In the Deed the Glory

Just to make sure I follow, there is no evidence of this being done at all or just no evidence that it was definitely Husker fans?

I did too, the first time somebody posted it. This had to be the 6th or 7th time it has been posted.

Did this actually happen? I have heard it from CU fans, any body actually physically see it? Did what happen? Rumor has it that some Husker fans painted that on the overpass on the interstate after he died??? I don't know all the details and if it really happened.

I don't know about that, but Buck has been good in the NFL. His skill set is perfect for 3rd down and passing downs. He is a great pass protector. That is why he's been in the league so long. Good guy, good friend of mine and I have went to a couple Eagles games at GB and Chicago and I have met and talked to him. My friend played for a couple years at NU then hurt his knee. Buck is a down to earth and humble guy now, I have to say.

Incorrect, Safety has deep 1/2 in 2 deep. Marvin Sanders confirmed this. Just let it go man, you will feel better.

Good move for him. No one who ever graduated from UNL ever amounted to anything. Sincerely, Warren Buffett Who also had a degree from Wharton at UPenn- another Ivy League school. Lay off the kid, if I were in his shoes I would have done the same thing. I would take an education from Yale over UNL any day and I have a degree from UNL. Attending Yale like playing for the Huskers is a once in a lifetime thing. It's his life, let him make what he wants of it. He left the program without much controversy unlike other players that are kicked off and make a huge fuss. He has my thumbs up. Who does? Buffett doesn't. UNL for bachelor's, Columbia University for Masters.

I would think that with Texas, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State in the south and Kansas and Nebraska in the North that would put them 6th. Missouri may be better as well. Remember TTU always plays UT close. Don't judge them on that game.

I agree, when Larry got here he was hyped up as this huge hitter. I remember an article in the daily nebraskan (UNL's student newspaper) that said he liked to lay the wood and was a big hitter. Granted, he had a huge hit against ASU that knocked the ball loose and he had a big one last year against San Jose State, but he is not a consistent hitter like players in the U's secondary. Fisher needs to bulk up before he can start hitting, i'll be glad if he makes the tackle for now. this defense (and recent years' defenses) have lacked the physicality of the old blackshirts. i hope bo can bring us back to that physical dominance on defense (and offense for that matter). I agree with seeing the rare and occassional big hit. But what we don't see are the big hits multiple times in a game like we see from Miami, USC, Florida, and other big time programs. NU has the physicality to make the big hits. I simply think they lack the toughness and meanness to make them. Those big hits can, do, and will take a lot out of an opponent. It would be great to see them from NU game in and game out. I suppose you have a point here, they are few and far between. Maybe a victim of still not quite being in the right place in the system? I'm not following you. In theory, if you are in the correct spot based upon reaction in the defensive system you would have a better opportunity for a big hit because you meet the ball carrier/receiver there instead of chasing him.

Good lord, Knapp I see your point about starting threads.......

So this position coach basically drove a high school kid out of the sport because of one mistake made during an exhibition game? Sounds like a colossal di**head that shouldn't be coaching kids. Well, while his words drove the kid to quit the kid is the one who made the ultimate decision. I can see what you're saying though. Big difference between the two, one is a high school kid during an exhibition game. That is inexcusable, that coach should never be in charge of young people ever again. High school students are supposed to be built up and supported by their coaches. They are supposed to trust their coaches and believe they have their best interest at heart. This coach is a real piece of shitt. The other is a college player getting a free education, but still a kid. I guarantee you the coaches didn't treat him this same way. Sanders even took the blame for it publicly. NFL player, fine. College, maybe. High School, unacceptable. I am rather surprised that this seems odd to anyone. Did any of you play football? It's an honest question and nothing more. From my personal experience, being a di**head was a prerequisite to being a football coach. Verbal attacks were the least of my concern. We were doing a one-on-one tackling/hitting drill on one occasion between the running backs and the secondary. The running backs were getting the better of us and this same coach (Mike Davis) got upset and started grabbing us by the back of the shoulder pads and pants and throwing us at the ball carriers (he was a really big guy). He later became the head coach at another high school (Bayside HS in Palm Bay, Florida) and was there for five years. He was my secondary coach when I attended Palm Bay HS. Cheap shots, dirty hits, and late hits were the culture at practice. The upperclassmen took it out on the underclassmen (we ran varsity against JV during practice) and the coaches just turned a blind eye. You didn't complain. You just took it and continued on. The AD/head coach at Bayside HS now (Derek Smith) was a senior starting varsity center during my sophomore year at PBHS and he was one of our dirtiest players. He blindsided me with late hits until I learned that the whistle meant nothing during practice. None of my coaches were nice guys, but getting yelled at by them was the very least of my worries. I am an accredited coach (in another sport) and I've seen my share of verbal (and other) abuse. For some reason it seems to be socially acceptable for coaches to abuse kids, although I think that attitude is changing. I am not naive to the fact that some football coaches (and coaches in other sports) treat kids this way. But it's wrong. It should be completely unacceptable to abuse kids while teaching them sports. I've seen coaches exhibit behaviors that would get them arrested if they did it in some other context other than under the guise of "coaching". And believe me, football doesn't have a monopoly on abusive coaches. You see it in all sports. My oldest daughter was a gymnast and we experienced it there. Some coaches are abusive because they had coaches that were abusive so they think that's how it's done. Other coaches use the cloak of "coaching" as a way to manifest their abusive personalities. It's BS. I'm not talking about pushing kids hard or yelling at kids; sometimes that is the only way to get through to them. But you can't let it cross over the line to abuse. There are plenty of damn fine football coaches that don't cross over the line. Kids can and will make mistakes. A good coach uses mistakes as a teaching opportunity. We are teachers first. You don't learn math, spelling or history under the threat of verbal or physical abuse. And you shouldn't have to learn sports under that threat, either. People that don't understand that have no business teaching kids. "A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment." - John Wooden Fantastic

WIN! Did you do the same thing for Tommie vs. Turner? Why the obsession with Ganz or the fans that love him? Tommie=2 National Championships won, 3 played for Turner=2 National Championships played for Ganz=played hard, had a lot of heart. Rooted for the guy and loved his story. Matter of fact, he was one of my favorites on the team.....but putting him up as one of the top 5 QBs in the history of the program like many did last year soured many of us. I'm glad somebody is trying to show that Ganz is just a little above average in this offense. As far as QBs go, he is like the Mickey Joseph of the option offense. Okay, but never quite had that other level to lead us to several wins. Not his fault, but we need better to get where we all want to be. Maybe that person is Zac Lee, maybe it is Cody Green. Hell, maybe it is Tyler Gabbert. Whoever it is, they need to be talented enough that Watson can evolve this offense even further. I feel that Lee's elite arm strength can do it. Maybe Green's legs can do it, which are believed by many to be elite. Ganz didn't posses any elite athletic gifts. He just worked his a$$ off and took his chance when he got it. I respect and admire him for that, but don't make him out to be Crouch, Frost, Frazier, Taylor, Gill, Ferraggamo, or Tagge.

Yes, as most of us grew up in the state of Nebraska I would say almost all of us played at least High School football. Sorry, pal, this isn't normal behavior from a HS coach. As a coach myself and someone that is in charge of young people all day long I will tell you this guy is a worthless human being. You can yell, but it is a team game so pointing it all on one player does wonders for your unity as a team . You also have to know who can handle the yelling and who can't. Square peg, round hole idea. Also, if this information got out he would be in deep stuff. Picking up and throwing a high school student, no matter the intent, is assault of a minor. He is an idiot. So the culture is one of dirtiness, how many penalties did you guys get? How many cost you games? How many kids were seriously injured in practice? If there weren't any, you guys were lucky. As a former college athlete, I will tell you that this didn't even happen at that level. You cannot have a successful team by running a program that has no discipline.

Do you suppose that maybe Cody might have been a little nervous? I mean no real PT against a top tier opponent, only knowing a handful of plays, going against a very fast defense (much faster than him, I might add), in probably one of the 5 most intimidating places to play in all of CFB? Never mind the fact that last year at this time he was checking out the girls in their skirts in HIGH SCHOOL. Give the kid time, let him develop. Why are we so quick to ruin this kid by throwing him in too quickly. Remember, if Spano hadn't of went down Green would have probably redshirted.

I think, after watching Alabama, that their DLine is extremely slow. NU's is quicker, and I would argue just as strong. I mean, look at the size of Suh's arms. That guy shoves his G into the backfield whenever he wants. The plan, however, was to contain. As far as offensive line, I have trouble believing our group is that talented. I would say DL to NU, OL to 'Bama.

If you have watched the first two games you would know that Hagg and Asante have been laying the wood. Tough to make a big hit when the only play ran last week was a stretch that the DL made the majority of plays on. Suh almost ripped Taylor in half on the one sack. I just think you aren't catching them all.

basketball player is in the hospital. i guess we are finally becoming an elite school. I'd say you're already there in Basketball, just a guess. If I were you as a KU fan I'd be pissed, this is embarrassing. Hope there isn't a terrible fallout for basketball.

basketball player is in the hospital. 'Cuz "they" be muggin' him? WTF does that even mean?

I think I yelled NOOOOOO like on a horror movie, then I just sat their and stared for a second. I proceeded to pace the entire goal line series.

copy the address of the pic, go into your My Controls at the top, then avatar settings. Paste into the online pic section, hit update. Should have Greek Pelini staring at you by then!
