So nobody should ever celebrate, ever, because on every single play someone could be potentially seriously hurt. That's what you're saying. The player should make the big hit, but stop and see whether the opponent laying on the ground is OK before celebrating every time, and if they don't, they're showing an inhuman reaction. After we sacked Cousins those several times, we should have gotten up, checked his health, and then celebrated. That is so wholly unrealistic. When do you ever see this happen? Watch Lawrence Taylor's reaction after Theisman's leg is snapped in two. It's less than celebratory. LT invented high energy play. What is your point about this? The spartan player walked off the field under his own power. This hit ended Thisman's career. These are not the same.

Now my impression of you is so different. It went from the other picture to First impressions aren't always the right impressions. We've all learned something today.

Visitors sit wherever the scalpers have their tickets.

So you're saying he should just breathe through his eyelids?

I picture you stomping around like a three year old throwing a temper tantrum as you write this. Did you stomp your feet and say I'm really mad! ARRRRR!

See what I did there? Why do you say people can't complain about the quarterback unless they can throw a perfect pass, but then you complain about the defense? It's a message board. People get to talk about the quarterback without being able to play the position. Right?

These threads always make me laugh. But the one on the Spartan website is funnier than ours. You should see what they think Pelini looks like.

I notice a lot of your posting is kind of debbie downer. What do you like about this team? Do you think it can get better? Are we going to lose most of the rest of our games?

http://www.ncaa.com/news/ncaa/nine-noon/2011-10-23/college-venues-you-have-check-out Top nine college venues you have to check out according to the NCAA. #2 is the Nebraska Coliseum. Nebraska Coliseum in Lincoln, Neb. -- This historic venue was constructed in 1921, and while it once housed multiple Nebraska teams, volleyball has been the lone tenant since 1977. The Cornhuskers have taken advantage of the home-court advantage through the years as they entered the 2011 season riding a streak of 149 consecutive sellouts at the 4,030-seat coliseum.

The store across from the stadium is Huskers Authentic and they have a few left behind the counter, but no Blackshirts gloves.

Martinez needs to improve on not being a sophomore. He'll be better as a junior and better as a senior. He'll never be a very good passer, but maybe he can make better decisions with more experience.

Beck had better have some max-protect packages set up for this game, because they are going to blitz on every down.

Won't the sheep get jealous?

I think you're right that everyone is doing what is best for themselves, and you can't blame them for doing it. Texas made the LHN because it's in the best interest of Texas. Baylor is suing because it's in the best interest of Baylor. Texas A&M is leaving because it's in their best interest. The only problem with that is that by thinking for themselves and nobody else, they're not building that community you need to keep a conference together. This is why the Big 12 will die. Everyone joined it for the wrong reasons. It was all about money and competing and it forgot to bring together schools with like minds.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a round of applause for the forum stenographer. Smh I'm busting chops today. You can ask anybody.

Then don't read it. But don't sit here and cry about it, because nobody is reading this thread to see how much it affects you personally.

If it's not coming out from the team, who are you to give out their secrets? You're the guy telling everyone at the bar that their friends are having marriage trouble or they can't have a baby because your friend is shooting blanks. If you aren't on the team it isn't your secret to tell. You have a major problem in understanding if you can't figure that out.

What? Why would you get flamed for posting such a solidly-researched story like this? I'm familiar with the culture among UNL's profs and the general opinion of the football team of said profs. The majority of these people are not fans of the athletic dept and would report any coach who asked for favors for their players, especially Osborne. I dont know what professor's youre talking about but i knew a lot of professors that loved football,except one..she was also a kansas grad. Im just telling a story i heard, from someone who works at UNL and also i actually saw the thumbnail drive incident take place (yes the football player actually left it there and someone came and edited it). Im not saying all the athletes are like that, I think its moreso the starters/bigname players but this obviously happens everywhere. Like with duke bball, kansas bball, nebraska/osu/texas/nd football etc. I don't think Nebraska's academic records all happened because everyone cheats.

That article looks like it was written by a High School sophomore. How did you even run across this thing, and why did you immediately think this was something so important Husker fans would need to read?

You were a high school senior for 2+ years?

We don't want or need another Colorado.
