  1. Mike Daum...why oh why didn't we offer

      Cause he was a decent C-1 player from the panhandle who had no other D-1 offers and didn't deserve one from Nebraska at the time.

      There's no telling how he'd even do in the B1G. Easy to second guess, but the guys we have now are just fine.

      Yeah, I usually like Dirk, but him banging the drum for Mike Daum is a hindsighted view. Sounds like the kid was a complete project coming out of high school.

  2. Is it November 25th yet?

      Um, you mean November 24th? If we don't make a bowl, I seriously doubt we wait until Saturday to make an announcement, especially if Moos has someone lined up.

      Bo was fired on Sunday (2 days) after the black Friday game. Different situation, but I think we would let Riley go the day after.

      Eichorst was also a craptacular AD, and Moos so far has shown every indication that he is not. :koolaid2:

  3. Are they ever going to upgrade South stadium?

      Pretty sure that's all it will be.  Don't know how they could do a major renovation.

      There are blueprints for a south stadium "reconstruction", but I am not sure when/if it will ever happen.  I posted about it in some thread a couple years ago.

       

      Found what I posted in couple years ago ->

      I think - if there was going to be a major renovation - that it would be something along those lines.  I just don't see how they would ever be able to handle the logistics of something like that.  They'd basically have to completely demolish the existing South Stadium and start over.  And I don't think that's possible in nine months from December through August.  So you'd be without the entire South Stadium for (at least) one football season.  Which is going to make a lot of people very upset.  And there would be fewer seats - though more high-dollar seats - but I'm not sure that it would be worth that much money and time to do.

  4. Omaha old market area. What are some things to do with a few couples in their late 20's, early 30s...

      If your group enjoys cigars, you gotta check out Havana Garage, really cool spot and they have a sneaky good patio in the back.

       

      Mister Toads probably has the best patio downtown if that's your bag.

       

      Upstream is a decent space and they have pool tables.

       

      My favorite place downtown is La Buvette, it's a smaller space with seating for maybe 30 people inside but they have a decent patio out front and it's an awesome spot for wine.  Service can be a bit prickly but that's just the way it is there.

      Not sure if you can discern an "it" factor from HS tape - unless you mean "it" is the ability to make some big time throws. I think this video shows that.

      Don't listen to these guys. He's obviously the best QB we've had around here in many years. In time they will see!

      I think he'll get canned, too, but not because of ESPN Insider. They typically don't know more than we know.

      We all know Burkhead will be a stud with or without his carries. Give the 3 a lot of touches and see which one steps up the most.

  8. Sources close to the program tell us Bo Pelini has targeted Iowa defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski to fill the defensive opening he has. We continue to hear that John Papuchis will be named defensive coordinator.

      When I look this up on my guide (Mediacom) it says "A preview of 2010 Nebraska Cornhuskers football". Figured it was a type and set to record anyway lol.

      True2Red.... In past experiences, how long has it taken you to recover from that kind of injury...

    3. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      I've never fully recovered. Of course, if I would just quit touching it, it might heal quicker.

      those kind of wounds never heal. Mine bleeds monthly. Just rub some dirt on it and walk it off.

  15. I give the o-line improvement to Garrison. Liked a lot of things he said this morning. Basically added some guys who are getting better and on the cusp of the rotation: YGP, Kondolo, Sterup

      How many of those SEC commits would still be ranked that high if they'd committed to another conference?

    3. EZ-E

      EZ-E

      Not surprising. How many of the guys from our 2012 class were ranked that high?? VV was nowhere close and he could possibly be the best player from that 2012 class along with Moss in my personal opinion.

    4. WoodyHayes1951

      WoodyHayes1951

      ESPN rankings are garbage. Go with 247, rivals or scout before them. The SEC is still in the lead by a big margin but those ESPiN rankings are incredibly biased.

  18. He hasn't played bad, but I think if Petteway leads the team in shots attempted we aren't as successful as we should be this season

      I'm not saying he isnt a good player, but I dont feel it is the best option for the team- 36 shots in the last 2 games.

    3. darkhorse85

      darkhorse85

      At least he's not shy about shooting the ball. Too many times in recent years have we had players pass up shots they shoul dhave taken.

    4. ShawnWatson

      He's punched more KU player's in the face than the entire team combined, hes got my vote of confidence.

      "“Those are some big boys and they run some smash-mouth offense,” Gangwish said. “I mean, it’s going to be a physical game, we’re going to be feeling it afterwards. We’re a physical defense. We have some head-butting mother fathers down in that locker room. We’re ready to go, I’ll tell you that.” I wonder if he said "Mother/Fathers?"

      Actually, I'm not arguing with you, but it sounds like if Cavanaugh has his way, the Starting 5 will play every snap all year. (sans blowouts, injuries, monster leads)
