i know you will think im a liar, but im deadly honest. its the first one, Tennessee Chattanooga. after that, it will be the next one. Ive got a couple friends from there, and ive been on their very limited boards...but still. the next one is always the most exciting for me when it comes to home games. what time am i leaving home, what am i bringing, which tailgates am i hitting, what am i doing afterwards....eek! im like a midwife waiting for the water to break. I may plan out tickets for other games, but I am honest to god most excited about that first home game right now. Ohio State is the most intriguing game, for sure. But not the most exciting. What is the offense gonna look like? The back seven on the defense? we going big or still flying? I know they arent coming out showing everything, but a lot is to be learned from it.

oh sh#t.... 10 Yard Fight! played it tonight at a buddies. totally forgot about it. saw a NES in his electronic stack (which was quite impressive) and that was the game in it. that was a great game. Great Link I found when searching for a 10 yard Fight Link

Good stuff man. I couldn't possibly compare to that. You're the man! thats what she said!

im still behind Doc, although im ducking these days and covering my face when i see the flash go off. 68 or whatever (how many is it now, i truly cant keep track) basketball teams make the ncaa tourney... out of 347 70 football teams make bowl games... out of 120. this immediately leads me to believe nebraska fans have an unnatural slant towards expecting success out of their basketball team...as we are without a doubt a football school. i enjoyed the mini-week of ncaa hype provided by a win over texas...which prior to there was absolutely no talk of making the tourney. thats where you have to find your victories...that chance, like hundred of other mediocre basketball programs do. doc and the boys blew it, sure...but some of you act surprised that a team that was below .500 in league play before texas was somehow expected to finish out the last games at 1.000 or .750 after, or else, are insane. calling for his head is far from the answer.

outstanding. good on ya. and i eagerly await vince from have a cow as well.

buying up every avenue of away game season tickets i can lay my fingers on. that includes family based season tickets that have been around since before the sellout streak, and others. crying about tuition wont get you far in my book. sorry. this year is going to be nuts. get on it, or get off it.

not trying to discount your work nexus, because i unquestionably click on your threads... but i swear i saw this somewhere else. i just cant link it. it might have even been here, awhile back. who knows. either way, good on ya, its better BS to talk around a beer than most of the other garbage going on around this board.

bring a hoody and jeans. other than that, throw your man card on the field. seriously, some of us do happen to get out of the state, believe it or not. and it does happens to top 100 here at times, and it does freeze in points in cali. so your bogarting does nothing other than make you look like, well...the tulips will be blooming soon. i imagine youve experienced colder temps than you will in Neb on your trip.

did either one of you ever wear pads? or set foot on a football field? one of thousands over time this isnt something new. lazy fans can search Chad Johnson and his combine results. true fans will know that he is OchoCinco. is it an argument to the thread title? no. but it puts it in perspective. john q public can run as fast as they want. Maybe X is faster than Y. But on what does that actually matter? Jerry Rice. Niles Paul ran a faster forty. EDIT: hey, looks like SI embeds their stories when you C&P even a bit of them. I think i like that.

Athletes with good speed do no hit MaxV(Top Speed) for atleast 30 meters (33 Yards). Elite are even out to 40-50 meters. I am a track coach. well, i guess youre the expert then. good thing every football play goes about 33 yards then, huh? so all those fast people can use their max, top end speed.

The only thing Hispanic about Martinez is his last name. It’s been documented in several articles. He’s no more Hispanic than Tom Osborne. This argument has always been puzzling for me. Pads slow some down, but not others? Some are blazers on the track, but are slow the minute they hit field turf? There are definitely different types of speed. The three fundamental are acceleration, max & endurance. With the exception of a real long run, it’s unlikely that you are ever doing anything other than acceleration. It takes 40 - 50 yards to reach top end. It just reminds me of all the talk back in the day when it was stuff like University of XYZ had the grounds keeper leave the grass tall to slow down the other team. Don’t they have to play on the same field? Wouldn’t it slow down both teams? the pads thing shouldnt be that puzzling. extra material, equipment, etc, affects some more than others. if it didnt, tell me why the NFL is considering requiring all players to wear standardized knee and thigh pads again? why would guys risk injury to begin with to not have them in? because it effects performance, and not equally. why is lighter, cutting edge equipment prized? why do some people use a 13 pound bowling ball, and some use a 16 pounder? why doesnt every 'fastest man' become a paid professional football deep threat? gold medal 100 yard sprinters should be able to put on pads, run by everyone, and catch td's all day long by your theory. why have hundreds of guys that run the fastest times at combines in shirts and shorts consistently disappoint with their on field speed? why does the term "game speed" or its variables exist? and it does not take 40-50 yards to reach top end unless you are a sports car. come on, man...120 feet to reach top speed? even if youre a fat ass, after 20-30 feet or so youre as fast as your ever going to be. elite athletes are at top speed in 3-5 steps. dont believe me? ask a track coach.

i guess cody green's flaming rockets to infinity and beyond would be more acceptable zoogs. the kid displays touch like a can compactor. i suppose we shall find out.

That's awesome! Wood River? I scooted down to watch the finals, Skutt's Coach, Brad Hildebrandt, works with my Pops. I did a lot of wrasslin with him and his camps growing up. That 140 pound match with the Central City kid to seal the end of the reign was awesome. My uncle-by-law or whatever you call it (my Pops brother is married to his wifes sister) Troy Ruffner coaches Conestoga, they had 6 qualifiers in class C but they didnt do much. He's a former state champ.

Considering the Bob doesn't even seat that many... youre just kind of a general dick, are you not?

This is a bit of a myth and it needs to stop. I can't find the post now, but I compared the total and scoring defenses of our first four conference opponents, where we posted great big offensive numbers, vs the total and scoring defenses of our final four conference opponents, where we struggled. The offensive numbers dropped dramatically, but so did the defensive numbers. We scored 31 on the #6 scoring defense in the nation (Missouri). Our biggest struggle came against the #6 total defense in the nation (Texas). We weren't suddenly exposed by better defenses later on, we just lost our two best quarterbacks to injury - and tried to play one of them anyway. you'd think such a genius would end up with something more than a low level qb coaching job, when he had an entire athletic dept behind him trying to find a position...come one 2010 was far, far from the 'worst possible' offense. You can flush all those statistics down the toilet as far as I'm concerned. Go back and watch the Holiday Bowl where we put up a single TD against Washington and our best play was a freaking punt and tell me the offense can get worse than that. The one game all year where Beck was responsible for the offensive preparation, as well as the QBs work? so what was watson doing on the staff? blame it all you want, twist it, whatever. but in the end, watson ends up the fool...and hes gone., say your little parade is the actual truth...if watson was such a genius, then why does he have nothing to do with it? he is exempt when things go bad? he just happens to be the guy that leaves the staff? HE f'ing BLOWS! its fact, everywhere he has been has been happy to be rid of him. he is so great that he ends up a qb coach at louisville... the guy has never been a winner. that is a mother f'ing fact zoogies. Bo is. get over it.

What you just described is what a TON of teams resumes look like from just conference games ALONE. The RPI had the best chance to rise tonight. A Mizzou win helps it, but not near as much. Wins over ISU and CU on the road even are not impressive. SOS of 80 and and RPI hoovering around 65 will NOT get you in. Personally they had to win out to be able to win one game in the tourney and get in. Nebraska must win the tourney. We don't have to win the tourney to get in, that's ridiculous. what do we have to do then? we were on the second four outsiders with the win over texas...now we lost to k state, who is going above us in the standings, and was already considered a lock in the tourney because of their RPI. the big 12 is looked at as being down...the top four are going to make it, and perhaps 1 or 2 that make a serious run in the tourney. K state showed themselves as being that hot team, that can finish. We were not even in the conversation until the texas win, now we sit at 6-7. We had to be the hot team, and we obviously are not. Baylor and the like will make it in before us. We cant beat the team we should, at home, to make our run? Come on. We will be lucky to end up with a .500 conference record, exactly as years past...that means we deserve the tourney in a down big 12?

im not arguing with you, walksalone. im just happy things are finally, completely under Bo's control. Now we get to see, truly. Im not one to believe for a second that if Bo had the choice, he would have kept any of that staff around when he first walked through the doors. He is too hard headed. There were other factors involved. He has more than proved himself being capable as a head coach, although there have been bumps along the way. He finally has his total staff, his choices, and we are kickstarting it in the new Big 10. Im stoked.

the defense was completely whitewashed. how did that work out? we dont have to score 40 plus a game. we have to score when it matters...and that DID NOT HAPPEN OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. maybe it wont with beck, but it seems like Beck and Bo obviously get along, which Watson and BO never did. It cant be any worse.

how much rougher can it get? Losing games because your offense cant put up a TD when you have a great defense and easily the best punter and kicker of all time behind you? the last one isnt just opinion, its mothertruckin fact.

damn, that bastard is fast.
