No

I am not nervous but then I am neither coaching (well its not basketball season) nor am I playing. Just a fan watching the game and so I really have no reason to be nervous. Hoping the Lasagna gets done so I can eat before not during the game.

i remember talking to another Minnesota alum – who said he got physically ill every time we lost.

First half

has shown that we cannot run the ball at all, and ta is right, Ganz tries to do too much.

I’m really surprised that our line isn’t more physical and agressive than they are. This concept about not being able to run block – I can understand that they may not have been coached well – but part of that is mentality. They’re just not physical enough – I find it hard to believe that linemen wouldn’t want to kill a defensive lineman.

Yes

I agree but it also has to do with fundementals and techniques and we dont know those that well.

that may

be true in some areas… but I don’t think it’s true on the line. I think we just got screwed up in the last few years, mentally and physically.

but, i would have thought the line would have overcome it by now.

we saw Mike Huff get replaced by a younger guy as a starter this week. And we are seeing A LOT of younger guys on the field. they’re still trying to find players – i don’t mean bodies – but guys that will PLAY football.

New Goal

I think the team should strive to just make Bo smile this year. Every time the camera’s on him he’s either scowling or screaming.

illegal touch

Holt went out and came back in bounds and was first to touch the ball.

yeah

I don’t think we had a choice there.

that’s the match up problem. If you look at depth on our defense….. we had no secondary experience for running a defense against the spread this season.

you know

when that play started, there were three of our guys watching one of your recivers…..

that’s why you saw Pelini getting in the face of our safety.

we have a ways to go.

have some relatives here…. ah… some of our guys don’t understand this defense yet. nebraska is a small state – population-wise – everyone knows someone else.

by Ridiculous Matt on Oct 4, 2008 11:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

I read your article saying how mizzou should maybe be your rival

but I’ll have to admit that I was a little pissed that CU wasn’t mentioned once in your 1000 word essay on NU’s rivals. Come on… I wanted to post something nasty but I restrained myself. At least a lot of NU fans responded that they thought that CU was NU’s main rival

by nebraskasux on Oct 4, 2008 11:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

it

isn’t CU week. :)

plus to be completely honest, I wanted to see what the reaction was to the idea. here’s the thing – I’ve been writing for a long time. sometimes you write an article to get a response, and sometimes you write an article to learn the truth because while you’re writing it you’re asking yourself questions and trying to find the answer.

And in this case, I was doing more of the “get a response” thing than “finding an answer”, but every writer knows (at least those that have been around for a while) that articles take on a life beyond what you intended after you write it.

That’s the long way of saying – I was surprised by that reaction too. I don’t think of CU as a rival, maybe I should. We’ll see what happens come the end of November.

Every week is NU week as far as I'm concerned :-)

okay, thats cool, I know that you guys have dominated us over the years, but I saw someone say as reponse to your article that CSU is CU’s rival. Well, that is similar to how a lot of you guys feel about us, a lot of CU fans say “CSU isn’t our rival, we’ve dominated them, they suck” as we have a better record against them then you do against us, but that doesn’t mean I don’t consider them a rival. If you look back in the 90’s we were #2 in the Big 8/Big 12 north to you guys and we’ve had a bit of an anvantage this century. If you don’t consider us a rival, fine, but I sure as hell do. But… besides OU (which is hard for me to consider your rival because you don’t play them every year anymore) I don’t see anybody in the Big 12 north that I would consider a rival besides CU
