You weren't wrong. He's just improving. I noticed it the first 3 games too. He'd take the sack when there was a wide open field in front of him. He'd only run on designed run plays. It's fun to see him get better at the (few) things he wasn't great at.

The polls have never made sense to me. You're undefeated and you beat the #3 team. You're the pollster who put them at #3. You can't take away the fact that you thought they were the 3rd best team. If Missouri beats the 3rd best team in the country and they're undefeated, why aren't they now the 3rd best team in the country until they prove it was a fluke?

hey maybe someone can lock this thread too.

lol. Some people can't take a joke. For the record, I think Nebraska will beat Missouri. But that doesn't mean the first half of the game wasn't painful to watch. The team was horrible at tackling and it annoyed me so I posted about it. *shrug* I've seen far more venom in a lot of other posts.

The run D has been bad but I still have a good feeling about the game.

They should be higher. They lost to an undefeated team.

I'm having trouble understanding all of the posts saying "we need Missouri to lose so it's easy for us to win the Big 12 Championship. We'll have to win out if they win!!111oneoneone"

I mean, do we really deserve to play for the Big 12 Championship if we don't win out? Not really. I want us to win out and if we beat Missouri I fully expect us to win out.

Why wasn't this in the newspaper?

Nebraska's run defense is painful to watch. They need to make a change. I don't know what. But something. At a big linebacker. That's all I've got.

Now that Texas doesn't matter, I want Missouri to win. I honestly don't care about breaking Oklahoma's undefeated heart now that we have a loss. I like and respect Oklahoma. I want us to win, but a #9 vs. #11 match up is pretty good as a final game.

I would much rather ruin Missouri's season by being their first loss. Unfortunately the game is at home. Maybe the crowd should boo Nebraska to make it feel like an away game.

Call me shallow, but my goal was beating Texas. After last year, this was the only game I really cared about. Immature? Shallow? Silly? Probably, but its the way I feel. I would prefer 1-12 (or however many games we play) and the only win being Texas.

That makes 2 of us. I said and thought several times I'd rather go 1-12 and beat Texas than go 12-1 and lose to Texas.

But I'm still fine with getting a Big 12 championship instead of losing more games

The real question is what is Sean Watson going to do about it.

Teach the basics of catching the football.

I think we'll bounce back and beat Oklahoma State. The only other game I'm worried about is Missouri. It's at home, where apparently we suck. I think we were capable of beating Texas. The team was just too emotional, or something. I'm not sure. Or maybe we're just bad.

I agree completely. I'm not worried about OSU. We won't impress anyone against Texas unless it's a blow out.

I'm going to the zoo to work off some pent up energy

oh yeah, i guess the blackshirts are just a load of crap that no one cares about then. might as well make them pink...its just an article of clothing, has nothing to do with identity...

^ this

or every team might as well wear a different uniform every week. we have the label on the tv that tells us which team has what score. that should be good enough. actually, why doesn't each player wear a different uniform? or we could banish uniforms entirely.

and Land, you did notice I said "part," right? I don't think the uniform is Nebraska's identity. It's part of it.

I am just saying change in the uniform does not make us lose..

We would lose part of our identity, though.

I do agree that this game is very hard to peg.

Definitely. The only scenario I don't see is them blowing us out. Everything else is a possibility. I would actually be more confident if they were undefeated. Teams that have nothing to lose play better a lot of the time.

Can somebody hit the fast forward button to approximately 2:30 tomorrow? Thank you

Yes, please.

O.o

It sounds like they're saying suck instead of sack...

Ya, I re-read it and it's obvious that he's talking about the last time playing the big 12 teams.

the main reason I think it's taken out of context is because it's crazy to say something like that, heh.

all they need to do is play their average game, but not turn the ball over.

I just figured this out, I think. The tag line on this post title says "offence of" plays. It's supposed to say "offensive plays," right?

Thanks for that. I thought I was going to be the only jerk to point out that I was O'fenceded bye teh gramers.

So my cousin runs karaoke at a local Lincoln bar called the Grata, and I went out to visit him tonight only to find out that on every Thursday coach Ekeler comes out and talks to the crowd here about the game the week before and the upcoming game. And I'm happy to brag that I know some of the different defensive schemes we are running this weekend to beat Texas. Plus he showed us the video they are gunna show the team before the game. Awesome stuff.

 

So next Thursday head out to the grata, he takes questions and hangs out for awhile, and Mike Rozier even showed up tonight along with touchdown Tommie. Hadn't seen a post about this before so I figured I should be unselfish and share with the awesome board members .

I can't believe nobody has posted the video of him from 1993 on Youtube. It was a VHS called "Sixth Straight Big 8," or something like that. (Whatever the # was). And there's a shot of Ekeler in a bunch of that black goop football players put on their face and he had a short mohawk.

Does anyone have a link to the video clip following last years Big XII Championship game with Bo's epic post game rant? I've scoured the web and can't find an audio or video clip anywhere!!

he didn't say that stuff on camera
