  1. Tweeting a high school kid about his commitment status, really? Also, everyone is now ready to crucify him because he is listening to other schools, after he committed to us... I think we should pull Suttles offer. He lacks the character and values we want in a recruit being he decommitted and came here.

  2. God forbid Burkehead or Ameer were to go down, that would leave a huge load on a true frosh and a guy big enough to play FB. Heard fits our offense and provides solid depth. Remember 2010 when Burkehead and Helu were out? This is a position not to roll the dice on, especially when we use the run to set up the pass.

  3. I don't want to drink the kool-aid, but if Stanley Jean-Baptiste can offer any stability at the other corner position, our entire defense will improve. Also, I think Beck completely redeemed himself in the second half. The multiple looks we were throwing out there will give many teams fits. Last night the team got their swagger back, a bit.

     

    Minnesota: Win -- This is a nice tune up game and should help us build on last night

    Michigan St: Win -- We get them at home, they are playing Mich and WIsc prior. That's a pretty nasty run

    Northwestern: Win -- They barley beat Army! chuckleshuffle

    Penn St: Toss Up -- Happy valley and their defense scares me

    Michigan: Toss Up -- Not sure they have been tested, but Robinson might make are D-line look silly

    Iowa: Win -- 72 to 7. Screw Iowa!

  4. This game is a program changer. While we have made progress and got some big wins under Bo, we have failed to win in the really big moments. Nebraska beating the top rated team in the Big 10, on the Road, in our first conference game ever would shock the world. Not an Appalachian State over Michigan type shock, but it would jolt the memories of our glory days to the naton and be the first statement of "Nebraska is back". Big programs win big games. I'm not taking the position that this is a must win or the only means to a successful season. We still have a clear path to the CCG if we lose, but this game represents a step forward in where we all want to be.

  5. Enough of this pissing match. I love the fire and feel it too, but the fact is, both teams have played a FCS and WAC team. No one is really in place to say what's happening Saturday. Clearly both sides feel they have the upper hand, probably because we went 1-1 last year. It's a measuring stick game for both squads and the first BCS competition of the year.

  6. I regretfully voted Polk. I'm hoping our offense finds a solid rhythm this week. We have 4 capable backs, along with Martinez. If the O-line gets it's crap together, there is no reason we couldn't have multiple 100 yard rushers. That remains to be seen. After last week, expect a heavy does of polk as well. Our D-line needs to prove their worth this week.

  7. We are young across the board. I'm glad you're ready to assume the Pelini brothers can't make adjustments on D. We are clearly back to "2007". The offense is concerning, but we have playmakers and have two more games before it gets real.
