  1. Son of a... Time for Newby, Westie, and maybe Wilbon to step up!!
  2. Welcome J. D. !! Good prospect, plus we keep him from conference foes... Win Win.
  3. It's funny, after being to three Wisconsin games I still get a little triggered reading the words jet-sweep. I am with you on that one. I still have Indy flashbacks.
  4. So, the wait continues for a stud WR (or a WR for that matter) in this class. Who wants to be first? Anyone? This young man would have looked good in the old Scarlet and Cream on Saturdays.
  5. I really like the sound of this... now let's see it on the field!!
  6. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
  7. Welcome to the family!! So glad to beat out Satan and Miami!! Awesome response from Devine... the future is bright at DONU as far as the RB position is concerned.
  8. I will second this motion. I really need a new wallpaper. pretty please?
  9. Yes, the playoff poll is the only one that matters, but this poll, the media poll, and the entire media frenzy does have an impact on the opinions of the playoff poll members. It's only human nature to think that TEAM A beating a #5 ranked TEAM B is a big win for TEAM A. Yea I think ColoradoHusk is right about that. Where these teams start the season keeps them toward the top of the lists and on the tip of peoples tongues for the majority of the season. Even when they haven't played anyone or done anything. Then, when/if a loss does come, they never fall very far regardless of how well a Pre Season unranked team has done. There shouldn't be any rating until about week 8. When teams have played a bit of their conference schedule and there's enough film and on paper to truly see what you've got in a football team. How the hell should anybody be ranked based on how good we "think" they "might" be? It's always been done this way and it's dumb. It's all a big hype machine and usually a lot of the hype surrounds the SEC. Last year was a great example. Ranking teams before a game has been played is bad... but ranking teams before they even practice one time... COME ON!! They could at least wait a little closer to the season, jiminy christmas. It's the coaches poll. They don't watch other teams practice, their opinion wouldn't change if it was 3 weeks ago compared to a week before the season. They are focused on themselves right now. I wasn't suggesting that the coaches would watch practice. I was thinking more along the lines of a team being decimated by injuries, departures, dismissals, etc. What's the rush? I would personally like to see the first poll after about week 4 and the end of non-conference play (end of non-conference play for everyone except for the SEC of course, they always save a FCS game for November).

  11. They look a little different in normal lighting... http://imgur.com/a/pKKBo I somewhat liked them at first, but now I am all N! The shoes were my major concern, however, it appears they will play off the number outline nicely.
  12. Overall I like the new uniforms. Not a fan of the numbering style or white cleats. IMO, they would have been outstanding if the numbers were solid (no duct tape outline or dividing of the numbers) and the cleats were red.
  13. Agree. Please be good this year... fingers crossed.
  14. Speed Kills! This one is a burner! Welcome DiCaprio!!
  15. Thanks for sharing. That was awesome to see!! Welcome to Husker Nation JoJo!!
  16. "Y'all gon' make me lose my mind up in here, up in here"... Seriously, Freakin Awesome!! .. Welcome JoJo!!
  17. This is a Nice big piece of the puzzle for this D class!! Welcome Mr. Alexander!!
  18. Welcome AT! I like what I saw on his film (which was mostly take the hand-off and run right). What I didn't see was him switch the ball to his left hand, catch the ball, or block a linebacker. I have to trust that HCMR and Coach Davis have done their homework. I will say this, the young man certainly has the size for a pro style offense.
  19. YES! ... YES! ... YES! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJbmB9k2Y88
  20. Welcome Terry WilsoN!! I am super pumped about this commit. Kid is a stud athlete... can never have too many of those on a team!
  21. "he has never won a championship at any level"... unless you count his 2 Grey Cups in the CFL? I say 9-3 this year with a trip to Indy; and perennial West contenders with occasional Titles.
  22. I love, love, love this offer! Super athlete with a great first step, imo.
