It is very clear that homosexuality is NOT a CHOICE!! Most gay individuals do not get sexually stimulated by the opposite sex, so that is there only option. Experts mostly agree that it is genetic or something that is instilled in a person in there developmental years (way before a person can intellectually decide for themselves what type of person they are attracted to). Is sad to me that a vast majority of homosexual suicides are from religious families. The gaurantee that a gay person is going to hell must be a huge weight to bear for our young that did not "chose" who they are attracted too. I would say to anyone who thinks it is a choice than put it to the test yourself. Ready! If your straight then now you chose to get stimulated by the same sex, even just mentally not physically. Just once, nobody will know! No Luck huh! Some choice. I think everyone is bisexual. Just a matter of where on the scale you fall. Are you 99.999999 percent hetero or homo or somewhere in between.

If we change our defense to the 43 and LD is responsible for covering the wide side of the field then his tackles may decrease. Whereas in the peso he had responsibilities to cover the whole field from his LB position.

Minneapolis might be a place to visit for a week. I don't think the B1G area is an option to live for me but I think for getting an education or to play football its one of elite areas to reside. GBR

Hey Herbstreet, A skunk is still a skunk if called by any other name, except OSBORNE! I dunno if Jesus did all of the same things that the devil did then, ya, WHAT? Thank goodness some coaches find it important to instill integrity and honesty in there players and coaches, especially when dealing with the NCAA! Maybe Tressel is feeling a bit vulnerable now, well earned!

Does Texas control the NCAA also? If not, they will get there turn eventually. Oil has priviledges!

I honestly could not have said it better Herc. Bohls is showing his arse in this article by bending over to shake his finger at a runaway. Almost all the years during the BIG 12 are forgettable for most husker fans, especially during the "Dark Times". Don't get me wrong we had some great athletes along the way but after the 90's run, something was bound to give. TO's retirement mostly. I am just glad we were smart enough to vote NO on the intial formation of the conference because we knew how agregious it was in favor of Texas. It's your conference Texas, do as u will, without us thou, for better or worse we are not one of your siblings any longer. Salute!

Taunting should always be penalized and also Unsportsmanlike conduct. In some cases I think career or game suspensions are necessary to the player(s) capable of severe acts of either. The severity of there actions should dictate the punishment to themselves along with a 15 yard penalty on the extra point attempt or kickoff, which I would be ok with the other team deciding where the penalty will be inflicted. Under no circumstance should a score be removed from the scoreboard if the penalty occurs afterwards. Excessive Celebration only makes sense to me if you allow a certain amount of time to celebrate in the first place, 20 sec. ie. Any celebration done on the field beyond that time will be considered as excessive or taunting and will get flagged as such. Any actions directed at the opposing team or fans during celebration is taunting!

It is apparent that some of the games will be decided by unsportsmanlike, taunting, or show boating penalties that now will negate the score and put teams in long yardage situations to make a first down! They will also remove game winning scores that occur late in the game. I, like most of you, can hardly stomach the idea of this happening and being the deciding factor as to who wins, but it will. I don't see that the severity of the penalty warrants the punishment of losing the game in this fashion. I believe that there should be a time limit allowed for after touchdown celebrations on the field. Let's say 20 seconds or so, after this time frame then excessive celebration may be called if the team is still celebrating on the field but I still think taking away the score is to harsh.

Welcome to the B1G conference Husker Nation! Wisconsin at Camp Randall under the lights. This will be a war! (drools) GBR

I would not underestimate the ability of Carnes to learn the playbook before fall arrives. It is early in his progression and whether its against the 2nd or 1st string defense, he executed well! I see the same senario that some have already posted- the chance that Martinez gets banged up and then a door will open for Carnes to play if he doesn't get the initial "starting spot". At the very least he seems good enough to play before we put another hobbled QB in. I also know Bo is not afraid to start the guy he thinks will give this team the best chance to win. GBR

The "if you win out even against the worst 11 teams in America" comment was a bash on the pro BCS people who say the regular season is a "playoff" system. Just making a point that it could not be a true "playoff" system if a team wins every game and still has no shot at the "title" game (TCU) regardless of its strength of schedule. So if you are a 18 yr. old HS FB standout who chooses Nebraska because of there precious strength of schedule shouldn't mean Hawaii doesn't have the better team on the field any particular year and deserve a shot if they run the table.

It seems to me the move is more for allowing Gilleylen to play the Runningback position on 3rd and long situations. Having another guy on the field in these situations who knows how to run routes and can catch the ball (hopefully) will add to our diversity. I don't think he will play much so it is not a big loss or gain either way.

Marrow seems to be a great fit for short yardage situations on both sides of the ball. I could see him being a MLB if we tend towards the 43 defense against the BIG Ten and also a Quick hitting power Fullback that can block. Both types of contributions will be welcomed on this team.

The yearly pass/run percentage is hopefully tied into what the teams strengths are. If the players of a team execute the run plays better than call more running plays. Good to Great play callers are that way not so much by the percentages they call run/pass but its the great play calls in critical situations that makes them so. To be able to take advantage of defensive weaknesses and have the offense execute well is something I hope Beck masters.

Terrell Farley is my all time favorite Husker LB, he was lighter than most linebackers but his blazing game speed and tenacity were second to none. When I watch current LB Lavonte David it reminds me of TF. As fast as LD gets to the ball, TF was FASTER! Thanks for the post concerning Farley.
