  1. To be fair, the people who tell other people to "sit down and be quiet" are vastly more annoying than those vuvuzelas. Both should be banned from the stadium.
  2. I hate auto-tune, but I still lol'd. Well done.
  3. Hope you have a great time while you're here. You're take on the game is more or less the same as mine. Good luck. Go Big Red!
  4. Good luck against Tech! If ISU can hang 52 on them, you'll be fine.
  5. Ha, another reason the Big Ten is a better conference. A few people bringing them doesn't bother me, they'll get drowned out by crowd noise anyways, I just don't want every sporting event in America to start sounding like soccer matches.
  6. I'm all for loudness, the louder the better. That buzzing sound is just stupid and annoying. This isn't soccer, let them have their traditions. We'll keep ours.
  7. I agree, it's crazy good. He needs to learn to pretend he still has it when he does hand it off though.
  8. We'll walk all over them.
  9. He'll give the halftime speech from Any Given Sunday.
  10. My honest answer would be Crick. He's had a nice year so far, but I'd like to see him take it to another level against Texas.
  11. Did they line up as a QB and take direct snaps or did they just stand next to the QB? I guess it was more of a trick play. The QB would line up behind the center and the center would snap diagonally to the RB. So that's it? Wildcat is just "we're not tricking you. We're just giving it to the RB." ? More or less, yeah. The Wildcat is a formation, not a really a trick play. Like when they lined Burkhead up at QB in the Holiday Bowl. You can run a bunch of different plays out of the Wildcat. Even pass plays. This. Green, Phillips, or any other running back that stands next to the quarterback in the traditional shotgun formation and takes a snap isn't considered a "Wildcat" play. As mentioned this post by The Dude, the Wildcat is a formation and not an actual play. The Wildcat is most effective when you have a quarterback who isn't exactly the most mobile person in the world. Save one failed Wildcat attempt by us against Idaho, the Wildcat doesn't make sense for us because we have an explosive running quarterback. I mean, it could help in various situations depending on the play, but overall I think the Wildcat doesn't do much for us at this point in time. Unless Burkhead can throw, then Taylor lining up at WR could get interesting.
  12. That would be so awful. This isn't soccer and those things are annoying as hell.

  14. Agreed. You can get away with a couple against the teams we've played, but against Texas, Okie Light, Mizzou, A&M, ect... it could really bite us in the butt. Clean up the fumble problem and I don't see us losing to anyone in the country.

  16. I may be the only one who doesn't understand the hate in the first place.. sure the refs dun goofed at the end of the CCG last year, but it never made me hate the Horns or their fans.
  17. "Irresponsible"? I think you're being a little dramatic.
  18. The only time I care at all about long sustained drives is in the 4th quarter, if we have the lead. As long as the offense is putting the ball in the endzone, I don't care how they do it.
  19. My only concern is the fumbles. Don't put the ball on the carpet and we win this game, period.
