Posted by: Message on September 25, 2009 11:36AM CST Huskers 34 Lafayette 10

Posted by: TomOs on September 25, 2009 11:38AM CST 32-3

Posted by: Denver Bob on September 25, 2009 11:39AM CST NU 45 LL 17 Huskers dominate first half, but give valuable reps to the depth in the second. GBR!

Posted by: RedDog77 on September 25, 2009 11:41AM CST Huskers roll. 49-14

Posted by: dbhuskers on September 25, 2009 11:41AM CST Best week of practice coming off a very heartbreaking loss. These mild cajuns dont have a chance. Huskers 56 Cajuns 3 The defense led by Suh lays some smack down with six sacks even though ULL hasnt allowed a sack all year yet. 3 interceptions by the d also. Zac Lee and Cody Green combine to lead the offense to 500 yards. Equal rushing and passing yards. Lifes good isnt it>?!!!!!

Posted by: step_on_it on September 25, 2009 11:46AM CST Big Red 51 Cajuns 6 Bonus prediction: 4 TDs for Zac. Double-bonus prediction: Over 200 all-purpose yards for Helu. Double-secret prediction: Eric Martin literally hospitalizes someone.

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 11:50AM CST Larry the Cable Guy comes in and plays QB in the fourth as a walk on Huskers 63 ULL 7

Posted by: Husker4Life on September 25, 2009 11:53AM CST NU 56 ULL 0 The blackshirts will make sure they give everyone the message. The blackshirts are back and a force to be reckoned with!

Posted by: HuskerfromAR on September 25, 2009 11:55AM CST 800 yds Total O. 500 yds Rushing, 4 players over 100 yds, 4 Rushing TD's. Lee and Green Combine for 300 yds passing and 4 TD's. 8 sacks on Defense, 5 turnovers, 2 fumbles, 3 Ints on Defense ULL- 180 yds Total O, mainly in 3d and 4th Qtrs. Rushing Yds- 70, pass yds, 110, 2nd Half. Halftime score- 49-0 NU in a complete Blowout and Shutout for the 300th consecutive Sellout. 72-0 Husker Nation and Sea of Red Pinky and the Blaine continue to tremble in their Depends (they have on for the NU film) as they realize they are extremely overmatched and Blaine will be broken completely in half on a sack by Suh for betraying the Husker Nation

Posted by: rluben on September 25, 2009 11:57AM CST I predict the Ragin Cajun QB tries to call a time out while he's getting sacked for the 5th time and fumbles. Suh tosses him in the stands so he can go after the ball, picks it up and runs it in. Fans are later quoted hearing the QB scream something that sounded like "No Mas, No Mas". As usual NU fans show their class and catch the poor fella so he doesn't hurt himself, but they have to practically toss him back on the field because he says he's gonna to stay up there where it's safe.

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 12:03PM CST RLUBEN- Suh reminds me of a giant squid

Posted by: HuskerfromAR on September 25, 2009 12:05PM CST I correct my total yards for ULL on this logic. NU has given up 27 total points in 3 games, that's 9 ppg. This is NU's third home game of the season. 9ppgx3home games for NU this year minus one loss = -27 total yards for ULL. 27/3=9x3(-1) or 27/3=9x(-3)= -27 total yards

Posted by: BleedingRed on September 25, 2009 12:06PM CST I say that each and every player on this team has a responsibility to go out and to give their best effort. If we are fortunate, a lot of players will get to see some quality time on the field. This is once of the key ingredients that bring up the level of competition in practices and ultimately what will once again make this program great.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2009 12:07PM CST You got the GIANT part right.

Posted by: HuskerfromAR on September 25, 2009 12:09PM CST rluben that is absolutely classic, I was crying I was laughing so hard. Earnie, the ULL QB may feel like he is in that old B movie, "It Came from Beneath The Sea" where the giant squid attacks the Golden Gate Bridge

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 12:11PM CST Husker from AR- That is my 2nd favorite movie

Posted by: Click_on_Husker on September 25, 2009 12:15PM CST Big Red 47 Crying Cajuns 10

Posted by: bigred-Ore on September 25, 2009 12:15PM CST 48 to 10 NU. All LL points scored after liberal substitutions are made late in the game by NU. Helu gets his 100 early and sits. Burkehead and Lester Ward get significant snaps. Bell or Kinnie get first TD. Baby Stein gets lots of snaps as does Meredith (sp) NU plays 6 LBs. Unconfirmed sighting of Bo smiling.

Posted by: Gofor2 on September 25, 2009 12:15PM CST 52 to 7 Bruno/Z/Ray: suggestion for the date in NYC tomorrow: Times Square, ESPNzone. I watched a few games there and usually had a dozen or so Huskers in attendance. The date can be distracted by the freak show in Times Square while your busy with important Husker stuff.

Posted by: Trashman on September 25, 2009 12:17PM CST 52-0. First shutout since I don't know how long ago. Take it to the bank, picks have treated me well this year. (42-10 ((49-3)), 38-17 ((38-9)), 23-17 NU ((16-15 tech turds))).

Posted by: Gofor2 on September 25, 2009 12:21PM CST PT Your new avatar is right on. My legal team tells me the statute of limitations on turkey rustling is limitless.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2009 12:27PM CST I knew you would like it. Rustling Turkeys however, are white. As you know. NU 45-7.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 25, 2009 12:29PM CST Cody Green plays the entire 4th quarter By himself. Scores 3 times and holds Cajuns to 0 points.

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 12:31PM CST I once knew a black rustling turkeys

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 12:32PM CST I think his name was Al Sharpton

Posted by: TommyOC on September 25, 2009 12:48PM CST BLOWOUT COMING - I think we put a hurt on these guys this weekend. 45 - 3

Posted by: Husker 18-CO on September 25, 2009 1:00PM CST Huskers take it out on ULL from last weeks painful loss and get ready for their kitten stomping on Oct 8! Huskers 56 ULL 3

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2009 1:07PM CST I believe it will be a great game for the Huskers. It will be a blow out 63-7. By the middle of the third quarters the bench will be emptied with Husker walk-ons from all over seeing playing time. Towns we haven’t heard from since the early 80 will be rejoicing towns like Duncan, Kimball, Prim Rose and Cornlee will have kids playing. There will be tailgating until the sun comes up Sunday. There will be kool-aid for every one and Runza’s as well. A Farmer from Valentine will come up with a concoction of mixing vodka with cool-aid, sticking a Slim Jim’s in it and freezing it. There will be frozen popsicle sticks with Slim Jims everywhere. They will become the next greatest fad. The farmer will eventually sell this concoction to 7-Eleven who will mass produce this minus the vodka in the form of a Slim Jim slurped. The farmer will get so rich from his concoction and become the next great contributor to the Athletics department. GO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: cajunhusker on September 25, 2009 1:31PM CST Huskers 42-7. I agree that Cody Green plays at least one quarter. Rex Burkhead gets 15 touches.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 2:18PM CST I don't make preditions since I'm superstitious. But if I did... I would say.... 81-4.

Posted by: Flic on September 25, 2009 2:19PM CST Not one to stick my neck out, but I see Helu getting his yards and sitting. Then, sports fans, you are going to see a performance which will show you how a talented un-recruited (by Texas Schools) RB from Plano stirred the entire area with his ability. This kid is for real and when he finally gets on stage for more than one scene....Watch out. Gordito Husker Fan Since 55

Posted by: boom.roasted on September 25, 2009 2:26PM CST 56-0. Alex Henery doesn't kick a single field goal, and the Blackshirts earn their Blackshirts.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 2:35PM CST Burkhead was recruited by all the Texas schools... outside of Austin. And the rumors were... they were close to offering in the end.

Posted by: BigAppleHusker on September 25, 2009 2:45PM CST Huskers 49 - 3 Winners over Lafayette.

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 25, 2009 2:51PM CST What texas schools are outside of Austin? Exactly

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 25, 2009 2:52PM CST Undefeated SunBelt Champions wooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 25, 2009 2:57PM CST The "General Lee" will prevail as usual. The D and the receivers let him down last week. Enough of that krappola

Posted by: MileHiHusker on September 25, 2009 3:00PM CST There is a lot of distraction for this game. I hope the coaches and players aren't as fixated on that last game as we all are. If so we won't be able to score more than 63 points. It seems that even the coaches are counting this one early by insinuating that once the game is in control we will play a lot of people. It's not normally safe to think that way. I think the Huskers will struggle a bit in this one NU 56 - them 14

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 25, 2009 3:03PM CST 51-10 - Their QB gets sacked for the first time. Helu runs for 150 yds. Green plays in the 4th, punts, and also kicks a field goal. Makes 5 tackles and throws 2 TD passes and runs for one. The first Husker in history, to punt, kick a field goal, play defense, throw at least one touchdown and run another. Fans on Monday then petition Bo to make him the OC.

Posted by: Big Wave Dave on September 25, 2009 3:07PM CST Like I said before, I want a 60-0 whipping and Cajuns limping home with red cheeks wondering what happened......

Posted by: Ice Station Omaha on September 25, 2009 3:16PM CST Huskers 34-14

Posted by: Stillahuskerfan on September 25, 2009 3:26PM CST I think the huskers will dominate after they had their little hickup last Saturday. 45 to 0. Suhhhhhhhhhhh weet GBR

Posted by: Triple Option on September 25, 2009 3:26PM CST The opposing coach dies of fright from the ferocious gaze from Bo and the sight of him furiously chewing his big red gum at the opening handshake. Several of their top players wet themselves upon seeing this. This leads to several early turnovers and 35 points are scored before the end of the first quarter.

Posted by: TheOneAndOnly on September 25, 2009 3:38PM CST 52-7. Lafayette scores on the first possession-an 76 yard throw to one of their receivers and Matt O'Hanlon misses the coverage.

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 3:40PM CST Triple Option- Bo will go out to shake hands with his pet giant squid,huh

Posted by: drivebyposter on September 25, 2009 3:45PM CST Over/under on the # of sticks in the mouth of Bo at any given time?

Posted by: no nothing on September 25, 2009 3:49PM CST I predict we rebound from last weeks loss as well as: No fullback. No option game. No blitz package. No shutout. Nothing new in the running attack. No change in QB when the game is on the line. No change in game management overall. No short yardage power rushing game. Some change in red zone play do to the opponent. Continued improvement in defensive play. Possibly better substitution of players since they have apparently identified a problem in that area. Better play from special teams. Display more faith in what the team can do rather than dwell on what they maybe can't do. Final Score: 56-17 Huskers. GBR

Posted by: Busiekcreek on September 25, 2009 3:59PM CST Nebraska is not playing Lafayette. The school is named the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. It is known as ULL.

Posted by: NishBigRed on September 25, 2009 3:59PM CST Zak will pass for 600 yards, 6 touch downs and one interception and be done by the 3rd quarter. Cody Green will come in the last series of the half; scramble 60 yards for a TD. In the 3rd quarter Cody will complete 7 passes for 2 touchdowns. On Monday all the Monday morning Quarterbacks will be screaming for the benching of Zak. Bloggers will bash Zak for the one interception ready to king Cody. King Cody for Heisman!

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 4:03PM CST IH))) And after Cody Green is petitioned to be OC... his first play call is a one yard loss and he is fired and replaced by Zac Lee. With Zac Lee calling plays... Taylor Martinez takes us to 4 straight NC's and goes down as the greatest football player ever... right after Tim Tebow was pronounced "greatest of all time" 3 years earlier. I could see it happening.

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 4:03PM CST Cody Green is still a baby squid, let him develop

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 4:05PM CST Taylor Mrtinez gets the Hiesman, but is upstaged by Kanye West who thought Melvin Uturdlay was more deserving It could happen, really

Posted by: Blackshirtsdef on September 25, 2009 4:08PM CST 52-3 at the half.......all starters are benched and 2nd and 3rd stringers finish them off! GBR!!

Posted by: no nothing on September 25, 2009 4:08PM CST Step. You are kind of a glass half full type aren't you? I guess what is important is what was in the glass when it was full. GBR

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 4:09PM CST So.... did you guys hear we are bringing in two of the top playmakers in Florida this weekend? Both are WR's. One is rated as Top 20 in Florida and Top 3 in Florida WR's... the "other" guy is ESPN Top 150. Both are absolute burners. Is this a good idea by coach Pelini? Or should we just get a walk-on from Iowa and create our own stars?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 4:11PM CST No... I'm a half full type of guy. I'm always upbeat and kinda charming.

Posted by: no nothing on September 25, 2009 4:15PM CST I believe you. My question is, will Zac be OC-ing from up in the booth or down on the sidelines? GBR

Posted by: rluben on September 25, 2009 4:15PM CST I predict ernie snaps into a SlimJim each NE score as he does his best "Macho Man" Randy Savage impression. Which results in an emergency stomach pump soon after the game.

Posted by: earniechambers on September 25, 2009 4:19PM CST rluben-good prediction I predict a giant squid will come to your door during the game and eat your television

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 25, 2009 4:19PM CST I am out, today is the Good Wife's birthday, going out for a early evening meal. Forever 39. Talk later. GO BIG RED.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 4:23PM CST IH)))) Tell her we all said "Happy Birthday Mrs IH".

Posted by: no nothing on September 25, 2009 4:31PM CST Test.

Posted by: rluben on September 25, 2009 4:37PM CST lol step, you know we all know we need a mix. Always doggin' the walkons sheesh, admit we've had some pretty darn good ones who had no stars but made their own. Sure most will just play scout team, but there's plenty of big time scholarship recruits that end up sitting and watching or not even being here for 4-5 yrs too. Hell yeah we want those burners if they are talented, can run a route, block, blow past someone and catch the ball. Who wouldn't? We need players that can play and play for something other than themselves. I don't care if they be walk-ons or 5 stars, they just need to play with heart and passion and have that it factor whatever it is + a whole lot of talent. Coincidentally, I think we have a team of players such as that right now and more on the way, sky's the limit if they keep working to get better. I get more pleasure as a fan watching a team go through the process of overcoming adversity and mistakes, youth, inexperience and becoming a force to reckon with...that process of growth as a team as a program is something we are witnessing yet again in Husker land with a young staff doing it their way, the right way. Bo's going to go after players, he's no dummy. Sometimes they are going to be recruited walk-ons though who become more than the average fan thought they would. This won't be the last NE fielded that has some highly touted recruit sitting and watching a walk-on play ahead of him. I say we drop the animosity towards walkons or guys with just a couple stars and get behind this staff and the players who earn their spot on the field of play no matter what they were projected out of HS. Bring on all the scholy talent we can get, but they best come ready to perform and work hard or get left in someone's dust who isn't afraid to lay it all on the line.

Posted by: rluben on September 25, 2009 4:41PM CST And that's no shot at you step or no lecture, I know your passion and appreciate it more the more I've come to know you. on this blog. So don't take it that way ok.

Posted by: lincolniter on September 25, 2009 4:44PM CST Half a hundred to ZERO! Big red rolls! Go Big Red!!!

Posted by: no nothing on September 25, 2009 4:50PM CST I think they prefer to run this program as an NFL franchise as Callahan started years ago. Since we don't get draft picks and their is no free agency, they go for the stars, but that is just my opinion. GBR

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 4:55PM CST rluben))) You know I was just messin. Technically... it was a shot at this guy that posted the other day that we would only recruit 2* and 3* players. I follow recruiting... thats not how it is.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 4:58PM CST Do you guys think the Chiefs can stop the Eagles with Mike Vick running the Wild Dog formation this weekend?

Posted by: Crazy Jack on September 25, 2009 5:01PM CST NU Offense 49 NU Black Shirts 14 ULL 14

Posted by: Crazy Jack on September 25, 2009 5:03PM CST Just a bit off subject, last night on the Big Red Wrap up, Joe Ganz was on he is going to talk to Coach Bo about coaching.

Posted by: rluben on September 25, 2009 5:14PM CST I know ya was step. I just wanted to write a speech man. If dudes can play I want 'em.

Posted by: rluben on September 25, 2009 5:15PM CST You think Vik's going to get much PT?

Posted by: rluben on September 25, 2009 5:19PM CST Well that's cool to hear Crazy Jack. I think Brian or Sipp wrote an article not long ago where Watson mentioned something about Joe coaching as a possibility.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 8:24PM CST Nobody knows. My guess is... Vick gets 10 snaps. Maybe more.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 8:29PM CST Last weekend I spent an entire night licking the back of this girls throat. Then the next Monday she tells me her roommate has has strep throat. Now... as of today... I'm sick as s***. I feel horrible. I need one of youse to bring me some soup. Preferably clam chowder with ground Louisiana giant squid tentacles sprinkled on top.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 8:32PM CST I'll take that clam chowder with ground Louisiana giant squid tentacles... fresh... if possible. Shouldn't be hard to find. I hear they are basically crawling out of the ocean over there.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 8:34PM CST Nevada went down and scored on their first drive. They are winning 7-6. The bad news is... somehow they used every single on of their timeouts doing it. Yeah... you heard me correct. Nevada used all 3 of their timeouts on the first drive.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 8:37PM CST My body was a little achy. So I busted out the percoset. Perhaps I was looking for an excuse? Maybe... maybe not. But anywho... I don't think it's working. They said I would feel better. I don't feel a thing.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 25, 2009 8:38PM CST I somehow forgot to mention this all week. I was thoroughly impressed with VT's cheerleaders last week. Thats an impressive group right there. They had a couple of stunners.

Posted by: Blackshirtsdef on September 26, 2009 8:38AM CST Sellout.......Shutout!! GBR!!
