Huskerballz Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Dave Sittler from the Tulsa World did an article about the Huskers and how he thinks we really don't have much to be happy about after spring practice. We'll see Dave, we'll see. Tulsaworld article Quote Link to comment
UGAHusker Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The fact that this guy referred to Larry the Cable Guy as "one of the country's hottest stand-up comedians" shows that he has no idea what he is talking about. Quote Link to comment
HuskerJen Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The fact that this guy referred to Larry the Cable Guy as "one of the country's hottest stand-up comedians" shows that he has no idea what he is talking about. Larry The Cable Guy, despite what you think of him, is one of the most bankable comedians touring today-but I digress. To the point of what the writer from the Tulsa papaer said... He really didn't say anything. He's basing his entire thought process on the fact that Nebraska doesn't have a returning starter at QB. And, while a returning starter at QB is certainly beneficial to a degree, it is but a small component to determining how a team does in the upcoming season. In my opinion, a much better guage of performance for the following season is to examine the returning starters along the interior offensive and defensive lines. An inexperienced QB working behind a veteran OL can usually look pretty good; whereas an experienced QB working behind an inexperienced line can falter just a bit. Interestingly enough, Oklahoma returns their starter at QB but lost four of their five starting OL to the NFL/graduation...so we'll see if my theory holds true. Quote Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 If that's your picture Jen then you are not only a "Babe" but you know your football. Sorry to make a non politacally correct statement but "Babe" is a complement of the highest regard in my meager vocabulay. Three things that make good football teams are the OL, the DL and the backups to the OL and DL. T_O_B Quote Link to comment

Like him or not, he is. I don't think he's incredibly funny, but I don't mind him being a Husker fan. Quote Link to comment
SOCALHUSKER Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 What a retard. It's as if he gathered all the headlines he could from ESPN and ran them through a word processor to kick out a story. Might even be worse than a story about the Huskers that ran in the NY Times last year. I'm gonna have to search for that one and compare. Quote Link to comment

huzkerbob Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I didn't even have to open the link to know who wrote this story when I saw it was from the World. If you've lived around Tulsa at all you would know Sitler writes at least one disparaging story about NU a year. This one isn't even close to his worst example. Quote Link to comment

That primary you stated about Oklahoma is the reason i think the OU-NU game is going to be better than it was last year. We have a returning starter at DT and a semi-experienced DL with a talented LB corps behind that. I see no reason, cept for maybe our offense not clicking, to see this as a good game.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not ugly by any stretch but I am pushing 40. The woman in my avatar is the same one who is in the photo in my sig line...her name is Jessica Marais. (And in my humble opinion she is a babe and a half.) Quote Link to comment
