Yeah he's a charmer...

Our most legitimate heisman contender is rex burkhead not martinez.... Ah what the hell Martinez 4 Heisman!!!!

This is a good point. I, too, want Barney to succeed and to exceed the Pipeline years if possible. We all want a fantastic O Line. It's not about Barney, it's about the results. I don't care whose name sits next to the "Offensive Line Coach" title as long as it's a prospering unit. If it fails, it's time to make a change no matter whose name it is we're changing. The one time I spoke to Coach Gilmore I found him to be very open, engaging, pleasant - a lot more approachable than Bo, for example. I wanted Gilmore gone not because of Gilmore, but because our WRs couldn't catch the ball (or hold onto it as they ran down the field untouched). Barney has been accomodated with a number of quality OL commits in the last three classes. If he can't get it done over the next 4 or so years then it may be time to move on. Having said that, I like the combination of Barney and Garrison, and am looking forward to a productive year from the OL.

BoRomies?....No?....Ok....

It's just weird because I've been referring to the FCS as D2 for years here, and this is the first time I've been corrected. It's a learning moment for me. I'm a better person now. And now seven of us do it at once....Nothing like pounding the point home, huh?

Rome and Bo are BFFs. There's pretty much no chance of Bo getting upset at Rome. Rome just gushes when Bo is on his show. It's almost embarrassing. I've noticed that too.... Rome makes HuskerNation blush everytime Bo is on....

Don't beat yourself up over it....

D1-AA.... formerly anyways.... not D2....

UT-Martin is a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, which is in the Football Championship Subdivision, or D2. D1-AA.... formerly anyways....

McKweon has definitely gave the World Herald some life. They seem to have a loaded staff, and seem to put out twice the stories/blogs that the Journal Star does. McKweon, Shatel, Chatlein (who most don't like, but I appreciate his honesty), and Nwaytaya(?). Hard line up to beat.

Which Nebraska newspaper do you think covers the Huskers better.... Up until this year I preferred the Journal Star, but the World Herald has really done a wonderful job lately....So, what say you....

The SEC has decided not to extend an invitation to aTm to enter the SEC conference. They are now at the mercy of Texas and the Shorthorn Network.

When do the preseason polls come out? I saw OWH had #20 by Nebraska on their website.

I see him as a possible solid contributor. Im not suggesting Bulkhead should be looking over his shoulder.

I have always found Purify to be both very talented but also overrated.

Offense-- I'll say Jake Cotton and Collins Okafor. Defense-- No one would surprise me really. After all Bo knows Defense.

Anyone buy it yet?.... Is it worth it.....

It would no doubt make some sense to redshirt one, but I don't think any of them will. With the lack of depth at the position I would think the coaches would want to find out which could help most, and a real game atmosphere would be the best way to make that call....

Which of the three incoming freshmen backs (Green,Abdullah,Heard) are going to have the most significant impact for our football team this year? I think it is very possible that all three will see the the field plenty, and even more likely that atleast two of the three will have a noticable impact. My money is on Aaron Green having the largest impact (650-700 yards), and with Abdullah providing some season long assistance as well (400 yards or so).

Good catch Zoogs, it was 2009. I just wonder if any of these potential LB coaches (especially Els) can hold Ekler's jock strap when it comes to coaching LB's and on the recruiting trail. His attitude and energy will be hard to replace. Hopefully he can rejoin us in the future.

Nebraska holds their own in the recruiting world, had we not lost Tevin Mitchell, the Bryant kid, this might have been a top 10 class... Based on Average stars (which is how classes should be evaluated anyways) I think we are somewhere around 7th or 8th. I agree about the Northeast not being a hot bed for recruiting, but I have heard alot of people say that we will have a agressive interest in that part of the country. Seems overrated since we've always been a school that recruits nationally.

I never considered Malzahn a bad hire for Arkansas at the time. The timing was questionable, and how it was done also.

If he is a well-respected coach in the Northeast, then maybe that can be a help in our quest to recruit the Northeast/East Coast more in the future.

Being reported on Unsportsmanlike Conduct. If so, this is quite the underwhelming movement and new additions to the staff. Hopefully Bo is that much smarter than everyone else. This is going to earn reminders of Nutt hiring Malzahn with Mustain in tow. The press will run with that story roughly five seconds after it's officially announced. This is an odd development, and overall we have made very underwhelming (reported) hires. Having said that, just be cause these (reported) hires lack sizzle, doesn't mean that they can't coach. Heres to hoping we've hit some homeruns with the new hires

Here's an idea. Give Beck the OC job. Forget about looking for a co-OC. Move Ron Brown to WR. Move Cotton to TE. Hire a new OL and RB coach and call it good. I like beck, but with the lack of offensive success, a fresh start on O might be needed....
