Section26

Personally I'm glad Pelini did this. I'm always a fan of seeing the media knocked down a peg or two. Tom Shatel is the worst. He has an unbridled sense of entitlement that came through in shining colors in his incredibly ironic "article" where he was whining about Pelini's whining.

I used to live in Vegas, and would go to Torino's. It's a decent watch site. The food is just okay, they have some specials. The atmosphere is pretty good though. It's about 3 miles west of the strip ($15 cab ride) on Flamingo. They still play every game.

I'm sorry, but who are the other two "powers" in your West Division? Iowa and Wisconsin are at least traditional powers. They may not be Nebraska level, but then again, Nebraska isn't exactly Nebraska over the last 10 years.

I wouldn't mind leaving the Big 12. The whole league is Texas' anyway. They always whine until they get their way on every single issue. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Big 12 title being played in Austin annually within the next 5 years. We move to the Big 10, and have an east/west division with: West- Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Northwestern, Wisconsin East-Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue You'd have 3 powers in each division. As for the Big 12, they could move both Oklahomas up to the North, and invite TCU to come in to the South. That would balance out that division better anyway. Additionally, this would enable us to schedule OU every year, as an OOC rivalry much easier.

Peter King polled the league, and Suh is "the most desirable defensive player to come out of college in a decade" and will absolutely be the #1 pick. Hearing it from Kiper is one thing. Hearing it from the majority of the NFL is another. Heisman who?

This is a good thing. This is the thing everyone hit Callahan for. He refused to change his offense to fit his personnel. The sign of a really good coach is one who takes the time to change the offense if it isn't working. A bad, ego-driven coach refuses to change, and thinks the player should change their playing style to fit the system.

You can honestly see ANY team blowing us out? Let's remember that 7 of the points in that Texas Tech game was scored on a 75 yard fumble recovery for TD. We have not allowed 30 points all year. No one is blowing this defense out, short of the '07 New England Patriots.

Hopefully others have noticed we tend to play down, or up to our competition depending on who they are. I'm not real impressed with Arizona. Their win against USC was "meh". USC had clearly given up on the season long before that game started. They are not that impressive of an opponent. I could see us absolutely dismantling them (something like 35-0) if our offense clicks like they did against bad opponents early in the season. I could also see a very tight, low scoring game either way. The only scenario I don't see is them blowing us out.

Does anyone else think McCoy looks like Corky from Life Goes On?

I don't think Suh would have become a Heisman level player for many other coaches. Suh would be the first one to tell you that. We really have to thank Pelini & Co. as much as we do Suh. We have some offensive work, but for as long as we have the Pelini's, I don't think we ever have to worry about our defense again. And that is a load off my mind.

When SEC teams knock each other off, its good teams battling each other and playing good football in the deep south. When Big XII teams do the exact same thing, its the end of the conference, and no one respects us. It's a wonder anyone reads anything anymore that the biased sports media of the country pumps out each day

I think the point of the thread is, while many people have been sounding off about how the Big 12 will never let Nebraska get to "golden boy" Colt McCoy for whatever reason, it actually makes more financial sense for the Big 12 to be biased toward us, rather than against us. Not that I believe they are every truly "biased". And while it might make more financial sense to back Nebraska, it obviously makes more sense from a viewership/pride standpoint to back Texas, who can represent in the title. In any case, I'm usually one of the last ones to blame a game on the refs, or point the finger at a conference backing one team over another.

For right now, Cody Green has shown that he isn't ready for the big time games. He's fine against the Baylor's, but he isn't quite there mentally yet. Nothing wrong with that, he's only a true freshman. If we're down 3-4 TD's, toss him in there and let him get the experience.
