NU fan in Denver

I hear what you are saying, but just want to point out that Murtha has had 1 shoulder surgery and 3 or 4 knee surgeries the past 12 months. Plus he's only started 2 games this season and played a few snaps in another during the Pitts game. Hard to gauge whether he is a good player or bad player at this point because of to many tangibles. I would much rather see Murtha on the field that Cornhead. Murtha can make the same mistakes Thomas did. At least we are getting experience for the young players and the future.

Of course he will start next year barring and injuries, trouble, or anything of the sort. BC has to start getting his recruits on the field to show what he has done. BJax has seen the field very little this year, and it wouldn't surprise me if he left, hopefully he doesn't. I just don't see Glenn being and everydown IB or HB or whatever they call them now. Maybe some type of hybrid FB/IB, or have him and Lucky on the field at the same time. Maybe they can turn it into a thunder and lightning thing with them like USC has with Bush and White.

Apparently not.

The gospel has spoken.

Losing does that to teams, especially when there is no motivation.

To the guillotine. Off with his head.

It would have been helpful if I had noticed there was a second page before I posted. I might have quoted the post instead of just replying.

Not you, that's for Bakhal

Your start is not looking so hot either.

Won't disagree with that, he is definately "TRYING"

Its gotta be Pedey, he started it, he should be the first to fall.

I said the strength and conditioning program is up. I didn't say that some of the players we are dealing with are monsters to begin with. I could go to the gym and try to get in shape, doesn't mean I could play RT for NU. As far as overall improvement, it's gotta be shown on the field and it hasn't. Maybe the overall scope of the program has improved. In fact the job of college football is to turn boys into good citizens and respectable men. But BC has pulled a few stunts that are far from respectable. I don't think I need to name them. I will agree with you that if any improvements have been made, they haven't shown up on the field.

He is using a qb that has experience in a passing offense.

BC always has the right gameplan to win. S*#t I had the right game plan to win. 1. Don't turn the ball over. 2. Create turnovers. 3. Complete 65% of your passes. 4. Rush for 200 yards. 5. Score more than your opponents. The players just aren't executing. Maybe its time for a new gameplan.

Instead of what have you done for me lately, what have you done for me in the last 2 years. What is your list of improvements and accomplishments over the last 2 years?

I noticed Bowman had good coverage on that td pass, but he didn't look for the ball. I wonder if our players are ever going to start looking for the ball.

So Lucky isn't talented????? BC sure doesn't seem to get him on the field too much.

Oh wow, a BILL...how coinceidental!

You got 5.8 million plus assistant coaches buyout salaries of 1.2 million x 2 years plus a head coach waiting to take over that can keep up with the level of recruiting we are getting? Didn't think so The AD department didn't have a problem finding the $$$ to buy out the previous coaches contracts. I think this is the final year of that. Of course this is going to be a financial blow. It always is when you change staffs before contracts are up. I guess we will gravitate toward mediocrity. Oh wait. That happened a long time ago, we're way below mediocrity now. It would be different if there was improvement from week to week. That stopped after the TT game. It has been getting progressively worse from there. Aside from everyone's excuse of there being no talent and he needs time, this team shows no consistency, dicipline, or motivation. It's not a lack of talent that makes you false start, it is a lack of dicipline. I see the motivation gone. It will surprise me if they get another win before the season ends. Hopefully I am wrong, but I just don't see it.

ESPN LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- The streak is over -- and those crazy Kansas fans wasted little time celebrating. After losing 36 games in a row to once-mighty Nebraska, Kansas went out and routed the Cornhuskers 40-15 on Saturday, sending thousands of fans onto the field at Memorial Stadium for a raucous party that included tearing down the goal posts. "It's awesome. It's awesome," Jayhawks linebacker Kevin Kane said. "They beat us 36 years in a row and we changed it. Nothing's better than this right now." Midway through the third quarter, several thousand Nebraska fans among the stadium-record crowd of 51,750 began quietly filing out. The loss was the third straight for the Huskers (5-4, 2-4), and came two days after coach Bill Callahan was reprimanded by the Big 12 for his apparent throat-slashing gesture at an official in a loss to Oklahoma. A year ago in Callahan's first season, their proud record of consecutive bowl trips ended at 35 in a row. Now another link to the glory days of Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne, who from 1962-97 coached the program to 356 victories and five national championships, has been severed. Simply seeing the streak end was not in itself embarrassing, said Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor. "It was embarrassing in the way it happened," Taylor said. "You don't want to go on the road and lose 40-15 to a team with a losing record. That doesn't speak well for the team." Fans stormed the field despite pleas to stay in their seats by Max Falkenstein, who has broadcast Jayhawk games for 60 years. "I know this doesn't make me very popular in Memorial Stadium right now," Falkenstein said over the public address system. Mark Simmons caught two touchdown passes and Jon Cornish ran 72 yards for another score as Kansas (5-4, 2-4) ended the NCAA's second longest losing streak against an opponent in an uninterrupted series. The record, still current, is 41 wins in a row by Notre Dame against Navy. "It was a great day for our football team," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. The Jayhawks scored seven different ways and have two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver in one game for the first time in 25 years. "Having all those oldtimers come up and thank you for the first win since '68 -- it's such an incredible feeling," linebacker Banks Floodman said. "To be able to give that back to the fans and let them celebrate and have so much fun, and to be able to witness something lots of people haven't been able to witness their entire lives. "Yes, it was one of the best feelings I've ever been a part of." Midway through the fourth quarter, many of the several thousand Nebraska fans began quietly filing out. Six different Kansas coaches -- Don Fambrough, Bud Moore, Fambrough again, Mike Gottfried, Bob Valesente, Glen Mason, Terry Allen -- had come and gone with nothing but losses against the Huskers. "We didn't make the plays that we are capable of making," Callahan said. "It's very disappointing." Said Kane, "We finally took that step where we beat the powerhouse Nebraska. I know they're not the Nebraska of old, but they're still Nebraska." Jason Swanson threw two touchdown passes to Mark Simmons; Cornish had the 72-yard run; Darren Rus returned a blocked punt 20 yards for a TD; Eric Butler tackled Taylor in the end zone for a safety; Kane returned an interception 40 yards for a TD, and Scott Webb kicked a 21-yard field goal and six extra points. "The jubilation in the locker room was unprecedented," Cornish said. "We have never celebrated so hard and been so happy about one victory." During its run against Kansas, Nebraska had routs of 54-0 in both 1979 and '80 and 70-0 in 1986. From 1971-74, the Huskers outscored the Jayhawks by a combined 177-9. Nebraska got a turnover on the Kansas 16 and scored on Cory Ross' 1-yard touchdown run to close the margin to 17-15 midway through the third period. Two plays later, Cornish sped 72 yards up the middle to give the Jayhawks a 24-15 lead over a team they hadn't beaten since Lyndon Johnson was president. A few minutes later, after Kyle Tucker's punt put the Huskers on their own 5, Butler sacked Taylor and Kansas led 26-15. Then, Swanson hit Simmons with a 12-yard TD pass for a 33-15 lead. Swanson also hit Simmons with a 40-yard touchdown pass on Kansas' first possession. Clark Green had 100 yards rushing and Cornish had 101 while Simmons caught six passes for 100 yards. The Huskers had only 32 yards of total offense until Taylor hit Terrence Nunn with a 30-yard TD pass. The melee on the field was somewhat dangerous even for players. "I've got bruises from getting hit by them, not from getting hit in the game," Kane said. "It was great." Interesting quotes: "We didn't make the plays that we are capable of making," Callahan said. "It's very disappointing." Said Kane, "We finally took that step where we beat the powerhouse Nebraska. I know they're not the Nebraska of old, but they're still Nebraska." "I've got bruises from getting hit by them, not from getting hit in the game," Kane said. "It was great."

If he changes his coaching staff and only goes 9-3 it should be time to cut him lose right?

Exactly

Didn't NU comeback and make a game of it after being down 2-17. They closed the gap to 15-17. That has to count for something right?

According to cfbdatawarehouse it was Bill Jennings in 1960 4-6 and 61 3-6-1.
