  1. Haven't gotten around to hunting one yet, but am planning on it soon. One of my best friends told me when I moved back I'd have to plan on going hunting with him ---he'd never gone himself. Well, I'm back and have been on his ass to start making plans and now he's waffling.

     

    Personally, I'm big on mule deer --as far as getting them mounted goes. They're far more majestic than white tails. Just an absolutely beautiful animal.

     

    We'll probably go for whitetails the first go round when we get around to it. Since they're in close proximity to the Lincoln area and time constraints might prevent us from going out to the western reaches of the state.

  2. I'm just looking for one Spring game ticket if anyone should have an extra or change in plans. We purchased ours a few weeks ago, now another family member has decided to make the trip.

     

    If anyone should happen to have a ticket available, my phone number is (402) 615-8138. You can call and leave a message at any time. I will return your call promptly. Appreciate any help.

     

    Rob.

  3. Good assessment by all. Here is my problem with those plays being used. WE HAD TO USE THEM AGAINST A 2-9 TEAM TO GET A VICTORY! Those are the types of plays you break out to beat USC, not Colorado.

     

    I think the whole point of using all those tricks plays goes back to the Buff's stated intentions of having Nebraska limp into the Big 12 Championship game. By throwing that many trick plays against the Buffaloes, Callahan was able to keep CU's defense honest and force them to back off from attempting more late hits on Zac than they had already done. Had Zac gotten hurt from any late hits or successful pass rushes, Nebraska's chances of a win in the CCG would be greatly diminished, therefore Callahan did what he had to to nullify that type of scenario. That's my take on the game plan.

  4. I made a bet with my wifes boss who is a big OU fan. The bet is, if Nebraska wins, she (my wifes boss) has to decorate her office at work with a whole bunch of Nebraska stuff (that I provide) and leave it in her office for a week. If OU wins, I have to put one of them OU car flags on my truck and leave it there for a week. Right now that's all there is. My wifes boss wanted me to wear an OU outfit to work but seeing how I'm in the military that won't work. So she's supposed to come up with another idea.

     

    I hope like hell we win

     

    Is your wife's boss hot? I got a whole lot of ideas for what you can do if that's the case.

  5. Let them have their say. Remember when Switzer had Husker fans pulling their hair out 2 and 3 decades ago? Now they're getting their due. Nebraska is closing in on the Hillbillies in talent speed and depth. No matter what happens in the CCG, it's gonna get ugly for the dirt burglars in future meetings between the two schools, and the Hillbillies sense this despite their stupidity. So let them bellyache over our coach. It's their turn to get into a frenzy. And yes, they are indeed Hillbillies. We don't boo visiting teams out of our stadium or harrass their players with pop guns prior to the start of the game. The Hillbillies on the other hand do so and Callahan was telling it like it is.

  6. Looking at our D and O lines, it's apparent we're losing the battle in the trenches.

     

    We gave Texas hell last week, but that was an all out effort and with a home crowd assisting.

     

    Taking a close look at the physiques of the OSU players, and it becomes apparent that they are better conditioned, with better muscularity, better toning. They are simply wearing the Huskers down. Hopefully this problem will be taken care of the next few years, as the recruits coming in will replace what is left of the Solich regime. I also am interested in seeing how Kennedy fares the next couple of years. I'm sure his performance as strength coach will be evaluated in full upon the conclusion of this season. What worries me is that I haven't really seen much improvement in the muscularity of our players the past two years. Will be interesting to see how this plays out, but we gotta be patient as the transition continues. We simply must wait and give the coaches time to develop the players that we do have and work on getting back to having well conditioned players. We're simply not there yet. Now that we have a new and improved strength training facility, the heat is on Kennedy to put it to good use.

    Yeah, that's how I'll judge who's going to win a game. I line them all up with their shirts off and whoever is the most toned, they'll totally win the game... :sarcasm

     

    They'll totally win the game by overpowering their opposition (us, in this case) throughout the game. OSU's players were in better shape, and wore us down. Just like what we used to do back in the days of TO when we were the ones who had the better conditioned players on the field.

  8. He's the real reason we've had to spend last 5 years watching a mediocre team that gets beat physically by almost everyone. We used to have the best facilities and the strongest, best conditioned players in the country. Props to Pederson and someone wake me when we're back on top.

    It is truly a shame Byrne never implemented his ideas for the next stadium expansion.

     

    His plan was for a $100 million expansion of the stadium. That would definitely have been impressive. I think we would be looking at a renovated east stadium in the same way the west stadium had been done.

  9. Hey guys. New here. I read this thread and just had to post in it.

     

     

    My picks from toughest to easiest are:

     

    1. @CU, OU, @MU, KSU, @KU

    2.

    3.

    4.

    5.

     

    What's my point? My point is that there isn't one game left that needs to be over looked or one that will be any easier than another. I'm not saying that you guys are overlooking any team nor am I trying to be disrespectful to what you all are saying, I'm just speaking from my own point of view. Yes there are teams that we face the rest of the season that are better football teams than some others, but we need to focus on one game at a time. And right now it's Mizzou that needs to be focused on. Each and every team we face through the rest of the season will be a tough one on it's own merrit.

     

     

    Pretty much so.

     

    Hopefully when we play CU, their players will have a flaming case of crotch-rot from all those prostitutes Barnett's been sending straight to their dorm rooms. That should slow the Bison down. :bounce
