knapplc Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 No red allowed in KSU complex Vanier no red zone Apparently, there is a longstanding, unwritten rule that no one wears red inside K-State's Vanier Football Complex. Nebraska is not directly identified as the reason for this rule, but the connection is hard to miss. "I have a red Affliction shirt that I wear, and a few weeks ago I wore it in," center Wade Weibert said. "As soon as I got down to the locker room, I realized I was wearing it. I took it off and walked around in my undershirt the rest of the time." If Nebraska is the reason for this rule, the Wildcats won't give the Huskers the psychological satisfaction of admitting it. "That's just how it is," Weibert said. "We don't get hung up too much on the no-red policy to stop and think that Coach takes a lot of weight in the Nebraska game." Key matchup — KSU receivers vs. Nebraska secondary Nebraska has one of the best secondaries in the nation, led by cornerback Prince Amukamara. The Huskers rank first nationally in pass-efficiency defense, third in pass defense and fifth in interceptions with 10. If K-State is forced to throw the ball, the onus will be on K-State's receivers to create separation. "I think their secondary is really, really good," receiver Chris Harper said. "They have two future pros at corner, and their safeties are strong. I think it's going to be a really tough task, but I'm really confident in what our guys can do." Quote Link to comment

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Coach takes a lot of weight in the Nebraska game This made my brain hurt. That sounds like something a KU player would have said last year when Mangino was still HC Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 the fact that the guy actually has an Affliction shirt means we need to win by 100. 3 Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Funny, Bill Snyder just said on CFB live that Nebraska is just another opponent...yet it's a big enough deal that they can't wear red in their complex...hmmmm Quote Link to comment

carlfense Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Why exactly do schools single Nebraska out for this? I suppose we should take it as a compliment. (Of course we don't need to tell our players to not wear purple . . . because I'd hope they wouldn't anyways.) Quote Link to comment
