  1. Being the big Husker hose bag. I'd like to see a repeat of past championship games. NU vs. Miami/Florida/Fla St. or Tenn. I'd take any of those in heartbeat. Talk about some early season heartburn
  2. From the shear number of upsets this year does anyone play a cake schedule anymore in college football? I know a few years back the NCAA reduced the number of scholarships each team could offer, and it really seems to have introduced a level of (hate to say it) "parity" in the college football ranks. Being a staunch Nebraska fan we've seen a sharp drop-off in talent depth at all positions over the last 5 to six years. I know the last few years have shaken a lot of the confidence levels of the Husker nation (and in truth, we were due for a good spanking year or two). We don't go into games seeing any opponent as easy anymore. Fla St., Fla, OU, and Miami (with an NCAA b-slap) seem to have cycled into and out of a low point. I see a lot of good talent going the way of smaller schools where they'll get a chance to play these days as opposed to going into storied programs and waiting in line. Is this just me, or do you guys see this? KS2K was right on when he said that its tough to get teams to play home/home games. Most programs don't want to risk an early season loss so it has been difficult to schedule teams between schools. I heard a radio announcer bashing the big 10 as being over-rated because Mich gets stomped by OR and goes back to being dominant within their division. But surprise the Ducks get smacked by WSU the next week, who got beat by ND, who's been waylayed by everyone else (especially Mich). Being from a school that's won a few national championships and following every game, most times, winning the big one came down to dumb, blind LUCK. Every one of the national champs won a game they should've lost because of freak plays (ours was the 1-handed grab in Missou, OSU had at least 3 of them last year). Every year the polls seem to mean less and less. In my mind OSU is the champ until someone beats them. Once that's done... they're no longer champs. I don't understand how they can be ranked any less. It's obvious the pollsters have no idea what they're doing. You guys spend a lot of time bashing schedules here. Is there really a soft schedule anymore??? I just don't see it. BTW - Before you guys go on a Husker bashing fit against me know that I think we're over-rated too. I see the games... we will eventually run into an offense with the weapons to get around our defense. I hold no pre-conceived notion that we're winning a National Championship this year (but maybe in a few wink ) PS - Have you guys seen the Fitzgerald kid play from Pitt eek! Holy cow!!! Can a sophmore win the Heisman.
  3. I'm on the Woods bandwagon.. 7 TDs in a game is a head turner. If he puts in another 5+ TD game it will be hard to argue, though I'm sure there's still plenty of arguing left in this post. If it were possible I'd give it to the Sooner D, but no chance in that happening.
  4. I'm with KS2K on this. Woods is all guts and talent. Williams is a flay(me)boyant biatch. Big 12 North is where it's at!!! Oh, wait...
  5. I know this is probably off everyone's radar, but who do you guys like in the 'bama/N Ill' game? Someone was bugging me at work about the winner and I don't have a clue. I'd lean towards Alabama, but N Ill is rated 29th.
  6. Amen... brother. They should all end like that. It be easier to get tickets because the old codgers would be kicking the bucket
  7. Good lord.. My new-found favorite school. Go KSU.
  8. Dailey is true freshman and looks about the right size for it. He has a cannon for an arm and all the local papers are calling him McNabb-esque. He just really looks like a boy among men (until he throws the ball). He actually was pretty elusive as well. He made several guys miss, but like a rookie he fumbled on a goal line dive (though he was complaining about not getting a play in when he came to the sideline). More growing pains for a new offensive system. It's just hard to tell how good he is when he's playing clean up and the line has pummelled on one of the worst teams in Div-I for 3 quarters. You're absolutely right about Lord, but he doesn't make many mistakes as long as he doesn't throw the ball. So though he should be out I'm guessing he'll see a lot more time. Cotton was right on when he said he didn't want QBs that are runners that can throw. He wanted QBs that were throwers that could run if they had to. Don't look for future Lord/Crouch/Frost-types QBs in the new system. Lord is hopefully the end of the line. KS2000 how's Ell? I hate to see other good Big 12 north players go down. When they're not playing the Huskers I always root for them to steam-roll the opponents. You gotta get him back before Texas. We need you to tenderize the horns before we roll into the lone star state.
  9. Fellow Husker fan and it was good to see Dailey on the field getting some practice. He was a QB type we haven't seen around here for a long, long time (exciting). There's no chance of us winning a natl. championship this year so I hope they take their time and don't rush him in. I can't for the life of me see them moving away from Lord (as bad as he looks some times) unless he's injured, but letting Dailey get play time and work the mistakes out is probably the smart move (especially when the games are out of hand). He is a lot of fun to watch. I'm guessing with a good year in the weight room they'll have us rolling again. Now if we can just get the RB pipeline opened up again. I haven't read anything on the new talent. Anybody heard anything. On the defensive side there's nothing but upside. I think we're going to find a lot of young talent wanting to play for Pelini. OU can't have all the fun.
