I think this would be great for Omaha. Even thought the Racers deal didn't work out so good. This time around the team will actually be associated with the NBA and will have some recognizable names of college players that just missed making it in the NBA draft. Thoughts?

I hope this is true!

Has there been any general timetable on this? How long do you guys think it will take for us to hire someone? We can't realisticly be pursuing a coach of a team that is still alive in the tourney besides Xavier's. Shaka would be an awesome hire but I don't think the interest is there on his part. I just really hope its not Altman. That would be really disappointing.

I guess the thing I don't get about this particular search is the need to find someone who has ties to Nebraska. It's not like Nebraska is like some former great that has fallen on hard times. We've been bad FOREVER. What exactly would be so wrong about getting someone who has no ties to that? I mean, it was hysterical to read the writeup in the paper on Jeter and go "ok at least there isn't some obvious Nebraska tie that is a reason he's in the mix" and then read on to see that his uncle played football here. This isn't six degrees of Kevin Bacon. We can hire a dude who's oblivious to how bad we've been and still have success.

I agree...I hate how it seems like we are searching for someone that has to have ties to the university in some way. I don't believe in that at all. We need to look for the best possible coach for the situation and price. Even though they say money isn't an issue, we'll see about that. I just don't want to see us hire Altman because he is from NE and has been to the tournament a few times. We gotta go with a big name while we can. There are a lot of good coaches out there right now and if we don't get one, we'll be back in the same position we were with Doc....Six years of mediocre basketball. I am just concerned that I'm going to be disappointed with the hire if they base it on going after someone with NE roots.

Who Cares! We won...It's done...Great comeback...Go Big Red!

yeah, unfortunately my small ass internet provider (there's two on base) is not on ESPN3's provider list. So no dice there

If you know someone that has one of the internet providers listed, you could get their username and password to be able to view the game. You don't have to be using the internet provider you select. It is free so they don't have to worry about any charges.

There was only one mistake Taylor made all night. I don't see how anyone could've even wanted to see Carnes or whoever at any point during the first half or entire game. When Martinez threw the pick and OSU got the 3 points off of it at the end of the first half, that was not his fault. If we are going to try and score before half, that's fine, but don't run a QB draw and then decide we want to drop back and pass with 30 seconds left. When we decide we are going to drop back and let Taylor be a pocket passer for the drive and see if we can put up points before half, we are setting him up to fail and everyone is going to be all over him for that. When we ran the QB draw I thought we were going to just run the clock out...Then Beck calls for the pass and you know what happened...Same thing as before the half last week except we give them 3 instead of 6. I hated the play calling at the end of that half for the second week in a row...but Beck turned it around in the second half and called a good game. I have a lot of faith in Taylor when we have the run game going...It is opening up the play action passing and he can hit receivers that are wide open. I loved the second half comeback and hope we can get better in the off week and get ready for the rest of the season. We keep saying that bo and carl will figure out the D and we will be fine...I still believe this will happen but hopefully will happen sooner than later! GO BIG RED

I am hopeful davids rip was the spark that ignites something with this team

i am hopeful we just had a bad 2 1/2 quarters against wisky and that led to a bad half against tOSU

I am hopeful our team feels good about this win and it is something they can build on

I thought it was an exciting comeback( i was at the Gator bowl and think that was the biggest until tonight)

I hope the damned nebraska fans will quit booing our team !

I hope this team found its heart and sees how good it can play...

I hope the Offense and Defense found some things they did well and can now build on

 

but we clearly played a depleted tOSU team with a great defense. I will faithfully and hopefully hold my enthuseum for a few more weeks until we see some consistency against teams like MSU, Michigan and even Minnesota.. if we have trouble with Mobile quarterbacks, Michigan should be a test. clearly, being down like that at the half, with the world and Memorial stadium against you was a truest test of character and great display of heart.

 

I hope the teams and fans enjoy this win. I hope we look back and say that Lavonte David strip was the turning point....

 

time will tell,

 

GBR!

 

 

Lets not forget who we were playing! Ohio State is TERRIBLE!!! I agree with some of your points but for us to be so excited for this win is just rediculous. Why did it take such a Herculean effort to beat this team? The fact that we are taking pride in this pitiful win is making me sick. We cant stop dual threat qb's. A slow, unathletic qb that is inaccurate we look great against. If Miller doesnt go down we lose, plain and simple. Are we gonna be able to hurt everybodys qb? No...This team shouldnt have even been within 30 points of us. Im just glad we dont play Northwestern or Illinois. We are going to have a hell of a time against Michigan. I guess our best chance there is to HOPE that Robinson is hurt.

Northwestern 11/5 in Lincoln

I, for one, am thrilled that almost everybody is expecting UW to roll over the Huskers this weekend. I don't feel like this team has played well as the favorite and it seems that almost all of the pressure is on UW to win this one. Combine that with the fact that the Huskers have tended to play BETTER on the road, and I kind of like our position entering this big game.

DECA-YEAH

Nebraska: 30

Wisky: 27

Rush: 237

Pass: 163

I think it is going to be a higher scoring game...both teams in the 30s or 40s...We have to get the ball out on the edge...Get it to Turner!!! I don't see how we don't get Turner, Bell and Enunwa the ball more...Just get it to them over the middle or on short routes...they can make the first guy miss, then who knows...We have to use our playmakers better. I think we can come out with the win if we can get a few key stops on D and get a big special teams play or interception/fumble recovery deep in their territory. Go Big Red!

Perhaps the jumbo-tron could show an ad for something old people like? then they might get into it but what could be the ad??? hmmm

 

Haha...That commercial is hilarious! Nice post....What about the Nebraska Med Center commercial where the lady is like "I wouldn't go anywhere else". She seems to be out of it!

No, the best thing for ND would be to stay independent now...If there wasn't all this realignment, i would be all for ND joining the Big 10 or antoher conference

How in the hell did Price not fumble that? Haha, thier lineman #56 was ready to recover it if he did...on the close-up view, he runs toward the ball after Price gets lit up...haha

Wisconsin hasn't played a decent team yet ( not saying we have the toughest non con schedual either). My point is I don't understand this fear that many seem to have of them. They can be beat.

I agree 100% with you there. I don't know why everyone is so scared of Wisconsin either. They haven't showed anything out of the ordinary. People are saying, "OH, we're going to get killed when we go out there if we don't turn it around quick!" We will have to wait and see. It's all about how we match up with them one on one. Can't really compare who we've played to who they've played and determine who will win. Head to Head....we have a great shot! Can't wait! GO BIG RED!

Nice work on the comparisons. We will see what the next two games bring before we get into conference play. There is room for improvement but I'm not one to be all worried and saying we are going to lose 5-6 games. Bo will make the adjustments on Defense...We will make strides on offense each game as we get more comfortable with what we have out there. Go Big Red!

Huskers: 49

Fresno: 13

Rushing: 237

Passing: 256

I want to see us grind out some long, 10+ play drives where we just wear down their d-line and push them off the ball for 4+ yards a play right up the middle. Old school Nebraska football. I love that we have the big play threats with Martinez and about any running back that is in there, but the key is going to be for the offense to get some gradual drives going and get some rhythm out there. This will definitely build some confidence for the guys up front and they will keep getting better with every practice and game. 49-13 Huskers. Go Big Red!

The best Bo Pelini Show ever was when they were doing it at the Iowa State stadium after the game, and someone was using a leaf blower to blow down the garbage and Bo kept looking over at him and glaring.

Totally agree...You could tell Bo was irritated that he had to be there right after the game to do the show...then the leaf blower or whatever that was just added to the situation...It was pretty funny though...Had to watch it a few times!

Thunder Collins is trying to make the 'Mean Machine'.

 

Haha...That's hilarious. "I ain't no Snitch!"

Looking to go to Iowa City. Maybe OSU in Lincoln. I also have a strong urge to attend the Wisconsin game. Not sure I'll be able to swing 2 away games, however.

Iowa game is home

I never hated colorado with a passion until dan hawkins took over. "Worst day as a buff is better than the best day as a husker." Come on man, all you're doing is getting our team pumped up to kick your ass every year. Now that we only get to do it one more time in the big 12, we better make the best of it. I don't care what happens to colorado when they go to the pac 10. It would be cool to schedule them in non-conference down the road again sometime though to remember the big 12 days.

GBR

Well I'm sorry 7huskers7 Im just irritated about reading about sdsu for 2 weeks.

Joey, that's just the game that has been on my mind. I'm not trying to irritate anyone by posting about it.
