Big Red Combine

2009 Big 12 Championship game. Never have I had the full range of human emotion in such a short period of time. It went from ecstatically hugging and high-fiving everybody, to wtf, okay well maybe they'll miss it, back to WTF and than fade to black. Numbness, the entire drive back to our hotel. 09 Va Tech is another one as well....Damn you Tyrod Taylor. Damn you.

I used to work with a guy at Gregg Young whose name was Mike Hunt. Thankfully, he went by Michael. The dude probably got it in all times in life.

Zac embodies what Nebraska football is all about. Doing your job, and not complaining if things don't go your way. Ok, maybe the hair gel isn't Nebraska football; but either way, he will remain one of my favorite Huskers.

Offensive Scheme: TCU's offense Offensive Cord: Paul Chryst, Wisconsin Line Coach: Alex Gibbs, Houston Texans QB Coach: Josh Heupel RB Coach: Tim Beck WR/TE Coach: Ron Brown Defensive Scheme: Match Read Zone Defensive Cord: Carl Pelini Def Line Coach: Carl Pelini LB Coach: Anyone not named Craig Bohl or Kevin Cosgrove DB Coach: Bill Busch Head Recuiter: Tim Beck

I agree! Scott Frost was hated in the beginning! Everybody needs to calm down with the TM hate; he's a freshman. Yes he was. But what I find disconcerting is Casey Martinez trying to get some pull in the program with Bo. I just don't want to see us hit the tank when he graduates (ala Crouch leaving) and have to rebuild again. Putting all your chips in the center of the table tends to end that way. But what do I know?

Mods, graphic design folks, whoever; how about making a Huskerboard shirt with the logo on the banner of this sight, kinda like when the Big Red Code shirts were out?

Diamond formation would be a good addition to the book. With Martinez, Rex, and now Aaron Green in lined up along side of Taylor, and Legate in behind Taylor; would be easier for him to flow one way or another as a lead blocker. Put Ben Cotton at TE and split Brandon Kinnie out wide. If we go to a more north-south running game approach, look out for younger guys like Yusef Wade to make a name for himself complimenting Rex if Green redshirts. And Kenny Bell will be a stud, no doubt.

Look a lil somethin like the veer huh? huh? Love the pic response.

Blackshirtsguru, I agree on the veer. I'd love to see ran out of the pistol with a damn pitch-back in motion. Maudfather-the screen is damn good idea as well. Especially the middle screen that we used to run with Cory Ross. Although no one can run it quite like Porkchop.

I love Huskerboard. I've seen boards like soonerfans.com, and texags; and both suck. Seldomusedreserve (the Clemson board) is cool. My rivals subscription ran out today and don't really feel like renewing it because of those sky is falling gossip hair salon ladies over there. GBR Huskerboard.

My take is fullback trap, straight ahead iso, power option, dive, and play action off of inside run plays. Discuss.

It's like getting married, going on the honeymoon, coming home, going back to work. Come home from work one day and the lady is bitching. FACT

2009 was like a bunch of junkyard dogs. Everything about that 2009 team was unconventional in today's football. But we won. The losses that year were some of the worst to endure, but the 09 team was fun to watch with the defense coming through time and again. Seems weird, but 2009 will be one of my favorite Husker teams in terms of sheer effort and heart.

There are a few of us (19-20-21) year olds who don't quite remember that. Same thing goes to the folks who tell us "act like you've been there before." Well, what if some of us haven't? Doesn't mean you have to get all giddy over 10-4. I came of age during the dark days of the 80s, when we lost eleventy bajillion bowls in a row, and folks would hearken back to the golden olden days, the early 70s. So even then I knew Nebraska had higher standards than yearly heartbreakers to OU and some southern team in a bowl. If you weren't there for the ride in the 90s, take it from us old folks (I'm 34!) - it happened, and it is where Nebraska is supposed to be. We may never win 3 (should have been 4) titles in one decade again, but we ought to snag one now and again. And 10-4 is NOT acceptable. Having said that, we have to take our lumps early on in the B10, especially since it looks like Wats ain't going nowhere. I didn't really mean to have the post in that context. I merely meant that, while I'm disappointed by the way we finished 10-4, I'll still take it over sitting at home watching bowl games, wishing we were in one. I didn't start rabidly following NU football until 2002, so hearing from my Dad, I thought Nebraska was the best of the best, and historically we are. In my time as a diehard fan, I've put up with 7-7, 10-3, 5-6, 8-4, 9-5, 5-7, 9-4, 10-4, and 10-4 again. 73-44 record in that time span. Still, if we consider this rock bottom, than we have it pretty good. Just look at OU in their days of futility in the 1990's. Makes me a bit sad, that I wasn't around yet for 1970, 1971 and don't remember 94, 95, 97. Looking back and at clips of those years, makes me ridiculously proud to be a Husker. I wouldn't have it any other way. Just desperately wanting another National Title. Seems like every big game lately, we've came away with heartbreak. None have hurt worst for me, than 05 TT when LeKevin intercepted it, and than fumbled it back, 06 Texas, 08 Texas Tech, 09 Virginia Tech and 09 Texas. To the older generation, everyone says that 83 Miami hurt the worst, but to me 09 Va Tech is the loss, that when mentioned, takes me back to the very place I was watching Tyrod Taylor pull some magic out of his ass. It's good when the losses hurt, it means your getting somewhere. Somewhere back closer to the upper tier of college football. I would love nothing more than to win the Big 10 title next year. The way I see it going though, is taking our lumps early in the season, and than having to put on Bo Pelini-esque stretch run ala 2008 or 2009.
