I lol'd!

And that's how a lot of people feel about the Big 12 North. But that doesn't mean a great player shouldn't be commended for their accomplishments. Especially when two people attending have had very sub par years and don't deserve to go based on their career history.

I disagree. I think Spiller was much more beneficial to Clemson than Gerhart to Stanford. Just look at Spiller's all purpose yards and TDs. He touched the ball in so many different aspects of play, the only player to have a TD in every game, and holds the ACC record for most all purpose yards! He was the game changer in offense, special teams, break out speed, etc. He almost won the conference title game by his own doing. Kind of, well, just like Suh! The only travesty here is that two undeserving and unworthy QB (Tebow and McCoy) got an invite because of all the hype around them instead of Spiller. This year those two QB were all talk and no show! And Suh should win... it's not even close!

If I remember correctly Herbstreit almost blew his wad on that play. I don't think they were laughing at the fact the holding was happening, they were laughing at the fact that Texas was trying anything and everything to stop Suh and he just dominated them no matter what they did. I will say, I thought Herbsteit was fantastic during that game. A lot of spotlight on our defense and how great a coach and job Pelini is and is doing. He did hammer our offense, but I mean come on, how could he not. Herbsteit at one time said, "If he (Suh) isn't invited to NY for the Heisman Ceremony it is a travesty." I know most of this has to do with the tOSU connection we have going, but still nice to hear from whiney boy. Herbstreit is notorious for not giving Nebraska any credit for anything. So it was nice to hear him talk endlessly about Suh, the defense and the Pelinis. I even heard him say a couple of times that they nearly fell off their seat cheering for the offense and wanted them to make some plays. Quite a nice change!

That was hilarious! Ruud stole that show even with Rodgers call! I lol'd @ Ruud saying I knew it had to be Rozier, Rodgers, Crouch or Frazier and you are going to have to stroke my ego now! Great listen! TFS

Good read! I really wish that our offense would go to back to primarily smash mouth football. I think the Huskers have a better chance to recruit great players for those positions, and I just plain miss seeing it! Welcome to the Board!!

I love how the what's taken from the article are really only positives related to Watson. This article by Shatel was how Watson would be around in 2010 even though Shatel himself and the majority of fans don't want him back. Shatel's theory of TO originally keeping Wats around was due to continuity since the 2007 offense was good. But obviously there's been a huge fall since then. And Shatel also states that any offense that needs a veteran QB who could qualify for AARP (haha) led by a fifth year senior, Joe Ganz is WAY too complicated. He states that Green would be our starter, but the offense is ridiculously complicated. And... that Bo is a simple man and the WCO is too complicated with no real identity. If Wats doesn't get things figured out and/or if the bowl game has the same time of ineffective offense, then he could be gone after this season. And quite frankly, I think they should get rid of ALL of the Callahan staff!! Get any trace of him out of Cornhusker nation!! Shatel is, at times, full of hot air, but I thought this article was a pretty good read.

His creepy smile bothers me more than his eyes. But the combination of eyes + smile is super freaky!

Yeah, I totally agree with this article. That clock couldn't look more unofficial or superimposed if they tried. I just wish Suh and Co had blocked that field goal so the egregious error and one second addition to the time clock would still be foiled and they could shove it up their you know what!! Although, in that case, they would have called a penalty, moved Texas closer to the field goal, and added two seconds with the way things were going! The black and white really screwed us this time. Game was over and there was nothing to cause a review and no "egregious error"! And nice to see that Anderson has no bias to Texas whatsoever....

I have no problem with someone showing emotion. That would be a disappointing way to end your college season... especially with the expectation of beating Alabama and playing for a NC. But I do have a problem with Tebow in most circumstances because he is FAKE!! There isn't a genuine bone in that kid's body! I feel like all the peace, love, and harmony along with yelling constantly, etc is so attention seeking it makes me sick! Think of all the Huskers and college football players across the nation that believe in God or are doing charity work but don't feel the need to hunt down ESPN and relay their goodwill. A good dose of humility would serve him good. But with all the attention he received from Saturday, plus the fact that he got an undeserving invite to New York after a lackluster season (CJ Spiller deserved that last spot), shows me that he won't be coming down to earth any time soon.

Pretty sure you're talking about the Oklahoma game where Lee took a pounding. Coincidentally, they only showed his parents after he took a particularly vicious hit. I wouldn't be smiling if that was my kid, either. Lee's parents have looked like that in every game. But I think the one Kara was talking about was the K-State game. They looked unhappy the entire time - even when everyone around them was cheering. As far as the QB, start Green. If it doesn't work out, then go back to Lee's lousy play. But next year, Lee better be the 4th string QB!!

I know the media slobbers all over him, but he's seems like a very decent and humble kid. He's very religious and donates a lot of his time to charity. I can't wait for him and Florida to go away, but I won't bad mouth him. He could be a great kid... but to me it seems like nothing more than a media ploy and act! He doesn't seem in the least bit sincere. The act is getting old and the yelling is downright absurd! I feel the same way about Colt! They both look like asses that act like such amazing people. I say it's about time they received the right awards which are far from a Heisman and more like an Emmy/Oscar!

We may have lost the game, but at least we took McCoy out of the Heisman conversation. And some of the sting of this loss could be taken away if they actually invited the best college football player to New York... SUH! In my wildest dreams....

I'm not saying that Cotton is an O-line God, but c'mon, we don't have the talent we had in the 90's, may never again, to push a top flight D-line around when they're stacking the box. Perhaps the scheme could be changed and the talent upgraded, but thats not going to happen over the course of two seasons. What if we had even average QB and WRs that Ds would have to account for? Wouldn't that make our O-line seem that much better? The right coach can make huge improvements on our O line. Just like the Pelini's changed our D. It's not necessarily who you have for talent, but what you do with that talent and how you coach them. You can be the best QB in college football and have great WR to boot, but without a good O line, you accomplish nothing --> see Sam Bradford and Oklahoma! Their pass protection is fine. When there is virtually no threat through the air (due to our horrible receivers and qb) and the defense stacks up to stop the run, what the hell do you expect? I don't think our line is good either, but the threat of a passing game could change things greatly. Given that there is enough time to establish a passing threat... and Lee has had nothing but pressure all season. Did you watch tonight's game. How many times did he have more than one second before a blitz broke through? Very few! Ok, we expect that w/ Texas D, but not w/ ISU, TTU, etc. A superior O line can make even a mediocre QB, RB, or WR look like God's gift to football. It all starts at the line, and our O line is no good and is poorly coached!

He looked pretty frustrated to me. After watching him get sacked for the eighth or so time and another three and out... he chucked the ball pretty hard to the ground. He lost his cool a lot! I thought Lee kept it together better than he did! Wow, what a great Heisman moment McCoy! lol Mack is completely classless. And the reason Texas is disliked is because they don't win or lose w/ any grace or humility!

If Watson stays, he needs to throw his big a*s playbook in the trash. Stick with what works and realize that college offenses don't have the time to learn and master all those plays and that we can't recruit the talent to make the WCO successful. We can't compete with the likes of Texas, USC, Florida, etc. Once we get an OC that realizes that or once Watson gets his crap together, our offense will once again succeed.

+1 I think that using the "we will pull you at any time method" has been completely ineffective and has served on point other than screwing w/ our offense and adding MORE problems to the mix. It left our offense w/o any identity and they never really had the chance to master any plays because no one ever knew who was starting or what was happening. I just thought that whole situation was screwy. Support your starter and show some freakin' confidence in them!

I think Green will be our starting QB as soon as he either learns the whole playbook or is allowed to use it. When he did start he only ran a handful of plays so we really didn't get a legit chance to see what he's capable of. I think he'll be dynamic, with another year under his belt and a better grasp of the playbook I'm confident that he'll be our starting QB next year. That's part of the problem though. You don't need 500+ plays to have a successful offense - ask TO. Watson just needs to figure out what works for his players and call to their strengths. Variations of 10-15 solid plays gives us our troubled offense the ability to master plays and be successful. And at this point, unless someone else shows promise between now and next season, I think Green will be getting the start.

No, I will not admit that there was more than one second on the clock. And I have a hard time wrapping my mind around even one second when that play was blown dead w/ zero seconds on the clock. The game should have been over at that time. I think they watched every player put their heart out on the field, and the Pelini's felt they should have the win. Some of it might have been riding high emotions as Bo is known for, but he wants fair treatment for a hard fought and ugly offensive season led by a superstar defense. The Neb offense played nearly as good as the Texas offense and our D did play like superstars. It's nice to see TO support Bo and to see Bo's passion for what he believes is right.

I personally think Green will be our man. Some have a problem with him, but at this point I don't even think we can judge the type of player he is or will be. He's thrown into games at obscure times w/ so much pressure on him i.e. Texas Tech and Texas. I think he is young, and it shows in his playing and decision making - something that will improve w/ playing and experience. But he is a double threat w/ running and passing when needed. I don't think Watson's WCO really fits any of our recruits, but I think Green could be the one given some time and work through this upcoming year. I would like to have Gabbert as a backup, but if Watson stays as OC, he might be better for that type of offense. Heck, Kody Spano could end up starting next year pending no injuries! lol But I really don't want Lee to start next season! I'm still a Green fan at this point...

The Longhorn/A&M game was a spectacular game! I was cheering so loud for the Aggies and was disappointed when Texas won. Thanks for the compliments and congrats on your season as well! Good luck next year!

Limitations on Reviewable Plays ARTICLE 6. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable. However, the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable. This excludes fouls that are not specifically reviewable (Reviewable fouls: Rules 12-3-2-c and d, 12-3-4-b and 12-3-5-a). Your wrong again, and you KNOW that there was one second left anyway. Stop focusing on the wrong reasons we lost. I'm disputing it due to the fact that the ref whistled the play over w/ zero seconds left on the clock. There was no reason to review the play for any reason! And if it were at any other point in the game - say the end of second quarter - that one second would not have been applied to the clock! This isn't the first time this has happened. I've seen it before. It happened in the Notre Dame-SC game this year, the clock went to 0:00 than the replay officials reviewed it and 1 second was put back on the clock and ND ran another play from the 4 yard line. Frustrating yes, groundbreaking no. Well given the fact that officials all over college football have been calling bad calls doesn't surprise me. Atleast the SEC took action when it happened two weeks in a row and suspended them. Well, the one second given to Notre Dame didn't give them a win - although that doesn't make it right. Otherwise there would have been a major outcry from USC fans! But officials can't pick and choose when they are going to review a play and add time to the clock. It can't be done just to help the other team win! If it wouldn't be added in the first quarter, then you can't do it when the clock says 0.0! And that is why I will continue to dispute that ridiculous call! I completely understand your frustration, but to be honest the clock review was far less frustrating to me than Watson's play calling, Watson's lack of creativity, Watson's predictability, Adi's kicking the ball out of bounds, Asante's horse collar, Niles not being able to catch the football and Musburger and Herbstreit not mentioning Suh as a Heisman contender. Oh, I totally agree. We had nothing to lose so I didn't think Watson would be as conservative with his play calling. I thought he would get more creative given that fact. But the play calling was terrible. We should have went for a first down in the last minute and a half instead of calling a ridiculous running play that gained no yards and then kicked a field goal. That would have given us a whole new set of downs to burn the clock, possibly get six points instead of three, and would have given Texas virtually no time. Then the kick out of bounds and the horse collar could be irrelevant. The PI calls are frustrating too especially considering one of the passes wasn't intended for anyone! But, obviously, the one second added to the clock really burns my butt!

Cotton's coaching of the O line has been a joke all season. It was obvious that Texas didn't respect our run or pass... but I'm not sure many teams do. But w/o opening up a decent running game, passing wasn't much of an option. And neither can be done effectively w/o a good O line. Cotton is on my list of first to go when they clean house. He can also take his son w/ him who cost our offense at least two crucial false start penalties.

I thought he showed a lot of attitude when Green took a few snaps. He seemed to be talking back to Watson... but more than anything, he looked like a little kid throwing a fit. And I agree, when your coach talks, look him in the eye. He just seemed disrespectful tonight. Although, I didn't ever think he was our man, just all we had at the time. Kind of how I feel about Watson....
