Time to drop some knowledge. Today's game wasn't technically a rubber match. The final game is only a rubber match if the teams split the first two games... we lost both.

Lol at Cotton recruiting only lineman, besides the one QB. I know it's his position and everything, but it's as if the coaches feel the same way as we do... "No, Barney, you just focus on the lineman. Leave the rest to us. You can spend you free time... playing army guys." (Bo gives to Barney)

I can't believe we are discussing EMart not being able to help in run support. The guy whose nickname is Caveman. The guy who got suspended for his hit on ST ( still think it was a horsecrap call). The ST maven. Seems like it's such an oxymoron. Guess it makes a big difference when a 300+ lb. OT wants to maul you on a running play

Caught the end of the game yesterday on the radio in the kitchen of the restaurant I wait at. It was especially pleasing to hear the walk off announced b/c the lone cook yesterday is a big OU fan. Man was he pi$$ed off we found a way to win Well, this series tells me it appears our baseball team may have located and/or regrown the cojones they've been sorely lacking the last few years. If they can keep it up, should be a fun year. Would be great to break in the new stadium with our Huskers earning a CWS berth... but that's a long ways off.

Let's hope we continue to battle on the mound, pick up some hits, and take the rubber game today!

I just find the state of our team laughable... It honestly makes me smile how stupid trying to root for our Bball team makes me feel. I get off work tonite around 9:45 and tune in to the game on the way home. We're down nine and Jeter (our leader who always puts this team on his shoulders) nails a three. Then we try to get back in it and... What do you know? Diaz "loses" the ball out of bounds. How many times have I heard that phrase this year? This would be understandable for someone, say, who had rocks instead of hands, but then why the hell would that person get a basketball scholarship?!?! Perhaps before next season Diaz should attempt to learn how to catch a basketball.

Well, we shall hope this works out better than our last transfer. Or at least Mike doesn't end up in such a poor place in life that he feels the need to sue the NCAA over a video game.

I initially thought of Paul and Justin Jackson for those who were trying to keep track at home. Totally forgot about Steiny and Rickey Thenarse. Also, thought of Jake Cotton's incident with his old girlfriend that he went to court for, for those trying to keep track of our players. I guess this article goes to show you that for every kid out there that's respectful and follows his mama's orders, there's also a kid willing to throw a guy through a glass door and continue to punch him while he's bleeding, or a guy willing to choke out/slap his girlfriend and her friends. Really sad.

I like you plan for the end of the game. The only problem I see with your plan is that whole "throwing it to Diaz" part. I don't know that we could successfully execute anything like that. LOL @ the username "Accountability" being the last guy to post in this thread. It's something we always seem to lack after these inexplicable losses.

LOL. And a +1 for you, sir.

Well... The JBD hate thread should officially wreck the board now. For anyone not watching the game, Jeter just made a dish to a WIDE OPEN JBD down low down 3... and JBD had the ball go off his chest and proceeded to fall over.

KSU.. If missouri can start to struggle and we beat them, then we can maybe put them on the bubble. If we win today and Missery loses, we are only a game back. A game we could make up on Tuesday and then Mizzou has to play KU after us. If we win out, Missery loses out we could take 5th in the Big 12. 5th means we get ISU in game one in the tourney, then another shot at KSU. Correct me if i am wrong in my assumptions. No, that sounds great. You obviously put more thought in than myself. Thought about it for all of about 10 seconds. I just really want another shot at KSU/Pullen now. He's a douche because: A) He said he wouldn't play if they went to the NIT. What a tool B) The beard. We all know what it really looks like... like something you should trim in the shower.

Also, just curious... perhaps one of the more basketball savvy guys could fill me in... Who do we want to win the Mizzou/KSU game? It's on ESPN right now, and KSU holds the edge 41-38 at half? Do we cheer for the team that just beat us or the one we have yet to play? I'd think Mizzou since we could then come back to beat them.

Just noticed, ESPN was too lazy to do a preview write up for this game (can't really blame them with all the NCAAB games), but they have Standhardinger listed as our top rebounder with 5.5/game. I agree with Redout, this really is a must win game. We cannot suffer a loss to a team this bad and still have reasonable or even Great Expectations () to get into the tourney. We need to show we even have a pulse on the road, do well finishing out the schedule, and then impress when we get into the tourney. We still have a ton of people to win over.

Time to yank another O-tackle out of Colorado? We shall see. To be honest, with the haul we got last year and the youth we already have, offensive line is not one of the spots I'm worried about in this cycle. Would LOVE to see some stud LB's tho... As I'm sure most of you would.

Huskerjournal Good lord... Guess it ain't ever too early to set in with this crap.

8-6 KSU with 15:50 left in first half. Game is streaming on ESPN3.com and on 1110 AM for radio.

I've heard another name thrown out there last year as a guy who could be next in line behind Legate (not Zimmerer)... But unfortunately I'm far too lazy to look it up. Gotta feel bad for the kid, though. Probably busts his ass every day on the practice field as hard or harder than most everybody else to MAYBE see 1-2 snaps a game. True Husker.

Because it comes natural for him? I will agree to this point, although I'm sure the MODS wouldn't appreciate the language, by, but not in this circumstance. If I got on here and said the BIG XII or Big 11 never gets in trouble for anything and that the NCAA takes it easy on them, I am 100 percent certain that a host of posters would tell me how uninformed I am and list examples of infractions that resulted in penalty and repercussions. To say that the SEC never gets in trouble for anything is uninformed at best and ignorant and childish at worst (I understand that 5 straight championships will do that). Don't get me wrong, the SEC engages in practices that at this point are somewhat legal (oversigning) that I believe are a bit shady, but don't say something laughable like the guy above and expect some sort of backlash, makes no difference if I'm an SEC fan or not. Sorry that I am more informed on the subject matter and posted examples to back it up...actually, no, not sorry. Also, I would put money that Tennessee is going to receive a decent punishment from the NCAA by the end of the week...just reinforces my earlier argument. Not to knit pick, but since both NU and Colorado are leaving, technically at this point it's the big 12-2 (not tbe Big XII or 11)

You may be right, but that's a bit like comparing apples and oranges, isn't it? Especially if this particular orange is 6'6" and weighs 300 lbs.

This x1000. Bubba is not a good or even average passer at this juncture in his career. If he decides to pass up the MLB, he will likely see time at QB and likely WR, but in no way should he be the STARTER next year. I could see him subbing in, but if he is the starter, it will probably be a long season. I love the way he said he wants to come after Martinez's job right away, but if he is the starter are offense likely becomes pretty one dimensional. Oh well, at least if we went that route, and he got hurt, we'd actually have a backup to come in with the same type of abilities! 74 hunter... Carter cannot RS. He's a 2 for 2 guy. He's got the size and ability to play alot next year... we shall see. I'm also high on E Mart, and he should stay at DE... I don't think he's mentally capable of grasping the defense the way we need our backers to... Especially if he's two years in and THEN they switch him. That says all that needs to be said. Still hoping on Ankrah, he was a beast recruit coming out of Maryland. He's got time to develop yet. Fuzzy, Yusef Wade is working at RB, and I believe he won Scout Team MVP last year. For all the guys talking about AA redshirting or not, there was some positive talk about Wade at the end of last year. I guess we'll see if it's just buzz come next season.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5585220 Do more research before posting. Thanks! I think he meant recruiting wise. Green's suspension is honestly one of the few times I can remember the NCAA getting involved and banning somebody. Most of the time it's self imposed by the head coach or the higher ups.

Of course... Ain't nobody needs help with the ladies rocking the Flat Top.
