I was talking..
to some guys at work and we were remember back when....these two teams would meet, at the start of the season one of them would be expected to be good (top 10 ranked) and the other? well most sports writers would be saying things like " well look for them to be improved and if they get some breaks who knows." By the time the game rolled around one would be undefeated and highly ranked, the other would be struggling and be around .500. My how things have changed.
Well everything I have on today is red except for my socks but they still say Huskers on them. Wow who ever thought beating KU would be an upset.

we
force three and out.
and then Prince Akmurakasa blocked the punt.

Shit...
he over ran the block or it would have been a TD.

Castille
on the goal line?
Lucky dances too damned much

starts well!
Cool..... nice drive. Missed a TD pass, but that's okay

TD Kansas
should we take it that we're not going to blitz like we did last week against Texas?
Seems to me that Cosgrove runs a defense and that's it. No changes, nothing different.

What I hate the most
is that we have talent and this will be the second time in 4 years that BC and crew have wasted it.

WOW
Kansas apparently forgets Lucky out of the backfield on 3rd and 2!
How can KU be that stupid!

it was a pick play. oh well. got away with that.

14 points on 2 possessions!
Hope this ain't another Texas game?
GBR!

defense
we don't get after the ball, and Cosgrove really hasn't a clue as how to defend the option.
obviously we're going to have to keep scoring throughout the whole game.

Nice
defense. Good god can it get any worse? Wonder if TO needs anymore time to evaluate. This is bad when you cant stop KU
by taflorom on Nov 3, 2007 12:25 PM CDT 0 recs
Bad when you can't stop KU?
KU is unstoppable this year on offense!
Hey, this might be the only chance any of us KU fans get to talk trash during a KU-NU football game. You can't blame me for popping in.
While I do not love the Huskers, I shared in your joy when Pederson was given his walking papers. I really disliked that guy.

we
should at least be competitive.
our defense lacks any emotion. not much effort. really hard to watch.
If by some bizarre twist of you see Cosgrove back at Nebraska next season, I personally will light the torches and lead the riot.

pass to Purify.
Get a stop from the defense, and we can get back in this thing.

Umm...Billy???
Your defense is getting shredded... Your quarterback is making his first career start and hasn't seen much playing time since high schoo. How about trying to run the ball a little (or at least pretend to..)???
by Husker Mike on Nov 3, 2007 1:04 PM CDT 0 recs
KU has
apparently decided to slow the game down on the ground.
I'm sure that Billy would respond by saying we had to throw all the time to get back in the game.

KU 42 points in the first half!
KU has a great offense this year. Nebraska is not the first team the Jayhawks have moved the ball at will against. I did not expect a score like this, but this is not just a factor of the Husker defense.
What is just amazing, I honestly think KU has about a 1 in 15 shot at playing in the national championship game this year. Magical year in Lawrence.

offense
you guys do have a good offense, but be honest. Our defense is barely making an effort to be on the field.
Seriously, look at this game. We have no fire. we have no life on defense.

Bill Callahan can sit through the rest of this season along with the rest of us.
He can allow us to enjoy the next three weeks of his existence with us. :)

Shanked Extra Point...

I wish...
I lived in Lincoln. I would rent two Ryder trucks and park one in front of BCs house and the other in front of Cozs. Then leave notes that said " Have a nice life, the trucks are on us." Good-Bye, Tom.
What a joke. 48 points to KU in the first half.
by taflorom on Nov 3, 2007 1:35 PM CDT 0 recs
48-24 half.
There are no words to describe how absolutely bad the D is. I cannot identify with this team. PLEASE FIRE COZ at half. I'd say I can't take it anymore, but I'm past that phase; I don't know what to call the phase I'm in now....
by Ze Robertinho on Nov 3, 2007 1:42 PM CDT 0 recs
Send the house...
...it's the only thing that this defense has been able to succeed at since the Nevada game. Blitz 11. We might get a few sacks and stops. And if they score...well, they were going to score anyway.

at least
every one of his defensive players can understand "blitz".
You get the idea that the D doesn't really know what they're supposed to be doing, and that Kevin Cosgrove isn't bothering to make an effort anymore.

At the half....
48-24.
Oh, hell. Pretty tough to watch, although you have to admit that Joe Ganz has looked pretty decent in his first start.
That's at least some good news. We're seeing a lot of Lucky.... haven't seen a lot of Helu and/or Castille, but then Billy C can't involve them in the offense if all he's going to do is throw the ball.
Can't use the excuse that he was throwing all the time because we were so far behind when he kicks at field goal at the end of the half. Well... I guess he can, but not with much credbility.
by corn blight on Nov 3, 2007 1:43 PM CDT 0 recs
He lost his credibility...
...many weeks ago, about the time he started talking about the "excellent job" he was doing at Nebraska.

catch by Purify. Nice throw by Ganz.

At this point
Joe Ganz has 339 yards passing.
Maybe if he keeps this up he gets the single game passing record?
by corn blight on Nov 3, 2007 2:10 PM CDT 0 recs
doubtful
since KU is going to run the ball a lot, shorten the game, and get out with a win.
They fear us coming back with the passing game. You know they do.

hey
this Joe Ganz dude is playing well.
he's made good decisions, moving the ball around.
good stuff.
345 yards at 7:37 left in the third.

Not a good pass...
...overthrown into double coverage, and picked off...
But on the positive sign, Carl Nicks had the best tackle of the day. Maybe he could finish the season as defensive coordinator.

so much for that.
Carl Nicks should be playing defense.
at least he threw down the interceptor with authority.

I
really think that we should come up with nicknames for Bill Callahan and Kevin Cosgrove.....
Nicknames to the point that they won't ever escape them.

and i want it to be something that my son call yell at Cosgrove next year if he's a coach for the Vikings.
plus, at some point that's every coach's nick name

Kansas
is now one point away from scoring the most points ever on Nebraska.
Previous was Texas Tech, we all remember that game, 70-10, Callahan's first year.

to KU. What a joke. Bill and Kevin should be fired tomorrow. TO should just come out, give a press conference and say "I made a mistake by saying I would not fire any coaches before the end of the season. After yesterdays performance Bill and Kevin have no place in Husker athletics and will no longer be coaching Husker football." No one would hold it against him. This is a very very unfunny joke.

Here is
Tom Osbornes email address. I think everyone should email him and ask him to fire these jackasses tomorrow morning. Quit waiting until the end of the season. How many will KSU and CU put up on us? They wont call off the dogs like Mangino did. Good thing he has a little class or he could have hung 100 on us.
