Nebraska vs Colorado Game Day Thread

in Game Threads
Opponent: Colorado 5-6 (3-4 Big 12)
Date: Friday, November 23, 2007, 11:00 AM
Listen:Huskers Sports Network
TV: ABC
Stadium: Folsom Field, Boulder, CO (51,000)
Please use this thread to discuss the Nebraska - Colorado game and any other games you might be watching today.
- Contrary to some people's opinions, Nebraska needs to win this game. I know that some of you want it to be a loss to ensure Callahan's firing, but that's WRONG THINKING.
- It's wrong thinking because we can still get to a bowl game which means three more weeks of practice for younger players.
- It's wrong thinking because you shouldn't enjoy losing so much.
- It's wrong because we have so many good players and I don't want it to end on a loss for them.
- It's wrong because however we finish this season carries into the next one.
- It's wrong because, well, dammit, because I say it's wrong.

TD
We just came back and scored a TD on a Nice run by Ganz. Three real good plays there on that 4 play drive. A reverse to Hardy for 12, Lucky for 20/25 and then a big run by Joe.

wonder if CU goes up here whether we'll fold early.
hope not.

so we've
held them, they've held us.
is our defense looking better or does Colorado suck?

Our D is still the Pinkshirts
Ganz is starting to make BAD decisions. Forcing some passes and not taking whats available on the run.

Looks like they have some talent on the Team for next year.

WEll we got it
nice run by MO after the catch and its 28-17. Guess we haven't folded yet after all

Colorado
may fold before we do.... if they don't score on this next possession....
by corn blight on Nov 23, 2007 12:44 PM CST 0 recs
Ganz
started out really cold and didn't complete a pass until his 7th try. Didn't look sharp at all. Has since been very good. Making great passes and running well. Looks like KSU Joe right now.
by taflorom on Nov 23, 2007 12:44 PM CST 0 recs
dang it
defense needs to hold up it's end.
force a turnover on this drive.

Peterson
TD.... before half.
did he get hit badly? will he be back?
by corn blight on Nov 23, 2007 12:56 PM CST 0 recs
He
took a pretty good shot to the hip. He was down as was the guy who hit him. He could have a hip pointer which I would guess would keep him out but no offical word. At least that is a position we are fairly deep at but hope he comes back.

Ganz playing?
As long as Ganz plays the 2nd half we have a great chance of winning!

Boy was I wrong about that.
He will come back,,,with at least one good series.

Ganz blew it!
2nd Half adjustments.
Colorado played the Pass....rushed 3 most of the game and Ganz could not find the open guy and when he did...misfired...threw behind them all day.

He will
start but he has a rib injury so who knows what will happen. Its cold and that always hurts to get thing stretched out. I think he will play the whole game but if he takes another hit who knows.
by taflorom on Nov 23, 2007 1:01 PM CST 0 recs
Dont
know for sure but he left the field to go to the locker room after the last TD pass and the announcers said he had taken a hard shot to the ribs. Didn't see it and they showed no replay so dont know if it was on that play or an earlier one.

Not a bad day for him.

dammit..... interception return. that friggin' sucks.
by corn blight on Nov 23, 2007 1:30 PM CST 0 recs
sCUm
scores on an interception. this after we go to the neo-conservative offense of run,run, pass punt with a couple of delay penalties thrown in. Dam I will be glad when tomorrow comes and BC leaves, I hate this crap.

ouch
another pick.

don't be surprised if he gets retained.

DISLIKED him since the Raiders!
Tim Brown, Rich Gannon and ESPECIALLY the Defense HATED CALLAHAN while at the Raiders!!
I try to keep it in perspective...it was the Raiders!
He is not a HEAD COACH! If you can not admit problems...they will not be fixed.
He lives inside his playbook...fantasy world.

just reading some of the stuff above and who have you talked to that wants us to lose today? I haven't heard anyone say that.

insinuated
by someone.... i'm not going to name names! could get me hurt later!
but, hell.... we need to get going on defense AND offense if we expect to pull this one out.

Look better on D than the Pinkshirts. Why do they continually look lost!

because
they don't know what they're doing. so they are lost.
I don't think they've been coached much for weeks.

Coaching
or lack there of. Not practicing in full pads after the season starts is dumb. This is just plain bad coaching. You have to keep working on fundementals and we dont seem to.

I think he expects to be gone! Why else would you be playing everyone.....especially guys that don't belong on the field.
by bleach on Nov 23, 2007 2:14 PM CST 0 recs
i think so too
sometimes you wonder if he tanked this because he wants out.

Exactly what I have wondered!
Admitting their are defensive problems and/or firing your D-Coordinator is the first step in being a Head Coach.
He never acknowledged anything!!! I hope they have a list of fresh young coaches!
Stoops record at home 53-2 WOW!

the season
Hell, we can't stop them, so now they'll just run out the clock and end our season.
I guess that's probably an appropriate ending to this season.
by corn blight on Nov 23, 2007 2:31 PM CST 0 recs
another pick
that's the ball game.
maybe they'll score more than 62, and then they can hammer us with that score, in a season that doesn't matter any more.
well. disappointing.
really disappointing.
Goodbye Kevin...... just goodbye.

GO AGGIES BEAT TEXAS
I was at the Fresno State Triple OT game at the Home of the 12th Man.....nice game. A&M did not deserve to win.....home field crowd really helped that day.
To think that same team went to Lincoln and kicked the crap out of the HUSKERS.
I am so tired of making excuses for Players and Coaches. COMPETE!
They all have to go...some of the players have to go....the COACHES have to go.
I have to go to the Liqour Store!

Goodbye Bill
Goodbye Bill Callahan and the rest of your terrible staff. Thank you for trying to ruin huskerfootball. Its time for you to go. Thank god. I pray that you rot in hell with you good buddy peterson. Take off you husker hat and please leave. thanks.
by HuskerSnyd on Nov 23, 2007 2:52 PM CST 0 recs
Well
I didn't even get pissed off at this one. I guess I just dont care like I used too or I have come to get used to this staff letting me down and there is no reason to be mad anymore. If BC is retained for some idiotic reason then I will probably become very irrate again and yell and scream like never before. Its been good talking with you all but now that basketball season has started I am sure that I will not be posting as much (a good thing for some I'm sure) so hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and have a great off season.
