We'll it now says he's a soft commit. yeah guys it just got serious

Win out and its a success. We're still in the process. We have a stellar recruiting class on the way that can do some serious damage as soon as next year. Winning the Big 12 is a huge step for us. We're clearly progressing. Win friday and i believe everyone will be back to normal and excited for the big 12 championship. One week at a time guys.

Oh and BTW, everyone get excited this game has huge recruiting implications. major recruits will be there and could bolster our class even more. Also its senior day, you know thats gonna be tough especially with the many seniors we have on our team this year. we have plenty of reasons to be positive.

We need another wr in this class at least.

Dan Beebe is in charge of the Lou Groza list.

You forgot Hagg.

I don't agree with any of this. Without Bo's passion and great coaching, Our D isnt playing lights out. The man is getting screwed and quite honestly if I was in his position i'd be pretty close to ringing the officials neck too. The man feels handicapped and he knows no other team in the country has to play like Nebraska does just to win a game. He feels his players have to play with one arm around his back and thats simply not fair. As far as recruits go, they dont care about all that. they know we got screwed and dont mind Bo getting all crazy. Bo loves his players and they know that. The Martinez situation is interesting. If the "texting" rumor is true then maybe Taylor deserves it but who knows. It also could've been a inspirational "if you want to be the best, this is your time" kinda speech. One thing you also have to take into consideration is that Taylor walks around like he doesnt understand the moment. almost like he doesnt care as much as he should. Im not saying thats true or anything but at this time you have to take everything into consideration. Lets also take into consideration that he might be scratching his head on how inept cody green is. He prob cant believe how unpolished this guy is. Think about the stress he has to deal with because he has to coach a nearly perfect Defensive game just to have a chance to win. I dont blame him to be going crazy. He prepares his ass off every week and has a great gameplan and it all goes to waste because he gets screwed. Really put yourself in his shoes before you judge.

Keep the rage Bo, btw i dont think he was tearing a new one into Taylor, I believe he was being fiery and passionate and telling Taylor that if he wants to be the next big thing, the time is now. I dont think it was as bad as it may seem. oh and Osborne is not Pelini. I back Bo on everything. He's passionate. Put any other coach in his position and see how they react. Bo isnt soft and doesnt care about the whole "class" issue as much as everyone else does. quite simply. Nebraska was soft and weak for 10 years. He's turned them into a bunch of physical football players who display the passion he does. Bo does it his way.

I'm as mad as anyone. Im not even gonna speak on the fact that we're getting piped, quite frankly many people are gonna do that for me. As fans we feel awful, im sure plenty are outraged and maybe even shed a tear. But lets all think about the players and lets really think about how they're feeling. im sure its even worse. guys its clearly us against the WORLD. We need to show nothing but absolute support. Lets rally around them more than we ever have! Our players fought, I have no problem with how anyone played. we could critique them for sure but right now and for the rest of the season its gonna be all positive vibes. This is OUR football team! Our team goes further than the roster, it goes WORLDWIDE. We will stand by them and fight with them. We are gonna need all the help we can get and then some. Lets show THE WORLD that no matter how much they try to keep us down, WE will still get up and keep fighting! As a fan base we need to stick by them and show no mercy for any opposing opponent. I know as a fan base we are polite but quite honestly at this point and for the rest of the season, there is no need. We leave this conference with a F U and be happy we're out. You couldn't convince me to be polite to any opposing b12 team or official. Lets go Husker Nation, Lets go

I had mentioned a while back that "california kids have no allegiance". What i meant by that was a generalization that California kids would rather stay home and when USC or Ucla comes around, they usually bolt for those schools. A lot of times these kids don't know anything about Nebraska until the coaches tell them about their prior success. A lot of times they just choose what school is their best offer rather than them really knowing if its for them. Its hard to bring california kids to the midwest.

he looks good

A lot of talk has been that we're gonna have to adapt to the Big Ten and rightfully so. But i truly believe offensively we're gonna dictate how defenses react to us. Simply put. Taylor, Rex, Aaron, and possibly Heard is too much speed for a 4-3 defense in the big ten to handle. I know dennard kinda displays it as well but they dont have the type of athletes that nebraska will posses when we do the option read. i think nebraska might have an influence in the big ten and force some coaches to change some things. im just throwing that out there. I also believe that on D, the big ten is not gonna know what hit them when they see all this speed that we put out on the field. Even if we go back to a more traditional D, i think we're still gonna posses a clear advantage in speed. Also look for Kyler Reed to become an absolute superstar next year. He's gonna tear some D's up

There's one change i have to make..and thats Sirles. Yes he's talented and intelligent and will be a future star and possible all american. but I believe the only thing stopping Yoshi is the mental game. and he will be in much greater shape next year. Sirles is good but Yoshi has freak, top NFL left tackle talent written all over him

That is like right around where they had Andrew Rodriguez ranked. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to have both of those players. But it flat out does not make sense. TM plays some of the best competition in the land and has done very well against it respectively. Not like he doesn't pass the eye test either, the kid is a football player and he will get PT next year.

he also man-handled James Wilder, who is mr all everything, quoted as the player who can play any position. He's no doubt a 5*

if you remember when pelini had his recruiting press conference and he was talking about a coach allowing one of his players to play even though he didnt have the grades..pelini told him, "why would you allow him to play?" saying its like a tease to coaches because he really isnt eligible. i think there's a good chance that kid is braylon

I am hopeful but the longer this drags outs, i simply don't see him making it to N

next kyler reed? he has to like what he just saw

I believe once Saturday ends, his mind will change...

Mark it down! Daniel Davie will be a stud! with excellent speed and weight training you will see how good of a player he is. Also dont forget, he's not a Nebraska boy, He's originally from Michigan. either way, its obvious he's a great athlete. You don't let great athlete's get away. his versatility is a huge plus. if he struggles to catch, put him at safety.

SO FAR, would you say that Nebraska has gotten over that "recruiting hump" where we can compete and snag top notch recruits every year?

In my opinion, yes but its not at full force. But we are definitely on the minds of everyone again which is a huge plus.

he's N

he's N

Just to the OP - that is FAR from the reason we lost. In fact, this team only had a false sense of confidence, but nearly every single one of them played the game scared. All that was a direct result of us as fans hyping this game up so huge, the AD hyping the game, the media hyping the game, and the coaches putting so much pressure on them to not only win but win convincingly.

 

Not a one of those kids were loose and felt like they could just play. They all felt like they needed to do something huge to appease everyone else and feel like they were carrying their own weight.

 

Some of the biggest problems we have is when we are not playing well, Bo will go on his tirades and stay that way. Bo hasn't learned the art of when someone needs a good butt-chewing, and when someone needs some positive encouragement. Instead, it's just a rage on players and coaches both that puts insane pressure on them both.

 

It's like in the 4th quarter when Zac came in and a little momentum was going our way. The team had some difficulty getting the play in and had to burn a timeout. Instead of pumping the boys up to keep fighting to make that late rally, you see the veins in Bo's neck popping out as he is going off on Zac for calling that timeout.

 

Basically, the team folded under the pressure from everyone.

 

Well, why is it the offense that always folds under pressure vs a decent defense? I don't see the defense getting blown out since 2008 no matter who they play.

 

2010 - Texas - zero TDs

2009 - Texas - zero TDs

2009 - Oklahoma - one TD (we get the ball on their one yd line due to pick)

2009 - Virginia Tech - zero TDs

 

Heck, even vs "very" marginal defenses our offense can fold like a tent.

 

2010 - SDSU - 2 Tds

2009 - Texas Tech - one TD (at garbage time)

2009 - Iowa State - one TD

 

For whatever reason, it looks to me that the pressure only gets to us on one side of the ball.

I can see our OFFENSE being scared, but do you think it was possible that they started feeling this way after they got down? idk, either way, watching Iowa st giving it to them right now, obviously proves it wasnt a talent issue

you know what cracks me up, because we lost, everyone all of the sudden feels like we got outclassed talent wise but im willing to say that i would have more people agreeing with me if those balls were caught and we win the game. our oline got outclassed because we continued to run the ball when the box was stacked. quite frankly most husker fans before the lost wouldve said no way to trading martinez for gilbert, wr's for theirs. and rbs for theirs and definitely the oline because of texas lack of running game. You know how i know nebraska is more talented? we played absolutely awful and put ourselves in the worst position and got screwed by the refs, and still only lost by 7.

I really hope he decides to play football

yeah cody still has time, i wouldnt be shocked if he comes back strong next year
