Scarlet Overkill

Yes, it is an excruciatingly slow time of year. So slow that I'm looking at the schedules of the near and distant future. The pre-CU "bye week" is absent from 2009 - 2012, and 2015. When was the last time the Huskers didn't have a week off before the last game?

Count me as glad - I don't know what it is, but they always seem to start flat after a week off. Though, if they are going to do that, my hope would be to move the game to Saturday so they get the full week to prepare (and of course so that I don't have to burn a vacation day to see them).

2009 - KState 11/21, then at CU 11/27 or 11/28

2010 - at A&m 11/20, then CU 11/26 or 11/27

2011 - A&M 11/19, then at CU 11/25 or 11/26

2012 - at KState 11/17, then CU 11/23 or 11/24

2013, 2014 - both years' schedules have the extra week off listed

2015 - back to having no week off (A&M 11/21, followed by at CU 11/27 or 11/28)

I can't wait til after the buzzer sounds when Bo runs down on the court and spears Aldrich at half court

 

...then run for his life as a hungry Jaba-the-hut dressed in a blue sweatervest runs(rolls) after him

Yeah, about that. Why was Bo there? It's got some of the Kansas fans a little perturbed, since they had some recruits visiting and attending the game. I don't think it was very appropriate for Bo to be there and just hope he didn't do anything stupid. I know I wouldn't take too kindly if the shoe was on the other foot.

I vote for TOOL. I had thankfully forgotten all about him until I read this thread. He gave it his best shot, it wasn't good enough. So, instead of just manning up and moving on, whine and cry about the *FANS*. Yeah, anything to divert attention away from the real problem.

I would have had a great deal more tolerance for ineptitude from the last coaching staff if any one of them had any kind of accountability for their actions -- or lack thereof. But not once did I see it out of any of them. Goodbye and good riddance. Best of luck in the big televen, Kevin.

Yeah, it's very low. But, seriously I don't blame the guy. I'm under the impression that Snyder wants full control of the offense anyway, so most likely whoever their OC is will be in title only. Sound familiar?

Would I want to stay in Manhattan, KS, working for a control freak who won't even let me do my job, or go work in California for someone who actually trusts me to do what I was hired to do?

I think we have a "by committee" thing on ST, don't we?

Prince was entertaining. I miss him already. If I could bring myself to follow any ACC team (other than Clemson, since their fans are awesome), I'd keep an eye on UVA's special teams. But oh well, I don't think I'll miss anything.

Honestly, I was a little skeptical of Coach Brown being on staff at first, but with every passing quote or feature done on him, I gain a new all time high level of respect for the guy.

My favorite Ron Brown quote so far has been (paraphrased), "We don't run out of bounds at Nebraska". I love the toughness coming back to this team, and Coach Brown is a big part of that.

Apply within.

Just saw K-State's OC took a job at Cal. Can you blame the guy?

Ok, I am going to admit that I couldn't watch that moment in time while it was happening. It was cowardly of me, I admit. Especially since I normally watch every minute of every game, even the blowouts. I really figured the game was pretty much over and that CU would milk the clock for the "W", so I got up to feed the animals. DVRs are a Godsend, though, since I'm now able to relive the moment over and over!

But, it illustrates exactly why I usually watch every minute of most every game. Anything can happen at any time of any game. Even when the game is out of reach, I watch to see that they finish and don't roll over.

I must watch the game again tonight (or maybe just the 2nd half) - thanks for the awesome clip!

Clemson D was the best we faced all year, IMO. I didn't see anyone else we faced stuff us for so many no gains or negative yards. If they did, I might have blocked it out.

The way Clemson Defense was playing had KState fans licking their chops because the DC is now on their payroll. Some of the realistic fans realize they don't have a fraction of the talent Clemson does on D, though, but it is making them more hopeful.

Can I use this thread to whine about CBS in general? Like a dumb a$$, I didn't set my DVR correctly for this game. Since we get the CBS College sports channel, I was hoping for a replay, since usually they are pretty good about that sort of thing. I just checked listings and they have NINE replays of the craptastic 3-0 Sun Bowl in the next 7 days, and none of the Gator Bowl.

 

 

i cant figure this out for the life of me either...there must be some reason, right? something with contractual obligations or something? because i would think they would rather replay a 26-21 emotional roller coaster than a 3-0 yawner. i raise my kilt to cbs.

Well, if Pitt had won, I would have started a conspiracy theory involving SP.

I like Clemson fans, I like their team, but their band got very annoying at the game. Did anyone notice that?

All bands have a tendency to be annoying to opposing fans, but I have my doubts it was anywhere near the annoying factor of BOOMER SOONER.

My vision of Hell features the Sooner band, and that is enough of a reason for me to straighten up and fly right.

My condolences. That hurts, that really hurts. It's almost like missing the lottery by one number, or playing the same numbers daily except for the day it wins.

"21-10 - the rout is on" -- Good one.

Guess the Utes got tired of hearing how they don't belong and how they'd be demolished by 'Bama.

The winner of this game is who comes out angrier/hungrier.

Change the logo and it pretty much sums it up:

I love LSUFreek, but this one is a bit over the top. Thanks for sharing nonetheless.

Thank you, Syracuse, for beating Notre Dame so that we Huskers could take part in the Gator Bowl with fine Clemson fans against a very good Clemson team on the rise.

Tech is being outplayed and out-coached in every single solitary aspect. Tech looks like a completely below average team, and Ole Miss looks like that team that beat Florida.

I too forgot about it completely until right about the start of 2nd half. For some reason I thought it was on later tonight.

Now score is 48-28 with 4:40 to go.

I hope Texas and OU give the South and Big 12 a better showing than this.

And, as they are now advertising more, PS3 has ability to rent movies. I got the PS3 about a year ago for it's blu ray capabilities, and couldn't be happier. It's so versatile. Even if you only stick to your xbox for games, it is still a better option to have than a stand alone blu ray player.

If Tech doesn't pull their heads out of their bums, the south will be 0-2. They are stinking up the cotton bowl something fierce, now losing 38-21.

Just terrible. Losing 21-24 at the half, Harrel comes out and throws a pick six, followed up by a 3 and out. Ole Miss took the punt down inside the 10. Could soon be 38-24 in favor of the Rebels. C'mon Raiders, grow a pair and play like you want to be there!

EDIT: dodged a HUGE bullet there. D finally stiffened, got a sack, forced a FG attempt (missed!).

Score currently still 31-21.

Clemson fans = total class act. You have made many of us Clemson fans because you represent your team and university so well.

I ask that you don't go away now that the bowl game is over. Please?

It is a game that could have gone either way - both teams' defense played lights out, and both teams should be proud of the effort. I think this game showed that both teams found the right guy to lead them, and the future looks much brighter for both. I seriously think you'll contend for the ACC next year. We're counting on you!

He didn't say anything to the Huskers, but to the Clemson players instead. He threatened to punch any CU guy who came within 10 feet of him during any given play. Clemson was literally too scared to win.

If I were them I would have gone vertical earlier.... it was there. They scored on a couple of big pass plays.

Sker's pass D has been pretty mediocre most of the year, and run defense pretty stout. I'm not sure why they called the plays they did, just glad they did it.

darn it - a couple of you replied to my post and didn't even comment on my poor grammar. You people are slipping. (I used their versus there, which is actually a pet peeve of mine, and has now been edited!)
