Yeah, with an upside-down Lil Red as a blimp tethered to the mountain. This thread is hilarious. And a smaller callahan as well. Gotta have something for the pigeons to poop on yes, yes, I like it!!!! A statue of Cosgrove at the entrance letting everyone drive right on by.

Washington Jefferson Roosevelt Lincoln All wearing Husker helmets and throwing the bones!!!

Colin Cowherd for sure. I agree if you remove the "insert sarcasm" emoticon. I would rather listen to 3 hours of "The Herd" than 5 minutes of Jim Rome. Collin has intelligent conversations, Rome pukes out leftover Sportcenter in an "Allstar Wrestling" voice! I know, this post will NOT be a hit!!!

Wow. There must have been some maneuvering on our part to get the easier conference schedule rotation for 2013 when we play non-con Wyoming, Southern Miss, and UCLA. Can you even imagine that non-con with that conference schedule? Pretty elite strength of schedule there. Next year's non-conference schedule is Fresno State, Wyoming, and Washington... That's not exactly a walk in the park either. Next year's schedule might be the toughest we've ever had... Play the true freshman this year. We're going to need them ready to go. OK. Throughout all the QB threads I've seen Martinez referred to as a true freshman by several people. I'm not sure this post is stating that, but it made me want to comment on the other posts. If you, the poster, thinks Martinez (or T-mart, or T-magic, or Crouch Jr) is a true freshman, please remove yourself from the discussion of who the starting QB should be. If a poster cannot read a roster, how in the world can that person assess QB talent. end rant!!! Hercules...the only reason I picked your post was because "freshman" was singular, but you did have "them" as a plural. Again, not attacking your post, just the people that think Martinez is fresh from high school.

I've read/heard this over and over again. It would be fun/funny, but what I would do is bring out Ron Kellogg III (scout team player of the year) and soak up 80,000 fans saying at one moment: "whaaaaaaaaat"! Now THAT would be funny!!!!

A different angle to look at Pelini's "circus" comment: Is it possible that Green is going to get the start, but since Martinez is getting all the "unearned" hype and Lee was the starter last year, the media and fans would wonder "what the hell are they thinking?!!!" Green does not need to be beaten down by "disappointed" people two days before the game. Not naming him publicly allows him to go out and show everyone why he is the starter without the "circus" weighing on his mind for the next 72 hours. I just feel like people are casting Green to the side and assuming it will be either Lee or Martinez.

Very cool...didn't you post close to the same thing last year? I saw you added some highlights from last year's OU game. Love the story, and if you do build on to it every year, I can't wait for opening day in the Big10!!!!

Could you imagine the tongue lashing followed by beatdown that Pelini would give to the guy selling alcohol to his underaged players?!!!!

What if Taylor Martinez starts?: It means he is the best qb on the roster What if Zac Lee starts?: It means he is the best qb on the roster What if Cody Green starts?: It means he is the best qb on the roster What if Latravis Washington starts?: It means he is the best qb on the roster etc.... You guys are making this situation WAAAYYY too complicated!!

This would be a great idea, however I think it is called Greyhound.... These recruits are 16/17/18 years old. I don't think they would be able to enjoy a "party bus". Now if we would fly into their Friday night games with a "red" helicopter and pick them up at the "fifty yard line" after the game to fly them to Lincoln... Offutt Air Force Base isn't that far away....

You need a better source. Haven't we already had this thread...... Oh well, if people put up more pictures of Erin and other up and comers, I'd be more than happy to live through it again. Afterall, I have low standards and think Erin Andrews is HOT.

This expansion stuff is very entertaining. What would happen if Colorado and Utah are denied the Pac10? Would Colorado come begging back to the Big12 and bring Utah with them, or would they get stuck in the MWC or WAC? I kind felt a kinship with Colorado when Nebraska joined the Big10, but now thankfully I realized it was just pity when the state of Texas tried to edge out the Buffs in favor of Baylor.

Bell's at corner. I'm still not sure why he moved. If he's not a good blocker I naturally doubt if he's physical enough to bring down receiver that are bigger and taller than him. Not all corners are physical, in your face type guys, either. As hard as it is to believe, as that's not the type of player Bo builds his defense on, but we've got room for one or two of them. I think a perfect example would be Asante Samuel (huge Eagles fan here), a sometime atrocious tackler, very fineses guy, but he still makes big plays in the passing game. Not to compare Bell to Deion Sanders, but Deion was always thought of being a wuss when it came to tackling. That said, I think we all would be excited to have the next "Prime Time" on our roster. (huge Cowboy fan here )

Knapp, I thought the same thing at first. But after looking at game stats from random games, "total offense" is figured by adding "passing yds" and "rushing yds". "Receiving yds" although part of "passing yds" are not part of "total offense" equation. I think I'm more confused now....

I think we all need a little reinforcent from the "Husker Gods"!!!! DEAR LORD......

Screw it I can't wait..... Check the new thread, I know it's early by the situation might be in need of it.. Check the "NCAA Husker Prayer"!!!! EDIT: "In light of..." on this board

WE GET BETTER AND BETTER

Nothing to see here. (hopefully) They have to prove B Jack got preferential treatment with cash, trips, books, etc. This is the way I see it: B Jack became great friends with Blake while at UNL. (Blake was NOT part of Jackson's recruitment) When Jackson thought about going to the NFL he sought his coach/advisor on potential agents. Of course Blake would suggest Wichard (sp) whom he has known for years. The only way this could impact NU is if Blake got compensation from his agent buddy to promote Jackson while on staff at NU or if Jackson took cash in front of his NFL career. I find it hard to believe that Jackson got special treatment while Lucky did not (after all Lucky was the "superstar" recruit). I see this as a "nothing to see here" as long as Osborne, Pelini and staff don't give them an excuse to see something. The whole situation is on Blake and his relationship with an agent, thankfully, Blake was not here that long. Let's all hope B Jack did not take a payment from anyone; he might have been promised the world in the draft but at least his eligibilty would have been gone (Since he made himself elibible for the draft). My thought (and prayer) is that this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with NU outside of have a position coach with connection (friendship) with a person that makes a living off of athletes. Sounds like a great time to start the Husker Prayer......

KC, Thought I'd beat you to it! I meant this like: "you have to try that escargo, you'll love it" doesn't mean you will, but a lot of people do.

I've done plenty of bonfires, and don't mean to knock UNL too much. Figured I'd start a "lets all get hopped up on and fight kchusker party". I personally am a big fan of Raleigh and the surrounding area. NC State was small but pretty nice IMO. And IMO Chadron State has neither a beautiful campus nor much of an outdoor life. If you want to shoot things, or rope some cattle it might work for you - but that's about it. You are right though, it's all about the people you spend time with. How much time are these recruits spending w/ their friends when they visit campus? They might get paired with a couple players but that time will be very limited...and regardless they are outsiders at that point anyway. So that argument is irrelevent when trying to sell the campus to a recruit. They may very well enjoy it after being there for a while...who wouldn't it's college. But if I walked onto that campus, or drove around the neighborhood...I would not consider UNL that spectacular. It's perpetually under construction in some shape or form. You've got crap highways, train tracks, vacant buildings (almost all of O street these days). If you want to go some place nice you end up clear down on 40th...and you better not plan on getting there on a subway or a bike. Bike trails are rare, public transportation doesn't exist. Reference Wayne Lyon's questionaire (which he based on other recruit's) he gave coaches. He asked about 1) transportation, 2) diversity, 3) weather, 4) large airport/commute from said airport, 5) lodging near school, (ghetto except for cornhusker) 6) jobs, 7) neighborhood within 5 mile radius, 8) shopping We don't stack up too well against most of the BCS when it comes to a number of these items. Just my opinion. Sorry KC I didn't mean to come to your "gang up on KC party". I represented my point poorly. Chadron/Kearney are my opinions, I wasn't implying that you would like them. What I was trying to say was: Everybody has different opinions when it comes to looking at campuses whether it be transportation, architecture, layout, etc. But what everyone enjoyes is good company. The best way for a person to find good company is to find a culture one enjoys. If that person enjoys the culture that Bo Peline has instilled (hard work/business/hopefully winning) he will find Lincoln very attractive.

KCHUSKER, You would absolutely love Chadron State in Chadron NE. Tucked in the beautiful hills of NW Nebraska with a beautiful campus and great outdoor life. I spent four years in Kearney NE and loved every last minute of it! Like other posters have said, it is all about the people you spend that time with. I've had more fun in cornfields by a bonfire outside of Minden, NE than I've had at bars in downtown Madison, WI. However, I was with friends in the cornfields and my sister in Madison. Although I must say, Madison was pretty fun!

You proved in your own statement why it can be very offensive. You are correct, Hitler was real and the Holocaust/WWII did happen. If he was a cartoon or some character out of a twisted book, the comment would not be offensive. I don't recall people being murdered or being smuggled out of Austion after a football game or press conference.

Mack Brown has backed up his talk. He has won Big12 Championships, he has won a National Championship. He puts together great recruiting classes every year. He is a guy that respects the integrity and respect of Tom Osborne, whom he has known for years as a coach and administrator. His team has not been in trouble with the NCAA. To me, that is backing up is talk. When you are as good as Texas has been under Mack Brown, you can talk. But yet he remains respectful to NU and has good things to say about our team and coaches. His talk is definately not cheap!

So what, Hitler had some great things to say about the U.S. before 1941. Talk is cheap and I prefer to judge a man by his actions. So far I'm not real impressed with Texas or Mac Brown's. WOW!!! Did someone just make a comparison between Hitler and the Nazi Regime to Mack Brown and the Longhorns?! just....WOW!!!! edit: Mods, If I get banned for personal attacks, am I still allowed to browse but not contribute? He wasn't comparing Mack Brown to Hitler he was just using Hitler as an example of how talk is cheap. Examples for talk is cheap: Terrell Owens (you know the history) Pac-Man Jones (telling Goodell that he is changing the morning after he was at a strip club) GW Bush (declaring victory, but we are still there) B. Obama ("I'll fix everything"; it's still broke) Dan Hawkins ("10 wins", need I say more) Pederson ("I refuse to let NU slide into mediocrity") B Callahan (I'm a great coach in all areas) Do I need to keep going? Comparing someone to Hitler, in whatever context, is disgusting. I'm pissed when people do it to our Presidents, for reasons much more important than college football. Mack Brown has backed up his talk. He has won Big12 Championships, he has won a National Championship. He puts together great recruiting classes every year. He is a guy that respects the integrity and respect of Tom Osborne, whom he has known for years as a coach and administrator. His team has not been in trouble with the NCAA.
