I know Tech already lost to OU, which makes our task later this year, even more daunting. Callahan, could be screwing himself. He'd better use this loss as a wake up plan for everybody from the coaching staff, down to the place kicker. Otherwise, it's gonna be a hell of a long season. Callahan might have a great mind offensively, but considering how the team has looked so far this year, and how disappointing he looked when he was with the Raiders, I don't think he's got the umph, or whatever you want to call it, to motivate this team.

See, the whole ball control thing, I think, would have been key, in slowing them down.

ya know, that whole ball control offense, is how you mess up teams like Texas Tech... They're ready for a sprint, not a marathon...

I remember about 10 or 12 years ago when 2/3rd's of the kids were walkons... We were winning national titles with kids that were just showing up, to tryout...

We're the toothless old dog of the big 12 right now. You know baylor sucks, they're always gonna suck. Texas Tech looks better. Hell, we barely beat KU. I have my friends asking me, what the hell happened to your team?? When they came over to watch some pro games yesterday, they were all amazed my TV was intact. I actually made 15 bucks because almost none of them said it would still be in one piece...

Makes you wonder what happened now???

It's also hard to get kids to commit to Husker football when you're getting your butts handed to you by Texas Tech. Hey, I heard a while back that he's done away with the large roster, and the amount of walkon's that were being accepted? Is this true?

I don't get good inside stuff like the rest of you kids being stuck out here in "Sopranoland"... It's almost like Callahan's afraid to make changes midgame. It's almost like he's got it set in his head that what he's doing will work, and just waiting for it to do so.

And yes, I'm completely serious about what i've said... I would gladly spend tens of millions of dollars of my own money, to bring our beloved team back to the promised land...

As sad as it is, I think I would be a better choice to coach this team... That's my evil plans for winning the Mega Millions Lottery... I win the lottery, fly to Lincoln, and walk in to SP's office, and ask him how much it will be to either, a) fire Callahan, and install me as head coach B) fire Callahan, and have me find a head coach

Like I said in my other post, nobody's scared of us anymore. And it's tough to be scared of the West Coast Offense... I remember the time when we played smashmouth, grind their guts into the mud, football. Not this mamby pamby crap we see now. It was about time of possesion, and rushing for at least a couple hundred yards. It's tough to be scared of a team that just had their butts handed to them by a middle of the pack big 12 team. Next week, they'd better come out, and absolutely destroy Baylor. Not saying that's a great feat, but they need this horrible loss to really p*ss them off. Light a fire under them. Use this as a catalyst for the rest of the season. If they just go into every game from here on out, with a nothing to lose attitude, then, they might be worth watching. But if Callahan isn't able to channel this energy, then hopefully his tenure here, won't be long...

I guess what it boils down to, is that Pelini had a better "feel" for Nebraska football... I remember after a few games with him at the helm of the defense, the "Bo Knows Defense, Black is Back" shirts... Granted he's wasn't a native, but he grasped on to what the team, the fans, all wanted. You felt that he brought something to the defense. An attitude, a swagger, that made the Blackshirts something to be feared again. Now, our whole aura is gone. People look at us like were a friggin' joke, and that's just one of the things that is really bothering me...

Whatever's in the fridge 17) How did you find HuskerBoard? Found it myself

I guess I just miss the days of when we owned the time of possession stat... Just hard to score when you don't have the ball...

Cosgrove wants Huskers to put loss behind them

No, there's no magical playbook, but, you have to notice that somethings not working. You make in game adjustments...

Watching him coach, made me want us to clone Dr Tom...

There are many things that are going to have to happen before everything is ok, and we get along...

This is something i'm glad happened in my lifetime...

I wasn't the biggest Solich fan either. He used to irritate me no end. Watching him coach, almost caused several strokes...

That's a nice call with the commentary. But the whole thing is, in pro ball, if you're star player who's making, for example, 20 million a year, disagree's with a coach who's making 2 million a year, for the most part, management will back the player. He never won a superbowl. He got them to the Superbowl in 2002, where the Silver and Black, got utterly humiliated by the Tampa Bay Bucs. I remember at one point John Lynch, walking past Gruden, and saying something of the effect to, that the raiders are playing exactly like they thought they would. I watched that game, throwing many things at the TV, wondering why won't he run the freakin ball... What it boils down to is, the way he's running the show is killing me...

Husker rebel, I applaud you... I know now, it's the whole "coulda, woulda, shoulda", but we're watching our beloved Huskers crap the proverbial bed. SP just wanted a big name, that would hopefully put butts in the seats, and get some kids to commit. That is all. One thing i've noticed about Callahan is, that apparently, doesn't know what the word, adjustment means.

I'm sorry but I cannot, believe in Bill. And, as for the "all true husker fans" statement, I think that's for the birds too. I'm a true Husker fan, and I find a changing of the offense to be an abomination. We won on defense, running the ball, wearing out the D-line, and then throwing the deep ball once the run is established. Why are we changing now? What precipitated the sudden need to change to the west coast offense? Not to be an "untrue" husker fan, but when was the last time we recruited a "big time reciever"? Irving Fryar is only guy I can think of that was in that category, and how long ago was that? I guess the days of our "blood & guts" grind em out offense are gone. Given up for the glitz and glamour of the west coast offense. And I guess that makes me an untrue Husker fan...

Look at the team he inherited... Not too mention luck played a big part of it. The senior citizens he had on that team played like they did 10 years ago. Sorry, if i'm not jumping on the Callahan bandwagon, but I think he makes terrible decisions... Case in point, 4th quarter in the Pitt game. There's 5 minutes left to go, we're up by a touchdown and he throws the ball on first down??? What the hell was he thinking about. Find something else? So you take pleasure in knowing that we're going to get the everloving crap beaten out of us by OU? Since we're in the Big 12, and don't play them every year, when we do, I would like to beat them. I guess the fact that I get upset about "giving up the booty" to OU makes me a bad fan, then so be it...

I just think Callahan should've never been hired to begin with... All he is a big name, that's it. Anybody watch the superbowl he coached a couple of years ago? He kept throwing the ball, and digger the Raiders in a deeper and deeper hole. He should have run the ball to set up the pass... It is too late now to fire him, we're stuck with him for awhile... You think i'm jumping the gun? You think we got lit up by Texas Tech? Imagine what Oklahoma will do against our crap a$$ offense, november 13th...
