NU fan in Denver

No matter how minimal anyone thinks this may be, it is blowing up on the Web. Front page of MSN. Fox Sports is showing it. I am surprised ESPN doesn't have it up yet. "Coaches joke hurts servicemen" Talk about bad press. That sure doesn't shed a positive light on the program.

Is anyone disappointed that we didn't give him a shot in the CCG to kick a 62 yd fg towards the end of the game after our QB took a sack that knocked us out of fg range? He was booming the ball that game, plus it is indoors and on turf. I just feel he was underutilized a bit this year. A Kicker like him doesn't come around very often.

Where was a first down pass? Screen (Not 10, BC is gone). Spread the field with 4 WR and run the ball. The box was stacked and the db's were crashing hard. SW is a great hire M of OH.

Not sure if Watson was even in San D. or if he already took the flight to M of OH. Wow, did the Offensive team get stuck in the snow in NE? I don't know what else to say. They SUCKED.

As long as Taylor says he didn't know anything about it, we are in the clear

This is a big surprise. Bowl CEO wanted Buckeyes elgible "I appreciate and fully understand the Midwestern values and ethics behind that," Hoolahan said. "But I'm probably thinking of this from a selfish perspective."

Cam Newton asside, what they did is not allowed - and if permitted it would open up the doors to pay players through merchandise and other products. If you knew that every time Oklahoma won the Big12 South the Big12 south ring was valued at $35,000 and you could sell that...but nebraska rings run around $500 which college would you choose? Before long USC would be giving $100,000 conferenc championship rings, and $50,000 participation awards to all their players. Why do you think this is ok? My link You read all those conspiracy theorist emails that get forwarded around too huh? ??? It's not a conspiracy theory. It's just a straightforward essay on the dark side of college sports. It's pretty tough to deny the overtones of slavery. Seriously, I love college football, but every time I'm in Memorial Stadium there are about 30 seconds where I remove myself from that atmosphere and think something to the extent of, "This must be what Romans were like watching their prisoners fight to the death in the Coliseum." It's kind of disturbing... But these college players are not required to play. It is a choice that they chose to make.

That's what I was thinking. Pryor will turn pro and never face the punishment. I can't believe they are not suspended for the Bowl Game. Must be too much money on the line to suspend them for a BCS bowl game. What a bunch of hypocritical asshats the NCAA is.

Im not going to put the loss on the d, but that 22/23 yard gain on 3rd down was killer.. I knew if they gained significant yardage, stoops was going to go for it. It seemed we did well when we blitzed the qb, except when we left the rb open out of the backfield. Idk, I figured we could hold them to a gain of 15 or so yards on that play.

Your rant was too long and boring to read in full. The loss was not on the D. Yes they may have given up quite a few yards, but 4 turnovers assisted the OU O. TM has no clue of pocket presence. Of the 7 or so sacks he took tonight, 5 were preventable if he would have made the decision to tuck and run or throw the ball away. Watson's play calling was piss poor to say the least. Where was the Power running game. Seemed to work the very few times it was ran. We do not have very good recievers. Kinnie and McNeil are good, but McNeil is slow and an undersized TE. Good hands and a good route runner, but not a threat. We didn't have a deep threat all game. There were opportunities for shots deep but the personel wasn't there. All in all this game falls on the O and the Offensive coaches.

When did society become so soft that yelling at a player is offensive. You don't think college fb players get yelled at? We don't and will never know what Martinez's actions were that caused the yelling. Bo seems to have a camera folling him all game long and the television stations love to show replays of Bo's rants, but they can't show replays of penalties so the fans can decide for themselves if they were good or bad calls.

Cotton was flags where legit -- one was for the kick and the other was for what he said after the pile was up. They did not show it but you her brent say now there are flags all over the place. He should have been ejected! And the A&M player that was grabbing his nuts should have been ejected as well was suspended next week. But I'm sure the Big 12 will excuse his actions.

This is the only game I can remember where penalties were not shown on replay on tv. As mentioned some were warranted, many were not. Penalties caused a guaranteed 6 point swing. One penalty took us out of fg range and Osbourne's late hit gave a&m a 1st down after a 3rd down stop. That drive resulted in the game winning fg.

Watson's playcalling was mediocre at best. The play action pass off the zone read fake was open all night. I can't believe he didn't call it. Their db's were crashing hard on the run. We've ran the play before. uuuhhhh. So frustrating. Please hire him Colorado!!!

Don't forget that the Big 12 exit fee withheld from NU would be reduced by 500k if NU represents the conference in a BCS game. $500K is a good reason to have some calls go against NU.

It's going to happen more often once NU is in the B10 and CU is in the P12. We won't have anymore PPV games, but we're going to get the short end of the ABC regional programming. I suggest switching to Comcast internet. They aren't any better than Qwest, but they have espn3.com. Ahh yes, but I have the Big Ten Network on Direct TV. That should allow me to watch all the games next year. I hate Comcast anyway. Not that Qwest is any better. It is like trying to decide which you would rather have, hemorrhoids or poison ivy. Probably end up buying a week of gameplan. Then to Fox n Hound next week for PPV.

If you go to espn3.com and look at the games on Sat., you'll see a click next to it that says "(subject to B******)". If you click that link, it will tell you whether the game is blacked out in your area or not. I'm in Denver and it's not blacked out here. Anyone know how to get ESPN 3 through Qwest? ESPN 3 says Qwest is not a supported ISP. espn3.com works on all college campuses if that helps you. Otherwise you're going to need to find a bar where it's playing, or a friend that has a supported ISP. Or you can buy the game on ESPN Gameplan, but I think it's in SD not HD. That's what I figured. Looks like I'll be shelling out dough one way or another. This sucks. I don't recall not getting a televised game here in Denver.

Im sure the Fox N Hounds will show the game. That is where I go for PPV.

What about what Kinnie did today. 3 td catches i believe. First 3 of his career. As for the D, no one gets a game ball when you give up 41 points.

Agree, but you have to admit the refs were questionable at best maybe but i felt like this was the least we had ever been screwed by refs in a nu vs. texas game. Well, the fact that we were penalized 9 - 4 or whatever it was. The totally screwed us on the Prince PI nad missed 2 PI's against our receivers, plus a couple of holding calls. The spot on the last 3rd down was absurd. the back was down 1-1/2 - 2 yards before the first down. The refs screwed us as best they could without making it totally obvious. Not to mention, the catch by #25 that they called incomplete.

4. Roy Helu can be added to the "can't produce against good defenses" list. He seemed to be looking for a place to fall. disagree there. He produced well against OU and VT last year. Two very stout D's.

Josh bullocks left a year early, the year after his 10pics and was coached by Bo. Okay. NU guys do leave early sometimes. Especially if they have a twin brother who they don't want to compete with in the draft. And we bring in a new coach and DC who fundamentally rip apart what Bullocks knew was a sound defensive system. Bullocks is a good point, but his reasons for leaving would be vastly different than Dennard's or Crick's. Derek Brown, Calvin Jones, LP, Ahman Green all left early. It is pretty common for good RB's to leave early. I'd believe Riola, Fonoti and Fabian Washington left early.

Why does there never seem to be a reply to in this thread when there is negative critism.
