I'd feel a lot better about this post if our OL was at full strength. That's what is really worrying me about this game.

Kansas State game 2007.

The technical fouls happened with 9:14 left in the second half. The score after the foul shots was NU: 45 CU: 51 Nebraska had 9 minutes to come back from a 6 point deficit and couldn't do it. That's on the coaches and the players, not the refs.

SJB tweaked his knee this week? Have I been living under a rock or is this the first time I've heard this?

One mountain range and a few rivers > what Lincoln offers.

USC 2007?

Except for the fact that the color black actually has significance within the football program, whereas green, pink, purple, and yellow do not.

/sarcasm.

Obviously if we wore black uniforms for one game a year it would form a wormhole that would erase all of our past achievements, history and tradition.

We all know these uniforms are fake, but they would still be pretty awesome for an alternative.

This probably has nothing to do with anything, but I wanted to throw it out there. I remember hearing about our team watching tape and preparing for the B1G teams very early, way before fall practices. Is it possible they have spent much more time preparing for these teams than our OOC schedule? I know they still prepare for them, but maybe the defensive plan is different for our OOC schedule than in conference schedule. Yeah, probably not. Just grasping for straws.

I'll play along.

I went to a game last year where a man in his 30s got into a pissing match with an older gentleman because the older man told him to sit down. I'm sure some parts of the stadium are better than others, but this is something I've witnesses a lot.

I'm not trying to pick on you here, but I get kind of tired of this attitude. If we wore black uniforms for ONE game, would it really be such a big deal? I don't think anyone wants to change tradition, but it's fun to switch things up now and then for a brief moment. The whole, "This is how we have always done things, this is how we will always do things, and that's that" attitude wears me down. But then again, maybe I'm not a real fan.

Has the stadium ever had a reputation for a hostile environment, every game? It seems like the trend has always been loud for big games, dull/quiet for not big games. I don't think Memorial Stadium is nationally recognized for loudness. Overall atmosphere, yes.

People still think Bubba is coming?

IF Martinez has an ankle sprain, he should be pretty close to ready next week but for sure ready for aTm. Sometimes an ankle sprain can be worse than an actual break, but if that was the case here TM would not be able to walk without crutches or some type of boot. The way you heal an ankle sprain is by using it a lot through therapy to rebuild and restrengthen the ankle. I think two weeks should be enough for that, but three weeks will definitely be enough assuming it is an ankle sprain. The only thing I'm worried about is after you sprain an ankle once, that ankle naturally becomes slightly weaker and more vulnerable to future sprains or breaks.

Anything out of the top 10 is a joke, in my opinion. We just beat two top 15 teams (BCS rankings) in consecutive weeks. How many teams in the top 10 have done that?

Really quick one I just did.

So one game and you're done with the kid. Good to know.

Pretty sure we need to see both.

Absolutely shocking performance. Hung over from Washington, looking ahead to KSU, or not very good. I'm not sure. Regardless of taking a day off (if that is what happened), we should still have the talent and athleticism to easily beat a Division 1aa team. Did Niles Paul have a catch tonight? I know we didn't throw too much, but can he not get open against SDSU?

Whoever does it, I wouldn't do it in Photoshop. Do it in a program like Illustrator so that it's all vector and fully scalable.

A thursday night game against a team that has a stud RB. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit nervous. But we have almost two weeks to prepare for them. DT will get his yards, but I just don't see them pounding it down our throats all game long. I have to imagine that we'll come out with a good game plan and adjust if needed. Remember, this staff knows how to make adjustments.

Yeah. He's a physical specimen but his knowledge of the game worries me. I'm assuming we'll see Whaley get most of the playing time.
