RE: Sticking Through a Slump•Oct 16th, 2012
Spelling aside Jim, the best football coach I had would grab the cage on my helmet and yell into my face. He ended up being my favorite coach I ever had. Moot point but spelling can be oVer r8ted. I just hope the team does well.

Where would you be without me, Gollum!, Gollum!?! I saved us! It was me! We survived because of me!!!
RE: Mistakes Doom Huskers Against South Carolina•Jan 3rd, 2012
Part of me thinks some Husker fans just want a stoic head coach who never shows emotion. Tom Osborne was that to the point where he rarely smiled. Win the National Championship and TO cracked a smile. Otherwise TO was pretty much stone faced, not angry or excited. Bo Pelini is …more »
RE: Nebraska Beats Penn State But Spartans Win Too•Nov 13th, 2011
Thanks Darren it was not really a issue to me, but I know you guys like positive input. Had the MSU game been vs the Cyclones who knows? ISU can pull out wins when the "experts" say it wont happen LOL
RE: Just One Game•Sep 27th, 2011
I am just looking forward to watching the game. I think some are getting a little too deep. It just football.
RE: Put the Crack Pipe Down, Wildcats•Aug 23rd, 2011
OU7 does have one point even though he is trolling. We need to win first. Then we can brag. Hey OU7 tell us about your perfect season for the Sooners first please. We would like to read it.
RE: What Will Bubba Starling Do?•Jul 14th, 2011
I give Bubba credit for the fact he has kept his mouth shut. It at least shows that no matter his decision he may have the ability to not put his foot in his mouth. Given how text happy some young people are now I still think it shows for something. …more »

RE: Why It’s Okay To Hate Iowa•Jun 23rd, 2011
I grew up in Iowa and Nebraska, but I have lived in Iowa most my life. Iowa fans love to knock Nebraska, some even hate the Huskers on principal. Most Iowa fans are cool, just like Nebraska a limited few ruin their image. But I digress... I am Cyclone grad, I …more »
RE: Don't Pencil In That Title Just Yet•Jun 5th, 2011
I just want to know if our new O can produce first downs. Also, if Martinez gets hurt again... who knows. I am tired of only being excited when the Blackshirts on are on the field.
RE: On Cody Green•Jun 5th, 2011
I don't understand why some people are trashing Cody Green. Sure he might not have played as well as we might have thought, but for personal character he is about as good as you can get. The kid just wants to play football, isn't that enough.
RE: Don't Pencil In That Title Just Yet•Jun 1st, 2011
Aye, I like the four quarters theme. Many times I have yet to see a team under Bo play well for 4 quarters. Maybe that should be a focus of practice.
RE: Caputo on Rimington Watch List•May 27th, 2011
Isn't John Garrison from 2002 the new hire? I only wish to see more of the old pipeline days.
RE: Baseball's Coach Anderson Fired•May 24th, 2011
I forgot Nebraska has a baseball program. Sad I know, but I graduated from Iowa State which cut the baseball program back when I was in school because of some BS state law. The law was about state funded sports and making sure it was equal with men and women. Not …more »
RE: Profiles in Slobberknocking: Crouch Humiliates Iowa•May 13th, 2011
Greg living in Iowa, most Iowa fans right now seem to dismiss Nebraska. Most, as the everyday Joe Schmo fan, aka they don't know anything about Nebraska. From what I hear is well if Iowa State can beat them so can we. Pretty much until the Huskers get a W on …more »
RE: AAU: Tipping Point or Just a Talking Point•May 6th, 2011
The Big Ten wanted to compete with the SEC. Nebraska made that possible. It is all about football money and the conference. If you look at the Big Ten Network you can see how they lead the field against other conferences. What they lacked was a 12 team conference with a …more »
RE: Worth a Premium•Apr 27th, 2011
You do understand most Nebraska fans like Oklahoma? As in we respect the school's football program and tradition, try to show some back next time you post. Have a nice day.
RE: Post Thankgiving Nebraska-Iowa Game Now on Friday•Mar 13th, 2011
I personally am very happy that the game will be played on Black Friday, aka The Day after Thanksgiving. Being I live Iowa, and grew up in both Nebraska and Iowa, this is pure bliss to me. The Big 10 proved to me they do care about history with this change. …more »
RE: Shawn Watson's History With Huskers Over Without Impression•Feb 19th, 2011

RE: The Big Ten's best newcomers•Feb 8th, 2011
I have high hopes for the new recruits. It is always good when you have a high ranked class. Mostly I want to see how the O-line and RBs perform. In a perfect world this class of O-line might help reestablish the tradition of the Nebraska Pipeline. The Blackshirts are back, …more »

Turkish What do I know about Diamonds? I am a boxing promoter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8jbt0wBkMI Great movie. Not sure I understand your reference to to quote. Is Nebraska's caravan the coach?
RE: Coaching Change Distracts From Signings•Feb 5th, 2011
I would love to see Scott Frost as a coach at NU. But last I checked he has a pretty good job at Oregon. I am not sure Nebraska could sway him to come, or even if he is being considered.
RE: Signing Day Open Thread•Feb 2nd, 2011
My last check on Rivals only has two guys from Rancho Cucamonga, CA waiting to sign. Joseph Carter & Daimion Stafford. Otherwise all have signed, Aaron Green & Bubba Starling.
RE: No Pressure, Mr. Bondi•Jan 31st, 2011
Call me crazy, but if this new kid is not above par in kicking... Nebraska might be OK. It forces the O to score TDs. I know this is not a popular idea, but it might force the coaches to score TDs instead of going for 50 yard FGs. Have a …more »
RE: Book Report: War as They Knew It•Jan 29th, 2011

RE: Where Pelini Ranks Among Big Ten Coaches•Jan 13th, 2011
Tom I always enjoy your articles. I think your chart is pretty close from our red tinted glasses. I would have only switched Joe Paterno down to #3 and bumped Bret Bielma up to #2. JoePa's track record is great, but I sadly see another Florida Sate type of coaching replacement …more »

RE: Delany to Revisit Division Names•Dec 18th, 2010
zzzzz.... Huh, what? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Nebraska is no longer in the Big XII. This stuff matters now? Yeah, well not really, sorta. Insert stupid comment about Nebraska joining the Big Ten "here"
RE: Delany to Revisit Division Names•Dec 18th, 2010
Lakes and Plains. Nobody really cares how geographically accurate the names are. The NFL proves this. Either way, the B1G TEN need's to keep the division names simple and easy to keep separate. One of the biggest mistakes that was made was the fact "Leaders and Legends" are too easily confused …more »
RE: A B1G Mistake?•Dec 15th, 2010
I don't like the division names. Two name that are better that I heard yesterday. Legends and Icons (keeps with the current theme) or Plains and Lakes. As people above said nobody really cares about the geography of the divisions, but the division names are epic fail. /face falm
RE: What Steinkuhler Suspension Means in Holiday Bowl•Dec 10th, 2010
DUI is serious, I hope the young man learns from this. Next year I am sure he can help coach up the underclassmen with his experience. The unity council won't stand for anything else.
RE: Will Nebraska Address Pelini to Miami Rumors with Flat Denial?•Dec 10th, 2010
I normally enjoy reading internet husker blogs, but rumors like this make me sick. Anyway. Bo Pelini is not the type of guy to hide things. Watch his press conferences, he is blunt to say the least. If any of this BS is true, I am pretty sure we would have …more »
RE: Spectacular Defensive Performance Not Enough to Overcome Mistakes•Dec 5th, 2010
PSW you pretty much summed up my thoughts. Something Watson lacks is common sense, to say the least. The Big Ten won't fear the Peso linebacker, or the pass defense in general. OU did not last night, as we all saw. You have to be able to man up and pound …more »
RE: Spectacular Defensive Performance Not Enough to Overcome Mistakes•Dec 5th, 2010
I just do not understand why Martinez was not pulled when he was self destructing. At the bare minimum to calm him down. Cody Green from what little information given to fans seems healthy, so I just did not understand it. Heck, last years game vs Texas, Bo pulled Zac Lee …more »
RE: One Last Sooner-Husker Contest Feels So Right•Nov 30th, 2010
I am just happy Nebraska gets to play OU for the last Big 12 championship game. If the Huskers win, I want to see Dan Beebe hand that trophy in person to Osborne and Pelini, or will he send it by mail? I know Dan Beebe is scared of Nebraska fans. …more »
RE: Rooting for Uninteresting Game Versus Kansas•Nov 13th, 2010
My guess is this. Rhoads gamble on the 2 point conversion was most likely based on the fact he felt he would not be able to beat Nebraska in a shootout. I am a ISU grad. I was happy for my Cyclones, and was proud that the Rhoads made that bold …more »
RE: Video of an ISU player twisting Rex Burkhead's helmet•Nov 9th, 2010
I watched the game live and the ABC announcers thought the flag was on ISU. When it was called on Nebraska, they were confused as were most of us. That call by the Refs was pretty bad. Not that it matters but the TV announcers thought so too. It was at …more »
RE: Huskers Squander Two Touchdown Lead, Beat Iowa State in Overtime•Nov 7th, 2010

RE: Huskers Squander Two Touchdown Lead, Beat Iowa State in Overtime•Nov 7th, 2010
I actually thought the ABC announcers were much better then the last two games. Most of the game they were talking up NU and the announcers seemed confused at some of the penalties. To be honest some of the flags confused me too. Compared to the last two games on ABC …more »
RE: Iowa State No Gimme•Nov 7th, 2010
Nu-ISU-Fan I think you ended up getting as close to a tie as you could get. Good game by ISU, and credit to the bold call to go for 2.
RE: Huskers Squander Two Touchdown Lead, Beat Iowa State in Overtime•Nov 7th, 2010
A win is a win. We all could tell ISU showed up to play and as much as the ESPN "experts" down-played this game I thought it would be close. ISU is a much better team then they are given credit for. They did beat Texas and I was damn glad …more »
RE: Is the Martin Suspension Just Beebe Being Petty?•Oct 31st, 2010
Yes Donnie Black Shirt, but it remains to be seen if the Big 12 suspends anymore players for a game... Osborne's hit on Gabbert was almost identical to last weeks hit. So we will see.
RE: Another Saturday Without Husker Football•Oct 10th, 2010
Lets see what the final record is before we judge another school. I do not foresee many undefeated teams by the end of the season. We have to be perfect to compare at the end too. My 2 cents.
RE: Never forget.•Oct 10th, 2010
OU7times One question. You seem to be the negative to the point it is hard to take you serious. Don't you understand a Big 12 champ game might end up being OU vs NU??? Chill out dude. Your team has a very good chance to play Nebraska again. You are acting …more »
RE: Huskers Trounce Cats in Series Finale•Oct 8th, 2010

RE: Husker "Hush Tour" 2010 Starts on Thursday•Oct 6th, 2010
Gray, I have lived in Iowa most of my life and the Hawkeyes are not a threat to Nebraska. I know, I listen to 1040 AM Hawk talk. So you're not fooling anyone.
RE: Whither the Big 12?•Sep 25th, 2010
Big 12 wise my only future concern is for Iowa State. I don't see a good future for ISU in the Big 12. Most of BRN readers might not care, I do since I graduated from ISU. The Cyclones have a hard Big 12 schedule, and Ames is recovering from a …more »
RE: Print your 2010 Husker football roster•Sep 6th, 2010

RE: Can Bo Pelini Innovate the Offense?•Aug 8th, 2010

RE: The Horn Ultimatum•Jun 7th, 2010
