Ouch From ESPN

Five-Star Recruit
By Brett Edgerton, ESPN.com

Lincoln police have put out an APB on the Nebraska defense. The suspects, known to have worn black shirts in the past, have not been seen on a consistent basis since at least 1999. And those who have met them say there is nothing to worry about, calling the group not only harmless, but actually quite accommodating. Reports say that if you throw something at them and/or run, they won't lay a hand on you.

On Saturday, the Ball State offense rolled up 610 yards, including 422 in the air in a 41-40 Nebraska escape. Combine that with a 49-31 home loss to USC, and you have got opponents scoring 40-plus on the Cornhuskers in back-to-back games for the first time since 1945. That is 89 points and 1,067 yards given up by Nebraska over the past two weeks. Throw in a game at Wake Forest, and you end up with 737 opponent yards on the ground over the past three weeks, an average of 245.7.

Rather harmless indeed.

Too bad we don't have a comeback. I remember the days when we could claim the national media hated us for no reason...
ESPN Sucks!

I am so tired of hearing about Notre Dame. They suck this year. Everybody knows it, so lets move on. They made absolutely no mention of Mizzou yesterday. They went on and on about how good the SEC was because Ole Miss almost beat Florida. They failed to ever mention that Mizzou handily beat Ole Miss.

All ESPN cares about is the SEC and the Pac 10!

 
That doesn't make anything they say untrue about the blackshirts. I guess we should be glad they even mention Nebraska the alternative is to be a non entity. (Baylor, Iowa St) Which is where this program is heading if they keep going down the path they are on.

He's right, but in typical ESPN fashion, he is a little too gleeful in his report of the demise of the Blackshirts.
