STL Husker

I loved the chant...and the shoe part. They called us idiots back then when we were doing it.

I think we will win and I would put money on it, but weren't we saying the same thing about Iowa State last year. We were laughing at them for thinking they could beat us again after our 8? turnover game. I know they didn't end up beating us, but they were one well executed play away from doing it, and I think Washington has a better team. Let's not get too arrogant to believe that there isn't a chance we could lose.

This kid really likes us. He said he wants a real good relationship with the coaches of the school he goes to... He has that with JP. He said he wants a team that is real close... NU has that. He basically said that the reason he's making a return trip to Florida is because his mom is concerned about their academics... You never hear mom's saying that about Nebraska. And he wants to play with good players, he will have Todd Peat Jr., Kevin williams, And Greg McMullen who is rated as the #6 DE coming out

of high school. We definitely have the talent, facilities, coaching relationships, academics (most academic all Americans in the country and one of the top football team GPA averages in all of college football.

Honestly, I think you can make any school fit into that criteria if you tried. It's also hard to tell if kids really think that an education is important, or if that's just something they they think they are supposed to say. For some reason I just don't think he is coming here. I hope I'm wrongDon't mean to be the downer, but I also don't think we need any one player either. The staff has shown they can do alot with average recruits on the dline.

It's kind of hard for this not to make me sound like a jerk, but I am pretty sure we aren't coaching our QBs to miss receivers. It's not just a matter of "Hey, maybe next time you should try completing that pass." Honestly, if I had to pick a position where we don't have a standout player, it would be at WR. All I want is for someone who catches a ball that hits their hands. They don't need to be extremely fast or strong, just reliable--like Swift or Peterson. I think we are oversimplifying the passing game by saying we just need to complete more passes to WR's and then we can start getting 4 and 5 star recruits. I would rather see us run the ball a majority of the time than to see us consistantly try to get balls to WRs. But maybe I am still scarred from a certain coaching regime.

Nice article on ESPN about him:

He is a guy I am getting mroe excited about every day.

Just imagine his rating increases with that name! +5 speed, +10 arm strength, +8 accuraccy. And that's without having to pay for the extra training add on. I like it!

No, I completely agree. He should definitely change his name. He should even add 'Master' Derek Starling. Or maybe 'Esq.' Derek Starling. No, better yet drop Derek, and go with Esq. Edward Starling. Wait, they can track his last name to "backwater" Kansas. 'Esq. Edward Windsor'. Now people will take him seriously. But aren't baseball and football such barbaric sports. Give it up and play polo. Now there's a sophisticated game.
