Nebraska Vs USC - Game Day Thread
Welcome to the Nebraska - USC Game Day Thread. You're welcome to join us for comments on today's college football action, and especially tonight's Nebraska - USC game.
If you want to see what the enemy is thinking, check out Conquest Chronicles.
TJ Simers of the LA Times has made his way across Nebraska and has discovered one trait all Nebraskans have in common:
"Across the land, I've found no one likes Steve Pederson," he said. "I've never met him, don't know anything about him. They think he's arrogant. They want him to have that smirk wiped off his face. Someone suggested plastic surgery."
Ouch!
Does the ghost of last year's game come alive in Memorial Stadium tonight?
Nebraska was so conservative, the normally reticent Carroll let slip to a booster group that he felt the game was little more than a 9-on-7 practice drill.
Our offensive line is big, strong and slow. Sounds like a cliche', doesn't it?
Here's what Griffen had to say about Nebraska's beefy offensive line, whose members average 318 pounds: "They're big and pretty slow when they come off the snap. If you just rush hard up field and just rush, rush, rush everything else will come into place for our defense."
Brandon, the Hi-Plains Drifter, gets some tips from a rental car guy and says that Nebraska will win 28-17.
Notre Dame sees one of their star recruit quarterbacks leave for Northern Illinois? After they fail to score over 10 points today against Michigan, can we dispense with the "Charlie Weis, Offensive Genius Coach", please?

early games are ending. lots of duds. even the Michigan State - Pitt game seemed pretty boring, and it wasn't a half-bad game.

BWaaa haaaa

of second series for Irish is a fumble by Clausen, Michigan recovers.

Iowa State
beats Iowa!
15-12. How long will Kirk Ferentz last there?

I have to say...
on the Steve Pederson thing. I have a lot of family and friends in Nebraska, and I don't know many people who like Pederson. A few genuinely hate him, and the rest are indifferent at best.
I heard this week there was some chatter about the new Tunnel Walk, and Pederson essentially said "It's great, people need to get over it." That's not really the way to win people over, especially in Nebraska.
Good luck tonight, by the way. I'll be watching.

yeah
I have seen the videos only, I'll be going back for Iowa State, but you're right about those things - people pick up on them.
Sad but true.
and thanks

OWH
had an article about it and Stevie said that it would not change and that he thought it was incredible and that people should just get over it and enjoy it. I have seen it on youtube and didn't really care for it and have to say if this is what he thinks is incredible then we may be in trouble as far as football is concerned.

IF there's one thing good about today
it's that if we get beat, it won't be by Central Florida, or Citadel, or Ohio, or the Buffalo Bulls.
Holy cow, there's a lot of sucking going on out there.
by corn blight on Sep 15, 2007 5:44 PM CDT 0 recs
Gotta love...
parity, baby!
Or sucking. That's an equally plausible explanation. As long as we don't see any 'parity' out of Missouri State tonight.

ok
this is what we need. a good drive and some good confindence building plays.
by taflorom on Sep 15, 2007 7:34 PM CDT 0 recs
Big play
coming up here. We need this first down and need it bad. If we dont make it can our kicker make the fieldgoal? We need points out of this drive one way or another.

ya now
it's too f'in bad we let the first series go like it did. looks liek we're settling down now.

well....
it's a mix that we haven't seen before so far. i thought we'd just run.
we're throwing well.

We
look like we are ready to play now. Maybe just nerves that first series or over hyped. Nice play to Swift.

delay of game defense.

Yes...
that first drive was just plain bad. We cant allow them to go 90+ in four plays. D is kind of shaky right now. Offense looks surprisingly good tonight. Hope they keep it up and dont have a let down.

End of qt 1...
and it is a tie game. Wow I cant believe it. I hope the d comes back a little more fired up. We need a quick stop now and a new drive for the O.

yeah yeah yeah.
wow. we have a ways to go. i was wrong about the running, but i still thik that we have to run the ball.

If we...
get a td here it will be a whole new ball game. We at least need 3 but a td and the fucking place goes nuts for the rest of the half.

man
This is beautiful. It is. Nebraskans can appreciate this stuff, man.
Only a matter of whether we can keep it up.
But we're not patsies.

Why did we run that play?
I dont like that call and I had been impressed with the play calling so far.

look at it this way
say we throw a little out, and it's picked. Cally went conservative, but he wanted a lead, I'll take it

field goal
by Henery. The guy that looks skinnier that your kids.
My neigbors are getting pissed off by trying to explain to them that Kunalic might kick hte logner ones.
by corn blight on Sep 15, 2007 8:23 PM CDT 0 recs
I sure hope...
that BC doesn't suddenly go very very conservative with us having a lead. I think we need to continue to play the way we have been.

if it's a normal fumble we get it
can't expect the ball to shoot 20 feet the other way

No
I agree but it would sure be nice to get one of those down there

it's hard to
take this injury serious - hte guy is laying on the field too long
either get the cart out there, or do something else because right now ti looks like USC is f'ing around.
by corn blight on Sep 15, 2007 8:30 PM CDT 0 recs
Yeah but...
if this is some kind of kneck injury they will not fuck around at all. Especially after the guy from the Bills injury last weekend.
