  1. I am probably wrong, like most of the time, but I think Bradley is only a Junior anyways... He wasn't introduced on Senior Day !!!.....even if he was hurt, he would have been introduced. Bradley, Octavian, McCeon, and Ruud...... Dillard-Moore(DE?).... we should be okay at the LB spot..
  2. Wow, I really like Frank..... I loved his loyalty to this university, but I agreed that we needed to make a change. This mistake will not change my opinion or respect for Coach Solich... We all make mistakes, and yes, some of us have been booked on similar situations.... But, I would like to ask Former or Bernard what they think of this situation. Now, I haven't had confrontations with FF or Benard, in fact, I can see their points many times, although I don't necessarily agree ...... You guys crucified BC for making a gesture and name-calling.... in my book, neither of these situations "broke a written law"... whereas Frank was hauled to the tank.... Furthermore, BC has never put innocent people in danger, as DUI/DWI does... To me, this is far worse than BC has even remotely done in Lincoln... I just wanted to know if either of you can now argue that Frank has better character than BC???? * Remember, I am not saying Frank is a bad guy.... I have done the same thing, and put innocent people in danger, and I made a mistake. I don't consider myself a bad person......
  3. Almost every site I saw was pretty consistant with Michigan vs OU in the Alamo. I did see Iowa listed as an Alamo opponent. IMO, Iowa/Michigan will represent the Big 10 IMO, OU/NU will represent Big 12
  4. Just finished checking out some of the "projection sites" and many still have 1. NU vs FSU in Champs 2. NU vs Georgia Tech in Champs 3. NU vs Florida in Independence
  5. I like those predicitons !!! IMO, they may fall very close to that. I hope that NU vs Iowa in the Alamo Bowl is exactly what we get. Iowa was pre-season #5, and just couldn't hang with the big dogs in the Big 10.... You can't base the ISU loss on Iowa's ability. Iowa and NU would be a good game, fun rivalry, and would get a fairly big turn-out in San Antonio...... I will definately be there
  6. Taylor probably would have been offensive Player, but Petersen's performance last night knocked him out.....
  7. It seems like we share a fairly close opinion on bowl match ups. I'm not sure if Iowa State will go to the Independence bowl though. They have been there 2 of the last 3 years and are about as excited to go back as Nebraska. I know that ISU can't "select" which bowl, but I think that the Independence Bowl will realize that ISU fans probably not travel well back for the 3rd time, so I see them working a deal with the Houston sending CU to Shreveport and ISU to Houston..... Once again, I heard something on tv concerning OU vs Florida in the Independence Bowl ????
  8. I am an IDIOT I forgot KU.... I see CU= Champs KU = Fort Worth
  9. Here we are on Saturday night..... 11/26 This is the way I see it..... and I am pretty smart Feel free to agree or disagree With ISU losing, this helps NU With Texas hopefully stomping CU next week, this helps NU My opinion: Texas = Rose Tech = Cotton OU = next in line....probably Alamo or Holiday Here is where it gets interesting CU would be next in pecking order, but they will probably be on a 3 game losing streak, and ahve classless fans who will not travel well after 3 losses.... NU probably ahead of them.... I think that NU and ISU would be next (not sure where MU is).....but NU beat ISU head-head and is coming off of win !!!! This would make me think that: NU = Alamo or Holiday....whichever doesn't have OU ISU = Houston MU = Independence CU = Fort Worth or Champs Am I missing anyone ? Just heard on CBS that the announcers seem to believe that it is a good possibility that OU would play Florida in Independence Bowl....... unsure where this came from, but may be true..... This obviously would open Holiday/Alamo even more for the 'skers.
  10. From reading the local papers today, it sounds to me that BC is starting to bleed Husker red.... he probably was all along, he just hadn't shown much emotion to prove it.... Everything is beginning to roll in the right direction
  11. Okay, here is my take......please feel free to disagree I would have been okay with ISU winning because the hated Buffs wouldn't get the North trophy..... BUT 1. Being from Iowa, I think it is funny as hell that ISU has pissed it down their legs 2 yrs in a row... Still not ready for "big time" clones 2. I am going to love seeing CU get HAMMERED in the Championship game, thus giving them a 3 game losing streak heading into bowl selection. 3. From reading the papers, I believe that an ISU loss actually helps NU in the bowl pecking order.... if I am right .... and who knows..... I see it like this Texas = rose Tech = Cotton OU = Alamo / Holiday CU would be 4th by record, but with a 3 game losing streak, classless fans, and the fact that NU just throttled them at home, would make me believe that CU would fall below NU NU and ISU would be tied for the next best record (not sure were Mizzou is ), but NU would hold the tie breaker over ISU because we beat them head to head.... With NU's traveling tradition, this may mean that we go to the Holiday/Alamo bowl, whichever OU doesn't go to !!!! Right or Wrong ?
  12. IMO this game only effects those who may have CU and NU high on their lists. I don't think anyone who has removed NU from consideration will automatically add them back on. I would probably say that this game HURT Colorado's recruiting, MORE than it HELPED Nebraska's. But, a convincing win on National tv surely won't hurt recruiting at all !!!!

    Option dead?

    The option A&M is running is totally different then what Nebraska ran. I wouldn't mind seeing the spread option come to Lincoln but the option of the past is dead. Not so fast my friend. The option that AM was using a lot was the counter option, which Gill made famous way back when ...... Another option that AM used a bunch was the wingback option, which TO, Frost, and Wiggins introduced to Tennessee in '97 ..... I agree that I would like to see some form of the Spread option and I think that it would fit nicely into the WCO scheme of things....maybe if we ever get another duel QB, it may become another weapon... With that said, I am not suggesting that I want the offense of old, because I am not. It is just fun to watch when it is clicking.....but so is our new scheme when everything clicks..... The 'skers are makin' progress !!!!! Critics can shut the he!! up.
  14. I honestly do not see NU going to the INdependence Bowl. Nebraska hasn't traveled well to Shereveport, and they likely will not again. NU shouldn't want to go to the Independence....... we need to play in Florida (Champs), Texas (Houston or Alamo), or California (Holiday) for recruiting purposes. I know that the Alamo and HOliday are long shots, but can NU turn down the higher rated Independence and choose to accept a lower level bowl such as the Champs? The players and fans would rather be in Orlando, instead of Shereveport
  15. No complaining HERE !!! I have not been happy, just like the rest of you, but just like many, I have been stressing be patient with the youth...... This may be the biggest win for this program in 2-3 years.. on national TV, we dominate on the road, and look good doing it..... This could propel recruiting, and the confidence of this team.. I am extremely proud of these guys, coaches, and Husker fans !!!!

    Option dead?

    I know it is early in the game, and I think that I would honestly like to see Texas win the game.. I believe that the horns are the only team out there that can beat USC.. Anyone watching this game.... man, Franchionne's offense is a lot of fun to watch... This is the type of offensive football scheme that I truly enjoy... Today, this team can run the ball with old-style option, West-coast option from shot-gun, pass the ball to TE from regular set, or spread the field with a run/throw option. Damn, it is refreshing to watch a team be versatile..... Last night, some announcer druing one of the games on Thanksgiving stated that the day of the dropback passer is dead !!!!! You need a QB that can run-pass in order to survive at the top... Man , I hope Freeman can run !!!!
  17. Thank you for the update Hootin' !! Keep the information coming. Man, I hope we can land a few more 4-5 star kids... I like the early "game-day" visits, but sometimes, the excitement fades as the season goes on. If a kids "last" visit goes well, it sometimes is the most fresh in his memory....especially if NU's season didn't goe extremely well.

    Elderly man falls and breaks hip, unable to get to phone or H2O?
  19. With these guys currently playing D1 and a few of them are pretty darn good.... Makes me wonder if Coach Petito isn't a Callahan fan...... I'm not postive, but has Callahan been able to get a solid "Millard North"guy? I know he has only had two years, but you think that with the history of "North" guys at NU, that the recent cold spell could mean that Petito could not be a Callahan guy. On the other hand, being a coach myself, I would hope that Petito would not try to influence the kids at all.. Just leave it up to the kids.
  20. I will honestly be very surpised if Young comes to NU. If he really wanted to be a 'sker, he would have committed by now. Petito (HS coach), said in the paper the other day, that if Iowa offers that he would not be surprised if Young headed to Iowa City.... he also added that if Iowa didn't offer, he wouldn't be surprised if Young "didn't head another direction". I am not sure I like the phrase "another direction". Sounds to me, that it could possibly be ISU or CSU.... He may just be an in-state guy, who just doesn't like the direction the program is heading.... and this is very unsettling !!! If "in-state" guys begin to feel this way, it makes me wonder if we can continue to get the studs from other states.
  21. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Husker fans !! Hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Holiday. Eat, drink, and be merry!!! We will all eat turkey today, and feast on buffalo meat tomorrow... Happy Holidays Huskers Are National Champs

  23. NU = 27 CU = 20 Rush = 86 Pass = 245 It is ver obvious that I am thinkin with my heart , and not my mind
  24. Right now TCU would concern me..... I am really hoping for Georgia Tech or Clemson in the Champs Bowl.... We would get to the Florida recruits, it would be a winnable game, nationally televised, and a good "reward" for the players..... Remember, these hot-shot freshmen didn't sign on to spend the Holidays in Shereveport or Houston..... they want Florida !!!!! The negative of FSU is the fact that if you get hammered...... just gives recruits one more reason to choose schools like FSU over NU , along with the weather, scenary, etc.....
  25. IMO scheduling 1A "patsie" teams is no way to bring Nebraska back onto the CFB map. I say we play Alabama or Oregon. Both of those teams have regained recognition and would be a challenge for the Huskers. Challenges, early in the season, help define the team and build on strengths early. Besides, I think either of those teams would be a thrill to watch head to head against NU. I don't disagree with you, but Alabama and Oregon is not really realistic.... NU is not interested in scheduling a "home-home" with any big school at this time... They want a home game for REVENUE...... I would love to see schools like that, but reality says that NU will schedule teams who do not expect a return visit.... I do disagree in the sense that NU will only regain power by playing big names.... This team needs to get to BOWLS, and post winning records, and possibly get ranked which come with solid records..... At this time, this team is not strong enough to schedule an Alabama-Oregon along with the Big 12 and maintain a winning record....thus, a continue decline in recruiting !!!!! Remember, what fans want, is not always "best" for the university.
