I'd like to be the first to post a Husker-related topic in 2006, at 
least on this subject.       :-)

Among the Alamo Bowl trivia, I noticed several interesting items 
relating to Husker player participation. Even though I follow the 
players' ups and down with a degree of attention, I found some items 
fascinating.

1) Cody Glenn, Brandon Jackson, Harrison Beck, Mark Le Flore, Mike 
Stuntz, Isiah Fluellen, Wali Muhammed, and Lydon Murtha didn't put in 
an appearance all evening. Marlon Lucky had one (1) play from 
scrimmage aside from kickoff return duties.

2) Freshman Leon Jackson played a little as did redshirt frosh 
placekicker Jake Wesch, frosh WR Christ Brooks, frosh linebacker 
Philip Dillard [thought they were going to get him a medical RS), 
redshirt frosh defensive end Ty Steinkuhler, frosh linebacker Nick 
Covey, soph strong safety Ben Eisenhart, redshirt frost defensive end 
Adam Blankenship, and soph defensive end Kevin Luhrs. Most of these 
are relatively unknown, and I imagine most played on kicking teams.

3) I have no idea what conclusions, if any, can be drawn from the foregoing.

Murtha played. Watch one of the sacks.

Glenn hurt his leg in practice a couple days before the game.

Callahan said Stunz was on the kickoff team on that last kickoff.

Muhammed was suspended for the game and went down on his own dime.

Apparently Corey's ability at pass protection set him apart from all the
other backs. 

Remember how excited we were about our 4 star Mark LeFlore? I was hoping
Gilmore could do something with him, but apparently not.

Fluellen, Steve, do you want to remind us about sprinter's hamstrings?

Ditto on Sean's comments.  Living in Tennessee, I get a daily dose of Vol ball, whatever season it may be.  They're very quiet this year, though.  Very rare to find a Vol fan that shows any disrespect for our program, mostly they just hate Florida, Alabama, Steve Spurrier and Coach Fulmer, depending on the direction of the wind.

Before and during the game, I was not impressed with
the Michigan fans. Several times a couple of them ran
up to our section and tauted us. After the game,
however, they were very quiet ;) They are not as bead
as KSU, CU, Tennnessee, or Miami fans, but I didn't
care for their antics.

Why doesn't NU have a kicker who can put kickoffs in the endzone?
It was a major issue in this game and has been a failing all year?

Texas or USC?
UT.  Big 12 and no three-Pete.
 
Notre Dame or Ohio St.?

ND.  I like Weiss.  Another great place to watch a
game.  I will never forget how many of us made the
trip to South Bend and seeing all of that red in their
stadium.  Hearing the "Go Big Red" chant under the
stadium before the game, I could not hear the guy next
to me talking.
 
FSU or Penn St.?

Penn St.  I respect Paterno.  Can't stand Bowden or
FSU.  There are only two games in the last 25 years
that I thought the Huskers got robbed.  PSU 1982 and
the OB vs FSU in 1994.  The later hurt worse.  

 
West Virginia vs. Georgia?

UGa.  One of the best places to watch a game is
between the hedges at Sanford Stadium.  Plus, Dog fans
down here treat us pretty good.
 
Wisconsin vs. Auburn?
UW.  Barry is an alum.

Texas Tech vs. Bama?
TTU.  Big 12.  That is the only reason.

 
Iowa vs. Florida?
Toss up here.  I love to watch UF lose.  I am in Gator
country and most Gator fans around here think they
only lose when they get screwed by the refs.  They
think they are THE program in the nation.  Iowa fans
are nasty.
Iowa  2-0 in OT.
 
Virginia Tech vs. Louisville?
The Ville.  Petrino used to coach for the Jags.

about 3 seconds from being undefeated.  FSU was one game away  from the Alamo 
Bowl.

West Virginia vs. Georgia?

A safety in OT would be, shall we say, unusual. That said, Doug Flutie drop kicked an extra point today. First time that's happened in the NFL since 1941 so you never know. : - )

I'm trying to figure out just how that's possible. Let's see. UF throws an
interception. The Iowa player runs the other way, only to fumble just short
of the goal line. A UF player picks it up in the field of play, retreats
into the end zone, and gets tackled for a safety. That's the best I can do.
And would Iowa then have to run its four plays?

Certainly hope not.

 On his last show of the season last night he was very relaxed, said he 
really likes it here and was very impressed by the 1500 fans who met them at

Good Morning All:

As Roger pointed out this morning on "WCCO's Morning News w/Dave Lee" there was a discussion on one of the sports segments about Bill Callahan's name surfacing in the Vikings coaching search. The person speculating on this was Mike Max the afternoon Sportstalk host on WCCO in Minneapolis. 

While I do not want to see him gone I actually think this might be a pretty good position for Callahan to make a comeback in the NFL. The Vikings talent level has improved under Mike Tice markedly since 2001. Without Al Davis to micromanage every move, Callahan might do OK, plus the media in Minneapolis/St. Paul is nothing like the media in the San Francisco Bay area. 

As for KLIN, rumor is out that KLIN (or the owners of KLIN) might be considering dropping the Pinnacle Network when their (KLIN's) contract runs out sometime this year. If this happens it might be interesting to see who lines up in Lincoln to carry the Husker broadcasts. It's a well known fact that KFAB covers Lincoln signal wise as well as or better than the local Lincoln stations do day or night. 

One has to wonder if perhaps Clear Channel (owner of KFAB and several FM's in Omaha and Lincoln) might just up for the rights on one of their FM stations in Lincoln and then have KFAB carry Sports Nightly, Football, Men's & Women's Basketball, Volleyball and Baseball. Then have their FM in Omaha (KHUS) that currently carries the Husker football games continue to do so and then add one of their FM's in Lincoln carry football only. 

This arrangement would allow for them to package certain media buys on all three stations, and the entire broadcast (insertion of commercials etc) could then be controlled from KFAB in Omaha.

Callahan knows the difference between NCAA and NFL coaching now, and I'd like to
know which he thinks is easier or more rewarding, or both (e.g., Al Davis vs
Pederson/Perlman).  At the Vikes he wouldn't have all of the recruiting,
practice, and gesture/phrase restrictions, but it wouldn't be a pleasure cruise
either.

I just heard Bill Callahan's name mentioned as a possible successor to Mike Tice
as Vikings coach.  Callahan was mentioned along with SEVERAL potential
candidates as the sportscasters speculate on Tice's successor.

Have felt pretty much the same way, Jay...Can't say I've read ALL the

bowl game with family, some of whom seemed pretty casual about even
turning it on...

I take heart in the future after seeing the kind of effort the team
expended. It's been a long time since NU used the pass to set up the run
('73 ??) but whatever works...

Interesting in reading Babcock's "Stadium Stories" which was a gift from
my mom, to be reminded by the author that Osborne really WAS a "pass guy"
compared to Duffy Daugherty and the Bobfather...and had to gradually
"learn" by seasons of hard knocks that he might have to change that
thinking.  Of course all those losses to OU may have had something to do
with that re-thinking  :)

I don't expect Callahan to leave for Minnesota (or Houston, which also
fired its coach yesterday), but I think it would be hilariously funny
if he became the first Husker head football coach since at least the 
1950's to leave Nebraska for greener pastures.  (And by greener, I mean $$.)

It wasn't Al Davis' micromanagement that cost Callahan his job and lead to 
a hellish season with the Raiders. He lost control of that team, and never 
got it back. If he took the Vikings job, one of his biggest 
responsibilities would be to control the team that went through the 
"Whizzinator" scandal, this season had several incidents with the law, and 
the "Love Boat" scandal. There were so many players involved in that last 
one that they can't possibility be gotten rid of in one season.

If I were Zygi Wilf, he wouldn't even be under consideration as I'd 
question his ability to manage this group of jackasses. Forget about their 
talent. For a considerable part of the season they were mentally lost.

I'm not sure I agree with that assessment.  One of the reasons that the
Raiders have trouble with their head coaches is that the players quickly 
learn that the coach doesn't call ANY of the important shots.  It's
hard enough coaching players who are earning much more than their
coach, having Al Davis watching every move (and overturning several of them)
can't help.  I know there are people who consider Al Davis a hero, I'm
not one of them, and I enjoy watching the Raiders lose almost as much
as I enjoy watching the Packers lose (especially to the Bears.)

FWIW, there are now 5 NFL vacancies, the Packers and the Rams canned their
coaches today and Dick Vermiel has retired in Kansas City.  I don't see 
Callahan as a good fit for the Packers (and the expectations by the fans 
in Green Bay may exceed those in Lincoln), and I suspect the Rams already 
have their options figured out, since they've effectively been without 
a head coach for months.  I'm not sure what the plans are in KC, but Vermeil's
retirement was not unexpected.

I  was at that game sitting in the UCLA student section (having just finished my master's degree there).  It was very discouraging but probably better for me that we lost.  I was getting a lot of flack until I actually stayed till the end of the game which made my hecklers give a little respect.

Callahan needs to lay these rumors to rest or it will effect recruiting at a
very key time. Unless they're not rumors. Maybe that's why he was smiling so
much leading up the bowl game. He already had been told he's going to be
hired by KC or the Rams. But I doubt it. I think he's here to stay for a
while, and, hopefully, he'll affirm that publicly. When Oregon's Mike
Belloti was mentioned for several jobs, including Notre Dame, he used it to
help recruiting by saying it was a compliment to be considered, but that no
job could match Oregon.

I doubt comments like mine on Nolan's members list will have much impact. I
never post on the recruiting boards where the recruits might be checking

very expressly cast doubt on Callahan leaving, while you said nothing about

I doubt it would have much impact on recruiting if you took out full-page
ads in the newspaper.  

I've never heard of even ONE recruit, for Nebraska or ANY OTHER SCHOOL,
changing his committment because of some comment he read on a fan board,

Sorry I mistook that as adding fuel to the fire. :) Didn't mean to single
you out - just selective about the posts I read.

If the Huskers continue their success, I assume that we can expect these
rumors everytime there is an opening - at least until he turns down 7 or 8
of them. The same thing happened to Stoops, Spurrier - woops.

Personally I think Paterno is the likely candidate, although I think we
should fuel the Stoops and Brown rumors.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'noise', but I count over 20 posts here
dealing with Frank's arrest.  It made big headlines in the papers and 
was well covered by the TV stations, too.

If Callahan got a rude reception it was in large measure due to the
lack of success in his first year, especially after the HUGE expectations 
placed upon him by Steve Pedersen's statement after firing Solich that 
the only acceptable level of performance is for Nebraska to compete for 
the national championship, a level that BC is still a bit away from,
though I think they may be ranked about 22 in the final polls later 
this week.

While I think many fans don't hold the decision to move to the WCO against 
BC personally, since that's the primary reason he was hired (over some 
option-offense-type coach), he didn't help himself by dissing (some would
say gutting) the walkon program the way he did.

There were 155 players on the roster for Frank Solich's final season.
There were 121 on the roster for the 2005 season.  

IMHO, it isn't a canard, the number of scholarship players cannot be more
than 85, so there must be fewer walkons than there were under the 
previous coach.

The canard isn't that there are fewer walk-ons, rather that the walk-on program was eliminated or that somehow the team is worse off and less competetive having a roster of 121 versus 155. 

A walk-on program is a vital part of any sucessful college football program - although I think that tightening up the program so that any Joe Schmoe off the street who can pass a basic physical and some agility tests (basically the qualifications under the previous program) doesn't automatically make the team as a walk-on isn't the horrific, program and tradition altering event that it has been painted as on this list and by some media outlets in Nebraska. I must have missed the memo when I was born that as a native Nebraskan I was somehow immediately entitled to be a Husker walk-on.

  Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't walk-ons have
to be invited or try out for the team?  NU has had
many walk-on players, who were not offered
scholarships to any big-time schools, turn out to be
very productive.  
  It bothered me when the walk-on program was reduced
because it was another part of the NU tradition that
was changed.  I also believe that if BC is going to
succeed, we must let him do things his way.  If that
means reducing the number of players on the team, then
okay.
  As for me, I have no problems with BC.  I was not
upset with the throat slashing gesture against OU.  I
saw it live and did not think it was meant in the
usual malicious manner.  I was glad to see him fired
up about some horrible non-calls.  My problem is with
SP.  His ego showed up at Pitt and has moved west.  I
do not like the way he handled the Solich firing/new
coach search (by himself) and he has made too many
changes.  
  I think most people on this list are willing to give
BC a chance but are ready for SP to go.

Message-ID: <20060103153806.82534.qmail@web50309.mail.yahoo.com>

  The 2005 Alamo Bowl was the highest rated sporting
event ever on ESPN.  Must have been because of
Michigan.  ;)

  I can not remember any bowl season where the
officials struggled as much as they have this year.  I
have watched every bowl game, except the Emerald Bowl,
and there have been so many calls that were
controversial.  

  The Cotton, Outback, and Alamo had to had the worst
officiating of all of them.  The boys who did the
Sugar Bowl last night struggled most of the night.


Question for the list:

  When a team calls a time-out and the officials
decide to review a play, reverse the call in favor of
the team that called the time-out, does that team get

college was different.  Last night, UGa called a
time-out, a play was reviewed and reversed in the Dogs
favor, then the official announced that UGa would not

Subject: [Husker] walk-ons and SP
Message-ID: <1136304030.43ba9f9e41dd6@webmail.inebraska.com>

A question.  How do you fire SP for bringing in BC and Keep BC?  How do you
accept the program that SP brought down from the Mountain and then toss him?
UNL is a package deal.  You only get to vote for regents and support it with
donations and tuition.

And perhaps the extra 33 walk-ons weren't up to SP's standards--his new level of
excellence.  Now, I would think that any move that will in any way isolate the
Nebraska fan base is poor judgment, and that is exactly what this and any other
perturbations in the force will do. The extra 33 players were a direct
connection to small-town Nebraska, but these aren't likely places to find
Reggie Bush or Vince Young, in that your chances are much improved by
recruiting a valley with 20 million people in it.

I would have to think that picking up a few good fullbacks and offensive linemen
as walk-ons was feasible when NU ran the option, but they may have been
available because other high tier programs were running a more pro-style
offense--not that they weren't good, just not in demand.

Derek
----------------------------------
The canard isn't that there are fewer walk-ons, rather that the walk-on program
was eliminated or that somehow the team is worse off and less competitive
having a roster of 121 versus 155.

A walk-on program is a vital part of any successful college football program -
although I think that tightening up the program so that any Joe Schmoe off the
street who can pass a basic physical and some agility tests (basically the
qualifications under the previous
program) doesn't
automatically make the team as a walk-on isn't the horrific, program and
tradition altering event that it has been painted as on this list and by some
media outlets in Nebraska. I must have missed the memo when I was born that as
a native Nebraskan I was somehow immediately entitled to be a Husker walk-on.

Go Big Red!

Jeff



  Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't walk-ons have to be invited or try out
for the team?  NU has had many walk-on players, who were not offered
scholarships to any big-time schools, turn out to be very productive.
  It bothered me when the walk-on program was reduced because it was another
part of the NU tradition that was changed.  I also believe that if BC is going
to succeed, we must let him do things his way.  If that means reducing the
number of players on the team, then okay.
  As for me, I have no problems with BC.  I was not upset with the throat
slashing gesture against OU.  I saw it live and did not think it was meant in
the usual malicious manner.  I was glad to see him fired up about some horrible
non-calls.  My problem is with SP.  His ego showed up at Pitt and has moved
west.  I do not like the way he handled the Solich firing/new coach search (by
himself) and he has made too many changes.
  I think most people on this list are willing to give BC a chance but are ready
for SP to go.

I can't clarify the rule, but I saw this as well, and the only thing I could 
figure out, was the pass was ruled incomplete, rather than a completion and 
a fumble, so the clock should have stopped before the time out was called, 
but it was the first time this year I saw a team get a time out back.

I don't dislike SP because he brought in Bill Callahan. I dislike SP because
of the manner in which he did it. I mostly like what BC has done with the
football program. I was lukewarm on Frank Solich. But the way SP fired
Solich, gave Pelini the brushoff, and bumbled through a coaching search by
himself, is why I have my doubts about SP. My impression of Nebraska fans
and our love the for the program is that it's not just the results that
matter, but also the manner in which they are achieved. In my mind, so far
SP fails in that second item.

IIRC, there were reports - after Solich was fired - that he had planned to
reduce the number of walk-ons.

Donations are why you fire SP.  In the 2 years since
SP's decision to completely rebuild the Husker
football program, the stadium improvement campaign has
raised approximately $6.5 million.  $5 million came
from an Omaha businessman and his wife.  $1 million
came from Darin Erstad.

During the last 2 years, SP has only been able to
raise about 1% of the cost of the project from the
rest of "HuskerNation".

If you believe that donations is how you vote, the
Husker fanbase is voting loud and clear on SP, and
with 2 very large exceptions, the vote is
overwhelmingly against SP.

Where do you get these figures that you throw around so frequently and liberally in your constant denouncement of Steve Pederson? 

The 2004-05 Nebraska Athletic Department Annual Report lists $21.5 million in donations to the Husker Nation Championship Drive with $6 million of that coming from the 2 sources that you already identified. That is quadruple the amount that you are "estimating" and doesn't include any donations since the 2005-06 fiscal year that started in July. 

And while on the subject of donations, corporate sponsorships for Husker Athletics have more than doubled since 2003 and are estimated to be at around $6 million + for the budget year 2005-06. 

While Steve Pederson heads the Athletic Department, do you even know who is in charge of Athletic Development or Corporate Sponsorships? Paul Meyers, former Husker & SF Giant baseball player, actually heads the Championship Drive and is incredibly well liked and respected, at least amongst the donors that I know. Conversely, former Nike executive Paul Miles heads up Corporate Development and is again very well liked a respected, again at least amongst the individuals that I know that have had dealings with him. 

Anyone who has read your blog (as I often do for amusement) and your rants on this list about SP and BC and the "kool aid drinkers" knows of your hatred for these individuals...but in your rush to admonish them at least do a little fact checking along the way...or provide the proof that they are lying in documents that are submitted to the NCAA.

 Jeff - Thank you, I agree.  I too don't like the way we saw the firing and coach search transpire.  I do believe, there is much more to it than we all know, just like in all business, there are laws and reasons not to make everything public, so we probably don't know all the story.  I do believe Pederson has the best interest of NU at heart and is not doing the horrible job alot of people think.  I do know people who have donated more these past few years than they did before in support of what he is doing!

Okay, let me be more direct. Al Davis didn't tell Bill Callahan to have a 
press conference and say "We must be the dumbest team in America." That 
was the middle of the end, and he didn't need Al Davis' help to get from 
there to done. That's why a team like the Vikings wouldn't be interested. 
I think they'll want someone who exhibits complete control. 

In fact, I doubt Callahan is considered much of a sought-after coach until 
he shows real success at Nebraska, which is okay with me. Can you imagine 
if that SOB left of his own accord after all the effort we've gone to 
bitching about him? The audacity! He'd better stay put until WE fire him 
or he dies. 

Anything less would be..... traitorous!

Jon,

Don't you know that in Nebraska there are only two seasons - Fall Football
and Spring Football?

But... I'm betting SP is a brief guy - just because I get a little squeamish
picturing him in briefs.

Texas will roll USC for a half and USC will roll Texas for a half like most
of the bowls and it just depends on who rolls last.

Old coaches never die... they just ask for a review... so I guess it must be
Beano. Didn't he already die in '86? They just replay the tape every year
where he predicts that "Notru Daaame will win the Nashunal Champeenship!"

Wrestlers must be too tied up and women's basketball players too hard
pressed to make comments. Puck hockey.

Come on Spring Football!!!

When the application process was announced last month no deadline was announced, however it has become necessary to place the January 10th deadline due to the favorable response.

Not to belabor the point, but here is a Lincoln
Journal-Star story from October 2004 that refers to SP
as saying that $15 million had been raised by April
2004:
http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2004/10/29/huskerextra/doc41815895691c2153874927.txt

I will stand corrected, though on my dates.  My
recollection was the $15 million amount was from
December 2003, but I could not confirm it.  From April
2004 until the last report, which may have been last
summer, Nebraska had raised around $6.5 million.
($21.5 million - $15 million)  $5 million came from
the Myers family, and $1 million from the Erstads.

I posted before the Huskers current basketball season began that if NU  
finished anything less than 11 and 2 in the pre-conference portion of their  
schedule, it would have to be labeled ?disappointing.?  Factoring the  strength, or 
lack thereof, their schedule (ranked in- or-around 310 out of  340?!); the 
heavy home-court tilt (11 home, two away); etc., 12 and 1 would have  been a 
realistic goal.  There were only four legitimate opponents -- five  if you want 
to include the Louisiana Tech team that beat Bobby in Lubbock (the  others 
being Creighton, Marquette, UAB and Florida State).
 
Well, they just finished defeating a one-win Northern Colorado team, and I  
haven?t heard from many, if any, who aren?t ?disappointed,? or worse 
APATHETIC  about Husker hoops.  They and their 10 and 3 record face Big XII  
competition next with Kelvin Sampson?s always-prepared Sooners coming to  town.  Yikes. 
 (12:30 p.m. Saturday, ESPN+ ? carried by KMTV and KOLN  in the past).  
 
I need to start another thread sometime under the heading, ?Give Me Reasons  
-- NOT Excuses -- Why NU Can?t Field a Consistently Competitive Top 25  
Basketball Program.?
 
Maybe someone who knows more than I can shed some serious light.  As I  look 
at it, the only reason that sounds plausible to me is that they just don?t  
want one.  And that doesn?t make sense when you consider who NU?s Athletic  
Director is.  
 
Facilities?  Academic Support?  Fan support?  Athletic  Tradition?  
Money/Revenue-generation potential?  Why can?t it happen  here when it?s been shown 
elsewhere that it can be done?
 
This team, this program, isn?t going to just ?flip the switch? when  
conference play starts, are they?  I wish they would, but I haven?t seen  it.  Tonight
?s game is the first I haven?t witnessed, either in person or  on the tube, 
all season.  The Creighton game just floored me.  The  Florida State game this 
past weekend gave me a similar feeling.
 
I suppose that a 10 and 3 record at this point should be acceptable when  you 
consider that NU?s two heralded sophomore returnees -- Joe McCray and Aleks  
Maric -- haven?t even shown up yet.  I can?t believe how bad they?ve  been.  
Without getting in to it, I think Joe didn?t work enough during the  
off-season and Maric probably worked too much.  Grand Island?s Wes  Wilkinson has been, 
by far, NU?s best player.  I?ve liked what I?ve seen in  Marcus Walker and 
Jamel White, the two true freshman guards, and I can see (at  times) why B.J. 
Walker was heralded coming out of JuCo.
 
But where is the fire, the passion, the sense of urgency?  Where are  the 
leaders?  Isn?t anybody taking the status-of-the-program  personally?!
 
It all comes back to Barry Collier, a good guy by anybody?s definition, but  
he hasn?t won here.  I don?t want to get into any knee-jerk job speculation  
conversation here.  I?ve heard it too much and it gets old.  But so  does 
losing.
 
Here comes the conference season.  I can?t believe how much I?m not  looking 
forward to it.  And the Big XII has looked much better -- both at  the top 
and top-to-bottom -- in previous years.
 
I hope I have to post here a few times over the next two months, making  sure 
to include the words ?pleasantly surprised? in my musings.
 
One way or another, I?ve gotta? believe that some ?defining moments? are  
going to occur to Husker Hoops over the next year or two.

P.S.  NU won tonight by a score of 60-50 over a one-and-whatever  Northern 
Colorado team.  Winning in spite of a 21-point-run by Northern  Colorado (nine 
to end the half then the first 12 of the second half).  It  was a three-point 
game with about ten minutes to play.   Ouch.

I guess I don't find JoePa or Bowden all that
offensive; however, I think Beano was senile 20 years
ago...

Unfortunately, the basketball program seems to be
struggling; they defeated Northern Colorado 60-50
tonight.

As for USC/Texas, with the number of upsets in this
bowl season, I'm thinking Texas is going to thwart's
ESPN's coronation plans for USC.  USC may be a little
more powerful on offense, but Texas has a better
defense by far.

An excellent post if I have read one all year.  I have been supporting the 
Huskers since before the Danny Nee era.  NU has an amazing ability of just 
playing woefully down to their opponent.  I just hope they do find that 
"switch" going into the conference portion of the season.  Or again...very 
long winter.

Is there any real traction to these rumors, other than the ramblings of some Twin Cities talkjock?

Following the round of new vacancies that emerged Monday/Tues, some of the more recent articles have included speculation about who might be in the running and where (Jim Fassel, Mike Singletary, etc.).  I have not seen Callahan's name on any potential candidate list for any of the current available positions.

Callahan needs to lay these rumors to rest or it will effect recruiting at a
very key time. Unless they're not rumors. Maybe that's why he was smiling so
much leading up the bowl game. He already had been told he's going to be
hired by KC or the Rams. But I doubt it. I think he's here to stay for a
while, and, hopefully, he'll affirm that publicly. When Oregon's Mike
Belloti was mentioned for several jobs, including Notre Dame, he used it to
help recruiting by saying it was a compliment to be considered, but that no
job could match Oregon.

Callahan says he will wait until recruiting is done to fill the job. His agent says he has had no contact from any NFL teams about Callahan.

The only college coach I've heard mentioned in these rumors is Iowa's Kirk

Wasn't Peterson under consideration by Solich to be Nebraska's OC before
Barney Cotton eventually got the job? IIRC, Peterson was given the assistant
head coach title and more responsibilities at KSU if he stayed.

because
of the manner in which he did it. I mostly like what BC has done with the
football program. I was lukewarm on Frank Solich. But the way SP fired
Solich, gave Pelini the brushoff, and bumbled through a coaching search
by
himself, is why I have my doubts about SP....--M. Landin

have kept a few of the former NU players, who'd come back for assistant
coach positions. To wipe them out like SP did was brutal.

SP is a divisive figure; I personally do not LIKE the guy and what he has
done, overall, so I'm agreeing with what was said above. I think the best
summary of EXACTLY how I feel about the whole deal was clearly and
well-said in Scott Frost's words.

I have always maintained that we needed to back off on BC and give him at
least three years (06-07 will be #3) to develop HIS recruits and the

This is by no means a criticism of anyone on the list, but this message actually reminded me of something I had been wondering for quite sometime. Can someone shed some light on why Pederson and Callahan's names often seem to be abbreviated in posts? I've seen a few other longer names spelled out, but it seems like those two names are quite often abbreviated. Any thoughts?

>From the Husker List: Who is more accurate ?

Person #1:
Thankfully the Blake Tiedtke era is over. I will try to remember him by
his forced fumble on Navarre that led to the winning score and not by the
endless number of times he was beaten, out of position, missed tackles or
just generally was horrible throughout his career.
______________________________________

Person #2:
This characterization of Tiedtke is objectionable both in principle and
practice:
1) To denigrate a playing Husker by name on this list is nothing short of
dispecable.
2) Tiedtke has played his position extremely well and not at all as
portrayed above. Ask the coaches.
_________________________________________________________________________
__

I ran this by cousin Rich, who follows the Big Red a heckuva lot closer
than I, and this is what he said:

Boy did you hit the sore spot with me.

Person #2 has not watched one minute of football this year.  Tiedtke is
the worst safety in division 1 football.  The only thing worse is Bill
Busch playing him.  I started watching Tiedtke in about the 2nd or 3rd
game, because I could not believe that he was actually starting.  He went
the rest of the season making a huge (bad) play EVERY game without
exception.  He personally turned more 8 yard gains into 60 yard TD's than
anyone I have ever seen.  He continuously overran plays.  A few quick
examples:  he was beaten on the Texas Tech game winning pass.  Overran
Brad Smith on the sideline in the 1st qtr of Missouri (turned about an 8
yard play into 60).  Adrian Peterson down the west sideline (20 yard run
into 40+).  KU running back up the middle (10 yard play into 50). 
Colorado's 1st play of the game (turned 8 yard gain into 48).  Got beat
by Michigan's tight end for TD.  It was unbelievable!  What was more
unbelievable was that Busch continued to play him.  It isn't really
Tiedke's fault - he just isn't a good enough athlete to play safety in
Division 1.  And Busch NEVER took him out!  Look at the play's that
Shanle made against Michigan on punt coverage. Tiedke beat him out. 
Shanle actually played last year when Bullocks was hurt.  He was the
starter going into camp.  No way is Tiedke a better athlete.  And why,
after so many HUGE mistakes does Busch keep him on the field?

Granted, a safety is not going to make every tackle, but I have never
watched a safety that was so easy to single out for screw-ups than him. 
You see corners get beat all the time, because they get matched up
one-on-one all the time and it is a much harder position to play.  But
you rarely notice a safety continuing to screw up, that is, not until
Tiedke came along.

Bottom line is, I totally agree with person #1, but what is worse is
having the Bill Busch era continue.  That guy is the worst coach on the
staff and it isn't even close.  I keep hoping that Callahan watches some
defensive films and realizes that he is a horrible judge of talent and he
can't coach that position.  More evidence of his lousy coaching:  look
how average of a 
season that Bullocks had.  And we KNOW that he is a player.  He is every
bit as good as his TWIN brother and he is playing on Sundays.  But lousy
coaching puts guys in bad positions and they don't look like players.  I
guarantee that is why Josh Bullocks left for the NFL, Pelini was gone and
lousy coaches took over.  Barrett Ruud would not be playing on Sundays if
Craig Bohl was still coaching linebackers.  Ruud was just an average
white linebacker and Pelini turned him into a player.

More on coaching.  Remember how lousy our linebackers looked in Bohl's
last year?  They were terrible and our whole defense was a disaster.  Now
think about where they are.  Scott Shanle is playing for Dallas.  Ruud is
with Tampa.  Demarrio is a stud at Atlanta (of course Bohl alternated him
with TJ Hollowell).  We had 3 linebackers in the NFL and we sucked!  Bad
coaching.

More:  last year.  I think we were about 107th in pass defense and that
was with 3 defensive backs that will be/are playing on Sundays.  Josh
Bullocks, Fabian Washington and Daniel Bullocks.  They looked horrible
last year because of our lousy defensive coaching.

More:  Now that we finally got rid of Jamrog coaching D-line (remember
how many times I used to complain about him?), this was by far the best
our D-line has played since '97.  We led the nation in sacks and it
wasn't all from blitzing.  2 years ago, going into the bowl game, our
starting D-line had a COMBINED 6 sacks!!!!!!  Amazing what a good
position coach (Blake) can do.--Rich

But it was necessary, and I don't think there's a "gentle" way to purge a
staff. Coaching is a brutal business, and coaches know that. If you hire a
Head Coach, you MUST let him pick his own assistants. You can't hamstring
him by making him try to build a rapport with coaches he's never worked with
while at the same time building rapport with a team he just inherited,
and in this case SP was correct to bear the burden of an unpopular purge
instead of making BC (or whomever was going to come in) do the dirty work.

I wish Frank's termination could have been done differently. SP should NOT
have leaked his intentions to boosters so that Frank basically discovered
his fate from the newspapers instead of his boss. He should NOT have given
Pelini a token interview ... either interview him like he's a real
candidate, or tell him straight out "you are not a candidate". He should NOT
have approached the coaching search with the (apparent) lack of planning
that was displayed.

Being a former NFL head coach makes you a member of a club more exclusive
than the United State Senate, though with shorter tenure.

Like it or not, Bill C's name is going to be mentioned by the media EVERY
YEAR around this time.  

There are eight NFL coaching vacancies, I would not be surprised if half or 
more wind up being filled by someone who has already been an NFL head coach.
(And most of the time that means someone who has been fired as a head coach
by someone else, too.)

1. Unless cousin Rich has watched every safety in Division I for long enough
to rank them - a virtual impossibility - his statement has no credibility.
2. The criticisms of Tiedtke remind me of the times the "experts" on the
list told us - repeatedly - that Scott Shanle lacked the speed to play LB
for Nebraska. Either he got faster, or the NFL is a much slower game, or
said "experts" didn't know what they were talking about. Last time I looked
he was starting for the Cowboys.
3. If you and Jeff Volk and cousin Rich could all see Tiedtke's
shortcomings, why didn't the coaches? Even if Busch is the village idiot,
wouldn't the other coaches have spotted this? Either he's better than you
guys think, or the other candidates are that much worse.
4. And even if he was as bad as you represent, what useful purpose is served
by ragging on him after his career is over?

There's nothing hilarious about the current state of Husker hoops for those  
of us who follow it too closely, but I can appreciate where you're coming from 
 here.
 
I thought it was extremely interesting to see that the World-Herald print  
version focused their game story on the lack of attendance (including the rather 
 embarrassing accompanying photo dipiction) ... while the Journal-Star did 
not  even MENTION the lack-of-attendance until you got to the boxscore.

The only comment I'll make on this entire misbegotten jumble is that 
I began following Husker football closely during the 1941 Rose Bowl 
game when my Dad (who had coached Huskeer QB Roy Petsch at 
Scottsbluff Hi) and I charted the game together - - decades before 
Rich wet his first diapers.

(snip)

I can recall scores of similar posts about other Huskers including 
Scott Frost and Eric Crouch, all as nauseating for reasons the 
writers probably never had the acuity to grasp.

The nasty posts about Crouch particularly bothered me because Eric's 
mother Susie O'Donnell and his grandfather John O'Donnell happened to 
be students of mine at Bellevue College. In fact, I attended the 
Crouches' wedding.

When Eric was playing, I was aware that, like almost all families of 
Husker players, they were HuskerList subscribers and read every 
single mindless rant by some Listers who had never looked a red zone 
in the eye.

Now, I can't prove it because I don't have access to HuskerList 
records, but I believe with moral certainty that the Tiedke family 
and friends also subscribe to this list but cannot respond in kind to 
posts like the ones above.

Even if the Tiedkes had never even heard of the HuskerList, it seems 
singularly maladroit to post such bilge through a university-level 
mailing list theoretically devoted to supporting the Huskers.

Not necessarily Husker related, but this should put to bed this stupid

And despite the Heisman, Maxwell, and others, who is the best college

I feel like Jekyll & Hyde tonight.
 
Glad that USC did not win so we wouldn't have to hear all the stuff about the "threepeat" and infringing upon the sacred territory of the two most dominant teams in college history (hint, both teams had a red N on the helmet).
 
Not so glad that Texas won because I still have mixed feelings about throwing their weight around when the Big XII was being developed (there's was the conference that fell apart, not the Big 8 and they made it seem like they were bigger than the conference at the time)
 
Somewhat glad that Texas won because it makes our conference look better.
 
Not glad that Texas won because we will have to listen to arrogant Texas fans all of next year.
 
Not sure if I should be glad at all about the fact that Nebraska has to play both of these teams next year.  Either they will need to come down a notch or NU will have to bring it up maybe two notches to make it competitive.
 
Here is hoping that as many as possible from both teams declare for the draft.
 
BTW where does the bowl challenge cup go?  Is it overall wins or percentage and where is the trophy displayed...........oh of course if our conference is declared the winner.........it will be displayed in DALLAS at the Big XII office headquarters...........

Well I have not played football at Nebraska, but I have played after high school as I suspect many on this list have probably not. That said, if I were still playing, I wouldn't give negative comments directed at me on this list a second thought, EVER. Division I college football players have thicker skin than some on this list give them credit for. 
   
  While the motives behind bashing current (and former) players is certainly suspect, I am willing to bet that while it may be a bit disconcerting for family members, players for the most part could give a rat's ass about what people say about them on the Internet. If these players were that worried about fans' opinions on listserves, college athletics would be in serious trouble. And until someone can prove otherwise,I find it very hard to believe that anyone directly involved with a major division I football program has the time or interest to sit down and read 30 messages about how bad the players and coaches are. I simply have to disagree with you on this. Ever sit at Folsom field (or many opponents' stadiums) and listen to some of the comments directed at Husker players- don't you think the families have had to listen to this too?
   
  All that said, I don't think Tiedtke played that bad this season at all. Everyone makes mistakes, and these mistakes are much more noticeable in the national spotlight of Husker football. And I think bad mouthing players, while unfortunately within the "rights" of fans, is pointless on a list where the players have no opportunity to respond (at least not yet anyway). Has anyone sat down and studied the plays that Tiedtke participated in- and I don't mean TIVO-ing the games, but actually breaking down film of each play? I doubt it, so to say he is the worst safety in Division I is ridiculous.

  When Eric was playing, I was aware that, like almost all families of 
Husker players, they were HuskerList subscribers and read every 
single mindless rant by some Listers who had never looked a red zone 
in the eye.

Now, I can't prove it because I don't have access to HuskerList 
records, but I believe with moral certainty that the Tiedke family 
and friends also subscribe to this list but cannot respond in kind to 
posts like the ones above.

Even if the Tiedkes had never even heard of the HuskerList, it seems 
singularly maladroit to post such bilge through a university-level 
mailing list theoretically devoted to supporting the Huskers.

  Not to mention the fact that we could face Texas twice if we make it to the Big 12 Championship game.  Even if both teams have several players declare, the depth gained from their recent recruiting classes shouldn't show much of a dropoff in on field performance.
   
  Question - Does Vince Young's performance tonight make him more attractive than Reggie Bush if both come out for the NFL draft?  If I remember correctly, draft order is Houston, San Francisco and Tennessee.  I can see the Texans taking Vince if their new coaching staff brings an offense suited to his game, but how the fans would howl if they passed on Bush.  The Niners got a QB in last year's draft and would sure love to get Bush.  Titans might have to "settle" for Leinert.  In my mind, I'd love to see the draft go Bush, anyone but Vince and then have my Titans get Vince with the third pick.  What better tutor than Steve McNair to show him the ropes for a couple of years and then turn him loose when McNair retires.
   
  Great year for college football.  I think I've become more of a fan of the college game overall than just being a Nebraska fan over the last couple of years and this year had some great moments during both the regular season and bowl games.  Come on August, get here soon!

The UT win reminded me again that an offense based on an elusive QB combined
with a fast defense will always be a pretty potent combination.  Nothing was
going to stop those last two UT drives. (Well, except for the '95 Husker
defense.)

I'd enjoy seeing Vince succeed in the pro's.

Subject: [Husker] Nebraska rated #24 in the Gupta Power Ratings
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0601050029310.5536@winston.granularity.net>


My final ratings are up at www.bapi.net/football and I have Nebraska 
ranked #24, up 6 spots from our regular season final rating of 30th.

We passed up:

Florida State (8-5), lost to Penn State 26-23, dropped from 29th to 30th
Georgia Tech (7-5), lost to Utah 38-10, dropped from 27th to 36th
Iowa State (7-5), lost to TCU 27-24, unchanged at 25th
Fresno State (8-5), lost to Tulsa 31-24, dropped from 24th to 29th
Iowa (7-5), lost to Florida 31-24, dropped from 23rd to 27th
Minnesota (7-5), lost to Virginia 34-31, dropped from 22nd to 26th

No teams below us moved ahead of us.  Michigan dropped from 18th to 22nd, 
but remained ahead of Nebraska.

Texas's national championship team now ranks as the 3rd best team since 
1991, behind Nebraska 1995 and Miami 2001.  The 1971 Nebraska teams fits 
in right behind Nebraska 95 as #2 of the teams I have rated.

This Texas team really is what you'd have to call a dominating champion 
this year.  Hopefully, now that the Texans know what a rarity a team like 
theirs was, they'll have some appreciation for it and become better sports 
for it.  I think winning the national championships probably made NU and 
OU fans a little more appreciative of good football, regardless of who is 
playing it.  We've been a little down a lately, but none of us have ever 
spent a lifetime never getting a taste of a championship.

Nah, we don't need basketball at NU.  Basketball is
fly-over country for me....has been for an extremely
long time.

College baseball is right around the corner.  NU
sports has become football and baseball for me, and
it's been that way since the 1st VanHorn season.  I
remember that 1st year.  KLIN was about the only
station doing the ball games.  I still lived in
Lincoln and was doing yard work listening to those
games.

Basketball?  I haven't listend to a game since Nee was
here.  I wasn't a Nee "person", but that's the last
time I remember listening to a basketball game.

It was hard not going to a bowl game last year.  It
made the wait until baseball extremely long.

Mike Vick was the best dual threat QB in college I have watched in quite some time, and I don't thing Vince Young is as good as Vick was at VTech. I know it's difficult to compare players, but Vick often struggles in the NFL as a dual threat qb, who's to say Young wont do the same? He will need to end up on a team that maximizes his strengths, rather than focusing solely on trying to improve his weaknesses. I think Young is way over-hyped, mainly because he had a great game against the "best college team of all time". As college QBs, I think Frazier was pretty close, if not equal to Young this season- maybe not in stats, but talent, heart and production, definitely. That said, Young would be VERY difficult to stop at the collegiate level if he came back next year.

I think Scott's assessment is pretty much dead on, although I do like Young over Vick at the collegiate level. I mean the guy did throw up almost 500 yards of total offense by himself against a very, very good USC team and with the game on the line and USC knowing that they had to stop only him...they couldn't. 

As for NFL QB's, I have long maintained that Michael Vick is one of the most overrated players in the HISTORY of the NFL. While he has led the Falcons to a couple of nice wins, namely the playoff upset of the Packers at Lambeau several years back, the guy has a career passer rating of somewhere around 70. OUCH!

I see Young as a similar type NFL player to Vick so to me, and I would guess most NFL GM's, Leinart is a much better pro prospect. The 2 things that Young has going for him over Vick is that he is physically bigger and a more accurate passer...while Vick has a much stronger arm. I would almost say that Young is more like a Daunte Cullpepper, although Cullpepper has a stronger arm...but then again Young is a better runner.

I just don't see Vince Young as an impact QB in the NFL, although I certainly could be wrong. Some team will make him a Top 5 pick though if he comes out. 

Let's just hope for the Husker's sake that the 2 best players on the field last night both decide to head to the NFL early or you could quite possibly chalk up 2 losses for next season before it even starts. I mean even though Reggie Bush didn't have as electrifying of a game as Young, he still had 279 all-purpose yards and a TD himself. 

Have a great day!

Jeff

PS: I am happy for Texas fans that Mack Brown, quite possibly the most overrated gameday coach in college football (but a FABULOUS recruiter), didn't outsmart himself ALL SEASON and just let Vince take over.

Please also give due credit to the Texas offensive line.  They played a lights out game last night against what was previously reported to be an underrated USC defensive front.  My impression of Young is that he looks great if he is allowed to "get going".  I don't think I saw this year even once when a good hit was laid on him in the backfield.  Typically, the speed of NFL defensive ends and linebacker schemes negates a great deal of what is perceived as collegiate running quarterback talent or "elusiveness".  Vick is the exception to the rule.  This is why Frazier, Crouch, Kordell Stewart, etc. did not pan out in the pros too well.  It is like comparing apples to oranges.

Mike Vick was the best dual threat QB in college I have watched in quite some time, and I don't thing Vince Young is as good as Vick was at VTech. I know it's difficult to compare players, but Vick often struggles in the NFL as a dual threat qb, who's to say Young wont do the same? He will need to end up on a team that maximizes his strengths, rather than focusing solely on trying to improve his weaknesses. I think Young is way over-hyped, mainly because he had a great game against the "best college team of all time". As college QBs, I think Frazier was pretty close, if not equal to Young this season- maybe not in stats, but talent, heart and production, definitely. That said, Young would be VERY difficult to stop at the collegiate level if he came back next year.

Maybe it sounds like treason on this list to ask the question but which one
is/was best? Maybe Vince Young would have to come back another year to get a
better comparison but lots of folk think he is ready for the NFL now and I
can't argue against that point.

Does anyone have any feelings of a possible "surprise" announcement of
committing to Nebraska out of this game.  I noticed on rivals that there are
a few top 100 with Nebraska on there list.

I've always been amused (since I'm not seeking a head coaching job) at this tendency.  is it often that the guy who failed over there succeeds over here?

Yes, but the "very, very good" part of the USC team was all on the 
offensive side.  No doubt, Young is a great college QB, but I was never 
saw any decent attempt to contain Young in the pocket or assign a player 
to shadow him.  USC also left Texas' receivers wide open on the shorter 
routes all night.
An exciting game?  YES!  One of the best ever?  Not in my opinion.  A 
defense only showed up for a hand full of plays (mainly Texas' 4th and 1 
stops) all game long.  And the winning team did have a few key calls go 
their way.

I don't know of any likely "surprises" out of that game. But NU looks to
have a chance at only one member of Rivals' top 100. JB Walton (No. 70) OL
from MD currently lists NU and Penn State as his favorites.

[None of the following takes into account the still-incomplete 2006 
recruiting class.]

Using the depth chart from the Colorado game as well as the roster 
from huskers.com as a basis it appears 22 seniors will be leaving 
this team although there's some question about Wali Muhammed whom the 
former lists as a junior and the latter a senior. Is senior tackle 
Fuamatu-Thomas applying for another year?

According to the depth chart, the two-deep offense NU will lose OL 
Jared Helming, OL Brandon Koch, WR Mark LeFlore, and RB Cory Ross. 
Also leaving will be starting RT Seppo Evwareye.

The defense will lose DT LeKevin Smith, DT Titus Adams, LB Adam 
Ickes. FS Blake Tiedke, FS Tyler Fisher, and SS Daniel Bullocks. 
Punter/holder Sam Koch will also be leaving the kicking teams, a 
major loss.

Returning to the offense  - - asuming no injuries or defections - - 
are: TE JB Phillips, TE Josh Mueller, LT Lydon Murtha, LT Christ 
Patrick, LG Greg Austin, C Kurt Mann, RG Mike Huff, RT Matt Slauson, 
RT Newton Lingenfelter, WR Nate Swift, WR Frantz Hardy, WR Terrence 
Nunn, WR Grant Mulkey, FB Dane Todd, FB Grant Miller, RB Marlon 
Lucky, RB Cody Glenn, RB Brandon Jackson, QB Zac Taylor, and QB 
Harrison Beck.

(TE Matt Herian, and OL Andy Christiansen are scheduled to return 
from the injured list. Other potential contributors may be: SS Titus 
Brothers, RB/WR/FS Leon Jackson, WR Isiah Fluellen, OL Brett Byford, 
OL Craig Roark, OL Brock Pasteur, WR Todd Peterson, WR Chris Brooks, 
TE Clayton Sievers, OL Rodney Picou, and OL Jordan Picou.)

Returning to the defense - - asuming no injuries or defections - - 
are: DE Jay Moore, DE Adam Carricker (considering the NFL but 
apparently undecided), DE Kevin Luhrs, DE Ty Steinkuhler, DE Adan 
Blankenship, LB Dontrell Moore, DT Ola Dagundaro, DT Barry Cryer, LB 
Nick Covey, LB Corey McKeon, LB Phillip Dillard, LB Lance 
Brandenburgh, CB Cortney Grixby, CB Tierre Green, and CB Zackary 
Bowman.

(Starting linebackers Stuart Bradley, Bo Ruud, and Steve Octavian are 
due to return from the injured list. Other potential contributors may 
be: LB Nick Covey, FS Andrew Shanle, De Justin Tomerlin,  SS Jeff 
Souder, SS Ben Eisenhart, LB Andy Kadavy, DL Ndamukong Suh, DL Zach 
Potter, and DE Barry Turner.)

Returning to the kicking teams are PK Jordan Congdon, "Bullets" 
Brandon Rigoni and Andrew Shanle, LS Lane Kelly, LS Nathan McBride, 
KOR Tierre Green, KOR Marlon Lucky, PR Cortney Grixby, and PR 
Terrence Nunn, and Holder Joe Ganz.

Offhand, it looks like the WR and LB positions are going to be the 
deepest in talent and experience.

Corrections/additions/extrapolations welcome.

I think the reason Tommie Frazier didn't pan out in the pros was because of  
his blood clot problem.  I didn't track his stats in the CFL, but I believe  
he only lasted a season and a half because it was a recurring problem.

While the blood clots ended any hopes Tommie might have had of playing pro
ball, I don't think he was a good enough passer to have made it at QB in any
case, and I'm not sure where else he might have fit in. Young has a funky
throwing motion, but he seems to get the ball to his receivers. Don't know
if he has enough arm strength. He sure is fun to watch though - and I'd
really enjoy watching him play in the NFL next year.

Palmer should definitely contribute in 06. He was a very highly regarded
JUCO S that signed with NU a few weeks ago and should be on campus when
classes start in the spring.

That's what I understand, but I'm not sure yet whether he's received it.

As I said in my original post, the names did not include anyone from 
the current recruiting class as none has played at the Division IA 
level.

Hadn't heard that. Has anyone put together a good count of the returning scholarship players? I went through the roster and counted 67, including Fuamatu-Thomas, Palmer and Haines. Muhammad, Jacob Hickman and Tyrell Spain get you to 70. And if they give a scholarship to Todd Peterson (which they surely should), that's 71, which leaves room for only 14 more. Anyone know of any likely departures?

I think he a fine player and am very pleased he is staying.  However, 
how many times have
sports people announced they were happy where they were, then announced 
the next day
they were leaving ala Childress.

Thank you Adam for staying.

Still two long months until March.  One game did not save Frank Solich's

It didn't look good when NU was down 33-25 at the half.  Huskers came out in 
the second half -- and for the most part stayed with -- a three-quarter court 
trapping, pressing defense that continued to trap once OU got past the 
timeline.  It definetly caused the Sooners some problems.  They are a tough team with 
Taj Gray and Kevin Bookout on the front-line, but they are NOT a great 
ball-handling team.  Nebraska HAD to give them a different look, down eight at the 
half.  Gray and Bookout both got in foul trouble -- a huge factor in today's 
outcome -- with Bookout eventually fouling out with the Sooners leading late.

Jason D. had 17 to lead NU.  Charles Richardson played perhaps his best game 
as a Husker.  Fifteen points and sorely-needed leadership from the point guard 
position.  Interesting in that Collier started the veteran Richardson and 
used freshmen Marcus Walker and Jamel White sparingly.  Joe McCray got a good 
look with six seconds to play and really "stayed with the shot."  Marcus Perry 
came off the bench to give a boost offensively, as well. 

I think the Huskers got a little lucky today, but we'll take it.  Credit to 
the coaches for the change-up on the defensive end to start the second half.  
Controling the home court is paramount to ANY conference success the Huskers 
plan on achieving this year.  I doubt that they play a conference team in 
Lincoln the remainder of the season who's better than OU.  Texas doesn't come here.  
Texas Tech does.  Kansas too (who took apart Kentucky today in Lawrence).  

Kansas State in Manhattan on Wednesday night.  Available on the Huskers' Fox 
Sports cable package.  We've never played real well there.  Their crowds are 
far from raucous but I don't know if we've ever won in Bramlage Coliseum.  

Huge start to the conference for Collier and the Huskers.  Even though I 
think NU received some good fortune today, they didn't have to play "lights out" 
to defeat the Sooners.  I hope their best basketball is still ahead of them.

While with the Carolina Panthers, Jason Peter became
addicted to painkillers.  Upon his release, the drug
addiction escalated to include crack and heroin. 
Finally, about 2 years ago, his family intervened and
after a couple of attempts at detox, he is on the road
to recover.

Subject: [Husker] 2006 Prospectus?
Message-ID: <p06210207bfe5eb46cca4@[192.168.1.4]>

[A quick look at returning Husker players who should make up the core 
of next season's team.]

DEFENSE

DE's Adam Carriker and Jay Moore will probably start (and finish) the 
season at the positions they held last season. Behind them are young 
players with some experience: Barry Turner, Adam Blankenship, Zach 
Potter, and Ty Steinkuhler, among others. DE positions should be both 
dominant and deep.

Le Kevin Smith and Titus Adams leave a definite vacuum at DT, but 
backups Ola Dagundaro and Barry Cryer played effectively at backup, 
so there may not be a major a drop-off at the starting positions. The 
as-yet unseen but promising Ndamukong Suh seems to be the sole 
heir-apparent backup. (Quick, people, help me here by giving me some 
names I've missed!)

At LB, the only serius problem is how to find a way to play everyone 
who deserves to be on the field. LB must be the deepest and most 
talented position on the squad.

At cornerback, Bowman and Grigsby wear numbers 1 and 2 and look to 
stay that way although not necessarily in that order. Who backs them 
up will remain a minor mystery due to a quandry produced by the 
double openings at the two safety spots:

Early in the season I expect to see Tierre Green (who played safety 
in HS) and Andrew Shanle at the safety spots. Green's foot speed 
ought not be left on the bench and neither should his three years of 
Husker experience. Shanle prowess has a hitter should be evident to 
even the most benighted not can his four years of Husker experience 
be discounted. Changes may occur as the season wears on, and we'll 
probably see Jeff Souder, Titus Brothers, Ben Eisenhart, and perhaps 
Leon Jackson in the mix.

The starting players should be able to play well against almost any 
offense in Div IA. But without good backups, especially at DL, the 
Husker D may wobble a bit.

OFFENSE

Starting 2005 center, quarterback, and fullback are returning seniors 
coming off a good season. (No one discount the importance of the 
fullback in the WCO running game.) By next autumm they should be 
fully synchronized, paving the way for returning young I-backs Marlon 
Lucky, Cody Glenn, and Brandon Jackson to improve on last season's 
running game - -

- - which must have top-notch OG's to be truly effective. Greg Austin 
will return at one post (let's pray his battered knees hold up) while 
Mike Huff, now a redshirt frosh, may move into the other guard 
position from his backup role to 2005 starter Brandon Koch. The OG 
cupboard is probably not as bare as it might seem because Andy 
Christiansen should be in full recovery by next season along with 
Brett Byford, Craig Roark, and Rodney Picou. For the Huskers offense 
to make a return to dominance, these youngsters will have to perform 
like veterans.

Almost any coach will say that his offense is built around the tackle 
positions, showing that the latter part of last season was nothing 
less than a minor miracle. Seniors Seppo (you don't really expect me 
type his other name, do you?) and Cornelius Fuamatu-Thomas played 
pretty well in the early season but later succumbed to injuries, 
leaving true frosh Matt Slauson, RS frosh Lyon Murtha, soph Chris 
Patrick, and junior Newton Lingenfelter to carry the burden. That, 
friends, was a recipe for disaster, but it didn't turn out that way. 
We should upgrade the Huskers' winning their last three games against 
K-State, Colorado, and Michigan using only four lower-classmen at 
tackle to the status of a major miracle. If Fuamatu-Thomas is granted 
the ME, tackle should be solid, possibly good.

At TE Matt Herian returns and - - when he regains form - - will 
dominate. He'll be backed up by JB Philips, Clayton Sievers, and Josh 
Mueller among others.

WR  seem to be strong - - so strong that some promising recruits may 
redshirt. Last season's youthful WR crew proved to be an unexpected 
bonanza for the Huskers, and will be back again next season Swift, 
Petersen, Nunn, Mulkey, Hardy, and Brooks. The return of Fluellen 
ought to provide an exceptional long-ball threat.

KICKING

Every Husker fan can take comfort in the fact that Brian Rigoni will 
return on kicking/special teams. The shortest guy on the roster at 
5'5", Rigoni is the human version of a Bull Terrier. And believe me, 
no homo sapiens can aspire to higher praise! Dr. Tom often said the 
kicking/special team should be considered yet another first-string 
unit, and so it proved again in 2005. The good news is that the 
Huskers retain FG kickers Jordan Congdon, kicker David Dyches, Long 
Snapper Lane Kelly, and holder Joe Ganz. The only really bad news is 
that the team(s) loses kick-blocke Adam Ickes and punter Sam Koch who 
just may have been the best punter in Husker history.

PROSPECTS

Although the 2006 schedule appears to be more demanding than last 
year's, the nine returning starters on defense, eight returners on 
defense, and Congdon on kicking/special teams make it difficult to be 
pessimistic.

that is documented in Glory road.

 

The following quote form him was in an LA Times article about the movie.

 

Assistant coach Moe Iba: "The movie is a good movie, but it doesn't tell
the story of how much heart and dedication these young men had. The
thing I remember about all of them is what great athletes they were.
This basketball team in 1966, let's say they played today and they had
the same talent they have today, this team could play today with any
team in the country.

We have Todd back at FB, backed up by Grant Milller (if he can stay out of
trouble and hasn't already worn out his welcome), so we're okay for 2006.
After that, it gets a little dicey. The cupboard will be bare of scholarship

A JC transfer defensive tackle (last name is Johnson, nickname is The Beast)
who played with Ola Dagunduro last year is on board. Their coach says they
are equal in talent. That gives us a fourth guy for the rotation, if he pans
out.

Andre Jones is a JC transfer rated as good as Bowman, giving us three
quality corners, including Grixby.

We also have a four star receiver from junior college in Purify.

Recruiting-wise, I think Callahan did just as well in the JC ranks this year
as last year, but high school recruiting fell off the map, by comparison.
Because of the immediacy of some of the JC kids, I think Callahan's team
stays on track for next season. But he will really have to put together a
dynamite recruiting class next year, especially of quality high school kids,
if he's going to avoid getting stuck in a rut of mediocrity behind the
Oklahomas and Texases of the conference. The good news (according to
recruitnicks and people who follow local Nebraska football closely) is that
next year could be the best year in a decade for Nebraska high school
talent. Of course, it's not good news if Callahan loses them to other
schools. He got off to a good start by already getting a commitment from the
number one rated player in the state, Niles Paul.

To embellish on Alan's point, last year NU signed 18 HS seniors (they did
not all enroll) and one prep school recruit. As rated by Rivals, they
included: 1 five-star player, 7 four-star players, 7 three-star players, 2
two-star players and 2 zero-star players (and one of those - Slauson - was
more accurately rated at three stars as a HS senior). This year, the eleven
HS seniors committed to NU at the moment include 1 four-star player, 9
three-star players and 1 two-star player.

I think that Muhammad, Turner, and Carriker would  provide great speed at the DT postition but are any of them really big  enough to play the postition?  I dont just mean that as strength  wise but also big enough to take the continous pounding that those  interior lineman take every game. Also wasn't Glenn recruited to be a  fullback? Or did he play fullback in Highschool and then became a HB  here?

I agree with one caveat: in my opinion the immediate need is not so 
much for youth as for experience at the collegiate level. Our current 
freshmen and sophs give us several years worth of young talent.

As Seppo did two years ago. Not only talent but a depth of talent is 
necessary nowadays.

  Seeing how over the last few years, Nebraska's defense makes any
mobile QB look better than Reggie Bush, Young's declaration can only be
considered good news. I don't know how good a team we'll field next
year, but I'm positive a Vince Young lead Texas would have been an

Steve Sipple had a good take on this in yesterday's Journal-Star, noting
that this is something we just better get used to.  

We have a head coach with NFL head coaching experience, and NFL owners 
tend to like to hire coaches with previous NFL head coaching experience, 
even if it means some other owner fired them.  (That phenomenon is not
restricted just to the NFL Billionaire's club, pro baseball and basketball
teams tend recycle the same old coaches over and over again, too.)

Further, not only do we have a staff made up of coaches with no long-term 
ties to Nebraska, I think they all understand that they don't have lifetime 
contracts here, so they better keep their resumes up-to-date and have their
agents follow up on any inquiries.

Also, since these coaches are more in the mainstream (at least on
offense) than the option-oriented coaches of the Osborne years, they're
going to be in bigger demand by other schools and the NFL.

I suspect it will be a rare occasion when there isn't at least ONE
coaching change every year or two.

With the progress of Matt Herian still not known, one of my biggest questions
about the 2006 offense is the play-making tightend. Steve Stone mentioned
Sievers, Mueller and Philips, but I haven't heard of them being offensive
threats catching the ball.

If Herian can't go 100%, does anyone have a take on the recruits McNeil and
Martin?  McNeil sounds like a player wanting to follow in Herian's mold and may
well be able to do it (http://nebraska.scout.com/2/433670.html).

Could they bulk up Peterson and line him up at TE?  Effective play at TE could
really help the WRs and Taylor on short pass plays, and in the red zone.

That seems the right choice, given his size.

The LJS article on Thenarse and Williams suggests that NU will be looking
for 4 or 5 more commitments before the end of the month. Given the number of
returning scholarship athletes, that would mean either a number of
greyshirts, some players leaving, or some of both. There isn't room for 25
new scholarshps under the 85 limit.

Just saw where Vanderbilt backed out of a game against nearby rival Middle Tennessee State to play at Michigan on ESPN on September 2.  Since they haven't beaten MTSU in awhile, maybe they felt like trying to change their luck....
   
  Anyway, I believe NU still has an opening on September 2.  MTSU, a Div I school, is now on the list.  I guess scheduling a home and home would be out of the question?  :-)

Believe it or not, Nebraska improved to 12 and 3 on the season and 2 and 0

Nebraska led by as much as 23 (I believe it was  23) in the second half.

start and then ripped off a big run at the start of half number two.   I 
thought NU was o.k.-to-good tonight.  KSU was horrible.  NU's  defense had to 
contribute to their woes ... but they started taking bad, forced  shots right 
out-of-the-chute.
 
I hope this signifies the permanent return of 6-foot-11 sophomore center  
Aleks Maric.  15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds to lead the  way.  Joe 
McCray took a nasty spill early in the 2nd half ... seemed to  land hard on his 
tail bone while goin' to the hole.  Returned (slowly) to  the bench for the last 
10 minutes of the game after returning from the locker  room.
 
Joe has some time to rest and heal up.  He too, like Aleks, may slowly  be

Big XII mark will take on Iowa State at the Devaney  Center at 6:30 p.m.

It's early.  NU is 2 and 0.  Mizzou is 2 and 0.  Oklahoma is  0 and 2.  But 
no talk about NU being the worst 12 and 3 team in the  country.  This was a

Arguably, the road win against K State is more impressive than
the home win against OU.

Mratings http://www.mratings.com/cb/compare.htm has K State at
#50 and OU at #52.  Of course, this early in the year, those
rankings don't mean so much, but NU is likely to move up from
#100.

Good analysis.  I saw much of the game, and it was like KSU took a page from the
Husker book of listless basketball.  But It also looked like KSU was undersized
and NU got physical, particularly Maric, who seemed to dwarf the KSU
frontcourt.   Maric also shows that from the high post he has great vision and
can dish the ball to cutters in traffic--Dourisseau blew a great pass in the
first half missing a lay-in.

One key stat in the last two games: TOs.  NU had only 9 beating OU, and were
even with KSU at 14.  If they can keep the TOs down around 10 they'll be much
more competetive in B12 play.  If they play like the last two games they'll be
competetive in every B12 game.

The move by Collier to allow Maric to spend xmas downunder appears to have
helped.  He also has gotten the players to take pride in their team and raise
their level of effort and intensity.  We could probably cool the talk about
when we should decide to fire him, at least for a while.

I saw this AM that McCray had a slight concussion after the tumbling drive early
in the second half.  He appears to have improved over the first month of the
season, though I hope he doesn't decide that he's going to make every floating
20-footer from the top of the key after the game winner against OU.  He's got
some physical size, and they are going to need that banging around in the paint
against the likes of OSU, KU, CU.  The Huskers should beat ISU at Devaney.

Yes. If a player is on scholarship he counts against the total number of
scholarships, and redshirts are on scholarship. If a player greyshirts, it
doesn't count. A greyshirt is an incoming player who agrees to delay going
on scholarship for a year. Hope that helps.

Tomerlin had some rib problems early in the season and made it difficult for
him to work out effectively during the season. There's also some indications
that he maybe needs to get a little more intense about his commitment to
football to be effective at the D-1 level (Cory McKeon and Beck both
basically said the same things about themselves, so it's not a knock. The
jump from JUCO to D-1 by necessity is a large one.). I'm hoping he gets the
coaching and the commitment he needs to realize his potential at either
position. Depending on Herian's status, we may need him at TE more than DE
but I'm sure that will shake itself out come Spring.

I plan to enjoy next season for what it is, and not worry about
"tomorrow." It usually takes care of itself.

I watched the game also and I got the impression both teams took a page from 
the Husker book of listless book of basketball.

 It is great to be 2-0 in Big Twelve but the Huskers need to step it up a 
notch or maybe 3.

Good analysis.  I saw much of the game, and it was like KSU took a page from 
the
Husker book of listless basketball.  But It also looked like KSU was 
undersized
and NU got physical, particularly Maric, who seemed to dwarf the KSU
frontcourt.   Maric also shows that from the high post he has great vision 
and
can dish the ball to cutters in traffic--Dourisseau blew a great pass in the
first half missing a lay-in.

One key stat in the last two games: TOs.  NU had only 9 beating OU, and were
even with KSU at 14.  If they can keep the TOs down around 10 they'll be 
much
more competetive in B12 play.  If they play like the last two games they'll 
be
competetive in every B12 game.

The move by Collier to allow Maric to spend xmas downunder appears to have
helped.  He also has gotten the players to take pride in their team and 
raise
their level of effort and intensity.  We could probably cool the talk about
when we should decide to fire him, at least for a while.

I saw this AM that McCray had a slight concussion after the tumbling drive 
early
in the second half.  He appears to have improved over the first month of the
season, though I hope he doesn't decide that he's going to make every 
floating
20-footer from the top of the key after the game winner against OU.  He's 
got
some physical size, and they are going to need that banging around in the 
paint
against the likes of OSU, KU, CU.  The Huskers should beat ISU at Devaney.

Believe it or not, Nebraska improved to 12 and 3 on the season and 2 and 0
in conference play with a 57-42 win over Kansas State tonight in  Manhattan.
Nebraska led by as much as 23 (I believe it was  23) in the second half.

Cornhuskers played very well at the start of each half.  Got off to a  13-2
start and then ripped off a big run at the start of half number two.   I
thought NU was o.k.-to-good tonight.  KSU was horrible.  NU's  defense had 
to
contribute to their woes ... but they started taking bad, forced  shots 
right
out-of-the-chute.

I hope this signifies the permanent return of 6-foot-11 sophomore center
Aleks Maric.  15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds to lead the  way.  Joe
McCray took a nasty spill early in the 2nd half ... seemed to  land hard on 
his
tail bone while goin' to the hole.  Returned (slowly) to  the bench for the 
last
10 minutes of the game after returning from the locker  room.

Joe has some time to rest and heal up.  He too, like Aleks, may slowly  be
"rounding" into form (sorry).  No game this weekend.   Huskers and their 2 
and 0
Big XII mark will take on Iowa State at the Devaney  Center at 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, January 17.

It's early.  NU is 2 and 0.  Mizzou is 2 and 0.  Oklahoma is  0 and 2.  But
no talk about NU being the worst 12 and 3 team in the  country.  This was a
huge win for Nebraska basketball.

There is no such thing as an ugly conference road win.

Arguably, the road win against K State is more impressive than
the  home win against OU.

Mratings http://www.mratings.com/cb/compare.htm  has K State at
#50 and OU at #52.  Of course, this early in the year,  those
rankings don't mean so much, but NU is likely to move up  from
#100.



Absolutely, all the way around.  Road conference wins during Collier?s  years 
have been few and far between, but then again, they?ve always been tough  to 
obtain for Nebraska basketball.
 
I think we got a little lucky but still executed down the stretch against  OU 
at home (down five with 40-plus seconds to play) ? a HUGE and fortunate way  
to begin the conference season.  That game enabled us to seize an  opportunity 
in Manhattan.  Don?t look now, but Nebraska is going to be  favored by the 
odds-makers to improve to 3 and 0 in Big XII play next Tuesday at  home against 
Iowa State!  Having said that, it?s a ?set-up? game if there  ever has been 
such a thing.  I?ve seen us lose this kind of game in the  past.  I think the 
schedule, which started doing us favors a long time ago,  is helping us again 
with no game this weekend ? get in some good practice time ?  get further away 
from this morning?s positive press clippings ? heads out of the  proverbial 
clouds (tough practices will do that for you).  I think it?s a  good thing.
 
If NU can beat the ?Clones (that?s a big IF at this point) and improve to  
13 and 3 and 3 and 0 in conference, that puts them in good position to attack  
the following four games -- three of them on the road (at KU, at CU, home  
against Mizzou, and a road trip to Stillwater).  Win against ISU, go just  .500 
the rest of the way and it puts you in everyone?s ?bubble?  conversation.
 
That?s all the further ahead I?m going.  Continued improvement is  vital.  
Without it, we're not going anywhere.  I see things with  guarded optimism 
right now.  I?ve seen teams start good in conference play,  go on six-game losing 
streaks and it?s all over before it gets started.   I?ve also seen teams turn 
around seemingly lifeless seasons and make something  of them (10-game 
conference losing streak, player revolt, regroup and win the  NIT).  I think the 
current NU squad has a chance to do just that (turn  around a seemingly lifeless 
season).  But are they strong enough  physically, mentally and emotionally to 
do it?
 
The Big XII is ?down? this year and the Huskers have a golden opportunity  
to capitalize. 
 
Following Husker hoops as closely as I do, I?m surprised but at the same  
time I?m not with what I?m seeing.  Two meltdown losses (Creighton and  Florida 
State) are what everyone remembers, and with good reason (although the  win 
against Marquette looks pretty good now following their upset of UCONN  last 
week).
 
How has Nebraska gone 12 and 3 (aside from the favorable schedule) with Joe  
McCray and Aleks Maric -- the ?05-06 ?poster boys? -- being as ?off? as they?
ve  been?!  Collier does some things that I don?t understand, but if they  
continue to improve, you?ve got to give him and his staff a ton of credit!   At 
the same time, the record shouldn?t be a total surprise because of the  
higher-than-normal expectations that accompanied this team at the start of  
pre-season practice.  And Maric and McCray ARE showing good signs of  turning it 
around.
 
The insertion of Charles Richardson into the starting point guard spot (and  
giving him most of the position?s minutes) has made a huge impact.   
Richardson is 5-foot-9 and arguably doesn?t have the ball-skills that freshmen  Marcus 
Walker and Jamel White have.  But there is absolutely no substitute  for 
experience.  Richardson keeps this team focused and in-synch.  I  didn?t think he 
was THIS valuable to NU prior to the season, but I?m convinced  now (and Walker 
and White are both going to be very good for NU before  they?re done).
 
With the state of Husker hoops being what it is, and Collier?s role in the  
future of Husker hoops being in question at times (all the time?) this year, I  
think that the upcoming Iowa State game -- and the chance to start 3 and 0 in 
 the Big XII that goes with it -- is arguably the biggest in his coaching  
career.  It?s going to be tough to win every conference home game, even if  OU 
DOES end up being the toughest foe (although KU is looking better and  better). 
 But the road win at KSU gives you a golden opportunity to improve  
confidence, cohesiveness, and your place in the standings at the end of the  year.

Or more.  Most college teams will not maintain their current level of  play 
through the end of the season.  Most will either get better or  get worse.  My 
guarded optimism is based on the Maric and McCray  factor.  They ARE showing 
signs of life.
 
Yes, we need continued improvement.  It may or not happen but I can  see 
where it could and SHOULD come from.

Good news from the little Manhattan.  Aleks Maric got
his game back, leading the Huskers with 15 points as
the Huskers win a sloppy one 57-42.

Nebraska got off to fast starts at the start of the
game as well as the start of the second half in
opening up big leads.

A good road win for the Huskers; KSU had an RPI
ranking of #40.

Not so good news from Lincoln, the Lady Huskers lose
to #24 Mizzou 64-58.

Good Afternoon:

I'm pretty sure that Middle Tennessee State is a Division I school, having made the move from Division IAA to Division I a few years ago I believe. Nebraska has played MTSU in the past as well. As far as a home and home series that is extremely unlikely unless the MTSU "home" game is played at a neutral site like Atlanta or Nashville perhaps.

Nebraska now has a six day break before taking on Iowa State next Tuesday night at the Devaney Center in Lincoln. That game gets underway at 6:37 PM and will be televised in the State of Nebraska on FSN Midwest.

The final 2 games of 2005 certainly seemed to
reinvigorate the interest in tickets. Plus, there was
a large amount of ignorance as to the availability of
tickets in recent years.  On another forum, I chuckled
when I read that some fans were worried that the
$250/seat donation wouldn't be enough to get them
tickets.

Now there's a thought.  Have a homecoming game for Barry Turner at the Coliseum in Nashville (Tennessee Titans home field) just up the road from where he played high school ball in Brentwood.  Unfortunately, I don't think NU has the fan base in the southeast to make that game pay as well as say, Arrowhead or some other Midwestern venue as an alternate site.  And even though NU has had the Bullocks twins and Turner from this area in recent years, I can't see them luring any of the four or five star recruits from this area out of SEC country on a regular basis just because they might play a team from this area once in a blue (raider) moon.

Let's see...6,000 seats are available and there were 15,000 applicants. 

Am I the only one worried about the sell out streak ending with the new seats coming on-line??

Please help me with the semantics of the donation
process and how it relates to season tickets.

Example:  The university requires a $250 donation to
buy season tickets in a certain part of the stadium. 
Lets just say the tickets are $40 each.  For a 6 game
schedule a season ticket would cost you $490. Each
ticket under this scenerio costs $81.66.  

I guess my question is why don't they just say the
season ticket costs $490, or say that each game ticket
is $81.66? What is significant about splitting up the
cost of the ticket and the amount of the donation?

Remember..  There is no such thing as a dumb question.

The process of determining who the lucky fans are will start now with invoices going out on March 1st (this includes current season ticket holders too) and all payments for tickets and donations due by April 1st (no I'm not fooling). Here's a link to the story about the new football tickets:

This goes to prove that nothing succeeds like success.

I also think that lowered 'donations' improved the marketability
of these tickets.

Now, if they can just find enough schools to fill the schedule without
having to schedule a game against Doane....

One possible reason,  donations are tax deductible.  So if I pay $250 for
season tickets and $250 in a donation,  I get $ 50-100 off my taxes

The IRS has looked at the tax-deductibility of 'donations' tied to ticket
allocations for other schools, so far they haven't closed this particular 
loophole.  I suspect they'd have the wrath of Congress upon them in a 
heartbeat if they did.

I have a hard time justifying using the term "donation" when it is
required to get the tickets.  I don't blame Uncle Sam for looking into
how this kind of blackmail can be taxed.

In accordance with Section 6115 of the Internal Revenue Code, the amount of
one's total contribution deductible for Federal income tax purposes must be
reduced by the value of any benefit one receives in consideration for the
contribution.

Further, Section 170(1)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code values the
benefit of receiving "the right to purchase tickets for seating at an
athletic event" at 20% of the gift payment... This rule applies whether or
not tickets would have been readily available for purchase without a
contribution.

So, the amount of your contribution less the value of benefits received
(20%) will be fully deductible as a charitable contribution unless otherwise
reduce by other applicable rules and regulations of the IRS.


BOTTOM LINE:
A $250 'donation' can be counted as a $200 charitable contribution. The 
$200 deduction would be 'refundable' at your current tax rate.

1997 - NU vs. MU OT game - 'Flea Kicker' - I know NU had the ball first in 
OT and scored then held MU to win. 

Who won the coin toss for that game? I could not find this bit of trivia 
in game write-ups (most of them of course focused on the 'The Catch'). I 
assume MU won the toss and elected (as is conventional wisdom) to go on 
defense? Please let me know if you know.

My guess is they would barely been able to fill those seats if we had
lost one or two of the last three ball games.  And 2007 isn't a slam

I honestly doubt it.  I agree with the poster earlier who noted how much 
"ignorance" their has been about tickets for the past few years.  For 
whatever reason, people have gotten the impression that it's absolutely 
impossible to get tickets if you don't know someone or if you don't 
already have season tickets.  I'm betting a vast majority of the 15,000 
who applied fall into this category.

FWIW, We've been to probably 95% of home games going back to 1998, and 
only *once* did we have to pay over face value (the Notre Dame game in 
2001...I think we paid $150 a ticket).  There was at least one game this 
year that ticket brokers were selling for *under* face value...I believe 
it was the Wake Forrest game.

I dont' see much of a dropoff next year on the D, given that the starting  
line looks to be 4 seniors, and there are 5-6 bonafide starters competing at  
LB.  Even losing some of the secondary, most teams won't have much time to  test 
the new starters back there.
 
Given Z. Taylor's strides over the last few games, and the receiving corps,  
the entire season may revolve around the O-line play and the new punter.
 
I don't forsee a losing season next year, neither OSU nor A&M were very  good 
this year, so we should actually fare better against the south, and I see  no 
reason that NU should not win at least 4 games in the north, if not  sweep.
 
I am highly confident that there will be a winning season next year, I  think 
9 wins in the 12 game regular season, maybe 10-11, especially if the  Huskers 
could pull a huge early upset at USC before their new offensive players  gel.
 
GBR!!!

Message-ID: <290.3fa1ec6.30fad087@aol.com>

As the Huskers sit idle this weekend with their 2 and 0 conference mark (12  
and 3 overall), Big XII hoops action continues. 
 
Holy snikees, Kansas State, fresh off of their embarrassment at the hands  of 
Nebraska last Tuesday at home, goes to Kansas and beats the Jayhawks in the  
Phog!!!  The final was 59-55 and it had to be the biggest win in Jim  
Woolridge's career at K-State.  The heat is probably still on, but at least  he'll 
step back from the ledge ... he was one really down and despondent  dude after 
the loss to NU in Manhattan.
 
Non-conference play saw conference leader Texas take out #3-rated  Villanova, 
58-55.  That's a big one for a saggin' conference rep.   Oklahoma avoided 
going 0 and 3 in league play and deprived A&M their first 2  and 1 Big XII 
conference start ever with a 45-44 (look at some of these low  scores) win over the 
Aggies in College Station.  Terrell Everett scored  OU's last eight points, 
including a three-pointer with 6.1 seconds left.   Everett was the guy who 
missed the short shot late against the Huskers (Joe  McCray's trey to beat OU has 
to be the biggest shot of the young conference  season so far ... put the 
Huskers on a cloud and the Sooners a hole).
 
Texas Tech beat Iowa State in Lubbock 76-73 (scoring explosion!).  I  think 
this makes beating the Cyclones an even tougher task Tuesday night.   Oh well, 
get up for it ... it actually means something, boys!
 
Oklahoma State is up on Baylor in Waco at the half (16 pt.  lead with 4 
minutes left whitled to 33-22).  Baylor, as a condition of  their NCAA-penalty (at 
least I don't think it was self-imposed), wasn't allowed  to play ANY 
pre-conference games this year -- what a killer!!
 
Colorado tips-off in about an hour at Missouri.  Buffs started 10  and 1 but 
have lost their first two conference games.  Missouri -- like the  Huskers -- 
suddenly appear very much alive after much disappointment  early.  
 
Marquette, a victim in Lincoln this year and a victor over #2 UConn a short  
while back, got pounded today by West Virginia, 104-85.
 
Current or close-to-current conference standings (not including OSU's  
contest and whatever happens in Columbia):
Texas, 2-0, 14-2
Nebraska, 2-0, 12-3
Missouri, 2-0, 9-4
Texas Tech, 2-1, 10-7
Oklahoma State, 1-1, 11-5
Kansas, 1-1, 10-5
Texas A&M, 1-2, 11-3
K-State, 1-2, 10-4
Oklahoma, 1-2, 10-4
Iowa State, 1-2, 11-5
Baylor, 0-1, 0-1
Colorado, 0-2, 10-3
 
I think Iowa State, semi-desperate sitting at 1-2 in the conference,  is 
going to be tough to beat this next Tuesday.  Biggest game in Collier's  tenure at 
Nebraska.  Just my opinion, but all things considered, I really  think so.  
What an opportunity he and his team have sitting right in front  of them.  
Texas has to be considered the "best team in the conference"  right now, but who's 
number two?  
 
Candidly, all of the aforementioned probably means little to me if NU was  
sitting at 0 and 2 and 10 and 5 overall.  Not a fair-weather fan, just a  much 
different level of interest.

I have not done an update from the wrestling team lately, so this will be a good time to do it.

NU has a very young team but is sitting at 8-2 (should be 9-1)  and competing in the National
Duals this weekend. 

NU was not seeded in the top 8, (16 teams for Div 1, 16 for 2, 3, NAIA, etc), so they went up
against #7Iowa (seeded 5th), after upsetting Iowa, they had #6 and 4th seed Michigan and won again.
NU now will meet #1 Oklahoma State, a tough match, but NU matches up well against OSU and with a
couple of upsets can win.

Quick breakdown:

125# Fr Paul Donahoe was a prep All American. He is wrestling like a star, should qualify for the 
NCAAs and could place.  He is also small for a 125 # (natural weight about 120 #) so he will be 
at this weight for all 4 years.

133 Transfer Patrick Askerbian came from Cal Poly split the wrestle off over a FR who has yet to 
redshirt, so he is the starter. His pin (after Donahoe) staked NU to a 12-0 lead over Iowa which
was very big.

141 JR Domick Moyer was the starter last year at 133, and qualified for the NCAAs. 141 is a very tough
weight with the top 2 at Iowa State and Oklahoma. Still Moyer is a solid wrestler and should put
another solid season. NU also has a talented FR redshirting.

149 FR/SO Ryan Davis transfered from OSU. He was also a prep All Am sitting behind a multiple NCAA
champ at OSU.  Breathing problems have hurt, but that seems to be taken care of. Davis will be a 
very good wrestler in the next couple years. 

157 FR Chris Oliver (one few NE natives starting),  is also doing very well at 12-3 for the year and lost 
to the NCAA runner up from Iowa 8-6.   He also got a key pin against Michigan.

165 JR Marc Harwood was the starter at 174 last year now trading places with AA Jacob Klien. Harwood
did well last year but did not qualify for the NCAAs,  this year he should.

174 SR Jacob Klein was an AA as a SO, did not place last year. He defeated the third ranked wrestler 
(from Iowa) plus a solid kid from MI.  Klein is ranked 4 at the higher weight and seems to be settling in. 

184 NU had been wrestling a rFr who's natural class should be 165.  He was getting stomped. The
coaches pulled prep All Am Vince Jones out of the redshirt when the Iowa matched looked winnable
(NU had a good lead with 3 matches left). Iowa had the #2 ranked wrestler at 184 and Jones came in
and got the victory. Later he pinned the MU wrestler.

197 returning All Am SR BJ Padden is putting a solid season together. He was the only one to defeat
last years champ (OSU SR Jake Rosholt) so they will see eachother several times this year, including today.

HWT Jon May, SO, put a good season together last year, but did not qualify for the NCAAs.  HWT is a tought weight
this year, but he should have a solid year.

All together NU is putting a good season.  One loss was to #2 MN (not close) and another was a close match to 
Cal State Something, when Padden was out hurt and his backup was pinned (that is a 9 point swing).  The B12 (really
Big 5 ) season is starting up soon.  We will see how good NU really is,  however all 5 teams were at the National
Duals, and only NU and OSU are still in championship bracket. 

When the conf tournement starts, NU should hope to get all 10 guys qualified for the NCAAs, with Vince Jones at 184
that is much more likely. The top 3 at each class qualify plus 6 wildcards who are voted after the conf tourny. 

As you can see NU also has a very young team,  2 SRs, 2 JRs, the rest SO and FR.  

I will post something around conf tourney time

Message-ID: <285.3f8c4ec.30fc01f2@aol.com>

Oklahoma State ended up winning rather easily at Baylor, 66-48, and  Colorado 
took out Mizzou in Columbia, 74-71 behind Richard Roby's 33 points  (Mizzou's 
first conference loss).  Barely a week into conference season and  you've 
only got two teams (Texas and Nebraska) who have yet to lose a conference  game 
(and NU and Texas have only played two Big XII games whereas eight schools  
have already played three).
 
The peculiar thing about yesterday's wacky hoops weekend is that of all the  
conference games (non-conference had Texas beating 'Nova in Austin), the  road 
team won all but one!!  And that was Iowa State losing a close one to  Tech 
in Lubbock.  KSU won at KU, OSU won in Waco, OU won at A&M, CU won  at Mizzou 
... wow.
 
The Big XII Conference is noticeably down this year.  Teams two  through six 
aren't the caliber that we're used to seeing.  Oh  well, if the Huskers can 
capitalize, no apologies need to be  extended.  
 
ISU in Lincoln Tuesday night worries me.  I'll be impressed if NU  wins.

Message-ID: <43CB1859.2050901@cox.net>

I have a question about the rules in football brought on by watching the 
Colts vs the Steelers.

The Colts had the ball 3rd and goal on the 1 yard line (or 
thereabouts).  An offensive lineman moved and the ball
was moved back 5 yards.  So far so good.  Then a Steelers player was 
called for encroachment.  Instead of moving the
ball back to the 1 (a 5 yard penalty), they moved it halfway to the 
goal.  I always thought that a penalty that would cause
the ball across the goal line either way was moved halfway to the goal 
line.  If the penalty doesn't move the ball across the
goal line then the full penalty is inacted. 
    For example this is what I thought the rules were:

    Offense is on the defenses 7 yard line.  Defense has  an offside 
penalty.  The ball goes to the 2.
    Offense is on the defenses 4 yard line.  Defense is offside. The 
ball goes to the 2.
    Offense is on the offenses 8 yard line and they commit a personal 
foul.  The ball goes to the 4 yard  line.
     Offense is on the offenses 16 yard line and commits a personal 
foul  Since the penalty doesn't cause the
ball to go across the goal line, then it should go to the one.

    Can someone expalin where my thinking is wrong?

I thought a minor infraction inside the 20 was always 'half the distance'.

I'm also not sure that the NFL rules are the same as the college rules 
on that.

The Bears and Colts sure looked bad today.  I'm running out of teams I
care about in the playoffs, I guess I'll be watching the Super Bowl for
the ads, though I'm hearing rumors that they won't be all that great
this year, a continuing stream of mediocrity that is a backlash against 
Janet Jackson and the flatulating animals of recent years.

I believe that the penalty can never be assessed more than half the  distance 
to the goal.  So a personal foul at the 28yd line would move the  ball to the 
14.  Encroachment at the 6 would move the ball to the 3.   Personal foul at 
the 16 would place the ball at the 8.  One of the  exceptions to this would be 
pass interference in the endzone, which gives the  offense an automatic 1st 
down at the 1 - doesn't matter if  original line of scrimmage was at the 40.

That's the misunderstanding ... at least in the 2003 NCAA rulebook, the
standard says:

    ARTICLE 3. No distance penalty, including tries from on or inside the
    three-yard line, shall exceed half the distance from the enforcement
spot to
    the offending team's goal line [Exceptions: (1) Scrimmage downs, other
    than tries, under Rule 7-3-8 Penalty for Team B interference; and (2) on
    tries, defensive pass interference when the ball is snapped from outside
the
    three-yard line].

(7-3-8 is defensive pass interference inside the 2 yard line or in the end
zone, when the ball is placed at the 2 and an automatic first down is
awarded.)

So, in your example, the ball was at the 6 after the false start, but would
only be moved halfway to the 3 after the offsides.  Whether or not the
penalty would put the ball over the goal line is a standard that the rules
don't appear to support.

A few years back ( and rules always change so this  may have also) I asked this same question to a friend who was a ref and  he said it is half the distance if the ball would be placed inside the  five. Example: any 15 yard penalty inside the 20 is half the distance,  any 10 yard penalty inside the 15 is half the distance, and any 5 yard  penalty inside the 10 is half the distance. He was a highschool ref but  thought that college was the same on this. Like I said this was 5-6  years ago so the rules (even at the highschool level) may have changed.

Thanks for all of your answers.
It appears that this is a defense friendly rule since on the 
Indiannapolis game, the offensive penalty moved them 5 yards
away and the defensive penalty moved them back only 2+ yards. 
By the way, the refs must have been from the Sun Coast league as poorly 
as they refed.  On one of the more notable
non-penalties, the Colts jumped up at the same time, some of them going 
into the neutral zone touching the opposing
players  pointing at the Steelers saying they moved.  I didn't see any 
flags and the the refs said the Steelers didn't
move so there was no penalty on them.  Shouldn't a penalty have been 
called on the Colts for encroachment?

A LOSING SEASON IN 2006? Are you crazy? Most national publications, including SI, has us as a Top 15 or 20 program for next season. With all of our returning starters (and the starters that left UT and USC) we are a legit B12 title contender and BCS team.

I would be suprised (shocked) if NU doesn't have a winning record next 
year, but a losing season isn't out of the question.  The "national 
publications, including SI" aren't always right.  The SI 2005 preseason

I saw Henry listed as 6'6".  Either way, Callahan is really adding to the WR
ranks with some height.  His coach is really talking up his grasp of the
passing game and complex offenses.
(http://journalstar.com/articles/2006/01/16/huskerextra/doc43cb2f4cc5f14705372691.txt)
 More: "I wouldn&#8217;t term him as &#8216;raw,&#8217; " his coach Cleveland
said. "I would term him as a guy with a tremendous amount of upside. Will Henry
will go to the University of Nebraska and bust his butt every day. He&#8217;ll
go to class, he&#8217;ll become a great member of your community, and
he&#8217;ll become a stud (on the field)."

And, Puh-leeeeeeeaaaase!  What's with the talk of a losing season next year?  I
know that it wasn't the subject of Laura's post, so please don't start a thread
like that when everything but everything is looking up for 2006.

Yeah, and wasn't there a year when TSN picked Colorado as its preseason 
#1 and they had a losing season?

Texas and USC may be losing some great players to the NFL, but they're
both still loaded and may be the preseason #1 and #2 teams.  

However, even if the Huskers lose both those games it's tough for me to 
see 6 losses on the 2006 schedule, especially since there are still 
3 creampuffs yet to be named.

I for one believe Nebraska will have a good shot to win both of those games next year. In fact, I would be surprised if the Huskers did not win the Big 12 North title and get 9-10 wins.

Yeah, and wasn't there a year when TSN picked Colorado as its preseason 
#1 and they had a losing season?

Texas and USC may be losing some great players to the NFL, but they're
both still loaded and may be the preseason #1 and #2 teams.  

However, even if the Huskers lose both those games it's tough for me to 
see 6 losses on the 2006 schedule, especially since there are still 
3 creampuffs yet to be named.

Ditto. In fact, I would be shocked if they aren't in the B12 Championship Game and possibly a BCS game. With the exception of USC all of the tough games are at home, we return a whole lot of experience and a team in general that seems to finally be "getting" BC and the other coaches system. Throw in the opening of the new facilities and 2006 is poised to be a return to glory for the scarlet and cream. 

As for the pre-season #1 (as mentioned in a post by Mike Nolan), the likely choice will be LSU. They are L-O-A-D-E-D with talent and could be scary good like USC the last couple of seasons. They return most of the team that destroyed Miami in the Peach Bowl, including if I am not mistaken, their normal starting RB and QB who didn't even play in that game due to injury. 

Any way you cut it, anyone who has anything but high hopes and optimism for the 2006 Huskers is someone just being negative for the sake of being negative! 

GBR!

Yes I have high hopes for next year, but I also know how easily they can
be dashed.  The possibility of a big 12 championship is out there, but I
also see us as one major injury away from just barely making a bowl.

Most national publications had Tennessee ranked as a

as high as 3 last year and they finished 5-7.

While no doubt they always play us tough, I just can't see the Huskers losing 2 in a row at Jack Trice, one of the worst stadiums in the B12. And if Iowa State does beat us, I will be there, just like I was in 2004. 

I hope teams like Iowa State, Kansas and Missouri enjoyed the limited success they had against us the last few seasons because 2006, provided they stay healthy, will be a season where the Huskers continue to "Restore The Order" and once again smack these teams around en route to the B12 Championship and the BCS.

Go Big Red!

Message-ID: <1137440967.43cbf8c7e4a54@webmail.inebraska.com>

I mentioned that Will Henry is listed at 6'6".  Two other WRs are listed on the
recruit list as 6'4": Purify and Holt.  It's always a gamble as to how they
will turn out, but I really like this trend of going after tall receivers. 
With Todd Peterson (6'4") and Chris Brooks (6'2") they have some receivers in
the mix that could strike fear among 5'10" and shorter DBs next season.  A
receiving corps with height and speed and experience, particularly if a couple
newcomers pan out well in their first year, is something that I can't remember
the Huskers ever having.  Granted, they haven't recruited in that direction in
the past, but still...for years you saw Roy Williams and the like tearing apart
college secondaries.  It would be great to see this at NU.

And, I heard that Henry was considering going to a military academy but he saw a
recruiting video in which the voice kept saying, "Fire at will!"  ;)

Recent history is littered with similar examples.  In 2000, Alabama was 
ranked around #3 by most "experts" and went 3-8.  In 2001, SI picked 
Oregon State to win the national title.  They finished 5-6.  In 2002, 
Nebraska was ranked around 10-15 by most preseason publications and we 
went 7-7.  In 2003, Auburn was ranked in the top 5 by most publications 
and wound up going 8-5.  In 2004, Kansas State was ranked 10-15 by many 
publications and they went 4-7.

I don't expect Nebraska to have a losing season next year, but I also 
think it's a tad ridiculous to delcare ourselves as "BCS contenders" in 
January.  A lot can change in the offseason, and this team still has a 
lot to prove.  The wins over Colorado and Michigan were steps in the 
right direction, but those teams had a combined 14-11 record.  Despite 
the talent they lose, Texas and USC are going to be much harder to defeat.

I'm pretty certain at all levels, and for a long, long time, any 15 yard
penalty inside the 30 and any 5 yard penalty inside the 10 is half the
distance.  It doesn't make sense otherwise.  If a 15 yarder were only
half the distance from the 20 and in, a penalty from the 21 would be
worse (ball at the 6) than a penalty from the 19 (ball at the 9 1/2).

On that non-penalty, I don't think the ball was ever snapped.  Did they
wind up blowing the whistle?  I guess that would be an inadvertent
whistle and no play, with a reset of the play clock.  If they didn't
blow the whistle, it should've been delay of game on the Steelers once
the 25 second clock went.  Those didn't seem to be playoff-caliber refs,
did they?

Thanks for all of your answers.
It appears that this is a defense friendly rule since on the
Indiannapolis game, the offensive penalty moved them 5 yards away and
the defensive penalty moved them back only 2+ yards. 
By the way, the refs must have been from the Sun Coast league as poorly
as they refed.  On one of the more notable non-penalties, the Colts
jumped up at the same time, some of them going into the neutral zone
touching the opposing players  pointing at the Steelers saying they
moved.  I didn't see any flags and the the refs said the Steelers didn't
move so there was no penalty on them.  Shouldn't a penalty have been
called on the Colts for encroachment?

Is true except for pass interference where in college if the penalty occurs inside the 17 yard line, the ball is placed at the 2.  In the pros it is a spot foul unless it occurs in the end zone where the ball is placed on the 1.

Subject: [Husker] Big XII Basketball -- Iowa State at Nebraska
Message-ID: <259.54735aa.30fe9414@aol.com>

Tip-off is tonight at 6:30 p.m. (televised on Fox Sports Net -- Time Warner  
Cable channel 37 in Lincoln and Cox Cable channel 47 in Omaha).  Plenty of  
decent seats remain, I'm sure.
 
Nebraska (12-3, 2-0) attempts to start 3 and 0 in Big XII play for the  first 
time EVER ... also attempting to start 3 and 0 in conference play for the  
first time since 1976 (when they started 4 and 0 in the Big 8).  And here I  
just THOUGHT it had been a while since a 3-zip conference start.
 
Iowa State (11-5, 1-2) will give NU a big test.  Guards Curtis Stinson  and 
Will Blalock are the strength of their team.  Very good players.   Last year, 
NU won in Ames, ISU won in Lincoln.  ISU's last seven games in  the Devaney 
Center have been decided by six points or fewer.  And here I  just THOUGHT they 
always played us tough here.
 
Iowa State starts Hubilek and Marsden on the baseline, listed at 6-11 and  
6-10, respectively.  Still, Nebraska should have an advantage on the two  
youngsters down low (they are also a sophomore and freshman, respectively) when  it 
comes to physical and experienced play with Aleks Maric, B.J. Walker and Wes  
Wilkinsen.
 
It'll be interesting to see what the attendance will be like tonight.   You'd 
hope they could draw at least 10,000 for this one, but ...
 
Big XII note from last night (and FYI, the only other conference game  
tonight is Texas Tech at conference-leading Texas) ... Mizzou some how came back  
and beat Kansas in overtime in Columbia 89-86 behind Thomas Gardner's 40 points  
(very good outside shooter; quick release).  Gardner hit a three-pointer  
with about five seconds left to send it to OT.  Mizzou reached OT following  two 
late KU misses from the charity stripe (I hope NU's 62 percent season  
percentage fromthe line doesn't come back to drill them anytime soon).   These two 
teams are not-to-be-confused with vintage Roy Williams or Norm  Stewart-led 
squads of the past.  Mizzou climbs to 3 and 1 in conference ...  KU falls to 1 and 
2.

Thud.  Iowa State took it to Nebraska tonight in most every aspect of  the 
game.  Curtis Stinson put on a show for the second consecutive  year in the 
Devaney Center.  He should be everybody's all-conference  player.  Stinson scored 
28 and dished out 6 assists.  Will Blaylock  was outstanding as well.  'Clones 
were hitting just over 50 percent from  behind the arc last time I looked, 
and around 50 percent from the  floor.  They deserve all the credit for 
outplaying NU all the way around  tonight.  Dourisseau and Wilkinsen got into first 
half foul trouble which  limited their time.  ISU won the game with a 23-6 run 
(if my math was  correct) to close the first half.
 
This one hurts.  However, the Big XII this year is going to  resemble the 
Nebraska weather -- drastic changes in a matter of days.  Joe  McCray didn't play 
a second in the first half (back concerns?), but then played  most all of the 
second half after going in to the game for the first time just a  couple 
minutes into the second half.  Strange.   Back-stiffening-up-concerns?  I haven't 
heard.
 
NU's freshmen guards (Jamel White and Marcus Walker, who started in place  of 
McCray) played like freshman guards at times.  Too many  turnovers.  But then 
again, Charles Richardson had trouble with ISU's  pressure too.  ISU's 
trapping and pressing defenses were better than  Nebraska's defensive efforts.  
Eighty-eight points says it all.
 
Iowa State hit open shots and they hit contested shots.  They probably  
"needed" this one more than NU did (didn't want to go to 1 and 3 in the  league and 
"needed" a split during their Lubbock/Lincoln junket), but  Nebraska wasn't 
up to the task before the biggest crowd of the year (which still  wasn't THAT 
big and included one of the top corner sections clad in 'Clone  yellow).
 
I'm a heck of a lot more disappointed in the way NU played tonight than I'm  
letting on.  But ISU showed up and then some.  I was concerned going  in that 
they were going to be tough, and they were.  Texas could separate  from the 
rest of the league up top, and Baylor could separate at the  bottom.  Kansas 
"technically" and currently (it's still early) sits  11th in the league.  I think 
positions two through 11 are a crap  shoot.

Just a couple of notes from the Cyclone side of the wall.  Curtis
Stinson found out shortly before the game started that his mother's
heart had stopped and she was rushed to the hospital.  He seemed to be
playing with added motivation, although he is simply an outstanding
player.  Also, the Cyclones have consistently been getting outrebounded
all season.  This was quite a feat for them to outrebound the Huskers.
According to Rahshon Clark, all of the big guys got together prior to
the game and discussed what they needed to do to get the job done on the
boards.  Hmmm...don't you wish everything was as easy as getting
together and discussing what you need to do, and then doing it?!?

It is interesting that these two teams seem to consistently struggle in
the other's home arena.  Should be an interesting game down the road in
Ames.

Read today that McCray was disciplined for "unspecified violation of team

I too seem to have caught this fever of anticipation for the 2006 season.
The Huskers appear to have a sporting chance to truly make in impact early
in the year. We have a lot of starters returning on both sides of the ball,
our two most formidable foes have lost major star power and the coaching
staff appears to be pushing all the right buttons at the right time.

Now we also have a new assistant coach of a very high caliber, with existing
talent emerging and in-flux of what appears to be yet another promising
freshman class.

Cautious optimism does indeed appear to be in order.

OK, I know that this is major college B-ball, BUT if a guy is told that his
mother's heart has stopped and she is being rushed to the hospital.... maybe
you would want to be getting yourself there??? Sometimes a stopped heart can
be serious and may be a sign of a more serious condition like death? Maybe
he was told he could go if he had a nice game... thus the added motivation.

Speculation on local radio today suggested that Joe
McCray was late arriving for the game.  Reportedly, he
arrived at the Devaney Center 45 minutes before the
game.  Greg Sharp and Matt Davison were baffled as to
why McCray wasn't playing in the first half, so the
suspension was not announced before the game.

I thought the turning point of last night's game was
the final minute of the first half.  Iowa State nailed
2 three-pointers to extend a 5 point lead to 11,
sucking the wind out of the crowd and the team as they
went into the locker room.  When you consider that
Dourisseau and Wilkinson missed most of the first half
due to foul trouble, I thought the Huskers played well
for the first 13 minutes of the first half, and not
too badly for the first 19.  But the last minute put
them in a hole they couldn't dig themselves out of.

Actually, I believe his sister called him, and conveyed to him his
mother's wishes for him to play in the game.  He has since flown out to
New York to be with her.

It looks like the Huskers return to form in the final
two games of the 2005 season has given fund raising a
boost in the arm.  The Journal-Star reports that two
prominent boosters are getting ready to jump on board
with the first major donations in over a year.

http://journalstar.com/articles/2006/01/19/huskerextra/doc43cf293328513748286417.txt

Also, I'm not sure it's been announced here, but Troy
University officially announced their 2006 schedule
last month, which includes a September 23rd game at
Nebraska.  That likely leaves 2 "TBA" games...

In looking around for information on other rumored
2006 opponents, I came across the following story: 
Former Husker QB Micky Joseph has been named head
football coach at Desire Street Academy.  Desire moved
from New Orleans to Niceville, Florida after Hurricane
Katrina, and will move this summer to Baton Rouge.

Subject: [Husker] Big XII Basketball Game Day - Saturday, January 21
Message-ID: <145.5505806b.3103b589@aol.com>

The Big XII hoops season runs past the quarter pole today with a full slate 
of conference games, including the ESPN nationally-televised tilt between 
Nebraska and Kansas in Lawrence at 3 p.m.  The standings heading into today's 
competition look like this:

Texas, 3-0, 15-2
Missouri, 3-1,10-5
Nebraska, 2-1, 12-4
Oklahoma State, 2-1, 12-5
Colorado, 2-2, 12-3
Kansas State, 2-2, 11-4
Iowa State, 2-2, 12-5
Texas Tech, 2-2, 10-8
Oklahoma, 1-2, 10-4
Kansas, 1-2, 10-6
Texas A&M, 1-3, 11-4
Baylor, 0-3, 0-3

Texas is probably the only team in the league that?s going to be any higher 
than a five or six seed in the NCAA tourney.  Opportunities abound for 
everyone.  You?re not going to see the customary six bids extended to the conference 
this year.  Maybe only three (then again, any speculation on post-season at 
this point is subject-to-daily-change).  NU?s got their work cut out for them 
when you look at competing against Iowa State, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas Tech, 
Oklahoma State ? sheesh, teams that ALWAYS seem to make the tourney that are 
fighting for their lives for the first time in years.!

I?m not close to being able to hazard a guess as to who the second best team 
in the conference is.

I think most every game, with the exception of games against Baylor and some 
against Texas, are toss-ups ? home or away.  I think Nebraska has a chance to 
win in Lawrence today.   I?ll be disappointed if they get blown out and look 
like they?re not prepared.

The Cornhuskers are a 12-point underdog according to the Latest Line.  Kansas 
isn?t "vintage Kansas" ? but they are in the Phog and I have no read on who 
will show up for Nebraska.  Today?s Big XII games:

Texas Tech at Oklahoma
Texas A&M at Iowa State
Nebraska at Kansas
Colorado at Oklahoma State
Texas at Baylor
Missouri at Kansas State

RANDOM ROUNDBALL RAMBLINGS:  I look at Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas and 
OU (with Bobby, Eddie, Self and Sampson) ? and you know their coaches will 
keep them competitive all year.  I think Iowa State may be the second best team 
in the conference.  But I also think they are capable of inconsistent play.  
Their backcourt gives them a chance in every game, home or away.  If Taj Gray 
from Oklahoma was pre-season player of the year, Curtis Stinson HAS to be 
included in the conversation.  Kansas State and Colorado were both 0 and 2 before 
winning their next two.  A&M has to be disappointed that they?re 1 and 3.  I 
expect them to at least push ISU in Ames today.  I?d be surprised (and 
disappointed) if Missouri ends up being any better than .500 in the conference this 
year.  Lots of teams will end up either 8 and 8, 7 and 9 or 9 and 7, I would 
think.

Final Score:  Texas A&M 86, Iowa State 81, in overtime in Ames.  I thought A&
M would play the Cyclones tough today.  It?s really difficult to show up every 
game with a focused, intense effort in a balanced league.  Acie Law and 
Joseph Jones had great games for the Aggies, and a guy named Kenneth White came off 
the bench late to nail two long three-pointers.  Curtis Stinson had 19 in the 
first half for ISU; ended up fouling out in OT with 27.  A&M really needed 
today?s game and their effort reflected that.  They didn?t want to go 1 and 4 
in league play.  

Final Score:  Oklahoma 60, Texas Tech 48 in Norman.  Tech looked horrible in 
the first half, down 32-12, then rallied to within four points in the second 
half.  I don?t think Bobby?s going dancing with this group.  Their post-season 
possibilities are appearing remote as they sink to 10-9 overall, 2-3 in 
league play.  Oklahoma improves to 2-2 in league, 11-5 overall.  Oklahoma?s a 
flawed team, but they might be as good as anyone this side of Texas.

Interesting happenings from around the country.  Two previously unbeaten 
teams tumble from the ranks.  Number-one-ranked Duke goes down at Georgetown, 
87-84.  St. Johns knocked off previously unbeaten Pittsburgh 55-50.  Only one 
unbeaten left -- Florida -- who plays at Tennessee later today.

For what it?s worth, Iowa gets pummeled by the biggest margin ever in East 
Lansing by Michigan State, 85-55.  And to prove that there?s no such thing as a 
"sure thing," number-13-ranked Wisconsin loses at home to out-of-nowhere North 
Dakota State, 62-55!!  Wisconsin?s a good team; solid program.  There?s no 
explanation.

Nebraska-Kansas, Colorado-Oklahoma State and Texas-Baylor are all just 
underway.  Missouri-Kansas State later tonight.

Halftime Score:  Kansas 51, Nebraska 30

This looks like a poorly-guided unit.  This isn?t a vintage Kansas squad and 
they?re pounding NU.  Nebraska?s defensive "effort" is ridiculous today.  
Between this and Iowa State? ? very poor defense.  I know, Kansas "can?t miss" 
and they?re shooting 73 percent in the first half, but that?s got a lot to do 
with the fact that no one?s guarding them.

The offense isn?t much better.  25 percent from-the-floor with three minutes 
to go in the first half.  NU couldn?t make a two-footer if their life depended 
on it today.  Joe McCray threw up some horrible shots.  Jason Dourisseau has 
been a hindrance.  But it?s been a true team effort.

Sheesh, anybody watching this?  I don?t know if I can anymore.

Colorado?s leading at Oklahoma State at halftime, 39-30.

I think this was the game that sealed Collier's fate.  I think Barry will be 
on his way out probably lots quicker than expected.  I don't want to be a 
negative Nate, but man...the preparation for these games was horrible. They 
played horrendously and Barry got outcoached, AGAIN.

I say the search committee is already cranking out the names.

Subject: [Husker] Nebraska?s Nationally-Televised First-Half Embarrassment


Halftime Score:  Kansas 51, Nebraska 30

This looks like a poorly-guided unit.  This isn?t a vintage Kansas squad and
they?re pounding NU.  Nebraska?s defensive "effort" is ridiculous today.
Between this and Iowa State? ? very poor defense.  I know, Kansas "can?t 
miss"
and they?re shooting 73 percent in the first half, but that?s got a lot to 
do
with the fact that no one?s guarding them.

The offense isn?t much better.  25 percent from-the-floor with three minutes
to go in the first half.  NU couldn?t make a two-footer if their life 
depended
on it today.  Joe McCray threw up some horrible shots.  Jason Dourisseau has
been a hindrance.  But it?s been a true team effort.

Sheesh, anybody watching this?  I don?t know if I can anymore.

Colorado?s leading at Oklahoma State at halftime, 39-30.

6 years of program building and we get these kind of
pitiful performances?  No question that a change must
be made.

An example of how a coaching change can turn a program
around in (1) year:  Tennessee fired Buzz Peterson
last year.  His teams looked remarkably like our
husker teams.  Hire Bruce Pearl, sign a couple of
players, make an effort to gain the fans back and look
what happens.

It can be done at Nebraska. No more of this give him 4
or 5 years to build a program though.  Do it in 2 or 3
or you won't ever do it.

Man I'm sick of this crap!!!

Good Morning All:

I'm not going to comment on whether changes are needed in the men's basketball coaching staff as I don't care to get into those arguments. I will refer to a comment made by another list subscriber Todd Richards in Tennessee, quoting here: 

"Do it in 2 or 3 or you won't ever do it."

In the world of Nebraska Athletics this is not a financially sound position to take. Quite honestly the University of Nebraska cannot afford to change head coaches every two to three years. The contract buyouts are too big, and no one is going to come in here without a four to five year contract and some clauses that make firing them cheap and easy. 

Right now Bill Callahan's base salary ($330,000 annually when last I looked) is greater than Barry Collier's, however if we let Coach Collier go I'm almost certain the base salary for the next basketball coach will be larger than Bill Callahan's and we simply cannot afford that. I would not look to the Warren Buffet's,  David Sokol's or Walter Scott's of the state of Nebraska to bail us out either, in fact it's hard to say whether any of them have even shown an interest in contributing to our current 50 million dollar debt on our most prized sport - football. 

Basketball is going to take a long time to build or rebuild depending on your point of view here and whether Barry stays or we replace him the next coach will not come in with a do it in 2 or 3 or your out the door mandate. Furthermore the jury is still out as to whether the Bill Callahan hire was actually a good hire, we'll have to wait a few more years to determine its place in Husker history. It's only been two years since the one man search committee found a football coach after 40 days and 40 nights of Husker agony, are we ready to do it all again and this time at a still higher price?

All due respect to Mr. Fead and his opinion.  6 years
of Barry Collier is plenty.  Nebraska basketball is an
embarrassment to the entire state.  

While I do understand the economics Gary is referring
to regarding coaching changes, the point I'm making is
that if you get the right guy a turnaround can be made
almost instantly in basketball as opposed to football
which has different dynamics and takes longer. 
Getting the right guy?  I don't know how to do that
but I've seen it done other places and am watching it
currently in my own backyard.  The Tennessee -
Nebraska basketball situations have been remarkably
similar over the years.  Tennessee did something about
it.  Nobody bankrolled the buyout at Tennessee to my
knowledge.

Maybe nobody else cares and is willing to accept
sub-par inconsistant efforts.  All people really want
is to see the players do the best they can on a
consistant basis.  This is not happening.

I believe that there is enough talant on this current
team to not get blown out by 40 something to Kansas,
26 to Creighton, and by 13 at home to ISU.  It will
continue to happen as long as this current staff
allows excuses, and does not punish lack of effort.

There appears to be a common malady in the Husker basketball losses: backcourt
play and ball handling.

I was quite shocked by the performance at Creighton, and though it's widely
accepted that one game does not a season make, it was a sign of things to come
because while effort can come and go, the ability to handle the ball, run an
offense and choose shots well does not.

The losses appear to have in common a meltdown during which the Huskers time and
again give up the ball, and this lights a fire under the opposing outside
shooters.  This also takes from the intensity of the Husker defense.  This did
not happen against OU or KSU.  Are the players capable or not well coached?

The inability to handle the ball is about the worst weakness a team can have and
probably can be attributed to new players in the backcourt and preparation. 
Collier has certainly been exposed as a poor coach in this respect.  If he is
to be replaced, I would suggest trying to find a coach that will relocate here
from an east coast or southeast city with recruiting ties and the ability to
attract the kind of athletes that OU, UT and KU are getting.  When you're
counting on guys like McCray to pick you up, you're in trouble.

Message-ID: <4F3BDB8A21E06943A7AF378A57513402014AE45F@Chiba.alphavideo.com>

Greetings Husker Baseball Fans,

The Huskers Baseball Team opened up camp for the 2006 season last Thursday. The team is ranked 4th pre-season by Collegiate Baseball and 10th pre-season by ESPN/USA Today. They were selected by B12 Coaches to finish 2nd in the conference behind Texas in their pre-season poll. Currently 4 Big 12 teams are ranked in the ESPN/USA Today pre-season Top 25 with defending National Champion Texas #1, Nebraska #10, Missouri #13 & Baylor #25. 

The team returns 16 lettermen from last year's record setting CWS team including pre-season All-American starting pitchers Joba Chamberlain & Johnny Dorn along with closer Brett Jensen. Those 3 are also on the Clemens Award Watch List, making NU and Oregon State the only teams placing 3 pitchers on the Clemens list. 2005 Freshman All-American Tony Watson will round out the starting staff as the #3 starter. 

Position player wise the Huskers certainly lost a lot of experience and talent from last year's team but returns All-Big 12 infielder Ryan Werhle and Lincoln NCCA Regional MVP Andy Gerch. A lot of freshman and sophmores played a vital role in last year's run to the CWS...experience that will be valuable going into the 2006 campaign. 

The Huskers open the season February 16th in Charleston, SC with the home opener slated for March 10 against Alabama. Other schedule highlights include a return to Minneapolis March 3-5 for the Dairy Queen Classic and games against Notre Dame, Arizona and Minnesota. The Creighton games are slated for April 4 and May 16 with both games being held at The Blatt. Big 12 home series are on tap against Kansas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech & Oklahoma with Big 12 road series against Kanasas State, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma State & Baylor.  

Overall I think the outlook for this year's team is solid although the schedule, especially the B12 schedule is BRUTAL as we play all of the top Big 12 teams (Missouri, Texas & Baylor) on the road. Pitching will have to carry this team early as the young bats come around. My expectations for this team are a Top 3 finish in the B12, an NCAA Regional appearance, a possible NCAA Super Regional appearance and a very, very outside shot at a return to the CWS. 

Have a great day!

Go Big Red!!!!

Jeff

Favorite True Freshman: Matt Slauson. Without him, the season might 
well have ended much differently.

Favorite Redshirt Freshman: Nate Swift. With a name like Swift, he 
has to be good.       :-)

All-Squad Favorite: Brandon Rigoni. The shortest guy with the longest reach.

I always liked David Dyches. I don't think he got what was coming to him. 
before Congdon got here.
I would also say Brandon Rigoni always hustling. And Pork Chop he was the 
team leader I seen him in the faces of the big ole lineman when they would 
blow an assignment in between plays.

[Husker] 2006 and 2007 Schedules Announced






Confirming some other schools intentions, Nebraska has

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff! What about third base? Who's going to replace Gordon? 
What about Ledbetter at first? 

Anyone else on this list going to Minnesota's Dairy Queen classic? I know 
Notre Dame's been there before.... not so sure about AZ. 
Just so you know how to find me, I'll be the loud guy.

well, Marics has gone to the locker room.... injury..... with assistance. 

Doesn't look good at CU, I'm turning this thing off....

I hope that Collier survives this year. It's nearly always my belief that 
it's too easy to start the "fire the coach" stuff, especially when they 
haven't done anything particularly wrong. Collier has run a good program, 
but he spent his first two to three years underestimating what it takes to 
compete in the Big 12. 

I find his recruits of the last two years intriguing - Marics, McCray, and 
now White and Walker, particuarly. This is still a young team, and it's 
clear they don't have ball handling nor real leaderership skills. I hope 
that they can win their home games, because they're probably going to get 
rocked on the road because of lack of ball handling. I can give Collier 
another year based on those recruits, and I still have reservations about 
SP going through another coach hiring, even in a sport that most 
Nebraskans don't care about. 

It's 44-26 at this point. Without Marics, it might be another ass-kicking. 
If it bothers you so much, send some money to the AD.

Buckman will be at first if he has learned to hit for Avg. and not go for 
the home run.
And I have the same question at 3rd  and also at SS

I like Steve Stone's and here are my top two:

The top of my list is Zack Taylor.  First of all, his name makes him sound like
one of the signateurs of the Declaration of Independence.  He brings his little
sister who has Downs Syndrome to the games. He took an unbelievable beating and
nearly every time got back up throughout a long season--he could have gotten
frustrated and started whining but never did. And he, IMO, single-handedly
pulled the season from the jaws of sub-500 or worse, and saved us all from a
bitter civil war in the Husker Nation.

A close second is Colonel Greg Austin who may need bionic knees before he leaves
UNL.

I also have some favorite proposed nicknames for Brent Mussberger next
September:

Terrence "The Flying" Nunn
"Dirty Harry" Callahan
Frantz "Ferdinand" Hardy
Todd "No Relation" Peterson
Ola, "Me LLamo" Dagunduro, and
Cody of the Glenn

Every Husker fan has his secret favorite(s) in one category or
another. Here are some of mine:

Favorite True Freshman: Matt Slauson. Without him, the season might
well have ended much differently.

Favorite Redshirt Freshman: Nate Swift. With a name like Swift, he
has to be good.       :-)

All-Squad Favorite: Brandon Rigoni. The shortest guy with the longest reach.

jcc> Jeff, Jeff, Jeff! What about third base? Who's going to replace Gordon?
jcc> What about Ledbetter at first? 

The infield will consist of Brandon Buckman at first base, second I
think is going to be Jake Mort (not sure), Ryan Wherle will move from
2nd to short to try and replace Simmokitas, and Jake Opitz will try to
fill the biggest shoes of all at third.

I have a lot of confidence in Wherle as he really looked good last
year and Opitz certainly had spots (although he didn't play that much
coming off the bench) and Buckman could be great.

Andy Gerch will probably have a breakout year this year to continue
what he did late last year.  He's a flat out great ballplayer.

Our strength is CLEARLY our pitching though.  Our top two starters
will probably end up all Big XII, and our closer is back and may also
be the best in the Big XII.

It will be an interesting year though, this is a VERY young team this
year.  Expect a little up and down, especially in hitting.

Skylar

P.S. I might the only person on this list who starts counting the days
to next baseball season every June....

If you want to replace Collier, how about Floyd Irons?  He may have only 
been a High School coach (Vashon, St Louis, MO), but you can't beat his 
record, nor his pluck.  He is probably the most under appreciated coach in 
the Midwest.  If you haven't heard of him, do a Google search.  He is one 
amazing coach.

That makes perfect sense. Let's hire a guy who has no experience at the 
collegiate level, let alone what it takes to compete in the Big 12, and 
have him spend his first three years trying to figure out what's going on. 


We already have/had that problem. The idea is not repeating it.

What about Bob Huggins formerly of Cincinnati? I'm not sure what kind of
salary he would demand but he would be a good choice. Steve Lavin (sp?)
is also out there but I'm leery of him and his NCAA violations that
follow him.

If everyone wants to replace Collier, who would you go after?  What  
is Bob Huggins doing these days?

I'm going to the Dairy Queen Classic...

Went two years ago when it was FSU, WVU, and Minn.  Buckman will likey play
1st this year, which is a downgrade at the plate for sure, and possibly
defensively.  Bohanan was penciled in as the starter at 3rd, but he's out
for the year with a shoulder injury. That is going to be a trouble spot for
the huskers this year.

Huggins has heart problems, which would not get any better coaching the Huskers.
 We don't need "This cardiac arrest brought to you by Fontenelle Hybrids."
Lavin?  Egad.  His hair alone would turn off boosters.

We need someone with a strong work ethic, overachieving personality, who can
connect with student athletes, and a deep-rooted tie to Nebraska sports.  Yes,
we need Frank Solich.  It appears that he knows as much about putting a
well-skilled team on the court as Collier, and there would be no pressure to
move to a passing offense--basketball is all option.  Furthermore, all
basketball coaches really need to do during a game is pose for the camera like
it's the final scene of a feature film (in some broadcasts it seems you see as
much coach as game).

And let's remember, basketball success really doesn't matter that much here, and
Frank's popularity alone would bouy fund raising.  He's had a DUI, which
connects, albeit weakly, to the movie "Hoosiers", and he's not very tall, like
Coach K and Dean Smith.  And, he's had more wins in Boulder than Collier.  I
despair, however, that he'd probably rather stay in football.

Ricky could end up being one of the gems of the class. I'm not thrilled that
he decided to join in the media circus and make his announcement on ESPN ...
that's a bit too much showboating for my taste. Hopefully Ricky has his head
on his shoulders. We'll find out anon, I suppose!

There was a reason  that Huggins was forced out at Cincinnati......  do 
you really want that type of basketball program at Nebraska? 

To be blunt, and not directed at you, Marc, the fact that this list can't 
come up with viable names might be an indication of how little presence 
the basketball program has.

Looking at the schedule I have only one possible qualm. That would be
except for the week between A&M and CU we have no off weeks between any
of our games. The Huskers better hope they don't have an injury problem
or the season could sink fast.

Good Day All:

I'm going to break from my self imposed ban on commenting on players/coaches for a moment to say this - 

If there is a coaching change in the men's basketball program (quite honestly I don't want a coaching change) at the end of the season, I hope there is no consideration given to two specific, and currently unemployed, coaches.

If either of them were to be hired here I would seriously reconsider my annual donation (yes I know I'd lose my tickets but that minor compared to the integrity issues that NU might be faced with). We do not need the baggage that either of these two individuals would possibly bring to this univeristy.

And isn't that a rather odd slot for A&M - next-to-last game?

The Nebraska legislature will consider a bill to outlaw scalping 
tickets; it would impose a $500 fine for each transaction (presumably, 
each ticket sold). It's good to know they have no serious problems to 
consider.

Since we are being "specific" who might they be?

Let me preface this by saying I have never been to a home B-ball game at
Devaney. I did go to a NU game in Laramie againt WYO. While I will travel 10
hours to see football, I'm not that avid of a B-ball fan.

I say give Collier awile longer. He is a decent person and may look like a
genius in a couple years. Look how much smarter Callahan got between the
Kansas and Colorado games and that was just a couple weeks. How much better
could we be if the fans really got behind this program. Besides.... do we
really want someone picking us a new basketball coach who's 1st choice for
football was Houston Nutt?

You can't just coach up a winning program over night. Look how Knight is
doing at Texas Tech. I doubt anyone knows b-ball more than him.

How many days untill spring practice?

If this bill doesn't outlaw ticket brokers (the real source of the 
problem) from doing the same thing, then it will likely have the 
opposite of the desired effect.  Tickets will be more expensive since 
there would be less competition in the 2nd-hand market.  Even if it does 
outlaw those despicable companies, I'm not convinced that it would make 
Husker tickets any easier to get ahold of for the average fan.

Message-ID: <20060127122743.GHRM5868.centrmmtao05.cox.net@[172.18.53.8]>

Good Morning:

Regarding the anti-scalping bill currently before the Nebraska Legislature, this has been brought up before and defeated or not gotten out of committee everytime it been introduced before, so I would be surprised if this one doesn't meet the same fate. 

Now, that having been said if it does pass and become law it isn't going to have much effect on ticket prices. The ticket brokerages in Omaha will just move across the river into Council Bluffs (Iowa does not have an anti-scalping law) just like the brokers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area operate out of Hudson, Wisconsin a few short miles east of the metro.

If it becomes law it might eliminate or severely curtail sales outside the stadium but those sales will then move into bars etc., in Lincoln on game day and we all know LPD doesn't have time police as they have traffic problems to deal with and with an additional 6,500 people to cram into the stadium that means even more cars to move about in downtown Lincoln on game day.

Is the purpose of this to target Husker tickets or is it for the Qwest
center?  I would hazard a completely uninformed guess that it might be
targeted towards the Qwest center now that they are getting bigger acts.

I had a friend that was buying U2 tickets across the country in states
that didn't have scalping laws and selling on eBay.  It was a guaranteed
tripling of his money if not more (he could buy a total of 6 or 8 at a
time). I told him he was scum and he laughed all the way to the bank.

This CAN?T be filed under the heading, ?Shocking News.?
 
This nightmare of a season for Coach Collier MAY have just taken a turn for  
the better.  Maybe.  This sure as heck can?t hurt the overall  disposition of 
the team.  I hope they?ve bottomed out and will rebound and  show a little 
something the rest of the way (there ARE still 11 league  games left and a league 
tourney).
 
I?m not there at practice and in the locker room, but from what I?ve heard  
and seen, and from what has been written, Joe was out-of-control, selfish,  
immature and just not a very good player this year.  To say that he had  become 
a distraction is an understatement.  I won?t be surprised if NU  starts 
playing more inspired basketball beginning tomorrow (3 p.m. tip-off at  the Devaney 
Center against Missouri).
 
I?m trying to avoid the 15-yard piling-on penalty here, but anybody who?s  
been at the games this year has probably noticed Joe?s antics during timeouts  
(laughing, paying no attention to what?s being discussed, etc.) when he?s not 
 one of the five currently playing.  Did anyone see him laughing while  
sitting during the latter stages of the Colorado blowout loss in Boulder  Wednesday 
night?  
 
I hope he gets his head, priorities and life straightened out; but he had  
become an incredibly destructive element in the hoops program.  It was  getting 
tough to watch him embarrass himself on the court.  I hope Joe  someday ?gets 
it,? because he sure as heck doesn?t right now.

I had a few minutes and was humoring myself by
eyeballing the Rivals "Recruiting Rankings", and found
a few things that made me chuckle.

Currently, Rivals has the Huskers 20th, which has to
be disappointing to folks that follow the "rankings". 
Looking at other schools, that appears where they will
settle in at.  I looked at some other schools of note,
and found some other rankings interesting:

#64  Baylor
#69  Wake Forest
#72  Ohio
#75  Colorado
#85  Buffalo
#90  Fresno State
#108 Troy

Now, I think the whole recruiting rankings is a bunch
of hogwash; recruiting is important, but the rankings
are pure guesses.

Depending on how our last two spots get filled, we may easily move up into
the top 15. However,  our class is relatively JICO-heavy, and Rivals and
Scout give more credit for a 4-star high schooler than a 4-star JUCO. Some
of the classes are just sick ... Florida has something like 4 5-stars and 8
4-stars! USC isn't too far off.

Fortunately, our class is tops among the B12 north and 4th or 5th in the B12
altogether. Aos, as Mike points out, these rankings and stars are nothing
more than guesses. Even in our own class, some of the high-star guys won't
end up contributing like one, and a 2-star guy or two will end up being All
Big-12. Recruiting is fun to watch, but the results aren't truly known for
another 5 years.

Message-ID: <24b.5f822ea.310d6606@aol.com>

Nebraska responded to yesterday's disciplinary action against Joe McCray  
with one of their better showings of the year today at the Devaney Center.  
 
True freshman Jamel White, 6'3" point/shooting guard from Brooklyn, came  off 
the bench for a career high 28 points.  He led the charge in the second  half 
that put Nebraska over the top.  Made some big outside shots to  stretch the 
lead.  A couple of shots he took late were with ample  time left on the 
35-second clock.  One of those "no, no, no ... yes!" -type  of things.  He was 
really feelin' it.  White, Marcus Walker, and  Marcus Perry stand to garner more 
minutes and a bigger role in McCray's  stead.
 
Mizzou's Thomas Gardner, averaging over 21 a game coming in, can really  
shoot the ball.  He went for 40 against KU a couple of weeks ago on a Big  Monday. 
 The defense on him today was pretty good, despite him eclipsing  his 
average.  He didn't get many good looks in the last ten minutes of  the game when 
Nebraska built their lead.
 
NU improves to 3 and 3 in conference and 13 and 6 overall.  Elsewhere  today 
in the league, KU continued to play well, beating ISU in  Ames 95-85.  
Oklahoma State, NU's next opponent Tuesday  night in Stillwater, fell to 2 and 4 in 
the conference with a 92-90 overtime  loss in Lubbock to the Red Raiders.  
Baylor and A&M is  underway, with K-State playing in Boulder tonight (big league 
game matching two  of the hottest teams ... I believe that CU is going for 
their fifth straight  league win).  OU hosts league-leading Texas in Norman at 8 
p.m. tonight on  ESPN2.

  I guess since we beat OU and they beat UT, we should be #4 in the

I realize it's against list guidelines and I will get hammered for
daring to say anything positive about Collier.  But, what if he makes
the NCAA tournament?  Goes over .500 for the Big XII?  Does he keep
his job?  I would say yes, as that is a clear improvement from last
year AND I don't think the athletic department WANTS to look for a new
basketball head coach.

Even though Missouri is not the best team in the Big XII, they're
still pretty dang good and this is a good win.

Who's to say he isn't going to keep his job anyway? 

Over .500 in the Big 12 XII, and NCAA tournament - as if he got fired here 
because SP wants a reputation for firing successful coaches. Maybe that 
works......

Good Day:

Not unlike Skylar's question -

Right now NU is 3-3 in the conference and 13-6 over all, what happens if NU goes 5-5 for the remaining games ending up at 8-8 in the conference and 18-11 overall? This would be quite an improvement over last season. I cannot imagine firing this coach if that happens, however I guess I never thought they'd fire Frank Solich either. 

I think the suspension of Joe McCray is probably one of the better things that may have happened and we'll see how things play out. We've got Oklahoma State in Stillwater on Tuesday (ESPN+) and Baylor at home on Saturday (ESPN+), and both are winnable games. 

I think the thing the may do Barry in though is the attendance. I've been told that the goal for this season was averaging 10,000 per home game which we are nowhere near doing (the Missouri crowd of 8134 was a good start though), but we can build that number up though by having good crowds for our remaining homes games.

I can't figure this Husker basketball team out!  I've played, officiated and
watched enough basketball to know how schizophrenic a team can appear,
regardless of it's talent or effort level, but this is nuts.  Was the source of
the problem Joel McCray?  Could have been.  Effort?  I have been crossed up on
this one too.  In interviews, Dourisseau et al. have talked about righting the
ship and coming out and playing hard, showing pride, etc., and ISU happens,
then KU happens.  After Creighton you think that maybe it's coaching and the
talent level, then OU and KSU happens, then MU happens (granted, MU is on the
skids, but not as bad as NU appeared to be).   One thing appears consistent,
the core group of Wilkinson, Dourisseau, Richardson and Maric are willing to
keep fighting and try to get back on track.

I still think that the team has the talent to get to the NIT, or the Dance with
a remarkable, overachieving run in the B12.  I have to think that team unity
will improve and consistency will improve without McCray.  Basketball teams can
be affected more severely than a football team by one bad apple--I'm not going
to run the floor hard and take an elbow in the chops to pull a rebound or fight
through a moving pick just so some would-be Kobe can launch another ill-advised
off-balanced, floating NBA three.  Developing trust and getting to know each
other on the court could help to keep the backcourt from those meltdowns that
killed them in their three conference losses.  I'm a bit optimistic, but
wouldn't predict any outcome down the road.

I'm puzzeld also.  One thing I know for sure is that I
don't want to hear about the NIT anymore.  Going to
the NIT is like going to the Independence Bowl every
year.

Right  now NU is 3-3 in the conference and 13-6 over all, what happens if NU 
goes 5-5  for the remaining games ending up at 8-8 in the conference and 18-11 
overall?  This would be quite an improvement over last season. I cannot 
imagine firing  this coach if that happens, however I guess I never thought they'd 
fire Frank  Solich either. 

I think the suspension of Joe McCray is probably one of  the better things 
that may have happened and we'll see how things play out.  We've got Oklahoma 
State in Stillwater on Tuesday (ESPN+) and Baylor at home  on Saturday (ESPN+), 
and both are winnable games. 

I think the thing  the may do Barry in though is the attendance. I've been 
told that the goal for  this season was averaging 10,000 per home game which we 
are nowhere near doing  (the Missouri crowd of 8134 was a good start though), 
but we can build that  number up though by having good crowds for our 
remaining homes games.  



Good points.  Despite the wide-spread haste to "fire the coach!," a  
respectable record may emerge.  Do you have any specific information on the  Oklahoma 
State telecast?  I know it's an ESPN+ production, but I don't see  it on my 
digital on-screen guide in Lincoln.  That, and that fact that the  President's 
State of the Union address is scheduled, makes me wonder if  following the game 
tomorrow night might be a difficult proposition.

Other kids that the staff felt that they were better players at the  
position.  why else?  You can't give up schollie's just because of a  
person name.  You have to do it based on what they can (or will) do  
on the field.  I would imagine if Lil' Mac is anything like his  
brothers it won't take long to earn a schollie.  Plus with anyone who  
doesn't make it into the class because of grades or last minute  
decommits then there may be a schollie left open that he maybe able  
to grab.

Stop looking for ways to complain about the staff and the AD.  It's  
been two years ago time to get over it.

According to the OWH there are two returning seniors at fullback, Todd and Miller, and no others on scholarship or being offered scholarships this year. I think they just ran out of scholarships and hoped he would follow family tradition and walk on. Which he did. I also dont see where he was complaining about anyone he just asked a simple question.

Wes Wilkinson shot it -- then freshman upstart Jamel White did his part in  
this great Derek Whittenburg/Lorenzo Charles/North Carolina State/Jim Valvano  
impersonation as the Huskers won a thriller in Stillwater, 59-57.  Wes  
Wilkinson shot a 22-footer that came up well short ? the ever-alert White  grabbed 
it out of the air and put if off the board with 1.1 seconds to play to  win it 
for the Big Red.
 
What a huge win for Barry Collier and the Huskers.  This was an  entertaining 
game to watch as NU could?ve lost it late.  But they actually  relied on and 
took great advantage of clutch down-the-stretch free throw  shooting and an 
out-of-character Eddie Sutton coached team.
 
Nebraska goes to 4 and 3 in conference play and 14 and 6 overall.
 
Wes Wilkinson scored seven of NU?s first eight points to start the game,  
including a three-pointer on the first possession of the game.  OSU then  took 
advantage of a period of lax defensive effort by the Huskers -- blowing by  NU 
defenders on-the-dribble more than a few times -- in building a 23-16  lead.  
Collier called a timeout right about here in an effort to stop the  momentum, 
and it paid off (something that he?d been criticized for NOT doing at  times 
this season).
 
Nebraska then went on a 9-0 run about 2/3rds of the way through the first  
half to take the lead at 25-23.  They were making an emphasis of pounding  the 
ball into 6-foot-11 Aleks Maric (who still needs to finish better).   NU?s ball 
movement and offensive spacing during this part of the game looked as  good 
as it?s looked all year.  Wilkinson had 14 of the Cornhuskers? first  25.  OSU 
stopped the run, then NU came back with another good stretch late  in the 
first half to take their biggest first half lead at 31-25 (keyed by a  3-pointer 
by Jamel White with a little over a minute to play in the first  half.  White 
played well, despite a few turnovers.  He?s showing signs  that are extremely 
encouraging).  OSU scored the last four points of the  half to make it 
Nebraska 31, Oklahoma State 30 at the break.
 
In the second half, NU again hit a stretch when they turned the ball over  
(unforced) entirely too much.  However, they kept playing hard, OSU?s big  man 
got in foul trouble, and they stayed in the game.  The Huskers survived  a 
seven-minute field goal drought in the second half to take a 48-46 lead on a  dunk 
by Maric off the great feed from White with about seven minutes to  play.  
Marcus Perry hit a big three-pointer just prior to the Maric  dunk.  However, 
Maric picked up his fourth foul just after the timeout on a  
less-than-intelligent illegal pick.  
 
This is where Nebraska almost lost the game.  Oklahoma State took  immediate 
advantage of Maric? bench-time by pounding it inside.   Collier chose to NOT 
play B.J. Walker when Maric picked up #4 and it hurt  him.  However, Walker hadn
?t exactly been a force up to that point.
 
Then down the stretch, Maric and Richardson made four-out-of-four free  
throws.  NU finished 16 for 18 from the line.  OSU lead 55-53 at  the 2:04 mark.  
Wilkinson hit two more free throws at 1:17 to make it  57-55.  OSU?s big man, 
Mario Boggan, then fouled out.
 
Maric, of all people, got a steal about 20-feet from the basket and fed  
Dourisseau for a dunk with a minute to play to tie it at 57.  Great defense  by NU 
forced an OSU turnover, setting up the final possession of regulation for  NU 
with the game tied.  Ironically, White almost turned it over but  regained 
possession and called the timeout with 5.9 seconds to play to set up  the final 
play.  A play that would remind anyone who watched it, of the  great finishing 
effort that made a winner out of Valvano over Phi Slamma  Jamma.
 
NU now gets 0-and-six Baylor at home on Saturday night -- a game they HAVE  
to win and they should win -- setting up a game against Kansas that most  couldn
?t have imagined when watching the nationally-televised embarrassment  
against the Jayhawks just 10 days ago.
 
One of the most enjoyable NU basketball games I?ve seen in a long  time.  
Wins in Stillwater are rare and are to be commended.

Just over 1 week ago I was complaining about Barry Collier's coaching and 
his team's chemistry.  His suspension of Joe McCray was a tough thing to do. 
The team actually looks like a TEAM now.  I have always stood behind the 
Huskers.  I have never questioned Barry the man, nor his integrity.
I have to say tonight's win was a very entertaining and uplifting game.  A 
good win for the University.

Although a change may still need to be made...in my opinion, congrats go out 
to Barry and his staff.
I was cheering.  I was high fiving.  As a Husker fan...I loved tonight.
GO BIG RED!

entertaining
game to watch as NU could?ve lost it late.  But they actually  relied on and
took great advantage of clutch down-the-stretch free throw  shooting and an
out-of-character Eddie Sutton coached team.

Nebraska goes to 4 and 3 in conference play and 14 and 6 overall.

Wes Wilkinson scored seven of NU?s first eight points to start the game,
including a three-pointer on the first possession of the game.  OSU then 
took
advantage of a period of lax defensive effort by the Huskers -- blowing by 
NU
defenders on-the-dribble more than a few times -- in building a 23-16  lead.
Collier called a timeout right about here in an effort to stop the 
momentum,
and it paid off (something that he?d been criticized for NOT doing at  times
this season).

Nebraska then went on a 9-0 run about 2/3rds of the way through the first
half to take the lead at 25-23.  They were making an emphasis of pounding 
the
ball into 6-foot-11 Aleks Maric (who still needs to finish better).   NU?s 
ball
movement and offensive spacing during this part of the game looked as  good
as it?s looked all year.  Wilkinson had 14 of the Cornhuskers? first  25. 
OSU
stopped the run, then NU came back with another good stretch late  in the
first half to take their biggest first half lead at 31-25 (keyed by a 
3-pointer
by Jamel White with a little over a minute to play in the first  half. 
White
played well, despite a few turnovers.  He?s showing signs  that are 
extremely
encouraging).  OSU scored the last four points of the  half to make it
Nebraska 31, Oklahoma State 30 at the break.

In the second half, NU again hit a stretch when they turned the ball over
(unforced) entirely too much.  However, they kept playing hard, OSU?s big 
man
got in foul trouble, and they stayed in the game.  The Huskers survived  a
seven-minute field goal drought in the second half to take a 48-46 lead on a 
dunk
by Maric off the great feed from White with about seven minutes to  play.
Marcus Perry hit a big three-pointer just prior to the Maric  dunk. 
However,
Maric picked up his fourth foul just after the timeout on a
less-than-intelligent illegal pick.

This is where Nebraska almost lost the game.  Oklahoma State took  immediate
advantage of Maric? bench-time by pounding it inside.   Collier chose to NOT
play B.J. Walker when Maric picked up #4 and it hurt  him.  However, Walker 
hadn
?t exactly been a force up to that point.

Then down the stretch, Maric and Richardson made four-out-of-four free
throws.  NU finished 16 for 18 from the line.  OSU lead 55-53 at  the 2:04 
mark.
Wilkinson hit two more free throws at 1:17 to make it  57-55.  OSU?s big 
man,
Mario Boggan, then fouled out.

Maric, of all people, got a steal about 20-feet from the basket and fed
Dourisseau for a dunk with a minute to play to tie it at 57.  Great defense 
by NU
forced an OSU turnover, setting up the final possession of regulation for 
NU
with the game tied.  Ironically, White almost turned it over but  regained
possession and called the timeout with 5.9 seconds to play to set up  the 
final
play.  A play that would remind anyone who watched it, of the  great 
finishing
effort that made a winner out of Valvano over Phi Slamma  Jamma.

NU now gets 0-and-six Baylor at home on Saturday night -- a game they HAVE
to win and they should win -- setting up a game against Kansas that most 
couldn
?t have imagined when watching the nationally-televised embarrassment
against the Jayhawks just 10 days ago.

One of the most enjoyable NU basketball games I?ve seen in a long  time.
Wins in Stillwater are rare and are to be commended.
