O.k. fans,

Well, I watched the Calli Show footage and again things are not as bad or as good as they seem.

I think our offense actually moved the ball very well a number of times, but just couldn't punch it in in the red zone, which was certainly uncharacteristic from the first 5 games.
I like this offense, I like watching it and they made alot of good plays. I think Lucky is becoming a very, very good back. Our first 3-4 drives we really had chances to make it a totally different game, but just didn't convert tds. Keller played very well, I thought, and only missed a few potential scoring passes early on. It happens.

Mo brought more pressure from the ends in the 2nd half which disrupted things more, but the first half they really didn't stop us that much, we stopped ourselves.

MO P. is such an impressive receiver and Sean Hill continues to shine.

Pig's hit on MO maybe wasn't as intentional as it seemed, he was just trying to make a hard hit and MO was sort of leaning and Pig was leading with his head and happened to hit MO in the head. It didn't appear like an intentional head to head.

Apart from Mo's first 2 scores, our D played better and was in good postition many times to make plays, but they just didn't, which was frustrating. There were a number of decent plays though, they didn't give up.  We've got good players.

MO also just made alot of great plays, they were ON their game, no doubt, and did a good job mixing things up. Still, I like the athletes on our team and thought they did play hard and I still feel confident they will start putting it together at some point, hopefully this week. They just have too many new guys on the field gaining experience, and MO IS an excellent offensive team. I don't think the schemes were bad, so much, we just didn't make the plays we should have. Still need a better and more consistent pass rush though and maybe used the 3-4 too much.

So, there is still hope. Okie St. is going to be similarly challenging, but if our D can just turn the corner and the O gets back in the end zone, I think we have a good chance in this game.

First off, watching the KU/KSU game and viewing KU's sideline--ala panorama--Mangino is the LAST guy there you would expect to be the head coach!  Ball boy, maybe!  I mean, he's like a big ol' stooge with his shirt all the way down to his knees; you can't help but love it!

But seriously, KU is not the 2nd best team in the conference.  They are solid and have some very good WRs, but I still think TX, TTech, Okie St., NE--yes NE!-- and maybe aTm could take 'em.  KS still has some proving to do.

CO is also too high.

You can't discount TX!  Sure, they're like on 'crazy pills' when they play KSU--Prince factor--but they looked pretty friggin' good against OU.  I think it's between them and MO for the 2nd spot right now.

And don't forget TTech!

Beating a suddenly very legit Illinois team, then shellacking an SEC team, winning all of our non-conference games easily (something Colorado has not done)?

And then! Then! After the beatdown in CoMo, the Gold Rush Gangbang, the 41-6 beatown we put on the "Blackshirts" and you still think Colorado at 4-2 is going to win the division? I'm not saying we're going to beat OU, but still! C'mon, man!

The comment by Roberinho was pretty important here. All the comments outside of Columbia have bee about the failures of the Cornhuskers. I know you're not used to it, and it's going to be hard getting used to the New Order, but did you ever think that maybe the Tigers are just that much better this year? Just this once?

I need to see Pig's hit again. Initially, I was very apologetic for the hit, over at the Rock M Nation open thread, because I didn't want to be a homer for defending it. I will say that it was a questionable hit, but all the Husker fans calling for blood need to be reasonable and realize that if that was a Husker, there would only be talk of "That a way, Blackshirts!" and "That's how Nebraska's defense should hit!"

I'm just asking for some rationality. It didn't look like he was trying to cheap shot Purify, but if he was, then yeah, it was a penalty, and he should have been ejected.
