Starting to understand why the fall camp reports said our offense was giving the defense problems at times....

Any more Tmagic moments and we have to try Carnes.

I want to line him up at QB!!!

MURICA

and how would this be different then our current quarterback who has less throwing abilities than a high school quarterback??

I'm more inclined to agree with the coaching staff, than your assessment based on youtube videos of Jamal Turner in high school.

Yeah, turn the offense over to a high school QB, who has been taking the majority of his practice reps at WR!

Just glad we were able to make the jump, rather than sitting in limbo.

Tigerboard seems convinced MU is a shoe in for the SEC.

I'm not pushing the panic button, but jesus christ, we STILL have no identity. We sure are multiple, though!

Ok, Barney Cotton has been escorted out of the booth, we're good!

I'm concerned about the offensive line as well, but in Bo we trust. 24 Hours!

Thank god we have a defense.

Pistol is giving them fits.

Hard to gauge how good they are based on this team, but one thing is sure, 28 is a gamer.

Not sure how familiar this board is with Jay-Z, but citing his song "reminder" is a great example. Historically we are as impressive as any program in the country, but it's been over a decade since we one a championship. It should also be noted the chokes we have had in a conference championship the last two years.(YES CHOKE) I for one am excited and love BO, but sick of these chokes. It's time we give everyone a reminder.

Did any service ever update his 40 time from camp?

2) I am very confident in Tim Beck. Although he has never been an OC with sole responsibility of an offense, it seems that we are going to be absolutely fine under his direction.

Based on a spring game and fall camp hype?

2) Wisconsin is beatable. Wisconsin has not proven that they can be a big time program year in and year out like an Ohio State has.

Neither have we since the late 90s or early 2000s

3) The Big Ten last year was not as good as the Big 12 was. That really is a fact.

We sure will find out.

4) We are Nebraska and it is time we start acting like it. The only team that we did not match up well with in the past two seasons was 09 Alabama. There is not another program in this land that you can look at and say that they are much better and way ahead of us. There is not and I am tired of hearing even our own people say that. They are incorrect in their analysis when stating otherwise. There was not a team in the nation last year we couldn't have played with and beaten. We were a handful of plays away from being serious National Title contenders. Our top 50 guys could strap it on, wearing that red N on the sides of their helmets and play with anyone in the nation I garuntee it.

Here's where I have to wave the BS flag, big time. There is a fine line between potential to win the National Championship and doing so. 2010, we choked in our four losses. You can argue hypothetical situations, but that's not what happened. I remember the pains of Texas, A&M, OU, and let's not forget the abortion of a game that was Washington. Champions fine ways to win games. Even if our "top 50" guys are as good as anyone else, this is a team sport and the last two years, we have failed when we needed to win. There are paper tigers and real ones.

That said, I agreed with pretty much everything else.

I don't think it's an issue of misspeaking. You think the goal of the team is not to win every game?

"We have all the pieces to win it all this year," senior defensive tackle Jared Crick said. "Not just the Big Ten championship, but the whole thing."

If the offense can score nearly at will and dominate the line, I'll feel good. If we have a South Dakota State moment, I will be drunk on here and screaming about how the sky is falling.

Super conferences are inevitable in my opinion. The Pac 10 was ready to go to 16 temas when the Big 12 nearly fell apart just last year. The pieces are already in motion. More teams equate to more revenue through expanded tv markets. The Big Ten already pays over 20 million dollars to each team and adding media markets would only increase this. The 16 team WAC is not comparable to the prospect of a super conference composed of major level programs. We left the Big 12 for a reason, and those still stuck there see the writing on the wall.
