I was listening to a radio program in KC, and they were interviewing Bubba's baseball trainer...They asked him if Nebraska was even in play, he responded "absolutely not, the Royal's wouldn't have even considered taking him if they weren't completely sure he was committed to baseball.He is 100% baseball" He went on to say "It's almost comical to me that Nebraska fan's think it's a 50-50 chance. This is a done deal" It isn't his actual baseball coach, so i'm not sure how reliable this is, he's just a trainer that I believe he hits with in the winter. Take this for what its worth, but it's certainly not good news on the Husker front

THIS

All you people bashing on Martinez's throwing mechanics: you wanna know who else had awful mechanics, a guy named Tim Tebow, an I think he ended up being a fine quarterback. Machanics aren't all that important in college, as long as you can get some velocity on the ball

Though this isn't a huge deal, I think they need to add more facemasks for the Revo Speed helmets. The selection for a team like Nebraska, were everyone wears a revo speed helmet, the ame facemask for everybody got repetitive

75-0. Enough said

I don't see why it would be a big deal...it's not like the training they do is going to hurt him in baseball, though i would doubt they would let him do any contact drills or anything like that

I agree. I hope we continue to watch our defense hold teams to under 10 points while the offense doesn't score. If we have to do that for three more years so that we might have an individual win a Heisman, then so be it. We must not cripple QB development! I wasn't saying that the goal of QB development was for someone to win the Heisman, but rather have Heisman level production from one of our QB's. Not once did I say the goal was to win the Heisman. This reminds me of the Jeremiah Masoli-Ole Miss situation...they did something similar to this, and are worse off now than when they brought Masoli in

His acceleration away from that corner on the first play was absolutely ridiculous

Why bring in a QB that has one year of eligibility, give him the starting reigns, and cripple the development of all of our young QB's. Wilson is good, but he can only play for one year, and will likely not even be that impressive because of his lack of playbook knowledge. In my opinon, we'll set back potential Heisman level production from one of our young quarterbacks for a year, for one year of above average quarterback play that by all indications doesn't fit our new offense

Am I the only one who read that part and thought, well then, don't have the draft format! It's not as if these "circumstances" aren't completely under the coaching staff's control. If these issues present themselves year after year, why not have 1's vs 1's? I'm with you zoogies. If practices are at such a premium why would you basically waste one? Why not pit #1 O with #2 D on one team and #1 D with #2 O and fill in with the 3rd and 4th stringers and let them go at it? It's not like people are going to say it wasn't fair? All we want as fans is what's best for the team. I've never understood how you pretty much just throw away a practice. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either. Especially for cfb where practices are so limited and few one would think every single one is to precious to throw away. For what it's worth, I just listened to Mike Bellotti on College Football Live when he was discussing Boise State's self imposed sanction of taking away three practices. He said that during fall camp, they often didn't even participate in all of the alloted practices that they were given, due to injury and fatigue...i know things may be different in the spring, but maybe losing out on one scrimmage isn't a big deal

The Jets let me down again...ANOTHER running back? Come on now...

Everybody calling for TMart's head is gonna be right back on the bandwagon if he starts off like he did last year. Flavor off the Month

It's quotes like this which make me wonder if some of you guys even watch football. Martinez was hit on a blind-side blitz on this pic. You're telling me that in the fraction of a second from when he was hit to when he hit the turf, he should have tucked that ball? Be realistic, please. You're right Knapplc (as always), I've never watched a game of football in my life. Take a look at the pic. Martinez is sitting on the defender. It may have been from the blindside, but it wasn't one of those 'knock your head off' blindside hits. The defender wrapped Martinez up and ragdoll tossed him to the ground. Taylor had plenty of time to tuck the ball, yet he didn't. That play took less than 1.5 seconds and it is extremely unrealistic to expect a quarterback to tuck the ball under that type of situation. I daresay if you were put into the same circumstance, you wouldn't have tucked the ball either. It's not about who is right and who is wrong. I understand people's opinions if they back them up intelligently and have a factual basis even if I don't agree with it. The point is that you're putting unrealistic expectations on a player in that type of situation. Put Green, Carnes, Kellog or any other quarterback we've had come through this university into that exact same situation and they would have fallen the same way. And I don't mean to come off as holier than thou, but when I played football my first few years I played quarterback. I never once reacted fast enough to tuck the ball in this type of situation. Even if I got twisted around like Martinez did it's natural instinct to put your arms onto the ground and brace your fall - not tuck the ball and slam into the turf. The reason his arm was flung out like that could be the momentum of getting swung around in a circle...thats just a pretty natural reaction to gravity when one is getting thrown

I'm a radio guy, so these are just what I'm hearing...Green looked pretty bad, Martinez was 2/8 on three drives but his receivers dropped about three passes. Carnes and Ron Kellogg have looked solid, especially Carnes. Jamal Turner is a beast, catching a 20 yard TD, and returned a punt about 30 yards. Legate has scored 2 TD's on a nice of those being a 15 yard run

I'm only listening to the Spring Game on the radio, so granted I can't see what's going on, but it seems to me that that when Green and Kellogg were in the game they favored the I formation, and when Martinez and Carnes were in the game they went with Pistol. If this is true, it seems to me that we're adjusting our offense to the QB that's on the field. Great to see!

I've never left a game early (waste of money for the ticket IMO, get the full experience) but i have turned games off on the tv before

This kid is extremely talented. I watched him play versus Butler in a juco game near where I live. I'm afraid he doesn't have much supporting cast around him though

I agree with all of them, especially with the zone read...i can usually run it a few times succesfully early, then it fails miserably, almost an instant loss. Then, when you try a play action pass or a screen off of it, you get sacked or covered. Ever since i changed the sliders though, things have been better
