Scarlet Overkill

Oh, I agree whole heartedly with you that he wasn't ready then. The time spent with two other high-caliber college teams only served to help him. We just had to endure some rough times while he was getting more experience and different vantage/view points.

Who?

He did not embarrass us ALL, maybe just you. I was quite proud how he rallied the team in the face of adversity. Some of us even liked the fire. If you watched bowl games last year with interim head coaches (there were a lot), one, maybe two, interim coaches got that "W" -- that made me appreciate what he did in 2003 all the more.

Besides, he couldn't have embarrassed everyone because I do believe there were chants from Nebraska fans during and after the game in favor of hiring him.

On my wish list is better tackling. That is all.

Polls are over-rated unless we are talking about the top 10 IMO. Granted its nice to say that we are "ranked" but I don't think it matters. Teams that are ranked anywhere from 15ish-30ish are all on the same level, for the most part, just like the top 5 or so are. Its all opinion based.

Absolutely positively correct about after #10 it goes downhill and very subject from there on out. If we are ranked, good, but I wouldn't bet on it. I personally don't need it to happen to get my validation about this team, though.

Daayaam...

Man it felt like the Blackshirts were finally back. Super job, Defense! Even after the offense put the team behind the 8-ball, it was friggen awesome to watch the defense keep them in the game while the offense figured out a way to pull their heads out.

Props to the whole team on this one -- it was definitely a team effort today.

And props go to Clemson's defense. Those guys were completely sick and unreal. You guys find a bit of offense and you'll be ACC champs and Orange Bowl bound a year from now!

It was so obvious that he hadn't seen a minute of Nebraska football this year. I thought I heard him say something like "rout" and shook my head.

I was also particularly intrigued by his comment regarding the Pelini's -- Carl is the more fired up one where Bo is more laid back, or something to that effect. That's when it was obvious he'd never watched Bo coach.

Anyway, call bias and whatever else you want to -- I'm just happy it wasn't an ABC/ESPN crew calling it. It was actually a refreshing change since I hadn't built up such a strong dislike like some of you have. Even happier that the Huskers proved them wrong on almost all counts.

Maybe he didn't want another set of BOOOOO's in Lincoln next year. I'll miss his ability to make the Blackshirts look like all conference during their worst years.

Who knows, though - with proper coaching he might actually amount to something more than a clipboard holder. (Hard to say that with a straight face, but could be true.)

Kudos for the best nickname ever. And, I really think he WILL be used in some offensive formations -- hopefully. It seems he was mostly used in the red zone (so if we see him in there, chances are good we're in good scoring position!!!)

I direct you all to the thread entitled "Chase Daniel" in the Woodshed.

password protected? Geez, what are there military secrets in there? Anyway, would love to see it but I guess I haven't been around long enough to get in.

Shut the 'F' up Pinkel, Daniel!

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but YEAH, STFU! Thank God it was brief. Daniel had no business in front of the camera after he stunk it up so badly.

Nice showing by the most talented MU team ever.

Did you see booger "hugging" that coach from behind?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

No.... freaking .... way.

It looks like the fighting Boogers might just pull this one out after all. Of course if they win, it will be in spite of Boog, not because of him.

That's why I want them to win by 1 point. Big 12 gets the win, but since MU was so highly favored, it's still an embarrassment of sorts to them personally.

 

I seen this in a forum and it made me crack up.

 

Crap, I'm gonna miss him. Who are we going to make fun of when Boog's gone?

 

 

There will always be Corky at Colorado.

Yeah, but we'll have to work a little harder for Corky. Boog makes it so easy.

C'mon BOOGER, you can do better than that!

that plays right into the hands of my "MU wins by 1 point" deal.

That worked out well for them!

I really expected MU to dominate this game, but they look rather pathetic other than the punt return. I wonder if their OC is focused on his upcoming job. Or is he even there now?

I missed the beginning of the game - who gets it to start the 2nd half?

weren't you the one who said the pooching stunk? That's why they were doing it.

My preference:

 

For the Big 12, Northwestern barely loses in a horrible game by both teams because they do something stupid at the very end, not from anything that Mizzery does to win. Booger can't finish game because on one play he goes so deep that his finger gets stuck in his sinus cavity.

that's exactly what I was JUST thinking (well, minus the nose thing). I want a 1 point win for Missouri in a scare.
