[Husker] Good News

[Steve]

For what it is worth, the Big Red HC had a strikingly similar sideline
demeanor as Henry Winkler in the movie "Waterboy"...somewhat bewildered and
confused.

The offensive play-calling was not what I expected.  Nor was there any
apparent sense of urgency in clock management.  One felt that escaping the
Coliseum without major injury and/or embarrassment was the objective.

The Blackshirts played with heart & determination to overcome the obvious
athletic differential that existed; especially between USC WRs and NU DBs.
No can of "whoop ass" was deployed and backs were to the wall too often.

Here in Northern Illinois, the sun has made its appearance over the horizon.

Props to the gaming industry... an 18 +/-  point spread fairly depicted the
variation in program abilities.


Next up:	Nebraska 24 - Troy 21

Go Big Red!

I thought Bill was laying back in the weeds, taking notes (you must have 
noticed that as they kept panning him writing notes), let USC expose their 
game so he would have everything down pat for the National Championship game

against them in Jan. :):):):):):) You will note he did not expose any great 
plays to them.

The sun will come up tomorrow morning.

Hello Husker Fans,

  For those of you looking for good news in a dark situation, Frank
  Solich has completed his alcohol rehabilitation and is calling plays
  again for the Huskers.

  All joking aside, that was one of the top 10 worst offensive schemes
  I've seen.  I can only figure out 5 possible reasons:

  1) Bill owes Pete money and worked out another deal instead.
  2) Bill had money on the game and thought if he ran the ball
  constantly we could keep it under the spread.
  3) Part of Solich's 'settlement' included playcalling a game of his
  choice.
  4) Bill wanted to shorten the game and keep their offense off the
  field.
  5) Bill assumed that Pete had never seen a 4 tight end set, and
  therefore decided it was the only set we would run.

  WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?  I'd be much happier with the game if we
  threw 10 interceptions and lost by 60 than what I saw tonight.
  Gutless and coward are the two words I use to describe the coaches
  tonight.  No blitzes, no passes, no nothing.  The team didn't suck,
  the coaches did.

  I might not be this mad in the morning, but I still think I'm right.

  How tragic.  They were probably the better team, but that doesn't
  give the coaches the right to give up before we play.
