I can't remember the last time NU beat a team worth a crap at night let alone beat any team at night so I like day games right now

Has anyone heard anything about Will Henry. He is the one WR i really expected to have a break out year. Is anyone hearing how he is doing?

 

 

6"5 and runs a sub 4.4 40. I hope so.

SUB 4.4 40 ??!! REALLY ??

this dude's hands must be made of stone

If you don't mind driving to Ames and sitting amongst a bunch of ISU fans, I can probably come up with two more tickets for the 10/18 game. Have two spoken for already but can probably beg another two. Only if you're serious about driving over though because I'm probably going to have to sleep with an ugly woman in order to get them....

hey BRI , if Cy bags a fugly for the good of a Husker fan wouldn't that mean his transformation would be complete ?

i have a buddy that's like 90% booksmart and about 10% common sense ... we used to call him the smartest dumba$$ we know but Callahan took that title last fall

ooooohhhhh i can't freakin wait !!

or a 4.5 40 yard dash linebacker

well at least you won't be the only husker fan at the ISU-NU game ... it'll be you and the newly transformed Cy the Cyclone !

actually it'll probably end up being Cory Mckeon

Barry Turner, SUH, or Slauson could be captain over Dillard

i think he's gonna make the transition just fine...

1) it's the Pelinis and Ekeler coachin him up

2) we all know he's a heavy hitter and loves contact

3) he's got 3 games to get ready for VT and they're all at home

4) Washington will push him and make him better

5) his attitude and dedication seem to be pretty good

he'll be fine and I can't wait to see this beast in action !

good lord why am I the only one I know that thinks Nebraska will win that game ?

 

VT has advantage in special teams, no doubt ... they also have Tyrod Taylor who scares the heck out of me.. but honestly , is there more they have that I'm missing ??

 

NU has home field , a better offense , and we all know the D will be better because they'll be flying to the ball and giving 110 % every down. Home field might neutralize VT special teams..

 

seriously , what's the line going to be in that game ? i'd say NU by 3

 

I would guess that the line will be VT by at least 3. I'd be stunned if NU is favored. And, it is not so much what VT has (though they are likely a solid top 20 team, maybe top 15 --- who knows -- talk is that they will be down from their previous level of play, and, if so, they still should be fringe top 25 anyway). rather, it is what NU has (or rather has not).

 

NU comes in with a defense that was near the worst in all of NCAA football --- and 7 of their starters from that defense are gone (among them at least 3 or 4 of the top 5 or 6 we had on defense). Yes, expect 100% effort and expect better coaching from that defense. But.... talent. The LB's are inexperienced and slow. The DL has not a single proven talent on the crew (yes, one could argue that as a freshman that DE Barry Turner showed promise --- but since then? --- and Suh, potential sure, performance, no). At best NU will have a top 50 defense (that is, mid-lower to lower major conference-level defense). We need realize that NU's talent is #6 or 7 or so in the conference --- and such talent rarely beats a VT team --- even at home. Now, maybe the injuries and attrition has made it such that VT is not a typical VT team --- if so, there my be a chance. But VT should and will be favored.

 

Maybe we'll shock them. I do hope so. But if so --- well, it would be an upset.

you're "expect the worse-case-scenario guy" aren't you ? I know this because I'm the same way sometimes but I just don't get why seemingly everyone and their dog is marking that VT game down as a loss...I see that game's final score at like 13-10 or 14-13 or something like that ... i see your points on the Husker D though too..

My guess would be that the first offensive play for the Huskers will be a run between the tackles or a short pass in the flats. I don't think we'll see a long bomb or an option because we don't want to have a turnover to start the game. A simple run between the tackles or quick easy pass and get everyone's nerves calmed a bit before the offense is opened up.

now what kind of fun is that being the boring truth ?!

I agree a turnover on the first play of the season wouldn't be a good thing

No - I was actually confused. I didn't click through your link and was thinking, "Why the hell would anyone rank Nebraska in the top 5 in 2010?", as indicated by my first post in this thread.

 

Sorry for the confusion

well you seem like a pretty smart guy so i thought you were being a smart a$$ .. it's all good playa

I was wondering who put a nanner in a coconut tree.

 

Just because they don't grow in Coconut trees doesn't mean it couldn't be there.

 

 

Also wasn't sure who Ape was..from George of the Jungle fame?

the article is on the five traditonal powers that are "down" right now

 

AH.

 

Well, that explains everything.

come on zoogies i wasn't typing to you I was responding to another poster who didn't get why USC and LSU weren't on the list

Wild Bill...?????? I am not everbody!! AND NO I HAVEN'T AND NEVER WILL.

he's just joking... relax

you know I read or hear a story like that and I usually end up thinking , the people that do these things are sick too.. sick with stupidity

Those scores are deviating quite a bit from each other...some aren't even remotely close. 25 and 2? Well, somebodys bound to be within 15

USC, OU, OSU, Florida, LSU keep doing very good in recruiting, what happened to those programs?

I'd say over and NU goes 8-4 this year. Now if i were to put a substantial amount of money down on this bet, it would surely be under and a disappointing season. I NEVER BET ON NEBRASKA SPORTS... but I'll bet against them ... meaning I'll gladly pay 20 or 40 bucks to see NU win ... reverse psychology baby

Bo will most likely have an outburst or two... epecially with all the pinheads in the local media like JJ Davis

love the name... he just sounds like a playmaker

Get Ekeler on this guy.

i heard that ! hell why doesn't Coach Pelini just print off the info. for the top 10 recruiting targets, hand the paperwork to Coach Ekeler , and say " SICK EM ! "

hizzle bizzle slizzle

This WILL be a good game for once. Probably come down to where the officials mark the ball....

Cy what's your address and can i make the check payable to : Cy the Cyclone ? oh yeah how much you want ?

Cy - nice points you made there.. thanks for reiterating a lot of well known points, and sharing stories

Cy: say Huskerfan , you got a point ?

Huskerfan: uuh no man not on me

Cy: (scoffs) it'd be a lot cooler if you did

a little Dazed and Confused ref. for ya there buddy
