    SEC kicker transfers to NU

    in Husker Football

    Posted

    ANOTHER scholarship kicker? Sorry, it makes no sense. But I suppose you'll take credit in any transfer to NU, or from NU.

     

     

    Acutally we have 3.....and only one of those is a scholarship place kicker (Congdon). With the incoming freshman that makes 2 scholarship kickers on the team plus (and this is only if this rumor is true) you have to wonder if this guy will actually be on scholarship or a walk-on. We don't know.....I'll wait till this is actually confirmed.....

     

    But I'm not sure this is an odd move as everyone is making it out to be....late

    Football: Lee's Lewis commits to Cornhuskers

     

    San Antonio Express-News

     

    Lee senior Travis Lewis has committed to Nebraska.

     

    Lewis, playing almost exclusively at running back this season, rushed for 1,436 yards and nine touchdowns. He said he will play a combination of safety and linebacker with the Cornhuskers.

     

    "Nebraska is the place for me," said Lewis, who is 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds. "I really wanted to play in the Big 12, and I didn't want to go to (Texas). I'm big-time excited. Anytime you get a chance to get your college paid for, how can you not be excited?"

     

    Lewis also had scholarship offers from Oklahoma and Southern California. He said he also received cursory interest from UT, mainly last spring when his recruiting stock soared after a series of impressive showings on the combine circuit.

     

    Lewis will play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in January.

    Tunnel Walk with the Lee Greenwood performance

     

    Does anyone know what the special event was at 2:10?  I heard something special was going to happen at that time on the radio.

    I believe it was the Lee Greenwood apperance....

     

    I was there for it. I liked the tunnel walk, but I didnt love it. I'm not sure if the Keith Jackson thing will be there for every game but if so, then I will end up hating the thing. But I agree with previous posts that I was glad we got rid of the flying graphics and exploding helmets. Overall, not bad. I do love the fireworks. I'm a sucker for fireworks

    Ruud or Octavien?

    in Husker Football

    Posted

    I love Octavien but we've only seen basically five quarters of football from him ( 4 of which came in two spring games) and we've seen almost an entire year from Ruud. To me, this is a smart move by the coaching staff...

    The Unwritten Rules of Memorial Stadium

    Blue hair old lady that was a Bugeater fan before she was a Husker fan + telling you to sit down = Old lady looking at your backside the rest of the game as she remembers the glory days of Dana X. Bible. These two formulas will add up to one hell of a time.

     

     

    My Mom is 75 and will stand and cheer the whole game!  We hope to continue our "3 Generation Game" this year for the Texas game!

    There is no better sight in my mind then to see somebody of that age screaming and yelling like a fat kid who just got his candy bar taken away. 75 and screaming, now that kicks ass!!! That's a great story.....

     

    A little history lesson on the touching of the foot of the last player on the tackling statue just outside of the east stadium. I work litterally just a block away from the Cathedral. On my breaks, I go and walk around Memorial Stadium. Nearly every break for the past 3 years I have touched that foot. You can clearly (and I'm not kidding here) feel and realize the days that you do not touch that foot. Last season, I spotted a couple of people rubbing that foot just before entering the gates. Traditions start somewhere and sometime. I personally hope this one catches on so I can stake claim to it and be part of NETV's Husker Century Part 4 :)

     

    Keep these rules coming......by God it's almost the start of the season!!! chuckleshuffle:restore

    The Unwritten Rules of Memorial Stadium

    Hey fellas

     

    I thought I'd had one more

     

    9. Be prompt. We have the most exciting entrance in all of college football. There is absoutely no need for you to miss it. If you have trouble with kickoff and figuring out exactly what time the game starts here's a tip. Lets say that kickoff is slated for 2:30. Well that means Pinnacle Sports starts its pregame show 18 hours before that. Do the math, try to be in the stadium a half hour before and you'll witness something special; cool graphics, the sweet sounds of the Allan Parsons Project and thousands and thousands of goosebumps.

    The Unwritten Rules of Memorial Stadium

    in Husker Football

    Posted

    Since we are 8 days from the start of the 2006 season, I thought we should compile a list of the unwritten rules of being a Husker fan on football Saturday in Lincoln. Here is a few that I came up with. Please add, subtract, do whatever makes you happy. Its almost time people!!!!

     

     

    1. Wear red. For god sakes its called the “Sea of Red”, not the “Sea of Gray”, “Sea of White” or the “Sea of Old Navy Shirts”. But if you have trouble finding a red Husker shirt here’s a little tip that’ll help you out in finding one. Try, oh I don’t know, looking at almost EVERY SINGLE STORE IN THE STATE OF NEBRASKA!!! You can’t throw a dead cat without hitting a red Husker shirt. Hell I think your even given one when your either are born here or cross the border.

     

    2. Stand up and make noise. Here is a simple mathematical formula. Loud noise + scared to death QB = Face mask into field turf with the possibility of some Chad May bitching. But here’s another formula you might want to keep in mind as well. Blue hair old lady that was a Bugeater fan before she was a Husker fan + telling you to sit down = Old lady looking at your backside the rest of the game as she remembers the glory days of Dana X. Bible. These two formulas will add up to one hell of a time.

     

    3. Throw up the bones AND after a 3 & out, do the 3 & out symbol with your hand. If you don’t know what throwing up the bones or what the 3 & out hand gesture is, check your tickets and Husker gear in at the door and journey down to Craphatten and painfully purchase some god awful purple to become a woeful K-SUCKS fan.

     

    4. Do two pre-game traditions; one old and one new. Touch the bottom of the foot of the elephant in front of Morrill Hall and touch the cleat of the last tackler in the statue just outside the east side of the stadium. You’ll feel like a dork and you’ll look like a dork but dammit, it has to be done.

     

    5. Do not partake in the wave. God how I wish this completely uncool maneuver could have a disclaimer on the back of the ticket stud. “Bearer of this ticket shall not bring in any alcohol, firearms, throw things on the field and participate in the wave…”

     

    6. Cheer all visiting teams out of the stadium except for one. That’s Colorado. They do not need to be cheered for anything, except for actually completing a full sentence without spitting out Coors Light backwash, marijuana residue and cousin splatter.

     

    7. At halftime, go ahead and get your hot dog, go to the bathroom or accidentally spill some Jack Daniels into your Pepsi. The band hasn’t had an interesting performance since RFK almost became President. Just make sure that your back in time to politely clap them off the field and be ready for the second half.
