Texas wins - the Pain
Well, pooh, amongst other things.
Colt McCoy - what a great game - the guy clearly isn't Chris Simms.
Let your pain out here. When I was a younger man, I'd have probably gone out and destroyed a windshield with my fist. Now that I'm older.... well... I have children to teach that violence is not good and that you should always be in control.
Stinky butts.

AAAARGH!
A few thoughts:
- that's the loudest I've ever heard Memorial Stadium. It was actually shaking.
- The student section was the wildest and most into the game I've seen in a long time. We lived and died on every play.
- Terrence Nunn... wtf. He had the 1st down, he should have slid down. But then again, Callahan shouldn't have passed on 3rd and 2.
- That snow gave the huskers' last scoring drive an absolutely magical aura.
- and how about those sneaky play calls by Callahan? Reverses, Lucky's pass?
- If Maurice Purify can remember how to run his route, he'll be very, very good.
- YAC was huge today.
- The Blackshirt line did a great job of stopping the run, but failed to get any kind of penetration, again.
- Octavien looked good, Bo Ruud looked mediocre, and Jay Moore played like a man possessed on short yardage downs.
- I hate to see Grixby cover a man on a long route down the sideline, but he's great at breaking up passes when there's a short field, and in the end zone. I miss Bowman, though.
- when will Cosgrove learn to stop calling a safety blitz three times in a row, and giving up 10 yard passes on each one? when we don't get penetration, and the safeties blitz, so the corners have to play 10 yards off to not give up the big play, the opponent can just fire off 10 yard completions all day.
- what a time for Texas' kicker to remember how to put one through the uprights...
- again, that was the best atmosphere at a game I can recall. that HAD to have made a great impression on the recruits watching the game.
- Memorial Stadium was deathly quiet as people filed out. Outside, in the crowds, no one spoke. It was kind of creepy...
- look, yea, it sucks that we lost, especially after we were so close to pulling it off. But isn't this still much better than the past few years, especialy the 7-7 disaster? Nebraska is well on it's way to being "back". We're almost there, in fact.

Nunn and the pass
On the D side, I thought Octavien looked very good and that Ruud looked good also, had several open field tackles and a pass break-up. Moore looked good on short yardage plays.
The only real questions I have are: why wait until there is only 30 seconds left to start calling timeouts? They were inside the 15 with a minute left and even if they miss the field goal they had no timeouts to stop the clock so we could have taken a knee to run out the clock. Letting run down we had very little time to do anything after the made fieldgoal. What was with the lateral on the kickoff return. With the new rule of the clock starting on the kick we just needed to get the ball up the field. It cost us several seconds and about 8 yards. Why not let Congdon try the field goal. Yes it would have been from 57 yards but I remember when he was recruited it was reported that he had kicked one of like 52 and he had the wind at his back. The hail mary very seldom works.
I thought we had good game plans on both sides of the ball yesterday and was pleased until the last minute of the game.

Great game
For Texas, I was confused why we took the wind in the third quarter and then played like we didn't have the win, and did have a 20 point lead. Made no sense, and kudos to y'all for taking advantage.
Hope to see you in KC
