Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 13, 2010 12:23PM CST Next year's OC: Scott Frost (currently coaching Oregon's WRs). No word on whether he will be bringing Oregon's TE and Special Teams coach, Tom Osborne, with him. Shawn Watson will be the head coach at Colorado or UCLA.

Posted by: ancient1 on September 13, 2010 12:40PM CST Exiled, quit trying to dump the current coaching staff. None are so bad as to try to get rid of them. Offense needs more balance. Passing game is weak. No deep threat is apparent. I like seeing the seconds and thirds getting significant playing time; good for depth now and for future.

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 13, 2010 12:50PM CST ancient, As I have been saying, we are 2-0 and it's all the coaches' fault. I'm not trying to dump the current coaching staff, I'm just saying it's likely both our coordinators could leave to pursue head coaching opportunities.

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 12:50PM CST Winners of the Husker's Game Predictions: Week 1-Score 49-10, LSK had 49-10 (The Prophet 48-10) Week 2-Score 38-17, Joe Silicone had 38-16 (The Prophet 41-17) Unfortunately you can only collect pride in this game.

Posted by: fleaflicker on September 13, 2010 12:51PM CST belated BAM! IMO our defense played a hell of a lot better the second game this season then it did the second game of last season. And our offense is playing a hell of a lot better these two games then it did all of last season. (After Zac got hurt along with most of our offense). So I'm kind of scratching my head while some people are "ba humbug" even before our conference play starts.....cripes we haven't even lost a game yet. The only thing that I can figure out is that there are still some of the Cody Green supporters who are still a little p.o'd about Tmart stealing the show..........get over it!! Go Big Red!!

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 13, 2010 12:52PM CST ancient, No deep threat? You may be right there. I haven't forked over the cash to watch the games, so I could be wrong, but from what I read, Mike McNeill gets open deep and T-Mart can't hit him. Paul is only a deep threat when CG is at QB to float him a deep post. Curenski Gilleylen has disappeared from the face of the earth.

Posted by: fleaflicker on September 13, 2010 12:53PM CST Hey Mr. Prophet how's your prediction that CG would start the Washington game going?

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 12:54PM CST OK, unless your name is Pelini, you can't coach here unless you have ties to the program. Either as a player or a former coach. Then no one could diss them as it would be against the RED code.

Posted by: charger on September 13, 2010 12:56PM CST Wut up Trash?? You getting anything worked out for the TexAss game?? PT was asking me about it Saturday. Can't do the golf, got to work, plus we don't know the start time.

Posted by: Outside The Box on September 13, 2010 12:59PM CST Exiled - Do you think UCLA would take on another ex-Buff coach if/when Neuheisal gets canned?

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 1:01PM CST Flea I haven't read much of anything to do with the Cody Green stuff that you are speaking of....I have read many people say he should get some series as well for more experience should TMart go down. This is a strong possibility in this offense if he's not careful along the sideline especially... I for one am just glad to see a playmaker behind center....too many people were looking for excuses for our QB situation last year. Or crediting them for all the wins (DBP).

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 13, 2010 1:01PM CST I'm actually not sure any BCS conference school would make a run at Watson...but I thought Colorado/UCLA would make for good speculation fodder.

Posted by: Outside The Box on September 13, 2010 1:03PM CST RE: Curenski Gilleylen - After the game on Saturday, there was a player in a #11 jersey walking off the field in street clothes. Couldn't tell if it was Curenski or Andrew Green

Posted by: Eagz on September 13, 2010 1:04PM CST So I'm goin over this "Interpretation" of the new rule at the end of the Lions game that cost them a touchdown and consequently the game. And I'm wondering if there's ever been a worse call in history. And I can't think of one. However, "IF" there were, it would probably go something like this: A team wins a conference championship, sometime after the game is over, the officials go back and decide to make the game one second longer which gives the team in current possession an opportunity to try a field goal. Bear with me, this is hypothetical. Let's say they make it.....game over. I guess that would be worse, but it's hard to imagine such a chaotic situation. One would have to assume that under such rediculous circumstances, that the officials may have been takin money under the table or something. And to add to the chaos, what if the winning coach and QB played it off as if they knew exactly what was goin on the whole time, like they had it under control.......ok, now I'm really out there!

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 1:06PM CST Flea Actually, if you look back to those odds....I had all three at 3/1 to start at that game. My hunch was that was the game that Lee's performances would relegate him to the bench by that game. It just happened much sooner. I was told by most that Lee would start (repeatedly). I believe your order was: Lee TMart Green (plus a transfer) My final one? Green TMart Lee I guess 1/3 beats 0/3? It's all in fun man.

Posted by: "huskersRback" on September 13, 2010 1:07PM CST anyone seen OWA yet play at UCLA? --NU almost got...

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 1:08PM CST As most people who work for a large company do, if other opportunities present themselves you look at them. Many fatcors come into play not the least of which is family and living conditions. Not saying you take them but you owe it to yourself to look. I don't think he has accomplished what he wants to here yet, so I don't look for him to move. could be wrong however, which would make many here plumb happy.

Posted by: N_trepid on September 13, 2010 1:09PM CST I see enormous improvement and enormous potential all across the board. This team has talent, depth and tons of youth. Never seen this many redshirt freshmen and true freshmen on the field at once in my life! I thought we very wisely used this game to get meaningful experience for our younger players. I'm not hanging my head over this performance. Yes, we have some things to work on, but this is such a young, dynamic team with such electrifying, dedicated skill players, that I can't see us doing anything but getting better and better. Roy Helu rolled like a rail dragster. Rex Burkhead was breaking ankles. Taylor-Made completed the track-meet atmosphere.... And then there's the D. Wow. Six turnovers, two pick-sixes, crushing sacks, blanket coverage, and such high-quality depth at each position. These guys definitely improved from week 1. If they can make this kind of improvement each week, if they can become fluent in the system, the nation best watch out. Love this team! Love having quality coaching! GO BIG RED!

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 1:09PM CST Charger Thanks for reminding me. I do need to gauge the interest level of this so perhaps I'll post something on the main page. I suppose I could just make 3-4 tee times in the morning and see who plans on showing....but without any knowledge of a game time or another LITR Party during this game, it's kinda tough. I'm hoping after this week's game we may know something....

Posted by: throw46 on September 13, 2010 1:18PM CST Been out of the loop. I was very wrong about the QB starting spot. I'm shocked that Lee didn't start. I thought it was an maybe injury reason. Then he didn't play at all last game. Green surprises me continually with what a great team mate he his. In spite of how difficult it must be not to be starting.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 1:22PM CST Trash, Did you watch the game? Maybe it was just the circumtances but I though Green to a step back in the 4th quarter when he got his shot. What is your read on that. Or anybody else for that matter.

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 1:23PM CST Throw God post...and honest. It's got to be pretty brutal for both these guys....I feel for them. I guess I'm less surprised at TMart starting, just when it happened. I saw a guy coming in behind Green and possibly making some "wow" plays and finding more and more playing time. From "spot play" to becoming a fairly large part of the offense if he played well. Regardless, we are getting to see some pretty solid football these days (compared to where we've been) which for that, we should all feel grateful about.

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 1:28PM CST PT Yeah, I didn't necessarily see the "step back" I guess. Of course, I didn't see the "step forward" that everyone thought they saw vs WKU either. He made a few nice throws that any D-1 QB should make and a nice deep ball. Good decisive running. But nothing that blew me away. I don't know how much you could really take from the 4th qtr. To me, he should of come in one more consecutive series since he only handed the ball off once and Helu takes it to the house. Can't tell you much, only that I hope he's ready if something happens....

Posted by: charger on September 13, 2010 1:29PM CST U DA MAN TRASH THANKS

Posted by: throw46 on September 13, 2010 1:33PM CST Trash ....thks for the reply. BTW....How is Driveby taking it, as the General is # 3? Haven't seen much of his posts in a quick review, for that matter where the Hell is Ray? I'd think he'd be pleased.

Posted by: mr.richard on September 13, 2010 1:36PM CST This is the problem with games that get out of hand in an 8 minute period of time. It makes it difficult to take anything away from the game on the offensive side of the ball. There is clearly a lack of consistency at this point. We haven't seen an ability to take the ball and go 8 to 12 plays and put it in the end zone. - I don't think that's necessarily because we can't, but we certainly haven't done it yet. The only thing I can take away from this offense in the first two weeks is Martinez is fast. My biggest concern going into Washington (and on down the road) is our red zone efficiency. If we can't put TDs up on the board 70% of the time or more, I think we end up right back where we were last year. Henery field goal after Henery field goal. If I see us be methodical in the redzone this weekend, I'll be sold that Nebraska will be a top 10 team the rest of the season.

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 13, 2010 1:38PM CST DBP is taking it just fine. We will see how it plays out. Imart looks interesting at qb. Trash is this your place?

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 1:40PM CST Throw DBP is in a little bit of denial claiming he made a last minute switch to TMart....so that is amusing. But he has other things on his plate. I can't recall if he's said how close or if his family is in danger, but the fires near Boulder are a problem. Evidently he has/had a family in his house for awhile. I hope things are going well. Ray is pretty excited. He posted once or twice. I could actually feel the spittle through the monitor from his enthusiasm.

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 13, 2010 1:44PM CST Trash, the family is still here ma and pa and 3 kids. Their house was totaled. They are looking for a rental home at the moment. Other than that all is well.

Posted by: Miami Beach Husker on September 13, 2010 1:45PM CST If NU does not turnover the ball, we will win this game handily. We are just a better team. The only way Washington and the crowd get into it is if we put the ball on the ground and give UW a short field. As Bo has said, we execute, and play our game, good things will happen. No way UW plays with us if we take care of the ball and make them go +70 yards vs our blackshirt defense. Oh, and Wats and Cotton, please do us all a favor and teach the boys how to push the line of scrimmage and bang out a hole on 3rd and 2. We will need to control the ball at some point, soon. It will cost us a game or 2 if we don't learn to get 3rd and shorts. Come on guys, this is not rocket science. It is all about attitude, intensity and superior line coaching. Barney, come on now, coach em up. If Bama can do it vs top 20 teams, so can Nebraska.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 1:46PM CST 8 to ten yards a carry kind of hurts long sustained drives. They are over too quickly. But I see the point for sure. In the first quarter we had to settle for a field goal. the rest of the time they tended to put the ball on the ground. Some of that should be a credit to the other team. They are playing a game as well. But, that said, it should have been worse.

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 13, 2010 1:56PM CST And trash I did make the change to Imart but I had lee #2

Posted by: bigred-Ore on September 13, 2010 1:57PM CST On the point of 3rd and 2 or short yardage goal line I really think they need to run Trey R north and south not east and west. I know they said they don't want to change their play calling based on which back is in the game, but com'on guys he is 238lbs and I believe runs a 4.5 And by the way what the heck was Trey doing jumping over the pile? When you are 238lbs with a head of steam you ARE the pile. JMO

Posted by: N_trepid on September 13, 2010 1:59PM CST BTW, can't help but wonder how much of Bo's post-game anger sprang from the officiating. I didn't get a chance to see the game, but I've seen multiple reports that some of the penalties were pretty sketchy.....

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on September 13, 2010 2:00PM CST Trash..I believe he has Larry David at his house, right? Would make a good episode of "Curb". Was hiking Yosemite Saturday so I only got to see 10 minutes of highlights on Youtube. 8 fumbles? Yikes. The picks by Gomes and Thenarse were quite impressive...Denard's as well. D-line? "Mr. Enderle, we would like to give you a close up look at our field turf." Sheesh.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 2:01PM CST Big Red. That was his version of straight ahead I guess.. There was nothing there and he tried to make a play. Ball on ground is not good.

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 2:02PM CST DBP, really? DBP Overdoing It

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 2:04PM CST BRO, Of course Idaho had 11 players. two cheerleaders and the mascot in the hole but that should not matter. I think they saw that coming. :)

Posted by: ChadMO on September 13, 2010 2:08PM CST How big are Idaho cheerleaders anyway? Hi yall.

Posted by: bigred-Ore on September 13, 2010 2:12PM CST I know you're right PT but you don't keep a back that size around for his dance moves. lol Plus I saw in an article here on LJS that Trey is the best receiver of all the backs. Like to see the kid become that third running back threat. Probably need it before this campaign is done.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 2:17PM CST Agreed BRO, and the play before the "leap" was dead before it started. Some of us were screaming fullback in honor of NO NO. Chad, Not sure about the Cheerleaders but that mascot.......

Posted by: d_schlake on September 13, 2010 2:25PM CST Since this is the first road game of the year and a road trip to Husky Stadium that Nebraska has made in '91-92 (huskies won NC in 91) and '97-98 (NU won NC in 98). Is it just coincidence that the team who won the first game of the series also won the National Championship?!?!?! How bout this year being possibly "the... year" again for Nebraska? Just something to ponder. Oh... and the huskies have approved a $250 million dollar stadium improvement starting in 2011 (the team will play at Quest Field in 2012 while construction is underway)... so visiting husker fans don't think the University is lettting a great stadium gradually crumble to the ground (I heard it is in terrible shape this year).

Posted by: d_schlake on September 13, 2010 2:28PM CST little link on the husky stadium improvement: http://www.gohuskies.com/genrel/090210aaf.html

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 2:30PM CST Schlake Wilderness Ridge #14. Looks like you layed up? Smart, but Sheesh.

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 2:34PM CST Good link. I like the part where I'm "motorboating" at the stadium.

Posted by: micropterus_salmoides on September 13, 2010 2:39PM CST Haven't even watched the games??? explains the Pollyanatude.... GBR PACT???? The absurd contradiction stored called, yada yada yada Since when did PACT mean: Gee wiz the team is neat I hope they do well this season.

Posted by: big red 1 on September 13, 2010 2:41PM CST Bo will have everyone pumped up for this game. There will be no let downs. Trash: I had them picked wrong also. 1=Green 2=Martinez 3=Lee

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 3:00PM CST So big red 1, never use your advice at the horses? Trifecta not your bag? Going on 4 am Tuesday here in HK, got my quota at around 2:30 am. Boy I went to kick him and he clamped down on my steel toe boot hard, he died but had to do some scrapping to clean off my boot? Huskers bring their A game this weekend? Trash talking golf, for me like watching paint dry? But for others, it is a fun sport I suppose? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 3:14PM CST fleaflicker, Belated Bam? What the ____? There's no such thing. You can't bam 10 minutes into the convo. Consider this your belated bam scolding! Shame on you. Ban the Damn Bam! Already. People, please. BTB! GBR!!

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on September 13, 2010 3:19PM CST Interesting on the stadium....Stanford did something similar (got rid of track, lowered the field) but did it for $90m and started digging the day after the last game of one season and opened the following season in the new stadium....and all areas of the stands were demolished and replaced. Probably cheaper and easier because the old structure was glorified HS bleachers on hills. Their new stadium is the best in the area (49ers and Raiders play in old dumps). Its not Memorial but is nicer in terms of concessions, etc. Didn't hurt Stanford that a billionaire alum donated the money and made his $$ in construction and oversaw the whole thing.

Posted by: "huskersRback" on September 13, 2010 3:19PM CST (ban the bam--good politics)

Posted by: BUCK4NU on September 13, 2010 3:21PM CST Ban the " Ban the Bam" Concentrate on something else if it bothers you that much! I'm just sayin!

Posted by: big red 1 on September 13, 2010 3:26PM CST Wrestler: Thats why I don't bet. We just get better and better.

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 3:28PM CST Wha? Did you say Ban the "Ban the Bam"? Now my head is spinning. Well, to that I say Ban the "Ban the Ban the Bam". Y'know, most reasonable people think the "Bam" is stupid. It makes no sense and is lame. huskersRback agrees: bam is lame and to Ban the Bam is just good politics. (whatever that means) I'm on a mission, don't try to stop me. BTB! and GBR!!

Posted by: big red 1 on September 13, 2010 3:30PM CST WOW is all I can say!

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 3:32PM CST Thank you.

Posted by: "huskersRback" on September 13, 2010 3:32PM CST ban the bam...stop the war, and NU NO. One by Oct. 16th!

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 3:37PM CST Wrestler "The Other big Red" sure enough put it on Fla St. Epic battle approaches in the Jerry Dome.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on September 13, 2010 3:46PM CST I actually think this week will be bad for Washington. Idaho's QB was ranked #4 in the QB rankings for the NFL... and this weeks QB is ranked #1. Washington will have a better OL, but our DBs are the ones who made the plays this past week... so I looke for a minimum of 3 INT's this week. WU's defense is weak, and they def. aren't fast enough to catch T-Magic if he gets in the open. Prediction: Nebraska- 45 Washington- 14 T-Magic ends the game with 157 yrds Rushing, 2 TDs and 132 yrds Passing, 1 TD Helu will have 122 yrds rushing, 1 TD Burkhead 52 yrds rushing 1 TD, 30 yrds receiving Niles will have 77 yrds receiving, 1 TD Henery will have 1 FG for 48 yrds Anyone wanna take me on this and see who get's closest??

Posted by: big red 1 on September 13, 2010 3:55PM CST I'll add 2 points on that as Crick gets a big hit on Locker for a safety.

Posted by: BUCK4NU on September 13, 2010 4:04PM CST HH One of the reasons you stated you didn't like it was because they didn't have anything to say. My point is what you have to say is just as bad. This blog has always had something for the first guy or gal on a thread. It used to just be 1. It migrated to Bam. if you don't like it don't read it. Live and let live! Why do you care what others do? Concentrate on you! BAM! We beat Washington in a close game. We may end up winning by more as long as we don't turn the ball over.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on September 13, 2010 4:06PM CST big red 1: hmm good call... but it has to be Crick for you to win now lol

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 4:10PM CST BAM is an elective. As is Sheeeez. Or GO Big what ever you are talking about. Or posting here. Or cooking, or fishing, or golfing. Or posting here.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 4:12PM CST Secondary takes 1 pick to the house.

Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on September 13, 2010 4:13PM CST I vote we change BAM to BOOM this year... because that is the sound I hear when T-Magic takes off running... BOOM!

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 4:14PM CST PT, I agreed with you on another thread, about athletes or FB players and no matter how you motivate they know their caliber of competition? So NU running out to big leads of course, not sharp play all the way through, as I expected with predictable wins? This weekend, is the game NU needs, a game of more respect, as to what could happen? And because of that intensity, I think you see elevated play for the Huskers, that will look more like they play continuing, from here into conference foes? Washington poses a challenge at their field, that the first two opponents couldn't match, and therefore a sharper play in response, by the Huskers? This is where their rubber meets the road? I have confidence in Coach Bo and staff, that they will be ready for the challenge in front of them? But way before the Jerry Dome, OU has AFA this weekend and they took BYU to school this past weekend? And then on to Cincinnati, that seems to play well at home? So OU can't afford a letdown, I think AFA, could be the most dangerous one, this weekend for their nonconference foes? So another weekend of drama for the two Big Reds? I think NU will win 38 not thinking Washington's D, is that great, maybe wrong? And Washington will get some points 24? So big Husker win 38 to 24, hope its more one sided than that for Big Red? Their coach Sark, and his family lineage, I have alot of respect for as well? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 4:18PM CST BAM!!! Time for a little summary after watching the game a 3rd time. First off.... the DB's are excellent. No shocker there... but still impressive as can be. Gomes, Thenarse, Dennard, Prince.... really all of them including LaVonte David were literally running the routes for the O. David looks great to me. He's gonna be a player. Already 'gets it' as far as Zone coverages go. Really impressive. Then the DL got after it. All of them... including Thad Randle and Josh Williams made plays up front. On O... needless to say... I don't like our O much. We are getting big plays in the run game.... but if somebody keys on that... and they will... I'm not sure TM can get it done in the pass game. Overall... pleased with the improvement and we are waaay ahead of last year. gbr

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 4:20PM CST No mere mortal could ever defeat the BAM!!! It's bigger than that.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 4:22PM CST Steve Sarkisian. I always worry about Morman coaches as they seem harder to beat.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 4:23PM CST Wrestler, I am hoping your 24 is a bit much. I like the 38 however. I know the Jerry Dome is a long ways off and many things, like injuries etc can happen. But what a way to end the big 12 for NU. A classic match up. And the winner get a chance to play for the ring. ( I guess it is a crystal trophy but you get the point).

Posted by: big red 1 on September 13, 2010 4:23PM CST Stepn: I think that even if someone keys in on the run that Martinez is such an explosive play maker that it will not matter much. His passing is 60% or better. Oh hill do, hill more than do

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 4:23PM CST Trash's shoes. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://static.funnyjunk.com/pictures/weird_shoes_11.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/87244/Nice%2BShoes/&usg=__0DXHYgcATeVnXw8wXrTfw8ai03I=&h=308&w=400&sz=28&hl=en&start=156&zoom=1&tbnid=h5yYlpbrTm7GjM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=195&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dweird%2Bshoes%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26channel%3Ds%26biw%3D1016%26bih%3D570%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C4374&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=578&vpy=281&dur=1276&hovh=197&hovw=256&tx=108&ty=120&ei=_5GOTOf4CNHPngeptrC-DA&oei=ypGOTN2PJYSclgf95p3nAg&esq=10&page=11&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:156&biw=1016&bih=570

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 4:34PM CST Fans are very hard to satisfy. For the last several years we have passed to much. Ya gotta run the ball we screamed. So now we run the ball. and quite effectively although against not so good competition. The QB is completing 65% but nothing much deep. but we are scoring in bunches. (again the competition thing). Point is we are evolving in to a running team which we all wanted. I think we don't quit until somebody takes it away. And like BR1 said Martinez is gonna be tough to take away. Limit maybe, but not take away.

Posted by: fleaflicker on September 13, 2010 4:35PM CST PT.......I too think the Sooners and Huskers are going to meet for the BTC. In fact I've already got a good lead on some excellent tickets for the game.

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 4:37PM CST Don Tray is supposed to be a Thumper, Not a Jumper. hopefully he will learn

Posted by: BUCK4NU on September 13, 2010 4:41PM CST OSH The guy who seems to get the best yards after contact is Burkhead.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 4:45PM CST PT, yes the 24 pts. I guess doesn't reflect the dominance of Huskers as maybe their up late in the game by 38 to 17 so a late 4th QTR. TD thrown by their QB? FSU got their last TD in OU game late and with 2nd stringers in the game, for OU? So scores get closer during mop up time, sometimes? I do think NU will have a significant lead and what happens at the end, doesn't change the outcome? A big win in Husky stadium will happen for Big Red, regardless of score? I don't see it as a close one at the end? I THINK THIS IS STATEMENT TIME FOR THE HUSKERS TO THE NATION! Meaning I think this is probably the nonconference game they have been pointing to and waiting to arrive knowing the victory here at Washington means more to others judging and how they look? This was their target game? Oh I know all coaches say we take them one at a time, but athletes are young men and they get pumped for games like this one coming then the inferior competition previous? Human nature coaches fight with all the time for their players? CAN YOU FEEL THAT BLOOD AND PAIN! GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 4:54PM CST Y'all Bammers, I get that it was used to signify the #1 post. But to Bam in the middle of/out of no wheres, is unconscionable. Unfathomable. Y'know 30 threads in and ya go "bam" : thats like sprinting in to your mid term test just as everyone is finishing and yelling, "OK, I'm here! Let's begin". And BTW, extolting the "Ban The Bam" policy IS saying something. Its stating my position (firmly held I might add). Whereas simply saying bam is conversely sayin nuttn. And Step, I know its all your fault anyways, but us mere mortals have a higher help (yeah Mon!) . So I must continue my anti-bam inquisition. So y'all beware. and Ban The Bam! or as others put it Ban the Damn Bam! BTB! & GBR!!

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 5:05PM CST Sheeesh the Bam! I've got to go meditate on that one.

Posted by: RU SKERD on September 13, 2010 5:06PM CST I know that the Texas/NU game time hasn't been officially decided but I remember reading somewhere that a 2:30 CST start was likely. Can anyone confirm that start time?

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 5:14PM CST IF it is on ABC it will probably be in the afternoon. Some stupid NASCAR thing that night on ABC. If it is ESPN it could still be a nite game. Almost hope it is a day game. I can't drink that long anymore.

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 5:34PM CST NU is only a 4 point favorite for a myriad of reasons.... Washington is on the rise, like it or not. They were 0-12 in 2008, 5-7 last year and will likely be at or above .500 this year. Sark is a good young coach in the industry from an elite program. Washington returns 18 starters from last year, one of them being the top rated QB for the NFL. The Home turf. In the last 3 home game, Husky opponents have had 9 pre-snap penalties....7 false starts and 2 delay of games. It can get very loud there...especially for a young QB.

Posted by: BUCK4NU on September 13, 2010 5:35PM CST PlyNeb Nice one!

Posted by: redcornman on September 13, 2010 5:43PM CST I watched the PPV - anyone know why fans were holding up their shoes? Might have been students, couldn't really tell...

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 5:43PM CST I yam that I yam and thats all I yam.

Posted by: ChadMO on September 13, 2010 5:46PM CST Were they holding up their shoes because they saw of picture of SADAM?

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 5:46PM CST Step, Well, then that's a different interpretation. Hmmmm. Deserves more meditation... I mean... more meditation, that deserves.

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 5:46PM CST Redcorn It's the student's way to give props to the "big leg/foot" of Kunalic.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 5:46PM CST BUCK4NU))) Weren't you the Slayer guy? They are coming on the 24th. With my back surgery... I have a doctors handicap thing going on. I called down to the Starplex here in Dallas and they are setting me up with a gurney down in the front with the wheelchaired folks. Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer in bed! I'm totally pumped! Possibly the highlight of my life. That deserves a.... BAM!!!

Posted by: MileHiHusker on September 13, 2010 5:46PM CST 4 point spread becaues NU is looking a bit undisciplined, 1st road game, RF QB, lots of turnovers so far and WU plays extremely well at home. NU should win by 15.

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on September 13, 2010 5:47PM CST In the words of Bob Marley.... "Alright....we're bammin' I wanna bam it with you We're bammin'.....(bammin') And I hope you like bammin' too "

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 5:47PM CST Buck,...... yeah i agree. burk isnt afraid of contact. you can tell he is still adjusting to a little more size on his frame. he's a gamer for sure. don Trayvee needs to find his niche. whatever happened to marcus mendoza, is he still on scholly?

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 5:50PM CST mendoza always looked like a wingback type to me. i dont know if he had good hands though.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 5:50PM CST The 4 point spread is not shocking. Udub is a hellhole for visiting teams. Not unlike Kyle Field, Death Valley and Lubbock... things can go bad quickly there. It's almost magical.

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 5:50PM CST Step, You make bam seem like some sort of mantra to invoke a spirit or nirvana state.... I had no idea.... I thought it was simply a " Im the first post...neener neener. I'm better than y'all" I guess I totally misinterpreted it. Now that you put it that way, it was like.... Wham!

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 5:51PM CST My pals says that when Slayer takes the stage... I'll likely get trampled to death. That would be awesome!

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 5:51PM CST You guys like to Bam. For the Bammers

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 5:52PM CST Trash, you know your facts? I am impressed! Now I am hooked up with a bookie from Macau, our Las Vegas, are you good at picking them across the board? Washington will play their hearts out after losing to BYU, as this is the signature win they're seeking? For this kind of program, a signature win goes along way to boost morale, and for recruiting in the future, for brighter days to come? So this is a hungry team with some talent and great coaching and good homefield advantage, so Huskers have to overcome those odds as well? For OU the road game in 2 weeks will be a test for Laundry, as some QB's play well at home but not on the road, in difficult places, so Trash you nailed it for difficulties? Ok what are the odds that I can get KW pregnant before end of this year? If not she threatens to move to a tiny village, on mainland China, as there is such a disparity between genders now, because of the biased one child policy, that 20's men, outnumber ladies by over 20 million? Thus allowing some women in small villages to have more than one husband for remedy? Just got married, not in the mood for sharing quite yet? So Trash what are my odds? If not good, got to convince her now, is not the time for munchkins? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 5:52PM CST Silicon, You just made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: BUCK4NU on September 13, 2010 5:53PM CST Stepn Probably thinking of someone else. I'm a big Ozzy Fan. Although that sounds like a pretty cool concert! OSH Mendoza is now listed as a LB.

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 5:53PM CST Now yer makin Bam sound like some sort of religion. Or more likd a cult. hmmm beware. Stay away from the bam koolaid

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 5:56PM CST Husker_Heat))) Now that you know that the BAM!!! is life.... quite metaphysical... surely there is something you need to BAM!!! about. Best let it out. Not BAM!!!ing is like holding in a sneeze.

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 5:56PM CST thanks buck , seems small for a linebacker . he must still be on scholarship right. i dont think he is injured. punt returns must not have worked out.

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 5:56PM CST Trash, Great link. Much appreciated.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 13, 2010 5:58PM CST Good evening fellow Huskers, day one of my radiation treatments, 34 still to go. It has been a long day, but hanging in there. Found a computer at the hotel I am staying at. So I am aable to talk all things Huskers. Did not read all the posts in this thread. My impressions of the Huskers do far, is that we we play well we are pretty impressive. Need to play well for 4 quarters. Ben Cotton needs to not block below the knees, those are 15 yard penaties and are drive killers. Our first team defense looked real good. I think Locker is going to be on his back some Saturday. Go Big Red Go beat Cancer.....

Posted by: BUCK4NU on September 13, 2010 5:58PM CST OSH Sorry he is listed as a CB not LB

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 6:01PM CST Swam!

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on September 13, 2010 6:02PM CST Mendoza seemed to have the speed but I had heard that he hadn't mastered blitz pickup (rumor..not sure) and that was why his downs were limited previously at RB. Not sure if he had hands issues or mastering the playbook issues at receiver or something else. Seemed like a good receiver. HH....perhaps those who are Bammin' have been enjoying a little of DBP's avatar. Kick some bottom I/H. We're all behind you.

Posted by: BUCK4NU on September 13, 2010 6:02PM CST I/H Glad to see you are still the fighter! Keep us posted! God Bless!

Posted by: joe9wicket on September 13, 2010 6:04PM CST redcomman.... I hear the paint on the steps was.... not exactly dry...... As far the BAM! controversy.... picture in your mind the Huskers as Marvel Comic characters... or DC. Remember Ahman Green w/ his BatMan tats? #30 gets to the edge and moves upfield where he meets the safety, lowers his shoulder and BAM! SOCK! BOOM! levels the guy and gets another 15 yards. Sheesh. GBR. PACT. BAM!

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on September 13, 2010 6:06PM CST BTW...Mendoza listed at DB, not LB. Anyone hear any details on Qvale this year? (He's from my hometown.) He had been the talk last fall before injury and again in spring but not much on him in fall camp. I noticed he got late playing time against WKU but it was very late.

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 6:08PM CST I'll definitely Bam for I/H. But only for him.

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 6:08PM CST Wrestle Picking across the board.....sometimes. But "the odds" getcha eventually. The odds of getting your wife pregnant are relatively good based, ironically on repetition. This is something you and FU know quite a bit about? But keep FU's repetition in the gym......

Posted by: ChadMO on September 13, 2010 6:08PM CST HH- I didn't go for Emeril, is this still Bam worthy? Bam Bam from the Flintstones.

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 13, 2010 6:09PM CST stepn today click

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 6:10PM CST OK, dinner time, gotta go. But I'm glad we got to the bottom of Bam. I'm more enlightened now. Nyam yo ho rangi kyo. I'm glad we had this talk.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 13, 2010 6:11PM CST Thanks for the BAM Step. I was surprised that Lee did not get any snaps Saturday. But, he was cheerleader on ths sidelines, that shows lots of class and leadership. It's got to be hard to swallow being #3 on the QB depth chart.

Posted by: Husker_Heat on September 13, 2010 6:12PM CST Chad, Bam Bam kicks Emeril's aaaass.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 6:14PM CST You never know how players will translate to the NFL. We have seen it before. Great college players who never really do much in the NFL. Trev Alberts, Dion and Mike Booker, Aaron Taylor, LP and others. So even though Suh was possibly the greatest college player I have seen at DT.... and even though if anyone was going to succeed at the next level... Suh is sure of a thing as you can find.... like I said... you just never know. Welp... I watched he whole Lions/Bears game also. Let's take a look. He literally made so many plays that I can't put them all out there. On 3rd and GL on the opening drive... the Bears went right at Suh. He pushed on the OL 3 yards back and into the FB... stuffing the play when his mates brought Forte down. Then he got a sack on the next drive. Tipped a screen pass as he did so often for us. Stuffed the 4th and GL play. I could go on and on. Suh made a major impact from day. Lions vs Eagles Sunday!

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 13, 2010 6:14PM CST Well, I am out for the night. i will try and log on tomorrow. Go Huskers, Go Big Red

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 6:16PM CST this just in.. coach watson was seen sporting a ..... flavor savor.....

Posted by: BUCK4NU on September 13, 2010 6:17PM CST Feel better I/H!

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 6:18PM CST ..as he was seen coming out of osbornes office. he also was murmering something about fullbacks..

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 6:20PM CST IH))) No doubt. Lee is a class act. I was surprised he wasn't 2nd team... but the best players play. If the coaches believe TMart and Green are better... then thats that. The General is probably the best 3rd QB in the country. Good to have that in our back pocket.

Posted by: ChadMO on September 13, 2010 6:22PM CST StepN - That PTI link with the Lebatard Bam was awesome. Did you see this one doing a skit of Lebatard? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxInN_El3QE

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 6:23PM CST That must of been Stepn before his "Hogan Injury". Step on the 24th Headin to Anthrax

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 6:25PM CST ...and he yelled back something to the effect of "not as long as im here."

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 6:27PM CST ...then he got in his new Prius and drove away

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 6:30PM CST ...and yes to all those watching him drive off, a Prius really can burn rubber. it was nothing short of amazing. bystanders for a mere instant thought they were in Boulder.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 13, 2010 6:52PM CST ChadMo))) Thats pretty good. They have LeBatard down pat.

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 13, 2010 6:53PM CST old school Actually he was heading to Boulder

Posted by: Old School Husker on September 13, 2010 6:56PM CST he takes what he wants

Posted by: Gofor2 on September 13, 2010 6:58PM CST Step Thanks for the Suh report. I didn't see the game and have been searching the net for tidbits about his play. Good luck on the back deal. I had a major problem in 1996 and got the right guy and haven't had a problem since despite continued "rough housing" on my part.

Posted by: TomOs on September 13, 2010 7:10PM CST I know of 2 tickets to the TX game.. good seats.. South Endzone, west side, 3 rows up.. they are not mine.. you will have to deal with the owner.. e mail, message me here and I can give the number to call.. serious inquires only.. and I mean serious..

Posted by: Gofor2 on September 13, 2010 7:16PM CST Trying to catch up: Help me here, who's in the "ban the , ban the Bamers" camp. Is it all the pro bammers or folks that just don't like bans. Also the "prophet" seems to be more of a flip flopper. His predictions weren't correct, and he seems to be hedging on what he predicted.

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 13, 2010 7:29PM CST Trash "Dancing with the Cans"

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 7:38PM CST Trash thanks! Reps, yes we know reps and FU, yes, I always think of his beautiful petite wife, and oh forget it? IH, BAM! from me also! You know we are all in your corner, and you are in our thoughts and prayers also! DBP, the General was my thought always the starter this season based on the bowl results? I thought Green, had a good chance during this season to replace, so I was way off on my thinking? DBP, I was surprised at the Cal score against CU? Simply from my friends at OTC in Springs, I too, had heard that D, would be one of CU's strengths this season? This has to be Hawk's swan song season I suspect? Gofor2, hope all is well in God's country? Have you ever been to Browning Mt.? I had some cousins that lived there for awhile? Blackfeet country I believe? Sure was beautiful around there when I visited? Yes, I concur probably no team in the land is as deep as NU, when you think the General is #3 in the rotation? Suh was special and should have won the Heisman? To compare Suh to ones at OU I suppose, you would have to go back to the Selmons, and Suh would still stand out? I always enjoyed the things that Barry would say at OU, after having the Selmons, he said wish mama Selmon would start having more babies again, his luck they would all be girls? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: PT Husker on September 13, 2010 7:47PM CST Ah the days of repetitions. A faint memory for sure.

Posted by: "huskersRback" on September 13, 2010 7:52PM CST "shazaam"

Posted by: TomOs on September 13, 2010 7:53PM CST Gofor2 .. check your messages...

Posted by: Trashman on September 13, 2010 8:02PM CST Gofor I don't recall "flip flopping". "The Odds" were posted regularly based on the information given. It incorrectly had Green as the slight favorite over TMart.....of which it was probably a pretty close race until the last week and a half. Just like any odds in Vegas, they fluctuate...and not one person "bet the dog" in TMart. Remember, he was 15/1 for a LONG time. Only until some "leaks" came out were some pretty confident.....ahem. I've said it before and I'll say it again....Lee was the early "fave" based on last year. He would never of been my personal choice to start. I supported Green last year because well, quite frankly it was all we had. I couldn't handle anymore of the current situation. If Spano, TMart or anyone else was the #2 last year, I would of said put him in. Hopefully TMart continues his good play.

Posted by: Gofor2 on September 13, 2010 8:23PM CST Trash Just needling you. I wasn't pay much attention, whatever the coaches decide is always fine with me. I didn't have a favorite, but just figured out who was going to start based on how it was handled. I didn't get any inside info, just went on a hunch. TMART must have been showing something special to be in the mix. As far as TMart continuing his good play. Well he's just playing on pure talent right now and that won't change, but he will learn, with experience, so he's only going to get better. Your watching a special player evolve, you can take that to the bank.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 8:38PM CST Gofor2, thanks to the Wall Street debacle some of the banks are now defunct? I know what you mean, but some idioms that seemed so appropriate for certain times, become less, based on the changing times and events in history? So maybe take that to exchange for gold bullions might be wiser? PT, you sly fox, a faint memory, I don't buy that in a second? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: big red 1 on September 13, 2010 8:38PM CST I like Tmarts blazing speed and being able to make something out of nothing.So he fumbled one and threw a pic, it is just a learning curve, same for Green. I'm a thinking Mr. Locker will be running for his life on Saturday.

Posted by: Gofor2 on September 13, 2010 8:45PM CST Hey Wrestler TMART is reminding me of some of OU's best, the Lott's and Watt's etc., with his ball handling and explosion if he decides at the last minute to keep. He's got that special ability to hide what's he's going to do and doesn't make a decision until the last possible second. That drives D's crazy.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 9:01PM CST Gofor2 and big red 1, you're exactly right! Speed is a virtue or innate gift that either you have or don't? TMart is the future for Huskers like Crouch too! And the passing game could be developed also! And yes experience is all he is lacking to morph into sth. special? Sometimes a guy like that with great potential doesn't always get his chances to demonstrate based on circumstances for a team? So with NU groping a little for a QB to truly emerge he's getting that opportunity? Had the General or Green stepped up bigger, maybe not? Fate for a brighter future in Huskerland? Now it reminds me of my HS FB team and we had a tall lanky QB that was a little slow of foot and one assistant coach, funny guy would always tell him, "trouble with you is that you run too long in one spot" that cracked me up? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: big red 1 on September 13, 2010 9:11PM CST Wrestler: I think TMart is going to run amok in the secondary. Washington got exposed the last 2 games and Bo and Watson know this. No fumbles,hard hitting and this could be a high scoring game for Nebraska.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 9:26PM CST big red1, yes I see this as a statement game for the Huskers, really this is the one before the season of nonconference, that they knew would be the stage, to make that statement? Athletes rise to the occasion, and this is the game, others before were too predictable? I expect to see better execution and intensity, throughout this game for Big Red! I have it 38 to 17 late in the game and maybe Huskies score a late mop up TD to bring it to 24 when it doesn't matter? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: Mountainman@ on September 13, 2010 9:37PM CST Wrestler: Your predicted score looks pretty good. One problem the Huskers have had in the past is mobile QB's. In 1997, Peter and Wistrom were teeing off on Washington's QB Huard. It looked like it was going to be a blowout until Wistrom twisted Huard's ankle once too often. Washington sent in their freshman QB Marques Tuiasosopo and he was too quick for the Husker DL and got the Huskies back into the game. That also got the crowd back into the game and made the Huskers work a lot harder to get the win. Locker is the best QB the Huskers will face this year and he has a very good RB and an excellent WR. Carl and his boys will get a much greater challenge with Washington's balanced offense and a mobile QB. The Husky D has some good talent but is fairly young. The Huskers need to get some early scores to take away the home crowd advantage. Trashman: Our Washington Cornhusker group chartered a boat to go to the 1997 game.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 13, 2010 10:05PM CST Mountainman always respect your thoughts? And yes a much different game than the first two for sure? And on their homefield, you're right so lots to overcome by the Huskers? But I think this is the Huskers game to show the nation that in a difficult environment they can dominate? Washington and their QB and Sark the coach I have a lot of respect for and NU will need their A game for sure? And I think their focus has been this game as they knew the strength of the previous two opponents and I think this is the game that has them knowing and their athletes that if they don't perform well it could be a long day of disappointment? I think NU will be ready however and their QB Locker will get pressure and I think that NU will be tested even Prince, but hopefully they rise to perform well? Huskies are a good team not a great team as BYU beat them and you know what happened to BYU with my Zoomies? By the way AFA plays OU this weekend, I like both teams and I expect a very tough fought game for this one? So again some very valid pts. of concern you make let's hope Huskers have the answers? I think they will? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!
