If anything, I am glad they beat the hell out of Ohio State last night so we don't have to see them lose in double digits in another national championship game.
-
if you can barely beat UC Davis, how in God's name do you expect to beat Nebraska?
-
I think they said something about Joe Ganz impregnating a 17 year old and killing a moose in Alaska, but I may have been toggling between CNN.
With his bare hands....
impregnating a 17 year old with his bare hands? NOW THAT'S IMPRESSIVE!!!

What did you expect? Him to declare that we will be NC at the end of the year? Smart players are going to play it real conservative when doing interviews, so they don't end up eating their words.
IMHO it is boring to watch player interviews unless they are talking about a game they just played, they will always say the same things...think in fact that there is a book of usable quotes out there somewhere....
it was nice to see him on ESPN, but the interview was just what you said; boring. He said how it was tough hanging in there and how he likes the new coaching staff. I believe the interview lasted 5 minutes.

T.O., no matter how badly things get, would never "diss" someone. The man is too humble and down to earth to do something like that.

don't blame the players! BLAME CALLAHAN INSTEAD!

welcome to the board mudbugnla...always enjoy watching LSU whenever they are on tv. Les Miles seems like a respectable guy.
-
that guy was amazing...hopefully another Kris Brown
-
I just orgasmed all over myself. Who is our field goal kicker? freakin A! 44 yards out? HOT DAYUM...
-
great stuff...now if I could only get highlights of the game, as I didn't see any on SportsCenter
-
that's the shock! that SMU was favored over all the other big names!
-
the anticipation is killing me! gawd almighty I hope we beat them
-
what a shock!
-
HUGE commit!...literally
-
He just visited Kentucky, and from the sound of it, enjoyed it very much...wouldn't be surprised if he commits there
I think Auburn is the leader as of right now with A&M in second.

Jets OL Coach Eager To Break Favre's Streak Of Consecutive Starts***
By BILL LYDON
New York Timer
Nothing -- not age, injuries, ferocious linebackers, weather, or freak accidents -- has been able to slow Brett Favre since he became a starting NFL quarterback in 1992. For an NFL-record 275 consecutive regular season and playoff games, Favre has been firmly planted as a starting quarterback, rewriting the league record book along the way.
However, Brett Favre has never met Bill Callahan.
Callahan, the first-year offensive line coach for Favre's new team, the New York Jets, looks forward to being the man who finally breaks Favre's streak of consecutive starts.
"Anytime you can take a streak of historical significance and personally be responsible for its conclusion, that's a tremendous credit to the individual responsible for bringing the streak to its end," explained Callahan. "By and large, I've done a tremendous job ending streaks, and I know in my heart of hearts that I am more than capable of bringing this one to an end as well."
In just four historic years as head coach at the University of Nebraska, Callahan's propensity for ending streaks garnered him multiple entries in the Cornhusker vaunted record books. For instance, Nebraska had not suffered through a losing season in more than 40 consecutive years, which was an ongoing NCAA record. That hallowed streak succumbed immediately to Callahan's touch, as he led Nebraska to a losing record in just his first year on the job.
"I made no secret about my ambition to flip that culture in Lincoln," Callahan recalls proudly. "And it took me very little time to do just that. To take a 10-win program and flip it to a 5-win program within one year's time, I think it takes a certain level of competence to achieve such a turnaround. Unfortunately, there were those involved in that particular program who did not have the intellectual capacity to grasp the difficulty of such a milestone."
Nebraska had appeared in an NCAA-record 35 consecutive bowl streaks prior to Callahan's introduction to the program. He quickly erased that streak as well.
"There is only one bowl in the NFL," Callahan said, "and I'm not sure if you've heard of it. It's called the Super Bowl. And I've coached in it. To be particularly candid and blunt, I have little interest in coaching a football team in any bowl other than the Super Bowl, and I think my performance has been consistent with that philosophy."
Other streaks, such as Nebraska's 36-game win streak over Kansas, fell quickly by the wayside under Callahan's watch.
"My biggest personal disappointment is that I was not able to end the streak of sellouts at Memorial Stadium," lamented Callahan. "The streak is clearly the byproduct of living in an isolated state where intellectual stimulation is difficult to obtain. Ending that streak would have been a tremendous accomplishment, a feather in my cap if you will, in terms of changing the atmosphere of that state away from childish football adulation and into a more sophisticated intellectual scenario."
Callahan envisions ending Favre's streak by the end of September. Specifically, he has his eye on the Jets' game at San Diego on September 22, set for a Monday Night Football telecast, where Callahan hopes his influence can be seen by a nationwide audience.
To that end, he is introducing his own unique version of a zone blocking scheme that has, historically, had little to no effect on defensive linemen or linebackers. In Callahan's opinion, pairing such schemes with the aging legs of a 38-year-old quarterback make it a matter of when, not if, Favre's streak of consecutive starts comes to an end.
"Your typical fan or reporter, lay people, tend to focus more on how certain techniques and alignments appear on the football field to their own naked, untrained eye," Callahan explained, "but they have little appreciation or regard for how certain zone blocking philosophies appear when diagrammed to perfection on paper.
"My blocking schemes, and my offensive schemes in general, are certainly a thing of esoteric beauty. There are those of us who understand them, and to us, they are a source of pleasure. There are those who focus on overrated minutia such as sacks, yardage, touchdowns, and victories, and I am frankly not concerned with their opinions."
u freaking idiot

Euless (Texas) Trinity defensive tackle Siosaia Tuipulotu has nailed down his first official visit of the recruiting process. The 6-foot-2, 285-pound standout will travel to Nebraska on September 5 to watch the Huskers take on San Jose State. According to the Texas tackle, if things go well in Lincoln, other trips may not be required.

Couple of years later the two families were invited to have Thanksgiving dinner together. Turns out they are VERY religous. One of their traditions was to stand around the dining room and tell everyone what they were thankful for in the past year. They had a rough year, the father had cancer, they lost the family business, so everyone of them gave the sad sob story - but were thankful for God and family. I was the first one from our side of the family to talk. It was 1988 and NU beat OU the week before 7-3. I said I was thankful for a good defense. That opened the flood gates and everyone elso on my side was thankful for some aspect of the Huskers that year.
We were never invited back for Thanksgiving.
well played

that person obviously needs to get their priorities in order or have their Husker fan card revoked
