Yeah, I'm pretty broken up about that too. (heh, heh, heh.)

Yeah, our time of possession really did help us out last year on D. Anyone know what our TOP was back in ’07? (How much did we really improve if you factor in TOP?) We won’t likely improve much on TOP this year, as compared to last. It makes me wonder how much improvement we will see from the Blackshirts.

What about your defense? Total Defense: Kansas...89th in total defense...396.69 yards per game. Missouri's...98th in total defense...411.50 yards per game. Scoring Defense: Kansas...28.85 points per game. Missouri...27.21...points per game. Seems to me that KU's defense was just as pathetic last year. As i was reading more into the post, she stole my thunder... I think OSU could give everyone in the south a hell of a good scare. They're flying just enough under the radar. Not for nothing lady and gents, but NU's scoring D wasn't that great last year either. True NU was much better in total D, but NU was 80th in the nation in scoring defense at 28.54 points/game. Looking at average points per game allowed for similar opponents for each team, MU was the best and KU was better than NU. MU vs. KU = 29.8 vs. 32.2 MU vs. NU = 28.5 vs. 30.5 KU vs. NU = 35.5 vs. 36.2 I know a lot of us NU fans want to point to the last half of the season as the improvement of the Blackshirts, and yes they did improve but it didn't show up statistically because of the soft non-conference schedule. If you don't include the Big XII Title Game to make the comparison equal, MU was the best Defense of the 3 over the last half of the regular season, 6 games, and the bowl game as well as the last 3 regular season games and the bowl game. NU was the 2nd best in that stretch and KU was the worst. If you add in the Big XII Title game to MU's total, MU was 2nd best and NU was the best. Team / Last 6 + Bowl / Last 3 + Bowl / Last 6 + Bowl + Big XII / Last 3 + Bowl + Big XII MU / 26.9 / 26.0 / 31.3 / 33.2 NU / 29.1 / 28.8 / -- / -- KU / 38.1 / 34.5 / -- / -- True, Mizzou may have had a slightly better D than us last year. But all B12 North defenses stunk last year. 2009 Scoring D, Nat’l rank: Mizzou #69 Nebr #80 Kansas #82 Colo #86 Iowa St #110 Kansas St #110 ncaa stats I was excited about the Blackshirts last year because we made considerable improvements over the previous season. We won’t be anywhere close to where we want to be until we have a solid top 20 defense. Maybe top 10. At least we are heading in the right direction.

The guy's logic is a bit, er, difficult to follow.

I'd like to gather a few dozen Nebraska license plates from junkyards and use magnets to put them over the plates of Colorado cars parked near the stadium. Then place NU bumperstickers over their CU bumperstickers. I’d like to see the looks of the Colo folks whose cars got vandalized by their own fans because of the Nebraska plates. Who would they be mad at?

Colorado isn't mentioned, oddly enough. It's a nation-wide thing, not just Big XII. Still, I don't know how you leave off a fan base with Colorado's track record....? Yeah, how could CU *not* be on the list?? I would put CU at #3 and leave UT off the list. Since the blog is written by aTm fans they probably put UT on there to stick it to their instate rival.

From a blog written by aTm fans (the article is several months old). Funny B12 stuff throughout the blog. link

Yeah, it should be a good movie. THe book, "Blind Side" by Michael Lewis was a good read too.

Hawaii’s pre-game Haka dance is kinda cool. It’s not really an entrance so much as a ritual. link

Notre Dame could go 10-0 someday—that is, if they can find 7 other service academies to play.

Uuuuuuuuhhh, that would require me being somewhere close to ballet. Not going to happin' Ha ha! When you are married the TV remote sometimes falls into the hands of others.

Ha ha! Point taken.

Ohio State—they have home game against USC Sept 12. Then pretty clear sailing until visit Happy Valley in Nov. Florida State—if they get past Hurricanes in the opener they could possibly run the table all the way up to Florida last game of the year. At Florida. It could happen. Good topic, btw.

Yeah, Iowa would be a great yearly game. But Iowa would want out after the Hawkies lost a half dozen in a row, and suffered an invasion of 50k Husker fans in Iowa City a few times.

She should have been suspicious when Ben asked her up to his room to “work on his antenna.” After all, everybody knows that hotels have cable TV.

I know it has been said, but for the longest time, I thought those were dancing bananas. Then I realized Nebraska was not nicknamed the Banana Peelers or Ripe Bananas. Eh, football season needs to start now! They're not bananas???? Please tell me this is a bunny with a pancake on its head is that what it is? i never really understood it... i need some basic ground rules, whens a good time to use this that makes sense... Not to me.
