A BCS bowl vs. Oregon St? This game should have been played 12 years ago.... Thanks a lot Notre Lame!

Oregon State 41, Notre Dame 9

Nebraska 66, Northwestern 17

Is Firefly a movie or a TV show?

Firefly was the TV show, Serenity was the full length film based on the show.

who's the best: the Cars or Tom Petty? We had a pretty lively debate going tonight but I would love to hear others opinions- or an rational too

That's a tough one for sure. I would have to go with Petty though, If only for his longevity and a respectable length of sustained relevance.

 

My biggest concern is us. We tend to do poorly after big wins, and when the Blackshirts are first awarded. This is the first year Bo came out and publicly stated a goal like "we need to win out".

 

This is one of the reasons I'm not going to start packing my bags for Indy just yet. It seems that after a big win, we come out flat or trip on our newly-inflated ego as a team.

 

But, as stated, this is the first time where Bo made a stated, public goal. Perhaps Bo is using the public to hold his team accountable (to a small degree)?

I think maybe he just got caught up in the moment when he said it, but it does put his team in a position where they have to cash the check his mouth wrote. Whether it was intentional or not, I'm not sure.

Caught up in the moment or just telling the truth? Because they did and still do need to win out to win the conference. So why would that cause a stir in the team? I'm sure these players already deal with plenty of outside pressure just being a D1 football at a school like NU, so I doubt a little truth from Bo to the media will faze them.

Really good stuff being played in here the last few days. But really Redwine, Hush Hush?

We all know Straight Up is the only way to go!

Nebraska can control the line of scrimmage in that game. Run the ball all game long and it should be a Husker win. Also Colter didn't play much QB vs. Penn St. If they stick with their other guy(don't remember his name) it will be a big help for us.

I can see them moving Colter back to the primary QB just for this game.

 

We will need to completely revamp what we have done so far this season on D. Burn redshirts, get Rose, Santos and Alfalva on the field. Use SJB in the Super D role in 2003 as an OLB to rush and disrupt every play. Maybe even move Stafford up in that role. Get Valentine, Curry and Peat (if in game shape) on the line. Make E Martin an every play DE. Announce Captains for the remainder of the year. Practice full pads, 1's vs 1's until KO. Blitz every down. Even on 2nd and 1. Who cares. Run.

 

Have AA take a knee if the ball goes into the end zone. I have no idea WTH happened to our special teams. Punt out of bounds.

 

Run, run, run. Do not put Martinez in a position that requires his arm to get us out of trouble. If we do throw, do it on first down. I am also sure that they have salivated over the ease of jumping our out routes. How about something as simple as a little out and up route. They will bite and we get 6. It ill also stop them from jumping the route again. Bring back the RB screen Cally and Lucky were masters of this. Use the bubble screen. We get killed by everyone else using it. We need to start. Do what ever it takes, screens, throw back pass, end around, reverses etc to get the ball in the hands of JT and KB in space. I would love to see Enunwa on an end around with the ball and a head full of steam. The collisions would be epic. Give the ball to Cross in meaningful time. Not just the last friggin play of the game. The dude is huge. He is a freight train. Have him, AA and Janovich back there (assuming Rex is still out). Beat them into submission. Power football with play action passes. Run, Run, Run.

 

Put Paps in the box with Joseph. Let him see the whole field. No reason to stand right next to Bo. Someone else can send in plays. One of the beat writers also wrote, make one mistake, sit a play, 2 sit the series etc.... make guys realize you screw up, you sit.

 

Go back to the mantra of the SEALs that I continue to hear so much about from working out with our guys. Dig deep, don't quit on yourself or on your team.

 

Play with passion and fire. Play angry. Play mad. get some. Play a complete four quarters. If they can't stop it, don't.

Then we can start a new religion, buy ten Ferraris, have a poly-amorous marriage with Jessica Beal and Kate Upton, become a world famous rock/movie star, solve the global gas crisis, all before winning the Nobel Prize in the category of Awesome.

Yep, sounds plausible!

Wth is this?

Nice! Reminds me of Dazed and Confused, so does this one.

If #10 T-Mart looks like he's skipping rocks on a pond, then what does #80 Danny O'Brien look like? Or unranked Joel Stave?

 

Idk, Curly shows some decent mechanics there. A little work on his release and he would have nailed W!

NU- 35

aSu- 27

Pass- 201

Rush- 256

They were exposed big time by N. Iowa, I don't blame him for not wanting him to share that tape.

 

In this day and age, I find it hard to believe Oregon State coaches would have a difficult time coming across the game film.

Of course they won't have trouble finding the tape. That's why it makes Bielema and Co look like petty jackasses.

I'm all about the swirl!

Well that sucks, I got an email that our league was dropped because we didn't have 6 teams. Maybe we could try again, but with an autodraft? I think more would have played, but trying to get everyone together for the live draft was problematic.

Yeah, sorry about that fellas. The draft was on short notice. I'm usually set up for fantasy season around June but I've been working like a dog lately.

An auto draft league is a good idea. And if you're up for it there is a public league already created with a draft on the 29th that has 6 of 10 teams. Added bonus, one has the team name NU Bugeaters. I'll prob sign up for that one tonight.

League: Everyone Plays

Description: All conferences!

Draft : Automated 8/29/12
