Posted by: Bumarooskie on October 6, 2009 6:06PM CST BUM!

Posted by: Low Country Husker on October 6, 2009 6:12PM CST Brian Thanks for squashing this quickly I appreciate your quick response on this concern!

Posted by: no nothing on October 6, 2009 6:14PM CST So is he sick and fine now or is it a academic issue? Do they fly to Columbia or take a bus. Do they leave tomorrow? The semi was loading stuff yesterday it appeared. GBR

Posted by: Dave on October 6, 2009 6:19PM CST Didn't he just say that Helu and some others had to miss practice for academic reasons? That's what I read.

Posted by: Father of future Husker on October 6, 2009 6:21PM CST maybe they had to take tests today because they were going to miss class on Thursday because of something they had scheduled Thursday night...

Posted by: Ray in Bellevue on October 6, 2009 6:22PM CST I guess we will know more tomorrow when the team flies to Missouri.

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 6:23PM CST Here we go again. Reading things into things. Academic reasons could mean anything. Perhaps making up work before they leave. Mountians out of molehills.

Posted by: "huskersRback" on October 6, 2009 6:25PM CST If flu is the issue--who are all Helu's back-ups (active)?

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 6:27PM CST Low Country: As Islander is our conscience PT is the tail twister Gofor2 handles medical issues rluben always the enforcer GBRinTx resolves coaching points Step has the recruiting division Bruno is the court jester As the female red-headed LSU stepchild of this outfit, I hereby declare your avatar to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Please, give us scenery, cartoons, anything but what you now have. Your mug kicked back in a Pawley's Island hammock would be good for starters.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on October 6, 2009 6:29PM CST But Busie GF in HK called me CUTE!

Posted by: Huskerville_50 on October 6, 2009 6:30PM CST The closer this game gets the more excited/nervous I get... This game will tell you alot about how our season will go.. A swing game for sure, we win we possibly finish the regular season 11-1 or 10-2, we lose and it could be hard to rebound to finish will 2 loses this year.. I think its important to make sure Helu sees the ball early and often... Keep Lee at about 25 attempts this game and ease him into it with short easy passes and please get McNeill the ball... I've also got a good feeling about Burkhead in this game, got a feeling he could really build off the good game he had against ULL and I don't think the kid is intimidated by anyone.. The biggest concern for me in this game by far is our secondary... They haven't done enough this year to prove to me that they can stop a passing offense like Missouri has... I feel they are capable but it is still to be seen... A distant 2nd concern of mine is definitely the play of Zac Lee.. I know VT has about as good a D as you'll see but his poor performance still worries me a little bit, having said that I fully expect him to perform well against a, what seems to be, subpar defense in Missouri... GBR!!!

Posted by: Low Country Husker on October 6, 2009 6:32PM CST Okay Busie just for you I changed my avatar to get you excited.

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 6:33PM CST Rex, Burkhead, Rex burkhead. That's 3. need any more.

Posted by: MileHiHusker on October 6, 2009 6:37PM CST With the way MU plays the run I think we could use any of our backs and still get good production. However, experience is huge when playing on the road. Good to hear no Flu. I agree that the secondary is of some concern, especailly the way the MU receivers agressively go after the football.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 6:38PM CST Thx, my sensibilities are sated

Posted by: Brian Rosenthal on October 6, 2009 6:38PM CST OK, I'm changing the blog to clarify: Helu and others had academic priorities ... they're not in trouble academically.

Posted by: Huskerville_50 on October 6, 2009 6:40PM CST Denario Alexander is a stud.. Hes a big boy and will be alot to handle... They don't have a real good tight end like in years past so that will help.. And although their RB Washington has been struggling I'd still make sure hes in check, wouldn't want his breakout game to come against us..

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 6:41PM CST Thx Brian, had you not clarified this issue, 3/4 of the team would be about to be kicked out of DONU by 9:00 p.m. (if this thread runs that long)

Posted by: Huskerville_50 on October 6, 2009 6:46PM CST Missouri's O-Line is supposedly weak this year, it would be ideal to get enough pressure on Gabbert with the front four... We do that and this game would get alot easier..

Posted by: MileHiHusker on October 6, 2009 6:48PM CST no nothing, They are flying. Not to be confused with flu.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on October 6, 2009 6:57PM CST With the Thursday game, juggling classes is more difficult. Hickman said that he has a test coming up on Friday, so the Thursday game makes preparation for the test more challenging. I think he said he also has an early class on Friday. So the late game and flight back will make it a very short night. I am sure he is not the only one. Priorities, Priorities, the life of the student-athlete.

Posted by: huskers4_eva on October 6, 2009 6:57PM CST ARE YOU READY? HOKEY POKEY!!!

Posted by: Mr HH on October 6, 2009 7:05PM CST Helu's health not a problem. LOL, remember Zac Lee broke his thumb and what did BO call it? Anyway, just rub some dirt on it! ;)

Posted by: huskers4_eva on October 6, 2009 7:06PM CST whats up with this tyler gabbert commitment stuff.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 7:27PM CST 66-0. NU. Suck it.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 7:34PM CST If T Gabb decommits, I'mma be pissed. We stopped recruiting Sean Robinson as a result, and that kid has "Beast" written all over him. If we made an "only one QB" committment to him, that pu... KID better follow through. Frankly, I'm offended that after offering him that promise, considering what the family has done previously, that he'd even glance in Mizzou's direction. As far as I'm concerned, after Bo and the staff stepped out on the plank like that for him, he should have plastered his room with Nebraska posters, built a shrine to Bo Pelini, and disowned his family. I'm only slightly joking here.

Posted by: Robka on October 6, 2009 7:36PM CST I really hate reading about Aaron Taylor having to auction off his Trophies and Championship rings for a failed business adventure. I wish there was a way for Husker fans to boycott the sale or just buy them for the minimum bid and give them back to their rightful owner. What good is bankruptcy if you can't even keep your personal items. He should have buried them somewhere safe;) GO BIG THE IRS SUCKS!!!

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 7:42PM CST VAAAASSSUP KornDoggs!!! Vat do you zay we MAX OUT on some Tiger Meat!!!

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 7:46PM CST OMG!!! I hate zis, Helu has der zwine flu and his bad academics forcing him to drop out uv zee colleges...

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 7:47PM CST WTF? So that P9X200 RayGun dude was a fake bruNo afterall?

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 7:51PM CST no, as i zed numeruz timez, zee z3 bOp iz der alter ego....;)

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 7:52PM CST anyway, i agree wholeheartledy with the salient point of this thread: the IRS sucks!

Posted by: Dave on October 6, 2009 7:52PM CST Why so many chicken littles? Bo said they had academic issues, which probably means making up for missing classes on Thursday and maybe Friday.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 7:54PM CST We HAVE to win this game, there are no ifs ands or buts, it must be done...

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on October 6, 2009 7:55PM CST big red warp up projected a 35-5 win over the tiggers (NCAA2010 cumputer sim)

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 7:58PM CST what, they are gonna get a safety on us?! I think not....

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:01PM CST Robka, still there. We have missed you.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:05PM CST that reminds me, i have to go watch the bo show soon.....;)

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:06PM CST Bru, you are absolutely correct about having to win this game. VT was a hurtful loss but not that big of deal as far as the goals are concerned. This one is big. Conference first. The rest will come with time. And wins.

Posted by: bigred-Ore on October 6, 2009 8:07PM CST Hey all. I have a what if. I was talking to a friend of mine who is an ex long time south Missouri resident and he said the problem with the weather won't be the rain but the lightning that often accompanies it this time of year. Anyone know what the rules are concerning game stoppages? Is a win eventually awarded? Just curious.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:07PM CST yup, must win, absolutely...

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:09PM CST really, all we gotta do is keep Gabby rattled, and the Tig is in the bag...

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:12PM CST Mizzou's 2 year run is OVER as of this Thurs nite!

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:16PM CST geez, i'm gonna have to get z3 on here so i can have a conversation...

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:19PM CST Everyone is sleeping. I thought we had a game this week.

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:20PM CST BTW. I saw the pic. Cool.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:21PM CST im already revved and primed, the lack of 'revvedness' by others here is disappointing and appalling @ the same time.,.. ;)

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:23PM CST Lots of yakking during the day. Productivity at work is sucking.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:23PM CST yea, shes something, SAYS shes interested but is not SHOWING much initiative....wrote u another note...

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:25PM CST Going to Lincoln for meetings. One of them is a hosted watch party. NU cheerleaders and all. Should be a blast.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:27PM CST strippers u say...oh, my bad, 'cheerleaders'....

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:29PM CST One can always hope.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:30PM CST I love it when those 'cheerleaders' jump ouuta a cake....uh, and lead cheers, i mean...

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:32PM CST I agree that we must harass Gabby. From what I have seen he can be rattled. Or at least hurried. Secondary could get some opportunities.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 8:32PM CST I wonder if Mizzou will be mounting some plaques or raising any banners commemorating their two year "dynasty".

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:33PM CST just gotta harrass him, cant let him get comfy out there...

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:34PM CST Not worried much about the O. I feel we can score enough to get it done.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:35PM CST yea, me too, i think we beat them by 14 or so, but i said that all last week... how bout dem bearzss, 3-1, yo!

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:35PM CST And the bloggers swell to three. Howdy SG.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:36PM CST perhaps the term, 'dynasty' is a bit strong...

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:37PM CST What to you think of Cutler?

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:39PM CST he's kickin butt, i mean we beat the steelers, the seahawks, the lions(whatever), but the D is much improved with the addition of Adelware Oguleye, that guys is sick! When Suh joins them next yr we're talking SB baybeh!

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:46PM CST You will never get a shot at him. He is going early.

Posted by: Gofor2 on October 6, 2009 8:47PM CST Busie, You still around? If we are triumphant against Missouri and Florida this week I'd say it my be pig roast time.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:47PM CST not so fast my friend, heres the plan, the Raidas pick him up and in a typically boneheaded move trade him to the Bears for some retread veteran...;)

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:49PM CST It never hurts to dream. Gofor where is the party.

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 8:50PM CST What retread to you have to trade Bru?

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:51PM CST pig roasts abide...

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 8:52PM CST hmmm, good question, will have to research it...

Posted by: Gofor2 on October 6, 2009 8:52PM CST Sips place. How's this for reality, it's supposed to get down to 0 degrees by the end of the week up here.

Posted by: Gofor2 on October 6, 2009 8:55PM CST Bruno How was the date in NYC? You married yet.

Posted by: HuskerPower on October 6, 2009 8:57PM CST I had to chuckle at bruno, I have been trying to tell bears fans its coming, but they just have been let down to much to believe it. And although I would love to see Suh go to the bears, You have given up any hopes of that happening by getting Cutler, now your gonna be in the middle to late first, which is Denvers now. GBR

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:00PM CST bru... C'mon. That was a DYNASTY. They had stars on both sides of the ball. Put up a lot of points. Won a lot of games. Man, those were the good ol' days.. huh Mizzou fans?

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:02PM CST BRoncos got a ton of early picks for Cutler. Hmmmmm. A sunammi could be coming to Denver.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 9:02PM CST gO4, uh, that date was in N hampton MA, was great, she's sorta giving me the run around though now...I do have another one in NYC this Sunday though, looks pretty good...

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 9:04PM CST Suh in Denver is about as interesting as Mizzou's 'dynasty'...

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:05PM CST Ming Dynasty. Mizzu Dynasty. NU reborn Dynasty. BTW. Someone said Baker could be better than Suh by the time he is done. Gotta love it.

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:07PM CST Bru. Denver is 4-0

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:08PM CST I wouldn't get too carried away PT. The Broncos have played 4 sorry ass teams to start the season. If after their next four they're better than .500, that will tell the story. Until then, I'm still hoping punkass McDaniels gets fired after the season.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 9:10PM CST I believe that about Stein....anyhoo, the League will not allow the denial of potentially the most 'sick' D line in recent memory, thats why Suh will be @ DA BEEERZSS! woohoo!

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:10PM CST Dallas was not supposed to be sorry. But that could be subject to change.

Posted by: Gofor2 on October 6, 2009 9:10PM CST Good luck Bruno I wonder if Bunny Knutson is available? Probably not, she's too busy with her movie career with Jackie Trehorn and Logjamming.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:12PM CST 2007 & 2008 Missouri Tigers Football "That's As Good As It Gets Boys"

Posted by: Gofor2 on October 6, 2009 9:13PM CST SG What's your take on the game?

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:13PM CST ^ My guess as to the plaque they dedicate on Thurs night.

Posted by: fleaflicker on October 6, 2009 9:15PM CST I hear that Dennard is going to start at CB in place of West. Not to put horns on West but I think the competition will be good for everyone.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:15PM CST My take? As always (at least until it happens). 66-0.

Posted by: Gofor2 on October 6, 2009 9:17PM CST NU 36 mu 17

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:19PM CST Gofor... But seriously (because really, even though I'll be pissed yet again, 66-0 ain't happenin'), I feel pretty damn good about this game. That is, until it comes out tomorrow that 3/4ths of the team has some rare variation of the Bird Flu. Then all bets are off.

Posted by: bruNo on October 6, 2009 9:21PM CST well, i gtg kornpeeps, brU must abide himself to bed(and watch the bo show ;) )..... the Tig 'dynasty' shall fall! lAtrz...;)

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:21PM CST For some reason, I think Zac Lee is gonna have a monster game. And I'd like to see Chris Brooks account for most of it on the other end.

Posted by: Gofor2 on October 6, 2009 9:22PM CST LOL We'll be fine.

Posted by: Gofor2 on October 6, 2009 9:24PM CST Night all

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:24PM CST SG. It would be hilarious to hear the announcers have to eat some crow about the QBs.. You knowthey are gonna be in love with Gabbert early.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 9:26PM CST Boys, the Husker Nation is not alone in being pumped and primed. FB is at a fever pitch in the Red Stick. Just laying low, getting ready. After that beatdown they put on us last year, there is a big revenge factor. I can't wait for Thursday nite; have been talking about the game so much at work, Big Red will have a big fan base in the Audubon country.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:31PM CST Good luck Busie... I'd love nothing more than to see your Bayou Bengals dump the Gators on their backsides. They certainly need to be knocked down about a dozen pegs, as I'd hate to see them as the only undefeated team at the end of the season. That media love affair will be enough to kill a person.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:32PM CST PT... I didn't even know we had a quarterback. This is news to me. Better alert ESPN.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 9:34PM CST I get stirred up when everybody talks about who will be playing the Gators in the Rose Bowl. They gotta get there first. As for Big Red, oh mercy, I am ready. Have to warn the neighbors as they will be coming to check on things if I get too loud. Do get into my games. Go Big Red

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:35PM CST #100. KAKOW!

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:36PM CST They will know his name by midnight. For sure.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 9:38PM CST We will get the game on ESPN, I think.

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:38PM CST LSU is getting absolutely no respect. Rated 4th because we don't know who else to put there. Geez. Best kept secret in the Bayou.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 9:40PM CST I'm supposed to be working on a report and my mind is on brutal tackling, long runs, and completed passes that will leave the Tigger fans running for cover. Go Big Red, nite all

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:41PM CST BTW. I think it is riduclous that they are jeprodizing Tebow like this. Good grief. It is just a game. Gotta pray for him . Like him or not.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:41PM CST Busie... What? You mean to tell me when the media chalks your team up as a loss, you get a little twitchy? I can't imagine. I mean, you just gotta know... them Gators are just way too good. Pssh. Absolutely knock the ever-loving snot outta that team! Please LSU, do us all a favor. Then wash, rinse, repeat in four weeks against Bama.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 9:44PM CST Can't leave without saying this. I do love me some Tim Tebow and we want to win fair and square but don't put him in there and risk further injury. Some things are way more important than fb ~ mainly the rest of your life. zzzzzzzzzz sleep well everybody

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:44PM CST Night Busie!

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:47PM CST I obviously missed the train on the T Gabb discussion. Nobody even wanted to take a poke at my comment above. Er'body's T Gabb'd out.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 9:47PM CST At this rate, I'll never get off here. Oh Mr. Gigante, we plan on "takin care" of the Gumps. I wondered who that Rapbama was that was on here earlier. If he's a Bama fan, we'll have to go to the forum to duke it out. I do believe there will be smiles in the Red Nation come Friday morning and gnashing of the teeth in Tiggerville.

Posted by: Miller on October 6, 2009 9:48PM CST How is everyone tonight, is it Thursday yet? Gosh this has been a nerve racking week, here to the Husker's and a victory on thursday!

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:48PM CST So far this year, One of the darlings has gone down every week. Just as well be Florida.

Posted by: Sabado Gigante on October 6, 2009 9:51PM CST If he was a Bama fan, he must've been lost. I can't imagine what interest he'd have with this site. After all, we're Scarlet, not Crimson.

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:51PM CST Hey Miller. Got your snacks ready. I here tiger jerky is really good.

Posted by: Miller on October 6, 2009 9:51PM CST Busie, hope your tigers come out on top, can't stand the Mu tigers though and hope they are on the bottom come Thursday night. I am hoping Gabbert is picking turf out of his helmet and teeth for the next week.

Posted by: Miller on October 6, 2009 9:54PM CST PT, I have been making myself sick all week, want Thursday to get here and be over with. I hope this flu rumor is just a rumor, that is all we need at this point. I feel every player, will play a huge role in this game and being sick could make us all sick.

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:55PM CST Miller, Nice looking Min Pin. You do the show route?

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 9:56PM CST I'm hoping he get several good views of the heavens (ground view that is)

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 9:57PM CST Bo put the flu rumor to bed earlier tonight. No Problem. Good diet and exercise is a sure way to avoid it. Along with sanitation and flu shots.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 9:59PM CST Miller, one of my BGFs has a min pin named Sally. God only made one of her; she's got more sense than most folk I know. PT, if they run short of players should the flu bug run rampant, you could always be the 12th man. he he

Posted by: Miller on October 6, 2009 9:59PM CST PT, I don't show min pins, but I have one and she is just a hoot. I get such a kick out of her, she is 2 1/2 and I would love have another one, but the boss won't let me. They are hyper little dogs but great watch dogs and very protective. Me too Busie, I would like to see Gabbert get a turf burn vice carpet burn on his forehead, you know a little sliding action. Don't want him to get hurt but want him to know who is pushing him around!

Posted by: PT Husker on October 6, 2009 10:02PM CST Busie, and the 13th and 14th. Might las about 3 steps as long as nobody hit me. Old bones are brittle. LOL. Been fun boys and girls. I am out to dream of tiger steaks.

Posted by: Miller on October 6, 2009 10:03PM CST Busie, min pins are very smart, they remeber things that you wouldn't think would mean a thing to them. I accidently kick my dog in the mug while putting my shoe on when she was a puppy, and ever since she stands about 10 feet away when she sees me putting my sneakers on. She is just so much fun, little things she does cracks me up!

Posted by: Busiekcreek on October 6, 2009 10:07PM CST Sally got after a dog who came wandering through the yard. She ran so fast and was so excited, she leapt a ditch, went in the air and promptly passed out. We thought she was a goner, were running to her rescue and then she comes around and takes on in a tear after the wandering pooch who has long since made tracks. I laugh myself sick to this day thinking about Sally and the "chase". Gotta hit the sheets.

Posted by: Miller on October 6, 2009 10:12PM CST good night everyone!

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on October 6, 2009 10:23PM CST Just logged in but who is this FLU? Florida Lutheran University? Are they on our schedule? These small time teams are making me sick.

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on October 6, 2009 10:26PM CST Miller, let's hope Gabbert is a bigger man than Chase....I hate it when they pick on Mizzou quarterbacks and tackle them. Its just dirty play if he has to wash his jersey. Only place I could give Daniel credit was for his girlfriend. Just wish he would have faced this year's D Line.

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on October 6, 2009 10:45PM CST Is it true that sweat from Bo Pelini's brow can cure H1N1?

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on October 6, 2009 10:49PM CST BRG, I trust the version here that Brian Rosenthal has written, as it contains direct quotes from Bo Pelini, whose word is law.

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on October 6, 2009 10:50PM CST The 49ers got rid of H1N1 by having Singletary glare at the virus.

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on October 6, 2009 10:52PM CST Is that why Crabtree hasn't signed? He was afraid of catching the flu due to having to interact with teammates?

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on October 6, 2009 10:54PM CST Crab was about 1 mile from my office today at 4949 Centennial Drive....I wonder how big the entourage was.

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on October 6, 2009 10:58PM CST I loved when Brady got knocked around in a preseason game and they asked Belicheck about him in the presser...he said it was nothing and two questions later was asked if "he could have come back in the 2nd half if it was a regular season game". Belicheck said "Who?"

Posted by: no nothing on October 7, 2009 5:18AM CST When I was watching the LSU game the other day I thought that sleazy call about excessive celebration more less handed that game to LSU. It immediately gave field position and momentum to LSU. Florida will win this game with or without their star. GBR

Posted by: no nothing on October 7, 2009 5:52AM CST LJS. On yesterday's front page of the paper I see new arena talk is surfacing again. The new study says this thing will generate $260 million and create 1,200 jobs. I see they have now slid the women basketball and volley ball teams into the mix too. It further states $804 million and 8,000 new jobs would be generated just during its construction. With all of the money that is going to be generated by building this thing as we are being led to believe prior to the vote, I kind of wonder why they want the Lincoln taxpayers to pay for it (the vote in May)? One would think that such a money maker would have investors standing in line to get a piece of the action. GBR

Posted by: bigredblondo on October 7, 2009 6:51AM CST ok, so if tax payers ante up how do they receive their portion of the revenue? sounds fishy. as for what BO says and what is on huskerillustrated, i see no confusion what so ever. BO's quote, "Roy wasn’t feeling well today but he’s fine. He could’ve practiced.” so, yea that could be called an undisclosed illness, makes a better headline. again, No nothing, you are an alarmist who feels you deserve more info from our coaches. i disagree, but do love your fire and passion for DONU.

Posted by: bigredblondo on October 7, 2009 6:59AM CST to clarify my view that no no is an alarmist, yesterday he asked if huskers even practiced this week?? were you suggesting that this staff would take a time off before conference opener or were you just goofing because we havent had updates? because the practice schedule for this game was reported in LJS (twice, i think) as well as the fact that the media would be shut out for most of the preparations. is that what irks you? no media coverage? some people just feel entitled to unfettered access to the team, i like how Bo is running this thing.

Are they on our schedule? These small time teams are making me sick. ______________ Sun Belt Conference, no doubt...thought we already won that conference this year...

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on October 7, 2009 7:59AM CST Morning all, I've been having withdrawals but just haven't been able to get on here much. I guess my take on everything is I'd love to have as much confidence as a lot of other people but I don't see this being a blowout. I'd love to be proved wrong but I think it will be pretty close. I still see us pulling out the W but lets not think that Mizzou has all of a sudden become some slouch team. The argument goes back and forth about "not playing anyone" and our reply becomes "we at least played V-Tech" but lets not kid ourselves, while neither team played great in that game, they could have played better. My prediction is 35-24. As for the sick/not sick thing with Helu, do you ever stop to think that it messes with the other team just as much as it does us fans? I think we tend to get a little more worked up then they might but don't you think some of their players see this and go "alright, the run game won't be working". I think Bo must have a degree hidden somewhere in psychology. Look how excited we are about this year's team, if we listened to just what Bo said you would have thought we were 1-3 other than the other way around. It's real tough for me not to spout off to some of the younger crowd of Mizzou who have now jumped on this bandwagon of their's and think they have the next team of the decade or something but I just sit and bide my time, waiting for the Huskers to pull through and rip into them come Friday. Go Big Red

Posted by: no nothing on October 7, 2009 8:03AM CST I tend to believe the Huskers can win on Thursday night in a close game that will probably be determined by turnovers. It is going to be real wet with a 90% chance of rain according to the weather channel. They have had 10 days to prepare and the flu is of no concern, so we are good to go! GBR
