I don't really like it when guys mention Carnes, Turner, and Starling as an argument why Green might not start. Just because we have seen nothing but high school film and most people thought the same about Green from his high school film. As we have seen from the coaches...they value experience, game management, and playbook knowledge right? So he could start at some point, but this year it is Lee's job to lose. And then next year will tell us if he will ever start a game again.

 

I just don't want to get too hyped up about the newcomers. The potential there is great, but I just can't see a freshman coming in and running this offense.

Enough said right there, EXPERIENCE is the key in college football, statistical anaysis will show that a team with a Jr. Sr. QB will a majority of the time have a better chance of winning the national title. And that is that, we go Lee, then Green for two years, then whoever for 3 years.

How in the world can you put Joshua Mitchell on the roster without him playing? And you do not have Andrew Green who will play some good time this year in a backup capacity.

Quit critiquing everything and just have fun with it, no one is losing site of any game. Let them pump it up. let everyone talk let them be jealous of the love we are getting, let them hate us once more, I LOVE IT, make it the biggest game of the year, the year we have to play in "two" big 12 title games, to take the rights forever. Sit down, crack the beer and wait for a great party.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

And the Draake marketing company makes great promo videos, Husker Experience Room is something you all should do on a boring Tuesday at lunch or something.

If you really want to go back, OU in 01 when Stuntz hit Crouch was the craziest thing I've ever been a part of. The stadium was like one giant living organism with people falling all over each other and ending up 4 rows off where they belonged.

This game was extremely loud, there was a Colorado game in 2000 where Brown hit a field goal with no time left, after Carlos Polk had returned a pick for a TD and spiked the ball (which he called before the game). That was a 4th quarter miracle and it was super loud that day and Barrnett broke his clipboard. HA

yes, watson can recruit.

 

but... can he dance..?!

How about you come to a game and just witness the pageantry and glory and heavenly goodness you will find stepping into the most glorious stadium in the world, sitting next to fan that dislikes your team very much but will say please and thank you. And having your team in a 3rd in 10 down and 3 in the forth while your quarterback is trying to bark calls that no one hears while they are in the snake pit of south stadium. Might want to send your coach an e-mail too, don't let your team out onto the field before the tunnel walk if you don't want them to have to change jock straps before kick-off. RIGHT

(By the way guys, the shoe thing? Done way before at other colleges)

Thanks Nexus. I found this board a year ago and i am very impressed at the actual intelligent conversations that go on in this board unlike other boards (huskerpedia, sorry i don't like that board) and i think i annoy my friends with how much i try to talk about the huskers, so i figured i'd join so i can talk Nebraska whenever.

Anyway, Yeah thats what i was thinking. Do we know how many seats they are thinking of adding?

 

Glad to have you here.

 

I'm not sure how many, but if I had to guess I'd say between 10-15k? That'd put us between 90-95k capacity.

 

 

All the numbers I've heard floated around campus this summer have been between 5-7.5k. This would expand the east stadium seating to be on par with the west stadium and add additional private/corporate sky boxes. If you think about it, most games average between 85-86k, adding another official 6k would make our official listed capacity 87k, but games would then hold around 93-94k.

 

Also the number stated by the ath department was that there are 3k on the waiting list for tickets? How is this so low? Most people I know wait years for their tickets, I assumed the list was at least 15-20k.

When the hated man Steve built the new seats there were about 10000 people on the list. The stadium will not expand until the are absolutely positive the seats will get sold. Season tickets are expensive, and the cost of a street ticket has dropped dramatically since the new seats opened. Contrary to popular belief the street price of a ticket is very important to a university, they must remain high because ticket price on face value will have to fall if there are too many seats. Project also will not be done till about three years after they start. Even more off some of the new seats in the north are no donation seats, if you build more seats and ask for a donation on top I doubt you will have 4000 people paying face plus a donation. Lastly club seat ticket holders, i.e. docters, lawyers, rich turds and the like are never there at the start and leave before the forth quarter so who want those losers in the stadium anyway, it might hurt their legs if they have to stand for more then five minutes a game. Expansion will not happen for at least 5 years, and probably longer.

Turner no doubt, but very possibly carnes.

 

but who are we kidding???? Lee is going to make you miss him after this season.

No doubt in that statement about Zac "Ruthless Pump Fake" Lee

Well we did play arizona last year, who beat USC, who slapped Ohio State around (in columbus) and made them look like a bunch of girls...

you can youtube the highlights of that game if you search '2009 Holiday bowl.'

I'm pretty sure Ohio state beat iowa, penn state AND mechicken

 

Seriously, why does everyone in the big10 have such an erection for michigan? Even clownahan beat them. sheesh!

 

Well we know you did NOT watch the Ohio State/USC game last year! 18-15 winning on a last minute drive...yeah that's HARDLY slapping someone around like a little bunch of girls. USC took it to us big time in the 2008 matchup when they beat us at the coliseum 35-3 but anyone who knows football knows USC didn't dominate last years game whatsoever. That game was lost by Tressel with his "kick a FG instead of scoring TD's" theory while Carroll went on 4th downs regardless of the placement. You might wanna get level headed and not become like Michigan fans who thought it was their' right of passage just because of the name of the University. Cause if you think you're coming in the Big Ten and just gonna own teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan(if they improve) then you got a serious rude awakening coming. These aren't no doormat teams. I know plenty of Husker fans who aren't thinking in this type of light and to them i say "Welcome to the Big Ten" and i'm esctatic for the future of this conference with Nebraska joining. Hopefully Mizzou, Kansas, and ND come join too...i hope

Sorry to break it to you, but your slow players will have no chance against our speed, your defenses will have no stopping power because you will have to play one linebacker all the time. Second off try to score a touchdown against Bo Pelini, just see how hard it is when you face about 4 third downs on every drive. Welcome to the BigNebraska conferencek, and yes there are doormat teams in the league it will just be hard to realize your one of them. HA. Ok that may have been harsh, its all in good fun, don't take me to seriously.

This sucks is going to be much more expensive to go to away games now. Hope we win the last big12 title

I kindly disagree with assessment that Kinnie is better then Niles as a Junior. Just sayin that Kinnie won't have the stats this year that Niles had last year, and I do not believe he is as fast. Some game changing performances might change my opinion. And the big 10 sucks

Drank a few beers and peed on a fence?

 

Death.

 

It's the only viable option at this point.

College kid and a beer? Never should happen. I hope all those skybox owners that somehow have a bar in their box take notice. No beer for anyone in the football program. Guys from the Osborne era would have brawls on O St. way worse than this.

College kids like to party, whats the big deal, not driving not a problem.

He will have to prove alot to be upper, examples of quick success like Larry Cocker ( I don't know if I spelled that right, old Miami dude) come to mind. Long term, long term, long term. Its like saying Kiffen is elite when the douche has done nothing, or Richey Rich, or Slick Rick or whoever. And no more personal fouls on himself ever would be great.

Pretty sure the running backs mainly Roy Sissy Helu lost us the Iowa State game.

Lawrance Phillips

Who cares what he does? He can do what ever he damn well pleases, hes having fun and there is no guarantee he would be a top level wideout, or a top level baseball star. College is the time to figure things out and he has five years to choose a sport, who are you to judge a young man and sporting competition.

If this happens it will be almost my worst nightmare, worst ever nightmare.

If they do not get the CBA figured out, then there might not be a 2011 season. Depending on how long it takes to get things figured out between the players and the owners, the thought of a lockout will keep a lot (most) juniors in college for another season, I would think.

Even if there is no CBA there will still be a draft, your right it will juniors will stay because there will be no more huge contracts after next seasons draft.

so i never said i'd take these two over Swift and Peterson. please don't tell me you are trying to say you think Gilmore is a good coach and actually develops players. i'm pretty sure that's not even up for debate.

That is exactly up for debate, and I made my point poorly. I'm pointing out that nobody was complaining about the WR production after the 2008 season. Swift and Peterson were also guys Gilmore developed. You have to look at Gilmore's successes as well as failures. I'm not saying Gilmore has done a great job or anything, but I'm not convinced he's doing a bad one either.

Well here's a question here for you. Do you really think Gilmore developed those guys? Swift's best season was possibly his Freshman year. You could say his Senior season was better, but honestly not much. You also have to realize that both Swift and Peterson have naturally good work ethic. Maybe that wasn't the case for Holt and Brooks? Not saying they weren't hard workers but maybe they needed to be inspired more than Swift and Pete. I just don't think you can necessarily call Swift and Peterson "Gilmore's successes." I would classify them as personal successes.

 

And to whomever posted that Gilmore is a darn good recruiter: I haven't noticed much WR talent coming in and any big time recruit, regardless of the position, seems to be pulled in by JP

Haha you would? You were at practice everyday making sure Swift and Peterson were notes taking Gilmores advice? On sitting in zones, first step directions, and stop and gos, ect. They taught it all to themselves? Give me a break man, if Paul goes for 1000 yards in no way is Gilmore a factor? Please give me a better argument next time

You ruined the game man and didn't make a new over/under

I guess over for pizza even though thats been done

----------------------------------------------------

Over/Under

60% of fans pushing Green aside for Taylor Martinez

Henery actually and Adi split kick off sometimes under Callahan for those who do not know. And this idea has been around for two years and is not new, probably should do it, remember Nebraska always has good kickers(-Congdon) because they have to practice in the wind.

yeah he will rise to his backup position yeah....

Well put and so true, you will all bow to the Zac Lee ruthless pump fake TD bombs

I'm sorry to all you Helu lovers out there, but I agree with the guy. Not for his opinions about the line play, but Roy's inconsistencies and constant injuries make for him to labeled "over-rated". With out any true definition of the word it is hard to explain exactly, but Roy will never be the back some of you think he will be, he is no Brandon Jackson. He just doesn't have the BEASTMODE factor.
