  1. You want one from American history? Look up Indian boarding schools.
  2. Well he seems to have made it clear he isn't going back to the status quo.
  3. Just my theory but the easy fixes may have had more to do with the players than the coaches. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Then again that brings up the question of why they weren't benched? And maybe that goes back to playing guys who practice well and not gamers that some harp on. Bo's admitted that he screwed up by sitting some of the younger talent and maybe that's where he thinks the fixes are. Just my two cents.
  4. From the sounds of it, Turner is going to be our return man. In a way, I really like that, but another part of me doesn't think its a good idea. If he does, in fact, become our PR/KR guy, he runs forward, and no more running 10 yards back to find a hole. Great guy, player and very athletic, but stuff like that can be a game changer if he gets stuffed. He is pretty much sure hands too, which I like. Flashes of Niles Paul in my head...
  5. Didn't say you did, it was more a a rhetorical point about how messed up I think things are.
  6. The simple point that they overglorify the entire SEC as this unstoppable juggernaut. Bottom-feeders or not, our Northwestern beat 2 SEC teams on the field. End of story. SEC is the best. That's not the argument. They are not nearly as far ahead as ESPN and the talking heads want you to think. That is the actual point. ESPN does glorify the SEC and I will take nothing away from Northwestern's wins but neither Mississippi State nor Vanderbilt beat a team in the FBS that finished with a winning record. They were thought of highly enough to almost crack the top ten in the BCS before for their losses and only drop out of the top 25 after three consecutive loses...
  7. Yup, St. Joe's in Lincoln that was how he started out his homily. WAY wrong preacher to give it too.

      IE is horrid IMO. I use Firefox on my home comp, and Chrome at work.

  9. South O? What city is that in? Not from Nebraska? O in Lincoln runs East West, and we all know Lincoln is better than Omaha.
  10. And back in his day they had to walk in 3 feet of snow with no shoes just to get to practice. Up hill both ways. I remember that ...LOL I walked to school the same way.... GBR!!! Funny so did my dad!
  11. My grandfather, who's ranch was in the sandhills, had a hired hand from Mexico, and his wife taught my grandma real mexican cooking. Her enchilada's could take the siding off of a house, but damn they were good... Never had a tamale better than my grandma's yet. Or a tortilla for that matter.
  12. Please read this article and let me know how you explain all the numbers away. http://m.espn.go.com...604&src=desktop The SEC out scored opponents by a combined 85 points: - This is a pretty irrelevant stat on it's own for many reasons, but the best one is that 2/3 of the points came from just two game (Bama and aTm), and if you assume that everyone else won buy a touch down then you basically have the remaining points. Not so dominating by the rest of the pack. They dominated bowl records: - The B1G fielded one BCS team and lost, with a 12-0 team sitting out the post season. The SEC fielded two and went 1-1. Head to head they were 2-1 against us. Both wins were pretty tight games as well. Yes they have a much better bowl record overall, but you can easily argue that they had better match ups than the B1G, more than likely a result of the OSU dq (Texas Tech vs Minn, Okie lite vs Purdue, and maybe Nebraska vs Georgia). They finished with 5 top 10 teams: -This is why the BCS is so screwed up. They began the season with nearly the whole damn conference ranked. So when a team loses in conference play they're not going to drop as far to start with. And then everyone plays a week OC schedule so you have no real meter to measure them with anyway. After that it just becomes self fulfilling prophecy when it comes to rankings and strength of schedule. I'll admit that the SEC is probably the better conference as far as the top tier teams go, but only just. However, they are not what some would make them out to be.
  13. This SEC is god's conference talk is so contrived. Despite what the talking heads and the BCS itself would have you think they're really not head and shoulders above everyone else. The B1G itself is just about on par with any other conference including the SEC.
  14. It's ok everyone has a guilty pleasure, mine's Ten Things I Hate About You. The Notebooke is just way to cheesy for me, and I have to watch with the gf if it's on...
  15. Billy Mays here!!! Love Chipotle but hate the anal bleeding?
  16. We've never fired a coach who never won less than 9 games every year.
  17. Just for reference, this is what it is supposed to look like.
  18. This board is painfully slow in the evening when I need to procrastinate the most.

  19. Maybe for the same reasons as having an apparently unsecured breaker box to the right of the sink . . . Hey, those can be hard to get into sometimes...
