huskermaniac Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I just want to say.. IF V-Tech beats Alabama and IF we beat V-Tech, we will easily be in the Top 10 and we become the media darlings of the year, much like Alabama last year. Expect a lot of love from ESPN this year. Its not that they hate Nebraska, they just were being honest the last few years. Now that we're on our way back, they will not shun one of the largest fan bases in the nation. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 You know it could just be that since NU fans are getting really excited about this year, that ESPN goes with the flow and makes good comments about NU just to gain fan attention from NU fans... Someone get Mike Hill a ticket to a Husker home game so he can learn how to pronounce the names right...i mean i couldve swore he said Ray Halu. Quote Link to comment

They want to increase viewership to increase ratings and ad revenue to increase corporate profits? Quote Link to comment
lilred Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 ESPN doesn't hate Nebraska... Kirk Herbstreit and Mark May hate Nebraska... : but i have noticed that herbstreit isn't quick to hate nebraska now that bo is our head coach. pelini was a senior and co-captain at ohio state the same time herbie was redshirt freshman. there are some lines that even kirk won't cross and calling out a fellow buckeye is one of them. prediction: when tressel leaves ohio state, expect herbstreit to be the first to publicly (and loudly) call on bo to go to columbus. I agree. Quote Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The problem with ESPN is that over the last decade, they've become all about the front runners instead of balance reporting from across the entire FBS landscape. Since NU has fallen from the elite, they have little interest in paying NU any mind. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The problem with ESPN is that over the last decade, they've become all about the front runners instead of balance reporting from across the entire FBS landscape. Since NU has fallen from the elite, they have little interest in paying NU any mind. It isn't the last decade, it has always been that way. We were just always elite and in the NC hunt so we got love from them. It will come around again, besides this isn't even about ESPN. These are the rankings in the video game NCAA Football 2010 set by EA sports. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 prediction: when tressel leaves ohio state, expect herbstreit to be the first to publicly (and loudly) call on bo to go to columbus. not sure why you'd want to go there, it's a terrible state and town. it's his home state, his alma mater and recruiting would be *way* easier there than Nebraska. cripes, if he just put a fence around ohio, bo could probably put together a national championship pretty darned quick. add too it the fact that the main stream media spooge themselves when talking about ohio state and its one of the few programs that match the status of Nebraska as a football power, you have about five compelling reasons why he'd leave. before leaving LSU, bo told his defensive unit that he had been offered his "dream job" and had to go. i'm sure people there were scratching their collective heads trying to figure why he would leave a great program like theirs for the midwest of all places. it's so cold in nebraska! and it even snows sometimes! but bo got a taste of what husker football was and if things would have been different, he would have been head coach even sooner. (pud might have kept his job if had hired pelini... but i'm thinking pelini would have killed pud within a year.) the people of this state hold bo in VERY high esteem. and i'm thinking bo and carl really enjoy the husker lifestyle and the fact that their program is *THE* program in this state. bo may be like roy williams at north carolina. williams ran the kansas basketball program for years but was from north carolina, chapel hill alumni and was mentored under dean smith. williams was a tarheel assistant coached michael jordan when the tarheels won their national championship in '82. the links were there to be sure. williams had everything he could have wanted at kansas. it was a blue chip program, won 80% of his games, mad the post-season every year he was a coach and had 9 conference championships to his name. UNC came around once and offered him a job in 2000. after much soul-searching, he turned them down once. three years later, UNC offered again. williams said as much has he loved coaching kansas, he couldn't turn down his alma mater twice. will bo do the same thing? dunno. time will tell, i guess.

HUSKER 37 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 In ESPN's EA Sports College Football Top 25, we are listed at #21. Follow the link and check out the video for teams 21-25. They show a highlight of Suh breaking the line to sack Tyrod Taylor (VT), Mike McNeil going upside down for a score (again) and Roy Helu grinding it out for a touchdown. Nothing major, but it's been a long time since ESPN saw enough in NU to put us on the brink of the Top 20. I think a solid win against VT could be good enough for 15-18 in the polls. NU --> <-- ESPN Gettin back to the good ol' days... Not seein 21-25... But did notice "There is no place like Nebraska" and another one of our fight songs being played while they showed #10 VaTech...Do we share similar tunes? Quote Link to comment

Good points hack. I think about it once in awhile. I hope if Bo ever decides he has to go back home, it will be after he has a couple of NC titles under his belt. Roy Williams leaving didn't really surprise me, but I thought he would stay till he at least won, one NC. That's what got me thinking Bo could leave if Ohio.ST came calling, a few years down the road. Lets hope not. Let them have Stoops instead GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Bo can go back to Ohio State if he wants, as long as we get someone to take over the program like Kansas found after Williams left. Quote Link to comment

My understanding is that he also moved back to be closer to family, specifically his ailing parents. If this was the case, then his move was perfectly understandable. Quote Link to comment
