HuskerfaninOkieland Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I love reading this guys' articles NE Statepaper Big 12 star Nebraskans love to hate: Chase Daniel, Missouri quarterback. Maybe it's the baby fat that fills in his oft-unshaven face. Maybe it's his confidence/cockiness as he sits in a film room, predicting touchdowns to come. Maybe it's his "high school defense" jabs at former Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove. Maybe it's that he's unusually hard to sack. Maybe it's that he befouled the football shrine that is Memorial Stadium by seemingly eating a booger. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 All-name team:One from each school. The best we could find. Well, to fit our bad jokes. Nebraska OL Max McShane: Walk-on lineman also moonlights as a private detective. Texas OL Nicolas Jean-Baptiste: Just cool. Missouri QB Chase Daniel: So maybe it's the name. Sounds like a buddy of Patrick Bateman. Iowa State WR Euseph Messiah: Amen. Kansas LB Sal Capra: Versatile name. Leaves the door open to be a loan shark or a movie director. Kansas State DB Adrian Stryker: Also the name of the lead character in Steven Seagal's newest direct-to-video classic, At One With Death. Texas OL Buck Burnette: Yeah, you knew we'd have a "Texas" name in there. Colorado DL George Hypolite: A better diet than South Beach or Atkins. Oklahoma K Tress Way: I've got two buddies who live on that street. Oklahoma State LB Orie Lemon: Motown name. Lead singer of the "The Corvelettes," right? Texas Tech WR Darcel McBath: Also known as Shakespeare's "clean king." Texas A&M is a squad full of boring names, so 2008 prospects seem suspect. Quote Link to comment

Maybe it's his "high school defense" jabs at former Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove. Maybe it's that he's unusually hard to sack. Maybe it's that he befouled the football shrine that is Memorial Stadium by seemingly eating a booger. You left out the better part of the article: He's talks it, then walks it. He knows it, and shows it. He's equally adept at executing the read option and running a pure, five-wide receiver spread. He's a leader, a resourceful, tough guy in an imperfect physical template for a quarterback, and, if Mizzou really is here to stay, the most significant player in the Big 12's young history. Yeah, you just read that. For if the hotbed of talent in Kansas City and St. Louis - and the rest of Missouri, for that matter - narrows its wide gaze just to the in-state team, you have to wonder: Just how many more Grant Wistroms, Mike Ruckers, Dan Alexanders and Will Comptons will Nebraska - or anyone - get? If Missouri can get land the best seven or eight in-state recruits each year, and supplement it with some Texas steers, then NU's climb to the light seems a lot harder and longer. Note: Mizzou's gotten commits from 9 of the top 12 player in Missouri: Dalton, Blaine QB 6'1 190 Blue Springs MO Blue Springs South Meiners, Jack OL 6'6 314 St. Louis MO Chaminade Richardson, Sheldon DL 6'4 281 St. Louis MO Gateway Stricker, Kerwin WR 6'2 190 Washington MO Washington Wilson, Andrew LB 6'4 225 Peculiar MO Raymore-Peculiar Darris Ford OL/DL 6`5" 283 Hazelwood East TJ Moe S 6`0" 190 Ft.

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 One reason Nebraska is hitting Texas harder. Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Team most likely to surprise: Iowa State. If you could draw up a perfect Big 12 conference schedule, it'd be the Cyclones' slate. No Texas, Oklahoma or Texas Tech. Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska at home. Two of the weakest league teams, Kansas State and Baylor, on the road. Beyond that, Iowa State played noticeably better as the season progressed. Second-year coach Gene Chizik seems committed to running the ball and stopping the run - good thing, considering ISU has to break in a new quarterback. Don't be shocked if Iowa State upsets some top 25 team's apple cart. Who gave Cy a writing gig? Quote Link to comment
