Me too. This was a watchable game unlike the last three debacles.
IMO the all played very hard today.
Maybe we can get some coaches who demand this EVERY week.
I, too, was very pleased with the passion and effort the team put forth today. This is the type of effort that has been lacking.
Did Callahan call plays in the second half? It seems to me that once Nebraska got a good lead, the play calling changed.

Very true. The Texas coaches knew if they kept running the middle with the all out blitz that they would break through eventually.

Perhaps if the D line could come off of blocks then Cosgrove wouldn't have designed a blitz package for every play of the game. I know it's his job to put his players into position to make plays, but like I said before: we HAVE TO BLITZ in order to get any pressure in the backfield. And what about the missed tackles in the fourth quarter?
Did anybody see that play on third and long where Charles was bottled up on the right side of the field, broke 2 or 3 arm tackles, reversed the field, and picked up 14 yards for a first down?? Cosgrove put his guys in the right spots there, but nobody wrapped up and made the tackle to get the ball back for the offense. If you're going to give it your all for 3 quarters, you might as well make it 4. It's not like they don't practice all year for this sh#t, anyway.

The kids played hard and with passion. Winning is as much attitude as anything. These kids have to LEARN how to win again.
After Texas' last score, they could have given up. But they did not. You have to give Texas a little credit, too.

They need to learn to play 4 qtrs...consistent football. They are so up and down....like a bi-polar football team.

b!^@h, complain, and say what you will about us losing today but I was at the game and these kids played their asses off! There was a lot of intensity on the side line. Our players were constantly high fiving each other and Watson was really cheering the offense on. These kids left it all on the field today and I really appreciate that! You could tell that they were really wanting/trying to win today. There was nothing greater then to see 80,000 UT fans pooping in their "britches" for 3 and half quarters wondering if they were going to pull it off or not. I also loved how the Blackshirts (yes they played like BLACKSHIRTS today) were knocking the piss out of McCoy on just about every play. If any of you students see any of the players around campus this week, you walk your a$$ up to them and say THANK YOU for giving it your all! I am proud to be a Husker fan! :woo

Because I think he is an unprofessional assjockey, at least my perception after the events of 2003/2004. Also in response to the numerous Bogasms that are dished out on this board.
