  1. Stop with this crap. NU has never recruited better than they have in the last 4 years. T.O. never had more than one top 10 class. Aside from one year due to a small class Bo has been top 15-20 the last 4 years. That is about on par with what T.O. did and better than Call "dumpster fire starter" ahan. If your going to put this out there, give us some facts to back it up.
  2. I am 100% on the fence here. One one hand if we could get a head coach like Petersen or Franklin, a slam dunk hire. I say do it. I am not sure NU can do this. On the other hand I still remember a new AD bumbling around a coaching search, constant airport watch, and getting the dumpster fire starter. I feel bringing in a cordinator would lose us one or two years before our recruiting could pick up. I like Pelini, like the way he runs a program. We seem so close, then fall flat on our face. Is it time to start over? 100% on the fence.
  3. If NU could get Charlie Strong I sure hope he brings Shawn Watson with him.
  4. I guess they will still talk about NU on SportsCenter.
  5. paying too much attention to this board makes me dumber.
  6. I don't think Bo said anything out of line, aside from the f-word. Getting to the point, we knew he was pissed with the media and it is OK for him to be critical of our fan base. It sounds bad, but I don't make too much of it. Other people wont think the way I do. Either Bo rallies this team around this negativity or he gets fired.
  7. I am not ready to fire Bo. Wouldn't NU be a step down for Mark Richt? I think we over-estimate the Nebraska brand, while coaches looking at the recruiting limitations. With USC and Texas looking to fire coaches, along with Washington if Sark moves to USC, Florida if Muschamp falls on his face, even if Georgia Tech has another flat season. Where among these does Nebraska rank as a place to come in get talent and win for a coach? We are getting possibly the third best guy available or Scott Frost. I think Scott Frost will be a good head coach, and better than the "hot guy". Not ready to give up on Bo, check back in November.
  8. I don't know where 2 start. I don't think anyone needs 2 be fired. I think Beck could have tried to grind out some first downs in the 3rd quarter instead of throwing the ball too much, I think he got too cute. i think this was his worst game as OC and I think he will get better. I think the D played pretty well for being so young. The offense has to help them out and keep them off the field. I know they gave up a lot of yards today. That is going to happen when they are on the field that long, but they showed me improvement. I don't know what's wrong with Martinez, I guess he didn't turn the ball over, but this seemed like the worst game I have seen him play in a long time.
  9. The thing I am thinking about last years UCLA game is that we had very little tape on Hundley and what Mora would do. What game tape vs Rice and somebody else, I didn't check. I do think that will level the playing field, coaching wise. Bo got out coached in the Rose Bowl by a sly Jim Mora. Give Bo a year, and see what these young athletes can do on D. I think this favors NU.
  10. Nathan Gerry is a hybrid S/LB in my opinion. This makes the personel of the dime and the nickel the same, only Gerry is playing a different position. I think we will see Zaire in the base 4-3 more than the last 2 games. I do wonder if Afalvala or Santos will play over Gerry against traditional teams that run less spread.
  11. Tommy Armstrong on the red team vs Johnny Stanton on the white team. Spring game sell-out.
  12. Santos was consistently getting beat by the RB running a crossing route against WY. He looked like Compton vs UCLA. Banderas was able to cover that route much better and looked better overall. Santos had a bad day, but it is kind of hard to judge a MLB playing dime all night. Who's to say how these LB's will look in a base 4-3. There's no reason the LB package cannot change from base to nickel to dime.
  13. its not about the yards man, its about the points.
  14. David Santos got killed all night on crossing routes. Bando looked better and Gerry made some plays. The D-Line looked young, gaping holes in the running game. They looked like lineman though, not like too skinny Stienkeuler, not like too small Merideth. RG44 looked good. I believe the D-Line will get better, I am worried about the LB's although we didn't see much of them with so much dime. I do wonder if college football has caught up with Bo's system. I question whether a MLB can cover a RB on a crossing route, which Bo requires his MLB too do in his man 2 man system. In 2009 Phillip Dillard succeeded as an average MLB because nobody had figured out Bo's system, I remember OU running the RB flare over and over and an average MLB can stop that. After that Lavonte David came onto the scene, an above average MLB. This may be the key to Bo's D and I wonder if that MLB is at NU.
  15. I can't believe Miles was able to hire Kenya Hunter. BIG TIME HIRE
  16. I had a minor freak out before opening this thread because this hasn't been done.
  17. Iowa St did something similar for a kid during their spring game and it barely got any run in the Des Moines Register. I am not sure Bo wants the ESPN pub that Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, or Bob Stoops get covering practice and all. Nebraska won't be revelant as a NC contender till they get over the hump, but Bo gets on Rome. What is your definition of revelant?
  18. Just because he stayed at NU doesn't mean he would be any good. Andrew Rodriguez hasn't exactly lived up to the lofty status he came here with. It is what it is, he's playing RG and that's not a good sign.
  19. Tear it down and start over and make it more vertical like it is supposed to be. This. Imagine rebuilding south stadium so it connects with the east and west finishing out the shoe. That would look nice, but wouldn't increase revenue any. Wouldn't cost too much to improve the concourse and add another big scoreboard. I do like the south stadium the way it is, old school just like when I was a kid.
  20. 2nd degree assault and 2 counts of harassment. That dosen't sound too bad. I'd let him sit a year and see if he can stay out of trouble. 2nd degree assault gets you almost 6 years in prison here in Oregon. Minimum. Probably not that different in Colorado. Edit: Looks like a mandatory 5 years in Colorado. http://www.colorado-...es/assault.html thanks for the legal research since I was way off. Time to give up on this one.

  22. Khiry Cooper thinks that's great.
  23. I don't remember what article it was mentioned in, but it mentioned that UNL is only really looking at adding women's sports at the moment. No support will ever exist until we have a women's counter-sport to add at the same time. Title IX. I would guess that men's hockey would be next and even that is down the road quite a ways. The facility is there to add men's soccer and women's field hockey or women's lacross. I just think it would be kinda cool to compete with Creighton in men's soccer. Men's hockey would be really cool, but is going to take a lot more $$.
  24. Any support out there for a men's soccer team?
