Did you seriously just predict we would lose to Iowa State?

Sounds like Brent was speaking the truth. What did he say that wasnt true?

 

 

Only true Huskers are allowed to have a opinion on the Huskers

 

 

GBR!!!

You mean myopic Kool Aid drinking Nebraska Football dominates every minute of my life Nebraska has to go 13-0 or I will die fans?

I have an actual copy of Billy's contract. It's public record as UNL is a state university. We studied all the coaches' (football, basketball, volleyball, etc.) contracts in a class of mine. The Lexus is part of his contract and is part of his buyout, so don't think he'll be giving it up. Unless he's paid about $40,000, of course.

Well had NU beaten Missouri and Kansas the season may have gone in a different direction don't you think? Oh probably not its not like the Missouri game had a negative affect on the following games did it?

Sounds like Brent was speaking the truth. What did he say that wasnt true?

Rehardless of coaching at some point in the season the players have to step it up and play the game. This team showed what it was capable of against K State. This team had a horrible habit of laying down when they got behind. The players have to take some responsibilty for blown assignments and lack of fire. Maybe when Pelini comes in he can show some fire by racing across the field after a drubbing and ripping the opposing coach for "running it up".

Red jerseys, white pants, helmets, pads... stuff like that.

I heard they're wearing all black at home.

Anytime one school spends as much time claiming a rivalry is not a rivalry as NU does with CU, it is the very defenition of rivalry.

Oh no they wore all white.....................sign of surrender.......boo hoo.....tradition..........wah!!!!!!!!! How about you face the fact that this is 2008. Nebraska is not going to win 9+ games every season. No team is. You will have a season where you win 10 then 8 then 10 then 5 then 7 then maybe every so often a season where you will make a run at the National Championship.

Here's why. We were all raised on Big 8 football. The tradition was built on Big 8 schedules that featured a near guarantee of 6 automatic conference wins every year. Add in two or three soft non conf foes and you have your 8 or 9 wins. Nebraska's schedule nearly always was two cupcake non conf one middle of the road non conf and one solid top 25 non conf. Followed up by 6 almost for sure Big 8 wins then Oklahoma.

Now its the Big 12. Every team is capable of beating everyone else(with the exception of Baylor). Throw in the scholarship reductions and you have, wait for it, parity in College Football. Nebraska fans, Notre Dame fans Alabama fans etc.. are all slowly realizing this fact. You can not just sit back and expect 10 wins every year. You already ran Frank Solich out of town and here is all he did. 1998 9-4, 99 12-1, 00 10-2, 01 11-2, 02 7-7(oh no) and the dreaded 2003 season 9-3(with Frank) 10-3 overall. 58-19. The program was slipping into mediocraty.

Oh I know the Solich haters will say he didnt recruit good players, he won with Toms players etc. Now you are running Coach Callahan out of town for going 27-22. And what is the next Coach going to be able to do? After four years and no national titles will he be sent packing? This is exactley what has happened to Alabama post Bear Bryant. Perkins,Curry, great run with Stallings then a couple down years and they ran him out, Dubose,Fran,Price,Shula and now Hail Saban the 4 million dollar savior who took Shulas 6-6 Tide and turned them into a 6-6 team. Point is be careful what you wish for.

 

Why does everyone bring up Alabama? Their biggest problem was being on probation for several years with the accompanying scholarship and recruiting restrictions. Fran got hired away and Price liked strippers.

 

Following your logic, how do you explain the continued success of USC, LSU, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Boise State (forget them?), Auburn, Georgia and the rest of the consistent top 25 teams?

 

What I wish for is a team that plays hard and at least has a chance to win. If I want to watch teams play 65-51 games I'll watch basketball. Nebraska football wouldn't be competitive in the Sun Belt Conference.

The point isn't consistent top 25. NU was that with Solich and he was run out of town. Husker faithful expect to contend for the BCS crown every year and not one of the teams you mentioned do that every year. Yes USC had a run of three BCS title games Ohi State had two, Boise State ? when they play in a real conf let me know. Texas has had one title since 71. Florida has had two in the last 12. Auburn had one undefeated season and a lot of 8-3 type years. You are making my point for me. Top 25 is not good enough anymore for Husker fans unrealistic expectations.

Odd I don't hear anyone complaining about the volleyball,basketball,baseball etc teams having worn black as part of their uniforms while representing the U of N.

This rivalry died in 1988 when Switzer left OU. Watching OU vs NU now just isn't the same without Barry and Tom on the sidelines. Wishbone vs I was what it was all about.

 

Thats funny since neither T.O. or Switzer was the head coach of their respective team in the game of the Century.

 

I said that was when the rivalry died. What the heck does that have to do with Bud or Bob?

If you start squirtin' when you see Georgia wear black go be a fan of theres. Nebraska is Scarlet and Cream. We don't need to change. Maybe you can talk to T.O. about changing the colors to fit you...Pastels

Pastels wouldn't be bad it would match the way the pink shirts played most of the year

Already made it happen on my PS3 while I was drinking my sunny D and guess what......it does look bitchen.

My first home game was Oklahoma in 1987. #1 vs #2. Charles Thompson replacing an injured Jamelle Holieway rushing for 100 yards. Anthony Stafford, Patrick Collins and Rotnei Anderson all having an incredible day. Steve Taylor made to eat a little crow. OU 17 NU 7. It was a great day.

Huskers roll 38 to 9.

Watching Georgia come out in black jerseys got me wondering how the Huskers would look with "black shirts". I think it would be cool to see the Huskers wear black every once in a while.

Joey Ganz will add the Heisman to his 5 Las Vegas Entertainer of the year awards.

Give Billy C the rest of his contract and he will bring you two National Titles. How bout admitting NU is running up the score. Going for it on 4th down twice? Half back pass up by 42? Would Bo Pelini run across the field and yell at Callahan like he did Coach Schynder?

Give Callahan his 5 years!!!!! He is a great coach. Lets keep Coz too!!!!

Not only was Joey Ganz Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year 5 years running he's also a hell of a QB. Oh wait Im sorry that was Danny Gans.

My bad.

Paul HJohnson would be a great hire so we could schedule Delaware and give up 59. Just kidding he actually is a hell of a coach. One name I'd like to see considered is Jim Mora Sr. Playoffs? Playoffs?

My dad and I noticed the week before on the Travis Justice show, they had video footage of Tom trying to encourage the team as they entered the tunnel the same kind of treatment from not only the coaches but the players as well.

I heard BC gave TO the finger then spit at him.
