  1. Anyone else starting to think that our DL is getting a bit too much hype?

      Except D-Line, especially if he becomes a pass rush specialist has less of a mental aspect to the game than DBs.

      Our D-line would be great IF we can get productivity from out D-ends!

      When you D is designed to stop spread teams that throw it around––teams like Missouri––giving up yards on the ground is okay as long as you stiffen in the red zone. I would guess we'll see a different product against the run this year. Anyone in the know correct me if I'm wrong.

  2. Back up and running?!

  3. Big news if you have Time Warner/DirectTV/Dish/Charter and an iPhone or iPad. http://www.bigtennetwork.com/generic/video/BTN2Go

      Thank you sir for the news. I have had trouble getting anything from Charter.

  4. Fall camp must be close, the "OL Is much improved" chatter has begun anew.

      Been there and done that . . . every year for as long as I can remember.

      The pre-season sunshine pumping never ends, and it usually never pans out/ends in disappointment.

      How about anyone with any speculation on the dance team? What are we dealing with this year?

  5. I had forgotten that Baker Steinkuhler was a 5 star.

      Here's hoping he comes into his own these last two years. Suh wasn't all that special until his Junior year. If Baker plays to potential and Crick is only as good as he was last year, those two could be disaster for opponents. If B Stein doesn't meet potential, Terrance Moore is ready for playing time, believe me.

      @imgonnasuhyou - Yep. He hasn't looked too special yet. He still has time to flourish.

    4. husker B-rent

      he was a 5 star on the oline and a 3-4 star on the dline. we had better depth on the oline so he played d.

  6. Oh, Martinez . . . sometimes you remind me of Bo.

  7. Remembered again that Henery wasn't a finalist for the Groza. Further proof that individual awards are BS.

    1. NUance

      What a glaring omission. I'm embarrassed for the jackasses that nominate for the Groza.

      if they had watched almost any game from the last 3 years, they would know he was heroic. laughable that they left him out.

  8. Nebraska day on the Big 10 Network!

  9. Soooo . . . recruiting is slow right now. Small class. Not much momentum. Comon McMullen! Pull the trigger!

  10. Anyone else receiving error messages when they try to post?

      Give it another go. Incidentally, are you guys getting issues with the countdown clock as well?

      Countdown clock is working for me. Still can't post, though. I've logged out, cleared cookies, etc. No go.

      I've tried the same things as knapplc. Also tried the IP app on my phone. Still can't post. Countdown clock works for me.

  11. I'm tired of the Bubba Starling talk. Great kid. Not coming to Nebraska.

      You can go back to college for a long time with a $7 million dollar signing bonus. Worked out alright for Weeden.

    3. bbeerma2

      bbeerma2

      Can't he play through his initial contract then go to school in another sport?

    4. bbeerma2

      bbeerma2

      Or is that only if he gets his signing bonus and doesn't play?

  12. Erstad?! Swinging for the fences I guess. Hardly any coaching experience.

  13. Jim Tressel resigned.

      I'm not a big fan of rap songs for highlight reels but that music fit really well with that video clip.

  14. Fro . . . what's up with MU paying for rings celebrating their 2010 North Championship?

      Recruiting...they want to show off one more ring to the recruits

    3. carlfense

      carlfense

      I'd think that sort of thing would be more useful in negative recruiting. "Do you really want to go to a school who celebrates finishing second in their division?"

  15. Just think . . . we could have Tyler Gabbert instead of Brion Carnes. Thanks for everything, Pinkel.

      This looks like it's going to work out very well for us in the end. Thank you, Tommie Frazier connections! We almost ended that year without a QB in the class...

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Yeah, it worked out for the best! Blaine Gabbert was the man. But lil' brother Tyler is a punk ass bitch.

  16. Check out the live unveiling of the East Stadium expansion at 7pm on huskers.com

  17. Happy 150th anniversary of firing on Ft. Sumter day.

  18. Uh oh. Sounds like Iowa is going to be sued.

  20. Jamal Turner at WR, eh? Must want to get him on the field!

      Best athletes on the field. Best chance of getting in the endzone.

  21. Nebraska declined to have the Spring Game televised on the BTN.

      Yeah, I'm not sure why you wouldn't wanna show it, especially since Bo said they're going to keep it pretty vanilla.

      I don't really buy the "It wouldn't draw people if it was on TV" argument either.

       

      Almost every Nebraska home game is on TV . . . but I still go. Even with practice/spring game, it's just as much about the atmosphere as just seeing the game.

    4. 74Hunter

      They should put in on TV. This is too bad.

  22. Did Heard just qualify? Rumblings.

      I sure hope he doesn't go by "Dick" lol

  24. Does anyone still think that Pelini can't recruit? Seemed to be a popular belief a few years ago . . .

      sounds like people with nothing better to do made assumptions and created drama, when more likely there was little if not none within the actual football complex.

      Me thinks that zoogies isn't going to be happy until the Pelini era is over. I like reading what ya have to say but it's never very positive.

    4. carlfense

      carlfense

      I think zoogies might be a bit more realistic than many message boarders.

       

      I was referring to a few years ago when there was a slew of "the sky is falling" threads in the recruiting section. I'm definitely not saying there is no room for improvement. There is.
