  1. Well the "real" draft expert (aka Kiper) has Suh higher than McCoy on his draft board and mock draft. He even said Suh was the best DT he's seen in his 32 years of covering the draft. So I am gonna believe him more than the other douches.
  2. You must be thinking of Gerald.
  3. So does it sound like green wont be making it? I believe the plan is for him to be here for the spring game. K thanks. I heard that he was coming for the spring game, but I thought he also said something about trying to make it to our junior too.

  5. More I think about it, if we'd have won all three games, i'm not so sure we'd have gotten some NC game consideration... That's what I was wondering. Even though we got beat pretty bad against TTech it might have been far enough in the season's past that we might had a chance at the NC game. But then I wondered if it would have been the year that Boise or TCU; maybe Cinci gets in... I'm not sure but fun to ponder! So we may have been just 4 points away from possibly being in the NC game? That's a crazy thought! Gets me even more anxious for the season to start and even more pumped on I dont think we would have been in the NC, I really think that the voters would have voted for Florida to play Bama for an SEC CG rematch. They wouldnt want an non-BCS school and lets face it, Cinci isnt much bigger than Boise and TCU. I think if we would have won those three games, we would have been third, ahead of Cinci, Boise, and TCU, but the lost to TTech would hurt us. Thus, there would have been an SEC CG rematch and the possible end of the BCS.
  6. Not when its all under snow. Although I do agree that it was a reason for all the analysts to pick Florida, even though I believe it is one of the lamest reasons to pick a team.
  7. It does show all positions, but it's relevant simply because WRs are, of necessity, included. That's if this list is accurate, of course, which isn't a given. It's just a bare reference, that's all. yea ok I get you now, I just thought you were asking why the one list only had eight and the other on had over 200. my bad
  8. Here's their list for 2008 (note the huge disparity in the number of people listed here: The 2008 list has 241 players, while the 2009 has eight. No source is cited for these numbers that I could see, so take them with a grain of salt, I guess. Anyway, if Rivals' reported time of 4.5/40 for Reed is accurate, that means he's got above-average speed, if these times are anything to go by. the 2008 list looks like it shows all positions. it has zack bowman and steve octavien and I'm pretty sure they weren't receivers
  9. Didn't you also project OWA to be N? yea i think ez has lost all credibility i am just kidding, i know that when you post something it is from a credible source
  10. The guy explained it and it was a valid point. He basically said that no specific metric is a perfect identifier of how good a defense is. The flaw in Points Allowed is that it encompasses points given up by offensive turnovers as well as run-backs on special teams. The flaw in Yards Allowed is that it doesn't measure the stat most directly related to wins, points. I thought they had a good discussion. I don't get some people here bashing the discussions on this site, though. Look at the KU thread - there are rational, well-thought-out posts and a couple of nonsense posts. Holding that up as some paragon of message boards while comparing them to this board... not getting it. I sometimes wonder why some people are members here when they clearly do not respect the other members. Doesn't make a lot of sense. But the bottom line is the Defense that keeps the other team from scoring wins. The yards against is just stats (fluff) in my opinion. but obviously our offense didnt help matters. they're inability to stay on the field forced our defense to stay on the field much more than the other great defenses. nebraska- 3798yds 271.3ypg 955 plays 4.0yd/play texas- 3527yds 251.9ypg 918 plays 3.8yd/play alabama- 3435yds 245.4ypg 842 plays 4.1yd/play florida- 3533yds 252.4ypg 844 plays 4.2yd/play as you can see our defense was on the field more than 100 plays more than bama and florida, and with all that extra time on the field, of course we'll give up more yards. but the impressive thing is that we only trail texas in yards/play, and you would think that fatigue would eventually set in and they would start to break down, but that never happened all season, thats what was most impressive IMO. I honestly think we were really lucky to have our defense to fall back on with our struggling offense. if we had the defense of 2008, i wouldnt have been surprised if we wouldnt have have become bowl eligible. but thats just my two cents, but this is why i truly do appreciate what this staff has done in only two short years, and that is why I am excited for next year.
  11. time to get a little payback for whats happened the last four meetings
  12. I found this one Thanks Edit: That was off a ND blogsite? yes it was what if bob davie played for the win against nebraska the article is about a quarter of the way down, if your interested in reading it in the comments section for that blog, one ND fan posted: PAK'00 "Oh and I forgot to add... despite the annoyance at so MANY of them being in our stadium, as a whole, the Husker fans were by far the most gracious group of opposing fans at ND that I've seen." just goes to show you that we truely are the greatest fans in college football
