Even the cats are practicing hard.
Pelini says Huskers will 'rise up'
They need to respond well. I think they will, as they have in the past.
Monday football practice notes
Update on Lee's hand, and the mood on Monday's practice.
Henery Awarded with Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week
Junior placekicker Alex Henery has earned Nebraska's first conference award of the season as he was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week following his five field-goal performance at Virginia Tech.
I blame him a little for the loss. I'm sure that NU could have gotten 4 points for a field goal, if he called his shot and bounced it off the uprights or something.
Shatel: Bo fans flames evading question
As expected, the e-mails from readers runneth over. Several were critical of Bo Pelini blowing off a question after Saturday's loss at Virginia Tech by saying, "You saw it. It was obvious.'' That's good. Fans don't usually care if the media gets its question answered, but I've always felt that they should. If the coach shuns the question, he is, in effect, shunning the fans. Pelini is an emotional guy after games and he doesn't crave press conferences, but they're part of the job. He's the CEO and voice of the program. People have the right to want the head coach to answer to what happened in a game and explain his and the team's actions, good or bad. Besides, Bo, never assume that anything is obvious to the media.
You know - I agree with Tom Shatel here. Pelini should be answering questions and not be such an ass about it. OTOH, maybe it's better if we just make stuff up. Like that Zac Lee Broken Hand thing. - CB
Celebrating the fans: Jim Denney, 295 games
Wow. Some 84-year old dude has been to 295 games. That's a lot of games. I'm going to have to live a long time to catch up with that.... like maybe 300 or 400 years. - CB

Are these the rally cats?
I dunno, I’ll have to find another internet meme.
You can't possibly be a scientist if you mind people thinking that you're a fool.

Absolutely love the comments from the team
That’s precisely what I was hoping to hear from them and it sounds like they’ve got the right mindset for the rest of the year
Also, a take on Bo
There was a lot of Bo talk on Schick & Nick this morning, basically in the same vein as the Shatel piece. I agree with it too. Bo can be fiery and passionate without being condescending or difficult.
The one thing I do like is his willingness to accept blame for losses, which is a nice refresher from the last guy. And I think we should keep in mind that Bo’s only in his second year, and he’s still a fairly young coach. Let’s give him some time to develop his control. Others have.
Regarding Shatel and the rest of the media...
Shatel needs a large can of STFU.
The media is not 100% evil, but damn close. I realize not every beat reporter or blogger has bad intentions, but do you guys understand the $hit you stir up with your worthless opinons??? SHATEL, DO YOU HEAR ME? The intarweb has afforded many an opportunity to say what you will, myself included, but this crap spewing forth from so called know-it-alls, it’s got to end.
I may post more about this later...
…but while Shatel has a small point, he needs to remember “it’s not about you”. Talking to the media is part of the job, true, but it’s not his primary job.
Awesome!
I’m glad I picked this game to buy tickets for my sister and her husband. They will be at a game that will be part of history. That is awesome!
In the meantime, I’ll be sitting here at the house doing absolutely nothing but listening to the game I’m sure. Why didn’t I buy myself a ticket? :(
