Sounds about right to me. We match up pretty well against them. Okie Lite has been averaging 49 points per game. I'll be shocked if they put up 30 on Nebraska.

*shudders*

can't pass the ball in cold weather??? Anyone remember the 2007 Patriots?

Kansas would be stupid to let Gill go after this season. He's a good coach. If you can win at Buffalo, you're a good coach. He inherited a sh*# storm there in Kansas. Nobody could have turned it around in one season. This isn't fanboyism, I wasn't a Husker (football) fan until the Tommie Frazier era. It would only make the Kansas job even less appealing to fire him after 1 year. If Kansas is dumb enough to let him go though, it would be a DREAM to have him as our OC. I remember dreaming about it last year and knowing it just wasn't possible. Now it doesn't seem so impossible.

Small Hands Paul.

What a difference a game makes. A week ago Crick was a sure-fire 1st rounder on the HuskerBoard.

Happy Birthday. Make sure to blaze one up.

Isn't Bill Callahan Associate Head Coach of the Jets? It's meaningless.

And good luck to you. I'm really interested to see the Blackmon vs. Amukamara matchup. Should be a good game.

Heh! Which is why the zone read was almost working with Zac in the game. It's called balance Dr. Watson.

They looked good against Washington and K-State. They looked awful against Texas. They just need to be more consistant. Give Mack Brown some credit, he had his boys ready. Pelini didn't.

FOR THE LOVE OF SWEET BABY JESUS, SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE THE BALL TO THE FULLBACK!!!

**correction** The helmet-to-helmet hit on Joshua Cribbs (not Jerome Harrison) was legal because he was a ball carrier and not a defenseless receiver. Both hits were 100% legal. The $75,000 fine was complete BS. And trust me, I'm no Steelers fan.

Oregon will lose a game. Probably against Oregon State at the end of the year. The Pac-10 is wacky like that.

60% of the time, it works every time.

I would usually agree with you but I think this is the first time I understand and almost completely agree with what they are trying to do. I just hope they remember there is a difference between leading with your head or targeting the head, and being taller than your opponent and incidentally hitting his head. I was mostly refering to the incident where that Harrison from the Steelers got fined $75,000 for a perfectly legal, clean hit. Now they're going to start suspending players for "devastating hits" not just head shots. It's just no longer the game I grew up watching. Ndamukong Suh might as well just retire now lol. I don't think that was legal at all. I don't think it is called the National Kill League. The one where is the WR was almost knocked out? Massouqui??? I guess we all have different opinions but now I see Rodney Harrison is having second thoughts on doing the whole dirty player thing. I never respected Harrison since he was a dirty, dirty player. He now wants to say he is sorry for trying to end players careers? Tackle football is brutal enough but when you go for the head it bad news. I grew up watching players like Aikman and Steve Young, they both had to end their careers early do to concussions. Take a look at the helmet to helmet hit on Bradford by a charger. It was so hard on the helmet that Bradford's helmet flew off. Not even a flag or not even a mention on the 24 hour loop on Espn all day yesterday. James Harrison's hit on Massouqui was perfectly legal. Brutal hit, but legal all the same. He shouldn't have gotten fined for that one. The hit on Jerome Harrison wasn't legal, it was a helmet-to-helmet shot. But I wouldn't call it dirty, it appeared unintentional. My problem is the NFL coming out saying they're going to start suspending players for "devastating hits" effective immediately. What a load of garbage. Devastating hits are part of the game. These guys know what they're getting into when they sign those multi-million dollar contracts. Nobody hates these rule changes more than Aikman. You ever listen to him call a game? He's disgusted how the game is watered down now.

Haha. All these rule changes are making the NFL unwatchable.

As much as I wanted to beat Texas I totally agree. It's a game and as a Husker fan I think it's safe to say we've got it and have had it pretty darn good. GBR! On to Oklahoma State... Don't get me wrong I really, REALLY wanted to beat Texas, and sure it hurt. But there's something to be said about losing with grace. Not just as players and coaches, but as fans. I was just upset as anyone, I said and posted stuff I really regret. But the world is still spinning and we got another HUGE game coming up. I'm excited for next week. GBR!

I'm over it. I just have some real sh*t going on in my life right now, and it really puts things into perspective. If the worst thing that happens to us is our boys lose a football game, then we have pretty damn good lives. GO BIG RED!

I know I did.

Watch this for three hours and you see how I spent my afternoon yesterday: It's so appropriate you can see Texas and Nebraska on the map by his face. And on the other wall there's a picture of Niles.

Martinez didn't seem to pout or throw a fit. Just Taylor being Taylor. He's the same way when he breaks an 80 yard TD run. Ice in his viens. I think it's a fantastic characteristic for a freshman QB to have. And yes he has A LOT of room to grow. The sky's the limit.

Nope. I would be disappointed with anything under 11 wins though. It's funny, under Bo it seems like we slump in October and finish really strong. Part of it has been the schedule obviously. If we win our next two games we'll be in really good shape.
