  1. I absolutely have a problem with throwing the ball, even more than 10 times. They are still learning the WCO. By throwing the ball too much, is a very easy way of losing control of the game. We'll have a better chance of putting the ball in D. Sproles hands where he can hurt us. He can't do much if he's sitting on the bench watching his defense.

     

    Heaven forbid if we get behind early. If we do, I could definietly see 30 attempted passes, maybe even 35.

  2. Here's my prediction

     

    We know that K State doesn't have the best run defense, so you know that means Callahan will throw the ball, and the resident Stick in the Mud says Dailey attempts over 30 passes...

     

    And we lose...

  3. Well, I didn't get to listen to the game, as I usually do, because in New Jersey, trying to get a husker game on TV, is like trying to get an audience with the pope...

     

    My internet was FUBAR, so I didn't get to listen...

     

    I'm not taking it that I missed a whole lot...

     

    We kicked hell out a of a bad team, which was pretty much expected...

  4. This is Bill Callahan we're talking about...

     

    I'd like to offer two pieces of evidence...

     

    1) 2002 Superbowl, when all he did was throw the ball, and the TB defense had them for lunch

     

    2) 5 minutes to go in the game against Pitt, let's throw on 1st down...

     

    I could come up with more, but I will refrain...

  5. about the recruiting thing...

     

    All remember hearing is about how great of a recruiter Callahan was, and how his staff were excellent recruiters.

     

    Granted he didn't have the full amount of time to recruit, but you might be able to sell sand to arabs, if the program sucks, your gonna catch hell trying to get steven hawking to play for us...

  6. I personally think the installing of the WCO wasn't necessary in the least. If anything it's to stoke his own ego. It's like he's doing this to prove something. He's going to shoot this program in the ass, to inflate his own ego.

     

    I think he's a selfish bastard, but that's just me.

     

    Another thing, when we were running the option, we didn't have to worry about recruiting recievers. All we were worried about were running backs, quarter backs, offensive linemen, and tight ends. Our recievers didn't have to be blue chip prospects.

     

    See, why are you going to make things harder than they already need to be. Callahan's an ego maniac...

  7. Quality post by the way...

     

    So, we spend the next couple of years going 7-4, then we see the recruits that Callahan has brought in. If that doesn't work, then what? We've essentially blown 2 or 3 years. Will SP stay with Callahan, since he's got the "big name"?

     

    I guess what it boils down to, is the fact that I keep asking the question, "was all this really necessary"?

     

    I'm not trying to be a "stick in the mud", but just trying to play devil's advocate.

  8. Ok, it's easy to be an armchair coach, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that this offense has "sh*t the bed".

     

    We don't have the talent to facilitate the WCO, bottom line. Joe Dailey's not the guy to run the show, not to be sounding like a killjoy.

     

    Such a radical change in offense is something that should be done over time, not just boom, here's our offense, now go...

     

    This change has implications that is going to come up and bite us in the ass, and that could pull down our program to the level of Duke. And i'm not talking about the basketball team...

  9. QUOTE 

    In an interview Monday, Nebraska's athletic director said he wasn't embarrassed by Saturday night's 70-10 loss to Texas Tech.

     

     

     

    how the hell can you not be embarrassed after that game.

     

    That's like saying, so, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

     

    NOT EMBARRASED?!?!?!? What game was he watching? Sure as hell wasn't the same one we all were.

     

    Abandon the WCO now. Why is he fixing something that's not broken? Why? Can somebody tell me, why in the hell, he's going to come in, and change the offense?
