Just watching Walds' reel on rivals, and the first thing I thought was ATTACK. You know Bo & Co will want to see that kind of an attitude on saturdays. I hope he vastly exceeds the TWO stars worth of "hype" he's been given!

I do think we'll beat VA Tech, I just have a feeling! It's a home game and hopefully a night game. The crowd will be into it and the team will be pumped. This will be the first national test under Pelini.

 

Obviously winning Big 12 games carries more weight. I do think we'll win a few we probably shouldn't and more than likely lose one or two that we shouldn't.

I've said this before, we will NOT lose to VT; that game is so winnable! Pelini knows that teams offense. 48-7 LSU over VT anyone? Our strength, offense. is every bit as able to put up 30+ points on that D as Lsu last season. I'll take our "inexperienced" D over their injury riddled offense anyday.

The ONLY chance would be to change conference by-laws. And even Dr. Tom has said the powers that be at the forming of the Big 12 wanted a Texas OU rivalry. The conference won't bend to Nebraska easily. That being said, I'm all for it. I think the Univ. status is large enough (and the profits to be had large enough) to at least be considered. Espescialy with the trend towards neutral site games. Wheres our piece of that pie?

They got em talking the talk; can't wait to see them walkin the walk!

!!!!!!!!!!BLACKSHIRTS!!!!!!!!!!!

And I thought chasing chickens was only a Philly thing!

I guess I'm in the minority; but I've been wanting the old school stripes back on the sleves and the 71' NU combo on the helmets. Come on it's not like it should be permanent. For a conference opener or homecoming, it would be a great idea!

NEVER say NEVER!

I think all Mizzou fans should be required to complete courses like this before there' allowed to attend ANY major sporting event!

Regardless: you'll always be a HUSKER for life! Best of luck to you in the future.

yep, remember when the players used to say they looked forward to game day...because it would be easier than practices all week??

 

that's what Bo is talkin' bout...YOU PLAY, LIKE YOU PRACTICE!!

i suspect there will be some preseason bumps and bruises....maybe worse, but it needs to be that way...teams need to hate playing us because they will feel it well into the next week!

Yes, yes. And I've heard they only wore full pads twice before USC! Is that even possible?

Not this season. But the future looks a tad BLEEK!

But i have to believe the Univ. would send out ethanol powered grain trucks from plattesmouth to the sandhills, if that's what it will take to sell em' out!

"Pelini saw tentative defensive backs at the beginning of spring practice, too easily allowing receivers to catch the ball in front of them. But coaches preached an attacking style and players seemed to respond."

This is the kind of thing I like to hear. Let's hope it pays off for them

well, thank goodness most folks are being realists here...much higher level of play is first and foremost...more wins than losses, step 2....build to make a run 2-3 years from now...that's the ticket...anything better along the way is gravy...relax, give Bo some time now....

I agree Hunter...................whether we want to admit it or not Husker fans needed to be brought back down to earth a little bit to help with our unrealistic expectations. While it has been a painful road it has also made us more thankful for the teams from the past and made us realize that we need to be a little more realistic in the future.

I disagree; extremely high expectations can only be a good thing after your worst season in 50 yrs!

I don't belive the cupboards are bare on defense. A new attitude and scheme can swing a few more wins. And a win over VT could give us 8 or dare I say.......9 wins!

I personally love to HATE ohio state , but they should be higher. Mich has more NCs but otherwise have been owned by OSU. FSU had their run in the 90's; if that's all it takes where is BYU or Houston! Texas should be on given their performance in the Big 12 and the SWC.

No argument about #1 though!

Lucky said himself he wasn't going 100% All the time last year. If he's not ready to do that, then no school record will keep him on the field.

Only a month left! You guys want half the fans to commit suicide? DEPRESSING!

Man the commercials where as lame then as they are now!

I was here to say FFB sucks; But you should'nt knock it till you try it so, I'll give it a go.

I would say they are overly optimistic about Pitt making the NC game. No way with Stache running the team do they get to the NC game. I will eat crow if they even end up in the top 25.

National press been hyping Wannie and his terrific recruiting classes; since he started at Pitt. EA is just following suit!

Yep, top 15.

Not too bad considering last seasons' disaster. I think we'll finish in the top 15 when all is said and done.

Get out! Did the staff supply a forklift to carry it with?

I swear if the season doesn't get here soon My head is going to explode like a scarlet and cream powder keg!

Night games are great because there rare for us. Seems to me the SEC is trying to corner the night game market.

I can't tell you how many times i've been up by twoo scores late in the fourth. And miraculously my opponent becomes all-world and end the game w/ three FF's an INT and beat me by 14! First thing i'll do is create a Cody Glenn @ LB and watch out!
