Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!
Corn Nation!
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'm getting there
i remember talking to another Minnesota alum – who said he got physically ill every time we lost.
I hope he’s over that.

Been
along day. Had to take oldest son to doc in Kearney this a.m. He dislocated his knee and fractured his knee cap tues playing fb and so we had to go see the surgeons to make sure he hadn’t done more. No surgery for right know and hopefully wont have to.
Got back at 3 and have been fixing stuff ever since. Including supper.
ouch
fb season’s done, eh?
how is MVHS doing?

Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!

so
you think we have a shot?
i mean, really, after all the spewing and huffing and puffing, can we beat missouri?
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!
Corn Nation!
Yeah
I honestly do. Just because I dont think they have near the defense we saw last week and as poorly as we played at the end we had a chance to win. My prediction is 42-36.
Also
reading the paper (owh) the coaches and players are excited about this game. They have been talking with a lot of confidence but not trash talking. I have a good feeling about tonight.
hahahahah
Auburn QB fell down in bounds.

That
would be awesome if Pete Carroll and the greatest USC team of all time lost their second straight game to a team from the state of Oregon.
Slauson and Murtha

you
missed two good defensive plays, then a huge TD pass by Daniel to Maclin.
one missed tackle, blockers in front of him, no one to catch him.

to admit, no matter what, you can’t get a clean shot on Daniel.
their offense is very very very good.

too bad they didn’t get a get shot on Daniel.
nice non-call on holding there.

great coverage downfield
you almost kept us from scoring on that drive. By the way, if we run that bubble screen again, you guys will take it to the house.

baby steps
we got a stop.
next time, we get a three and out.
then we roll. :)

crap, punting time though.

Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!

These
guys weren’t recruited to run block they were recruited to pass block and most spent the last 3-4 years workning on that and that only. Cant change that over night. Takes time.
we
aren’t getting a pass rush from our front four.
sometimes we’re dropping one of them, but they’re not getting tit done.
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!

yeah
offense is still lacking that consistency they need.
but like you said…. about coaching. man, BC really screwed these guys up.

By the way
I think Castille is gonna be a great pro. I know he’s gotten lost with all your coaching changes, but his tangibles are terrific.

Good drive going here
and you get the ball at the half.
Mizzou: Not desperately hanging on to a bygone winning tradition since 1900.
true
I think we could probably continue to throw the ball on you.
but… that would just lead to a massive score on your part.
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!
Corn Nation!
Hey
we are still playing and that is more then we have done in 4 years. Yeah we are losing bad but we aren’t quitting.
shit
Joe jittery.
Dammit!
I’m surprised that Ganz hasn’t scrambled up the field more. He could have potentially run that in instead of a bad throw to Lucky.

nothing else, Woffort has missed a Big 12 kick!!!!
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!

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.

Which you guys will catch up on quickly. And this game is NOT over.

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.

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.

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
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
omg
Chase Daniel and Warren Buffet?
That Buffet guy… socialist, traitor. ArggggghHHHHHHH!
