Lol at you thinking that NU is the only school to do this! We beat you guys 49 times. You beat us 18. We have two of the best college teams in history. You guys needed a extra down to get your NC. Youre not a rival anymore so why waste your time talking smack to a better program?

DBroncos4life · 08-18-2011, 04:49 PM

I might add it's not NU's fault you guys became one of those "easy" schools teams schedule at the beginning of the year to pad it's W/L record. NU fell and it fell hard. You guys didn't jump on the chance to close the gap between the two schools.

I want you guys to get better. The thought of playing you guys in the Rose Bowl is a really cool dream.

Do you REALLY believe Colorado would have spiked the ball on 4th down had they known? C'mon. And you cannot compare us to that juggernaut "Pacific" or "Texas State." In our best years we played @ Michigan.

We were in the division/conference. I was referring to the non-conference schedule. Anyway, thanks for being one of the classy NU fans by wish us well. I will say right back at you.

Umm, I recall just a few years ago you played the powerhouse Montana State University, and how did that turn out for ya?

DBroncos4life · 09-01-2011, 01:07 PM

The last two teams to open the season vs Chattanooga won the NC. Here's to NU making it THREE!!!

alanm · 10-12-2011, 07:37 AM

5-1 with a off week this Saturday. About what I expected as the season has unfolded.
Hopefully we will get a rematch with Wisconsin in December

Evenrude · 10-18-2011, 02:48 PM

We need a good dominate game in all phases to get momentum rolling for the rest of the season... hopefully Minnesota is the perfect team to start that up. I think the defense started to come together (finally) in that second half against Ohio St. and the offense is also on an upward swing. Would be great to get past Michigan and State and get another shot at Wisconsin.

What happended with Northwestern?

Huge let down. A couple of fumbles hurt us, and I think we got caught looking past them at the Penn State game and the Mich game.

Kid A · 11-30-2011, 04:29 PM

So, bowl game aside (hopefully something around New Years against an SEC opponent) season is over.

I saw 2-4 losses coming in conference play this year, and looking back I think 9-3 is something the team should be proud of. Simply put, not a lot of pretty wins this year (and all three losses ugly in their own way) but they ground their way impressively at times through a brutal schedule in a new conference.

No Roy Helu + Martinez never looking quite healthy enough to have that extra gear that broke so many runs last year = an offense that was never close to as explosive as last year. The O was defined by Rex Burkhead, who carried the team on his back in almost all their conference wins. I love love love Rex, but I do hope they work the young guys (Abdullah, Green, Heard) in more next year, as their speed could bring back that score-from-anywhere-on-the-field element we were missing.

Martinez, despite losing the explosiveness, was much improved. I've never been as down on him as some Husker fans seem to get, and he really showed growth as a passer. Yes, the motion is godawful to look at, but his arm really carried the offense in several games. I truly think in the last couple years of his career here he'll continue to develop as more of a dual threat and become one one of the top QBs in the conference.

The defense in all three areas was a big step down from last year. The injuries on d-line in particular left us by the end of the season with poor run defense and zero pass rush outside blitzing. On the positive side, Dennard and David both looked like top 5 players in the nation at their respective positions. I think David, despite only being here 2 seasons, will be remembered as one of the best LBs to ever wear the scarlet and cream. For the Ohio St game alone he should be beloved.

So, most the year we were in the awkward spot of a grind-it-out offense being the stronger unit. Thus our best games were over fast and featured little scoring by either side (not unlike Denver!). The defense obviously has some ability - they showed they could absolutely shut down a non-mobile pocket passing offense. Even a pretty good one like Michigan St, who they nearly shut out. But, dear god, athletic QBs ate them alive. We should 1) be thankful we weren't in the Big XII this year and 2) be more than a little squeamish of what that D will look like next year with the best 3 athletes removed (Crick, David, Dennard).

I hold out hope that the secondary can continue its tentative progress. The d-line might be okay as well once they get healthy. LB...I just don't see any speed out there. Pelini has earned his reputation, but he'll need to get something out of young guys we haven't seen yet to have a rebound year in 2012 for the Blackshirts.

If you look at the first couple years of recruiting he had, they weren't all that great and I think that is catching up with us right now. That said, we showed we can hang with the top talent in the Big Ten like Ohio St, Michigan St (and I'd add Wisconsin next year when they lose Wilson). Pelini figuring a way to slow the bleeding against mobile QBs will be the key to taking the next step.

DBroncos4life · 04-05-2012, 01:35 PM

Ha ha what is happening here?

jhns · 04-13-2012, 02:35 PM

Ummm... Okay.

Anyways, spring game tomorrow. I'll be there. Hopefully it doesn't hail on me.

Edit: I got to sit out in the rain for an hour, only for the game to get canceled. They then gave me baseball tickets in return... Who the F wants to watch Nebraska baseball? Of course, that is why they were able to give away 40,000 baseball tickets without notice. At least I didn't pay for the spring game tickets.

NU was known for many years as the Raiders of the NCAA; further they've been known as racking up wins against unknown pissant teams and then imploding in a bowl game.

I'm not exactly sure what there is to really brag about here.

Kid A · 07-27-2012, 11:11 AM

oooh boy, this might give some of the traditionalists (pretty much any fan over 40) a coronary, but I'd say kind of cool for one game.

Sometimes you beat them sometimes you lose to Montana State....

Tom Osborne to retire as Nebraska AD effective Jan 1, 2013: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/st...e-going-retire

My guess would be Jamie Williams as his replacement.
