12-2 is pretty sexy....but the again 11-2 with a BCS win is pretty sexy as well. BCS victory momentum going into the offseason would be better than 12-2 with a Capital Bowl win, IMO

Basically retroactively giving it to Alex because they f#%!ed up so bad last year. But Brett is a beast.

Props to Sparty for bringing a ton of fans. All of them I talked to were cool.

Remember this race ain't over yet...

Per Brian Rosenthal:

 

Jamal Turner not hurt, but not being consistent enough in practice, hence lack of playing time, says wide receivers coach Rich Fisher.

"Fisher: "I’m going to play the guys that know how to get lined up and are doing the things in practice to get themselves on the field.” - Also per Rosenthal

I love how we came sexily close to beating them 17-3 again...the extra TD was a nice little "we're this much better" statement.

4 complete quarters of sound football. That's the story.

I'd like to see him develop as a nose tackle. I'd say that's the the position his frame supports especially considering all the 3-4 looks we're using this year.

Just barely beat me to it!. These are the moments that get me most fired up. Most proud to be a Husker fan.

The young DBs need some time. We're just plain hurtin out there.

You don't think this has anything to do with the fact that there are two writers and two candidates for best running back?

 

Exactly.

 

Think back to high school English class. You and a classmate are given a specific debatable topic, and one of you is assigned to argue a certain viewpoint while your classmate argues the counter-point. It's the professional equivalent of that.

Get out of my head, good sir. I was specifically thinking back to a debate I had to do in high school when I posted that. I had to do the anti side of legalizing pot. My opponent was one of the biggest dealers in our school.

And I know people who were there telling me there were press applauding - in fact, they admit to doing it themselves.

That's disappointing to hear that. I know quite a few people in there too.

And that's worse than embracing a reporter who is doing his job so poorly that other guys in the press box are calling him out for "yellow journalism," and other reporters are applauding his public dressing-down?

 

There were a million ways Dork could have written that article, and another million ways to have responded in that presser. He chose to instigate and dump gas on the fire he created. I have zero problem calling that out. If you think I'm the bad guy for doing this, that's on you.

My god.

 

First (and this is a legitimate question) who in the media called out Dirk for yellow journalism? And no reporters were the ones clapping at Bo chewing him out. No media member would be caught dead showing that kind of emotion toward a subject they cover. And "Dork"? Really? That's not childish.

 

Jesus H. Christ. This really rubs me the wrong way. Just Effing let it go. There were two very distinct sides in that room amongst the journalists - those who felt Dirk was in the right, and those who felt he was in the wrong. Husker Mike called Dirk out for yellow journalism, and members of the press - Sipple specifically - out-and-out said that Dirk was wrong. For God's sake, Moose, Sipple wrote a column about it.

 

Get off your high horse with this "no media member would be caught dead showing that kind of emotion toward a subject they cover." The guy you're defending - Dirk - showed exactly that kind of emotion in the hatchet piece he wrote.

 

And you'll have the moral high ground to label me "childish" for calling Dirk a dork when you do the same for those guys calling Martinez "T-Tragic," amongst other names. Until then you're just being a hypocrite. It is unfathomable to me that you would defend a grown man, a professional, who should be old enough and strong enough to take some well-earned criticism, yet you have no problems piling on a college student. When's the last time you saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High without Phoebe Cates, anyway?

 

This rehash was totally unnecessary. I cannot fathom why you felt the need to bring this back up. I had thought better of you.

I had no idea people thought that the people in the presser were media members applauding Dirk. I really heard that for the first time yesterday, and I had to see what people on here really thought. That's just not the case. I know multiple people who were there telling me otherwise. And forgive my lack of archiving, but what column by Sipple are you referring to? What is the column in the "Sipple: Dirk was wrong" thread?

So I hate to bring this topic back up...but it came to my attention today that a lot of people think it was the media members clapping at the end of this press conference, clapping for Bo for chewing out Dirk...please tell me you guys don't think this....

Can you explain? I think a few people had asked about it in the thread but nobody got a response. What actually happened?

For whatever reason, there were alumni, boosters, etc in the room too. I guess now that I say it out loud it does sound like people wouldn't realize those types were in there since they normally aren't. Must have been a homecoming thing. Whatever the reason, they were the ones clapping. The press wouldn't dare show anything like that.

Did tuff tiger write this sentence?

Leaving Thursday morning! Might be in the press box for this one.

Who'da thought with Crick, David, and Dennard that the lowest rated of the three incoming freshman Ibacks would be the only mid-season All-American...

If Beck and Martinez are firing on all cylinders like Saturday night, 10-2 losing to Michigan is possible. But I don't see that happening. 8-4 or 9-3 sounds more realistic to me with a loss to Michigan, MSU, and either NW or PSU.
