  1. You guys may want to start looking at Stanton to back up Taylor this year.

     

    Umm...why?

    Thought I would chime in again and tell you what I meant now that the news is out that Tommy had additional surgery to clean up his knee. Questionable as to when he will be ready to go again as he has been held out of practice.

  2. ...run up the score. So, y'all have a shot no matter what anyone says. I like CMR a lot, but he's known for not putting away teams the way he should. Wouldn't be surprised to see your guys come out jacked up and take advantage of some early vanilla play-calling. We shall see.

     

    BTW, how do I get into this Brony Pony Posse?!?! chuckleshuffle

     

    This would be the first time all year this has happened in a game that mattered. I wouldn't bet on it.

  3. 1. Update and re-calibrate the positioning and direction of the sound system. Oklahoma State has a similar set up that we have, but due to the direction and positioning of the speakers, their system functions much better than ours for the fans.

    2. Eliminate 90% of the graphics. Snitily Carr and Huskervision no longer have the staff to pull of the graphical vision that they have for the tunnel walk. Snitily lost their graphics badass, and this years tunnel walk made it obvious. I am fine with the stadium animation stuff, but it should not be the focus.

    3. Effort. The tunnel walk has become lazy. We are revisiting the same themes, quotes and stats for every tunnel walk, and they are being displayed in similar manners year after year where it has become boring and predictable. New ideas haven't been generated since the the air drop debacle.

    4. Video Production. Write a script and tap into the fans emotion. It goes much deeper than what music you pick, although I know fans seem to be stuck on that. There is no reason, with the down time of the Huskervision crew that once the sporting season ends, we can put 110% effort into creating an amazing film-esk introduction for our fans. I can't tell you how little there is to do in the studio once the sporting season comes to an end. They have months to focus on getting ready for the following year. There needs to be more effort here.

     

    Those are some of my thoughts. let me be clear. the atmosphere that Huskervision has created for gameday is heaps and bounds better than it was in 2006 before the HD upgrade. They have done a marvelous job with the addition of the ribbon boards, features and graphics. That being said I think the tunnel walk has suffered greatly. And with the loss of staff over the past year, I don't see it getting any better any time soon unless they make a fundamental change in the direction of their thinking and preparation.

    So in other words....... What your really sayin is....... They just need you back huh?

    The stuff you guys did was AWESOME!

    I do miss it, and would love to work exclusively on the tunnel walk but they can pull off great things with what they have available. They definitely don't need me to make the tunnel walk great again.

  5. I hate these threads.

    We shouldn't be focused on anything but who we play next week. Anytime I start to think about how high we could climb in the polls... We lose.

     

    I guess for me thinking about the polls is just bad luck.

    As fans its fun to speculate... as long as the players aren't doing it we'll be fine.

  6. If we win out, which we should... I would guess we will enter the rose bowl around 8 or 9?

     

    I can't see it getting that high even with winning out. The Big Ten has no respect nationally this year.

    The teams ahead of us that that will most likely lose.

    #20 Texas Tech - Small chance they could lose to Texas Nov 3rd. They should rise in similar position with us to the end.

    #19 Boise State - Nobody, their schedule is weak we will most likely jump them.

    #18 USC - Will most likely lose to Oregon and Notre Dame, with a possibility to drop a 3rd game to UCLA. We would pass them

    #17 Miss St - Have to go through Texas A&M and LSU, most likely will drop one game.

    #16 - Texas A&M - Still has to go through Alabama and Miss St., will most likely drop 1 game

    #15 - Standford - Still has to go through Oregon State, Oregon and UCLA (They also will play a Pac12 Title Game), Most likely to drop 1-2 of these games.

    #14 - Oklahoma - West Virginia is the only team left for them, they should have a pretty easy road. Will most likely stay ahead of us.

    #13 - Oregon State - Must go through Stanford and Oregon, with a slightly tough game against ASU, I could see them losing most likely one, possibly two.

    #12 - Louisville - Should win out, with their last tough game being against an overrated Rutgers team. We may jump them due to SoS

    #11 - South Carolina - Last remaining tough game is against Clemson. Could drop that game, but won't make it to the SEO title.

    #10 - Clemson - Last remaining tough game is against South Carolina. Could drop that game, but most likely won't make it too the conference title unless Florida State Loses

    #9 - Florida State - Has to go through Florida, and will most likely lose. Also will play in the ACC championship game, but will win most likely. We may jump them after their loss.

    #8 - Florida - Has to take on Florida State but should finish the season with all wins. Will most likely not play in the SEC title game. They will remain ahead of us.

    #7 - Georgia - Should win out, but may lose in the SEC title game. They will remain ahead of us.

    #6 - Ohio State - Still has to play Michigan and Wisconsin, but I don't see them losing. No post season play. They will remain ahead of us.

    #5 - LSU - has to play Miss St and Bama, most likely lose one game. Will remain ahead of us.

    #4 - Notre Dame - still has to play USC but should go out with all wins. Will remain ahead of us.

    #3 - K State - Has to finish against Texas, but should go undefeated.

    #2 - Oregon - Yet to play USC, Standford, and Oregon State. Could finish undefeated, but would have to play USC or UCLA in the Pac12 title agian. Most likely to win out, could lose 2 games.

    #1 - Bama - Yet to play LSU and A&M, most likely to go undefeated but could drop 1-2 games after the SEC title game.

     

    With all these, I would revise my estimate and put us around #12-#13 entering bowl season if we win out.

  7. Of course we can't count our chickens before they hatch but this is a message board. The sound of 11-2 and a Rose Bowl berth sounds more like Nebraska football to me. Sure it wouldn't be the MNC but would still be a great year and a major spring board to next season where the schedule gets easier.

     

    We are not an 11-2 team, even with our soft schedule....

    Granted we have become quite good at laying eggs at important times, but we will be favored in every game from here on out. It's not a crazy statement.

  8. SIAP - Wisconsin QB Joel Stave is out for the year with a broken collarbone. Never like to see this happen, but with Wisconsin all but guaranteed a trip to Indy, this gives us absolutely no excuses to miss out on the B1G title if we get there.
