Spartness

I come to the conclusion he disliked Callahan more that he dislikes Nebraska. He has said good things about Pelini in the past.

Great post. I have not seen Locker play, so I can't say too much. Locker is probably a great runner for a pro style QB, but is probably not quick enough to be classified as a duel threat QB ... but I could be wrong. I would compare Locker to Martinez -- although it still very early to make a complete evaluation of Martinez -- as a Honda Accord to a Corvette, as far as acceleration.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Both players are very explosive. But it's way too early to make this comparison. Let's see how T-Mart does against Washington, UT, KSU, MU, OSU, and perhaps even OU. How successful will Robinson be against OSU and other Big 10 foes? We have a lot of season left.

Since we haven't played this game yet, there is the question of the unknown. That's why we play the game. Your QB may have a great game or a rough one. Your offense may get over 400 yards or under 200. That's why we play the game. But from past experiences, you appear to have the type of offense that Pelini likes to defend the most against. An offense -- and I certainly could be wrong about this since I haven't seen your team play -- that I doubt is very physical ... this plays into Pelini's hands. While we haven't really been tested yet on offense and there are still plenty of unknowns ... oh by the way, did I tell that's why we play the game ... we have perhaps one of the most dangerous running QBs in the country. Watch out of number 3! Very often when he runs you will have only one or two defenders to tackle him or he is gone. That's not a joke ... he's that fast and explosive. I like to think of him as a Corvette going from 0 to 60. If Washington is successful on offense against us, I will have to rethink this. But as of now, I'm more worried what a punishing, physical running attack, with a running QB like T Tayor, could do against us rather than a passing spread offense. So that's my take.

First off, I agree he has developed well as a QB ... and who knows ... he might be our starter some time in the future, whether it be that Martinez falters some or gets injured. But Green has adequate speed for a QB, but perhaps not enough as a WR. Perhaps a TE with his size, but I am far from giving up on him being a QB.

I was there ... I like his quickness and acceleration. Obviously not the fastest straight-ahead speed, or there never would have been that fumble. No doubt Gomes was faster.

As long as T-Mart is the starting QB -- and that could change in the future of course -- will we even see the Wildcat since T-Mart is the Wildcat? Perhaps we will see some of the same plays, but I'm thinking it will be executed only by T-Mart, not Burkhead. But, of course, if Green or Lee take over, then that all changes. Those of you who have played the game and know football best, where am I going wrong with this? ?????????????

That sums it up -- enough said.

Who knows until we see them on the field. But you get the impression ... the way those two are build up ... that Martin and David are the most talented together since Farely and the other Williams in 1995-1996? I remember those two eating up Florida's "Fun 'n Gun offense." But for depth purposes and experience, you still would like to have Fisher, and hopefully Compton isn't out for too long.

How much T.O. influence is involved? I realize he wants to stay out of it unless asked by the coaches, but has Bo and Shawn frequently requested his advice? The type of quarterbacks recruited leads me to think there's at least that possibility. After all, I'm talking about one of the greatest offensive minds of college football.

It comes down to one thing ... and one thing only. We have no idea what's going on in this kid's head. We have no idea if brother Andrew carries more weight than friend Malcolm. And we have no idea if Texas still hasn't contacted him or is no longer interested. You can carry this over 1,000 posts if you like, but we won't truly know anything until he actually pulls the trigger. It's all speculation. But one thing I am sure of ... this thread is going over one thousand.

All I know is his dad ruin our season in 1978. I was so sky high after that OU victory, and we were one win away from playing for the NC in the bowl game. To make matters worse, I was going to Columbia College in Columbia, MO and took a lot of grief after his dad tore us apart that day. Insult to injury, we had to play OU again in the Orange Bowl. Of course we lost that game 31-24.

I believe this is the same name of the Missouri RB who ran through Nebraska in 1978. Missouri won that game in Lincoln 35-31, the week after an Osborne team finally defeated a Switzer team 17-14. Is this kid his son?

I want to add that some politicians speak better than others. That doesn't make them smarter and better. All politicians one time or another have misspoken. Some politicians are just more comfortable in front of a microphone such as Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton and Obama. It was apparent that G.W. wasn't comfortable with public speaking, and he was pretty bad at it. But the man was hardly stupid. He made it to the highest office of the land for crying out loud! If he was dumb, he would had never owned the title of President of the United States. No way!

You are so right about this. You can't be stupid to make it to the highest office of the land and the highest office in your state. You can't be stupid to make it to U.S. Senator or U.S. House of Representative. How can you be stupid -- you would never get anywhere close to those offices if you are dumb. It's a challenge enough to get elected to a local office. Think of how much more difficult it is to get elected to the U.S. level. Dan Quayle is stupid because he was careless over a misspelled word? I would say that was a lack of concentration, not stupidity. How many smart people have you seen make a typo? Politician are what they are: Power hungry control freaks! It's the personal satisfaction of ruling others for their own personal selves. It's never about what's best for the people. It's not about serving the people. It's about serving themselves. It's a darn shame, but it is what it is.

Actually I think I have seen it before sometime back, but it should always be reported. Facebook apparently attracts a lot of con artists. Thanks for the link! I will report this guy. Manhattan: Did you receive your fortune? Would you like to share it?

Oh, I think Obama can speak okay without the teleprompter -- maybe not quite as smooth. But like 90 percent or more of politicians, I just don't trust the guy. He's all politician like the rest. That includes right, middle, left, north, south, east, west, up, down ...

Hey Guys! I didn't know where else to post this. I received a highly questionable Facebook message. I couldn't find a link to report him on Facebook. Besides the fact I saw a rat from the get go, the message is poorly written and unprofessional. Just to play with him, I asked him for his credentials -- of course I never heard back. I don't want this guy to continue to take advantage of others. Where can I report him? Here is the message: (Perhaps some of you have seen this type of scam before.)

Yes, perhaps he could spend a few years in the minors, and perhaps never make it to the next level, but money talks. If he's offered a multi-million-dollar contract, shouldn't he at least seriously consider it? He can always go back to college later. He may never have an opportunity like this again.

I guess these writers have to make a living and find a topic to write. But this is dumb! While he made end up being right, how can he judge Cody Green, who was a true freshman and clearly wasn't ready to play. Because of the lack of OBs last season and Lee's poor play, he had no choice but to play; however, it was quite apparent he needed to redshirt. But as some posters have said, the writers at Bleacher (edit) Report are not the best. So take it for what it's worth! Husker QB Situation: The Pastures May Never Be Green By Greg Buschow (Contributor) on July 09, 2010 With all the questions swirling around the Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback situation, one thing has become quite clear: Cody Green may never see the starting job. First, it's evident Zac Lee will open the season as the starter from there it will be his job to lose. His arm is finally healthy and we might see a vast improvement this season. However, should he fail and lose the job after the first few games or in mid-season, I still don't see Cody Green being the best replacement. So far, in the games I have seen Cody play in, he hasn't developed any accuracy or touch on his passes. In addition to those necessary physical skills, he has also showed a poor ability to be decisive on the field—to make the quick and proper decisions. Yes, hes a superb runner, but defenses will soon realize he's not much of a passing threat. Another stumbling block for Green's hopes of ever winning the starting job is the wealth of quarterback talent Nebraska has acquired in its past few recruiting classes. Guys like Taylor Martinez, Brion Carnes, Jamal Turner and Bubba Starling (although I believe he will except a baseball contract and never put on a Husker uniform), will most likely prove to be too strong of competition for Green to overcome. Green has a lot to prove and even more to improve upon before he can even begin to live up to the recruiting hype. Those four-stars aren't looking so bright these days.

Did he replace Dr. Rob permanently?

You can add Penn Stat's RB Curt Warner.

VA Husker Fan said, "I don't think you've seen as many as you think you have, and certainly not against top 10 teams like the great Oklahoma and Miami defenses. Some of those years were more frustrating when we didn't have any kind of passing threat at all. For the most part though, Osborne ran the offense that usually won or at least kept us from getting too far behind rather than worry about what to do if we got 3 TDs down. The 02 A&M game was a good example of the offense coming back (from 17, wasn't it?) with a poor passing QB." Actually I have had season tickets for over 30 years and have seen almost all of them. I don't remember everyone, of course. As some posters have pointed out, we had come from behind more that 14 points against some weaker opponents. And I remember a few of those. I will be honest with you, I don't remember that A&M game very well, even though I'm 99 percent sure I watched it. The only ones I ever missed -- and I seen most of these, too, were those Western Kentucky type of games. But against top 10 teams before the mid-'90s, we either got defeated in tight games or got trounced! Switzer's teams were a great example of that. Osborne rarely defeated true top 10 teams before those great teams. I can remember three great wins against Alabama in 1977 (31-24, against OU in 1978 (17-14) and against UCLA in 1987 (Don't remember the score). But after the UCLA game, we went through a long string of loses against true top-10 teams. We may have defeated a top-10 rated KSU team once or twice during those pre-mid-'90s years (I don't remember for sure), but I never thought of the Wildcats as a legit top-10 team until that 1998 season. OU may have finished in the top 10 in 1988 (NU 7-OU 3), but that team wasn't even close to Switzer's best. I don't remember if LSU finished in the top 10 in 1982, 1984 and 1986 -- we defeated them in bowls those years, or was it just '82 and '86?I may be missing a couple, but Tom had his problems in big games and against top 10 teams before the mid-'90s.

Speaking of Kansas again, I do remember one of Tom's teams getting behind KU 17-0, and we came back and dominated. But I don't remember what year that was. We had some wild ones with KU. The 1993 game is a great example of that. It wasn't a comeback win -- we won because KU's last play of the game was a missed two-point conversion, which would have beaten us by one. i was at that game at Kansas. That would have taken us out of the NC Orange Bowl game with FSU.

Hardly anyone comes back from THAT big of a deficit. You can't use that as a measuring stick when only a few teams have ever done it. In fact Osborne's teams rarely had to come back, but despite the notion by the "experts" that Osborne's offense couldn't do it, we did come back a few times. Notably in the 1984 Orange Bowl we were down 17 early and 14 in the 4th quarter and did everything but win. And as mentioned, we came back from 10 down twice in the 1995 Orange Bowl. And people remember the flea kicker in 1997 against Missouri, but we had to move 67 yards in a minute to score. I think those 95 and 97 games were the best comebacks because of the importance. I was at both the 02 and 06 A&M games and they were great, and the 02 did keep us from a losing season, but in some ways I wonder if there would've been a bit more harmony in the fan base for firing Solich after a 6-7 season and no bowl. Also, why didn't you include the rest of my post? That was the main part of it -- that Kansas game. "The Catch" was the most spectacular play I have ever seen, but there never was a game changer like that 80-yard bomb in the Kansas game in 1970.
