I dont know. But I know that supposedly two DEs committed to Florida this week when Owa was visiting. UF already had one on board for next year so I doubt that they would want another. I think these two DEs committment to UF just took UF out of the running for Owa. No insider info on that last statement. JMO.

True but we also have 6 committed DLinemen, probably not the same caliber as Florida but 6 is quite a bit

Plus I think Florida would take Owa if they got a commitment from him

Does anyone know what he ranked his other visits?

C.J. Spiller RB Clemson 97443 19%

Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska 94500 18%

Almost there! Keep voting and send this to everyone u know!

gave it a 9 outa 10, but still will visit Florida and then USC.

He said we will definitely be in his final 3 to 4

Itll be really hard to sway him away from those heavy hitters, but one can only hope.

He got to talk with Osborne a bit, his host was Jason Ankrah, and the main coach recruiting him is DE coach JP

I have a tremendous respect for Texas, but does this game remind anyone of something?

What about 1996 were Texas prevented us from getting to our 3rd strait title in a row after defeating us in the Big 12 title, or 1999 were losing to UT in midseason eliminated our chances of a NC.

Now its our chance to return the friendly favor, we can prevent the horns from entering a NC, that is assuming the enter the championship still undefeated, they still have A&M left

Before that game we need to run a highlight reel of Texas' desruction on our championship runs, wow how the tables have turned

REVENGE!

We just got one of his teamates commitments and have andrew green, his cousin, already on the team, will we see Austin commit soon?

apparently were a serious player now?

anyone got some scoop

Wasn't this guy suppose to commit like a month ago?

hopefully hes not looking for other offers, ex Oklahoma

On rivals it said something about top RB coming to visit, anyone know who it is?

Is it Aaron Green for next years class?

Finally we got some of the southern speed. According to scout he runs a 4.37! Don't know if I believe that, but he still is fast.

Sorry, these weren't originally intended to be backgrounds.....so they're an odd size (1280x900). They may work for you nevertheless.

#1 is a winner

If yall can give me links that would be cool

Does anybody know a store in omaha that sells Ndamukong Suh Jerseys? I absolutely have to have one

the Red Zone advertises a Blackshirt with his number. If you want his name you'll have to wait til he graduates, NCAA rules.

NEBRASKA!

I guess Bo & Co. must have stopped by and said something, cause Chase Rome is N!

Thats to major Missouri talents heading to Nebraska.

Now hopefully he'll stay commited.

Question now is who's next?

Flapped my arms like angel wings. It works I swear, last year for the 57 yard field goal. Also, I guess if u face elephant statues backwards to a door (thats their butt facing the door), it brings good luck. The elephant thing worked for Clemson and this, but it only works when my sister arranges them.

SUH N da Zoo!

Mr. Suh lose in Mizzou!

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How bout this?

"Mizzouri Your Short Term Succcess Has Now Entered the Black Abyss!"

then we could have a tiger getting sucked up by this black hole looking thing with the skull and cross bones above it.

or

"Meet the Gate Keeper"

the have a pic of Suh standing infront of a a gate that reads "Prestige".

just throwing ideas

Reeves wearing Husker hat - click for picture

 

Is it now trendy in Hollywood to wear husker gear?

 

Any other celebrity/famous Husker fans? Besides the obvious:

 

Larry the Cable Guy

Warren Buffett

Clarence Thomas

Johnny Carson was when he was alive, he donated a bunch to our arts programs

 

Now think of NU vs. OU. Outside of the Crouch-Collins-Stuntz-Crouch play in 2001 there simply hasn't been a lot of NU-OU games that have come down to the wire.

 

Im assuming u mean 1986 on right?

Yes 1988 we only won by 4, 1991 we only beat OU by 5, 1994 was closer than CU, infact it was one of our closet games of the season (wyoming, miami, and Ksu were the others), 2000 we started with a 14-0 lead but then blew it, 05 we lost by 7, 06 we had a huge defesive battle in the Big 12 championship, but after that they just to good for us.

But if your not

Then Johnny Rodgers punt return TD in the Game of the century, or even just the GAme of the Century

1978 osborne beats Ou for first time as HC and inspired for title hopes (only to get crushed by MO)

Billy sims' famous fumble at the 2 or 3 yard line

The tripplets barely past the sooners to continue thier #1 ranking

The Game of the Century 2 OUs revenge

the list goes on

By the way the way the NU-OU rivalry was formed completely diffrent and in a more significant way. It was not based on hopes to bring up a lowline program by picking the best team in the Big 8 as thier main focus, but rather a battle every year for Championship hopes.

7 times the teams have faced one was #1

2 times they were #1 to #2 while facing (even)

9 times both were in the top 5

17 times both were in the top ten

25 times both were ranked

Can u match this with CU

or how bout 5 NCs to 7 (5 to 4 when CF was integrated and 2 patoon)

Over 96 All-Americans to over 140

The fith most winningest team to the 7th

The 3rd best winngest % to the 4th Post WWII

3 heismans to 5 (3-4 when CF was integrated and 2 patoon)

over 80 confence championships between NU and Ou

The winnigest progam since 1970 to the winningest program since post WWII

THE GAME OF THE CENTURY

Does not compare they are our rival youre right, but not our top rival, rather a Mediocre rivalry

He is Tommie Frazier's cousin, if I remember right, wouldn't mind getting him regardless of what he plays.

You Are Correct Sir!

I know it is hard for the people on this board to believe, but the Nebraska-Colorado game is a rival game for the Huskers.

 

First off, the two teams face each other every year.

 

Secondly, the two teams have a history going back to the late 1980s that includes mostly tight games and a couple of blow outs in favor of both sides. Plus, just like any rivalry, you can throw out the records. No matter what the records are, the games are tight.

 

What we can talk about is the origin of the rivalry....the relationship that existed back in 1986. Nebraska was a superior team to Colorado. The Buffaloes talked up a rivalry that didn't exist back then and they didn't care how ridiculous the conversation became.

 

Sal was a victim of that era. Tragically he became ill at a very young age and was used as a slogan for a team in its march toward beating Nebraska first and then the national title.

 

What was especially aggravating for Husker fans was that the Colorado team was No. 1 a pretender and No. 2 a slogan making machine that valued smack talk over actual on-the-field performances. When they lost to Nebraska, they always said they were victimized somehow and when they won they conducted themselves in the same classless manner.

 

If you were to walk on to the campus this year and ask about Sal, I feel as though most people would not know what his significance was to the Colorado program.

 

If you walk on to the campus in Lincoln and ask about Brook, you will not only find people who know what his significance is, you will also find a statue outside of North stadium and hear about a citizenship team created in his name. A special effort was not made to make a slogan out of Brook's death back then. T.O. rejected that notion in favor of real long lasting honors.

 

Sal, to my knowledge, is not honored in such ways by CU.

 

Colorado went about it wrong and that's why Nebraska fans rolled their eyes.

 

Sadly, it would not be a surprise at all if the sign disparaging Sal was painted by a CU fan in the first place.

First off i didn't see anyone bring up them being our rival, so I don't know how the conversation came to this, i said they see us a rival but i did not say we felt the same. Anyway They are a rival of ours just as missouri, Kansas State, and even kansas our considered our rivals. Much like these other teams they are a minor or mid-major rival, whatever you want to call it. Oklahoma is our only game that has really had tradition and a sense of equality between games (most seasons exclude half the 90's and half the 00's). The truth is Nebraska has a 76 winning % agianst CU and similar %s agianst MU, and KSU. Since that 1988 CU has totaled 6 wins over us, KSU 5, AND mu 4. When the Minor Rivalry was at its peak in the 90's NU won 8 of the 10 games played, 9 with KSU (but this stat does no justice to them cause 2000 they did beat us), and MU winning no games. yet if you want to point in more recent times in the new mienium Cu has beat NU 4 times, KSU 4, and MU 4. The fact of the matter is the only reason CU and KSU became such big games for us was Oklahoma's falloff and then our falloff. I still Like to point out that from 91-93 and then revamped from 00-01 the NU-Ou games were closer in score. For a short time when Oklahom was brought back to NC contender and NU was still an NC contender the NU-OU Rivalry was the biggest game for both teams.

I must give CU some credit though as they did infact win an NC (on a 9-1-1 record, with a 5th down, and a clipping call on Rocket Ismael) and have won a Heisman (this I can not argue with Salaam definitely had some numers) while KSU and MU have niether, but since the moderate amping of CU's short lived program KSU has won a confrence title.

Yet truth betold a 30 some winning % and moderate to nearly no prestige does not cut it to be Nebraska's Main Rival, not to mention thier lack of class and respect

I didn't even bother with Kansas considering they were not much of a contender til recently.

Wel there ya have it, but I can add more if u like

Heres my story

I live in Colorado and a few years ago I went to that OU-CU game (were OU was upset), because my friend and his family are major OU fans (which is kind of ironic), and they were just absolutely awfull to us. Of course I was wearing Husker gear and everywere I went they just were real dipp Sh*ts. At Arbys they pretty much threw my burger at me, during the game in the OU section I was getting yelled at by some middle aged couple, and at the end of the game we accedently went through the dorm areas and they were trying to pic fights with us and were screaming obscenities left and right. This wasn't even a Husker game! Although I hear Columbia is pretty bad too, CU fans in Boulder have this wierd obsessive hatered for the Huskers there and see it as this larger than life colossal rivalry I guess we can thank McCartney for that.

Yet outside Boulder their fans are usually pretty decent, even though they have somewhat of a resentment to NU, they really are quite respectfull (especialy the older ones). Still there a those select few unknowledgable fans who are complete disgraces to the game.

I want to see us play Penn State every year!!!

Just think their perfect for us

1. The tradition between our programs... JoePa v Osborne, 5 NCs to 3, the red sea v the whiteouts in happyvalley

2.The importance/Bitterness/Tradition of past games and seasons... the old Kick-Off Classics, the 1982 bogus inbounds catch call that ruined NU's title hopes and the 1994 season were NU was chosen over Penn State for NC while both finish undefeated.

3. no definitive mutual rivalry for either team, (Im scared to think that Texas may have filled our shoes with the help of the Big 12 and our dropoff after 2001. I hope Im wrong but if so do we really want to settle for unworthy classless teams such as CU or Mu, the tigers don'teven see us as thier top rival. And KSU wouldn't be a good fit either)

4. looks great 4 for our strength of schedule

5. Just a Fun Game!!!

(not to mention they would make a great volleyball rival too)

Or why not Miami or FSU

Lets pick between talented teams, who our close to our Prestige, and who have shown they can play us well!

COLORADANS 4 NEBRASKA is in the house

 

 

You must be tough. How do they treat you?

Not to bad Actually, First of all I live about an hour and a half to two hours away from Boulder, so their fanbase doesn't have as big of a following here. The State of Colorado is more Bronco Country than anything, but after that its the Avs, Nuggets, then Rockies. CU is about 5th or not at all on most peoples priority. But usually the few CU I do see aren't to bad, th older fan (although they somewhat a resentment to nebraska) they are pretty respectfull. Now of course you get a few Dumb A$$es from time to time who are completely inknowledgable about the game, but not to bad in the Springs. Boulder on the other hand is a place of its own.

A few years ago I went to that OU-CU game, because my friend and his family are major OU fans (which is kind of ironic), and they were just absolutely awfull to us. Of course I was wearing Husker gear and everywere I went they just were real dipp Sh*ts.

This wasn't even a Husker game! They have the wierd obsessive hatered for the Huskers there and see it as this larger than life colossal rivalry, I guess we can thank McCartney for that.

But there is quite a huge Husker Fan base hear, i think were the 3rd biggest out of state Husker organization. All the Fox & hound Bars throughout the state are decked and filled with red on saturdays and after ther season we have a recruiting party were former players and recruiting analystits come for Q&As and autograph sessions. this year was Ganz and Slauson.
