JGS30 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Even I have to say this guy is a little off his rocker.... http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/1340735.html Quote Link to comment
fro daddy Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Little late to the party on this one JGS30, but yes, even MU fans think that Mike De'Armond is drunk and off his rocker half the time..... Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I found the RB comment particularly funny. I think Derrick Washington is a very good back, but to say that Helu isn't as good as him is crazy. Helu had a YPC average a half a yard better than Washington, 6.4 vs. 5.9 ypc. I wouldn't put Castille in the same category, but he is a very good back in his own right and NU clearly has the best RB stable in North. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Perhaps Mike De'Armond should leave the professional comments of Big 12 Football to professional, he clearly doesnt know what he is talking about. Its times like this i hope NU wins the Big 12 North, so i can personally slap that article back into his face saying STFU you drunk! Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wow. This guy is abso-tooting-lutely nuts. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Here, really, is the main thing that leads me to believe Nebraska will not win the Big 12 North and could finish behind either Kansas or Missouri. The schedule. Kansas plays arguably the top two teams in the Big 12: hosting Oklahoma and playing at Texas. The guy's logic is a bit, er, difficult to follow. Quote Link to comment

I think that by seasons end you'll see that CU has a plethra of good young backs, that could end up being the reason why I think they'll finish #2 and god forbid maybe #1 in the North. I also think that Colorado's schedule helps them out BIGTIME! They get Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska at home. Granted they play Okie State and Texas away, but as much as I hate the Buffaloes, they very well could be riding a 9-2 record going into that game with Nebraska, even though I have them beating Texas, and its only a hunch because Texas always seems to beat OU and then screw everything up by losing later and I felt the only place it could be was vs Colorado. So as long as Hawkins doesn't start his kid at QB they should be, as much as i don't wanna say it, rather good. Quote Link to comment

Scratchtown Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm not saying Colorado will or will not, I have my own opinion, but i mean nebraska could finsih 6-6 too. Thats why they play the games. I mean we could end up being like Georgia and have a load of injuries once fall camp opens (knock on wood) Quote Link to comment

CU's offense isn't like NU of old where TO used a mix of power runs and option/edge runs to create diversity and balance in the offense. CU needs some passing game to keep teams from stacking the box on them. I am not sure they can do this effectively. Not to mention their D-Line is highly suspect this year and they are switching to a 3-4 without seemingly having that plug you need at NT to make the 3-4 work. I am not sold on CU at all.

What about a team playing a harder schedule, leads him to believe that they'll have a better record then a team with an easier schedule? Quote Link to comment
lilred Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Remember last year when we all said we were going to demolish Colorado? Colorado could very well beat us this year and a lot of other teams. I know most of you guys just want to rip on them but they've played us close or won the past few years. Quote Link to comment

I know most of you guys just want to rip on them but they've played us close or won the past few years. Playing NU close most years doesn't mean that CU is a good pick for the North. They did lose to MU 58-0 or something like that and did have a losing record. Some teams just play well or get up for certain teams, doesn't make them very good overall. KSU seemed to have UT's number for a couple of years, didn't make KSU any more of a contender those 2 years did it? Quote Link to comment
