huskrinmissouri Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 The fake didn't surprise me and it was there. What did surprise me is that they took a knee with all of their timeouts in regulation and they really only needed about 30 yards to at least give their kicker a shot with the wind. They had the momentum and even if they throw an interception we didn't have any timeouts and we're heading into the win. Needless to say, I may have lost a couple of years off of my life. Great coach, great game. Early thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I agree 100%. That coach has HUGE stones! Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Don't know who the AD is at ISU, but the guy has an eye for talent. Two home runs in a row--Rhodes and Chizik. (I am one of the few who thought Gene Chizik was a better coach than his record at ISU indicated.) Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 big stones maybe, but he irritates me the way Spurrier does. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNLimbo Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I think it'd be safe to say he is the "les miles" of our conference. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Coach Rhoads, mad respect Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 He has to be a great motivator. Gets his kids to play full bore. They knew they could win today and almost pulled it off. Crowd was in it definitely. Quote Link to comment
gratefullred Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Â Â The man always does more with less. ISU's roster is top to bottom lacking talent, but his teams always come to play and never give up. I give Paul Rhodes a salute. Quote Link to comment
brasky Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I don't know. If I am Arnod I'm pretty unhappy with him right now. If he really wanted to go for 2 I would have liked to have the chance. Instead of some lame low percentage fake with a holder throwing the ball. Don't we always have Hagg or someone back there? Quote Link to comment
808Husker in KCMO Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I am jealous of the fact that his balls consists mostly of iron and has a carbon content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight Quote Link to comment
WYHusk Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Balls of steel. He had his Osborne moment today. Quote Link to comment

sd'sker Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Balls of steel. He had his Osborne moment today. it was not an osborne moment though. to's moment was pure class. if he kicked the pat, we tie and win a national championship. he went for two our of respect for the game. there was no overtime back then. Â cpr, although courageous, was playing the odds. if you can win the game against a top ten team with one play, you take it. Â and i agree with the op, if you are going for two, put your offense on the field. they were doing fine and had momentum. i was more afraid of the offense taking the field than a fake field goal. not too mention, who tries to block a pat at that point? play the odds, give up the field goal, but watch for the fake.

I'm not saying it measures up to TO's moment ... I'm saying it was HIS Osborne moment. If that makes sense. Should quit drinkin', prolly. Quote Link to comment
