PrintHad to go to a conference in Southern California last weekend (yeah that sucks) and drove by Corona California. In my effort to get a picture to post for no reason other than maybe a nod to Martinez I missed my exit. Also during the trip we stopped into the Hooters in Long Beach (had to meet someone there, I hate going there, the foods horrible, and I can't stand watching people think that the girls "really like them") is a Husker themed location, so it wasn't all bad (just the food).
Not much to report in this Corn Flakes, Nebraska needs to stay focused and keep playing at the level they are capable of to win the Big 12 North.
Let's start where we left off last time-
(College Football) 2010 - Missouri @ Nebraska (via MatcoSports)
Now lets look ahead
Scout.com: 2010 Big 12 Fearless Picks - Nov. 6, BU-Ok St
What Will Happen: Iowa State will run well for about two drives, and then the Nebraska floodgates will open. Two home runs for touchdowns will change things in a hurry as the Cyclones will try to start passing, but with no success. The Huskers won’t roll in a blowout, but they’ll be comfortable.
A Paper Win For Nebraska? Not So Fast - Clone Chronicles
Stats are for nerds, they can be used to prove anything remotely true. Look last year it took 8 turnovers, several unforced, and last year's offense for ISU to win. No way ISU wins keeps it close this year without significant help from Nebraska.
Practice report: Taylor Martinez a 'game-time decision'
Dennard has not been ruled out, not that any coach would tell another team anything if they knew anything.
How to Deal With Nebraska Fans
Better Off Red had a post about this but removed it. Anyway it seems like a guaranteed way to boost traffic is to take jabs at NU fans (Just ask TB at BOTC) but unlike TB's work this is poorly written, and just not funny. STD's for all!

Go to this thread and look at the "art work" that Texas has. Then go to pages 11 and 12 to see LSUfreek's work. You'll laugh and laugh hard.

I feel bad for ISU...
The top 10 crowds at their stadium only include 3 teams; Northern Iowa, Iowa, and Nebraska. Their fans may not miss us but their athletic department will.

LOL
How much extra $ do you believe Nebraska is bringing in compared to the additional conference game ISU plays? I’m fairly confident that the margins on it are offset by getting a bigger piece of the revenue pie with NU and CU leaving…
That's assuming that Beebe actually comes through with his promise
of more TV money with less teams…
Oh well, Nebraska will still be making more in the Big 10.

Promise or not
Next year the Big 12 pot is divided among 10 teams instead of 12. The current TV deals and revenue structure is locked in a constant amount. ESPN and Fox aren’t reducing the TV deals by 1/6
As far as making more in the Big 10, that’s true. But something that is going to annoy the fanbase, is the amount you make = amount the Northwesterns and Indianas make from TV also… It’s hard to win a conference when the differentiating factor in a programs success is leveled. Not saying Nebraska will do poorly, but its hard to flat out dominate in that conference.

That point
will be moot when Texas has their own network and/or leaves the conference in a few years anyway. Good luck with that.

Screw ISU
Sure, they are the little, uglier brother with a general lack of talent in anything, always trying to tag along, and most people tend to let them.
From reading the “How to deal with a Husker fan” (and yes, I left my mark in the comments section), I have come to a conclusion… That’s all they have. They can’t attack the program, for obvious reasons. So, why not. Attack the fans. Attack something so subjective, that really, nobody could argue.
The more and more I see the anti-Husker rhetoric, the more I love it.
lol
WRNL is one thing, but it definitley isn’t serious. Getting all pissy and saying something in the comments is what they want…..

I'm really just surprised there is enough interest for two ISU sites?

I'm worried that you aren't going to the Texas Site
Look at this!
So much more…

JLew:
I went to the Texas site, spent a good 20 minutes there, and am still laughing my hiney off! Those “statues” are absolutely hideous, but how they’ve photo-shopped them is genius.
Don't you wish
we could take credit for that gawd-awful collection of “art work”, and name it “The Huskers Final Revenge: Our Parting Gift To The Longhorns”?!!!!!!!
Short answer, Yes!
I think all of us here at CN should pitch in and make a “nice” little sculpture ourselves, and ship it to the University. ; ) I’m in if anyone else is.
