  1. How are they gonna stop Brandon?
  2. Why no link for JC/WR Brandon Kinnie? He's visited and we've made him an offer. 6' 3" 218lb 4.37/40
  3. I thought the facemask was frost? I am seriously drawing a blank on blown calls here...maybe i get so mad i temporarily black out and lose the memory permanantely. Who knows but I do like the ones your threw out there. It was Crouch against K State.
  4. Perhaps not a biggie and I don't know if it would have changed the outcome, but in 1962 Mizzou beat Nebraska 16-7. Johnny Roland broke loose on a long "Touchdown" run. Only problem, the ball had come out of Roland's grasp about the three yard line. It rolled through the end zone and should have been Nebraska ball at the 20. Our seats were on the three yard line where it happened. We went nuts, but there was nothing we could do! Unfortunately, the ref who was about 20-30 yds behind Roland signaled "Touchdown".
  5. More like rotten apples to an apple!
  6. OK, I finally got to read the entire article. I had only read the first few paragraphs. Having lived back east for some time, I was sensing a typical East Coast media hatchet job. Taken in it's entirety, I think it was a good article. I still don't like the Osborne picture. It reminds me of the small headed guy in the cars.com ad. One final question. The article said, "They offered polite applause when Osborne introduced Pelini as a man as unpretentious as they are.. Can anyone that was there tell me if that is accurate? I would think the the place would have exploded at the Pelini introduction.
  7. I glanced at the article. I'll go back and read the entire article, but first a few quick observations. The Times leads off with the Headline Huskers’ New Coach Promises to Heed Program’s Old Ways. They then instead of showing a picture of Pelini, they show a picture of Orborne who is, to be honest, old. The picture, due to the lens they used, makes Osborne (who I love) look freakish. To me they are painting the picture of Nebraska football as OLD, OLD, OLD! Then they say the people come to inspect Pelini. They mention the NFL and LSU, as if no one in Nebraska noticed that Pelini was the Husker Defensive Coordinator in 2003! I'll read on, but the Times is not off to a good start!
  8. Hell, why stop the clock at all! Let the forward pass be a live ball just like a backwards pass (lateral)!
  9. The kind that runs over people, I hope. GBR!!! Watson: Offensive meetings full of "creative discussions"
  10. You can look it up on the free side!. Rivals Top 100 (Just look at the postion designation) Scouts Top 100
  11. Time after time I saw linebackers playing too close the line of scrimmage. Other team lined up 2 and 3 yard deeper. Sometimes the MLB was another yard deep. The LB were rushing to plug a gap while the running back was still 2-3 yards from the LOS. The running back simply picked the gap that wasn't closed. On perimeter plays, too often the linebackers were caught up in the traffic and couldn't get to the outside. Coz made no adjustments. In the Texas game we did good with the blitz package until Texas figured out to run Charles. Did Coz adjust? LOL! Are you kidding me? I could see it, the announcers could see, but not Coz.
  12. Some one is trying to sab-o-tage our program!
  13. A number of Solich's player quit after spending a year under Callahan. The is part of article from late 2004...
  14. Gayle Sayers first year in college was 1961. Devaney did not come to NU until 1962. Sayers was offered by Nebraska but picked Kansas instead (NU was not a very good program at the time). One of the reasons he gave was that Kansas had a better track program. Sayers was recruited by NU head coach Bill Jennings and had he got him to commit to NU, maybe he would not have been fired and then there probably would not have been a Devaney and then later Osborne.. You never know. To bad Sayers was not a couple years younger, Devaney probably would of got him, just like he did Johnny R. who wanted to go to USC. NU was 3-0 in Sayers 3 games vs Nebraska when he was at KU, Kansas had won 5 straight vs the Huskers prior to that. Other big misses - Barry Sanders, NU probably could have got him but already had a couple rbs in class and passed on him. Also tried to recruit Marshal Faulk as a db and he wanted to run the ball. One story I heard was thst Sayers had NOT made up his mind where to go. Jennings heard that Sayers had committed to KU and told Sayers, "I hope you enjoy it at Kansas!". Sayers said that was when he made up his mind to go to Kansas. Sayers was the best I ever saw! He scared you every time he touched the ball, but he never beat Nebraska! He and his brother were also the best I ever played against

  17. Cy, Thought you might like to see a picture of Cleyon. He looks pretty laid-back. I hope he doesn't play dirty. We wouldn't want to have to call him the Alberta clipper! Eh?
