  1. My DVR is usually full from my son's 37 recordings of Naruto and Star Wars, the cartoon.
  2. That sucks. I will have a beer for you Fri afternoon.. Right on! Thanks dawg!!!! OK, I'll have one for you also. Maybe we can get you loopy if we all chip in and have a drink for you!
  3. Joe is a class act that the younger players can learn from. He sets a good example of what it will take to succeed in the new offensive system. Thanks Joe!!
  4. Is it time to say goodbye to him? Not a good way to start your Husker career.
  5. Wow, that is a big cake! Looks like enough cake for everyone! GBR!!
  6. So true. That needs to be a huge focus during the off season. GBR!! All they are missing are the athletes. Let's hope all the redshirts will make a difference next year.
  7. No he's a wizard with a scar on his forehead.
  8. Man, that is a lot of money. Too bad the country is in a recession. Spending $1+ million a year in some of these college towns must be hard work.
  9. well because it has been a point of discussion on this board since Washington became open. This is the only board i am a member of. and because people like me...there We have to like him now???
  10. offense was not nebraska's problem: it was the porous 'slap and tickle' big 10 defense that kevin cosgrove installed that got callahan fired. Offense was and still might be the problem. Name a top 25 team that this offense has gone up against and proven that it is good? (Try not to name teams where the other team was so far ahead that it didn't matter if Nu scored. IE Oklahoma, Missery last two years, Oklahoma St) Other then Texas Tech Nebraska is in the same boat Kansas was last year where they only beat bad teams and were beaten by the only good team they played (Missery) Why some of those losses were because of defense, some were also caused by turnovers Virginia Tech, Texas Tech, Colorado, Oklahoma, and on and on and on. Name a top 25 team that didnt have better athletes than us. Under BC with his WCO, you NEED elite athletes for it to work well. USC and Mich(until this dreadful year) ran versions of the WCO and scored on everyone. Its the NFL mentality. But this year's offense(especially post MU) is not a WCO. And while we didnt win the VT or TT, we were in it till the end. Not every game(especially vs better teams) are you going to score 35+, regardless of the offense, thats just football. I think the way the offense has controlled time of possession since the Missery game says a lot about the offense. Look what they did to the mighty TT offense by keeping them off the field. Isn't the offense the part that usually lags behind the defense when a team is rebuilding?
  11. Drunken Observations carry more weight!!!
  12. That would be just the extra incentive the biffs would need to beat us.
  13. Unfortunate, but true. I would rather the south team win this game then go on and win the nat'l champ for the big12.
  14. A man inherited over one billion dollars from a long lost uncle who happened to be an oil baron. The man, thrilled at his good fortune, asked his young son what he wanted. He told his child that money was no object. The boy said he wanted a Mickey Mouse outfit. So the man bought him the University of Colorado.
  15. Q: What is the most common phrase used by a former Colorado football player? A: Would you like fries with that? Q: How do you keep a Colorado football player out of your yard? A: Put up a goalpost.
  16. If you were a business making money, you wouldn't look for better ways to make more money? I sure would. I would be looking at other models and see how they work. March Madness looks to be doing very well, and doesn't seem to hurt the regular season. So is the College World Series, for a sport that has a very small following in college. I think removing the CWS would make that following even smaller. Like I said, you have to keep teams motivated to stay in the top 4 or top 8 to make the regular season meaningful. One loss, and you maybe you don't get a bye, or a home game. And as far as the championship goes, there really are only a few meaningful games out there right now. TT at OU, the Big 12 championship game, and the SEC championship game. Certainly any Big East, Big 10, ACC or Pac 10 game that has meaning only to fill the remaining BCS games would have a lot more meaning if it meant getting a spot in a playoff. How would a playoff make the NU-CU game any less meaningful? And there are plenty of other games around the country that will have a strong following, even though teams have no chance for a bowl, or are positioning for a minor bowl. I don't see how a playoff would change that. Based on the new ESPN/BCS deal, I think they did figure out how to make more $$. A lot more. Baseball and basketball teams play what, 200 games a year? Do fans even remember what team won in the first half of the season? These sports have to have playoffs since the seasons are so dang long. If we had a playoff system now, would the TT/OU game even matter that much? Would not both teams get into the playoff with a loss? Yes, I know they are also playing for the South Championship, but this is just an example. Why does football have to follow in the footsteps of the other sports? The uniqueness is something they would lose.
