Also, for the record, I think we could have a great identity as a run first/option team. But we also have very talented receivers that we should utilize. Some balance is required.

I'm very high on TA, but give RKIII a break. Three weeks ago he saved TA's butt. Such short memories around here. I am not knocking RK, but I think our strength in running the ball, and TA is better at running than RK. The offense is moving the ball, so why change? Although I am missing something, because the offense was stinking it up last week and there was no change at QB. I think he made the change to RKIII because thinks RKIII is better throwing the ball (and generally this is probably true) and we needed to throw to get downfield fast in the 2 minute drill. No idea why we didn't sub out Martinez last week. That was just plain dumb.

Is this UCLA again?

no

With all the actual bad things happening, let's just not nit-pick the not bad things.

RUN THE BALL!!!!!!! 3 passes in a row!!!?!

Hope Q is ok.

This could be a long rest of the season

Arm tackles. Apathy.

Wow. It got Oregon to more national title appearances and BCS games and conference championships than Nebraska in the modern era (BCS Era) What has your "Tradition" done for you since football became a national sport rather than regional? Nothing. No National Titles, 1 Conference Title, You haven't lost less than 4 games in a season for 10 years. Even in 2003 you lost 3 games. Haven't been a threat on a national level since the 90's. I am typically hopeful for Nebraska but when they take unwarranted shots at a program that has built itself into what it is right now, which is a national power, I get a little fired up. Put up or shut up, Oregon got a late start on building a national power, so that automatically makes them irrelevant? Good grief, Oregon has been far superior to Nebraska since 2000. Excuse the harshness, but man that upsets me. In the BCS era: National titles played for: 1 for NU, 1 for Oregon. My ultimate point was this, the article posted...not me.....pointed out that "Oregon had to invent something because they had no titles to build on" the articles words. Not mine. I don't think Nebraska's model to success should be Oregon's. Nebraska doesn't have NIKE's marketing staff, and we seem to be less eager to pay recruits. But hey sorry I sullied your one Rose Bowl victory, your beatdown at the hands of an Ohio St team NU can't seem to beat, a beatdown of a KState team that NU had no problem doing, and your annual bed pooping against an inferior opponent. Honestly, you came to Nebraska board expecting what again? Oregon never paid any recruits. The one recruit that was allegedly recruited unfairly to Oregon, never played a snap for the Ducks. He's now at Baylor. Oregon was just getting started when they lost to Ohio State. Would have you beaten KState last season? No, you wouldn't have. Annual pooping the bed against an inferior opponent? What constitutes inferior? The same inferior that Nebraska loses 2-3 games to every year? ok, yea thats what I thought you meant, too. You speak like Nebraska actually wins big games. Every nationally televised game Nebraska gets housed by 30+ points. What is most embarrassing, is that a program of elite status, is becoming Iowa's big brother with no clear path taking you back the other way.

Pelini responded, “Good. Really good. We’re exactly in the same spot we were a year ago. Don’t like it, but we were here a year ago and we ended up taking care of our business..." I think that's a really telling statement. How in any way did we end up taking care of business a year ago? We got outplayed and embarassed in the CCG on national television (again). Where's the fighting instinct? This mentality can only bleed into the players' outlook. Shouldn't winning the CCG be the only way we took care of business?

Bo, is that you?

Shatel as payback for the Bo's F'in comments about him.

Stopping them on this drive is imrpotant for morale.

I think, just maybe, I see a theme here with your posting...

I think if our offense could get something going, I'd feel a glimmer of hope. Why do we look so different this week than last game?

Is this happening? Again?

Bo didn't really have an answer for Martinez's lack of run game, did he?

NOW we call a Timeout?!?!

That linebacker knew exactly what was coming. No hesitation at all.

And to think the announcers were calling the MN offense "anemic" about 30 minutes ago. We make anemic look amazing.

Just curious, when was the last time we had a QB that was invited to and participated in the Elite 11 competition? I mean, just having him considered in that category isn't enough? I honestly don't know much about it, but it seems like a strange thing to be overly critical of.
