The Ball State Cardinals - Good For What Ails Ye!

Ah, Cornhusker Fans, if ya still be ailin' from last weekend's ass-whippin' by those Trojan boys from Southern Cal, this week we've got the perfect ointment for ye!

It's the Ball State Cardinals directly from Muncie, Indiana!

  • Their undersize defensive line is perfect for pounding the rock for a high per carry average!
  • Their passing-fancy quarterback is perfect for your hard-hitting secondary to get their licks in!
  • You'll forget that your beloved Blackshirt defense gave up the highest per carry rush average in over 100 years of football!
  • With today's blow-out scoring, you'll forget about wanting to lynch a member of the Husker coaching staff!  
  • Have two helpings (via the rewind, that is), and you might just forget how much you hate your mother-in-law. Who doesn't want more love in the world?
  • We'll be right here with ya throughout the game make sure you're happy with the product.

No returns! No guarantees!

And don't forget, it this week ain't enough, we'll be back next week with the Iowa State Cyclones!

Nebraska

is 3-0 against the Mac, never losing to a Mac conference team. Today shouldn't be any different, unless this team has decided to fold.

I don't believe that for an instant.

Nebraska

scores on it's first possesion.

Nice.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 11:48 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

58 yards

drive took 4:43.

Keller, 3-4 for 19 yards.
Lucky four rushes, 37 yards, long of 28.

I guess now we'll find out how the Blackshirts are going to do.

McKeon misses a tackle on qb Davis, he gets 12 yards.

Suh forces

a fumble.

But the offense doesn't do much with the ball.

Go Big Red!

Are you...

getting the game? I am not I have to listen to the radio as no one here can get the game. What a bunch of crap that a Nebraska company cannot give us the game.

It doesnt...

sound so impressive so far. Guess I wont feel so bad about missing it to go play in a golf tournament this afternoon.

Hey so far....

I cant say I am happy with the product.

by taflorom on Sep 22, 2007 12:23 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Well...

now its tied and this is starting to suck. How in the world is Ball State tied with us in the 2nd qt. It should be at least a 14 point lead by now. If we were to lose this game will you finally admit that this staff sucks? And no I wont admit they are good if we win because I should be able to coach NU to a win over Ball Friggen State.

by taflorom on Sep 22, 2007 12:28 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

No

I'd be willing to admit that there is something wrong with the team, but not that the staff sucks.

I won't disagree that there are some members that need to go if this keeps up.

But the fact is, it doesn't matter. Bill Callahan got a contract extension, he won't be going any time soon.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 12:42 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

No

I'm not getting the game. I had the option with Dish Network, but chose not to get it.

This is really sucking so far.

Go Big Red!

up at half

14-10

At least the offense pulled their heads up and started moving the ball to take the lead.

Sounds like there has been a lot of subs on defense, trying to find the right mix of guys.

Keller, 11-14-116 yards.
Lucky 10-64, 1 TD
Purify has only two catches.

offense - 191 for Ball State, to 187 for Nebraska. two sacks for Ball State, one for the Blackshirts.

Go Big Red!

Ball State

takes the lead, 17-14, 11:31 third quarter.

good lord.

there's going to be hell to pay if this keeps up. well, there's going to be hell to pay even if it doesn't.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 1:27 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Ball State

has 255 yards.

Obviously, we're going to have to outscore everyone from here on out. A big problem for anything big we're trying to do this season.

Go Big Red!

Sean Hill

comes through for a go-ahead score.

Now the defense needs to stop something.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 1:43 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

And they cut through us like

butter.

melted butter.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 1:48 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

to go ahead

5 plays, 80 yards, 1:44.

Blackshirts adrift.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 1:48 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Keller

at this point, 15-19-243.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 1:51 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Nate Swift

first TD of the year, 18 year reception. So we can move the ball.

Out of respect for the offense, maybe the defense could stop them? Maybe?

or maybe the offense should just start playing defense.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 1:54 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

So they score

31-28.

I have no terms for this. Melted butter has some consistency. Water?

Air? Air Nebraska should be the new name for the defense?

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:01 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

seems to me

that we should be running the ball more, keeping their offense off the field, and giving our defense time to get their crap together.

but we're not doing that, are we?

It's the 4th quarter now.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:05 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Worst thing possible

Keller interception at their five yard line.

So, now either the defense steps up or we lose.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:08 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I think

they're going to throw it to Love, maybe?

another 50 yard play for Love. Fly.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:09 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

well

38-28.

I guess maybe it's our turn to start hiding the Husker shirts, eh?

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:22 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Bo Ruud

thank god.

makes a stop to get us back into the game. Now if they can only make another one.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:23 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

37-35 Ball State

at this point.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:25 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

And Andre Jones

takes anything good that Ruud just did and threw it away.

What an absolute dumbass. Ball State at the NU 26 after the penalty.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:28 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

forced

a field goal at least.

7:05 - Ball State leading 40-35.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:34 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Purify

scores to move the Huskers ahead.

Going for two to Peterson, didn't get it.

The defense MUST win this game now.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Sep 22, 2007 2:45 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Jeez

It's like watching a dancing dog
You don't know whether to be happy that it can dance
Or be embarrassed because it doesn't do it very well

It seemed like a good idea at the time.
