  I truly believe that Frank Solich is the kind of man
that wants NU to win every game.  If he wants any
payback, it would be directed towards the people that
let him go (because of the way it was handled).  He is
an alum, former Husker player, and spent most of his
adult life attached to the program.  He recruited a
lot of these players.  I doubt he would get any
satisfaction in seeing them lose.  That is the kind of
class he has displayed his entire life and I see no
reason for that to change. 
  Saying that, I think he would get satisfaction out
of seeing Petersen fail and get fired.  I don't blame
him if he does.  
  I never joined the argument about Solich getting
fired because I understand both sides and I really
liked the kind of man Solich is and what he brought to
the U.  
  I hope that Coach Solich wins a lot of games at
Ohio.  My loyalty is with the Huskers, no matter who
is coaching and I will support the team, staff, and
the U. no matter what.

I thought I heard last week that Correl Buckhalter
once again is out for the season with a knee injury
but haven't seen anything since.

Last time the streak was in danger (in the 80s as I recall) some
businesses bought up the tickets to keep the streak alive.  Will
something like that happen now or do people think it is a hopeless cause
(with our success on the field being in question).

It would not surprise me at all if it does end. Last season's opener was 
also against a Division 1-AA foe, but as it was HCBC's first game, there was 
a lot of interest. Taking into consideration last season's record, the 
availability of season tickets, and it not being a "name" opponent, the 
demand may not be what it was in years past. A bunch of other streaks have 
gone by the wayside the past several years, this may be the next one. The 
only other one left that I can think of off the top of my head is the win 
streak against KU.

Good Afternoon All:

I really don't think we need to worry about the sellout string going by the wayside this weekend. I believe these tickets are tickets that were returned from the visitor's allocation, which if not sold do not affect the sellout string. 

The Big XII mandates that 4,000 tickets go to the visiting team (if they are conference opponents) and the amount is negotiable for non-conference games but in no case is it more than 4,000. Many visitors to Lincoln take 4,000 tickets but there are some who only take 2,500 or so. Whatever tickets they take, I believe, are taken on a guarantee basis, meaning they must sell them or pay NU for the seats. Since NU regularly sells out though teams have never had to worry about covering their shortfall as any tickets they returned to NU were sold anyway. 

Now as for what happens next year I'm not sure because right now 6,000 more seats is looking like more than they need to satisfy demand, especially if tickets are still available at this late date for a game to be played in 48 hours.

Given the general consensus that most listers would like to see Frank do well at Ohio, I wonder if a similiar sentiment exists for Joe Dailey at North Carolina.  

Are some of you rooting for him to do well at UNC?

Where is he on their depth chart anyway???

There were games in the early 1990s that sold out in this fashion.
Fans were not as enthusiastic about those 9-3 and 10-2 teams.

I'd save the money and/or send it to the Red Cross. Like Gary Fead says, 
the game will still be a sell out either way.

I'm starting to get a real positive vibe that the
coaching staff are starting to reverse the chemistry
problems that torpedoed the team in 2004. It was
announced today that, by vote of the team, the Friday
pre-game movie is back and the head coach himself will
attend.

The Terrell Spain saga continues:  "Any day now"...

And on ESPN2, we're seeing why Steve Pederson broke
off negotiations with Houston and ESPN.  The Cougars
are leading Oregon midway through the 3rd quarter. 
(The ESPN announcers couldn't resist giving the
Huskers a dig for ducking the Cougars...)

I don't think that anyone has paid much attention to the new coach
at Ohio being Frank Solich.

Most of the talk has been about the NU defense, which was thin to start
with and has suffered 2 major losses due to injuries.

NU should be able to score against Ohio, the question is whether Ohio 
can keep pace.  They weren't a very good team last year, and I don't 
know how quickly Frank will be able to build his kind of team (whatever 
that is) there.  I guess we'll start finding out in about 36 hours.

Hello Mike and others,
The word here at Ohio is excitement and patience.  Generally speaking, 
everyone is excited as heck about the new coaching staff.  Word from the 
players is that the program is being run with a 100% more 
professionalism when compared with the previous staff.  So, in the 
medium term, expectations are for a solid turnaround.  But, everyone 
knows that the turnaround will be tough.  The number of Frosh on the 
two-deep roster is pretty amazing.  Apparently the previous staff did 
not leave the new staff with much talent (I fully understand the irony 
in that claim). 

In terms of our non-conference schedule, we have a brutal time.  NU, 
then PITT, and then Va Tech.  Of those games, no one is talking with 
much optimism about NU and PITT (the fans, that is).  Both games are 
viewed as yardstick games--how close are we to those teams, but no real 
talk of upsets.  The PITT game is the one generating cautious optimism.  
Pitt comes off a game with Notre Dame and will be looking ahead to the 
'Huskers.  The Pitt game is here, students will be back, and Peden 
stadium is expected to set an attendance record with 500 new season 
tickets sold already.  Those who have talked with Frank "behind the 
scenes" (i.e., various administrators on campus) get the impression that 
Frank wants to get through the non-conference schedule without injury or 
psychological setbacks and then compete in the MAC.

Can Ohio keep pace?  Word about practices is very subdued.  Not a single 
practice has been open.  There is rumor that our offensive line (a real 
problem for last year's team) is much better, but the yardstick for 
comparison is pretty short.  Our QB is decent and we have a good RB.  I 
am excited for the season and would love to come out of Evanston with a 
win (sorry Mike!), but in terms of the non-conference schedule 
everyone's dream is to beat Pitt because that would energize local fans 
who have tended to show up to games only to see our awesome marching band.

My friend who has Direct TV told me that he called to pay the 30 bucks for  
the game and they told him since he already had the ESPN gameplan package the  
PPV Maine-Nebraska game would be no charge. So, if you have the gameplan 
package  you will not have to pay the PPV cost.
 
As noted, it is on channel 786.

Good Morning All:

Something needs to be cleared up here--

The Nebraska/Maine game is not part of the ESPN PPV package (known as GamePlan), you must pay separately for the NU/Maine game. 

The NU/Maine game is being produced by Fox Sports Net which has nothing to do with ESPN or ESPN GamePlan. 

I've seen this more than once in the past week that the NU/Maine game is part of ESPN PPV and I'm not sure where this is coming from but it is not accurate.

If my cable guide is correct (I give that about a 50-50 chance most of the
time), there will also be a replay of the Maine game at 2AM on Monday 
on Channel 37 (Fox Sports Net) on Lincoln Time-Warner Cable.

My experience has been that it takes a while each season for the new
employees at both the satellite and the cable companies to get up to speed 
on things like this.  They're still misinformed and almost always

I just got off the phone with DirecTV.  Again, they are sticking with 
the story of the NU vs Maine game being part of the ESPN Gameplan in 
"your area", I'm in Florida.  To test the system, I'm ordering Gameplan 
for the day ($19.99) and will see if the NU game is indeed included.

FYI, the "info" header on DirecTV for channel 786 reads as follows:
"Maine at Nebraska" Sports, Football, ESPN GamePlan:.............

Four times with a 1st and goal and come away with nine points.  The one 
TD was only after a favorable fumble call and then the PAT was missed.  
The final series featured a 1st and goal at the two, three pass plays, 
the last resulting in an interception.  This is Maine, if the coaches 
aren't confident in the ability of the team to punch it in from the 
two...  I don't know, the running game does look weak to me, no O'line

Good news:
o No penalties.
o Offensive "pacing" seems to be much improved from last year. 
Listening to the Webcast, it seemed like Jim Rose barely had time
between plays to pontificate before the next snap.  Seems like the
coaches are more in sync this year with respect to playcalling
o Some lost opportunities (dropped passes, turnovers on punts, missed
PAT) are silly, first-game errors that probably won't happen with a
little more game-speed experience.
o Surpassed last year's punt return total in a single game.  Nunn and
Grixby both had a great game, though their production tailed off as
the game went on, probably due to punt coverage adjustments by Maine.
o Blackshirts broke the single-game sack record with 13 (?)
o RUUUUUUUUUD!  8^)

Not-so-good news
o Running game was nonexistent, at least until Lucky came in.  That's
a function of the offensive line more than the runner.
o Didn't capitalize on exceptionally good field position ... mostly
due to the silly things.
o Octavien - sounds like he may be hurt for at least a few games, but
Bo Ruud seems like he can handle things in Steve's absence ...

Pitt is getting punked badly by (unranked) Notre Dame 42-13 in the
3rd, and it looks like Oklahoma may even be beatable this year ... 8^)

I watched on PPV and would add that most of the offensive problems 
(except Ross's two fumbles) were the result of poor O-line play.  The 
backs were getting initial contact while still in the backfield and 
Taylor was pressured on his two interceptions as well as most of the 
pass attempts later in the game.  Lets hope the O-line was just out of 
sync tonight, otherwise it could be a long season.  Frantz Hardy looked 
like a goto receiver and special teams were much improved.  Octavien, it 
is being reported, has a broken leg and could miss the season.

I'm typically a very optimistic "Husker Goggles" kinda guy.  But the
people on this list either didn't watch the game, or they are more
optimistic than I.

I would grade this game as a D+.  Mostly negatives with just a few
positives.

Negatives:

1) TURNOVERS!!!  HOLY CRAP!!!  Didn't we just go through this?

2) Offensive line was anything but offensive. :)

3) Just like Joe Dailey last year Zac Taylor was great the first half
and horrible the second.

4) Did I say TURNOVERS!!!!!!

5) 25-7 vs an average Div 1aa opponent?  Are we that bad that this is
a good score?

6) The playcalling seemed weird.  I'm willing to chalk this up to
Callahan 'feeling out' his players, but we'd have a possession with
nothing but rushes and the next possession would be nothing but
passes.  It didn't seem so much that he was 'mixing it up' as much as
'For this drive I'll try....'

7) At least we didn't turn the ball...  Oh wait TURNOVERS!!!

8) Red zone offense?  Can't punch it in against a weak Div 1AA
opponent?

9) We didn't seem to have much depth @ corner, because as soon as our
#1 guy went down, BAM LONG touchdown pass.

10) U guessed it, turnovers.

POSITIVE!!!!!

1) I coulda sworn we had a return game tonight!  Wow!  As someone
mentioned, we had 10 more return yards tonight than all of last
season.

2) I-Backs look good when not fumbling

3) Zac Taylor + Frantz Hardy = Good thing

4) D-Fense!!!  They played great sans a play mentioned in #9 above

5) 11 Sacks!!!  WOW!  Even against a patsy, that's good.

6) Octavian sure seemed to be the real deal and is part of a very good
and very deep linebacker core.  Let's hope he's healthy soon.

7) Bo Ruud might be All-American if Octavien is out too long.

8) Good D-line movement

9) Hit our TE's a little bit tonight, that was nice to see

10) Nice punting by Koch again :)

Maybe it was only a C- I guess.....

I believe the D+ score confirms your optimism. Considering the team we were
playing, I saw no improvement from last year, with the possible exception of
the defense. But then they eventually gave up last year after getting tired
of no offensive production and turnovers. 15 of 35 passing against Maine? A
nonexistant running attack? Play calling that was questionable at best?

This game should have left us wondering if the extent of the blowout was
really as impressive as it seemed. Instead, we were in it to nearly the end.

Looks like a long year to me.

I wouldn't get too worried just yet- look at some other teams' results  
today...
 
OSU 15 Montana St. 10
Montana State? At least I've heard of Maine.
 
Tennessee 17 UAB 10 (at Tennessee)
 
Penn State 23 South Florida 13
And all the high hopes in Happy Valley this year.
 
Auburn, A&M and of course Oklahoma all losing- the Big 12 certainly  looked 
vulnerable today, that's for sure. Iowa State and Kansas didn't exactly  wallop 
their unheard-of opponents either. I chalk the Maine game up to opening  game 
jitters, although things certainly could have been much worse for Maine  
without the turnovers. Of course, Maine was only a score and 2 pointer away from  
the biggest embarrassment ever in Lincoln. Even though Wake Forest is not USC, 
 next week will tell us much more about this team, believe me. I believe OU's 
 season was crushed today more than people realize. They had some glaring  
weaknesses exposed against a very beatable TCU squad. Colorado had to come back  
and get a FG at the end to win their game, which does not surprise me as 
lucky  as they've been in the last 10-15 years. And Notre Dame is not 21 points 
better  than Pitt- I would be VERY worried about the Panthers if I were Bill  
Callahan & co. Regardless, Nebraska is atop the Big 12 North.

Difficulty scoring in the red zone is a problem ascribed to the West
Coast offense.  I hope that NU will develop a better running game than
they showed in this game.  First and goal from the two and they call
three straight pass plays?

Yes, with the results yesterday, what has looked like a pretty favorable
schedule, looks even easier.  Given NU's performance yesterday, a soft
schedule isn't a bad thing.  No game looks even remotely unwinnable and
Texas Tech in Lincoln may be NU's toughest game.

I believe he would need to petition the NCAA for a medical hardship to 
regain the year of eligibility he spent last night.  Does anyone know 
the requirements for a favorable medical hardship ruling?

He would seem to be in a good situation, according to:
http://www.techsideline.com/football/medicalredshirt.html

He participated in fewer than 20% of this year's games, and all
participation occurred in the first half of the season.  What I don't
know is if the medical hardship waiver is automatically granted or
not.

I listened to the Husker radio broadcast on Huskers.com. It had been a
few years since I've listened. Jim Rose seems to feel he earns his
salary based upon the number of words he puts forth. He wouldn't let his

I think he may be on to something.  
 
The line had difficulty executing and maintaining its blocks during the entire game.  Holes quickly disappeared and it wasn't until briefly in the 4th quarter that the line seemed to wear Maine down.  Nothing like it used to be unfortunately, at least as I saw it.  Perhaps even the coaches were aware that the blocking wasn't going quite as planned when they called three straight pass plays on the two yard line.  
 
Maybe one reason Zac Taylor looked so good in the Spring Game was the caliber of the defense he had in front of him?  Just a thought.  He looked pretty good in the first half, but something changed in the third quarter.  He wasn't nearly as sharp, either in his throws or his reads, at least as I saw the game from row 81 in the south stadium.

Overall, the negatives outweighted the positives. 
But, there WAS progress made:

1) Defensive front 7.  The new players have
significantly improved the depth of this bunch, and
thus allowed more people to make more plays. Steve
Octavian showed a knack for recognizing where the play
was going in his limited time.

2) New punt return blocking scheme. Last year, Santino
Panico took way more abuse from both punt coverage
teams as well as fans than was necessary.  On his
post-game radio show, Bill Callahan even admitted that
they really didn't put much heart into the punt return
game.  The player that stood out on punt returns for
me was Blake Tiedtke.  Tiedtke would line up over the
ball, and then would break back just before the ball
was snapped to the punter to help block for the
returner.  The result?  There were no tacklers within
at least 10 yards of the return guy, allowing our
return guys time to catch the ball and find their
holes.

3) Penalties.  None.


Negatives:

1)  Offensive Line. I admit that I didn't follow the
offensive line play as close as I should have, though.
2)  Zac Taylor.  My concerns about Taylor from the
spring game were apparantly shared by Callahan and Jay
Norvell.  Taylor opened the spring game with trouble
taking the snap and with wobbly passes, but gradually
calmed down once the game wore on.  Last night,
Callahan took the ball out of Taylor's hands for most
of the first quarter.  However, unlike our backup
defenders, Maine was able to put pressure on Taylor,
and Taylor alternated between some nice throws to
Frantz Hardy, some wobblers, and some ill-advised
throws that were picked off.
3)  Play calling.  The opening ball-control series
made sense in hindsight.  Calling 3 straight passes
once you've got 1st and goal at the 2 yard line still
is bothersome.  And apparantly the play communication
system still is buggy, as Zac Taylor occasionally
needed to run to the sideline to get the play.

It will be interesting to see how the offensive line
develops during this season; if we don't see
significant improvement, I kind of doubt we'll see
Harrison Beck under center this season.  His time may
be better spent working on his reads and progressions
on the scout team than in running for his life and
getting beat up.

I was at the game. There are a lot of good things to take away from the 
game, but a lot of real bad as well. In particular, the offensive line 
could not run block.

We don't know that much about the first game opponent -- until they play a
few more games, too. So, it's possible that Maine is a terrible offensive
team and very good defensive team. If that were true, then, perhaps our
offense isn't really as bad as it looked, and our defense isn't nearly as
good as we think. So, patience, first and foremost. We'll know more after a
couple more games. 

I'm not really trying to make the case that Maine is a great defensive team
and a very weak offensive team, but that could be the case. Their win last
year over a 1A team was 9-7. I would think that the 65 scholarship limit
would mostly effect depth, and such a team might be better to begin the
season and have more trouble later as injuries pile up. Or, the coach might
put more if his limited resources in defense over offense, or another coach,
the other way. Just a thought.

He also might have gambled on stopping the run and making us beat him with
the pass. It sure appeared that way. A couple dropped passes are caught,
instead, and it's a two or three td lead, early. Take away the fumbles and
it's a route.

I'm not really as optimistic as this sounds. I'm just trying to cheer myself
up, and thought I might pass it along.

In fact, just to inject a little negativity, the play calling continues to
trouble me. Not only the obvious goal line stuff. If my above scenario is
right, then Callahan should have spotted the run stopping strategy and gone
up top right away instead of pounding away.

I don't know the letter of the law, but when Tommie Frazier went down with  
his blood clots, I remember that they asked about a medical redshirt and the 
two  series he had played against Pacific in game 4 had put him over the limit.  
 Therefore, it seems to me that 3 games is the magic number so he shouldn't 
have  any trouble getting a medical redshirt after game one.
 
By the way, anyone have any more details about the replay on Fox?  I  looked 
on my cable guide (Oceanic Time-Warner in Hawaii) and they just list the  
replay of the Texas game about 5 times in the next several days on the Fox  Sports

Difficulty scoring in the red zone is a problem ascribed to the  West

I just hope that this is not going to continue as a Callahan flaw.  He  did 
the same thing last year to end the game against Southern Miss, and we ended  
up with a loss despite having rammed the ball down their throats all the  way 
down the field to get into scoring position.  I hope that he doesn't  have some 
kind of ego issue where he is set on proving that he can pass it in  from the 
one regardless of whether it costs the Huskers more games.  
 
IMHO, with over 1500 pounds of O-line and a big fullback leading the way,  
the QB or I back has almost a ton of beef to follow over the goal line.   
Throwing from inside the 2 should be a one-shot deal, followed by a big punch in  
the mouth on the ground if it doesn't work.
 
then again, my record as a football coach is 0-0, so what do I know?   25 
years of watching the Big Red notwithstanding.

I'm guessing 1999, Stoops' first year.  I think OU was 5-6 or 6-5 that  year 
and the Huskers were 12-1, with the mid-season loss to TX keeping them out  of 
the title game.  Solich's best team I  believe.

There was also a time when we would just line up and
run a qb sneak until we punched it in. Surely we could
have done that 4 times from the one and scored.

Matt Hayes of the Sporting News says that the coaching
staff really wants to redshirt Harrison Beck, but
might need to look at Joe Ganz or Beck if Zac Taylor
continues to struggle.

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=insidedishcallahanhaszac&prov=tsn&type=lgns

Lee Barfknecht of the Omaha paper interviewed Bears
safety Mike Brown about the Chicago Bears and the
changes at Nebraska.

http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_pg=38&u_sid=2007664

Barfknecht also looked at Frank Solich's start at
Ohio:
http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_pg=38&u_sid=1495235

And close the book on Tyrell Spain for 2005.  Spain
took the wrong class in summer school, and is
ineligible.  He's attending classes at Southeast
Community College, and will enroll at UNL in the
spring.

And for those of you interested in the technical side
of how instant replay will work in the Big XII, the
Journal-Star looked into it.  To avoid any conflict of
interest concerns, the replay officials will NOT use
the HuskerVision system.

You know, if they offered same day delivery in Omaha,
I just might consider dropping my subscription to the
Omaha daily newspaper to pick up the Journal-Star. 
For a smaller newspaper with less staff, they seem to
be much more comprehensive in their coverage.

An analysis of Zac Taylor:
http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2005/09/05/huskerextra/editorial/doc431a7b7ed42cf985654179.txt

And the dean of Husker reporters, Steve Sipple looks
at Callahan's adjustments in year 2.  He sees enough
red flags to see 5-6, but also sees enough progress to
see 8-3. It all depends on how they progress from
here.

http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2005/09/05/huskerextra/editorial/doc431bd80d1b4fb677900633.txt

I especially like how Callahan is now splitting the
team on Mondays and Fridays for practice.  This allows
the lower units the opportunity to have a chance to
work through all of the drills without taking
opportunities away from the top units.  The Friday
walk-through now focuses on the game.

Wake Forest loses at home to SEC doormat Vanderbilt
and they are only 6.5 point underdogs on the road at
Nebraska.

This Vegas line may be the most telling bit of
information about how good or bad Nebraska is this
year.

The 6.5 point spread is just begging for people to
take WF because it just doesn't seem to be enough
points.  My experience in situations like this says
that Nebraska will be lucky to get out of the game
with a win.  I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

that Nebraska will be lucky to get out of the game
with a win.  I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

Former Husker Trev Alberts has been fired by ESPN.  I
was wondering why he wasn't on at halftime of the
Sunday/Monday games.

I was reading Callahan's comments about the OL play from the Maine game
and didn't find them very comforting. He indicated there were just a few
minor technique problems that were easily fixed. While that sounds
promising, it was eerie to me how similar that sounded to coach's
comments from 2-3 years ago when we couldn't run effectively all year
long. We'll see soon if this was just coach speak or the truth.
 
On a tangent, did anyone else notice how Alvarez threw a few of his
defensive players under the bus? He said the players totally abandoned
their training from the fall while Jacobs was lighting them up. He said
he didn't know why they even bothered showing up for practice because
they played last Saturday the same as if they hadn't even gone to fall
camp. While he never named names, the team demoted 2 starters in the
secondary.

On another tangent how about those throw back helmets for the Badgers.
The last time I saw helmets like those I believe Alvarez was wearing one
of them. A friend up in Wisconsin heard that they're wearing them for
the year. I hope not as they are UGLY!

Concerning the o-line play, I was highly disappointed by their effort
and I really had problems with the right tackle whose name I won't even
bother to butcher right now but he always seemed to be doing a look out
block for Taylor and picking him up from the turf. If this isn't
corrected this could be one of the longest seasons for NU fans!

Todd,
   This is a time when you go ahead and bet the farm
on the Huskers. Maine is a better team than Wake
Forest. There is a peception that if it a Division
1-AA team that they are not any good. I think we will
all feel alot better after this Saturday's game.

No great loss as far as I'm concerned.

I thought Trev was getting increasingly shrill in his arguments, which
also seemed to be increasingly off-base to me. 

Maybe that was a result of building frustration with his position at ESPN.

Maybe he'll land a commentator job somewhere else, but if so it'll probably 
be on a regional network like Fox.

For what it's worth, I listened to the first part of the WF-Vandy game on my way home from work last Thursday.  Sounded like Vandy was throwing well against the Freshman corners for WF.  Vandy isn't exactly great this year but they do have a pretty good senior QB.  Hopefully NU can throw effectively against WF.  Man, if NU loses to WF, it'll be time for some serious drinking......

I wonder if Trev would be able to stand being labeled a "homer" (his own words a couple years ago when some folks thought he showed some bias toward the Huskers). I know he also lives in the Atlanta area, I wonder how willing he would be to relocate if asked? I know I sure would- anyone asking? ;-)

AMEN! But I am not worried. Maybe it is just wishful
thinking on my part. But I have a feeling about it.
No, I'm not a psychic and I didn't stay at the Holiday
Inn last night either. But I remember for years the
point spread for the NU/KSU game was always too high.
Why? Because the national perception of KSU had not
caught up with their improved play. I think this could
be similar. NU ONLY beat Maine by 14? LOWLY Maine. Now
that Powerhouse of the GridIron, WF is going to come
into Lincoln and give the Huskers a game? I always
kicked myself for not betting on KSU those years, but
I just can't bring myself to bet against the Huskers.
But in this case, I think a guy could make some money
by taking the Huskers.

Don't count on WK being over rated.  Their top CB and runner were both out of 
the game against Vanderbilt.  Their top runner Barkley is two time all ACC 
and needs just 900 more yards to set a new record.  The back that carried the 
ball for WF against Vandy ran for 230+ yards in that game.  Their QB is also a 
running back, in High School he ran a noback offense and was voted Mr. Ohio 
Football his senior year.  He likes to carry the ball and runover players. This 
will be a real test of our defense.  Although their dl is small they are very 
fast and as slugish as our ol was against Main, well it could just be that...

  It only speaks to people's perceptions and betting habits, not anything 
about the team itself. It's sometimes too tempting to get overconfident (or 
underconfident) when one sees Vegas lines. Lines are all about money ... 
nothing more.
 I myself think we beat WF by 21, but that's just me. :)

The 6.5 point spread is just begging for people to
> take WF because it just doesn't seem to be enough
> points. 

  Actually, it indicates that a moderately even amount of money has already 
been bet on both sides. If a lot of people start laying money on WF, then 
the spread will shrink, or perhaps even switch to NU being the dog, to try 
to get more money bet on that side.

  You may (frightfully) be right, but if you are, it won't have anything to 
do with what happens in Vegas. :)

LeFlore and Fluellen are both listed as co-#2 at their respective WR spots,

Good Evening All:

While snooping around the 'net tonight I found it quite surprising to find ticket brokers (including Ticket Express here in Omaha) selling tickets for Saturday night's game against Wake Forest in Lincoln for as little as $19 each. In fact you could purchase some pretty decent seats for face value or less for this game. This is not a good sign.

Tickets for the Pittsburgh, Iowa State and Texas Tech games can be had for as little as $79 each right now and the cheapest tickets for Oklahoma are $129, with Kansas State fetching $119 per seat for the cheapest seats. These prices are obviously subject to fluctuation depending on how the season progresses. 

While the sellout string is not in jeopardy for this season I have to think it is in serious jeopardy next season. As everyone knows we will open up 6,000 more seats next year and if we repeat or even come close to the same record as last season I think there's going to be problems selling some of those high altitude seats in the north endzone. 

The times they are a changin, and quite possibly not for the better in Lincoln.

Hmmm...

A report on nebraskaradio.com has Kent Pavelka leaving
KKAR-1290 AM.

http://p066.ezboard.com/fnebraskamediadiscussionforumsfrm1.showMessage?topicID=1790.topic

Wild speculation on my part:  Jim Rose is too much of
a buddy of Pinnacle's Paul Aaron, so he's not going
anywhere.  But with Randy Lee now working football and
baseball, Pinnacle might just be looking to bringing
Kent back, if only for basketball.

10-10 at the end of regulation. Pitt returned a kickoff return on the 
opening Kickoff at the beginning of the game. Pitt has apparently as many 
problems on offense as we do. 

Ohio missed a field goal late in the game. By the looks of his stats, 
their kicker isn't very good. 

Right now, Frank looks like a frickin' genius. He has a crappy team 
playing well in front of a home crowd against what should be a good team 
that has the head coach that his former athletic director wanted to hire. 
You couln't write stuff like this and sell it. 

 I'm happy for him.

Ah, the joys of posting 3 minutes too soon.  :-)

Ohio intercepts a pass and returns it for a TD to win in OT 16-10.  

Pitt is either going to be REALLY down when they come to Lincoln in a 
week or really riled up!  Given Wanny's history as a coach, the former
sounds more likely.

The guy Pederson wanted at NU coaches pre-season ranked Pitt
to an 0-2 start.  The guy Pederson fired at NU coaches doormat
Ohio to one of its biggest wins ever --- over the school (again
called "Pitt") Pederson left (as "Pittsburgh") to come to NU.

Congratulations, Frank!

I can only assume the refs were Big East refs.  The officiating
was pro-Pitt the whole game, but two calls at the end stand out.
First, the Pitt player's knees are down in bounds and the refs
stop the clock.  Then, the refs stop the clock just because Pitt
doesn't get out of bounds and doesn't have any time outs.  B.S.
officiating.

Pitt looked terrible.  I hope that augurs for a Husker win in
Lincoln.

Beating the defending Big East Champions, with their returning QB, with a
lowly bottom of the conference MAC team.  Who would have believed it.  Think
about it.  Think about last year's Ohio coach pulling that off with those

Subject: [Husker] A Report from Ohio's Peden Stadium
Message-ID: <43227E0C.10509@ohio.edu>

Greetings to Mike, Jon, and other Husker list people from Athens, Ohio.  
Frank Solich and a d-back named Dion Byrum gave Ohio University students 
that extra edge they need to overtake Wisconsin and become the #1 party 
school in the nation.  Tonight's victory was HUGE for this program.  The 
attendance record was set tonight for Peden stadium, and this win was 
exactly what the OHIO President was dreaming about when he went after 
Frank Solich.  I could not say that Peden Stadium quite approached the 
level of Memorial, but all the fans really did their part to will the 
victory.  I am really proud of our fans for doing their job, and I am 
ecstatic for Frank, his staff, and the formerly downtrodden Bobcats for 
not giving up tonight when the game went to OT.  It is nice to have a 
team to root for that finds in itself ways to win despite its own 
weaknesses.  I hope Nebraska regains that edge soon!  And, as one of my 
'Husker friends commented after watching the game, "Now that's football 
I understand." 

Ok, most of you saw the game.  From my perspective, the 'Husker D. 
should be salivating.  Although large in comparison to the OHIO 
defensive line, the Pitt OL was S-L-O-W.  The left tackle, #56 I think, 
is huge but unable to handle a good pass rush.  Nebraska will be able to 
get to the QB.  Plus, the Pitt running game was weak.  The best drive 
Pitt had was at the end of regulation when Palko was dumping to the 
tight end.  Ohio was playing prevent and had the LBs too far back in 
coverage to stop that.  If you take out that drive, Pitt was really 
dominated by our defense.  Our secondary was able to shut the Pitt pass 
game down--the sacks were basically the result of great coverage.  Palko 
was really zeroing in on receivers and allowing our db's to read his 
telegraphs.  Looking down receivers coupled with a weak looking arm (his 
throws had little zip) resulted in two amazing INT runbacks.

The Pitt defense was not really tested.  Our (Ohio's) offense is having 
trouble.  But, we were able to put together some decent drives with 
power running and short outs.  I think Callahan should be able to go 
fairly shallow into his playbook to find a plan for beating the Pitt D.  
They were stacking the box against us--if they do that against Nebraska 
the wide-outs should be able to get shots at the middle of the field. 

Although highlights will make you think Pitt special teams are special, 
they will look average against the 'Huskers.  Absent the runback on the 
opening kickoff, they had a stronger kicker than us, but special teams 
did not stand out for Pitt. In the end, Nebraska will stop Pitt's 
offense--no question.  Nebraska's offense should be stronger than 
Ohio's, particularly if we make good strides against WF this week.  If 
the offense is clicking, we will spank Pitt handily

Ok, time to rest my voice and watch college students be silly walking 
home from bars!
Scott.

I wonder if Coach Solich is still subscribed to the Husker list? 
Probably not, he should be, though, I'm so proud of his Ohio team I
could pop my buttons!  

Now how do we get one of those Got Frank? tee shirts?  <grin!>

Maybe Memorial Stadium should turn GREEN next week with everyone
wearing a green Got Frank tee shirt. 

HEHEHEHE

Thanks for the update on the game, I walked away at the end of
regulation and came back to the TV in time to see the post game
interview with Coach Solich!  

It was also nice to see some familiar plays although I thought Ohio
struggled at the end of the game and it was typical that Pitt tied it
up on a quick through the air touchdown aided by the bad ref calls.  

I hope we can pull off a miracle and beat Wake Forest today!  

Go Ohio!
Go Big Red!

Dear Coach Solich,

 

I hope you take a moment to read this.  I didn't think about e-mailing you
the last two years until someone posted your e-mail address last night.

 

Congratulations on the huge victory last night.  Your victories in 1999
against Tennessee (Fiesta), Texas (Big XII CG), Oklahoma 2002, and Colorado
2003 were my previous favorites.  This one joins the group.


A part of me was taken away when the change was made in Lincoln.  I don't
know who the people that are there now are.  Bob, Tom and you were "family".
A connection to something I hoped would be passed down for generations.
Your new staff had a fabulous 11 months and I was very optimistic.

 

Now my heritage has found a new home in Ohio.  If there is anything a fan in
Houston, TX can do to help let me know.

 

Godspeed Coach Solich.

Hit delete then.

There are a lot of us who like following former Huskers.  If we can't  
discus Frank, maybe we can't discuss former Huskers in the pros, either.

With the same reasoning should we not talk about former Husker players
also? I mean if we get into a big discussion on Ahman Green are you
going to consider this a Packer list. Whether you like it or not, Solich
is always going to get some play here on the Husker List because he's a
former Husker player and coach. I suggest you use that big 'X' at the
top of the e-mail and blow it away if you're tired of hearing about
Solich.

Has this become the Ohio list instead of the Husker list? I could care
less 
about what FS is doing at Ohio or any place else for that matter.

Given that Pitt is coming to Lincoln in a week, that makes last night's 
game fairly relevant.  (Some comments about the KSU-Marshall game currently
under way might be equally on-topic, since the Wildcats are on the 
Husker schedule too.)

For the most part the traffic list reflects the interests of its subscribers 
and posters.  Find something about the Huskers to post about and maybe 
that'll generate some traffic.  IMHO, there hasn't been much worth talking 
about so far this season, even the Husker blogs I follow have seemed slow.

I do admit I was a bit surprised at the number of posts within the first
hour after yesterday's Ohio game.  Not much else on TV worth watching?

Once a Husker, always a Husker, therefore it is a viable topic for the 
list.  Start a new discussion thread if you are tired of this one.  The 
Wake Forest game today should provide plenty of new topics.  Go Big Red!!!

Amen to that, Omar. I can understand the affection many feel for Frank as he was a long time member of the Husker family ,but to suggest Memorial Stadium turn green (and I don't mean mandatory donations to gain the opportunity to buy a season ticket) goes too far. Regardless of how I feel about Frank, I am an alum of the University of Nebraska. It will always be my team/school, regardless of who is or is not the head football coach.
 
I wish Frank good luck at Ohio U. But I am much more concerned with how my Huskers are doing.

Amen to that.  If you don't like the conversation, try
to change the subject.

Here's an alternative conversation.  Wake's d-line is
one of the smaller one's we'll face this season at 255
pounds on average.  Does this give the Husker ground
game an opportunity to get out of 1st gear?

The story lines are plentiful - Huummmm.

Nebraska had gone to a bowl every year since 1968 - i.e., until 2004 when
Frank was gone.

Ohio hadn't gone to bowl since 1968 - until 2005 when Frank came to Ohio?

Could happen.

The O-line is where I'll be looking for vast improvement this week (over 
last week).  Hopefully, the line was just out of sync against Maine and 
will put it all together vs Wake.  It doesn't matter how much talent is 
in the backfield if the line isn't blocking effectively.  If the O-line 
comes together we will see a victory for Beg Red, if not, we will need 
help from the defense and special teams just like last week.

Yeah I couldn't believe that either.  In a futile effort, I donned my crazy-internent-guy persona and wrote ESPN an e-mail questioning the selection.  I can see why they would let Alberts go given his behavior (although I basically liked him), but Holtz is a terrible replacement.  Besides what you mention he just isn't a good performer/analyst. 
 
I thought after I saw Nick (Jessica Simpson's husband) on "Game Day" that they were really stretching for the younger demographic (in a misguided way).  Seeing Lou makes me think that they are simply wandering aimlessly without a marketing plan at all.

Um, softened up Pitt?  :-)

Barring a miracle, Notre Dame is about to go 2-0 against ranked teams,
on the road, though I thought Pitt's pre-season ranking was undeserved. 

The Marshall coach gets the early season vote for bonehead call of the year.
Down by 2 on the KSU 20 with about 14 seconds left and a time out to use,
they try a sideline pass that is intercepted rather than what the ESPN
crew was expecting, which was a run up the middle to set up the winning
field goal attempt.  

Oklahoma isn't exactly looking like a powerhouse today, either.

But Peterson looks like a complete animal.... that was probably one of the most impressive runs I've ever seen at the end of that game.

Actually, Frank was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in Ohio, where he set
several HS records for running backs.  He played fullback at Nebraska under
Bob Devaney and went on to coach at Southeast High in Lincoln, then for 
the Huskers.

When someone says (or types) "I could care less", that actually implies they do in fact care. They have room to care less than they currently do. Just thought I'd share that.

The Solich deal as we all remember was a very sensitive issue, so I for one am not surprised that certain folks take every opportunity they get to remind the list how great he is in all aspects of life. I'm sure he is a great man, a great coach, and a great whatever else, but he is about the last thing I think of on a Fall Saturday when a mediocre team is about to come to Lincoln with a very real chance at embarrassing the Huskers.

Nice win for Ohio.  But don't add to the Sugar Bowl line up just yet.  They scored no offensive tds.  They were jacked for this game, but I doubt FS will be able to get the team and fans up for every game.  He sure couldn't get the team ready to play consistently while head coach up here.

Beating the defending Big East Champions, with their returning QB, with a

about it. Think about last year's Ohio coach pulling that off with those

how to coach football. That wasn't about five star recruits. That was old
fashion Husker give everything you've got football.



Godspeed Coach Solich.

I guess a win is a win, but it would sure be nice to see a little offense. 
I hope they find some pretty soon, or there might not be many more w's.

At least the defense showed some signs of life at times, but they looked 
pretty awful at times too.

Here's hoping for much improvement before the end of the season.

It might have been an opportunity, but the Husker ground

No. Our receiers are dropping the ball because: 

- they're as confused by the playcalling and offense as we are 

- they're not that good

- they're young. 

- it seemed to be a problem today. Did you watch other football games? 
(i.e. Texas, ISU/IU)

They got backups that will make the starters compete for their jobs.

For what it's worth, this was a pretty good weekend for the Big 12 with 
everyone but Missouri, who lost to New Mexico, and Texas A&M, who did not 
play.  Sure, KSU struggled against Marshall, but that was a road game and 
they avenged their loss in Manhattan a couple years ago.  And Oklahoma was 
had a little more of a game than they wanted with Tulsa, but they did 
still win by 16.  The real gems were Iowa State's domination of #8 Iowa 
and Texas's big win at #4 Ohio State.  Even Nebraska's 31-3 win over ACC 
foe Wake looks good on paper.

The story's not so good for the Big 10.  I wonder how often all three of 
your top teams lose in one day, like Michigan, Ohio State and Iowa did 
today.  I think you'd be hard pressed to find a day in the history of the 
Big 12 when Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas all lost.  As much as I dislike 
the Big 10, I'm pretty damn happy about how things played out today.

Wake Forest had more first downs (19 to 13), more yards (247 to 234), and 
more time of possession (35:20 to 24:40).  In my opinion I don't call that 
good defense.  Wake had several receivers that were wide open and the QB

Solich at NU:

Among the best W-L records (>.753) of all active coaches.
Big 12 Coach of the Year twice in six years.
Six bowl games in six years.
Finished #2 nationally in 1999.
BCS Championship game in 2001.
Final Top 10 rankings three times in six years.

"Frankly", that is a record of consistent success.  I hope NU will
have the same success in the six years following Solich.

I'd like to make another observation about coaching.  We heard much
criticism of Solich's recruiting at NU.  Recruiting is important,
but so is coaching.  For years we heard that Notre Dame wasn't
geting the athletes.  Charlie Weiss comes in and Notre Dame beats
a ranked team to open the season and a top 5 team on the road to
go to 2-0.  We heard how Ohio didn't have the players to compete,
but Solich coaches Ohio, an also-ran in the MAC, to a huge victory
against the defending Big East champion.  Look at Nebraska's history
with Devaney turning the program around with Bill Jennings' players.
Solich's teams didn't win better than 75% of their games by not being
ready to play.

Will Ohio win the rest of its games this year?  Not likely given where
they are coming from.   However, Ohio came off a losing season to open
1-1 under Solich playing Big 10 and Big East teams.  As for coaches
having their team and fans up for every game --- last year, NU came
off a 10-3 year to open the season 1-1 under its new coach against
teams in the MAC and Conference USA.  That team went on to have its
first losing season in more than 40 years.  Seems like a funny time
to be criticizing Solich's coaching record.

I am sorry, but spewing stats like this is getting old. Support Frank if you want, I am. But stop trying to make it an issue everytime to try to split husker fans. Frank is in Ohio and I wish him the best of Luck. I also want to see the Huskers win. The game last night had some good parts and bad parts. (I just wish there were more good). 

It will be a long season as long as our offensive line plays the way it is and I don't think that would matter who was the head coach.

Doesn't this go for both sides of the coin? It seems to me that 60% of the 
"Subject Lines" appearing in my e-mail are from both sides and about Frank.


It feels like it is time to quit forwarding the same "Subject Line" and 
start a new one without anymore Ohio or Frank.

I am sorry, but spewing stats like this is getting old. Support Frank if you 
want, I am. But stop trying to make it an issue everytime to try to split 
husker fans. Frank is in Ohio and I wish him the best of Luck. I also want 
to see the Huskers win. The game last night had some good parts and bad 
parts. (I just wish there were more good).

It will be a long season as long as our offensive line plays the way it is 
and I don't think that would matter who was the head coach.

I agree in several respects:

1.  Let us move on to new subjects.  Frank's contribution to the 2005
    Huskers (as the coach of one of Pitt's opponents) is probably about 
    finished as a topic for active discussion, except to the extent that
    it affects discussion of next week's game.  (Is the coach at Marshall
    particularly relevant in discussing the Nebraska-Kansas State game?)

2.  Frank Solich, like any other former Husker head coach, remains relevant 
    in any historical discussion of the Huskers, something usually more
    prevalent during the hot stove season.  He also remains relevant
    in terms of his future efforts, though only to the same level as 
    what other former Huskers are doing in a sports-related or newsworthy 
    context, which is to say an incidental note, not a major topic of 
    discussion and debate.

3.  Let's try to keep threads about one subject at a time.

As a frequent critic of the coaches,  I am seeing a bit of light for the D.
Overall I think they played well.  I was concerned in the 1st half with the
ease that WF ran on them,  esp on 1st down.  However WF did not score &
NU was able to hold them.

The pass rush, again in the 1st half was tremendous. It appeared that
WF was screen blocking every play (hit once and let the D through). NU
got away once with a screen hold (DL are told to tie up a back if it looks
like a screen),  McKeon got the int as a result.  Muhammad was flagged
for a penalty on another.

The O does not look nearly as bright. Ross got half his yards on 1 play.
We also saw why BC called passes on 1st and goal against Maine,  3rd & 1
and 4th and 1 the runs were stuffed.

Special teams the results were good,  with some real boneheaded moves by
WF.  The first 2 drives starting deep in WF territory.  Of course I just
watched
Seatle play Jacksonville and Pete Warrick (a former 1st rounder) caught a
punt on the 2 yard line (in the air),  tackled at the 4.  So anyone can
pull one like that.

Wake Forest had more first downs (19 to 13), more yards (247 to 234), and
more time of possession (35:20 to 24:40).  In my opinion I don't call that
good defense.  Wake had several receivers that were wide open and the QB
just missed them. Had they made a couple of those plays it could have been a
different game. Considering that WF isn't a top tier team, I wouldn't blow

Perhaps this message (or thread for that matter) should be forwarded to Steve Pederson, since he is the only person who can do anything about it, or better yet, Solich himself since I'm sure getting fired at Nebraska is still all he thinks about. And by the way, take a look at who Notre Dame had returning this season- they had a pretty good group of experienced core players coming back, Weis shouldn't be judged too quickly as far as I'm concerned. 
 
It seems to me in the last few seasons having an experienced QB very often directly equates to success at the collegiate level (Quinn at Notre Dame comes to mind, as well as White at OU- as well as a pretty decent batch at Nebraska throughout the 90's.) If you see a Husker QB play for 2-3 straight years in this offensive system, I'm willing to bet money success would follow.

Solich at NU:

Among the best W-L records (>.753) of all active coaches.
Big 12 Coach of the Year twice in six years.
Six bowl games in six years.
Finished #2 nationally in 1999.
BCS Championship game in 2001.
Final Top 10 rankings three times in six years.

"Frankly", that is a record of consistent success.  I hope NU will
have the same success in the six years following Solich.

I'd like to make another observation about coaching.  We heard much
criticism of Solich's recruiting at NU.  Recruiting is important,
but so is coaching.  For years we heard that Notre Dame wasn't
geting the athletes.  Charlie Weiss comes in and Notre Dame beats
a ranked team to open the season and a top 5 team on the road to
go to 2-0.  We heard how Ohio didn't have the players to compete,
but Solich coaches Ohio, an also-ran in the MAC, to a huge victory
against the defending Big East champion.  Look at Nebraska's history
with Devaney turning the program around with Bill Jennings' players.
Solich's teams didn't win better than 75% of their games by not being
ready to play.

Will Ohio win the rest of its games this year?  Not likely given where
they are coming from.   However, Ohio came off a losing season to open
1-1 under Solich playing Big 10 and Big East teams.  As for coaches
having their team and fans up for every game --- last year, NU came
off a 10-3 year to open the season 1-1 under its new coach against
teams in the MAC and Conference USA.  That team went on to have its
first losing season in more than 40 years.  Seems like a funny time
to be criticizing Solich's coaching record.

Besides Bullocks and Rudd who were 1st rounders the defense that everyone is

MeKeon, Rudd, Bradley, and Bullocks.  These are all Frank's guys.  Let's

The firing of Frank Solich and the hiring of Bill Callahan was the
most significant historical event related to NU football since the end
of the 1997 season.  Arguably, it was the biggest change in the NU
football program in more than 40 years.  Inarguably, Steve Pederson's
actions were controversial.  Like it or not, the events of the next
few years will be used for judging whether Pederson's actions were
successful in their intent, whether they were a colossal mistake, or
whether they were a mix of success and failure.

The discussions on this list aren't undertaken to "do anything about
it".  They are for us to pass the time with speculation about the
future of Husker athletics, reflections on the past of Husker athletics,
and sharing information about the past, present, and future.  In that
vein, I think it is absurd to put discussion of this topic off limits.
As evidence of the perceived relevance of Pederson's actions to Husker
football, no other topic seems to generate quite so much discussion.

Does it get old?  Yes, but it isn't as if there are many engaging
threads to occupy us while we are between having watched past Husker
events and waiting for future Husker events.  On that point, I'll
even speculate that the diminishment of discussion on the list
reflects a feeling of many that the Husker present is less connected
with the Husker past and therefore is, to some extent, a little less
interesting and engaging.

I agree that having an experienced QB is an important factor for
success of a football team.  Taylor looks like an experienced QB to me,
although NU hasn't played very good teams.  I don't think NU's problems
on offense are with his experience.  Taylor seems to have a good (but
not great) arm and seems to execute the offense pretty well.  That
said, I think there seem to be many problems on offense --- run
blocking, pass catching, and something less easily identified (maybe
offensive flow or play calling).  Of course, the key to play calling
is finding a play that works, which is more difficult if ball carriers
don't get a line surge or a hole and if receivers drop the ball.  I
know Taylor's stats aren't very good at this point, but it doesn't seem
to me to be due to lack of experience.  I think it's going to take more
than QB experience to see improvment in the Husker offense.  Do you
lay the current offensive problems on Taylor's level of experience?

I not sure about depth and talent (I haven't noticed very much 
substitution), but the o-line hasn't been able to take control of the 
line of scrimmage against two defensive lines which were small compared 
to what they'll see in the following games.  I watched both games and 
saw many missed blocks on the edges, one particular sweep play featured 
the tackle and fullback completely missing their men and resulted in a 
loss of several yards on the play. On the play when Taylor got hammered, 
nobody even attempted to block the defender.  That kind of breakdown in 
the blocking scheme may cost us a QB when playing against bigger, 
stronger, faster competition.

That said, I believe the o-line just needs time to gel as a unit, they 
look tentative right now, they each are required to learn to play other 
positions along the line which complicates the learning process.  If and 
when the o-line improves its execution, the rest of the offense should 
look a lot better.  The long drive in the 3rd quarter last night was an 
example of what this offense will look like when it starts hitting on 
all cylinders, the Huskers will need more of that against Pittsbugh.

Been a lot of talk about our lines not holding.

Are we missing someone who is not talked about: Boyd Eppley?

We were always so proud of him and our weight room and you always read about 
the weight room, Boyd and how he and it built our Lineman. You used to read 
and hear about how many steers, stallions and bears our guys ate at a meal: 
you don't hear that anymore.

I remember the TV Stations showing pictures of the weight room and talking 
to Boyd about what his program was: you don't see that anymore.

To be perfectly honest, I believe it has more to do with the players' difficulties understanding the complexities of the system installed by Callahan. I hope this changes, but only time will tell- I just hope it isn't 5 years from now.

The discrepancy in the stats had a lot to do with NU's offensive ineptitude 
and its high-scoring defense: defensive TDs and offensive three-and-outs 
make for a lot of offensive series for the opposition. And given enough 
opportunities, a decent offense will put up some numbers.

There is no question that the defense has a lot of work to do, particularly 
in the secondary - those wide-open WF receivers were indeed scary (as was 
the blown coverage against Maine) - but the improvement over last year is 
obvious and provides a ray of hope in what has otherwise been a pretty 
gloomy start to the season.

Can anyone remember a time when we were 2-0 and this pessimistic? I was with 
some friends who are CU fans today, and I was thinking how glad I am that 
I'll be in Arizona the week after Thanksgiving. Shame on me, but unless 
things improve pretty dramatically, it looks like another long season.

That is a great byline story and I think it sums up
why I moved back to Nebraska, even though I'm not
originally from here. Great place, great fans ... and
hopefully someday soon (again) a great record to go
with it.

Nice link.

I have to agree with some concerns about the season so far.  The defense seems to come up with the big play, but the nose to nose, grind it out efforts seem at times lacking--first down yardage, open recievers, etc.  I like the seemingly improved pass rush that is helping the big play part.

The O-line has a way to go and the dropped passes bother me.

However, when I reran the first part of the tape showing the start of the second half, I saw what I hope is the future of this team.  The offense was crisp, the line seemed to work well, passes were caught and the defense played hard nosed football.  I would recommend that those of you who have the recording queue up that spot and watch it again.  It gave me some optimism, maybe it will you too.

If NU uses 2 INT returns by the same player to beat Pitt 16-10 in OT on Saturday, will Bill Callahan be annointed the coaching genius that Frank Solich has been over the last couple of days or will there be more grumbling and moaning about how bad we are at 3-0? My guess is the latter.

I agree, but I wonder when they will all start

what will be when they are playing Iowa State and Oklahoma?

Jeff.....  we were sold on the difference that the West Coast Offensive 
was supposed to make at Nebraska, and so far, it hasn't done very well. 
Maybe it'll come around - I happen to believe it will. However, until it 
does, I reserve the right to grumble loudly because Bill was supposed to 
be some kind of saviour. 

Besides that, if NU uses 2 INT returns to win in OT over Pitt, I'd have to 
think that Kevin Cosgrove would be annointed a genius. In fact, at this 
point, I'd be asking if anyone would like to take back complaining about 
how bad a defensive coordinator he is, because he seems to have the 
defense playing very well, very hard, with some passion. Granted, our 
opponents haven't been the greatest, but we have done very well against 
them.

I'd like to think that if the defense plays at the level they have been, 
we will be in every game this season. We are going to have to make plays, 
but perhaps against WF we showed that the defense isn't going to wait for 
the offense to make all of them.

I think we can agree that our first two opponents wer
enot very good. In the good ol' days, the score would
have been 70-3, but there is more parity in college
football these days. I think the defense can really
get embarrassed down the road against a quality
opponent. I mean, at this time of the season, the
defenses are usually ahead of the offenses. This
defense is very young. I think there is much hope for
next year, but I think maybe this might be another
LONG year, unless the offense starts producing. 

But I think maybe Pitt is in worse shape than us! So
we'll start Big12 play 3-0. 

Any news about Herian?

One of the things I've noticed so far with the defense is they seem much quicker than last year- of course, maybe the 2 offenses the Huskers have seen so far are much slower, but who really knows for sure. I do know that the red jerseys seemed all over the place (even on offense, which probably isn't so good). I agree with an earlier post about the defense keeping this team in games this year- does anyone really think OU will hang a big score on the Blackshirts? I sure don't see it happening. If someone had asked me in the Spring what I thought the OU game would be like, I'd have said it would be ugly at best. Now I''m not so sure. In this climate of "what have you done for me lately" I am more worried about Iowa State than I am OU. Texas Tech on the other hand...

Even after watching a tape of the Wake game, like others I still do not have 
much of a feel for this years team. On the one hand the three TD's by the 
Blackshirts were a nice surprise. But on the other, count the number of 
O-Linemen standing around after a running play that went nowhere. I do not 
know if Ross' long run was more a function of him beating the WF end and 
linebacker around the corner on talent or the O-Line finally getting in sync 
for one play. And if you take away that run, in a 14-3 game in the 3rd 
quarter, is the outcome different?

Keep in mind that the hope/expectation of Callahan's team is a return to 
MNC contention.  The hope/expectation of Solich's team is to improve 
from doormat status.  Analysis of game results are going to reflect 
these radically different expectations.  Also, only 1-2 people have 
anointed Solich a genius based upon the defeat of Pitt.

You're not counting folks in Ohio are you?  Also, even if 2 people have

It took two games for Frank to get his first "wow" win.  BC has yet to do that after 13.  And it won't come with game 14.  

I'd concur with the sentiments of most people on this list; the defense looks much faster, stronger and more dominant than last year. The offense is has been very discouraging (one drive at the start of one second half does not an offense make).  

I was looking the recent AP and Coaches poll this week to see if we might squeak by with one vote at the bottom of the pack.  We didn't and the reason is pretty obvious.  We need to start looking a lot better against some quality opponents.  Even a blowout of winless Pitt is unlikely to get us a single vote.   It's those games in October that will really tell.  

Like the ad says, you gotta show me something.

We may not have even garnered a single also ran vote in the coaches poll, 
but Las Vegas seems to have taken notice.  Last week we were just a 6 1/2 
favorite over Wake.  This week we're a full 10 point favorite over Pitt, a 
team who still ought to be considered better than Wake.

In other words, Vegas doesn't seem to think the win over Wake was 
insignificant.  I would have never imagined we'd go off as a 10 point 
favorite over Pitt when the season started.  The preseason consensus was 
that Pitt and OU were almost certain losses.   Now I'm not so sure.

At this point I'm thinking Iowa State and Texas Tech and the road trip to 
Colorado are probably our toughest challenges.  We ought to know a lot 
about this team after the next 3 games.

Not meaning to throw the proverbial wet blanket over the WF win, but if one

final score.

Go figure--no rhyme nor reason to that one. They have gotten off to an impressive start, although didn't play 
well on Friday. They came back and made Pepperdine look pretty bad on Saturday and played an excellent 
game against Penn State Sun. 

I was so impressed that I bought my tickets to the Final Four in San Antonio today. I predict that they won't be 
beaten this year.

ISU is actually getting some respect following their win over Iowa, a  
team that a lot of people seemed to be enamored with (some even  
picking them to win the B10 or even the MNC).  If NU can knock of  
ISU, I'd say that'd be somewhat of an eye-opener.

This is why I love college football. I mean if ten
years ago someone said, 'Nu beating ISU would be an
eye-opener', you'd laugh. Nobody stays on top forever.
Even mighty USC's days are numbered, I think.

I don't get that either, unless it is fallout from their almost-choke against the Gophers.  However, I have seen several matches on TV and they look awesome!  I believe that aside from 5 games against Minnesota and 4 against Pepperdine, they have swept their other 6 matches, mostly against top-tier competition.
 
I saw the Huskers play Penn State this weekend, and watched Hawaii play #10 UCLA, and Nebraska looked far sharper and more dominant in their sweep of PSU than either of those teams. 
 
A nice side note about the ladies: Melissa Elmer and Jennifer Saleamua are the only Seniors, and while they will both be significant losses, the team should be very deep again next year, hopefully going for a repeat title ;-)

I don't understand many things - but this is hard to get.
NU Volleyball fresh off victories over presently ranked #3 Stanford, #6 Hawai'i, 
#14 Ohio State, #5 Minnesota and a win this weekend over #4 Penn State and #29 
Pepperdine - lost a first place vote in the recent poll to Washington who now 
has 3 first place votes after their impressive wins over highly touted Sam 
Houston St, Wisconsin - GB, and North Dakota State.
Oh well. They are looking very impressive so far this year!

 I would expect that the Huskers will not receive any votes for the top 25 until after the Texas Tech game, and then only if they are 4-0 going in and beat TT.  Also, since the first 5 are at home and game #6 is at Baylor, the Huskers could conceivably need to go 7-0, 7-1, or 8-0 with a road win against a decent opponent, before they get a sniff of the top 25.
 
That said, to my eyes, the D looks much more like it did in 2003 than 2004, but again, the real test will be how they handle the team that hung 70 (ouch...that still hurts) on them last year.
 
GO BIG RED!!!

It took two games for Frank to get his first "wow" win.  BC has yet to do that 
after 13.  And it won't come with game 14.  

I'd concur with the sentiments of most people on this list; the defense looks 
much faster, stronger and more dominant than last year. The offense is has been 
very discouraging (one drive at the start of one second half does not an offense 
make).  

I was looking the recent AP and Coaches poll this week to see if we might squeak 
by with one vote at the bottom of the pack.  We didn't and the reason is pretty 
obvious.  We need to start looking a lot better against some quality opponents.  
Even a blowout of winless Pitt is unlikely to get us a single vote.   It's those 
games in October that will really tell.  

Like the ad says, you gotta show me something.

If NU wins a game as a 14 point underdog, or any game they aren't 
favored to win, the accolades will start rolling in for Callahan and his 
system.  I think the first opportunity will be the ISU game.  I'm hoping 
the Huskers will come together by then.

The Pitt game has become a must win for this team, a loss would bring 
the one we are not to speak of back to the forefront of all Husker 
discussions on the internet, in print, on the radio and on television.

That might be a reasonable question if we were a historically pathetic

Solich at NU:

Among the best W-L records (>.753) of all active coaches.
Big 12 Coach of the Year twice in six years.
Six bowl games in six years.
Finished #2 nationally in 1999.
BCS Championship game in 2001.
Final Top 10 rankings three times in six years.

"Frankly", that is a record of consistent success. I hope NU will
have the same success in the six years following Solich.

I'd like to make another observation about coaching. We heard much
criticism of Solich's recruiting at NU. Recruiting is important,
but so is coaching. For years we heard that Notre Dame wasn't
geting the athletes. Charlie Weiss comes in and Notre Dame beats
a ranked team to open the season and a top 5 team on the road to
go to 2-0. We heard how Ohio didn't have the players to compete,
but Solich coaches Ohio, an also-ran in the MAC, to a huge victory
against the defending Big East champion. Look at Nebraska's history
with Devaney turning the program around with Bill Jennings' players.
Solich's teams didn't win better than 75% of their games by not being
ready to play.

Will Ohio win the rest of its games this year? Not likely given where
they are coming from. However, Ohio came off a losing season to open
1-1 under Solich playing Big 10 and Big East teams. As for coaches
having their team and fans up for every game --- last year, NU came
off a 10-3 year to open the season 1-1 under its new coach against
teams in the MAC and Conference USA. That team went on to have its
first losing season in more than 40 years. Seems like a funny time
to be criticizing Solich's coaching record.

Subject: [Husker] Watch site in Chicago

I'll be in the Windy City this weekend.  I apologize, because I normally
don't pay attention to the threads on watch sites, as I don't typically
travel out of town during Husker football weekends!

Is there a place in Chicago where I can watch the game?  By the way,
we'll be in the downtown area, so something out in the 'burbs would be a
little more difficult for us.



According to the Chicagoans for Nebraska website that I visited last
week, the following locations are available to you:

McGee's : 950 W. Webster, Chicago
(McGee's will be offering free beer to Husker clad fans on Friday nights
from 6:30 - 8:30 pm during the football season.)

Stadium Sports Club : 4015 Algonquin Road, Rolling Meadows,
(847)397-2440 (west on Algonquin Road from the Algonquin Road exit of
the I-90 Northwest Tollway)

Fox and Hound English Pub & Grill : 4320 E. New York St., Aurora, 60504,
630-236-9183, Just north of Fox Valley Mall.  


Incidentally, I was in Chicago this weekend for the Indy Car races at
Joliet.  We went to the Fox and Hound location out in the western
suburbs.  While the staff was extremely prepared (with decorations,
balloons, beads on the table, etc.), our party of five was all that
showed up at this site to watch the Wake Forest game (and only two of us

I think it is strange how a coach and some players can have a terrible
showing at one team and then go to another and do a great job. I guess it is
just all of the intangibles and some luck. Sometimes I think if they had
just been allowed to stay another year or two where they were, they would
have had the same success.Then again, if they felt treated unfairly at one
location, they probably needed the change to start new with a new attitude.

I would have given Frank another couple of years. I hope we give these guys
at least 6 as long as they show improvement. After all, the line for the
position was pretty short of top candidates.

isn't this why the same group of guys are the NFL coaches at one team after another?  one team fires you for doing a terrible job, another team hires you - they must assume that you won't do a terrible job for them

Steve,
 
You can also try All-Star Hawaii, 2080 Kalakaua, Suite 102 in Waikiki.  808-955-8326.  I went there a couple of times last year before my cable was installed, they usually have the ESPN Game Plan package so the Nebraska-Pitt game should be showing.  They also open around 6am on Saturdays and have pretty good food to go with their dozen or so big screen TVs.  Also, if you park in the lot under the building they validate for you.
 
Enjoy,
 
GO BIG RED!!!

It sure as heck isn't going to start with Stewart Mandel's column about 
whether or not Callahan was the right hire for Nebraska, which was 
tailor-made (pun intended) to stir up the mailbag, get some high blood 
pressure going, as if  Cornation needed it: 

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/stewart_mandel/09/14/mailbag/index.html

It has some nice shots to go around, including this one at the end of the 
section about Nebraska and Callahan, that shouldn't be overlooked: 

which leads us to false assumption No. 4: That Nebraska fans have 
patience.

Which we don't, so if Callahan doesn't do well this year and somehow he 
gets fired, we'll all whine and moan and then wonder why we've suddenly 
become Alabama, some storied has been craphole that couldn't hire a decent 
coach no matter how much we paid him.

I think the implosion is already well underway. A
local talk show tonight was filled with Husker fans
who are rooting for Pitt this weekend in the hope that
it fortells the beginning of the end of this chapter
of Nebraska football.

And before the "change backers" start pointing
fingers, they should be reminded that they were the
first ones to lose patience.

There is plenty of blame to go around; I'm trying to
find out if there is any middle ground to be had here.

1. When you say the talk show was "filled" with (alleged) NU fans rooting 
for Pitt, how many callers are you talking about? I'm not challenging your 
characterization (I didn't hear the show) I'm just curious.
2. Those who would jump ship on an undefeated (albeit struggling in some 
respects) team, do not qualify as fans, IMHO.
3. "Fans" who root for "their" team to lose should find something else to do 
on Saturday. I, for one, don't want them around.

I agree - I think it foolish to hope for this staff to spiral  downward.  
Things seem to be improving, and if it would turn south  (souther?), I don't 
think Callahan will go anywhere for at least 3-4  years.  He needs a chance and 
then who would we hire?  No one big  would take the job, so you would be looking 
at a no name unproven.  Maybe  Tommie Frazier will be ready after a few 
championships at Doane?  I think  by then, he might be the only person that the 
fans would give more than a two  game chance to.

Let me offer some middle ground, or at least a place to gain perspective.
As a person who felt Solich should have been given another year or two, it
makes me sad to hear of people who would root against Nebraska. I'm a
Callahan fan now, though I still root for Solich, too. That doesn't seem
like a very hard proposition.

Unfortunately, this rooting against Nebraska has cut both ways. I knew a lot
of so-called fans, a few years ago, who rooted for Solich to lose in order
to speed up his firing. That always seemed so bizarre to me. If he's winning
you don't need to have him fired. But they didn't see it that way. If you
think about it, since Pederson had clearly decided to fire Solich prior to
the Colorado game that year - after all, he fired him after the Nebraska WIN
- it's reasonable (but not certain by any means) to assume that Pederson was
actually rooting for Nebraska to lose, which would have made his firing of
Solich much easier. No way of knowing what was in his head, though.

I would like people on both sides of this to consider an important
difference about patience. If you believed that Solich was ruining the
program, then you wouldn't mind a couple bad years under Callahan. In fact,
you would expect a couple bad years before the program was righted. Easy to
be patient if that's what you believe. On the other hand, if you believed
that Solich had one bad year (7-7) and maybe a couple bad recruiting years
before getting a new staff who turned it around in one year (10-3) and was
recruiting better, too, rated 14 by rivals in recruiting the day before
Solich was fired, then you don't understand why Callahan needs to get worse
for more than one year, if that, before he gets better. IN other words, you
would find it a lot more difficult to be as patient as the anti-Solich
person.

Without digressing into a rehash of which perspective is right or wrong,
just try to recognize that people who thought the program was going down the
tubes are not as bothered by losses - for now. They see it as a necessary
price to pay to right the ship. But if you are one of those folks, please
recognize that if you didn't see it that way, if you saw the Solich losses
as a blip before he got back on track, then cut those folks a little slack
if they show some impatience now as they fear the program was okay and are
nervous that it might be going down the tubes, now.

It will all work out, one way or another. Or is that won way or another? Go

>>> GREAT <<< post.

Dick Karre asked "how many" calls came in like this? 
I wasn't counting, but I'd say it was at least a
dozen.  They even let the show run over for a half an
hour to get more people in.  Of course, some of the
"change believers" called in to rebuke, though some of
them came awfully close to admitting that they might
have rooted for Nebraska to lose under Solich to force
the change 2 years ago.

I agree.  I thought Solich was poorly treated and was glad to see Ohio
whip Pitt, but I can't imagine wanting the Huskers to lose this game or
do badly in the future.  Likewise, I can't imagine why Pederson seemed
unhappy after Solich's last win (unless he was worried that it made
firing Solich more difficult).

> Things seem to be improving, and if it would turn south  (souther?),

I agree that things seem to be improving.  I'm sure Callahan is learning
about being the head football coach of college team with fans who have
very high expectations.  I hope he is making the adjustments that will
lead to more success than he had last year.

> I don't think Callahan will go anywhere for at least 3-4  years.

I disagree.  If Callahan doesn't improve on last year, he won't be here
3-4 more years.  For example, if NU loses 2 of the next 3 or goes 6-5
or worse for the year, there will be high pressure for some changes.
If it continued next year, I think there would be a change, perhaps
at AD and head football coach.  I think two more bad years (including
thie year) is all that would be tolerated, before there would be a
change.

> He needs a chance and then who would we hire?  No one big  would take

I disagree here too.  I think NU is a great opportunity and there are
many coaches who would love the challenge.  For example, many would
consider Glenn (Wyoming) an attractive candidate with a good resume.
NU could attract even more prominent candidates.

Steve I agree with your points except for one- did Ohio really "whip" Pitt? The game I saw could've gone either way. If Nebraska happens to beat Pitt with the help of 2 defensive touchdowns like Ohio did, folks will surely be ripping the lack of offense by the Huskers, yet no one seems to mention that the Ohio offense didn't generate many scoring drives of their own in the Pitt win, managing only a field goal at home. That being said, Pitt was an overwhelming favorite (and rightfully so) in the game, and really should have perfromed much better. Perhaps we should all breathe a sigh of relief that Wannstadt (sp?) was not hired in Lincoln!

I agree.  I thought Solich was poorly treated and was glad to see Ohio
whip Pitt, but I can't imagine wanting the Huskers to lose this game or
do badly in the future.  Likewise, I can't imagine why Pederson seemed
unhappy after Solich's last win (unless he was worried that it made
firing Solich more difficult).

> Things seem to be improving, and if it would turn south  (souther?),

I agree that things seem to be improving.  I'm sure Callahan is learning
about being the head football coach of college team with fans who have
very high expectations.  I hope he is making the adjustments that will
lead to more success than he had last year.

> I don't think Callahan will go anywhere for at least 3-4  years.

I disagree.  If Callahan doesn't improve on last year, he won't be here
3-4 more years.  For example, if NU loses 2 of the next 3 or goes 6-5
or worse for the year, there will be high pressure for some changes.
If it continued next year, I think there would be a change, perhaps
at AD and head football coach.  I think two more bad years (including
thie year) is all that would be tolerated, before there would be a
change.

I disagree here too.  I think NU is a great opportunity and there are
many coaches who would love the challenge.  For example, many would
consider Glenn (Wyoming) an attractive candidate with a good resume.
NU could attract even more prominent candidates.

Alan's take is the best post I've read in a long time.
 
It's often said that holding and understanding two contradictory views in your mind is a sign of high intelligence. These days in Huskerland, it's damn-near a necessity. Problem is, the general Husker-following public hasn't been able to do this. Not in the least. It never rises to the occasion. That's why it's the general public, I guess.
 
Personally, I'm in tune with Alan's post. I really want Solich to do well at Ohio, and don't feel the need to disparage his efforts there to make Steve Pederson's decision look more prescient. Likewise, I (obviously) want to see Nebraska do well under Bill Callahan. Dear Christ, I'm not wired to think any other way. And besides, I think that this argument gets really boring after a while. The satisfaction of saying "I told you so" is highly overrated, in my opinion. It ain't worth the bandwidth, air time and ink that's gotten chewed up in the last 18 months, anyway.
 
Between one side bleating about the assassination of the oh-so-precious highly moral Husker bloodlines and the other side condescendingly putting quotes around the word "fan" to disparage anyone who might question or challenge the decisions of the current regime, the middle ground in this debate seems about as wide as the head of a pin. So, kudos to Alan, who found that middle ground and articulated it as well as anyone I've seen to date. That one's a keeper.

Yeah.  More prominent would be good.  We've never done well with a

I think it is interesting that a statement like "no one big would  
take the job" could apply to NU football given our level of success  
the last 40 years.  Nebraska, with its fan support, facilities,  
university support, tradition, etc. should be a highly sought-after  
coaching job. That you can actually make a statement like "no one big  
would take the job" and have it ring true only points out how poorly  
the Solich to Callahan situation was handled.  I've had people on the  
outside (Iowa fans) say things like, "yeah, who would want to go  
coach there and get fired if they went 9-3).  If Callahan doesn't  
work out, we'll definitely have a hurdle to overcome in trying to get  
a high caliber coach.  That, to me, is really, really sad.  And  
that's exactly why I AM hoping for good things from Callahan.   The  
alternative is just too difficult to think about.

I disagree with you here Steve.  I don't think you could find another "Urban
Meyer level (Utah)coach" that would come to Nebraska.  This is the program
that fired a 10-3 staff after 11 months on the job, improved recruiting, and
greatly improved record from previous year - and a head coach with massive
program ties and an outstanding record of accomplishment (you listed them
last week).

Good coaches have to many options.  I think both Pearlman and Pederson would
also have to be gone and a heritage Husker would have to takeover as AD
(read BD/TO/FS loyalist).  The alternative is a fractured fan base.  Even
then it would be a tough sell.

If OU fired Stoop's for the recent inconsistency who would they be able to
fire.

In light of some of the conversations of late, I
thought the following Washington Post interview with
Frank Solich might be appropriate.  In it, Solich says
that he's not interested in vengence.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/14/AR2005091402739.html

Being a Wyomingite.... I can vouch that most of these Cowboy fans have
become huge Callahan supporters... as they are scared to death that Nebraska
will steal another from them.

Glen has restored alot of pride in the program and seems to be a real solid
coach. I have heard repeatedly that the only job he would leave for is
Nebraska.

Personally, I don't think they have to worry. I like Callahan. He is a good,
honest guy that will learn and adjust over the next couple years and turn
things around.

Pederson, I believe will leave. I just don't see the people ever forgiving
him. I think he will get tired of the negative publicity and do something
else completely.

Go Big Red Forever!

Subject: [Husker] OL Coach Wagner discusses OL play
Message-ID: <432B61E6.8000301@netzero.net>

This OWH article indicates the OL coach blames poor blocking for the 
anemic offensive output of the Huskers so far this season (requires login):
http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_pg=38&u_sid=2018587&u_rnd=2910459

Wagner Quote regarding OL grading after the Wake Forest game:
"our right tackle (Evwaraye) was at 64 percent and our left tackle 
(Fuamatu-Thomas) was 51 percent. That's terrible." and "If we don't do 
better, (quarterback) Zac (Taylor) will be here talking to you next week 
in a wheelchair. He's taken a lot of hits back there."

Wagner also says Lydon Murtha will see his first action against Pitt:
"I want to get him in the game early, this should put some pressure on 
our other two guys (starting tackles) to perform. Lydon's been 
practicing all fall camp but we've been limiting his contact and he's 
been doing some drills, so he's a little further along than we thought 
he'd be right now."

The article also mentions using some two back sets with Cody Glenn as a 
fullback, to get him in the mix.

Here in southern Indiana we're about a 2 hour drive from Louisville,
KY -- which appears to be the closest red zone.  Rats!

We would very much like to see this game today.  (I looked with
great interest at some of the ticket sale messages this week, but
didn't see how we could swing the trip.)  Does anyone know if ABC
regional coverage is typically part of ESPN Gameplan?

  Well i have a bad call brick, and i threw the brick for the first time in 
6 years.
I had the dogs hiding, what a lousy offensive show. I thought maybe the way 
the first half looked maybe today was the day for the offense to go but i 
guess not. and Pitt should have kept going to green's side as he did not 
stop anything all day. WE WERE LUCKY.

That was painful.  What a lethargic offense.  

Reference #3... Were the players well coached?  
	3rd down conversion 4-26, 15%
	15 penalties

	or, for those wearing the crimson rimmed monocles;
		4th down conversion 3-3, 100%
		No turnovers

Reference #4... Comparisons worth noting?
	Great recruiting in the Punter category.
	Offenses both ranked in the 110~120 categories overall.

The offenses were downright offensive.


But the Turkey prediction was pretty darn close.  VA Tech 45 - Ohio 0

(1) Have Callahan and Wannstedt coached against one another in the NFL?

(2) What are the combined losing records?

We didn't get the game on the West Coast and I couldn't bring myself  
to shell out the money for pay-per-view and wasn't sure I could  
stomach watching the game in a sports bar.  Unfortunately, Sirius  
carried the game and I sat through one of the longest "wins" of my  
life as a Husker fan.  Did it really look as bad as it sounded?  I'm  
usually a "win is a win" type of guy, but I can't believe that this  
was really a win.  In the record books (and box scores) it's a win,  
but I have never felt less confident in a 3-0 Nebraska team.  Maybe  
something will happen in the off week and they'll be ready for Big  
XII play.

Mike, you don't really believe it was the STYLE of offense, do you?  The 
playcalling was there, for the most part.  The execution was terrible, 
though.  The receivers and O-line played poorly in all aspects of the 
game...run blocking, pass blocking, receiving, mental mistakes, etc.  I'm 
not certain you can blame that on the West Coast offense.  Imagine how bad 
they would have looked running the Option.  Put 11 in the box and shut down 
the run.  At least the passing game...as bad as it was...did open up some of 
the running game.

By the way...the Freshman FB looks like the real deal.  He should live up to 
the hype.  Let's hope the rest of the recruits do as well.

5 of them, at least.  There were 5 penalties for
shifting into an illegal formation.

As for renaming this offense, there were 2 suggestions
heard from high up south stadium:

West Nile Offense (makes you weak and anemic)
Gulf Coast Offense (because there's nothing there)

Absolutely!  Either that or Brent Musberger.  :=}

An offense is only as good as your ability to execute it.  So far, it
isn't clear this team can run the WCO.  

Tom Osborne won over 250 games and three national championships by 
recruiting players who could both understand and perform the offensive 
schemes they were taught, despite the repeated claims that it was 
out-of-date, much of it coming from media critics who were themselves 
failed football coaches.

It wasn't really out of date, it might have been out of step with the 
trend and a bit one-dimensional for those 'experts', but dadgum it, it 
worked!

So far, we don't have a lot of evidence that the WCO will work at Nebraska.
Maybe in a year or two when the majority of players are ones who were
recruited to fit in the WCO we'll know for sure, if Callahan and Co. survive
that long.  (However, I also agree that like it or not Nebraska is committed
to the new offense, changing coaches this year or even next year would put
us on the road to a decade or more of mediocrity.  (See Oklahoma in the
post-Switzer era for what a real trainwreck looks like.)

Hopefully it will only SEEM like forever before the Huskers are a top 25
school again.  Right now I'm not sure they're a top 50 (aka bowl-eligible 
school.  5-6 seems well within this team's range despite being 3-0.  

Have any of the schools where the WCO has been successful had anything
like the sustained success Nebraska had during the 70's, 80's and 90's?

Maybe they do this already but I doubt it.  I think we
need to have a qualified official at every practice to
call penalties for illegal formation, illegal motion,
etc...

We don't look like we know the rules...

Looks like Eric Olson was offended at having to cover this game.

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/recap?gid=200509170023

"Zac Taylor accounted for Nebraska's only score, falling into the end
zone from a yard out in the second quarter."

"On fourth-and-goal at the 1, Taylor dropped back looking to pass, then
staggered into the end zone after finding no one open."

It was a pitiful game, but Taylor made a nice read that no defender was
covering him.  He didn't really need to dive into the end zone, but I
guess he wanted to make sure he didn't take a shot, and didn't want to
risk sliding in short of the goal line.

I am sitting here watching a tape of the game today. I missed the first 3
quarters watching at the Chadron State Game. By the way - for all of you
folks in Lincoln, Omaha, etc - that is a college in Western Nebraska
 somewhere out west of Grand Island) Sarcasm intended.

I will confess, on the way home to Douglas, Wyoming (on the West Coast of
Nebraska) listening to the 4th quarter I was pretty disgusted with the NU
offense. I thought the whole game must have been the most unimaginative game
ever called.

I can't believe what I am seeing. Callahan threw everything at them but the
kitchen sink. Great play calling with a few gadgets included. I see a young
team with a pretty good defense. They make alot of mistakes, have a lot of
penalties and sometimes aren't very good.

One thing I do see and did hear on the radio. These kids never quit. That is
what I thought we had been missing for the last 3 or 4 years. No laughing on
the sidelines when things go bad or folding when the momentum turns. That
may happen in the future when they lose badly.... and they will.... but for
now it is refreshing.

I have been a hard sell on this change at NU, but you can officially mark me
in the column as SOLD!

Enjoy this game. Each win will become tougher, and we may not see another
this year. We have a wealth of talent coming up, and as long as they keep
fighting like they are, I'll enjoy this year as well.

I don't care if we go 3-8 this year. The Nebraska I know is back.

I say the coach should have one more year to prove that the WCO works or

Didn't work for him there either?  I have followed Devaney and Osborne all 
my life and I loved their type of football. It was just as exciting as the 
WCO. The Option was a lot of fun to watch. Not many could stop it.
Maybe we should ask the Athletic Director to leave?

This is the third week in a row I have read this comment from at least one of the listers. To me, 3-0 is 3-0, I couldn't care less how they get them.

The thing I found most disturbing however, was the look on Callahan's face after the FG attempt was blocked as time expired. Talk about not acting like you've been there before, holy crap!

I will never listen to "biased" commentary on how great a Husker QB looks again- after believing all the hype on Taylor, he looks lost to me, ala Dailey all over again. At least this kid seems to be able to make the throws Dailey could not. If ISU and Tech come in and walk all over the Huskers, Callahan may want to consider putting Harrison Beck through the old Troy Aikman treatment (fed to the wolves in Dallas but gaining HUGE amounts of experience in the process).

The silence is deafening here inspite of a few good posts

Roger I couldn't believe my eyes that you sold your tickets: I thought you might even hook a ride on my train with me.

Wonder what is going on the Oklahoma "List" tonight: sure wish I had ears there.

I saw one great post from Mike Peterson where he echoed my thoughts "and my support of Bill": give Bill a chance.

I remember coming back from Dallas in the late 90's, stopping to gas up north of Oklahoma City and in the restroom I ran into a guy 
all decked out in Sooner gear: they had just lost. Next to Nebraska I have always been a Oklahoma then a Florida State fan and I 
really truly expressed my heartfelt condolences to him.

So it was with the Sooners in the late 90's and now the Huskers and they will return to do battle with one another.

In the meantime I sure enjoyed Bowden's win tonight. He and Joe Paterno are the last of the greats.

I am sure NE (however NE is 3-0 with a week off to regroup) and Ok (unheard of 1-2) are not in the title hunt this year so I say go 
Seminoles.

Our hearts are with the Huskers but and admittedly we hate our other great adversaries: like Miami. But there are good teams out 
there who we have been in competition with in the past and will be in the future: like Miami who pulled off a squeaker tonight.

(Lee, I don't like using the List to respond directly to a question or comment, but just to set the record straight...)  I sold two tickets, but Ryan and I attended the game with my regular tickets.  The tickets I sold are extras I buy each year.  They were spoken for.  But, a conflict arose late for the person that usually buys them and I posted them on the List.

I found it was much easier to sell my Notre Dame ticket a few years ago than 2 for the Pitt game this year.  I had but one inquiry from the List.  Unfortunately, that was received shortly after I sold the tickets to a friend who responded via e-mail.

The best thing I can say about yesterday's game is that it had an exciting end and Cory Ross played so hard all day.  Motion penalties and other drive-killing errors over shadowed additional positives for me personally.  In spite of the D's play yesterday, I still have concerns about the D vs a 'good team.'  Concerns about the O are obvious.

We did talk to a group of 5 Pitt fans from Pittsburgh.  They were quite high on Steve Pedersen.  In fact, they were on their way to his office to try and talk with him.  They were very down on Wanstadt (sp?) for lack of offensive adjustments against Notre Dame and Ohio.  They were frustrated that each time they get a good coach/AD, they leave and 'return home.'  One said that he knew the moment that B$B left NU, Pedersen was headed to Lincoln.  They also said if Pitt runs the ball 3 times on their first possession, Pitt will lose.  Pitt certainly didn't run the ball 3 times on their first possession.  But, they still lost.

P.S.
Lee, I didn't think about another ride.  I will contact you later this year to see if we can work that out again.  We had a great time last time!

Come on, Mike it's a trick question. There isn't any other team, 
regardless of offense, that had the sustained success we had over that 
period of time. If that's the expectation level, it will never be met.

yea but 10-3 is horrible if you lose 3 blowouts.

If NUs schedule was not so freaking weak,  another
sub 500 season would really be likely.  Even with the B12 N
being poor. it will be close

This is the third week in a row I have read this comment from at least one
of the listers. To me, 3-0 is 3-0, I couldn't care less how they get them.

The thing I found most disturbing however, was the look on Callahan's face
after the FG attempt was blocked as time expired. Talk about not acting like
you've been there before, holy crap!

I will never listen to "biased" commentary on how great a Husker QB looks
again- after believing all the hype on Taylor, he looks lost to me, ala
Dailey all over again. At least this kid seems to be able to make the throws
Dailey could not. If ISU and Tech come in and walk all over the Huskers,
Callahan may want to consider putting Harrison Beck through the old Troy
Aikman treatment (fed to the wolves in Dallas but gaining HUGE amounts of
experience in the process).

On the Huskerpedia Game Page, in the fourth article from the Pittsburgh

stuck in the turf (and then twisted) which caused the broken  ankle.   
Was that just a fluke or have there been other injuries?   I am  wondering 
how you get your foot stuck - are there holes that didn't get  covered?  Wrong

However ugly the win, and whatever problems the team had I thought one
hopeful thing was that they didn't just give up and roll over -
something I saw more of last year.  I sit behind the husker sideline and
I saw more enthusiasm and cheerleading from those guys this game than
maybe any game from last year.

As a "new" tradition the singing of "There is No Place Like Nebraska"
was pretty cool especially since the stadium was practically full at the time.

What were those people thinking who left with a minute and a half to
play?  The whole price of admission was the last 10 seconds of this contest.

When the team left the field the crowd started chanting DEFENCE DEFENCE
- a nice tribute if you ask me.

Anyone know how the Pit kid with the broken leg faired?  One of the
uglier breaks I have seen on the grid iron.  Great round of applause
from all fans for this kid.

Guess if you want Nebraska to win all games by a 40pt margin this will
be a dissappointing year.  Now if we can manage not to lose by a 40pt margin.......

I can't believe what I'm reading.  It has no credibility.  People saying
that "Nebraska might not win another game" is ridiculous.  I'll take all of
that action I can get.

This is, in my opinion, the weakest schedule Nebraska has ever had.  Every
team we have played so far has come in winless and the BigXII schedule
favors us in every way - good teams at home, opponent down years, don't play
Texas and A&M, etc.  Nebraska spends more than all but a handful of programs
on athletics.  We have superior athletes to the Kansas and Iowa States of
the world year in and year out.

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to complement this new program by saying
we will win a lot more games.  I'm saying that setting the bar so low isn't
reasonable (that may be the purpose of these comments).  Sheesh.

I don't know what you were watching in 2003, but it
obviously wasn't the Huskers.  Yes, we saw quitting in
2004, and again in 2002.  2003 was a completely
different situation.  Against Texas, it was
exhaustion.  Against Missouri and Kansas State, it was
trying too hard to make plays that weren't there.

I assume that is sarcasm.  I too hope it is not too many years before
NU is a horrible 10-3 again.  And, if 10-3 with three "blowouts" to
bowl-bound is horrible, what is 3-0 with three squeekers over pitful
teams.

The schedule shapes up pretty well.

1) The road games include the three weakest remaining teams on the
schedule --- Baylor, Missouri, and Kansas.  I think 3-0 would be
encouraging, 2-1 would be disappointing, and anything less would be
cause for grave concern.

Baylor is better, but look where they are coming from.  Baylor
struggled to beat Army and SMU.  NU has much better athletes.

Missouri has given up an average of more than 24 points against the
likes of Arkansas State, New Mexico, and Troy and Troy just put up
nearly 600yds of offense.  That should give even NU's offense hope.

Kansas may or may not be better.  If they are, then not by much.
Lousiana Tech had more first downs (20-13), more yards (295-277),
but more penalties and turnovers.

2) The middle tier of teams are coming to Lincoln.  NU should
have the advantage to win both these games.  I think 2-0 would
be encouraging, 1-1 would be not be progress for the program,
and 0-2 would be very disappointing.

Iowa State struggled to beat Illinois State and their win Iowa was
aided by Iowa's 5 turnovers.  Still, they should beat Army on the
road next week.  Meanwhile NU has a week off to prepare for a pretty
important game for the Huskers.  This one is key for the season and
NU has a big edge playing at home with a week off.

Despite K State's struggle (and lucky win) against Marshall, they
have good athletes and coaches.  K State must play OU and Texas
Tech on the road and Texas A&M at home.  By November, this could be
an elimination game for the Big 12 North.

3) Two of the top tier of teams are coming to Lincoln.  I think 3-0
would be incredible, 2-1 would be great, and 1-2 would not be
progress for the program, and 0-3 would be disappointing.

Even if he defense forces turnovers against Texas Tech, even it the
defense produces scores against Texas Tech, the offense must play
better because it is difficult to think Texas Tech is not going to
outscore NU's defense by more than a few points.  The chances are
that both teams will be undefeated (with the biggest question mark
whether NU beats ISU at home the week before).  Fortunately, this
game is in Lincoln and the Husker players might believe they will
do it, which is much of the battle.

Anyone thinking OU is as pitiful as their 1-2 record indicates is
likely wrong.  They had more first downs and yards than undefeated
UCLA, but lost three fumbles.  Still, OU looks much more beatable
than they have been for years.  And, the game is in Lincoln.

NU must go on the road to CU.  I guess we'll learn more about CU
this week when they play at Miami.

Overall, I believe the offense is much better than the stats would
indicate.  Taylor has taken care of the ball, especially the last
two games.  He looks as if understands the offense pretty well for
having played in only three games for NU and he is able to make
the throws even if he doesn't have outstanding arm strength.  NU
had better success running the ball this week, after the offensive
line was called out by fans, coaches, and other players.  The
biggest problem against Pitt was penalties.  Those are tough on
this struggling offense.  Where were the officials from?  (I wonder
if a statistical study of interconference games would show a bias
by officials.)

With 4 remaining home games and 4 remaining road games, I still think
NU must win 5 more games to give much encouragement about the program.
The defense and special teams look good enough and I think the offense
is showing progress.  I think that there are reasons to be optimistic
that NU can finish the regular season 8-3.

I don't think 8-3 will be good enough to win the North.  Iowa State
and CU seem to have better schedules for that.  ISU's Big 12 South
opponents are Baylor, Oklahoma St, and at Texas A&M.  CU hosts A&M and
plays at Texas and at Oklahoma St.  That sets up for one or both of
those teams to go 2-1 against the southern teams.  It will be tough for
NU to go 2-1 against the southern teams.  Also, ISU hosts K State and
CU, but must travel to NU.  CU has to travel to ISU and K State, but
hosts NU.  ISU could lose in Lincoln, but win the north by beating K St
and CU at home.  CU could lose to ISU or K State, but win the north by
splitting those games and beating NU in Boulder.  K State hosts CU,
must play at OU, at Texas Tech, at NU, and at Iowa State.  They need to
beat CU at home and win two tough road games to finish with two
conference losses.  If Missouri or Kansas pull off some wins, the North
could be even more interesting, but I think a team with three conference
losses will not win the north this year.  So, I think to win the Big 12
North, NU must beat win three out of four at home against Iowa State, K
State, Texas Tech, and OU, or win on the road at Boulder.

The stats I saw was that Troy had 280 yards passing and 74 yards
rushing.  That adds up to considerably less than 600 yards, but they 
also had 192 yards in returns.  (Mizzou had 178 yards in returns, sounds 
like it was a special teams kind of day.)

And with all those yards, Troy managed just 21 points.  (But that's still
three times the number of points that the Huskers had yesterday.)

> Where were the officials from?  

Officials don't cause players to line up incorrectly or miss the snap 
count.  I don't recall any noticeably bad calls in that game, except
the one they didn't get right even after further review, and that
wasn't a penalty.   

I agree with you that 8-3 is possible but may not win the Big XII North, 
and the first step on that road is beating Iowa State.  BTW, has anybody 
noticed that Dan McCarney is 6-5 against Iowa?

As to having better players, Nebraska is 2-5 against Kansas State in
the post-Osborne years and 4-3 against Colorado.  Who's had the better
players?

I haven't kept an actual count, but it seems to me that there were a *lot* of reviewed plays during the first game, but not nearly so many during the other two.. Am I missing something?  any comments on the 'review' as implemented this year in the bXII ?

I'm pretty darned sure it was the Huskers as I have been watching them

and since they were red I "figgered" they weren't Northwestern. Plus in
spite of the exhausting 10 hour trip, I do believe I was in Lincoln. :)

I will probably look back at this post at the end of the year and laugh...
but here goes...

It is surprising to me how much of a drop off there is between USC and Texas
and the "also rans". I haven't watched college football this year as
diligently as in the past, but is there anyone else?

You can all remind me of this when Nebraska is playing Baylor in the Big 12
Championship game this year for the right to play Florida for "it all".

Wyoming, Vanderbilt, Toledo, UTEP, and Bowling Green

week but not the Huskers.

It doesn't hurt my feelings though because I haven't
quite figured out if our defense really is good, and

Greetings All:

>From what I have heard about this issue others were consuming alcohol in the car (the driver was not), however for whatever reason Mr. Mussburger was the only one ticketed.

ABC/ESPN will likely have no comment about this but I can't say the same for the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" or "Late Night with David Letterman", and it's not likely to be favorable for Nebraska. In fact it wouldn't surprise me to hear some comment connecting our red fanaticism to the color of our necks.

I've also been very curious when NU might make its first appearance in the "also receiving votes" category. 

To keep it all in perspective, there are several other 3-0 schools (Washington State, Kansas, Okla State) with no mention in either poll.  It's also difficult to understand why/how Oklahoma continues to receive any consideration.  Or why Iowa is still ahead of Iowa State.  But then it's still early. 

As we know, even with three wins, Nebraska has looked a long way from impressive, at least offensively.  Our SOS has been pitiful.  This will all change in two weeks; an opportunity for the first quality win of the year.  I would expect even a repeat of the Pitt game (winning despite an inept, heavily-penalized offense) would catapult us to the upper half of the "also receiving votes" category.  

Isn't is distressing how we're beginning to define success?

Many years ago a Lincoln car dealer who was often in court with his
customers was quoted as saying that there was no such thing as bad
publicity.

Maybe that's not quite as true here.

I suspect the real story on this is that Brent was the one who tried 
to convince the cops how important he was.

IMHO, 5-0 will get us votes, although maybe not enough to actually get into  
the top 25.
 
To go 5-0 we will have to beat TTech and whether that happens because the  
offense gels and manages to score enough to win or the  D really is that  good 
and outscores TT by itself, that win will get us votes, even if ugly.   If they 
beat TTech at home, impressively, they might make the top 25, but my  guess 
is not until a solid road win, which means against someone better than  Baylor.
 
So far I have only watched the first half of the game on my DVR.  I  think 
the number of penalties were ridiculous, and Taylor needs to think about  
throwing the ball away instead of taking big sacks repeatedly.  Speaking of  sacks, 
between that and the penalties the O-line still needs some major  improvement. 
 I did think that most of the "skill" players looked pretty  good.  Some of 
the missed deep balls were due to good play by the Pitt D,  not necessarily 
errors by the Huskers.
 
Have the fans in the stadium switched from "Go Big Red" to "Let's Go  O" yet?

Baylor and Kansas are both 3-0 and make good cases to be a bit worse than 
our beloved Huskers.  Oklahoma State is 3-0 with wins over Montana State, 
Florida Atlantic and Arkansas State.  They only beat Montana State 15-10 
in their opener.

The B12 has been loading up on a lot of patsies early and the conference's 
overall record is 27-4, half of those losses being by OU.  And it's kind 
of amazing, but the B12 North is 14-1 right now, Missouri's loss to New 
Mexico being the lone setback.  The other loss was A&M losing 25-24 at 
Clemson.

Nice wins include Iowa State beating Iowa and Texas beating Ohio State. 
Our win over Pitt is probably the 3rd best win for the conference right 
now - a little better than CU beating CSU or KSU beating Marshall.

In out of conference games the Big-10 is 27-5, the SEC is 16-4, the Pac-10 
is 20-6, the ACC is 13-5 and the Big East is 13-8.

I think if we beat ISU, we ought to be in the other receiving votes 
category and possibly in the top 25, given that ISU is #22 right now.  If 
we beat TTech too, we should definitely be ranked.  That much being said, 
I'm expecting we'll be 3-2 three weeks from today.

I think you're grossly overestimating how many people care about 
Mussburger or the fact that he got ticketed in Nebraska.  I'd be shocked 
if this was mentioned on any national comedy show.  Mussburger's minor 
legal problems are simply not a big deal to most people.

The first thing I thought of when I heard about this was does anyone really believe this was the first time Musberger has done this? I mean, all the times the guy has been in rental cars and at different games, I bet this is not some spur of the moment act- I wonder how many times he's gotten away with it? Perhaps that may explain his getting a ticket- "celebrities" like Musberger are quite used to some cop seeing who they are and letting them go, so when one didn't old Brent got pissy. Who knows. I know a few of my friends over the years have been stopped as passengers on road trips for the same thing, and usually the cop is pretty lenient since they were not the driver. Judging by some of the comments I've heard Musberger spew over the years, it would not surprise me if this was a regular pre (or post) game ritual for him.

Maybe Brent gave the cop that "Now hold on there, pardner!" line and it
didn't sit well.  Or maybe he asked if he was the freshman cop, or the
veteran cop.

Seriously, if it's a law, enforce it.  What's the point?  How about not
letting a passenger hold a beer for the driver in case the driver is
drinking and gets stopped?

If others in the car had beer and didn't get ticketed (and that was only
from an unnamed witness), Brent probably did something wise-ass; or
maybe the cop really didn't like him.  In any case, Brent should be
smart enough to keep his beer can hidden when driving past a traffic
cop.

I thought one comment made during the broadcast was particularly revealing,
in that Pittsburgh had no respect for our receivers...feeling that we had
no one who was a game breaker.  In this type of offense, I would think that
would be the first thing you would need.

In watching Florida St., they kept going on and on about their big-time
baby receivers who are just adjusting to the college game...and then sure
enough, one of them breaks out in the second half leading to  Boston
College's demise (not to mention the Eagles lost their QB)...anyway..back
to the Huskers.  Do we have that type of WR in the works?  I didn't see
anyone who could consistently create separation.   Also the lack of a go to
tight end.  It is hard to watch most of the time...anyone else cheer when
the defense gets on the field as the most likely means to score points?!?

The other interesting comment was about letting the young offensive talent
out on the field....even if they aren't as polished as the starters.  How
long until we start hearing Beck chants if we don't officially redshirt
him?

Gonna be an interesting year.

The only "go to" receivers that I witnessed on the field last Saturday were the tight ends that either the line judge or umpire "went to" to throw the yellow hankie for holding or lining up incorrectly.  I think we REALLY miss Herrian and I am not convinced that our receiver core is above average.  I think they are average.  Yet, sometimes average is good enough and in many cases should be a lot better than one touchdown per game.

Hi Jon,

Actually, there are quite a few states where it is
legal to be drinking in a moving vehicle (Louisiana,
Texas, Colorado, etc).

I have to agree with Gary Fead, I'm not sure what was
accomplished here.
 
When I went to the Oklahoma game in Lincoln (in 2001 I
think, when Stuntz passed to Crouch), I remember
getting off the bus with about 40 people who all had
beers.  A bicycle cop rode up and ticketed one lady
out of all of us.  Weird.  He was most definitely a
redneck, that was sure.  He was also somewhat panic
stricken, maybe he was a rookie or something.

Message-ID: <000801c5bd75$bb04bb80$997d0d44@cx868370b>

Greetings All:

Here is the final complete TV list for the Big XII on Saturday, October 1st:

11:00 AM - Texas at Missouri (ABC - Regional)
11:30 AM - Baylor at Texas A&M (FSN Syndication)
2:30 PM - Iowa State at Nebraska (ABC - Regional)
6:00 PM - Kansas State at Oklahoma (FSN National)


Looking ahead a little bit to October 8th (the TV status of these games will be announced on Monday, September 26th, unless ABC exercises one of their 6 day "windows" in which case the announcement will come on Sunday, September 25th) - 

ABC National has Texas/Oklahoma in Dallas at 11:00 AM (this is the only ABC slot for the 8th)
TBS National has 3:00 PM CT slot
FSN National has 6:00 PM CT slot


Now here is the conference schedule for the 8th:

Texas at Oklahoma (ABC National)
Kansas at Kansas State
Texas A&M at Colorado
Baylor at Iowa State
Texas Tech at Nebraska
Missouri at Oklahoma State

Nebraska will do everything possible to avoid playing their Homecoming game at night (the Texas Tech game is Homecoming), so with the early slot on ABC taken by Texas/Oklahoma that pretty much leaves the 3:00 PM slot on TBS if the game is to be televised. 

My guess is that the Big XII has been told that Texas A&M/Colorado, Texas Tech/Nebraska and Missouri/Oklahoma State are on the make ready list until next Monday pending some of this weekend's outcomes. North Texas plays at Kansas State (KSU should win), Indiana State plays at Texas Tech (Texas Tech should win), Texas State plays Texas A&M (Texas A&M should win) and finally Colorado plays at Miami (Miami should win). 

My guess is TBS takes Texas Tech at Nebraska if TT wins this weekend (which they should), and FSN takes Missouri at Oklahoma State unless Colorado pulls off the upset in Miami in which case they take Texas A&M at Colorado.

We'll see what happens next week and happy viewing-

OK I need to make a correction here.

"Looking ahead a little bit to October 8th (the TV status of these games will be announced on Monday, September 26th, unless ABC exercises one of their 6 day "windows" in which case the announcement will come on Sunday, September 25th) - "

This should have read:

"Looking ahead a little bit to October 8th (the TV status of these games will be announced on Monday, September 26th, unless ABC exercises one of their 6 day "windows" in which case the announcement will come on Sunday, October 2nd) - "

Changing the 6 day announcement date from September 25th to October 2nd.

It could just be that he was ticketed for breaking the law like you or I
would and the officer didn't give a darn who it was. Only a so-called
witness said others were drinking.

I really couldn't care less what Leno or Letterman think. I would hate to

Maybe this plays well in Lincoln and with Brent-haters, but from the outside looking in, this incident appears mean-spirited and petty.  

Imagine this incident were to happen tonight after MFN outside the Meadowlands to Al Michaels.     

What do you suppose the reaction would be tomorrow morning in NY/NJ and around the country?

I doubt the ticketing officer would get promoted anytime soon.

I find it mildly amusing that in the past we have had
threads about former players and coaches and someone
will throw in the "is this really Husker related"
comment. Now we have a thread about a guy whose only
tie to the Huskers is the fact that he has announced a
few football games and no one has made the comment. 
Look I dont care one way or the other about Brent or
wether or not this thread continues I just found this
kind of funny.

My personal reaction would be - "Al Michaels? What a dumb-ass thing to

There were a lot of comments made by this crew that you'd have to take as 
a grain of salt. My first reaction in paying $20 for this game was to call 
my wife and let her know we had the honor of having Brent, Gary, and Jack 
as the crew. 

It'd be arguable about whether or not you'd want a game breaker or a 
possession receiver - Mulkey seems to do a darned good job of catching the 
ball when it comes into his area. It'd be nice to see some stats regarding 
how many drops each receiver has had.

WR's - Terrence Nunn cost Pitt the game, didn't he? What do you want? 

Isaiah Fluellen - who's been hurt - and I don't think he's played yet, has 
he? He probably has the speed, though.

You mentioned the ONE word that defines the offensive - "consistently". 
Unfortunately, at this point, there doesn't appear to be anyone doing 
things consistently, eh?

That's all dependent upon whether or not we keep winning games. 

It's time to point out (like last year) that Bill Callahan needs to show 
improvement this year, but this is NOT a firing year. You might think if 
the heat gets high enough something might happen but it will not. He seems 
to be playing this year to be getting his players more experience than he 
is in getting the best players on the field in their positions at all 
time. Hence, Grixby sometimes receiving punts instead of Nunn. I obviously 
can't read Callahan's mind, and perhaps there is another reason for what 
he's doing, it's just an observation.

Not everybody who lives in New Jersey or NY is a fan of the Jets or
Giants, or Al Michaels for that matter.  

My guess is quite a few people would have the same reaction people are having 
here seeing a 'name' get treated like an ordinary person by the cops.

I guess these days we can call that the Martha Stewart syndrome.  :-)

BTW, do people remember when the governor's girlfriend, Debra Winger, 
got ticketed for speeding, in the governor's official car no less!

The Huskers recruited five receivers in the 2005 class.  Of those, only 
Frantz Hardy, a JC teammate of Zac Taylor has contributed this season.  
Highly touted Chris Brooks was injured in the preseason and should see 
the field soon.  The three remaining WR recruits failed to qualify

Chris Brooks has seen some limited action this season. 

At least one, and perhaps two of the 2005 recruits will play TE. David Harvey is listed as a TE on the roster (there was some thought he might play DE); I believe he will redshirt this year. Justin Tomerlin (who has not yet been on the field, so far as I know) was recruited as TE/DE.  At one point, someone reported that he would play DE this year (that's how he's listed on the roster) and then TE. Does anyone have any further info on this guy? Is he going to redshirt?

Last week with all the Solich got wronged by Nebraska,
 and "Ohio's Going To Need A Bigger Stadium" stuff
going back and forth on the list, someone suggested
that the big red blob over southern Ohio on the ABC
Coverage Map was put there because of southern Ohio's
interest in the Solich drama.

This week someone thinks that Jay Leno or David
Letterman might use a Nebraska Redneck Cop joke
because Brent Mussburger got a ticket in Lincoln.

Are we so myopic as to think that anyone outside of
(our little group) of people really care about this
stuff?  I travel for my job.  Be assured that what
goes on regarding Nebraska Football, and affiliated
topics are of no interest to the rest of the country. 
Nobody cares............

We need to take a step back and realize that we've
always put too much importance on what goes on with
our football program.  

When we finally do climb back into the the national
mix as a football program, I will be sure to temper my
enthusiasm just a bit so as to maintain a healthy
perspective on where football fits into my life.

This reminds me of Necessary Roughness when the halftime theme
celebrated gun racks and open containers, which are only legal in Texas.


If Mushmouthburger was downing a few I really don't care and don't blame
him. After that game I was definitely downing them.

Texas has an open container law.  You cannot have an open container in
the passenger part of the vehicle.  That includes a whisky bottle that
has a top screwed on but the seal is broken. It's a fairly new law as I
recall.

So even in backwards Texas this is a law.  I agree -- Brent must have
been acting like a jerk to get the ticket.  And I also agree -- that
this is only going to be discussed on this list and other lists who are
amused by Mussberger getting a little come-uppance.  It really doesn't
concern me in the slightest, except that it's very amusing to me to
imagine the scene.

Possible rationalizations in the Husker Nation for letting Mussberger off:

Brent and his drink are a loving couple, and he?s committed to his quaff even
though it?s hard to drink in a moving automobile; the policeman was just making
a tough situation worse.

All of the accolades that Tommie Lee brought to UNL should not be jeopardized by
the negative press from an egregious crack down.

He asserted that he was about to pour his drink into the car?s fuel tank,
helping to wean us from foreign oil.  Why didn?t the officer listen?

There?s virtually no way that we?re going to get Brent to suit up as a
play-maker at a skilled offensive position now.

Giving Mussberger a $140 ticket will not help us run our coaches and AD out of
town, or pay for the new athletic complex.

Why pick on the poor guy?  He was just getting an early start to get juiced up
for the next time he has to call a game involving the Husker offense.

I don't know if I agree that a break away receiver is necessary for a good 
passing scheme. I was at BYU during the early 1980's (yes, when they stole a 
champ from NU), they NEVER had break away receivers. They seemed to do well 
with a good scheme. 

I am not going to give up on this team yet. The key to this type of offense 
is timing, just as it is with the option (Oh how I miss that). This team 
still does not have the timing and reads down. Also, from my BYU days; the 
key to running in this type of attack is the fear of the pass. Though I love 
the drive them off the ball offensive line play, that is not the forte of a 
passing team. For many passing teams, it is more important how a lineman 
drops back than if they can blow someone off the line. 

Now, don't get me wrong; I didn't like passing football in the 1980s and I 
would much rather watch the Huskers beat a team to death with the counter. 
But, NU is NU and I want them to win.

I think you're grossly overestimating how many people care about 
Mussburger or the fact that he got ticketed in Nebraska. I'd be shocked 
if this was mentioned on any national comedy show. Mussburger's minor 
legal problems are simply not a big deal to most people.

If NU beats ISU --- a ranked team --- to go 4-0, they will get vote(s).

If NU beats Texas Tech to go 5-0, I think they will be ranked or very close
to it.  I think many people peg Texas Tech as being much tougher than their
current ranking.  Look at difference between Sagarin's ranking and prediction

I believe most Husker fans as well as most fans in general have trouble
with the way that Brent seemingly decides at some point a team is an
underdog and then he seems to be for that team. With our past success,
Brent always gave the appearance of being anti-Husker when he was just
trying to be pro-underdog. I will have to disagree with his knowledge of
the state as he constantly mispronounced Millard. He pronounced the last
four letters like lard. That just annoyed me to no end. One final factor
in why there is such a hate-hate relationship with Mushmouthburger is
the fact that he has some announcing habits that can really annoy you.
So much so there's a drinking game out there that you play while Brent
is doing play-by-play. If Brent were to follow his usual adages for a
game and if you followed the rules of the drinking game you'd be out by
mid second quarter.

Wasn't that also the scheme drawn up by Norm Chow who then took it to USC? I know that is has been mentioned that BUY's offensive production went down after Chow left. Also, looking at USC, except for Mike Williams I really haven't heard of any of the USC receivers but they seem to do okay. Most of the USC receivers have what most WCO's need and that a big target to hit. I believe the Huskers are missing that more than a break away speedster. With Herrian, we had both but who knows if he'll be back this season.

I am not going to give up on this team yet. The key to this type of offense 
is timing, just as it is with the option (Oh how I miss that). This team 
still does not have the timing and reads down. Also, from my BYU days; the 
key to running in this type of attack is the fear of the pass. Though I love 
the drive them off the ball offensive line play, that is not the forte of a 
passing team. For many passing teams, it is more important how a lineman 
drops back than if they can blow someone off the line. 

Now, don't get me wrong; I didn't like passing football in the 1980s and I 
would much rather watch the Huskers beat a team to death with the counter. 
But, NU is NU and I want them to win.

When did BYU steal a champ from NU?  BYU won their
only NC 1984.  That year, the Huskers lost to Syracuse
by 8 and OU by 10.  NU finished 3rd in the UPI and 4th
in the AP.
Just curious.

I'll go one better, if we beat both ISU and Tech we WILL be ranked. That
being said, I'm not sure if we can beat both. This could be possibly the
two most important weeks coming up in Husker football. If we can't
correct our problems by the time ISU rolls around we'll lose one if not
both games.

If NU beats ISU --- a ranked team --- to go 4-0, they will get vote(s).

If NU beats Texas Tech to go 5-0, I think they will be ranked or very
close
to it.  I think many people peg Texas Tech as being much tougher than
their
current ranking.  Look at difference between Sagarin's ranking and

I've heard of the first one but I've never been able to confirm or deny
that he said it though my recollections tell me he very well may have.
I've never heard of his 'black-skinned storm troopers' crack but if he
did that's probably the most asinine statement of his life and he has
many of those types of statements.

For those that might dis Brent b/c of his mis-pronounciation of certain towns or names, I'd suggest this is akin to handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

Watching the Ravens-Titans game this past weekend (and ask Ravens fans if anemic offenses are confined to colleges with second year coaches), both announcers multiple times called our former/current Titan DE Kyle "VanBoschen".  It was painful and funny at the same time.

I believe most Husker fans as well as most fans in general have trouble
with the way that Brent seemingly decides at some point a team is an
underdog and then he seems to be for that team. With our past success,
Brent always gave the appearance of being anti-Husker when he was just
trying to be pro-underdog. I will have to disagree with his knowledge of
the state as he constantly mispronounced Millard. He pronounced the last

in why there is such a hate-hate relationship with Mushmouthburger is
the fact that he has some announcing habits that can really annoy you.
So much so there's a drinking game out there that you play while Brent
is doing play-by-play. If Brent were to follow his usual adages for a
game and if you followed the rules of the drinking game you'd be out by
mid second quarter.

I think you're grossly overestimating how many people care about 
Mussburger or the fact that he got ticketed in Nebraska. I'd be shocked 
if this was mentioned on any national comedy show. Mussburger's minor 
legal problems are simply not a big deal to most people.

Hi Steve,

I was talking about the passenger compartment, not the
driver's compartment.  I didn't mean to cause any
confusion out there in Husker List Land.

Since we are on Bye this week, I think its okay to
post on this off-topic event.

Sorry, I was going from memory on that list, and I was
incorrect.  They had drive-through daquiri shops in
New Orleans when I lived there, and they recently
changed the law.  Texas also had a change in the
recent past.

There are however, a number of states (AK, CT, MO,
etc) that allow passengers to drink in a moving car.  

Colorado was a little trickier, open container was
allowed but you weren't supposed to drink from it! 
That is weird.  July 1, they changed the law.

Back when Musberger was teamed with Dick Vermeil they were covering a NU game (I forgot the opponent) and the field reporter, Jack Arute, mentioned how the qb was jerking his head at the snap count to draw the defense offside. When he finished, Musberger said something like, "Ok, thanks Jack- speaking of being jerked off..." and he and Vermeil chuckled. At the time, I thought this was hilarious, but looking back it may have been in poor taste.

That's a myth.  I have a clip of that on my PC.  Musburger says:
"Frost to the midddddllllleeee....
juggled...diving..touchdown!"

Apparently some people heard "diving" as "darnit" or "dammit" but it's
very clear that he said "diving", and there is nowhere else in that play
or after he says anything disparaging.

I hate Musburger as an announcer, I don't think he's very good at it,
and I've heard from people who've dealt with him that he's a very
pompous ass, but this was a great call.  He stuck with the play all the
way rather than try to predict the outcome, and called it with great
excitement.  I think Sean is right on the mark with his comments, plus
BM tends to make up his own nicknames and stick with them.  I watched an
NC State game once and for the whole game he called them "Carolina
State".  I lived in and around Raleigh for 16 years and NOBODY calls it
that.  Or "Bucks" for "Buckeyes", "the freshman" and "the veteran"
running backs for Pitt (don't these guys have names?) and so on.  One of
the reasons that he mispronounces so many things is that spotters aren't
allowed to talk to him.  I heard that one spotter tried to correct a
pronunciation (might have been Millard) and the director cut him off and
told him in no uncertain terms that the spotter shouldn't talk to Mr.
Musburger, and that if he had a message to pass on to give it to him
(the director), and most of them probably don't make it to BM for
whatever reason.

If you listen to BM through the years he's usually quite complimentary
of Nebraska, I would say more so than most announcers.  That's my
opinion.  It's just that he's so grating, that if he does say something
bad it sticks with people.  But what he said on the Davison catch is
fact.

I've had never heard anything about the storm troopers remark, but a
google search confirms he did write that as a Chicago columnist.  So I
still don't like him.

It was 11-1 Washington who had the MNC stolen, not Nebraska.  Had BYU 
played any top-10 or even top-20 team, it's very unlikely they would 
have gone undefeated.

I for one believe that our offense will improve
dramatically when a few things are corrected and when
our timing is better.

Using the game experience from this year, coupled with
the bye week, I think we can look forward to a much
crisper, more effective offense on October 1st.

I disagree.

Washington had the opportunity to play BYU in a Bowl (very low paying
Holiday Bowl that the WAC was tied to at the time).  UW went instead
to the Orange Bowl where they beat OU.

Had UW played and beated BYU,  the would have had a  valid claim to the
MNC,  instead they went for the money.  BYU played and defeated a 6-5 
Michigan team instead.

I like it. It has corrected some call that would have
been controversial without slowing down the game too
much. So we can complain about the offense, but not
the officiating. 


BTW,
I wonder how many times a ball has hit the holder in
the back of the head and the play was not a loss?

what you state is not completely true.  i live in TX and just flew in and
out of Denver.  People in and around the Midwest DO care about what goes on
with NU and CNNSI has written many articles this year about anything from
how good we may be to how bad our offense sucks.  Are you telling me that
NMSU or Minnesota gets the same coverage?

Maybe they don't care in TN, but they do elsewhere.  Have you heard Woody on
ESPN now, ripping us any time he gets close to the subject of college
football?

sorry, just had to add my opinion.

true,  OU was ahead of UW, but BYU was ahead of both.  But from the 
previous year,  Miami at #4, Auburn, TX, and NU #1,  MIami leapfrogged
Auburn (TX lost) when they beat NU in the Orange Bowl.

Beating#1  means a lot to voters.

Hi Tommy,

This just in from the "grasping for straws" department...

I got to my local sports bar at the beginning of the second quarter....

As woeful as the offense was during the most of the game, it seemed to me the pass protection was pretty good, especially late in the first half.  Oftentimes it seemed like ZT was either a step or two off on his throws or just wasn't picking up the correct receiver, both of which are workable areas for shortterm development.  

However this seemed less true as the game went along.  Had this been a baseball game I could have sworn they were stealing our signals and knew which play we were going to run.

Back when Musberger was teamed with Dick Vermeil they were covering a NU
game (I forgot the opponent) and the field reporter, Jack Arute,
mentioned how the qb was jerking his head at the snap count to draw the
defense offside. When he finished, Musberger said something like, "Ok,
thanks Jack- speaking of being jerked off..." and he and Vermeil
chuckled. At the time, I thought this was hilarious, but looking back it
may have been in poor taste.

It is incredible how hard people will look at an extremely classy
response, turning down an interview with a complimentary and supportive
statement, to find something to critique.  When I read Dailey's
statement declining an interview, I thought what mature and generous
behavior it was, indicative of the reasons his teammates voted to have
him be a captain of the team.  If this questioning of such statements
is how Husker "fans" behave, perhaps they should be left off
intentionally, but I think only someone looking for things that aren't
there could find fault with Dailey's statement.  Sheesh!

Well said.  I can't believe anyone tried to spin that quote into a 
slight against the fans. The article doesn't indicate if he was asked 
about the fans, so why the hell should they be mentioned in his answer?  
Some people need a reality check.

(Subscriber link only; sorry.  You can probably also find this article
in the print version of today's Wall Street Journal.)

Allen St. John compares the records of coaches with professional
experience who have transitioned to college football head coaching,
beginning with Pete Carroll at U$C in 2001.    Based on what he found,
first- and second-year angst is not uncommon among schools who have
chosen pro coaches.

Here's his summary quote:

> The bottom line: Instituting a pro-style system takes time, requiring a
> smart scheme, plus the players to execute it. But when things take
> hold, look out.

and here are the composite records for these coaches, beginning before
the pro coach took over:

YEAR  W-L      WINNING %
Before  77-100  .435    (NU 10-3  /  .769)
Year 1  87-114  .433    (NU 5-6  /  .455)
Year 2  70-88    .443

I don't subscribe and so cannot view the article, but I note that
the number of games used to compute the winning percentage decreases
each year.  One reason that there are fewer games figured in year
4 than year 1 might be that unsuccessful coaches did not last to
year 4.  If that is the case, it would seem that ascribing the
increasing winning percentage with each successive year to
improvements made by the incoming coaches may be an incorrect
conconclusion.  It might be that the records didn't improve, but
the less successful coaches did not continue while the successful
coaches did continue.

I noticed that also.  The author explains that it is due to the fact
that his analysis starts in 2001, so only pro coaches hired that year
or thereafter are included.  (Surely there were pro coaches in the
college ranks before then?  None come immediately to mind, though.)

Iowa St., at least early against Army is showing that they can be run on.  
Army so far has had 2 turnovers, but mounted a nice 80+ yard drive.
 
Could be just a matter of the Clones needing to settle down or showing some  
holes in their defense and quite possibly looking ahead to Oct 1st! 
 
Hmmm, wonder what the Husker coaching staff is doing tonight?   :)

Another contributor could just be experience gained with a new
system.  For example, what was the trend (if any) among new coaches
who had *not* come from the pros?

I'll one-up you on this one. ISU just got scored on by Army on a
decent drive to go down 21-14. They aren't stopping Army too well (20
- 9 first downs in favor of Army). Watching this makes me think we
might be in for another sub-20 total point game. I'd take the under,
pretty much no matter what Vegas puts out next week.

At this point, the running back for Army has more yards then ISU does
as a whole (ISU has only 130 total yards with :21 left in the 3rd)

It should be a tough game next week.  I'm beginning to wonder if the
Iowa game was just more rivalry than how good ISU really is.  I don't
think they're bad, but squeeking by Illinois St and losing to Army
late doesn't show me much (not that NU has either).

I was worried that this game wasn't even going to be winnable, but
now I think we have a chance.  They'll prolly still be favored, but it
will be a tough fight.

Gee, I seem to have spawned quite a discussion about BYU on the NU list.
Honestly that wasn't my intent.
 Yes, Norm Chow was the Offensive Coordinator at BYU when the won the MNC.
In my opinion, Norm Chow deserves a great deal of the credit for the
accomplishments during that time. Had he not been dissed by a racial slur
made by the then AD, things may have been very different.
 As to the stolen NC, NU was #1 going into the OU game that year. This is
the year following the NU Miami Orange Bowl. We had a good d, but the
offense was not as good. We were trailing OU 3-0 and drove down to have a
1st and 10 inside the OU 10 yard line with a few minutes left in the 4th
quarter. We couldn't put it in on four downs. On fourth down the I back
fumbled into the endzone in desperation. OU then broke a long run on the
next possession to finish with the 10 point lead.
 I broke a remote control on that game. My wife took years to tell me she
was rooting for OU so BYU could have a shot at the championship. Barry
Switzer started jawing that they should be #1 because he beat NU, then he
lost to Washington in the OB. (By the way, BYU then beat UW the next season
by 40 points).

Iowa St., at least early against Army is showing that they can be run on.  
Army so far has had 2 turnovers, but mounted a nice 80+ yard drive.
 
Could be just a matter of the Clones needing to settle down or showing some  
holes in their defense and quite possibly looking ahead to Oct 1st! 
 
Hmmm, wonder what the Husker coaching staff is doing tonight?   :)

After watching Iowa State struggle (to put it mildly) against Army tonight, I would be shocked if Nebraska did not win next week. Does anyone really think Army has anywhere near the talent Nebraska has? Let's put it this way- if Iowa State plays the way they did tonight against Nebraska and wins, Callahan should be fired the next day.

Once you start realizing that Kirk Ferentz and Pete
Carroll pretty much dominate those 4th year results,
the data becomes rather skewed.  Subtract Ferentz and
Carroll, and the other 4th year coaches only go 16-8
in their 4th year.

When you look at the history of college coaches, most
of them who don't even match the results of their
predecessors are usually fired somewhere between year
2 and year 4, and frequently in year 3.  (See Ron Zook
at Florida)

The service academies don't have the All-Americans or the huge linemen that  
most teams have, but they have more heart than most and they never quit.   
Army should have won last night.  The pathetic facemask call that  changed the 
entire flow of the game robbed the Cadets of what should have been a  great win.
 
Kudos to the Cyclones for taking advantage of the opportunity, but the  
Huskers should definitely win next week...if the offense can do  anything.

A lot of people had similar thoughts 2 weeks ago after
Ohio upset Pitt, and we know how THAT went.  Does
anybody think that Ohio has anywhere near the talent
Nebraska has?

However, after watching Iowa struggle against Ohio
State, perhaps we are giving Iowa State too much
credit, especially in light of the 'Clones
performances against Illinois State and Army.

Good Evening All:

What a slow day on the list, lots of good games on TV today though and we've had ours on since 11:00 this morning. 

Probably the best game of the bunch was Michigan at Wisconsin, glad to see Coach Alvarez get a win over Lloyd Carr. Also watched Colorado/Miami and was a little disappointed that Colorado showed so poorly, I was also surprised that Iowa lost as badly as they did at Ohio State. For Roger & Ryan in the Cities the Gophers pulled out a nice 2 OT win over Purdue at the Dome. 

Enough of this discussion of other teams I better talk about Nebraska somehow or I'll be trouble, so here goes:

Anyone wishing to attend the NU/Missouri game in Columbia on October 22nd who does not have tickets I have four of them available. The tickets are $55 each and they will be located in the visitor's (Nebraska) allotment so you'll be sitting with Nebraska fans if you are so inclined. 

Drop me a note off the list and we'll get something arranged, now I've got to get back to the USC/Oregon game.

Have a good night everyone-

Message-ID: <000001c5c1eb$84efcab0$b65a7418@Gateway>

Fellow Husker list posters:

 

This post is not directly Husker related and I apologize in advance for
that.  However, I though some of you might be interested in this
information.

 

Many of you may remember a former Husker List poster, Trent Woodruff.
He and his family are currently stationed at Kessler Air Force Base in
Biloxi, Mississippi.  Their on-base home was destroyed by Hurricane
Katrina.  Trent?s wife (Wendy) and two children were evacuated to
Madison, where they have been living with his father and mother for the
past 2 ? weeks.  Trent?s daughter, Melissa enrolled in our high school
as a junior and is currently playing softball for our HS team. 

 

 Yesterday, Wendy received word that they will be able to move back to
Mississippi on Wednesday of this week!  We were at a softball tournament
in Wayne when she received the word from Trent.  The tears of joys that
followed were a beautiful sight for all of us present.

 

Later during the day, the team and parents were eating at a local
restaurant in Wayne.  Also in the restaurant was Matt Herian, who was in
town to see his younger sister play volleyball.  Wendy politely asked
Matt if he would consider taking a picture with her to send back to
Trent.  Matt was very gracious and agreed to do this. What a great day
for the Woodruff family!

 

If you look in today?s editorial section of the OWH, you will find a
story about Hurricane Katrina written by Trent?s daughter Melissa!  I
know we are all concerned with the current state of Husker FB, but this
situation puts things back into the proper perspective for me!  We are
all so lucky to have what we have!

I suspect that's more of an indication of how bad a bunch of other teams
are doing, like Oklahoma, Michigan, Louisville, Iowa and Oregon.  

It's not hard for be to believe that one or two voters decided Nebraska
didn't look so bad after all.  

Last week Oklahoma dropped out of the top 25 for the first time since 
1999, this week Michigan dropped out of the top 25 for the first time 
since 1998.  Iowa State's lucky they stayed in the poll, not to mention 
lucky they escaped from West Point.  Anybody think the Cyclones could
beat Oklahoma or Michigan?  Not I!

Right now the team I'd least want to face is Virginia Tech.  USC may have
similar thoughts in, oh, about 14 weeks.  USC-Notre Dame could be a 
meaningful game for the first time in what, about 30 years?  

Texas will find a way to foul up their ranking, as they always seem to do.

What? We didn't play? I heard we did play, and the
Blackshirts shut out the opponent, but the offense
couldn't score. How is that any different than any

I'm really hoping our guys get their act together and

Incidentally, I think Musburger made a brief "under the radar" comment
about his open container ticket in Lincoln last week, while doing the
Colorado/Miami game.  Essentially, they were talking about the "weird"
game they watched the week before in Lincoln... And Musburger came back
and said, "Actually a lot of strange things happened in Lincoln last
week." To which they both laughed.  

Anyway, I think that's as big as this thing is going to get.

This is a hard game to predict.

Up untill this weekend,  I figured ISU by 7.

However they did not look spectacular against Army.  Their win over
Iowa has really been tainted (cause Iowa looks really bad). 

ISU's D can be run on.  But then last years could too & It did not help. 
I think this is a winnable game, though the next 2 weeks we will see if
the D has really turned the corner.

I thought about betting (albeit, not the house) on NU against Wake
Forest, with the line less than a touchdown, but I'm not a gambler
and so passed up what I thought was easy money.

Anyone betting the house on ISU is too focused on NU's struggles
and not giving ISU the same scrutiny.  I don't feel as confident
about this one, but I still like NU at home.  The home field
advantage is figured to be worth 3+ points, so the teams are being
assessed as being nearly equal.

ISU has three wins:

	32-21 over Illinois St. (3-1) at home
	23-3 over Iowa (2-2) at home
	28-21 over Army (0-3) away

Iowa beat Ball State and Northern Iowa, but were beaten soundly
at Iowa State and blown away at Ohio State.  NU beat Pitt 7-6.
Matthews has Iowa at #63 with an 89.35pt rating and Pitt at #76
with an 85.44 rating, so these are comparable opponents.  ISU's
win looks several TDs better.

Army has lost badly at Boston College, to Baylor at home, and
Iowa State at home.  NU beat Wake Forest 31-3.  Matthews has
Army at #110 with an 79.11pt rating and Wake Forest at #90 with
an 82.53pt rating.  NU's win looks several TDs better.

Iowa State's top two opponents average #86.5 and 84.23pts and
NU's top two opponents average #83 and 83.99pts.  ISU's average
margin of victory in these two games was 13.5 and NU's margin
of victory in these two games was 14.5.  These games look to
have the two teams about even.

Illinois State's 3 wins are against Drake, at Eastern Illinois,
and Murray State.  Is that better than NU beating Maine 25-7?

Based on records to date this season, this looks like a tossup
with the advantage to NU at home.  Personally, I like taking the
home team with the better defense --- NU has given up an average
of 5.33pts per game while ISU has given up an average of 15pts
per game for a comparable schedule.  ISU gave up 3 TDs to its
two weakest opponents and gave up 20 first downs to Iowa (despite
5 Iowa turnovers) and 23 first downs to Army.  NU has given up an
average of fewer than 15 first downs per game.  ISU has given up
an average of more than 18 first downs per game.

In looking at these records, I just don't see any reason ISU should
be favored in Lincoln.

IMHO, part of the reason ABC waits until then to release the coverage map 
(they used to release it on Tuesday) is it gives people less time to lobby 
their local stations to carry game 'X' instead of game 'Y'.  

Or maybe that gives people more time to lobby their local stations BEFORE 
the coverage map comes out, making ABC look less stupid than if they 
have to change the coverage map after it's announced?

The football season got a bit crazier tonight.  LSU blew a 21-0 lead 
(that should have been more like 28-0), losing to Tennessee in overtime.

Well, after LSU gave up a 24-7 lead, and TN could do nothing in the first 
half, I imagine that they're not saying very nice things about him 
today!!!!

TN missed a number of wide open receivers. At least once due to a blitz, 
but at least once TN's fullback dropped a TD pass. TN played really ugly 
offensively until late in the game.

it didn't look like there was any sort of receiver in the area, and the

Chalk it up to the refs seeing something they're not used to, and 
turning off their brains.  It's similar to the 49ers/Giants playoff game 
in 2002, where a similar botched field goal turned into a last-ditch 
pass, and in all the commotion, the refs missed a pass interference 
call.  The NFL even admitted a mistake had been made - 
http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs02/s/2003/0106/1487933.html.

In fairness, my intial reaction after the first field goal attempt 
failed was "we won."  When teams only ever seem to kick field goals on 
4th down or when time is running out, you don't see too many teams get a 
second chance.  But at the same time, this is clearly a play that should 
have been reviewed for a couple reasons:

1.)  To see if there was an eligible receiver within striking distance 
of that pass.
2.)  To see if there was actually 1 second left on the clock (I've heard 
from many people that time should have run out, although I have yet to 
see the video since I was at the game)

With such a bizzare play, I can understand missing both calls the first 
time around.  However, neglecting to use instant replay to get it right 
defeats the entire purpose of implementing such a system.

Have you ever officiated in any sport?  It's tough to come up with the
correct call and proper rule every time, especially instantaneously.  

I would have to review the rulebook on the NCAA site (and I don't have 
enough asprin on hand to do that today), but I think there might be 
different 'intentional grounding' rules in effect on place kick attempts.  

I though I heard Bill Callahan say something on his TV show that implied
he thought 'ineligible receiver downfield' should have been called, 
not intentional grounding.  I'm not sure if that was the right call, either.

It's kind of funny, but the TV announcers always get these calls right,
in advance.  When a team waits until 4th down to kick the field goal,
the criticize the coach for not kicking on 3rd down, in case something
goes wrong with the snap.  When a team kicks before 4th down and something 
goes wrong with the snap, then they can criticize the officials.

Unlikely that roughing the passer applies as if the ball is fumbled on the snap to the passer (it is a judgment call here in that the ball never hit the ground but deflected off the holders helmet), the ball carrier is pretty fair game.  Same applies to the punter when the ball is fumbled by the punter or the snap hits the ground and then the punter is live and roughing the kicker no longer applies.
 
Also please remember the position of officials on field goal attempts is different that typical plays from scrimmage which also yields difficulty in accounting for receivers and the intentional grounding decision.
 
I was less concerned about the lack of the call than I was with our clock operator.  The cynic in me thinks that if it was Notre Dame or Texas playing at home that the clock would have run down to zero in similar situations.  I do not know (maybe someone does) who the clock operator would be keying on in this situation.  If it is the head referee, I would think there would be some elapsed time between a field or back judge signaling incomplete and the head referee then signaling the same.  In football unlike basketball, there is typically some time lapse of stopping the clock after an incomplete pass hits the turf and when the clock is actually stopped.  In basketball, for instance, the clock operator usually is looking at the raised hand of the referee to stop the clock after a stoppage of play.
 
I did some officiating for HS football long ago when we had only 4 officials to work a game.  I can not envision a crew being able to account for everything that was going on during the second to the last play of NU-Pitt and I would bet that there is probably a fairly likely chance that a crew of 7 could not either.

I was at that game, and when they didn't review that play, I wasn't sure 
if it was reviewable per the rules they've set up. But looking at the 
instant replay rules at the Big 12 site (at 
http://www.big12sports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/footbl-instant-replay
.html), it's possible that both were valid reasons to review.

Plays that MAY be reviewed with the use video replay:
1. Plays governed by sideline, goal line and end line:
a) Scoring plays, including a runner breaking the plane of the goal line.
b) Pass complete/incomplete/intercepted at sideline, goal line and end 
line.
c) Runner/receiver in or out of bounds. 
d) Recovery of loose ball in bounds. 
2. Passing Plays:
a) Pass ruled complete/incomplete/intercepted in the field of play and 
end zones.
b) Touching of a forward pass by an ineligible receiver. 
c) Touching of a forward pass by a defensive player. 
d) Quarterback (passer) forward pass or fumble (if ruled incomplete, the 
play is finalized). 
e) Illegal forward pass or illegal handing beyond the line of scrimmage. 
f) Illegal forward pass or illegal handing after change of possession. 
g) Forward or backward pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. 
3. Other detectable infractions:
a) Runner ruled not down. 
b) Forward progress errors with respect to first down. 
c) Touching of a kick. 
d) Number of players on field. 
e) Clock adjustments.
f) Fourth-down/try fumble plays. 
Plays that MAY NOT be reviewed with the use of video replay:
1. Holding.
2. Offside/encroachment.
3. Pass interference.
4. Personal fouls (e.g., late hits). 
5. Illegal blocks. 
6. Illegal formations.
7. Face mask. 
8. Taunting/excessive celebration. 
9. False starts. 
10. Roughing the passer/kicker. 
11. Fighting participants.

The pass itself wasn't illegal.  I don't see 'ineligible receiver 
downfield' or 'intentional grounding' on that list.  As I recall, the 
ball wasn't touched by anybody, so 'touched by an ineligible reciever' 
would not appear to apply.

What situation would apply?

I'm curious to know if the snapped ball hitting the holder in the head and
being caught by the kicker qualifies as a fumble.  It isn't a pass yet, 
so it isn't a tipped pass.  

Has anyone ever seen a Division 1A game stopped while the officials 
consult the rulebook?

I disagree that the clock operator did anything wrong.  Had time expired
I think the officials could have reviewed THAT.

I am getting so tired of people taking cheap shots at
the new staff every time someone posts something about
former coaches.  What does last years game have to do
with LSU getting beat last night?  
The are gone.  Get over it and support your team.  I
may not like what has happened at NU over the last few
years, or some of the decisions that the coaches are
making, however, they are Huskers now and I am behind
them.
Move on.

Just for the sake of fairness, one could argue that
the motive of the original post was to take a shot at
the former coaches.

I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame
today in Cooperstown, New York.  

While there, I looked up Hall of Fame members who were born in
Nebraska.  I recognized only two names, and I didn't write down the
list!  

There are a total of 5 Baseball Hall of Famers (through 2005
inductees) that were born in Nebraska.  

Can you name them?  (Warning, I really didn't write the list down and
don't remember all five myself!)

Wade Boggs
Richie Ashburn
Bob Gibson
Sam Crawford
Art Vance
Grover Cleveland Alexander

In the future there will be one (out of North Dakota) that played for the 
same Junior Legion Team I played for in Jamestown, North Dakota: Darin 
Erstead. I actually played against Roger Maris in his last year and my first 
year of Legion ball.

According to the Baseball Encyclopedia, Dazzy Vance was born in Orient, 
Iowa, in 1891.  The family moved to Webster County, Nebraska, in 1898.

The Orient Iowa website says that according to his family bible, his 
birthname was really Charles Arthur Vance.  He reversed that to Arthur 
Charles Vance as a young man and was using Arthur C. Vance when he finally
made it to the majors (after a brief stay a few years earlier) at the 
age of 31.  Despite his late start, he still had over 2000 strikeouts in 
his major league career.

A reporter from St. Louis asked him what the 'C' stood for and he answered 
'Clarence', and was stuck with that for the rest of his life.  

My (old) copy of the Baseball Encyclopedia lists him as Clarence Arthur 
(Dazzy) Vance.

The Baseball Hall of Fame has him as Arthur Charles (Dazzy) Vance.

Yep I am the ripe age of 65. My first year in Legion Ball was 1954 or 55, we 
were State Champs for 4 years: I think Roger would be 69 if he were still 
alive. You could be right about him playing for KC as it was so long ago I 
don't remember where he went. I guess I will have to check out the Hall Of 
Fame on him as it is unbelievable he is not there. There always was an 
asterisk after his name because he played a longer season then Babe Ruth 
did.

I believe Roger was born in Fargo, ND and went to High School there. If I 
remember correctly he played for the Catholic HS there.

Dick Karre responded that Vance was born in Orient, IA but he is listed in 
the Hall of Fame as being from Nebraska: you tell me why.

I hope Darin excels as it would great to say that one of my Alumni made it.

Who is Art Vance? He isn't in the Hall of Fame whether born in Nebraska or
not. The other five are correct. You must be a real old guy if you played
with Roger Maris. I saw him play when he was a member of the Kansas City
Athletics at Municipal Stadium in Kansas City. That was in 1958 or 1959 and
I was 10 or 11 years old. Unbelieveably, Maris is not in the Hall of Fame.
Was he born in North Dakota? If so he would be the only Hall of Famer to be
born in North Dakota. As much as I like Erstad, I don't believe he has Hall
of Fame stats.

Art (Dazzy) Vance was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers
in 1955.  He received 205 votes on 251 ballots.

Roger Maris never got more than 30% on any ballot, possibly because he 
was never all that popular with the press, or with the fans in NY.   

His career was also shortened by injuries and it is unlikely that the 
Veterans Committee will consider his 1961 season, great as it was in a 
dead-ball era, enough to qualify him for enshrinement.  

Ron Santo isn't likely to make it either, and he was the clean-up hitter
in a terrific lineup for the Cubs in the mid-60's, when you could pencil in 
over half of the Cubs starting lineup in February:  Kessinger, Beckert, 
Williams, Santo, Banks, and Hundley in the #8 spot.  (The rest of the 
lineup is better forgotten.)

Williams and Banks are in the Hall (Ernie should be there twice), but not 
the Pizza Man.

A career .260 hitter with 275 home runs really isn't Hall of Fame material,
no matter how good (and historic) that one season was. This is, of course,
Husker-related because Darin Erstad is from North Dakota, as was Maris. ;-)

Maybe not to consult the rule book but to consult with
each other to make sure they had the call right...
Yes. I have seen this at all levels of play, from Jr.
High to the pros. Both before and after replay. I do
agree though that the only thing that could have been
reviewed would have been the clock.

Out of fairness, they both deserve it at this point in the season. Bill 
Callahan deserves the criticism he gets until the offense starts 
producing. Let's hope that happens against ISU this weekend, because one 
offensive TD isn't going to cut it against them. 

Last year, Ross had 7 carries for 77 yards in the first half, and had we 
run the ball more could have won the game. Callahan needs to take what the 
defenses are giving him, not what he solely wants to run because he needs 
to feel some bizarre pleasure over watching a certain play executed well. 
At some point, he has to realize that he needs to win games and this 
weekend would be a damned good start for him to get those thoughts in his 
head.  We'll know on the first punt return, whether it's Nunn or Grixby, 
as to how he's going to operate this season. 

And Bo Pelini's team gave up a 21 point lead to lose. He deserves any 
criticism he gets as well. I still believe he's vastly overrated as a 
defensive coordinator. That's not because he's a former Nebraska coach. 
It's because I can't recall a big game in which his defenses have 
performed well, and in the case of LSU, he had a large cushion to work 
with. 

With regards to Texas Tech and Cosgrove - I don't blame a defensive 
coordinator for getting shellacked when they come up against Mike Leach 
for the first time. Look at what Leach and his offense did to Cal in last 
year's bowl game for an example. I remember watching a video of the TT 
game and we had so many guys out of position, it was clear that the 
defense didn't know what they were doing anyway.

This is a really crappy analysis.  With respect to the Tennessee game,
the 21 point lead was due largely to LSU shutting out a top-ten
opponent during the first half and scoring a defensive TD.  LSU's
defense held Tennessee to 7 points through 3 quarters (and matched that
with a defensive TD).  However, for the game, LSU's offense had only
13 first downs, 256 total yards, 2-13 on third-down conversions, and
3 turnovers.  One of the turnovers gave LSU the ball at the Tennessee
2 midway through the fourth quarter and LSU converted for a decisive
touchdown.  Discounting that TD, during regulation, LSU's defense
essentially gave up 17 points and scored 7 points on defense against a
top-ten team.  If the defense only needs an 11 point margin from the
offense and loses, the loss is due to something other than the defense
not performing well.

As for Pellini's defenses, at NU, he took over the defense with problems
after a 6-5 season and produced a defense that contributed greatly to
a 10-3 season --- with big game wins over Oklahoma State, Texas A&M,
Colorado in Boulder, and Michigan State in the Alamo Bowl.

And let us not forget that the game turned from a shellacking to a slaughter
because Callahan put an obviously unprepared Beau Davis in the game and left
him in for four (or was if five?) interceptions.

I don't think that delay of game would be right.  MANY teams have rushed the field after they thought time had expired, but they are never called.  I'd have to watch the replay again for the late hit, but I don't recall it.

It doesn't have to hit the ground.  Remember the Wake Forest game where 
Daniel Bullocks ripped the ball away from WF's tailback and returned it 
for a touchdown?

True enough.. 

I wondered if "hitting the ground" made any difference or, asked another way, if "fumbles that do not hit the ground" have fewer limitations.   e.g. if a QB had the ball stripped, and a RB recovered the ball before it hit the ground, could the RB pass it?  I doubt the RB could pass if the ball hit the ground (assuming the fumbling QB and the recovering RB were not over the line of scrimmage), but I could be wrong on that.

Btw, this is just an amateur's interpretation, it would seem to me since there can only be one forward pass per play, that if a batted ball happened to wind up back w/ the QB that the QB could not pass it a second time.

Once the quarterback has made an attempt to pass the ball, i.e., his arm
motion has gone forward, then it is considered a pass attempt. That is the
standard used by referees to determine if a quarterback fumbled the ball or
was attempting to pass it. The arm must be going forward.
 In the above example, if the ball is batted back to the quarterback and he
catches it, then it is considered a completed pass...to himself!
 If the quarterback drops (fumbles) the snap from center, he can still pass
the ball.

I don't think that's correct.  Only one forward pass is permitted in any
single play.  I didn't see anything in the NCAA rulebook that dealt with
whether the pass crosses the line of scrimmage or not.

As far as whether the rb can pass a fumble he can.
Remember NU using the bounce pass and then passing the
ball again. As long as the first pass is backwards, a
lateral by definition, it can be passed forward as
long as neither player has passed the line of
scrimmage while in control of the ball. Or something
like that.  And no the passer can not repass a ball
that has been batted back to him.

You are right. I went in and did some checking and he is included in the 
Nebraska Hall of Fame not the National.

He is listed as being from Hastings, NE.

No offense to the NCAA but how can they deem this play illegal? Whether
the ball hits the ground or not as long as it goes backwards it should
be considered a lateral and thus a forward pass would be legal. Just
because the Huskers bounced the ball to the passer, in this case Rozier,
it shouldn't be illegal. Common sense has left the NCAA!

I never heard that the NCAA made that play illegal,  however I 
do know that the fumblerooski (also used in 82) was now
made a penalty. That was the play where the center, on 
the snap, placed the ball behind the guard,  the QB and RB
ran fakes the guard, picked up the ball and ran.

Haven't read anything lately so I don't know any context. 
But that might be due to the experience some of the pitchers
have with the opponents that Bingham doesn't.  Some players
have great "baseball" minds, for others it's a lot harder. 
My guess is that he may experiment with it before the
conference part of the season begins.  If they struggle with
calling their own game, it probably will be the end of it
for that pitcher.

BTW, Gordon seems to be getting closer to signing with KC.

1) Regarding a previous thread, Irving Fryar threw the Bouncerooski pass, 
not Rozier. 

2) Has any one seen the coverage map for the weekend? I will be stuck at 
Boone Pickens Stadium until 4:30, might get to watch the last half of 
NU-ISU if its shown in OK.

 Did they really make it illegal?  I wonder what part of it.  Every now
and then I still see a QB throw a backwards pass to a WR, who can then
throw it downfield--that's just one forward pass.  If the WR drops the
ball (maybe even intentionally, like Gill intentionally drilled the ball
into the ground to Fryar), can he pass it again?  What's really the diff
between that and the bounce pass?  Maybe its been longer than I think
since I've seen it.

That was still one of my favorite plays of all time.  Gill threw a
perfect bounce pass, Fryar (not Rozier) caught it and played the fake
just like he should have to act like it was incomplete, and then a great
pass and catch from Fryer to Krenk.  The only part that didn't work is
that OU wasn't fooled!  They still came hard at Fryar, and Krenk had two
guys on him.  But with the great execution the play still worked for 30+
yards!

Subject: [Husker] forward pass
Message-ID: <1128017828.433c2fa43754d@webmail.inebraska.com>

If the QB catches his batted ball, the result was not a forward pass because the
ball did not land downfield of where it was thrown, and he can keep trying to
project it until it does so, as long as it hits either a defender or an
eligible receiver.  Perhaps Zack Taylor could do this a couple times to help to
bring his completion percentage up.

Are the Blackshirts going to be able to corral a mibile, athletic QB with tall
receivers against ISU?  Palko was able to complete a 73 yard and two 26 yard
passes while being sacked 4 times.

-------------------------------
Once the quarterback has made an attempt to pass the ball, i.e., his arm motion
has gone forward, then it is considered a pass attempt. That is the standard
used by referees to determine if a quarterback fumbled the ball or was
attempting to pass it. The arm must be going forward.
 In the above example, if the ball is batted back to the quarterback and he
catches it, then it is considered a completed pass...to himself!
 If the quarterback drops (fumbles) the snap from center, he can still pass the
ball.

1.  The NCAA rulebook is very clear that only one forward pass can be attempted
    in a play.  It makes no difference whether it cross the line of scrimmage
    or not, whether it is deflected in any fashion, nor whether it is caught 
    by a member of the passing team, including the person who threw it, or 
    intercepted by the defense.  

2.  I thought the bouncearooski was outlawed but I don't have the NCAA
    rulebook onscreen at the moment.  However, I think I saw a reference
    to an 'intentional fumble' in it the other day, which may be how the 
    NCAA made that illegal.

Hi All!

I got the map to open up right away but I have Photoshop on my machine as I
use that for all my websites. You have to at least have Adobe Reader to pull

the cable here won't carry it, but we can get it on our big dish.

I tried saving it as a jpg and then changing the resolution & running
various sharpening functions but while it made it larger I could not get the
town names to come up clearly. I guess they figure that if you see your
state you will know what game you are going to get.

only after doing the save link target as...

One would think they could put out a better quality PDF
file, especially since it's 807 KB.  None of the
station/city writing is legible.  Makes me wonder why they
even bother.

against the Cowboys...

  I think his knee injuries will be a bigger factor in whatever his NFL
fortunes are than his late signing status. The Rams were not really
expecting him to play this year anyway, anticipating a year-long rehab.

As opposed to players who formerly played for XXX, of whom all are angels. 


Having an offensive lineman with anger management issues is not of a 
concern to the NFL. I believe they'd prefer it this way.

and they just returned a punt for a TD.  Nothing special about the special
teams at Pitt, I guess.

That win against Pitt is looking more unimpressive by the minute.
