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...
-
Kansas is now halfway to bowl eligibility: all they’ve got to do is beat #8 Nebraska in Lincoln, then #10 Oklahoma State and #17 Missouri at home.
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...

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

what would you choose for a pure football answer only, take out the money and all of the texas being the boss?
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.

yeah big ole bill Snyder family stadium's going to be really rocking......and so is all 45,000 in Lawrence......This is why I'm looking forward to the big 10.
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!!!!!!!!!!

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

There will be a NU press conference tonight is the buzz over at HI, not sure I beleive it yet, but wouldn't that be sweet.
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...

If Nebraska won't commit to Big 12, everything will fall apart
10:13 PM CDT on Monday, June 7, 2010
Column by CHUCK CARLTON / The Dallas Morning News | ccarlton@dallasnews.com

While Nebraska decides whether it's in or out of the Big 12 , an aggressive Pac-10 is going all-in.
The ultimatum countdown continued Monday for the Big 12, marking maybe the most significant week since the conference was formed in 1994.
Nebraska and Missouri have only a few days to commit to the Big 12 through 2016, with the Cornhuskers viewed as the deciding factor in the conference's future. The Friday deadline might be flexible.
The Pac-10 authorized commissioner Larry Scott to pursue expansion on Sunday and is prepared to add Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State from the South, along with Colorado, according to multiple sources familiar with the negotiations.
While the discussions this week will include official invitations, sources said, the talks are also a continuation of high-level conversations with the expansion candidates dating back several weeks.
Despite Baylor's lobbying efforts with Texas lawmakers, Colorado remains a favorite of Pac-10 presidents, according to a source.
Right now, the unstable Big 12 landscape resembles nothing more than one giant game of Jenga, with the Cornhuskers the critical piece. If they refuse to commit to the conference, then everything collapses.
Nebraska hasn't been in this big a spotlight since the BCS title game against Miami after the 2001 season. With chancellor Harvey Perlman and athletic director Tom Osborne keeping a low profile, nobody knows how Nebraska might be leaning.
Nebraska can swallow its pride, pledge allegiance to the Big 12 and agree to stay in the league through 2016. The Cornhuskers could work the phones with the expansion-minded Big Ten and opt for a new home if the news is favorable.
Or, in what could be a case of calling the conference's bluff, Nebraska might just ignore the ultimatum.
Osborne has long been worried by Texas' dominance of the league. Nebraska and Texas clashed in the league's formative stage about athletic eligibility. Texas won that battle for more stringent academic standards. The conference office went to the Dallas metropolitan area.
Osborne's feelings about a perceived Texas tilt in the conference surfaced in an interview with the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal-Star before the recent spring Big 12 meetings.
"I imagine we may have some discussion as to how you start or stop the clock on an incomplete pass," Osborne said, a reference to the Big 12 football title game and a loss to Texas.
But what will Nebraska bring to the Big Ten? The Cornhuskers have one of the greatest football traditions in the country but less than 700,000 households in the state. That's not going to move the meter for Big Ten Network revenue like Missouri or Rutgers.
The Big Ten may still be focused on landing Notre Dame to the exclusion of all other candidates, according to a source. Without assurances of a spot, the Cornhuskers might find themselves in a husk of a conference.
Big 12 North schools that have been notably absent from expansion scenarios are urging Nebraska to commit.
"There are some universities that survive and thrive without a large athletic program," Kansas chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little told the Associated Press. "I hope we don't have to test that out."
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??

They didn't gift them sh#t...they gave them the second they deserved. You didn't even need replay to see it if you were watching on TV. What you're saying is you'd rather have a win by screwing Texas out of their deserved chance at the FG than taking the risk of letting them win in a legit fashion. How wonderful.
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

Just posted this in another thread:
There is so much stuff going around I don't know what to believe but this is the Big 12 Championship...an explanation is clearly due. I am sure there must be reporters digging through archives right now...surely there must be another college football game in history where the clock was out and time was put back on and gave a team another play? If so, I'd really like to see how the circumstances stack up against what happened tonight.
Look if this has precedence in past and rule can be explained to Bo and TO then so be it. But, if not then this is serious crap and NU should be Big 12 Champ.
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...
But it really should be. (reviewable)
Would you really want to win on that technicality?
But the pass interference call when Colt tried to throw it away..Why was that not reviewable?
And what is that..a 30 yd penalty for kicking the ball out of bounds?
The better (overall) team won.
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...

Limitations on Reviewable Plays
ARTICLE 6. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable.
However, the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those
involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable. This excludes
fouls that are not specifically reviewable (Reviewable fouls: Rules 12-3-2-c
and d, 12-3-4-b and 12-3-5-a).
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:
Plays Not ReviewableArticle 4. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable.
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

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...

Instant Replay GuideAll Division I-A conferences have requested a uniform system of replay to be included in the rules book.

Such equipment shall provide the game referee and the replay official a secure and private means of communication.
Section 5. Initiating the Replay Process
Game Stop
Article 1. There are two methods to stop a game to review a ruling on the field.
a. The replay official and the crew shall review every play of a game. The replay official may stop a game at any time before the ball is next put in play whenever:
1. There is reasonable evidence to believe an error was made in the initial on-field ruling.
2. The play is reviewable.
3. Any reversal of an on-field ruling, which would result from indisputable video evidence, would have a direct, competitive impact on the game.
b. The head coach of either team may request that the game be stopped and a play be reviews by challenging the on-field ruling one time during a game.
1. A coach initiates this challenge by taking a team time out before the ball is next put in play and informing the referee that the coach is challenging the ruling of the previous play.
2. After a review has been completed, if the on-field ruling is reversed, that team’s time out will not be charged.
3. After a review has been completed and the on-field ruling is not reversed, the charged team time out counts as one of the three permitted that team for that half.
4. A head coach may not challenge a ruling in which the game was stopped and a decision has already been made by the replay official.
5. If a head coach requests a team time out to challenge an on-field ruling and the play being challenged is not reviewable, the time out shall count as one of the three permitted the team during that half of the game.
6. A head coach may not challenge an on-field ruling if all the team’s timeouts have been used for that half. If all team timeouts have been used and a head coach signals for, and is granted, a time out, a delay penalty will be assessed.
7. Each head coach shall be permitted one challenge per game.
When to Stop a Game
Article 2. a. A game may be stopped, either by the instant replay official or by a head coach’s challenge at any time before the ball is next put in play.
b. No game official may request that a game be stopped and a play be reviewed.
Section 6. Reviewing an On-field Ruling
Procedures
Article 1. a. When a game is to be stopped either by the replay official or by a head coach’s challenge, the designated officials on the field will be notified by a buzzer system or other appropriate means.
b. The referee shall announce that the ruling on the field is being reviewed. If the game has been stopped due to a head coach’s challenge, the referee will so indicate in the announcement.
c. All reviews shall be based upon video evidence provided by and coming directly from the televised production of the game. If there is no television available, all video pictures shall come from the in-stadium video board production.
d. After the referee has conferred with the replay official and the review process has been completed, the referee shall make one of the following announcements:
1. If the video evidence confirms the on-field ruling:
“After review, the ruling on the field is confirmed.”
2. If there is no indisputable (conclusive) evidence to reverse the on-field ruling:
“After review, there is no conclusive video evidence to change the ruling on the field. Therefore, the ruling stands.”
3. If the on-field ruling is reversed:
“After review, there is indisputable (conclusive) video evidence that . . . [followed by a brief description of the video evidence]. Therefore, . . . [followed by a brief description of what the reversal means].
e.If a ruling is reversed, the replay official shall supply the referee with all pertinent data as needed (next down, distance, yard line, position of the ball, clock status/adjustment) in order to resume play under the correct game conditions.
Time Restrictions
Article 2. a. Although each head coach is limited to one challenge per game, there is no restriction on the number of times the replay official may stop a game to review an on-field ruling.
b. If the game is stopped to review a play, there is no time limit for the review process.
Section 7. Reversing an On-Field Ruling
Criterion for Reversal
Article 1. In order to reverse an on-field ruling, the replay official must see indisputable video evidence through one or more video replays provided to the monitor.
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...
