    Four Reasons NU Will Fall To The Mighty Cyclones

    in Husker Football

    Posted

    You all need to put down those Dixie Cups of Kool-Aid you all are drinking from and return back to reality land. It appears most of you are suffering from a form of mass hysteria which has manifested itself in a belief that you will actually beat the Iowa State Cyclones this Saturday. I will now present to you the cold and cruel facts of why that will not be:

     

    1. Let us go back to last year, when the wheels began to come off the bus for Nebraska. As I recall (and this is for those of you who have blocked it from your minds), the season began to spin down the toilet against USC. That fact was not lost on our ingenious AD Jamie Pollard. With this game foremost in his mind, Jamie began his campaign to change the Cyclone uniforms so they looked remarkably like…yes…USC. When the Cyclones run onto the field, your defensive players will instantly begin to have flashbacks of that horrible game in 2007. Huge holes in the line will instantly form...allowing the Cyclone running game to rip off huge chucks of yardage as your defensive linemen cringe and cower. Mental warfare at it’s finest here people.

     

    2. In a game such as this, every yard will count and every penalty will hurt…but for Nebraska, it will hurt worse because you will actually be losing more yards per penalty than the equally penalized Cyclones will be. Confused? Let me explain: On, say, your average Illegal Procedure penalty, the ref will throw his flag, indicate the penalty and pick the ball up and march the offense back five yards…simple. But, how do you think the referee determines where to move the ball back from? He checks the position of the yard marker of course. Now…I know for a fact that as soon as an alert yard marker holder sees a flag fly, he can quickly and quietly move the marker up a yard or back a yard without too much notice, instantly turning a 5 yard loss into an actual 6 yard loss (or gain, depending on who has the ball). If NU has…say…10 penalties of five yards each, they could potentially lose 60 yards instead of the 50 yards you’ll see in the score sheet. Of course a down marker holder guy would have to have absolutely no morals to do something like that… <_<

     

    3. This game will be one of the infamous “Gold Out” games where all ISU fans will wear red because nobody has gold ISU gear except for the seven guys in the marketing department who secretly changed the colors of the uniforms without telling anybody and somehow got hold of some sample sweatshirts since they are the only ones to exist. These seven people will be seated strategically throughout the stands to not only inspire awe from the weak Husker fan base but also to confuse Nebraska receivers. When they look up for the ball they will see that streak of brown (they call it gold...) in the stands as the marketing people run up and down the aisle, wildly waving their arms and acting like lunatics on every pass play. The receivers will become confused as to what they are supposed to catch and the passes will sail harmlessly by them…after which Leonard Thomas will deliver a helmet-to-helmet late hit and get ejected from the game…we’re still working on this one.

     

    4. Gene Chizik has this game circled on his calendar. All year Chizik has had to listen to people talk about what a defensive genius Bo Pelini is…how Bo Pelini ran a defense that won a National Championship…blah blah, blah…Chizik’s been sitting in his office all week saying to himself…”Hey…I’m a defensive genius too. I ran a defense that won a National Championship too…Hell! If it wasn’t for ME, Pelini wouldn’t even have had a defense to run at LSU since he stole it from my Auburn defense!” The final straw may have come this morning when he opened the sports page of the Des Moines Pravda…uh…Register (total Iowa Hawkeye rag…don’t know why he reads it) and there, staring him in the face, is a ¾ page picture of Pelini and a big story about how great he is since he started his career carrying Hayden Fry’s spit cup or something at Iowa. Chizik is pissed…. :angry:

     

    There you go…four reasons why NU will be skulking away in defeat from Ames on Saturday. Hell…now that you know how utterly embarrassed you will be, I suggest that your team just stay at home and forfeit the game to us right now….

     

    Got to love Old CY he is just so torn on what RED is really the best he just cant make up his mind!

     

    Cy's week 8 prediction below.

     

    Nebraska (3-3) at Iowa State (2-4) – Ladies and gentlemen…a fight for the sole possession of the Big 12 North cellar! Loser takes all! Let’s see…two comparatively equally bad defenses against two comparatively bad running games. Well, the game is in Ames and you’ve all surely heard that the only difference between Jack Trice Stadium and a porcupine is the porcupine has 45,000 pricks on the OUTSIDE. All I can say for sure about this game is the flags will be flying as two of the most penalized teams in the league hold and illegally proceed their way to victory…

    Nebraska (4-3) over Iowa State (2-5)

    Well if I had to guess Bo is thinking that his First and Second string are still making mistakes so they need to stay out there and learn it. Now if it had been the other way around and we where up I'm sure you would have seen it like we did in the 3rd game of the year. I doubt you will see them in again unless there are more injury's to the starters and there back ups.

    interesting game plan??

    Yeah its called you must rip Boogers head off and get him out of the game just like Jason Peter said the other night on Big Red Wrap-Up the best thing for a Defense is a back up QB. Maybe they have a scheme similar to the one Charlie came up with against the Fun and Gun. But I dont think are backs can go man on man with there recievers we will see.

    Bed Red Wrap up

    So I was watching the Big Red Wrap-up last night and Jason Peter was on there talking about how if Suh had lined up on the 95 team would have been the best defensive player on the team. From what I guess he is saying that the rest of the team would have made him even better. Now I can understand that he still has room to grow as a player but until I see it I wouldnt even put him on the bench with those guys! Also if anyone else watched, is it just me or does Jason seem to still have some lingering effects of the the drugs he used? I mean the only time I had ever seen him talk before, was when he was screaming after he just ripped someones head off, but the facial exspressions and quirkyness was killing me watching him talk.

    Andre Jones arrested

    LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- A former Nebraska football player won't be prosecuted on accusations that he stole a big-screen television.

     

    Andre Jones was approved for pretrial diversion instead.

     

    Jones' lawyer says Jones had no police record and that the TV had been recovered.

     

    Lincoln police had said that Jones stole a 50-inch Pioneer Plasma TV worth about $2,800 from the basement of a home where he'd been staying.

     

    Police tracked down the TV at a pawn shop.

     

    The 25-year-old Jones played cornerback for Nebraska during the 2006 and 2007 seasons.

     

    He is a native of Fort Walton Beach, Fla. He played junior college football at Fresno City College in California.

     

    Boy did he get lucky.

    Turner Gill?

    Who's to say he won't stay at Buffalo?

     

    I could see him maybe going to somewhere in his home state (Baylor?) to retire, but I bet it would be tough to leave a program after basically building it from scratch.

     

     

    UTEP coach Mike Price was impressed by the Bulls' effort: “We have the biggest game in the history of the school coming up (against Texas next week) and, damn, I hope they are not as good as Buffalo.”

     

    I dont know about you but if I was only making 190,000 at a school and someone offered me a job at KSU or any other nationally reconized program for 900,000 I think I would jump at the chance. Its not like he cant bring all of his assistants with him if he wanted to.

    Cortney Grixby was signed by the Carolina Panthers, hopefully he'll get a shot, maybe special teams or even a return man. (Not sure about the copyright stuff, it was on the bottom of an article on nfl.com, about the panthers signing Darwin Walker.)

    Was waived by the Panthers!
