I ran across this little nugget while reading through some chat on an agricultural web page. I thought it might be a hoax, so I went and checked it out. The article was correct. Nebraska ranks in the bottom half of the Big 12 Conference in National University Rankings which offer a full range...

Typically, I don't pay a lot of attention to other teams with regards to individual players. However, the bowl season is different especially when there's only one on per day. Last night, I noticed that Iowa had two kids starting on their #9 or #11 can't remember which defense that were from...

Last night on Sports Nightly, they were breaking down the team in groups and ranking them with their play thus far. How would you rank them? Offensive Line: I give them a B+. They are doing some very good things out there, and they have beaten my expectations so far with their blocking. The...

So I'm reading along until I come to the heading where Ferentz is seriously being considered for the Cleveland Browns HC gig. What the hell does this guy have to do to prove he's really not that great of a coach? I mean he has a losing record as a HC. At Maine, he put up a stellar 12-21...

Even though the South still owns the Big 12, there is a bright side. Nebraska is the only team from the North that actually improved or beat expectations this year. Mizzou already has 1 more loss than a year ago and will have at least 1 more loss. They were supposed to contend for a NC this...

Where does NU fit in the Big 12? We just took the #3 team in the South to the wire on their homefield. However, the #4 team in the South just beat the #1 team in the North at their house. Where do you see us when the season ends? Where do you see everyone being in the Big 12 when the smoke...

Last night, I heard a new rumor about our new HC. I was told that Barry Alvarez will be brought in as the new HC with Pelini being brought in as DC with the understanding that within the next couple of years he will be handed the HC position. I don't think there's much if any merit to this...

We have 2 games left. Considering KState just lost to Iowa State, I think our odds are good especially since the game is at home. While it will be an extreme challenge, a victory over CU could happen. After watching the beatdown today, what are the odds a bowl would pick us up at 6-6? I...

Since it's pretty slow right now for news and things to talk about, I was wondering heading into the 2007 season what one player from all the great players that have played here at NU would you like to have playing on the 2007 squad? Keep in mind we're talking about the modern era football or...

First off let me start out by saying this: I've been as critical of this staff as anyone else. I didn't want Callahan hired as the head coach from the start, but let's face it he's a hell of a lot better than Houston Butt. This staff has done some remarkable things especially this season, but...

All I hear is guys saying it's going to take another year or two to get back to college prominance. The one thing I think we can look back in history to about Nebraska football is this: every time we played for and or won a national championship, we had a QB with experience. After this year...

With Jackson and Beck gone, where do you think the 2004 recruiting class would have ranked? From all the hype around Beck and Marlon Lucky, I was under the impression these two players are what got us to our #1 or #2 recruting class. Now with one of the high profile players gone and Jackson...

OMAHA, Neb. - A 40-15 loss to Kansas could be seen as a step backward for Nebraska. Coach Bill Callahan prefers to call it a "growing pain." ADVERTISEMENT As many question the direction of the Cornhuskers under the second-year coach, Callahan says he sees signs of progress. "It is consistent...

I just read where Penn State, Alabama, and Notre Dame are all in the top 10. It has been many, many years since this has happened. Neither of the 3 above mentioned have had the success that we have had at Nebraska in the last 10 years, but all are having more now. Alabama and Notre Dame both...

So far this year in our weak nonconference schedule, Marlon Lucky has seen very little playing time. I can't remember the exact amount, but I think he only carried the ball 3 or 4 times against Pitt. Glenn saw his first action of the year carrying the ball maybe 5 times? My question is this...

So far, my take on the 2005 season is that no matter how good you are or how high you are rated: TURNOVERS ARE KILLER. Turnovers are what cost Iowa their game against Iowa State. Turnovers are what killed Michigan against Notre Dame. Turnovers damn near killed Nebraska against Maine...

Well it appears as though "Pud" is at it again at the expense of Nebraska. The Shrine Game was supposed to have been played at Memorial Stadium. Due to renovations, the game has to be moved. The Shriners regretably had to learn about this from the Omaha World Herald rather than the "Pud"...

I was listening to Sports Nightly last night when John Bishop was talking about some of these message boards on the internet talking about Armageddon. He said anymore, the fans either love you or hate you depending upon your side meaning a BC and Pud fan or hater. Unfortunately, he's right...

The question we should all be asking ourselves at this time when talking about NC and Big 12 Championships should be this: Do we think BC is a better coach than Bob Stoops? In order to ever win a Big 12 Championship or NC, we had better hope that he is. Look at poor Texas. Mack Brown gets...

Arkansas who has that promising young coach according to "Pud" won't be going bowling this year either. Their record matched ours this year at an outstanding 5-6. Makes you wonder what the fabulous Nutt would have been able to accomplish here if he wouldn't have used the job offer as a...
