude and violent if necessary" because it's Nebraska's fault that the Big 12 is going down the drain. (maybe his tune will change now that Texass is staying on board) This is where I inject my 2 cents... lol... he didn't agree (cause i'm a silly husker fan i guess) But anyway, it got me thinking... I know nebraska is gonna play this year with the mentality that "we'll never play you again (likely) so lets kick the **** outta you, husker style", but I just have a bad feeling about all the emotions that are going to be going against the huskers each and every game. Its like the road games are gonna be twice as tough because everyone wants to beat the terrible huskers... But, on a different note... people don't show so much hatred unless they are jealous/envious... so maybe we should take it as a compliment... I guess what I'm trying to say is... WHEN WE GO UNDEFEATED THIS YEAR IT WILL BE THAT MUCH SWEETER!!!! GBR!!!!!!!!!! :bonez :bonez :w00t :w00t :koolaid2: :koolaid2:

Ya it was on college football live, not really much to it... just a bitter Baylor university handling it a different way then Kansas has so far Heres a link containing the original quote for those who need it, lol http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/colleges/baylor/stories/060810dnospobayloremails.7e10ca51.html

I'm thinking that if there were a press conference scheduled for TONIGHT, it would be out on the local news outlets by now... They gonna have one without the press?? Yep, No press conference. I wouldve been all over the news by now. I do have a feeling their will be one before the weekend though. While I do agree with both of your points about no news yet so it's not gonna be tonight... You gotta also take into account that with the story like this, NU could announce that they are having a 7:00pm press conference like 15 minutes before 7 and they would still have every major/minor news outlet there on time...

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/columnists/ccarlton/stories/060810dnspocarltoncol.198ac25.html The only thing I really don't agree with is the fact that the columnist mentions that Nebraska draws less than 700,000 households... While true (in the state) I think he fails to realize that Nebraska has one of the largest nationwide fanbases... so just because there's less than a million in Nebraska, doesn't mean that that number is even close to the amount Nebraska would bring. Also, the quote from the KU chancellor is very interesting...

Grats Ingram... GBR!!!!

Voted... LOL at Nebraska having 93% voting for Suh... That all you got??

we blew this game, not the officials. Other than the PI and the lack of holding calls in the Big 12 (Nebraska held several times as well), I didn't really have an issue with officiating. That being said I think we should be feeling great we did not get waxed in this game like the previous Big 12 north pretenders. Enough with the "Moral" Victories... seriously it gets amazingly old, and quickly... I don't know if people think this is intramurals or what... but "Moral" victories mean jack in the Big 12. Or maybe I'm the only one who's not ok with losing a close game, maybe I'm the only one who wants to see us run over teams again Simple fact is we had it, and let it slip like we have so many times before... (Last year Va Tech, TTU, this year Va Tech, ISU (kinda), Texas all come to mind immediately) I'll be the first to tell you, when they did review that play they got the right call... but we're all upset because it should have never been an issue to begin with... the game clock read 00:00... game over Both teams made horrible calls over the course of the game, but it feels like Texas got bailed out on their mistakes multiple times and it really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth

I guarantee that we will hear more to this story soon... It may be the usual, "The Big 12 Conference officials acted correctly... blah blah blah" but we will hear something, or chaos will ensue

It's not the first time I've seen this before. This happened this year in the Notre Dame-SC game. The clock went to 0:00 than the refs reviewed it and time was put back on the clock and ND got another play from like the 4 yard line. Ya... the funny thing about that game is that the home team was not a Big 12 team... therefore they don't use the Big 12 replay rules which are different that other conferences and the blanket NCAA rules... Its not whether they made the correct call after initiating the review or not... its about the fact that the game was over, and it should have stayed over. None of us have anything to do with the rules or why certain rules are made the way they are, but the simple fact is that they are rules... if you are not going to follow them, then why make them? As for your second two comments... Pass Interference is more of a judgment call, and without looking into it at all, I'd imagine that pass interference is one of the fouls that can't be reviewed... again, haven't looked into it so i'm not sure I don't even know what you are trying to say on your last comment...

no, if we got robbed, we tell the big 12 we are joining another conference, just join another one anyways. What exactly is Nebraska getting out of this except getting shafted? Atleast if we played in another conference we could schedule Oklahoma every year like we use to play them...... You guys have got to be kidding me if you actually believe that Nebraska would leave the Big 12 because of this call...

Mind saying where that comes from? Cause its not in anything I posted... Ok... I see that you have edited your post to include a source... Now this brings up another problem, because IIRC Conference rules overrule NCAA rules, so then: Comes into play because nowhere in the Big 12 rules does it say something to the effect of "Any rules not discussed herein will be covered by the NCAA rulebook" So... that means that the play clock is NOT reviewable in Big 12 games

Mind saying where that comes from? Cause its not in anything I posted...

Straight from the horse's mouth... The play clock is not allowed to be reviewed under Big 12 Rules UNLESS there is something else being reviewed on the play... http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbm...;ATCLID=1522906 YES they CAN adjust the game clock, but only if something else is being reviewed... nowhere does it even hint (grey area) at reviewing only the game clock to be allowed... Nothing will come of it... but just another bullet for you conspiracy theorists...

McCoy is getting most votes/hour by a long shot - watch out. GOGO ESPN HATES NEBRASKA VOTING MACHINE!!!
