I have done nothing but rip on this kid since he started his career at Nebraska. I never thought he was fit to be a D1 LB. With that being said, I feel like I should be the first to point out that he is playing his tail off tonight. This is easily the best game of his career, on a pretty big...

Why does Bo insist on starting the players that know the defensive system best over players that are more athletic but have less knowledge? I'm glad a player knows where he and the other 10 players are supposed to be on a given play, but it's worthless when said player(s) never makes the play...

I always laugh when I see the signs Oregon uses to call plays on offense. I got curious so I googled it and I found this interesting article on ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hruby/110107_oregon_ducks_signs&sportCat=ncf Seems a lot more complicated than it would...

What's with the sizing issues of the avatars? It looked fine when I set it. No crop was necessary, but on the board it looks zoomed in and you can't even see it.

I'm assuming I'm going to take a lot of heat, especially from the traditionalists, for this opinion and that is fine. I love the walk-on program as much as the next Husker fan. It's got a rich tradition and it really made Nebraska football what it is. Tom relied heavily on it and it worked out...

Stafford to move to nickel back at times, expect more PJ Smith at safety. Corey Cooper and Harvey Jackson should get some playing time. http://sports.omaha.com/2011/09/23/breakfast-with-carl/ Discuss....

I was really hoping Bo was going to redshirt at least one of the freshman RBs. To have 3 RBs of that caliber in one class is almost unheard of. It would've been nice to stow one away for an extra year. With Rex, Austin Jones, and two of the three freshman we would've been fine depth-wise. Just...

I didn't attend the spring game, but I just watched the highlights and one thing that really jumped out at me was the poor coverage on punts and kickoffs. There were 2 kickoff returns of over 50 yards and Tuner had a 50+ yard punt return. This seems to have been an issue for the past couple of...

So I've had the Palm Pixi Plus for about a year and I've grown tired of its weak processor, slow load time, overall sluggish performance. From what I understand, Verizon did away with its new-every-2 program where you get a large discount on a phone upgrade after 2 years. That said, I see no...

"David's ultimate goal is to reach 230 pounds, although he admits 225 might be more realistic. He's already at 221 and says it's easier to add the weight during the offseason, when his training schedule is more focused and routine. (Most players lose weight during the season.)" LINK Hopefully...

Thursday afternoon, Nebraska made Sanders' departure official. Thursday night at 8, Jackson still hadn't heard from Sanders, Bo Pelini or anyone else at Nebraska. “I think they should've told me before I signed,” Jackson said. “I didn't have any idea. They broke the guy code." LINK This is...

Pryor’s acts expose charade of college athletics Read it for yourself. Pretty ridiculous. Makes you wonder what's going on at athletic programs all across the country.

I'm taking a beating in my fantasy league so I figured I'd try to get some outside opinions and insight. I'm planning on starting a thread like this each week for the rest of the season. For this first week, post your squad (starters and reserves) and then ask away. My league's scoring is based...

In my opinion, if Taylor is healthy Saturday, he needs to start and play until the victory is no longer in question. I'm not a fan of the following attitude: We should rest Taylor this Saturday because we won't need him to beat KU, and we'll really need him at 100% against Texas A&M. This...
