Has passed away, age 90. Some of my favorite NFL Films segments growing up were always the coaches' blooper reels, and he always seemed to be pretty heavily featured in those. "That's three holding penalties on one football team in a quarter and a half..... (pause)...... it ain't funny!"...

My fellow game watchers and I were kind of wavering back and forth on this. Do you think it would have fired him up to be benched for a series in the third quarter and have Armstrong or RK3 play a series? Even if it was a punt? Does Martinez get the hint, or does that just make him play worse...

Anyone made any interesting bowl trips? Favorite / unfavorites you want to share? For me, I've only made one bowl trip to date.... but it was a good one. I saw 62-24 happen. I was a college freshman but I'd flown home to Wisconsin to spent Christmas.... my dad surprised me by booking the trip...

So, our favorite stirring agent / divisive hack (depending on your point of view) from the Weird-Herald has made his case that the 9 win benchmark is no longer a valid one. Let's play point/counterpoint... Point: 9 games is a far less meaningful accomplishment now than it was then, because it...

PJ Smith said this. What do you think it means? Is what we are doing really so high risk that one breakdown is a touchdown? Is that why when Nebraska fails, it fails spectacularly? Not trying to blame anyone or anything, just think it is worth an examination. I'm kind of troubled by it if we...

November 23rd is a bad day for us, historically. Like, REALLY BAD. Like, 9 straight losses bad, including some of the worst and most notorious in school history. 2007: Colorado 65-51 LOSS 2001: Colorado 62-36 LOSS 1990: Oklahoma 45-10 LOSS 1985: Oklahoma 27-7 LOSS 1974: Oklahoma 28-14 LOSS...

Oct 31, 1992 - Nebraska 52, Colorado 7. Where were you? Great article in the Weird-Herald about this one. This game might be somewhat forgotten, if only because of what happened soon after, but at the time, this was a really, really cathartic victory for me. I had grown up being disappointed by...

Maybe they should declare Oregon a "rival".

So, is the 5-yard version not called anymore? That's the only explanation for what I can only describe as just about everything *except* roughing. Jean-Baptiste made a bonehead play for even allowing the possibility for this to be called, but he clearly pulled up and tried to avoid contact...

The special teams. I mean, who saw that coming from ANYWHERE? When was the last time we had a punt blocked?

Whither, whither, Jamal Turner? Something's fishy there.

If for no other reason, than the fact we have all been spared. Spared days and weeks full of sappy, sanctimonious crap. "Oh, we did it for Joe!" "Oh, what an emotional win". "Oh, JoePa's so great, he's just misunderstood".

....the 4th annual Bo Pelini bed-wetting contest. *sigh* I'm still a Pelini fan... but I'll never understand why we have to do this once a year. One game where every god damn thing goes wrong. Is it so hard to respect your opponent enough that you give them the benefit of the doubt? Or do we...

Cannot seem to find the option. The help section says it is possible to do so, but I'm unable to find out where exactly you do this. Advice, please.

Who knows the pain of cricket, cricket, and more cricket on TV? And 3:30 am clock alarms, to tune into latent radio broadcasts? And futile attempts to watch games on TVU, or Slingbox, or some other online internet TV site that only seems to carry the NBA network? Interested in hearing all your...
