The Dude

Why was Pelini ripping into Martinez? That was weird.

They remembered they don't have Suh.

Keep playing tough DEFENSE!!!

Watson is a joke, people who stick up for him have their heads in the sand. I don't care what anyone says, we won't be an elite program again until we get a decent OC.

Fail.

I've been saying that about Niles Paul all year.

Why doesn't pelini have the balls to bench Niles like that?

My god, high school coaches can teach kids not to fumble. This is effing ridiculous.

Why isn't Niles Paul on the bench yet!!!!??????

Pfft. What kind of legit D-1 college football stadium has a track around it? /trollface

wow these Big Ten teams are SLOOOW. It's like watching tree sloths.

Welcome to the board. Concerning crowd noise I'll say this: the louder the better. That's when the Husker offense really seems to turn it on.

The mascot thing is dead on lol. Bring back old Herbie and get rid of lil Red for the love of god!

No.

Doesn't look like an 8 year old lol. Then again my little brother is 15 and he's 6' 3" tall.

Bo needs to see Remember The Titans. /thread

Er - see Texas game for a prime example of head scratching? New routes, new formations, all within our scheme, but new looks that Texas was unprepared for. They were a good team then and had not mailed in their season at all, yet. Now we have to decide whether we want our OC to be doing this sort of thing - exploiting various weaknesses, such as the power game on Missouri, the passing attack on OSU, the zone read on KSU - or if we should just do the same thing, over and over, and have an "identity" that happens to be so good nobody can stop it anyway. I couldn't disagree more. The passes seemed more like desperation reactions to the fact that our zone-read wasn't working than the product of a pre-mediated game plan. I guess we'll never know for sure, but let me put this thought into your head: We tend to blame Burkhead, Kinnie, and Paul for all those dropped balls and claim that it was a lack of execution---not play calling---that doomed us. But which is more likely? That our players all miraculously failed to execute pass plays they'd been drilling all week? Or that the players failed to execute pass plays with which they were largely unfamiliar, having not run them regularly in practice leading up to the game? I think it's clear that Watson figured we'd run all over Texas, and then hastily inserted some pass plays when he found that his run game was getting stuffed. If Watson comes in prepared to run and pass out of jumbo sets and the I-formation, we win that game. Considering we ran the zone read over and over and over and over again in that game, even though it wasn't working, I'd say your on to something.

All the players seem to shop there. I go there every couple days to buy groceries. I talked to Suh and Dillard there. Seen Crick, Sirles, Qvale, Cody Glenn, and Cody Green there too. There were several players there the day the NCAA video game came out lol.

Most everybody wants to see NU vs. OU one last time. Count me in.

I must say, these Aggie fans are awesome. I've always had good experiences with A&M fans. I don't really remember this many visitors to the board for any other game this year. Plus they've all been really friendly and knowledgeable. Certainly my second favorite fanbase in the Big XII. Next year they'll be my favorite fanbase in the Big XII. Respect.

To be fair, Nebraska has been good A LOT longer than VA Tech. In 30 years they'll have a bunch of old people filling their stadium too.

I think some of you guys are underestimating A&M. If Jerrod Johnson wouldn't have given the game away, they would have beaten OSU. Plus they held their own against Arkansas.

so really Osborne did the same thing, just had a different way of going about it. I like how Bo motivates people: brutal honesty. Like when he told Ndamukong Suh he wasn't a good player, I believe "you stink" is the exact quote.

I have a friend who is an A&M alum/fan who will be attending this game. If Nebraska loses I'll never hear the end of it.

It sure wasn't for the Texas game when it was needed lol that's true. It was bonkers at kick off. Then I think the dumb fumbles/dropped passes, horribly predictable play-calling, and weak effort on defense kinda took the air out of the stadium.
