Gotta give it to Bo for finally helping Nebraska be a second half comeback team

As another poster said, you do have to start somewhere, but I still think he's too young/inexperienced. I think another poster mentioned that the 2008 season was his first season as a full time coach. If he goes to USF, I think he is hindering his career. Nothing wrong with going there or some other place a few years down the road, but he followed Pelini to Nebraska to do a job, and I don't think leaving is going to help finish the job he helped start.

The only bad thing is no one knows what this kid may or may not be capable of, it would suck to see him on the other sideline tearing NU up. I am sure he will land somewhere, good luck to whatever he does and leave NU behind. Closed chapter.... I actually kinda hope this kid goes to another Big 12 school. The last QB to do that was Josh Freeman, and we made him look like an idiot every year he played against us.

Well, in defense of the kid, I'd be pretty damn jittery if I had limited playing time and I was being thrown into games in front of thousands of people. Just saying I lol'd.

One mentality I go by, is if a guy doesn't want to be with NU, then he wouldn't have been good for our program anyways, so it's no big loss in my eyes. Let him go somewhere/do something else that he wants to because we need guys who want to be a Husker through and through.

not to mention very motivational guess i'll have to beg my buddy to convince his roomie to get his cousin to stay:-p LOL Guess it's time for the fans to start recruiting.

Good for lucky at least. I was hoping Swift would be able to push lower 4.6 upper 4.5 but oh well.

Iowa? Right. After the season they had last year, no way ISU wins. Kent State - Know nothing about them Army - I think the option is too much for ISU. K State - Has a better coach and better returning talent (even though it's not very much talent). I doubt ISU wins. Kansas - They lose a lot of seniors wtf? The return Reesing, Briscoe, and Sharp, and return more talent than almost any other Big 12 North school. This is when I realized this guy knows nothing about football. Baylor - More talent then ISU and a much better quarterback. I say Baylor wins it. Nebraska - Ahead of us in the rebuilding process? I guess they forgot our coach is in his second year and had a better season than any of Chizik's.. A&m - might be a win Ok State - ISU will get it's ass kicked. Colorado - Will kick ISU's butt Missouri - Will kick ISU's butt. This guy has to be one of the most optimistic fans I have ever seen, but his football knowledge is borderline idiotic.

IMHO, he is still going to have to convince somebody that his body isn't the injury prone glass house that it was at Nebraska. NFL teams want guys who can play through injuries and tough it out for entire seasons, and I don't think Murtha ever made it through an entire season without being out for a few games. It's good that he's got the athleticism under control, but he is going to have to show to somebody that his body is a bend but not break.

1999 finished the season ranked #2. 2001 Went to the National Championship game, and had a Heisman trophy winner. I would think those teams would be considered elite. Besides, he was talking about the program not individual teams. ouch. It's extremely annoying that people seem to feel that after 1997, Nebraska dropped off the map which is not the case. It seems like everybody forgets we actually had a NC caliber team and 4 good years following the Osborne leave. It hasn't been that long since the Huskers were still a force to be reckoned with every year..

Ya know they mentioned something about him having strong ties to this Leavitt guy, but then they mentioned his coaching career with two years at OU and then two at LSU and said nothing about the fact that he coached with Bo at both of those places and developed strong ties with him.

Could somebody find a link for it? I tried searching ESPN and usually they have some of those things on there.

Well i'm sure this is going to get moved lol but oh well. Even though they lose a d coord. they still hired one a few months ago as the assistant, but he's had a pretty good track record so I assume he will just become the head D coord.

That's pretty damn good.

I don't think it is a good idea, at all, to see him in the numbers 15 or 7. Those numbers would set unreal expectations for him given his position and people would put a lot of weight on his shoulders to perform like the two men who had those numbers before him. It wouldn't be fair to the kid unless he was 100% sure he could handle it

Once again, you don't get it. This rule isn't against celebrating, it's against TAUNTING. There's a huge difference. But what is 'taunting?' One ref might decide that a player's celebration is taunting, weather or not the player intended it that way. The point is, you are giving refs a very subjective way of removing points from the board. Maybe this rule is being put in place to protect the wee little feelings of the players and fans Honestly though, a lot of refs view penalties in different ways, even the ones we have in place, like holding. One ref might see something and be ok with it, while the other might call holding. Some of you are making it seem like it's ok if an opposing player breaks a huge one on us, stops at our goal line, turns around, grabs his crotch with one hand, pumps his fists, and back-flips into the end-zone. I know the majority of posters on here would not just simply get upset at the secondary for busting a play and would feel insulted by what the opposing player did. It would be especially insulting if he did it in our stadium. Players in the NFL get fined for taunting (and excessive celebration), and because college players don't receive fines like NFL players do, then I don't see the big problem with penalizing this. Kind of funny though, I don't remember seeing Nebraska taunt anybody or be taunted this entire year. Maybe I just missed it or maybe other conferences have a taunting problem? I dunno, if you really wanted to, you could argue Suh's high-stepping and sorta spike were taunting. Being a Husker fan, I think he was just insanely excited and pumped up, but I wouldn't be surprised if CU fans bitched about it. True, but that all happened after he had made his way into the end-zone, so I'm trying to remember if NU ever taunted somebody pre score because I don't remember seeing that happen once this entire year.

History of Missouri Football http://www.nationalchamps.net/NCAA/databas...ri_database.htm As you can see, they have never won a national championship except for a weird 11-0 season in 1960 (but it doesn't say next to it if it was a NC or not) so I'm not sure what that is all about. If somebody knows I would enjoy being enlightened.

Ribbon boards are going to be swizzeet.

Good thing I didn't go Horrifying game lol.

Our defense will be fine. The problem is pitching. flat out. Without question. We need to step up in that phase of the game if we expect to have any sort of success for the year.

agreed Nebraska just needs some offensive power and NEED TO MAKE THEIR SHOTS.

I know right, cause being a BUNNING back is hard as hell! Just busting your balls a little............. I hate you. Lol just kidding, thank you for pointing that out. I edited it just for you.

Very interesting article. The great thing about sports is that it is the one organized entity that skin color hasn't mattered in for a long time.
