Saturday Open Thread

Tebow may be playing?!? I wish someone would have let me know. (AP Photo/Ed Reinke)

Some interesting games this weekend. You may have heard that Tebow may be playing, and Bradford will be back for OU. ESPN mentioned something about that, every 5 mins.

If you watched College Game Day, I'm sorry. I had to turn it off once they showed Weis whining about not being ranked, and then had Clausen talk about the Heismen. No mention of Suh for the award.

You can watch KU take on ISU, (KU fans will tell you that ISU played Iowa which beat Penn St which means that ISU is a good test) on Versus provided your cable or satellite provider has that fly-by-night channel.

You can scout Texas Tech as they take on KSU later tonight.

Or you can count how many bud light commercials you see. (It's a Grooler!)

Blight is off with some scouts, I have the kids as the wife is at a conference so I won't be on much, but Husker Mike maybe dropping in.

What games are you watching? Who do you want to see?

I have alrady seen 2 missed extra points

Arkansas missed one, and then after ISU scores first on KU they miss the point after.

Is there a worse pregame than the FSN people? The production values look like it’s shot at 3am in a forgotten studio.

Better than having your entire cable go on the blink!

On one hand, I really hate FSN’s production quality. Their announcers and camera work are one step above public-access cable programming. On the other hand, they are virtually nationwide — unlike the Big 10/11 network.

ISU and KU cannot kick the ball.

both miss an extra point, so for ISU that’s 2, plus a muffed short range field goal.

ISU up 12-6, should be 17-7 though.

KU scores

they love to play rub plays, where they pick off a defender.

KU makes the point after for the lead

Notre Dame is pathetic....

I am repeatedly shocked at how much Notre Dame bitches and whines until they convince people to buy in to their hype. The only thing worse is the media’s hard-on for Tim Tebow.

Notre Dame could easily be a zero or one-win team….how in the hell can they expect to be rated?!!! They run around the field like they are God’s gift to football, after squeking out a win against an unranked team. Wouldn;t be so bad if people like Brent Musberger didn’t act like school girls with a crush up in the broadcast booth. Sad.

I would LOVE to put little Jimmy Clausen up against SUH to see who is more worthy of a Heisman vote. That golden-domer would be carted off the field on a stretcher. ( And of course, Musberger would tell us all how great he looks on that stretcher). Jerks.

Zac Lee gets some love from ESPN

for the player of the week promotion. Still no mention of Suh.

ISU is moving the ball all over the KU defense

And it’s @ KU!
Not real impressed with KU this season, not yet anyway.

the tiggers could beat them

Osu just seems to be deflated without bryant there

by huskermic on Oct 10, 2009 2:02 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions 0 recs

KU...

…looks like they have some nice weapons with an average o-line at best. The defense has given up 30 to ISU through 3 quarters, that is going to be a problem. ISU has had success running and throwing. I would say for them finishing at .500 in league play is going to be tough to do with that schedule with how they look today. This isn’t being a Husker homer, just being realistic because I watched ISU do nothing against Iowa.

ok i really want an opinion of everbody here

Looking at the rest of the games. I not only think we will win the big 12 north but possible bcs or bigger is a distinct possibility. Am I drinking to much kool aide? Maybe side effects of the tiggers game?

by huskermic on Oct 10, 2009 2:20 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions 0 recs

Outside of OU

we should be favored in every other game and probably be a toss up pick with OU. But I can see us dropping one we shouldn’t still if the offense doesn’t pull out of its funk against BCS schools.

by frontierhusker on Oct 10, 2009 2:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

They are the potential

Need to work on some things.
Lee obviously needs to play better. Oline could been better as well.

Hell was there college football before him?
Don’t get me wrong great player and he is fun to watch. Also respect him as a person for what he believes in.
With that being said you could not turn on the tv or radio on the national scale when they were not talking about him. Very, very, very few players have gotten this much attention as he has. Only ones that come to mind are Herschal Walker and Bo Jackson.

…if the Blackshirts keep playing at that high level… as long as the offense plays average.

Finally.

Bruce Feldman gives the big man his due credit, and mentions that Mel Kiper has him on his top 5 list for the award!

I think that was in Corn Flakes on Fri

There have been a few articles saying that Suh should be considered.

Will the University start promoting him? A thread in huskerpedia said that NU didn’t promote individuals for awards, but I think that’s BS. I’m pretty sure that NU promoted the hell out of Crouch for the Heisman, as they should.
