Posted by: bigred-Ore on September 25, 2011 12:27PM CST Well we wanted the Huskers back on the big stage. Here we go.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 12:37PM CST Perfect undefeated ranked teams game day will be there under the lights its gonna be a rumble

Posted by: Albino on September 25, 2011 12:42PM CST Win Saturday, and we'll be at least 7th. GBR

Posted by: Wonder Monds on September 25, 2011 12:55PM CST Okalahoma State? Is that imitation brand produced by Walmart? Everytime I see a typo in a Journal Star article I don't even have to scroll up to see who the author is.

Posted by: Jackson1 on September 25, 2011 12:58PM CST NU OVERATED by about 20 Spots! They finally play SOMEONE this coming weekend. Let's see how this game shakes out :)

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 12:59PM CST BC wheres the usual link to the polls? your slipping

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 1:01PM CST It was the stinking altitude that affected Dennard. We were so out of shape because of the lack of strength & conditioning program. Just got plain lucky to get a win last night. I think we better stay home next week & suck our thumbs cause the mighty badgers are going to kick our a$$ sooooo bad.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 1:07PM CST whats up charger I didn't see the whole game but TM continues to mature IMO the whole team looks like its coming together and just at the right time

Posted by: RED KOOL-AID DRINKER on September 25, 2011 1:10PM CST Charger I am hoping you meant that as a joke,Jackson you have predicted 3 times we were going to lose and we haven't. so go away troll.. We went out there to win,we won,we even covered the point spread. We are now 4-0 and starting big 10 play .Just be happy people with the win.goooooooo bigggggggggggggg reddddddddddddd

Posted by: Coopster on September 25, 2011 1:11PM CST Wonder Monds. I'm right there with you - spelling errors and "what say you" (also used by Sip) are getting real tired especially when done by journalists. GBR

Posted by: Huskerva1 on September 25, 2011 1:11PM CST jackson1.........who has WI played this year? ohhhhh mostly div.III schools? and their ranked #7 come on man think about what you say before you talk stupid about another teams ranking,

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 1:17PM CST jackson1 's real name is Dan and he currently lives in Austin he just put his house on the market though How's the real estate market down there Jackson1?

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 1:19PM CST Vince.........I must have got a bad batch of Kool-Aid last night my head hurts. HA. Hell yes I was joking those badgers better be ready for us.

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 1:25PM CST boomboom....You are right. We got a whole bunch of young guys out there playing their tails off. Like Carl said are they going to be ready for us?

Posted by: Huskerva1 on September 25, 2011 1:27PM CST HAHAHAHA serious? VA tech at no.9? they havent play anyone either. I've seen them this year live and once they play real teams it'll xpose them to be pretenders

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 1:30PM CST Yea, I trust a computer that has FL @ #5.

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 1:30PM CST Bo said that in 12 weeks we'll find out who's really good.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 1:32PM CST Bama-LSU-Florida Oklahoma- Okalahoma St (for Wonder Monds) Stanford-Oregon Wisconsin-DONU V tech-Clemson? Boise St-Wyoming-TCU? still alot of football left to be played

Posted by: Huskerva1 on September 25, 2011 1:39PM CST Huskers are very young and inexperienced but are growing every game. I've seen wilson play...hes good but not great but can light u up if given' a few more seconds to lookd down field. but i've also seen him get rattled when he was put down to the ground a few times and then he starts to hear footsteps even when their not there. so blackshirts have to hit him hard a few times at start or it'll be a long day for them.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 1:41PM CST s it safe? Are there any positive Husker fans around? Anyone want to talk about what the Huskers did do right last night? I have been very critical of Taylor Martinez in the past, but I think he is playing a lot smarter game. Yeah his throwing motion is not perfect yet he is able to throw down field. The last two years the only pa$$ (sick of the profanity G O D S) we could completed was the bubble screen and now and then a dink off to the TE. The Husker have the most complete offense in 10 years. Their has got to be some kool-aid drinkers out there, heck the fullback is becoming an important part of the offense. Rejoice there has to be a Makovicka out there somewhere waiting to walk on and be the next great Husker fullback. Plus we have Freshmen and walk on starting in the line. A line that for the first time in 10 years in knocking people of the ball. Rejoice. Be happy.

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 1:43PM CST Looking at this mornings paper it's no wounder we didn't get to WY's qb they way they were grabbing jerseys!! i would like to see the holding call we got flagged for. Sheesh!!!!

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 1:44PM CST alwaysred, they play Bama next week, LSU the week after. Probably lose both those games which will most likely drop them out of the USA/AP polls(the polls that matter).

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 1:44PM CST So I will start the debate again. Will we see Blackshirts handed out this week? Judging by most on the blog last night I would think not. Who knows, it might be next year before the blackshirts are earned. Not how the tradition was started or meant over the last, 20-30 years.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 1:46PM CST I'm with you Nish like the thought of rattlin Wilson huskerva1 Bo & Carl know what to do and how to do it

Posted by: Low Country Husker on September 25, 2011 1:48PM CST There are 18 undefeated teams in the top 25, in the next 2 weeks over half of them play another top 25 team... lot's of football left all the Huskers need to do is focus on the game ahead of them and the rest will take care of itself

Posted by: Brian Christopherson on September 25, 2011 1:50PM CST Sorry we're driving back from Laramie so I posted the blog from my phone, and couldn't link to the polls. As for Dennard, he returned to the game later. He didn't seem to be limping coming off the field.

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 1:50PM CST Nish.......I'm so proud of this team right now I could jump out of my skin. In the past (last year) they really got rattled, which they could have done very easily this year & have not. These guys have been around Bo going on 4 years & too me they are really buying into what they are trying to teach them. In the first 4 games we have seen them use different personel without batting an eye, why because the staff trusts these young men. It ain't pretty but you don't get a W for being pretty it's all about putting points on the board.

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 1:55PM CST You know if by some chance Wilson gets his bell rung the badgers could really be in deep dodo. How can u leave your starter in a game/games when your just beating the crap out of the other team?

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 1:56PM CST ok your forgiven BC the screen is small and the functions are limited is there an app for my i4 that would let me post/read posts? Ive heard others ask

Posted by: Busiekcreek on September 25, 2011 1:59PM CST None of this ranking business means jack squat until all the regular season games are played. Some teams have a very strong schedule at the beginning of the year. Others play cupcakes and still get ranked highly. Come the end of November and it will be clear "who flung the chunk". Go Big "Nebraska" Red Geaux LSU Tigers

Posted by: BleedingRed on September 25, 2011 2:11PM CST Brian, First, were you treated well in Laramie? They seemed to be pretty frustrated as the game wore on. Second, if no no says that Dennard was hurt then just agree with him. Otherwise he will think you are in on the cover up. charger, We have been playing defense thus far with one hand tied behind our back. I am guessing it is because Bo and Carl saw the talent and wanted to shorten the learning curve on some of the deficiencies. Bo's tricky like that, he probably had the entire year planned out 4 months ago. I thought that Coach Beck would be pretty good but I did not expect what I have seen from him. I really like what he does, when he does it, and how he does it. Wyoming fully expected an upset last night. They not only did not get their upset but got a huge wake up call as to what we could have done had we wanted to. They don't want any part of us now. They got a glimpse of who we are and the world is a lot different for them today than it was yesterday.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 2:18PM CST Bleeding Red I don't know if you can say we 'demoralized' Wyoming I'm sure they will bounce back But I will say that at no point in the game I was ever worried about the outcome

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 2:18PM CST BleedingRed.....How the heck are ya? And yes you are correct in your judgement of Beck. The bigest thing that really sticks out is the rotation of players on both sides of the ball. This is going to be huge. esp in the 3rd & 4th quarters.

Posted by: Viking Husker on September 25, 2011 2:21PM CST We will absolutely decimate Wisconsin. We've treated these first 4 games like practices (with a slight exception at Washington) and still put up a ton of points. When our defense is allowed to play appropriate scheme with it's starters they are lights out. They've looked bad when it's been backups and when we were "practicing" a certain scheme. On offense we've been vanilla and still scored over 40 in each game (yes I know 38 last night, but we took a knee at the 5 late). Even against Washington we didn't show everything we can do. If you're worried about Wisconsin, you haven't been paying attention.

Posted by: BleedingRed on September 25, 2011 2:24PM CST boom, That's probably just my perspective from what I saw during one specific drive.

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 2:28PM CST alwaysred, well, if FL keeps winning they will be #1 in all polls.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on September 25, 2011 2:30PM CST Rather a Gator than some pipsqeak wanna be lol

Posted by: Huskerva1 on September 25, 2011 2:34PM CST I dont see gators going undefeated

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 2:35PM CST I really havent watched the Gators, so I don't know either way I guess. They could be a top 5 team for all I know.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 25, 2011 2:36PM CST The polls will be fluid week to week and comparative views etc.? LSU's D esp. good as Bama's but LSU has found life in a QB now? But the ebb and flow of a season? And some games just in the winning is enough and in others, how you win and on and on? My guess the ones deserving, will be there at the end? A good victory in Laramie? And now the first test of mettle, next week in Madison? I say first, as regardless of this outcome and it's big, the rematch that I foresee, will be even bigger and for higher stakes? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: BleedingRed on September 25, 2011 2:37PM CST charger, I've been good. It's also going to be huge as we get later into the season. Like I said, Bo probably had the whole season planned out 4 months ago. Viking, We are just little ol nebraska. I hope that big old bad bully doesn't hurt our little players too much next week. I wish that we could just cancel the game but I guess we have to show up and take our whipping.

Posted by: Huskerva1 on September 25, 2011 2:38PM CST I jus dont see then going through BAMA or LSU at this time.......their D doesnt seem as sharp as in last few years

Posted by: Busiekcreek on September 25, 2011 2:38PM CST I didn't take my meds this morning so just forgive my "lingo" and hopefully I don't sound harpy. Again on the subject of "ratings". I saw last night a group of college fb fans who just might surpa ss the rude/crude Colorado bunch. W.Va. University offered money to fans to turn in their lewd obscene t shirts before the game. When an LSU player was down on the field, the entire stadium began booing. Can't break their "fast tempo". The W.Va coach was shown on tv booing at the same time, that is when he was not throwing one F bomb after another. Nebraska fans beware if you ever have to play in Morgantown W.Va.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 2:41PM CST if you are going to the game on saturday be prepared from the Wisconsin State Journal: UW Police say 20 people were arrested, 24 were cited and 29 fans were ejected from Saturday's Badgers football game at Camp Randall Stadium for offenses including underage drinking, possession of alcohol and resisting or obstructing police. Of those, 11 arrested were UW students, 13 students received citations and 15 students were ejected from Saturday's game against the South Dakota Coyotes, according to UW Police Chief Susan Riseling. Wisconsin won the non-conference matchup, 59-10.

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 2:41PM CST Nish, regarding the blackshirts, I have said that they will come out just before the Wisconsin game. At some point you need to affirm your players and let them now you Bolieve in them. I don't think the tradition of giving out the blackshirt was based upon stats...i.e. so many sacks, yards allowed, points allowed. It was based upon a defensive unit that you were proud to put on the field. If Bo is not a Boliever in his guys by now, he won't be for a long while.

Posted by: Viking Husker on September 25, 2011 2:48PM CST Yeah Bleeding, we should be scared. Scared we beat them up so bad it warrants an ejection.

Posted by: Fitzy on September 25, 2011 2:49PM CST I agree with what Bleeding Red is saying.... Bo is very crafty and has been sandbagging both on offense and defense so as not to show all his cards... I believe that once Bo opens it up, people are going to be pretty shocked at what the team can do. You look at how explosive Jamal Turner is when he gets the ball on his limited targets, you think about how Kyler Reed is not being targeted at all(hes one of the best receiving tight ends in the country folks)... you think about Rex Burkhead running the wildcat stuff... we have seen all 3 freshman running backs make fantastic plays... we have seen the fullback go for 35-40 yards... Bo and Beck are sandbagging so much stuff it is not even funny... They have tried out all kinds of plays in very limited quantities just to put all this different stuff on film... this is a defensive coordinators nightmare right now. Big Red has run power plays, option, zone read, spread, west coast, play action, wildcat, etc, etc, etc.... and had success with all of it. This offense can do so many things with so many weapons, that it will be very hard to stop them all. Watson always talked wanting to be "multiple" ... well this is what he was talking about. Bo must have been using that word and Watson never quite got it. Beck is showing you the very defintion. The defense will be better than they have shown and they will not need to be perfect with the offense we will have this year. This team can and will put points up on anyone... I would expect one heck of a game next Saturday and I am not seeing the doom and gloom some are seeing. Just wait and see folks.

Posted by: RED KOOL-AID DRINKER on September 25, 2011 2:49PM CST I was proud of the team last night.They had to battle the altitude,which I think they did. We were playing against a team that felt like it had nothing to lose and we came out on top, Burkhead is a monster what else is there to sa about his performance. I thought in the first series we looked a little dazed,but then over came that, The offensive line looked great again. Wyoming was keying on Martinez,so burk head took over.T had a good day overall pas sing, I want to commend the huskers in over comming all these elements,altitude,a team fired up with nothing to lose,their first road game. Now its on to the Big10 play and to a succesful season

Posted by: Viking Husker on September 25, 2011 2:55PM CST I get the feeling our offense has yet to really be unveiled. I also get the feeling that our defense has yet to be unleashed. When Bo lets loose the dogs....hold on to your hats.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 2:58PM CST it's my take that we are doing everything we can and just keep improving each week in the end same result who let the dogs out !!!!!!

Posted by: BleedingRed on September 25, 2011 3:05PM CST rev., Do you think that your post is, in any way, a fair a$$e$$ment?

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 3:08PM CST Wow, Where were you guys yesterday during the game? Sheesh. There were folks that wanted to fire Bo and hire Scott Frost. I can be negative at times, but the mood was so cloudy on here yesterday I was reaching for the pipe. The Husker have improved each game, that's all you can ask. Wow the Three Amigos (Freshman RBs), aren't they exciting and we have 3 to 4 more years of that. T-Mart is starting to play smart, pa$$ing (Profanity Cops) to more than just one TE. Sliding and stepping out of bounds. Yes the gla$$ (Profanity Cops!!!!) is quite full today.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on September 25, 2011 3:08PM CST Reminds me of the game before Okie State last year. Are the Huskers any good, can they beat their opponent, TMart can't throw...we're doomed. Then the game was played.......TMart Threw, the D played well against a good offense and the fans were content......For a day!

Posted by: JamesoN on September 25, 2011 3:14PM CST LOL Finally a good mood on here...half the time I sit here and get all pi$$ed off because of the mood. I am very excited for next week. I went to the Wash game and after watching the D I knew Bo has been holding back, it was very vanilla.

Posted by: TheNUorder on September 25, 2011 3:17PM CST Nish, I logged on here yesterday during the game and had to get off. I was afraid that some of that negativity would infiltrate the fiber in the network and work it's way past my firewall. I didn't want any part of that in my house. Amazing how we can all watch the same team and coaches play the same game and some see the end of the world and some see the Huskers coming of age little by little.

Posted by: BigXII on September 25, 2011 3:17PM CST Cold hard reality hits un next week. Enjoy the top 10, because Saturday the beat down delivered by Wiscy will cause a major fall in the polls for un.

Posted by: Viking Husker on September 25, 2011 3:22PM CST Low, My thoughts exactly. We always show up for big games and we play better on the road than at home. Honestly I was happy with the team last night. Lots of guys got playing time, and the outcome was still never in doubt. Keep in mind we were playing an undefeated FBS team at home, at altitude. Plus lots of those kids grew up as Husker fans, wanting to be Huskers and weren't recruited by us (think South Dakota State last year) so they were highly motivated. And still the outcome was never in doubt. If you weren't happy with the performance last night I feel bad for you. Enjoy a win for crying out loud.

Posted by: BigXII on September 25, 2011 3:26PM CST Which defensive starter won't even make the trip to Madison on Saturday? Your hot-headed coach is doing everything he can to make the defense better, but you can't fix that broken wheel.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on September 25, 2011 3:26PM CST I look forward to watching this team once they (the coaches) decide to show the nation what they've been cooking up. Next weeks game will be very fun to watch....and if the Badgers make it a competitive game all the better.....what a great time to be a Husker fan!

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 3:27PM CST Not sure I believe all the "sandbagging" theories. Maybe the D has been "vanilla", which just means we need to improve upon "vanilla". The youth needs more experience is about all I can say and seems they are improving each week. Next week will be a close game, no beatdowns either way. I give Wiscy the dges right now based on the maturity of their team, but the Skers have more speed and talent, no doubt in my mind. We have to disrupt Russell to win this game.

Posted by: Viking Husker on September 25, 2011 3:27PM CST Freaking Vikings. Michelangelo's of choke artistry. I'm out. Go Big Red

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 3:40PM CST Bleeding...not sure what you mean by a fair a$$e$$ment, but it is probably wrong to imply in any way that Bo is not a Boliever in his defensive unit. If that is what I communicated, my bad. Pretty sure he stands behind them and believes in them although he typically admits there are things to get fixed. However, the tradition of the blackshirts seems to be that they were given out as a statement of that belief in your players who bust their butts and give their all. TO would know the psychology of this...bestowing the honor, especially when due, motivates. To with hold the honor for too long, demotivates. If Bo is waiting for the perfect defensive game to be played in order to award the honor, he might be waiting a while.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 3:41PM CST Th NUorder, You never know, I hope your fire-wall is updated. It was tough bunch last night. There is some concern regarding the D-line, they was suppose to be anchor of the Defense. In the past, Bo has almost always had the D prepared for the big games. OU in 09 and TX in the Big 12 Championship game. I will believe that Huskers play the Best Defense next week against the Badgers.

Posted by: RED KOOL-AID DRINKER on September 25, 2011 3:50PM CST I couldn;t believe all the late and cheap hits that wyoming players were commiting,and most of them were shots while our defensive guys had their backs to them. I had respect for this team till last night. They are nothing but cheap shot artists

Posted by: BleedingRed on September 25, 2011 3:57PM CST rev, That is what I meant. I had a lot more to say but did not because I know you are a fan. That was the nicest way I could say it. :) No hard feelings I hope. I thought you meant something along those line. Last nights game went almost exactly as I thought it would. I knew I should have put my prediction in. I thought that it would be 21-14/17-10 at half and then we would end up pretty much where we did if the team came to play, and they did.

Posted by: Bbudus on September 25, 2011 4:00PM CST Viking...you hit my thoughts right on the head...excellent post(2:21pm). The NU we have seen is not going to look the same this Saturday night!! VincentFo...I couldn't agree more. Not only were the Wyoming players playing with incredibly poor sportsmanship, but the refs were absolutely horrible in that game as well. That was a good scrimmage....er win!!! Nish...I agree, HSB2 was killing me slowly last night with the "boo-hoo". WHERE WERE YOU PEOPLE LAST NIGHT!!!! GBR!!!!

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 4:01PM CST Vincent, The Head football coach for the Pokes is Dave Christensen, he was coordinator at Missery. Are you surprised that a coach coming out of the Missery program would put players on the field that are cheap shot artist? The crap you saw last night from the Pokes was on both sides of the ball. That's coaching. I lost a lot of respect for the Wyoming program last night.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:03PM CST Unlv 51 17 Oregon St 35 0 Northern Ill 49 7 South dakota St 59 10 Could one of you give me the over all record of those 4 teams to date vs our 4 opponents??

Posted by: BleedingRed on September 25, 2011 4:03PM CST VincentFo, Did you tape the game? Go back and look at Becks response to Wyomings play. I think that they got the message. Well, they may or may not have gotten it but it was delivered. They may still be wondering what happened. :)

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:06PM CST And how come their cupcakes are more impressive than our cupcakes

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 4:09PM CST Bbudus, HSB2 has been posting on here for a few. I don't know what was up last night, bad batch of shine....lol I actually was ignoring his post. Especially after he posted we would end up 8-4. I myself can be negative when I see sloppy play, but last night was a progression. The was the best example of a balanced attack we have seen in years. Watson could only dream of an offense that could move the ball on the ground and in the air. Last night there were moments in the game the Husker offense took what they wanted. If the defense played like it has and Cossgrove was the coach I would be concerned. 5 years ago there was little talent on the D. There is talent, some is really young.

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 4:10PM CST Bleeding, no worries. Nuff said. GBR!

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 4:13PM CST Afternoon Pt, Did you make it to Laramie to the game? I saw you on after the blog, game, I think? PS you know that the Profanity Cops have determined we can't wish well feeling on our fellow Bloggers. Can use the "G" word it is offensive. Example: PT Godble$$ you and your family. Instead you have to say...Pt I hope you and your higher power are doing well.. Sheesh.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 4:16PM CST Rev, I made Cinnabon pancakes and cracked pepper bacon, for the family, inspired by your cla$$y comments last week. Top of by a big tall gla$$ of milk.... Kool-aid for breakfast is gross.

Posted by: Bbudus on September 25, 2011 4:17PM CST Ok PT... UNLV 1-3 Org. St 0-3 N. Ill 2-2 SDST (FCS) 1-3 Total Non-Conference 4-11.

Posted by: Goldenrod Husker on September 25, 2011 4:18PM CST Facts about wisconsin nebraska 1) We have much more talent and better recruiting by far 2) They have shown it more on the field than us. 3) There Defense has been more consistent 4) We have 2 first round draft picks that have yet to play together. THIS MATTERS. They are simply just not replacable and are difference makers. 5) We are on the road in a hostile environment. 6) Wisconsin has not seen our speed and we have not seen this kind of a power running attack 7) Neither team can say theyve played a tougher schedule to date but Badgers have home field advantage. 8) Offensive line and defensive line play may now equal each other out. Wisconsin has showed weakness on their D lines and we have shown inconsistency on O line. Both are improving. 9) Whichever team wins their qb will make a big jump in the heisman voting. Martinez would join the mix and wilson would be thrust to the top. 10) CANT WAIT

Posted by: Bbudus on September 25, 2011 4:20PM CST Huskers Tenn.Martin (FCS) 2-1 Fresno St 2-2 Washington 3-1 Wyoming 3-1 Total Non-Conference 10-5 That is a big, big difference. GBR

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:22PM CST Wyoming 3 1 Fresno State 2 2 Washington 2 2 (I think) No idea about Chatty.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:24PM CST Bvudus. MY point is made thanks to your stats

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on September 25, 2011 4:24PM CST I went to a sports bar for the game...ran into some young Washington fans, all in their Wash shirts. At some point, they got new beers, one of them raised it and said "To 3-1...." and looked at me with an NU shirt on and said, "Thanks for the 1". Anyone watch San Fran and Cinci? Dalton was sacked and his helmet came off. Given Suh's experience, that must mean the DE is a dirty player. it couldn't be that he doesn't put his straps on well.

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 4:25PM CST WY 3-1 Fresno 2-2 WA 3-1 Chatty 2-2

Posted by: Bbudus on September 25, 2011 4:26PM CST Chatty that's who it was they are 2-2 PT. So our opponents have a 9-6 record. Wisky's opponents have a 4-11. GBR

Posted by: Goldenrod Husker on September 25, 2011 4:27PM CST so weve played a bit tougher schedule. Thats definately a good thing.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:28PM CST I do think we must play our most complete game to date. And I do think bo has been experimenting some with personel. And that is not a bad thing IMO. He needs to know who his gamers are and the best place to see that is game film. I am still curious as to why Mitchell stayed home however.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 4:29PM CST BOurNe Im with you on the sandbagging as it makes no sense to me if Dennard can lock down Toon, and David Compton and Fisher can slow down Montee Ball ( his only 100 yrd game against Oregon St) and we can put some heat on Wilson Our second year starting Qb might look better than thier 5th year senior rookie

Posted by: Bbudus on September 25, 2011 4:29PM CST Welcome PT...and I agree with you totally. UW has not played anybody even close to our skill level yet. Can't wait....this is going to be a loooong week;)

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:31PM CST Nish, I did not go to larimie. However I was not able to watch until the 2nd half. caught some of it on the radio. did not have much to say on the blog because the attitude was ticking me off.

Posted by: Bbudus on September 25, 2011 4:33PM CST Is Wisconsin UW or WU... Are they really going to be the third UW in a row?...I like our odds! GBR

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 4:36PM CST PT, I don't know if it was a full moon last night, bad moon shine or a bad batch of kool-aid, but the boo birds were out in force. You would think being 4-0 the fire coach comments would be absent. Someone suggested Bo dose not love the Husker and Scot Frost does....sheesh, Now that's just a bad batch of crack, right there. I have been critical of Bo in the past, but I have seen nothing this year to get upset about. Well, we could dust of the Blackshirts, but heck that's minor.

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 4:38PM CST Boom, agree.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 4:39PM CST seemed like a lot of new posters on the game thread possibly even some trolls I came on a few times and posted the mathematical equation of how much better we were than them the mood at the bar after the game was very up beat

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 4:39PM CST some names on here last nite you don't normally see that often.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 4:43PM CST So, Three frosh RB, They all stay healthy (knocking on wood), they should be really, really good. Can't decide which on is my favorite. Will have a few years to decide, heck I might even change me mind a few times. So.....we should come up with a nick name for the 3some? Three Amigos? Three Horseman? Thoughts?

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:44PM CST Like most I was particularly HSB2. I guess we are supposed to just supposed to. destroy these "lesser opponents. Personally, I think it is nice to be back in the position of being their Bowl game. We had lost that but it is back. The future is bright indeed.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 4:45PM CST tres hombres

Posted by: BO-urNe sUpremacy on September 25, 2011 4:46PM CST hsb2 was whining his head off, don't know what's got into that guy.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:46PM CST Make that suprised at HSB2.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:48PM CST The 3 bammers.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 4:49PM CST I think some people expected the waters to part and the huskers to be eternal national champs with the new coaches and they can't believe other teams don't just lay down for us

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 4:50PM CST Bo's 3 a$$a$$ins ? (censored by the profanity cops) sheesh!!!!!! To violent? Beck's 3 pack?

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 4:53PM CST Oh Geez..... The Triplets? Too soon?

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 4:57PM CST How about the quintuplets? We got to include Turner and Bell.

Posted by: TheNUorder on September 25, 2011 4:59PM CST 3 Horseman of the Apocalypse. Timothy unleashes “BECKZILLA” on the Badgers. BECKZILLA will be a multi headed, multifaceted offensive monster with so many looks, so much power and speed sprinkled with misdirection and bombs over the middle that the Badgers won’t know what hit them. Truly an event of apocalyptic proportion. Merely looking into the fiery eyes of BECKZILLA will bring the Badger defense to their knees!

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 5:03PM CST PT, You got a point regarding Turner and Bell. Sheesh so much young talent. Beckzilla, wow, that's good. With the 300 plus lineman for Korea "Seung Hoon Choi" as the......never mind. That's a great story as well. Walk on that they couldn't find a helmet to fit the kid in high school

Posted by: Wrestler on September 25, 2011 5:06PM CST PT is on to sth.? About tracking opponents? And then there is the intangibles, that no one talks about? Florida State lost a close one to Clemson, that beat Auburn easily? Why? Florida State didn't have their starting QB, because of injury in OU game? Went with the freshman? Could have been the difference? In playing a very physical game the week before? OU was missing Kenny Stills making big catches in Florida State game for Mizzou game, from injury? Both teams played a very physical game from the players accounts with Florida State game and following week missing key components of stars, for their next opponents when needing them? So it's not just win and loss records, it's the intensity of an opponent and what they bring to the game and the aftermath for playing the next weekend? The intangibles, that one has to look at a little deeper, for the knowing? I use this example, in saying not only am I in agreement with the win/loss difference, being better with NU's opponents but also the intangibles of toughness and test of mettle, for preparation of playing each other? I think NU has the advantage? Wisconsin has the homefield advantage, should be a good one? But when I evaluate the things, I am talking about above, with PT's astute win/loss margin of difference for opponents and then look deeper, for the intangibles of toughness issues and test of mettle, I think NU is better prepared for the battle, and the win is defnitely doable in Madison? NU 27 Wisconsin 24 in a thriller game? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: Jumbo Stiehm on September 25, 2011 5:08PM CST I think we are going to reveal ALOT of new stuff for Wiskey,I believe we have alot more Zone read and WildCat plays on offense and on the defensive side we have alot of 3-4 and blitz packages we havent shown,now none of this will matter if we dont execute at a higher level,but no one in this conference will just blow us off the field talent wise,there are Zero Oklahomas,Alabamas,or LSU's in this conference,but if we play poorly Wisconsin can embarr-a-s-s us,and if they play poorly we will hammer them,this will come down to execution,no more missed tackles and no more throwing the ball past a wide open guy trying to get it to someone who's covered,IMO this game will come down to Taylor,if he plays like @Okie State last year we win,if he plays like he did in the bowl game,it will be ugly,very ugly,he needs to show he is a winner,sophmore or not,this game will tell us if we have another legend on our hands or not.Also they need to fix the profanity filter,this is crap,thanks to the idiot that cried his little eyes out and complained about all the "offensive" profanity,the little baby even turned me in for typing Tuck *exas,poor little baby.

Posted by: TheNUorder on September 25, 2011 5:10PM CST Wrestler, You were right about Okie Lite. So I accept your NU prediction for this weekend as fact :)

Posted by: RedGore on September 25, 2011 5:15PM CST Boo hoo, we're 4 and 0. I mean, Yay!! We won!! I skipped yesterdays threads...had a feeling there would be a lot of negativity. I agree with those of you who have suggested that we have been practicing and trying out different players and plays in order to improve and to obfuscate our upcoming game plans. Someone recently pointed out an article on Bo a few days ago which quoted a former Head coach who had faced Bo's Defenses and later hired him as his D coach. He was quoted as saying that he was amazed at how well he had prepared his players and how he never showed the same D...that he couldn't prepare for Bo's Ds based on what he had shown in previous games. I fully believe that Bo has more up his sleeves than I've yet seen or will see even in next weeks game. Bo, as much as a D master-mind he is, is now the Head Coach who is demanding the same type of performance from his O and O coaches. And I believe that he now has the staff and roster to make it happen. I agree. Wisconsin will not know what hit them. I don't think any other team we face will have him figured out either. That said, I think next weeks game will be hard fought, among other games to come. By no means will we have any easy wins in The B1G. Not this year. But soon, very soon, we will be contenders and title holders again GBR!! Hey Kool-Aid!!

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 5:15PM CST Was the announces last night from the MWC? Wow were they one sided or what? I thought Sean King (?) was going to ask the Pokes QB out on a man date... Plus they had nothing really positive to say about Martinez. If I didn't know better I would have thought HSB and Jackson were calling the game.

Posted by: RedGore on September 25, 2011 5:21PM CST Three Night Dogs (With apologies to Three Dog Night). Cry "HAVOC!!" and release the dogs of war!

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 5:22PM CST Nish..... you think the announcers sucked last night wait till herbie & musburger get done with us. And to follow up on your comment about no one respecting TM. Hummmmm eve the B1G talking heads are down on him. For me it's going to be a long week trying to stay away from the negitive nellies.

Posted by: TheNUorder on September 25, 2011 5:22PM CST Nish, Not sure it was a man date. Every time he got a change he mentioned Smith was in High school last year. More like NMBLA

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 5:23PM CST Why not include TM and call them the SEXtuplets. I am a Boliever GBR

Posted by: N_trepid on September 25, 2011 5:23PM CST That three-headed monster we have behind Burkhead looked GREAT last night! Really, really smooth, excellent burst, excellent vision from all three! WOW. Don't know that I've ever seen true freshmen RBs show such poise and purpose. Well, except for Rex, who looked just as poised and powerful from the first time he set foot on the field. Add in the speed of T-Mart, Turner, Reed and Bell....We have some SERIOUS weapons Bo will be sharpening this week! GO BIG RED!

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 5:27PM CST I think the buzz word is chemistry. and the Badgers may have an edge there. It is a veteran team that wilson has fit right into. We are VERY young and still building that. Thus the inconsistancies that are hard to ignore. But I feel better about this game than I did two weeks ago.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 5:29PM CST Wacky, That's fine, but it more about the 3 RBs. What a joy last night to seem Beck, put one in after another. Back in the day we had a three players that were a threat, Rozier, Turner and Fryer. I'm sure in the future their will be those complaining that one isn't being used enough or another..... Now that's a problem you wish you had. Like 3 hot GF on a date and you can't decide which one you want to kiss first.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 5:31PM CST Charger, Herbie has to start giving the Husker some love. Both Herbie and Bo are Buckeye alumnus.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 5:33PM CST Nish, there is something about the SEXtuplets that I like though, LOL

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 5:35PM CST Incosistancy could be a problem, but I personally think these kids are mentaly tough. Will/are the badgers going to let all the hype get to them? they ain't been punched in the mouth like there're going to be next saturday night.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 5:35PM CST Early in Bo's career I thought Herbie said a lot of positive things about Bo but changed after things didn't always go well for DONU

Posted by: Guido on September 25, 2011 5:37PM CST There is a wide variance for both Wisconsin's and Nebraska's in the multitude of rankings: http://ma sseyratings.com/cf/compare.htm As a Wisconsin native and a Nebraska grad, I am going to thoroughly enjoy this game. But, I need a Husker win so I have bragging rights when I return to visit family for the Holidays. I'm still hoping that the "Pack the Black" theme has something to do with the possibility of the Huskers breaking out a new set of black uni's for the game.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 5:41PM CST I do not think it is fair to expect the same love that we have for the Huskers that we have from announcers.

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 5:41PM CST wacky.......Bo had to find some great kindling to build a new fire.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 5:42PM CST Just because they have the gall to point out some inconsistancies does not make them haters.

Posted by: NewfieFan on September 25, 2011 5:44PM CST Guess, we'll all find out next weekend 'who's fakin' it'!!! I am also going to thoroughly enjoy this game....First of the Big 10 and FIRST that I actually get coverage for....Yahhhooooo!

Posted by: Silicon Valley Husker on September 25, 2011 5:45PM CST Glad I missed the game thread and the announcers since i was in a sports bar. Brion looked smooth running the option in a way that TM doesn't. Rex was a machine.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 25, 2011 5:45PM CST PT, Boy you're hot today? Yes, I see these two opponents playing twice in the scheme of things? And if my predicition is failed for the win in Madison, I expect a close one either way? From you're reasoning and progression for developing with greater upticks for NU than Wisconsin of youth and still maturation, for getting stronger? Chemistry building course 101? The rematch on neutral field will look different and the moreso, with favoring NU and outcome, will not be close like first game, NU wins it impressively? But if NU does live up to my prediction and wins 27 to 24 in Madison? Look out! It might be a season, that tickets are extremely expensive and hard to come by, for VincentFro's Big Red Train of success? All on board yet? Mon. morning here in HK, got to scurry and no quota today? Tomorrow, Tomorrow, it's just a day away? Profanity check is haywire! Many excellent words, you can't use for subset of certain letters? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 5:46PM CST To me it's a lack of respect. Then I forget we got to earn it back.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 5:46PM CST charger, Bo has definitely gotten some great recruits in and has built depth at many positions and I expect to see it getting better in the future! I am a Boliever GBR

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 5:47PM CST I think we all agree that our D is not up to par yet. and Martinez is not a great pa sser. What they don't see is that he is a gamer. He has a knack of geting it done in crunch time. either with his his arm or his legs. He comes up with first downs at critical times to keep drives alive. Bottem line, he is a winner. Maybe not pretty but it works.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 5:51PM CST Last time I checked Style point don't count.

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 5:54PM CST An ugly win is better than a pretty loss.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 25, 2011 5:59PM CST PT be quiet please! If KW hears that style pts. don't count? She won't like FB? She's all about style? Her not me? We are total opposites and you know opposites attract? We are the evolution couple? I think you all can guess, who comes first in our order? Later! School, where for me and my attire, Parrot Head look, style doesn't matter either, like FB? NU 27 Wisconsin 24 take it to the bank, first call, to see if they're one that opens or not? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 5:59PM CST Oh just like TO will always be remembered for Phillips.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 6:04PM CST No nothing, I even had to walk away from the blog. We was up by 20 and there were some that were complaining on almost every pay. It actually got comical. Although there were no fire Beck or Barney. One suggested that we dump Bo for Scott Frost and even questioned Bo's loyalty for the Huskers. That was cla$$ic. I understand concerns the last few years, the offense has stunk up the place. But last night was just funny.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 6:07PM CST 4 undefeateds in the B1G Illinios Wisconsin Michigan & Nebraska

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 6:10PM CST I thought Illnios got pasted Yesterday. they must have come back.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 6:11PM CST 4-0 just like us

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 6:13PM CST they scored 13 2nd half points to beat W Mich 23-20

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 6:13PM CST They had a pretty good tussel with Westren Mich. They did have to come back.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on September 25, 2011 6:29PM CST No no The badgers got out played by TCU no conspiracies no melt downs....they just got schooled!

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 6:32PM CST 10-1 odds that on 10/1 Corso puts a bucky head on any takers loved how he was wrong in '95 and had to eat his words at halftime

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 6:33PM CST Yesssss........Low you be correct.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 6:37PM CST Low, the only thing they did was go away from what worked, the running game.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 6:37PM CST Boomboom, Help me out on this one, Croso picked the Canes in 95? Why would he eat his words at half time?

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 6:39PM CST boom, I think Herbie will go with the Badgers and Corso will pick the Huskers.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 6:40PM CST I think the reality is emerging that we are not in as tough a football conference. This upcoming game represents the only 2 rated teams in the big ten. for what ever that is worth.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 6:44PM CST Wow for $271 for two tickets you can watch the Badgers vs the Huskers on the 50 yard line. Actually not a high as I would have expected? Whats that cost to see a game on the 50 at Memorial if you have to buy them through an agency?

Posted by: Low Country Husker on September 25, 2011 6:45PM CST No No Noted!

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 6:45PM CST Nish he said the edge goes to Florida because of the natural gra$$ field and made a big deal about how the game hinged on that at the half the score was 36 or something to 7 and he said maybe the gra$$ wasn't that big a factor you just wanted me to get busted by the profanity cops didn't you

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 6:49PM CST 1997 NU vs Udub we had no chance playing in one of the most hostial enviorments Brock was going to pick us apart. Hell he got hurt in the first half. he's never liked us since. Who won that game???

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 6:49PM CST wacky your probably right cause they do kinda take opposite sides

Posted by: rluben on September 25, 2011 6:54PM CST Nish that game day blog was kinda comical, I'm glad I never played with any people like that. I don't participate in them because it's just goofy the way some fans act, it's more than obvious they have no clue what they are watching sometimes. HSB2 is driving himself crazy with this weird perfection obsession demands...I get a kick out of fans who think other teams are just supposed to a$$ume a fetal position for us and not give a good effort. Some goofballs are just delusional enough to think that there aren't players on the opponents team that have the ability to make some plays now and then. How dare them make plays...bstrds

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 6:56PM CST PT good point I used to think we were a year or two out of the big dance but in this conference it could be sooner if we can stay clean two other ranked teams: # 19 Michigan and #24 Illinios

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 7:01PM CST 'guess we'll find out saturday'

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 7:03PM CST meant big game we are more than 2 years from the big dance under Doc lol

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 7:04PM CST Oh now we're goin to start complaining about being in the B1G! Look at it this way the Texa$$ League became better because of us! So There.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 7:07PM CST charger, I agree, the B1G is going to be tougher getting through this season than any we faced it the Big 12

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 7:13PM CST as you can tell by my av I love the B1G they threw us a life line can't wait to win the trophy

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 7:17PM CST AtM got beat yesterday out of the top 10 Mizzu got wacked out of top 25 As they start playing each other they will wind up with OU as the only team ranked in the top 10.

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 7:18PM CST Nish, I like the menu! For me it is a pound of butter and a gallon of syrup on Belgian blueberry. Just got back from a benefit BBall game for children with cancer. Certainly worth stepping away from the blog for a couple of hours.

Posted by: LosSantosKid on September 25, 2011 7:26PM CST we're going to earn our rating this week...Wiscy has it together and it's in Madtown. i wish i was playing still...i'd stomp a mud hole... ... well...you know. GBR

Posted by: LosSantosKid on September 25, 2011 7:28PM CST Wiscy should get -7 just for playing this in Madtown...just win DONU, just win baby. GBR

Posted by: NewfieFan on September 25, 2011 7:30PM CST this game, I'm afraid is going to be won in the trenches, on both sides of the balll... ...O-line's gotta Give Taylor to get there progressions and stop penentration up in his optiion lanes... ....D-line's gott pin those suckers to 3rd and long, all day long...If they allow Badgers to pile up the yards others have so far, it's going to be a tight game, you'd have to think that Badgers will be better in the red zone that NU's past opponents. ...Finally, HAVE to cleanup Penalties and turnovers...! We're going to need them in our favour to keep the Badgers off balance throughout the game. If this goes agains us, I don't anticipate an outstanding outcome...!

Posted by: LosSantosKid on September 25, 2011 7:35PM CST Newf, if we don't play smart, tough and near error free-inspired football...they will clip our wings big time. if we can't do the basics...including pitch and catch...it could be f-ugly...GBR 27-24 good guys in an Instant Clissic.

Posted by: charger on September 25, 2011 7:38PM CST stunts, twists & blitzes is wut the badgers are going to see all night long.

Posted by: LosSantosKid on September 25, 2011 7:48PM CST i am expecting us to FIND A WAY TO *WIN*...G B R we CAN do this...and i hope *they* BOlieve...!!

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 7:53PM CST This game is going to come down to who wants it more as both teams have players who can get it done as well as good coaching. Our ace in the hole is the Pelini brothers! The Huskers will have to bring their "A" game to be victorious in Madtown! I am a Boliever! GBR

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 8:08PM CST After hearing about last night's whining, I did a little speed read on the game thread. All I can say is I prefer trolls like Jackson1 & BuckyBadger to the lame Red fans. At least you know the source from which the sewage spills. Voicing displeasure over a play gone bad in the heat of the moment is one thing, but then there is crossing that line...which several did more than once. Here is a quick sampling. You can keep an eye out for these Corn Trolls should they return. Posted by: Iowan4NE on September 24, 2011 8:21PM CST We are doomed next week. We need Scott Frost. His heart is in Nebraska...Bo's is not. Posted by: Floridareksuh on September 24, 2011 8:52PM CST Our defense stinks, our defense stinks, if you are going to Wisconsing forget your black pack your pink! Posted by: Cornfed51 on September 24, 2011 9:16PM CST Anybody else have occasional Cosgrove flashbacks watching this years Blackshirts? Posted by: Coopster on September 24, 2011 9:16PM CST Huskers continue to play down to the competition - I blame Bo and the coaching staff for that.

Posted by: Trashman on September 25, 2011 8:10PM CST OMG As of last evening, this blog has gone from: "how can we accept anything other than complete dominance on both sides of the ball and defeat all inferior opponents by at least 4-5 TDs...." To.... "Wisky has played crappier teams with a crappier overall record and NU has tons of crazy offensive/defensive schemes under top secret double probation so NU should win (maybe handily) and stamp their place on the national scene again".... Even my wife could admire the emotional satire of LITR....

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 8:13PM CST rev, it was bad enough last night I turned it off and did some surfing instead, I did check back occasionally to see if it had aired out but was disappointed in so called fans posting such garbage!

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 8:18PM CST I'm trolling a badger site right now and getting some bites this is kinda fun

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 8:18PM CST Evening every one. Is it safe to post here?

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 8:20PM CST Good evening BR1, it is safe tonight, wasn't so good last night in case you didn't already know it.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 8:20PM CST you definitely get some responses to your comment

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 8:21PM CST boom, are you stooping to their level?

Posted by: huskers4_eva on September 25, 2011 8:21PM CST I thought there were lots of things to be disappointed about in last nights game. But I also thought there were a lot of good things too. In the end, I'm not completely satisfied, we're not where I expect us to be.. we need to keep getting better. Kinda sounds like Bo.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 8:21PM CST Rev, Your a funny guy you amuse me.... Yep that was just a sample last night. I keep, looking at the score, checking my kool-aid for the content, I was worried I had lost my mind and my reality wasn't on the same planted as those you mentioned. I love the one calling about Bo's heart...shessh I am not the biggest fan of Bo, but I would not question his heart. Trash, you SOB, how you been......? See Profanity Cops? If one really wants to cuss there is always away.

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 8:24PM CST wacky, I didn't have the pleasure of being on the thread. We had 4 tv's going in our home for 7 families including about 20 kids. Admittedly one tv was tuned to MN vs NDSU for my mom, although she surfed back to NU from time to time. One tv was tuned to the Husker VB game. But the largest crowds were around the remaining 2 tv's for FB. There were some groans when a ball came loose, but generally just a lot of cheering. The outcome was never in doubt for any one of us and we all smiled at the win. All that to say, I'm glad I missed out on the LITR experience.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 8:27PM CST There is always the one by HSB2, "Carnes reads the option much better than Taylor." Carnes has run the option play twice, maybe three times in a game. One time it stank and the other time it went well. Really? Now are we going to have the bench T-Mart post put Carnes in? The Best QB in any game is always the back up

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 8:28PM CST howdy wacky. I did not post last night but read and observed everything. I thought I was reading a posting from a bunch of whinny school girls here. A big scheesh.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 8:30PM CST Nish, I am one of those that thinks Carnes is going to be the better QB when he gets the opportunity to really show his stuff.

Posted by: RedDog77 on September 25, 2011 8:30PM CST boom, whats the site?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2011 8:32PM CST Welp... I feel pretty good about things. Our O looks much better. The whole scheme is at least decisive these dyas... which is a huge upgrade. Our D isn't playing as well... but thats to be expected since we lost all those great players in the secondary last year. We have a chance to win this game... and thats all you can ask for.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 8:32PM CST BR1, I was checking in occasionally to see if the goofs had left, but they kept at it longer than I cared to wait.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 8:33PM CST Wacky, Carnes may turn out to be the best QB in Husker History, but I don't think he is better than Taylor right now and I don't think he is pressing Taylor for playing time. This isn't Zak Lee vs Cody Green.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 8:34PM CST Posted by: Huskersincebirth2 on September 24, 2011 7:14PM CST Im guessing 8-4 no B1G title game apperance and no BCS Bowl game right now. Losses to: Wisconsin Penn State Michigan Ohio State

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 8:35PM CST By the way it looked to me, it wasn't so much that the goofs kept at it on the thread, but new goofs kept showing up.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 8:35PM CST wacky no I was very polite when I told them there was a lot of speed and firepower coming to town madbadger told me we were a one trick pony in Martinez and was polite as well Then I told him how Dennard is back and will lock down Toon Nation leading kick returner # 3 kicker the three headed monster yada yada and iether my computer froze up or I got locked out so I came back here

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 8:36PM CST I did not get to watch the game because I had to work for 15 hrs. straight. Many on here just thought Wyoming was going to just lay down for us. That was a big no. We won the game on true grit and perseverance. Replace Martinez because he can't throw ? Wow now I have heard it all. Martinez has a cannon of an arm and he can throw the deep strike. His throwing long strikes reminds me of an ex NFL Broncos quarterback.And yes I saw him throw from one end to the other.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 8:37PM CST Nish, I have predicted that BC will be the starter before the end of the season. I also think he will be the one to lead DONU to our next NC. I am a Boliever GBR

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 8:38PM CST here's site UW stays at No. 7 in ESPN/USA Today poll, drops to No. 7 in AP poll e-mail print By Jeff Potrykus of the Journal Sentinel

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 8:39PM CST Wacky, If Taylor is the backup, wow, we are loaded at QB. If your right Carnes is going to be one heck (can you say heck on here?) of a player.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 8:40PM CST trying it again UW stays at No. 7 in ESPN/USA Today poll, drops to No. 7 in AP poll By Jeff Potrykus of the Journal Sentinel

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 8:43PM CST Nish, IMO Carnes has better QB skills than TM, not as fast as TM but a better paser and makes better decisions already in his fledgling career. I am a Boliever Goooooooooooooooo Bigggggggggggggggggggggg Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 8:52PM CST 4-0 We have been at this point since 1970 "21" times. A good record so far. What can you say about Burkhead but wow. He just will not go down. Nish: I am one to be on the band wagon for the fullback position and the unknowns from the walk on program. Did I hear right and someone said the power I was used last night ?

Posted by: Bbudus on September 25, 2011 8:55PM CST I like that style of blog better( http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/130526988.html ). It is easier to respond directly to the blogger. .02 GBR

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 8:57PM CST wacky: He will have to be very good to beat out Martinez. Time will tell on this one.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 8:57PM CST BR1, check your messages

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 8:58PM CST If a RB lined up behind the FB behind the QB under center is a Power I...then yes, that is what it was. And they ran right and then left and then right and then left...and they couldn't be stopped.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 9:02PM CST I am the bad guy who said the BIG is not as strong as the twelve, which was sacrilidge I know. And I also know that will change and soon. OU was, is, and will remain a power. Texas will be back whether we like it or not. and for now they are still in the Big 12. As is A&M. On the Plus side Ohio State will also be back and perhaps Michigan. I think we must admit that any of those teams plus OSU would compete just fine in the BIG

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:06PM CST PT, Wiscy and some years Iowa are in there like Misery and Okie Lite.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 9:06PM CST Bbudus me too dont tell theNUorder I stole his handle but I always liked it and thought he will never know and now.......

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:07PM CST PT, Wiscy, Penn state and Iowa, some years are good like Misery and Okie Lite.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 9:08PM CST besides if they decide to retaliate I'm in the clear

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:09PM CST Almost a laner, I didn't see my post come up and rewrote it and added Penn St as I forgot them the first time.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 9:10PM CST PT, I for one am glad the Big 10 is not up to speed this year or are they. It's a good year us to Break in. Penn St. will be good again just a soon as Joe Pa decides to retire. He is a youthfull.....80 something so it could be a while. Ohio St will always be a power. As soon as they get of probation. Michigan is a major power in recruiting every year and I think the current coach with get them back on track. The Badger are making a case to be in the elite. MSU, they can beat anyone on any given day as well as lose. Iowa, we don't have the best luck against the Hawk-eyes. Their is Illinois, are they better than Iowa St, cuss the have beaten us a few times. Again I'm glad the Big 10 is down some this year. We can come in an steal the Big 10 Championship our first year with a young team. The next few years we dominate.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 9:11PM CST PT Michigan is back 4-0

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 9:12PM CST rev: That is good to know and that just proves one of my points that the power I and the option are not dead but alive and well here at NU. I have keep on saying when Beck was hired we were going back to power football and it is about time. I will say I am very very pleased with Beck almost as snug as a bug in a rug. I am very curious on how Wisconsin is going to stop our run attack. Very curious indeed. Wacky a reply right back to ya.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:14PM CST Michigan is 4-0 but they are not back yet, by any stretch of the imagination. sheesh

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:15PM CST BR1, a reply back to ya as well

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 9:16PM CST Wish Bo had gone to Beck earlier....like 2 years go. Think this years offense with Suh (Bo's ) defense. It wouldn't have matter if TX put an hour back on the clock. We win several Big 12 Championships and exit the Big 12.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 9:17PM CST Wacky they they absolutly handled the aztecs last year Mizz had to come from behind to win

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 9:18PM CST Nish, I totally agree. and I love where we are. Competing in a conference where schools have some respect for each other is very good. Just got done watching the social network. Good flick

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 9:19PM CST Nish: MSU has to put together a back to back winning season first which they have not done in a long time. Besides we have took them 5-0 so I am not worried on this one.

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 9:20PM CST I may be wrong, but I saw the power eye formation just once...not stacked, but a normal eye with the one extra back next to the FB...either that or it was someone in motion who came into the backfield. It was hard to pay attention with 20 kids jumping around. We tried to get parents to tie their kids to the hitching post at the front door, but they didn't like the idea. Anyway...there was a whole lot of regular I formation in the fourth quarter...and it was full of power as they ran over the defense. Beck did show some looks not previously seen this season like Rex in the wildcat. If he prepares a game plan with everything he has tested so far, it will certainly keep defenses guessing.

Posted by: huskers4_eva on September 25, 2011 9:21PM CST Should be a good game against Wisconsin next Saturday... I hope.

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 9:23PM CST watching Jeff Duham on comedy central. What a funny guy.

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 9:30PM CST Back at ya wacky.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 9:37PM CST Jeff Duham is a hoot Might take the GF to go see him for her birthday. Rev, I have watched all the games from the comfort of my home with the GF on the puter in the other room. Can't beat it. Plus picked up the DVR last week. You rerun the prior play all you want.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 9:38PM CST it will be a good game speed vs acromegaly (Andre the giant syndrom) I'm betting the farm on speed

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:40PM CST PT, check your messages

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 9:44PM CST rev Rex in the wild cat, seems like I've seen that before whatever works seems to be this Offense but the option pitch still scares me

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 9:49PM CST Back at ya wacky

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 9:50PM CST boom, Rex in the wildcat is not new. I just thought it had not yet been used this year.

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:52PM CST Back at ya PT

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 9:52PM CST Back to ya wacky.

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 9:53PM CST Wacky, PT & BR1...what's the secret? It's like whispering in public.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 9:55PM CST wacky nice post on the sentinal just went back there to look not as much traffic there huh

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 9:56PM CST we should take that blog over lol

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:56PM CST They will be trying to figure out a lot of different things and will not be ready for everything in our arsenal, Beck just has to figure out where to attack the Badgers! I am a Boliever Goooooooooooo Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggggggggg Reeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: big red 1 on September 25, 2011 9:56PM CST setting up a shin ding

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 9:58PM CST Rev, I am trying to set up a meet and greet before the Ohio State game on Oct 8, will you be around?

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 9:59PM CST boom...that is something to set up...taking over a badger blog. It would certainly provide a nice evening of entertainment...lol...

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 10:01PM CST looked at the stats their kicker is 1 for 2 with a 29 yarder return game not so grand either

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 10:02PM CST rev, it is not like on LITR, there are about 10 posts since noon, LOL

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 10:02PM CST oh almost forgot he missed an extra point

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 10:03PM CST No...won't be around. Outlaws coming, wife's bday, son's bday. Better stay at home with my bride. Y'all have a hoot!

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 10:04PM CST wacky I like to think of it as I shut them up

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 10:05PM CST Just watched the game over again. Sheesh, couldn't really find anything to be upset about, other than we could have scored again in the end. The last scoring drive was a thing of beauty. Power I right, Power I left. Rotating a different back on each run. Power football is back in Husker land. Just saying.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2011 10:05PM CST Nite all.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 10:06PM CST PS Pa$$ is considered a profanity.

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 10:06PM CST We could always ask Bucky Badger about his stomping grounds on the internet. Nah...he probably wouldn't tell. If I come across an active Wisconsin blog, I'll let you know.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 10:07PM CST Nite PT

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 10:07PM CST not like here were people just avoid me

Posted by: wacky4huskers on September 25, 2011 10:07PM CST Time for this old man to say good night as well.

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 10:12PM CST Nish, I tried to post a link to 1,850 words that are not accepted by the filter, but because the link had "a$$" in address, it was rejected. Go figure.

Posted by: boomboom on September 25, 2011 10:16PM CST goodnite PT and Wacky I'm out too somebody keep up on the sentinal blog for us

Posted by: rev.redd on September 25, 2011 10:23PM CST nite...out...

Posted by: CornKeeper on September 25, 2011 10:43PM CST wow, the spread is 9.5 in favor of Bucky... cheese holes better watch out, NU will come out swinging! GBR!

Posted by: RedGore on September 25, 2011 10:44PM CST Anyone still lurking?

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2011 10:54PM CST Sup Re Gore?

Posted by: RedGore on September 25, 2011 11:02PM CST How's Vegas treating you, Nish? I understand NU "covered points" in yesterdays game. I have no clue what that means... :}

Posted by: Viking Husker on September 25, 2011 11:24PM CST Green, Abdullah, Heard The three best backs that anyone could have, The three best backs that anyone could have, The best three backs that anyone could have, I mean the three best backs that anyone could have, and they'll never ever ever be apart!

Posted by: Rickinaz on September 26, 2011 12:31AM CST I'm impressed with Wisconcin's O-line. They are large. We however can get under them and move a bit quicker. If our linebackers come to play we can limit the rushing game. The question for us will be can we put pressure on the qb and help our secondary. I think for the most part we can. On offense, Taylor tosses the pig pretty well after he throws it some, so my advice is to toss it around a bit more before the game and get zero'ed in before the kick. We don't throw it 30 times per game so it won't wear him down any to warm up extra good. We will have to mix things up in our running game to continue to have as much success on the ground early, but by the mid 3rd qtr we will have their D-line sucking air. Handling the noise is something we did pretty well last week. We look to be proficient in getting ourselves into the right play. Overall, I think were ready. Make sure we tuck it away. Throw the ball with effort to be right on the nose every play and I think our offense will do well. This should be a great game. I only wish I were young and playing in this thing. It should be a great one! Go Big Red!

Posted by: TomOs on September 26, 2011 6:33AM CST They appear only average speed on the D line and LB's, although one of their LB.. didnt catch his name is a big run stopper, not as fast as our L. David, they are wounded in the secondary have lost 3 guys back there.. we will definitely have to toss the rock to move consistently .. as I believe they will try to stop our run first at all costs.. we will have to stop their run also first, but can not over play it as R. W. likes to throw it, Dennard must be on Toon.. R.W. likes to sit in the pocket, need hits on him.. hit him, that will rattle him.. good things will happen for NU, if that can be accomplished... jm observations..

Posted by: Jackson1 on September 26, 2011 11:28AM CST This game sure feels like USC in Lincoln a few years ago. An NU Team that doesn't look great and many rationalized the inconsistencies....only to witness a slaughter at the hands of a mediocre USC Team. How can you forget the "We're Back" under Bill Callahan?? Oh....I'm certain nobody on this blog was apart of "that".

Posted by: Jumbo Stiehm on September 26, 2011 4:06PM CST still think Jackhole1 isnt a troll trashman?
