The 2011 season comes to an end on a bad note. It wasn't so much that Nebraska lost, it's in the way they did it - by cutting themselves with a razor blade and slowly bleeding themselves to death in the second half.
It wasn't so much that Nebraska lost to a top-ten South Carolina team from the best conference in college football - it's that they did it in horrifying fashion. A complete lack of consistency, maturity, and discipline.
Man, it's going to be a long offseason.
BTW, let's try to keep it civil. I am not in a good mood.

Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
Go play on the highway
:)
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
GoBigRed!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Call for Carnes!
Can he play defensive back?
the_EDJ - January 2, 2012
Well at least
we aren’t the only B1G team to lose today (see: everyone else)
AdamTheTitan - January 2, 2012
Has the B1G won a Bowl game yet??
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
How sad is it
that Illinois and Purdue are the only B1G to win their bowls so far.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
The best of the worst!
the_EDJ - January 2, 2012
will there be a post game?
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
The second half was the post game. Just a big USC party it was.
the_EDJ - January 2, 2012
Was that what that was? Pelini was giving his interview to the ref?
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
I'm not
a Pelini hater, but this was pretty damn frustrating. Next year needs to be an improvement.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
AJ the Hater brought up an interesting stat...
Ever since Steve Pederson fired Frank Solich after going 9-3, Nebraska has lost at least 4 games each season.
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
Why would you bring up Frank?
NU has not been the same since TO retired, or at least his recruits left the program.
JLew - January 2, 2012
Even Tom Osborne would have had difficulty following up 60-3...
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
So you're on the Way Back Machine to Frank?
Why? What does that have to do with where this team is now? Frank is gone, and I still think thats best. Bo’s here now and has problems to deal with.
JLew - January 2, 2012
Well, 2004 to 2007 never happened...
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
What is that
The Solich Curse?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
AJ is a moron and you know that Mike
What the hell does he know
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
That was embarrassing.
Oh well. Corn Flakes up tomorrow with reactions..
JLew - January 2, 2012
That should be a good read!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Pelini`s gotta go
Really you fire Solich for losing 3 and this guy loses 4 every year including a major let down game, NW or Iowa State every year, Neb better than this
chadb - January 2, 2012
Firing Frank was a mistake.
Firing Bo would be too.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
THIS!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Agree, especially with Bo.
I’m old enough to remember the screams for Osborne’s head early in his career.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Oh red,,,,,you're dating yourself,,,lol
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
No,
I’m dating Rex. ; )
redvalley - January 2, 2012
+10000
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Solich got fired more for losing 10 in 2 years
Not to mention he took over a national title winning team, Pelini took over the fighting Billy C’s.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
yet...
our roster won’t be nearly as talented in Year 6 of Pelini compared to Year 1 of Pelini
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
Player of the game
goes to an ejected player? That’s setting a great example for the kide.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
didn't it go to Connow Shaw, SC's quarterback?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Nope.
It went to the upstanding Mr. Jeffery.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
what? really??
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I'm almost positive.
Anyone else watch the presentation?
redvalley - January 2, 2012
I didn't see it
but they did say “first time the MVP had been ejected.”
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
so....
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Yea.....
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Ummm...
the_EDJ - January 2, 2012
bout that...
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
uhhh..
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
Huh?
redvalley - January 2, 2012
About to enter numbing chemical bliss
Hopefully I don’t wake up in a hospital tomorrow.
LordGaga - January 2, 2012
Damn.
The Learned Hand - January 2, 2012
I'm not embarrassed. Disapointed but not embarrassed.
Big Mo is a fickle thing. After Dennard’s fist-a-cuffs this out come does not surprise me.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
I'm embarrassed for the player's and coaches' loss of composure.
I’m okay with losing but not like that. That being said, the worst that should befall Pelini is a fine for the team’s behavior.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012 via Android app
I soooooo
miss the discipline and self-control of Osborne’s players, whether it be personal fouls, or just the lack of off-side penalties.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Why?
It’s not like they are intentially doing it. You think Spurrier gives a crap that Jeffery went out of the game? I mean crap how many times did he suspend and then start garcia?
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
Because we're not South Carolina?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I understand that we are Nebraska and shit like that shouldn't happen
but to imply a fine on Pelini when the other team was just as blatant in behavior is kinda silly
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
I suppose it's an emotional response on my part and would ultimately make Pelini quit, leaving us with bigger problems...
But else can you do to make it clear that it’s not acceptable?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
It's times like this I'm glad T.O. is our AD
I think he will have a chat with Bo about this game.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Your statement is true and accurate.
I expect Pelini, his staff and this team to take a lesson from this.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I thought he learned his lesson against A&M last year
Still, the same garbage this year from Bo
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
On the plus side, he more or less made it to January!
Progress!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Let's be honest
Only b/c the B1G has better bowl tie-ins
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
Haha. Good call.
But hey, December is still progress, right?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
This is true
He seems more subdued this year and was proud of him
Then he showed his true personality this game and everyone loses it.
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
Well Wisconsin
You’re the B1G’s only hope to avoid another winless New Year’s.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Michigan State
still in it… barely, but still
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I hope it's a fun shootout
a la the Alamo Bowl.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
I'm surprised I'm not angrier.
I mean, it sucks to lose that way, but I took it well somehow.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
I didn't
I’m still steaming.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Same here.
Losing a competitive game is one thing. Losing like an undisciplined group of miscreants in a January bowl game is unacceptable.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012 via Android app
This x1000
With a side of fluky first half breakdowns to go please.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
those aren't flukes
That’s standard Pelini football. Mistake after mistake after mistake. Meanwhile, the coach screams at the refs and places all blame on them. Poor, poor leadership.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
Amen to you sir
chadb - January 2, 2012
Oh a ton of this falls on Bo
And I said as much earlier in the 2nd half thread. I shouldn’t have emphasized “fluky” (even though a few of those definitely were) but NU kept USC in it with dumb breakdowns in the first half and gave the game away with a total loss of concentration in the second.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
So then what about the first half?
The majority of the first half worked well. Do you think they are not making the adjustments in the 2nd half or what?
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
The coaching staff lost their composure and didn't appear to make any attempt to rein in their players' emotions.
We were playing emotional football and that’s our worst kind.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Agreed
Gilmore had it right when he said the 3rd & 18 blitz was an emotional play call. That was the nail int the coffin.
This is my main gripe with the coaches – their emotion gets in the way of execution. Poor leadership.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
Our first half miscues led to the floodgates opening in the 2nd
1. Abdullah fumble
2. Martinez pick
3. Inexplicably not covering the Hail Mary after USC called a TO
4. Blocked PAT
Our solid play in other areas was negated by all of that. This isn’t a one game thing. This is what Husker football has become. We should have led by 14 points at the half. Instead, we were down by 2.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
So then what?
A coacing change again?
You really want to go through that again?
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
No, we can't fire him
We are stuck. We need to hit rock bottom before we can fire him so potential coaches won’t be scared to come to Lincoln.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
Glad that's settled.
FIRE THE ASSISTANTS.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Cotton
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
That's the spirit!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Carl
oh, wait
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
See now that's something we can agree on
Damn you Barney
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
2nd that!
False starts are too damn common. I’m so tired of seeing the lack of concentration. It starts with him. Get rid of him, and then get a QB coach to fill the extra coaching spot. Let Garrison have sole possession of the OL.
NotYourNormalHuskerfan - January 3, 2012
Normally I would be.
I don’t know why I’m not.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
We'll be fine
alacy9513 - January 2, 2012
That Oregon helmet should not be allowed. Holy reflection.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Who becomes the national champ if:
Okie State wins and ’Bama wins. You have 3 one loss teams….
AND OMG look at those helmets, can you really wear mirrors on the field?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Bama because the system is stupid.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
here's the thing
maybe I mentioned it earlier, but at one point Clowney, their freshman freak DE, was across the line of scrimmage before our left tackle even took a step. it’s no wonder Yoshi had so many false start penalties.
but – what? we have had slow tackles for so long….
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Yoshi pissed in my Wheaties today.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
Hey Jon,,,
did i miss something on that JLew post,,or just read it wrong??
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
You thought
he was replying to you, but he was replying to a troll-like creature.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Oh,,,my bad, sorry JLew.
I wasn’t trolling,,,honest!! LOL
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Clowny has been doing that to tackles all season.
He’s a beast.
Charlestowne - January 2, 2012
Looked like the lose against wisconsin
chadb - January 2, 2012
it did
when we imploded, we imploded this year.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
We looked like a young team this year.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
if you're gonna do it
do it B1G
SccrHskr - January 2, 2012
Oh, that's a rec.
“Nebraska 2011 – 100%, either direction.”
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Sparty 115 seconds
85 yards, make that 70 yards to go. No timeouts.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Michigan State
executing very well….
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Here's the statistic of the game...
On the opening drive of the second half, Taylor Martinez ran 36 yards to the South Carolina 8 yard line just one minute in. First and goal, Huskers.
Nebraska’s total offense the rest of the game? One yard.
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
my god
thats so bad it’s unbelievable
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
For realz? Tim Beck needs to be fired immediately
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
That's not on Beck...
The offensive line was being dominated by South Carolina like Miami did in 1992…
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
I wasn't serious! :)
I’m not on the fire everyone train.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
To expand on that...
-8 yards on the screen chuck to Kyler Reed, and 7 yards gained by Burkhead to set up the missed field goal. Net offense: -1 yards.
Nebraska’s drives the rest of the game: 4, 8, 5, and -15 yards.
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
I may throw up now.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
I agree Red.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Absolutely unbelievable
Especially with how consistently good the offense had been up to that point.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
can you say meltdown???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Michigan State
down to the two yard line….
called a TD on the field, but it should come back
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Well how about that
You’d think 4 Cousins tosses to the endzone should get it done. Terrible meltdown by Georgia’s defense there.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Good game, guys.
I know you don’t want to hear from the opposition right now so I’ll keep it brief. Things I learned about the Huskers:
It wasn’t a clean game for either team. A few more chips fell our way today is all—99 out of 100 times, Alshon doesn’t score on the Hail Mary, that PAT doesnt get blocked, etc. Good luck next year…I never really felt one way or the other about Nebraska before this game, but I’ll pull for you guys from here on out! (Unless we meet again, that is…)
Gamecock'n'Balls - January 2, 2012
Thanks,,,Congrats to the Cocks!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Good fans are always welcome.
Good win for your team. I’m still smiling about the Jeffery/Dennard tussle.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
thanks
and good luck to you guys in the SEC next season
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Nice words,
and I appreciate them. Now, please hand me a Kleenex while I continue to sob. : )
redvalley - January 2, 2012
It was a great team to play and South Carolina will do some damage next year
we just wish Big East refs weren’t involved in what looked to be a great match-up.
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
Yeah, I cringed when I saw Big East refs.
Only thing that could have been worse would be Ron Cherry’s staff.
Gamecock'n'Balls - January 2, 2012
They were definitely giving each other da business
walknbalk - January 2, 2012
But the officiating wasn't really that bad until later in the second half.
And had our team kept their cool and executed, we wouldn’t have noticed.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
But really the first half and second half were completely different in calls
Granted some of that could be on us (Yoshi) but seriously the tone changed in the second half
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
Thanks
You guys have some awesome players and Shaw’s a gamer.
We’re not mad at you guys, we’re just embarrassed with our teams’ loss of composure in the second half.
Best of luck to you next year.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
team's*
Singular.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Hey, don't disparage your team's play.
You guys won that game.
We don’t live in those 99 other universes. :)
Congratulations, and please, win the SEC next season.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Good job in the second half...
South Carolina absolutely dominated the Huskers down the stretch.
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
Bo faithful
For all the Bo faithful……. How many years / bowl games will it take till you are ready to move on with a new coach? This is as good as it it will ever get…. If you like 4 loss 5 loss seasons then yeah Bo is your guy.
tjohna - January 2, 2012
I'll take 9 win seasons over Bill Callahan.
That being said, if the teams continue to be undisciplined at the end of the season, it’ll get tougher and tougher to accept.
My limit is ten seasons.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
20 years ago, they said that Tom Osborne wouldn't be able to win...
I’ll muddle through and push Bo to figure out what went wrong.
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
It's kind of hard to talk about firing someone who's never won fewer than 9 games
This year was a step back, but Nebraska is far better now than when Bo found it. The man just finished his 4th year coaching. He’s still pretty inexperienced. I’m prepared to give him a pretty long leash.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Considering the new situations this year I don't think it was a step back
considering the schedule but yeah he still needs time to mature more
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
Nebraska Fans drive me bananas
Solich had to go after 9-3
Callahan had to go for obvious reasons
Now Pelini has to go because he loses a bowl game
Craaaaazy talk.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Hehe.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
UGA-MSU tied up!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Should be a good finish!
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Must be 0-0 cuz that's hte only way a B1G school can be tied with an SEC school
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
wtf
is that ref on his knees?
no
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Was he Tebowing???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
no
just incredibly short.
of course, it didn’t help he’s standing next to football players
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
We are lucky to be 9-4
All four losses were fairly lopsided, save for Northwestern, but the Wildcats earned that victory fair and square. They were clearly the better team that day.
Now, look at the wins. We schooled MSU, but were really fortunate to catch them after their tOSU, Michigan, Wisconsin stretch. A fresher Spartan team would have been more dangerous. We barely beat an average PSU team despite all the distractions in Happy Valley. It took a comeback for the ages to beat Ohio State.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
true
but if you had a few plays go the other direction…. oh fuck it.
we were a sucky 9-4
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Next year, our year!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
What flavor Kool-Aide you drinking???LOL
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
I'm not sharing!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Haven't you tried the news flavor?
Vodka.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Or Jon's favorite,,,Gin!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
It sure beats being 7-6, though
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
TRUTH.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Here's the frustrating thing
We played Wisconsin even for 20 minutes. Northwestern was a derp fest, as was Michigan. This team had flashes of being REALLY good. But then they do crap that’s almost unbelievably bad. I still think we’re close, we just have to get out of our own way. That’s the next step Pelini has to make as the head coach.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
I guess Osborne believes Pelini can take that step.
Since I’m just a microbiologist, I’ll have to trust a legendary football coach to make that call.
It’s his paycheck and legacy, after all.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
GA / MSU
How tall is that ref.? 4’11"
tjohna - January 2, 2012
And there goes Sparty
Barring an epic fail by Georgia.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Cue
epic fail.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Mark Dantonio
looks in shock
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
To be ahead?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
after the interception in overtime
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Rambo,,LOL,,,he's a badass!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Uhhhhhh
Georgia must have mad confidence in their kicker.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Okay
Armchair AD’s: Who are you going to hire? Who are you going to bring in next year and put up 10 or 11 wins? Who is that person going to be?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Excellent point.
Why is there so much impatience. Bo’s gathered his coaches and has a year in the new conference under his belt.
And take a gander at mighty Texas, with it’s hot-shot recruits. Stuff happens in CFB>
redvalley - January 2, 2012
But but...
It’s totally rational to expect 18-22 year olds to behave like stoic Greek philosophers for 60 minutes in a winner-take-all respect match against the SEC!
/hang head in shame
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Chris Peterson
Boise State
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
he's not going anywhere
I wouldn’t either.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
That worked out well for Colorado.
/Dan Hawkins’d
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
If Colorado was smart (and they aren't)
they would have snagged peterson from the start
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
But but it was totally Hawkins' team!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Yeah that theory blew up when CU lost to Baylor
Pre-RGIII
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
Wha???
Everybody said Hawk was a great hire at the time. In hindsight, CU should have obviously hired Peterson, but I challenge u to find 1 article aging Hawk was a bad hire and CU should have hired Peterson. CHALLENGE.
BuffulanceMan - January 2, 2012
He's not going anywhere
He’s got his own little kingdom up there taking talented kids from the northwest while the Pac-12 teams focus on SoCal
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
What's the expectation for next year?
The non-con is manageable, though USM and Ark St could be tricky at home. Can we scratch out two road wins in the B1G? At NW, MSU, Iowa and Ohio State? That would make 5-3 doable…
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
11 wins and the Rose Bowl.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
hells yeah
is it anything else?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I EVEN LET US LOSE THREE GAMES.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I'm on board for that
but there are question marks on both sides. Will be interesting to see if OL can step up and take control of games.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I think there will be more depth on this team going forward.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Hope so!
I hope that next year we quit hearing about the lack of depth on the OL.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Agreed.
I think this team will show more improvement, the improvement we expected the last two seasons.
Too much weirdness and changes going on, messed with the team’s approach.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Hard to say since our team is bi-polar
However in a world that makes sense:
We should sweep the non-con schedule.
Minnesota and Penn State at home should be gimmies. Should be favored at Iowa with how vast the gap obviously was this year. We’re also favored in Lincoln against a seriously depleted Wisconsin. Ditto at jNW.
In Lincoln against Michigan and at Sparty are tossups I think.
Underdogs at OSU.
So thats what? 9-3 to 11-1 depending?
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Wisco won't be that depleted
They have a lot of depth. QB will be an issue, but they will just hand it off to 1 of 12 backs and still be dangerous behind that oline.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
They just lost their OC, their o-line coach and I think they've lost coaches on the defensive side too...
Plus their QB situation is very shaky, and Ball and White are jumping to NFL.
Wisconsin will be quite depleted.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
3rd string RB is a stud - Melvin Gordon (or something like that)
The offensive coach losses will be huge, but I don’t think that affects them a ton until year 2. They play very disciplined, smart football.
their lost their D-coordinator to NIU this year. Not sure of any other losses.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
I didn't put them in the "gimmie" column
But I think its pretty silly to think we won’t be significantly favored unless one of the teams is seriously different than expectations.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
I think it's silly
to think we’ll be significantly favored after they punked us by 30 this year. We didn’t belong on the same field as they did that night. Unfortunately, I witnessed it firsthand.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
They might be favored but it won't be appropriate.
I’ve spoken to Wisconsin fans.
The last two seasons were anomalies.
Tolzien was a fifth year senior and Wilson is mind-blowingly good at the play-action.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I live in Milwaukee
and watch them every week. They are solid. They score TDs instead of FGs. Rarely turn it over. D has been bad this year, though. Next year will be telling for the D. The O should continue rolling.
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
Solid but we should be able to outpace them...
And why were their O keep rolling? None of their backup QBs have significant, if any, game experience and neither does their third string QB…!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
*RB
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
they'll still have James White
and their Oline is consistently solid. We should have a much easier time stopping them b/c they’ll be one dimensional
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
Thought White might jump...?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
It's still Wisconsin though.
That’s a lot of change.
I see them with at most 8 wins next season. They may win the Leaders with a 4-4 record (technically, OSU will win it, but since they’re ineligible, Wiscy gets the nod).
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
The Leaders could be brutal
Kind of like the Pac 12 South
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
OSU will be the best team in that division
al la USC this year.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
That's my thought.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
a la*
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Isn't Wisky in contention for another
free agent QB?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Was that Dane Christ? He was to KU
Haven’t heard of anyone else
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
This guy.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Gotcha.
Couldn’t remember who it was they were talking about.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Crist decided to go play with CHARLIE.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Yeah as others have said
The home schedule is manageable as well as the road schedule.
We should get to the B1G championship game but I guess we will see
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
Help me out guys,
I can’t find the game.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
ABC
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Thanks.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Georgia
You. Are. Retarded.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
And UGA Misses the FG,,,LOL!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Georgia misses!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
SEC is going to be committing recruiting violations for kickers.
Just wait.
Meanwhile, I feel bad for Maher, becoming the first Nebraska kicker to miss a FG inside of 40 yards since 2003.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
At least it wasn't for a win.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
seriously?
is that true, the first one since 2003?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Aye, I saw that ticker pop up just before Maher's miss.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Hmmmm, my beer is frozen!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Beer flavored Icee.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
too long in the deep freeze!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
GROSS.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
/Leaves case of 24 Boulevard Wheats on porch when it's 40 degrees out
/Remembers case a week later when its 20 degrees out
Wheat Popsicle!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Sparty needs a TD!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Georgia hits a much tougher field goal
MSU gets a chance to win now.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
I'm really fired up for this Rose Bowl. The game should be amazing
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
Agreed.
Will there be any D in that game?
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
Fingers crossed for no.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
more D than the Alamo Bowl
Warrior Brad - January 2, 2012
That's not really saying much is it?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
MSU
has to try a FG to stay alive
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Triple OT!
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
I gotta say CN friends,,,
For whatever reason, i am not “smash my keyboard” pissed at this loss like i was at the Texass loss for the Big 12 Champ game. I think chatting with all of you here has tamed my rage! Why,,,not sure. Maybe because i have found a home where everyone else feels my pain,,,because the wife don’t understand it!! Just want to say it’s been great chatting, and getting to know all of you, and i’ll be a husker fan, as you all will im sure,,,for LIFE!!!! Now lets have a beer and thank the mastermind behind this crazyness,,,,JON!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
mastermind....
hahahah
thanks!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
It's our "Cheers"
of cyber-space.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Mastermind is not a term
that I have ever heard used in the same sentence as Jon Johnston!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
what?
oh… yeah, you usually heard “instigator” – didn’t you? :)
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Mind numbing
me thinks
Pornhusker - January 2, 2012
Instigator, yes.
Bastard!
Chickenlegs!
Mother-f’er from Curtis!
JOHNSTOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Bastard???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
that rings a bell
Inglorious Bastard Master Mind
Jon
Pornhusker - January 2, 2012
I didn't see his name here???
http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-9-biggest-bastards-2011/
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
I think Jon needs to be fired.
He showed a lack of leadership today in not providing nearly enough angry fire to elevate this team to victory.
Truly disappointing and obviously he had not had enough gin.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Angry Tirades were needing by Jon
and not the great Pelini
Pornhusker - January 2, 2012
This.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
yeah
shit. next time I’ll at least have gin….
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Disappointing. We should have you run some gassers.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
that'd take...
uh… one.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Noon games suck
we need night games to get warmed up :)
Pornhusker - January 2, 2012
+1000
So far my main set back to joining the B1G, the lack of night games.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
When does sudden death start?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
now
go for two!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Annnnnnnd Peliniball strikes again.
Lack of fundamentals, penalties, lack of discipline, turnovers, one-dimensional offense, inability to adjust, overemotional, ineffective. Frustrating as fuck.
And he just promoted one of his BFFs to be DC. This when he had a chance to nab Mike Stoops. Things will not get better soon. 4-loss seasons as far as the eye can see.
I’m just glad this sad sack of a season is over.
archie_f - January 2, 2012
Stoops wasn't coming man
Would have been great but…no
Doc1028 - January 2, 2012
Sparty
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Sparty
with a first down. Has the Rose Bowl kicked off yet?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
no,
just doing the hand shake.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
aka
coin toss.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Sparty
going for FG
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I don't know about you guys
But I’m kinda glad I don’t have to watch this team again for eight months. Ew, that game was gross.
Cheeseandcorn - January 2, 2012
Ditto
Pornhusker - January 2, 2012
This team is like an ugly caterpillar.
In Eight Months, it will emerge from its cocoon as a beautiful butterfly and bring a NC back to Lincoln!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
that's a damned good metaphor
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
WOO. MARK IT DOWN.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
FTFY
Cheeseandcorn - January 2, 2012
Hey, hype is better than what we had from 2004 to 2007.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
delay of game
Sparty
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Sparty gets it
after another tough snap and hold
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Sparty
almost with the pick off
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Could be game over!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Georgia
has to try at 47 yard FG…. after a sack
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Sparty wins!!!!!!!!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Thats a big win for the Big Ten
Especially since the other 3 early bowls went pretty poorly….and my picks went 0/4 this morning lol.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
I just cheered for MSU
I feel odd about that
Go BIG
Pornhusker - January 2, 2012
blocked!!!
at least someone in the conference beats the SEC
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
How did we beat MSU????
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
they
had a string of tough games in a row.
and we played well. we didn’t play well today, not even close. we had potential, we just threw it away a lot this season
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Agreed!
Self-imposed destructive tendencies doomed many a Cornhusker opportunity this year. Young kids making mistakes.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
The universe was feeling chipper.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
TD Wiscy!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
nice play fake
and beautiful pass
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
The B1G won a game?
Unpossible.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
Against the SEC!
We’re only 1-2 on the day!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
hey
that was our 3rd
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
what?
really?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Purdue, Illinois and MSU
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Can you believe this . . .
My wife thinks I need to help put together all this IKEA crap she bought this weekend! I need a trade in. What the hell!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
wait
she’s a farm girl. she can’t do it?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Oh, she can
but it is so much more fun to bitch at me all day!!!!!! God, I wish Iowa State would have had good football when she went there. Maybe then she would get it! Damn!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
You should suggest a delay.
Otherwise your furniture will be cursed to lose.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
THat is funny!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Oregon
zone read gets completely stuffed!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Oregon helmets are so cool!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Shit green uni's,,,,not so much!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
They're distracting.
Look at Wisconsin’s D! “OH SHINY.”
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Agreed!
All this uniform BS is ridiculous! Just another example of out of control excess in college football.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Hey, if you're gonna spend,,,,
Spend B1G!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Being a Harley owner,,,Chrome is GOOD!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
In the appropriate places
on a Harley, yes
on a helmet, no
SccrHskr - January 2, 2012
Tied up!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
lol
What a start.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
man
went upstairs for a minute…. and Oregon scores.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Totally off subject,,,
Im going to do a recipe,,,,Smoked Corn! Thoughts??
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
you can smoke corn?
what?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Should be able to.
I bet you could smoke a Snickers bar.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Even a Twinkie! LOL
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Oh yea,,,good stuff!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Woo Ball!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Monte Ball running wild!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Montee Ball
wow. just a great back.
good offensive line in front of him, too.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
man
there might be much defense in this game
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
WOW,,,Wiscy looks awesome!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Okay, Wisconsin will not be nearly this good next season.
But I assure you, Wisconsin is looking for a young, under-recruited shifty QB to turn into Wilson version 2.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I really like to watch Wisconsin's offense!
That’s my kind of football.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I want their offensive line.
I still have a soft spot for option football.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
After today...
…I really want their offensive line.
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
yeah
but.. but… but…. but…. we don’t have that offensive line.
but.. but… but…. but…. we don’t have that offensive line.maybe next year, but I’m not holding my breath
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Let's convince the Wisconsin offensive linemen to graduate and come to Nebraska for a graduate's degree in professional golf management or something else Wisconsin doesn't offer!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
TD Wiscy!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
ESPN just doomed one of these two teams to suddenly become offensively inept.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
It's Speed vs Brute force in this one!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
i don't want a car that talks back to me
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
You don't?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
shit no
everything else talks back to me.
EVERYTHING
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Hopefully not the gin.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
That's when you know
you have a problem.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Absolutely love the ground pounding,,,
offense type of football,,,,we used to be good at that!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
WE WILL ONE DAY SOON.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
It's biggest merit
Is its consistency. Something our offense lacks to a hilarious degree.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
oh
sadness
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Consistency?
Every play this year was OMG I hope they make the yards they need. Some turned out to be yes, some no. Seems like this offense was either big play or nada and it was a coin toss as to which you got. Unless you gave to Rexy that is ;)
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
If i could get one of those helmets that was NU,,,,
I’d wear that while riding the Harley,,,everyday!!! And we dont have helmet laws here!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
I'm sure you could get one of those helmets and put a sticker on it
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Would stand out at Sturgis!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
you could paint one
shiny, sparkly red.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Gotta be the chrome with a big "N" on the side!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
isn't that
minnisota?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Brutal
I’m 3-9 in my last 12 bowl picks.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
This would have been sweet!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Now picture that with an "N" on it!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
and a Rozier autograph!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Just got back from an errand...has Pelini been fired yet?
I kid. I kid! :)
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
TWICE.
Unfortunately, it was as President of the “Angry People Anonymous” and Vice Secretary of the “Sunshine Pumpers Commission”.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I didn't even
know he was on the board of the Sunshine Pumpers Commission.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Seems strange,
doesn’t it?
redvalley - January 2, 2012
It was a silent membership.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
It was supposed to have been revoked in September, but the board moves slowly.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Oregon just let lose on Wisconsin.
Ties it up at the end of the 1st.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
That kid has speed like nobody I've seen
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Wow..
that hurts!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
man
back and forth back and forth
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
No complaints here.
The universe can’t disappoint me any more than it already has.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Be careful what you wish for.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Wisconsin losing wouldn't be a disappointment.
I don’t take any pleasure in the emails extolling the virtues of Badger football I get from the university.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I want a damn beer!
Who in their right mind schedules a doctor appointment the day after a Husker bowl game?
Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!
redvalley - January 2, 2012
So have one
one beer is not going to mess up any blood test.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
You're the pharmacist,
so I’ll take your word for it!
redvalley - January 2, 2012
I have to add
assuming you aren’t supposed to be fasting already.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Nope.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Your good.
no different than eating a cookie or having a real soda.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Bright side
We’ll have to earn our hype next year. It really bugged me how long we hung around the top ten this year.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
You know,
that overhype got everything out of skew from the start this year. No way that this team should have had that kind of hype going in. Easy to say now, but it wasn’t there, even on paper.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I blame Pelini.
He was all zen-like and excited and not talking about processes.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I think it was largely based
On the assumption that a Pelini defense would be top 15 no matter what.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Obviously it was not a B1G defense.
It was built for the Big XIII. Now we’ll see if he can get the kind of players in that he needs to compete week in and week out in this conference.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
This is my thought.
Our defense did pretty well for basically being the skinny freshman going up against the beefy seniors.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Abbracadabris
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
Why did he just
rub water/gatoraid on his gloves?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
The Oregon
gloves keep throwing me. They are yellow on the inside and I keep thinking it’s a flag.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Montee Ball needs one TD to break Sander's official record.
How many would he need to match Sanders if we retroactively add bowl games?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
He had 5 in the bowl game.
Brizzle T - January 2, 2012
NFL coaches are dropping like flies.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
who's the latest?
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Rams, Bucs, and Colts front office.
Caldwell will be decided later.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Colts are going to hire ESPN employees to the front office, which means Luck is guaranteed the number one spot, regardless how he does tonight or at the Combine.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Just watched the post game presser
A couple of times I thought Bo was going to go off but kept his anger in check fairly well.
Looking forward to the Sr leadership that Burkhead is going to offer next year. Just need to keep him healthy.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
I have a bet with my husband.
Did he say “We were out coached”?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
oh hell no!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
woohoo
guess who doesn’t have to make supper )
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Offense should be legitimately good
We’re probably gonna need it.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Points points points points!!!
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Where did this Oregon passing attack come from?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
They've had a couple of weeks to make it up.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
i think
that they know if they just do zone read all day, they’re going to get killed.
learned that from LSU or something
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Musberger
How much do I hate this guy. “Wisc over there in the shade and the Ducks in the Cal sun with thier dark uniforms” Shut the F up!! You don’t think those guys run about 1 million yards every practice? And it shows since they just covered the whole field in the two plays it took me to type this.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
not only that,
their helmets reflect all the heat anyway.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
So if Florida won the Urban Meyer game...shouldn't they get to hire Urban back?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I has a sad
MacularDegenerate - January 2, 2012
you've come to the right place
you BYOB, right? :)
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Beer not strong enough
We must turn to liquor.
MacularDegenerate - January 2, 2012
You know, a good host supplies the guests with beer.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Don't get me started on that one!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
That sums it up for me too!
Never heard that before!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Wisconsin is going to devour Oregon's defense
It’s already 16-4 in TOP. Oregon may be ripping the huge plays but Oregon’s D is going to be toast pretty quickly.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Cripes, Brent...
“I think they lost him in the shade”…yet the QB had no problem finding that white jersey.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
He lost him, therefore everyone did.
BRENT SEES ALL.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Did anyone else notice
that the W’s on the helmets have a rose in them?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Copying TCU's idea from last year.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I've seen it before last year
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
and the numbers.
Geez, you think you join a conf with honorable old fashioned schools and they whore themselves out to the fancy uniform fad. JK, very few would notice compared to Oregon’s uni’s.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
I try
not to look at Oregon’s unis
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Their numbers
also have roses.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Not showing up on TV
but I saw pictures of them.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Monte Ball=Rex Burkhead!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Go for it!!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Ok,,,bad idea!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Wisconsin way out thought themselves there
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Is Paul still in the box?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Had to google for that answer but it seems he is
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Well, that explains things.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Now I have to fix the washing machine,,,,
like i need another disappointment tonight!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
it's those damned people who lived with you
too much grease
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I gave up,,,call the pro's on this one!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
FUMBLE FOR TD. Under Review.
If it stands, Wiscy takes the lead.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Tough Call
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
wow
most points in the first half of a rose bowl ever
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Am I the only one who didn't know,,,,
that Bo’s real name is Mark??
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
uh
yeah?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Damnit!!! Right on the ball as usual!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Odd, someone else in the room here said that like 5 minutes ago
So, no, you aren’t. :P
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Wisconsin
sure lead?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
The mascots TD pushups,,,,
should be replaced with pounding beers!!!!! Last mascot standing,,,wins!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
We could just make that a Division 1 sport. Every school could sponsor a beer-drinking team.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
+10000000
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Who could hang with Wisky?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Corn fed Huskers!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
oh damn
that’s true.
maybe something else – if you did liquor, the SEC would rule. but beer, it’d just be Wisconsin
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Umm...
Obviously not Caputo. Barely over the limit and having to stop to sleep geez. But really he made a smart move, showed good character in realizing he had messed up and did his best to make things right. He also had a pretty good game today compared to the rest of the line. I’m surprised ESPN did not try to make his situation bigger than it was, I don’t even think they mentioned it once during the game.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Their keg storage unit
at their student union is as big as north stadium!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I'm loving these new DirectTV comercials
“Don’t have a grandson with a dog collar….get Direct TV” Good marketing.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I hope my daughter is watching those!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
yeah
nice move by them

This now makes 4 times he’s mentioned the damned shade!

sd.husker - January 2, 2012
wow
Oregon big play that didn’t look like anything when it started.
64 yard TD
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Can Wisky keep up the pace????
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
against
this Oregon’s defense? yeah, but they are a second half team
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
point made?
on that return?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Looks like the typical Oregon game the last 2 yrs.
A team can (maybe) hang around for a quarter or half if they are lucky, but after that things go downhill quickly, and it angers me so.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
I think Wisconsin's offense is too good
And thank God Wisconsin won the Big Ten. Sparty would’ve gotten massacred in this one.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Nice run back!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Man,,,that 3am wakeup is kicking my butt!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
That and Beer!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
i suppose it is
i’m out of beer.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I bought an 18 pack for the game,,,,
glad i did!!! I’ll sleep good tonight!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Same here.
And the last one is a Wiscy beer to boot. Leinekugel’s Sunset Wheat. Maybe a bad sign for them?
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
no
all beer is from Wisconsin. it’s a dirty secret.
if the world understood that all beer was from Wisconsin – it would collapse as badly as banking
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Milwaukee's
old brewery buildings are pretty cool.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
those are fake
the real ones are buried deep deep in the ground near Hayward.
i’ll probably be killed for telling you this.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
LOL!
We need to do some recon over the border before next season so you have more accurate intel.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
As much as I want to hate this state for beating us,
Kegs of beer, lots of fireworks, a beautiful lake, and a Leinie’s brewery tour = Best family reunion ever.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Haven't been to Leinie's yet.
Just moved close and haven’t taken advantage of all there is to do in that state. Need to do a brewery tour next summer!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Been a Leinie's fan
for bout 5 or 6 yrs now but it’s hard to find more than 1 or 2 varieties down here. I’ve tried about all they have when I was back up north. All were pretty good. The tour is worth it if you’ve never been to a decent sized brewery before. If nothing else, the area is very scenic.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
You all may keep the Leinie's.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012

Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
No TD for Wisky,,,,
beginning of the end????

Could be
Need a stop badly here.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
hey!
its a stop!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Didn't realize the Ducks had a punter!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Maybe we will have a second half contest here
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
maybe
the Badgers will just wear them down a bit
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Oregon fakes an injury!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
So what you suppose the coaches
are doing right now? 4-star hotel. Family in town. Season over, though recruiting is major factor right now. Just curious.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
screaming at the
walls in their hotel rooms?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Mom and dad stayed at the Peabody
Nice digs!
Mom: “You dad has taken me to some pretty nice places, but I’ve never stayed in a place like this!”
Maybe USC’s spartan approach was more in line with what the players needed.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Elaborate (I heard basically nothing about the teams' pre-game arrangements)
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
12 yards a play given up by Wisconsin
To put that in perspective, Washington gave up 9.5/play to Baylor the other night….
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Touchdown!
Wisconsin!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Barn burner to the finish!
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
that's probably the huge difference in Nebraska's game and everyone else's
when’s the last time you saw a Nebraska play where the ball was thrown before the rceiver made their cut?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
can we blame that on coaching?? I will!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
i'm not sure
we have a quarterback that can make those throws.
just a lack of confidence. and our passing game is dependent upon having a good run game
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Coaching!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
TM had some good throws that could have got us back in it
but it’s hard to build confidence in the passing game when they drop them.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Yea, you have to rely....
on the ability of the players at some point!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
This team has been the worst at making it happen when it counts the most.
Other teams seem to be able to make the plays to keep them in the chase. We haven’t. Dropped balls, brokedown coverages on 3rd down, etc
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Been happening for 3 years now,,,
when will it change?
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
I might add,
besides David’s strip in the Ohio State game. We needed more of that type of game changing action this season to turn things around.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Wisconsin
got a 3rd and 18
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Oregon
player – man he was hit and ain’t moving much
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Badger interception
what’d they call – illegal block?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Yes
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Meanwhile
Big pick for Wisconsin. They’ve got a chance to put Oregon behind the 8 ball now. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if they cash in. Oregon’s defense has been out there for prolly 30 minutes already.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
oh man
they’re bringing out a cart for the Oregon dude.
that sucks. he must have landed on that knee pretty bad
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Oh, good
When I saw the stretcher I was thinking neck injury.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
If Wilson wants to go to the NFL, I want Chicago to draft him.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Chicago is the graveyard for good quarterbacking
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
But if you're a rookie, you want to go to Chicago.
You’ll eventually be great somewhere else.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
It's abdominal thrusts, unless you want to pay the Heimlich family.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Monte Ball is a powerhouse. Cannot bring him down!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Does it make anybody else proud
that Wisconson is a pretty class act team, and that Alvarez essentially states he modeled the program off of Neb?
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
yeah
always like Wisconsin since I moved to Minnesota.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Aaaand int
Crap.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
That was a nice pick
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
shit
Wisconsin interception.
man, what a bad choice by Wilson
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Hope...its all we got!
Despite the disappointing finish, Martinez is full of optimism going foward. When asked about the returning players at the key positions on offense next year, the quarterback said: “Next year if we don’t play for the national championship I’ll probably be pretty disappointed.”
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
MARTINEZ IS TRANSFERRING TO AUBURN, PAWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012

He's Chiznik's new DC!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I still remember the day
Chizik was boo’d getting off the airplane at Aub. and called a loser.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Wait 12 more months and they'll be calling for him to be fired.

Meh. I prefer my QBs to be cocky SOBs.
It’d be nice if the team were, you know, able to back it up.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
COMPETING FOURTH QUARTER TRADITIONS.
Oregon wins.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012

i was going for Wisconsin.
because i did the “Jump Around” there, and, that song is longer than you think it is.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I've vehemently against the Jump Around.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
why is that?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012

Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
nice job
of fielding that punt inside the 10
although with Oregon – is it that important?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Oregon chuckles at the challenge and then steals your girlfriend, your beer AND your car while scoring touchdown.

'cause they're bastards.
shit, we should have played a night game
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
They made it
But I still don’t get it. Try a 4th and 2, where success probably means a touchdown. OR try a slightly better than 50/50 field goal to extend the lead to 7?
jdhusker - January 2, 2012

That kicker
was only 6/11 FGs for the year…54%. We’d crap our pants if our kicker had stats like that.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
They wouldn't be our kicker.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
We're Nebraska
Unlike Oregon we need to kick field goals once in a while. :(
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Once in a while,,,Hahaha!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
For now.
SOON we will be a full team juggernaut and ESPN will declare Nebraska the greatest conference ever.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
That's when I knew things were in a funk today
and everything was against when Maher got blocked on the EP and missed the FG. A sign of the football gods saying “today is not your day”
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Yes.
It was an omen.

Sorry Badgers
Sparty used up all of the conference’s luck today.

michigan vs virginia tech
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012

Purdue, former Zookers, and Sparty
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Michigan better damn well win
Because 3-7 would just be pathetic.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
can you believe Wisconsin though?
best team in school history, and they lose two games in the last moments, then this fumble happens.
God hates them.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
bullshit
you put a second back on that clock
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Abbredaris= scary
in Badger languague though

Ooh...
shades of the Big XII championship game….will they get the one second?
redvalley - January 2, 2012
SHIT
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Another lame ending brought to you by
Instant Replay
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
true dat
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Eh. The B1G is to slow to compete with the Pac-12. This just proves it.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
They got that one right....
But wow how about Wisconsin’s losses this year? Lost on a hail mary, lost on basically a hail mary, and lost when they spiked the ball on the last play.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
They may have got it right
but ia review sure is a buzzkill on the last play of a game.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Well hey, we survived our first year in a new conference
And we got into a fine bowl game against a fine team. In fact, I think that we were actually better than them but we just couldn’t get out of our own way. It was a disappointing loss but not embarassing like last year.
I would like to see Pelini’s teams be more consistent and have the ability to overcome their mistakes. If we keep Pelini around and let him continue to mature as a head coach, I think we will see improvement there. Also, this team was pretty young for the most part, and that may have been another big reason they couldn’t handle themselves when it got rough in big games.
Billgrip - January 2, 2012

theise - January 2, 2012
Same speech,,,different year!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
+2
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
It does feel that way
But honestly we aren’t going backwards. We are just kind of stuck on the edge of greatness that a lot of teams are and with the right players and the right year, we could easily turn the corner.
This loss definitely puts more pressure on this year’s recruiting class. If it’s mediocre, it might be harder for people to believe that we will ever turn the corner. I think this year we just didn’t quite have enough talent and experience on the field to be a top 10 team. Last year we did, but they went with a freshman QB and that limited us. Hopefully Bo can convince talented prospects that they can be the difference in us making the jump from a 9-4 team to a 11-2 or 13-0 team.
Billgrip - January 2, 2012
Welcome!
I generally agree, I’m still seething though.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
I cooled off after listening to idiots call into the Big Red Reaction for 2 hours on my drive back from Christmas
Billgrip - January 2, 2012
The thing that gets to me
Is that we should have WON this thing damnit.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Iv'e said that,,ummmm 4 times this year!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Well
It’s upsetting when turnovers and mistakes blow open what should’ve been a close game, a la Wisconsin/Michigan.
Imo, this one is worse, because we walked out there and hit USC in the mouth and frankly dominated the first 35 minutes…..and came out of that stretch somehow down 16-13. This was not a game that we should’ve lost. This was not a game that should’ve been close. /repetition makes me feel better.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
and reading your words
helps soothe my soul.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
What gets me angry the most is missed tackles.
Bo came in with the hype of discipline and fundamentals. We are penalty ridden and cannot tackle until after the 3rd guy has missed the ball carrier. As soon as those get cleaned up, we can move on.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Yep
Bo’s next step has GOT to be cleaning up the garbage we saw today and in all of our other losses/unnecessarily close wins. Do that and we’re 11-1/10-2.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Yeah, I agree with this!
For such a strong defensive coach and disciplinarian, you would expect to see better tackling and much fewer penalties.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
The other thing that has baffled me all yr
is how far our D line lines up away from the ball. Every game, every play we are 1 yd off the ball when every other team in football has their helmet in the neutral zone before the snap. Is that part of our scheme? If so it should stop until we get more explosive guys.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Totally agree, we should have won!
The thing I hate the most is that last touchdown they got…it allowed ESPN to use the word “route” in the headlines when really it was a 10 point game that should have been a 7 point game except for that freak blocked PAT. Let’s not forget that Hail mary…and Maher missed a 39 yarder. Those are all things that almost NEVER happen!
There were just way too many “what-ifs” in this game, and a lot of them were very legitimate. This game was so much closer than the score indicated…but outside of this state no one will remember all that, they will just look at the score being 30-13 and say “SEC speed beat the Big 10 again.”

stanford misses FG
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012

sd.husker - January 2, 2012
So about that SEC speed...
I think it’s so overblown. We had a lot of success with the option today, and Rex was outrunning SC’s “hyper-fast” defensive ends with easy. But of course at the end, when Taylor was forced to drop back and pass and it became a Martinez sackathon, ESPN announcers were making passionate word love to SEC speed.
Billgrip - January 2, 2012
Not to mention
Smashmouth worked pretty well too. About the only thing that consistently didn’t work for our offense was the power toss interestingly.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Nebraska neutralized their speed in the first half by running inside-out with Burkhead, and
physical play by the DB’s. When the sack fest started in the second half, the speed showed up all over the field.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I think losing Denard hurt our secondary more than losing Jeffrey hurt SC's receivers
Billgrip - January 2, 2012
In hindsight I agree. At the time I thought we'd be fine.
Then I remembered how young our secondary is without Dennard.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
And Weedon gets picked.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
oh

30 yr olds,,,im still screwed!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
look
Okie State’s defense hits hard!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Helmet to helmet...no question
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Please pleas
can we see that hit one more time, I don’t think 15 was enough.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
2 more times work for ya?
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Thanks
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012

Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
what the hell
oklahoma state defense?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Bill Young. He's a good DC
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
My trip through western Nebraska!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Not my picture but you get the idea!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
all my place is canyons and hills
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
all your base are belong to us!
theise - January 2, 2012
So plain its beautiful!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Love the big sky.
theise - January 2, 2012
Dude took you forever.
That pic was taken 6 months ago, what did you do walk?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
ghahahaah
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Once again,,,not my Picture!
Just what western Nebraska looks like!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
must be
north western Nebraska, not enough cows.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Nothing in the Sand Hills!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Cows outnumber
people there something like 100 to one.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
Please don't remind me of the land of my ancestors while I am stuck down here in
god forsaken STX!
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
wtf
did Matt Millen just say about strengths and weaknesses
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
oh
the weakest chain has the strongest links, but not in one place.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
No idea. I have a Matt Millen filter so all I hear is "wha wha wha whaaa wha-wha"
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Charlie Brown's teacher??
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
oh that's better
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Nice work!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
wha wha wha?
like 50s do whop or like the late 60s with jimi hendrix’ guitar?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Too busy drafting receivers to make sense!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Yeah!!!!!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
BURNED!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Just like Martinez throws it!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
well
yeah, actually.
kind of.
in MY DREAMS
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Yeah, right!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Mike Gundy
doesn’t always have that look, but he has that look when he T Boone Pickens attaches that shock thing to his balls
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
You have a website for that device???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
what?
you want one?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Um,,,No,,,just wondering!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Just send him the one
Mrs. CN has hooked up to your’s!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Hahahaha!!!!
Plus a rec’d!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
oh dude
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
TMI!!!
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
ruralking.com
Roadweary - January 2, 2012
ban
is that what you said?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
nearly another pick
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Hey Jon
do your kids complain about Skyrim freezing up a lot? Ours does, but we don’t know if it’s the game or our PS3
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
we have it on xbox
but… i don’t know that it does
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
my youngest son
got a PS3 for Christmas, so we’ll start learning more about that as the year goes on
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
What happened to
Okie State’s offence?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
i think
they’re freaking out about being in this big a game.
otherwise, wtf?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
First bowl in how long?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
12 months!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
not the first bowl
but BCS? man, i can’t think – it’s gotta be their first
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
It is their first. Their first major bowl in about 80 years I think
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
Stanford
interception. that’s one apiece.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
A pick for OSU!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
This is going somewhat well.
Okie losing but Luck getting picked off to shut ESPN up about him.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
so
basically what they’re saying is Justin Blackmon has a STD
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
What?
They said that?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
has a leg infection
you know…. lots of antibiotics….. or something.
maybe i’m guessing. what’s a leg infection, seriously?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Someone's
got MRSA…..those locker rooms are crawling with that nasty stuff.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
OH
damn that MRSA.
is that a STD? because locker rooms could be crawling with that, eh? :)
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
no
last time I checked they don’t give non-steroidal for STD’s.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
maybe ea cut that's gotten infected
or phlebitis in a leg vessel?
theise - January 2, 2012
maybe
his bonkulator got infused with thermogastic motion
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
now your just
making up words.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
clearly
you’ve never had a gonkulator infection
it really sucks. can’t pick up radio. can’t plug in an ipod.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
OMG no!!!!
not something that affects the ipod.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
yeah, that's the ticket :)
theise - January 2, 2012
The last time my bonkulator got infused
they stuck a wire up my intestigator with medicine on it. Burnt like hell!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Is this one of those
“journalistic leaps!”
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
oh fuck yes
i’m learning from the lads in Omaha!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
LOL!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
These TV time outs are killing me!
If you don’t live in Iowa, you have no idea what caucus time is like. I am so sick of commercials with Perry, Romney, Bachmann, Gingrich, and all of the other fruitcakes thinking they want to be President. And, we turned out damn phone off because of all the recorded messages! What’s crazy is that no one in this house is a registered Republican and we are still getting them!!!!! Jon, take me fishin’!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Watch it on ESPN3
they don’t show any local commercials.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Good advice!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
God I wish
they’d stop crying about Luck not winning the Heisman.
redvalley - January 2, 2012
The best player won it
so I agree. They should shut up!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
And Stanford scores!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
well crap
I thought the Cowboys would have had this one.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
oh
Stanford.
you damned guys i’m opening another big beer
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Hell ya!!! Big Beer!!!
Im so sleepy,,,i’ll agree with anything,,,almost!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Can we come move in
with you while I find a job? It’s just me, my husband and my puppy….she’s good as long as you want a paper shredder on legs.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Oh hell,,,why not!!!
Bring your own drinks!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
And 8 kids!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
My eyes,,,they burn!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
oh come on
you big baby. you can make it another two quarters.
do i have to remind you how long the offseason is?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Im not out of beer yet,,,
i bought an 18 pack!!! In it for the long haul!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Although,,,lack of sleep,,,
lots of beers, and a Husker loss is wearing me down!!! Oh,,,OSU scores!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
kaboom
i don’t know why Okie State waited until they were to do this
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
were what???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
behind
theise - January 2, 2012
men...
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
btw
I have to say I am completely disappointed by the lack of Cock jokes today.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I was trying to be good.
I died when someone said all 3 on game center went for cocks.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Getting railed by Cocks is not a joking matter!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
You realise what you just did?
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
uh....
sexually harassed my community?
went over the line?
opened the flood gates?
spread MRSA, a STD, to the masses?
STARTED THE END OF THE WORLD BECAUSE IT’S 2012 AND FORETOLD BY THE MAYANS?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I'm skipping 2012 because of the Mayans.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Saw something on the stadium big screen in second half
Don’t know if it made tv, but looked like the right hand sign (of three) held by cheerleaders(?!) said GOOD COCKS
theise - January 2, 2012
The game thread was seriously lacking pussies as well.
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
I didn't know Willis coached for Stanford!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
whachoo talkin bout willis?
theise - January 2, 2012
look
it’s that Blackmon guy. scoring.
imagine that.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Happyness is a Bitch with a Cock in her mouth!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Here we go. Put the kids to bed!
Mr. Bump - January 2, 2012
again I have to say
Jon started it.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
what?
started what?
you started that talk about diseases. or infections. something like that. things that do bad things to bodies.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Um,,,No cock jokes!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
No, Sir
you brought up STD’s first.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
oh
damn.
i did, didn’t I?
well… lets move to stoikiometri chemistry then.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
*makes notes of words for the future of science*
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
To late!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
kids are here?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Hi!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
You can buy your own alcohol
Where you may be young, and make me feel OLD, you are not the type of kid he was referring too,
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
i'm 12 and what is this?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
physical age Jon
not mental.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I just like making him feel old.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
what kind of asshole
shows up at a party with 12 tacos?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Noz
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
oh
so there’s two of us that knows that’s true.
good call!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Certainly not you - you don't even provide beer.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Certainly not you - you don't even provide beer.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Hate that double post!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
I thought it was warranted.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
In that case,,,yea!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
that's true
Todd could tell you I was the guy that’d show up with ice
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
And cigars to chew on!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Is Jon the type of guy,,,
who could fall into a bucket of titties and come out sucking his thumb???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
You don't know how bad I want to answer that . . .
but I really, really like his wife! But you are on the right track!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Actually, Noz
showed up with the box for twelve, and only two left!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
The under 21 types.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
A Mexican asshole?
BuffulanceMan - January 2, 2012
so true
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Stanford's
pulilng guard didn’t even have to block anyone but fell down in the end zone out of exasperation.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
ah SHIT
i need a new laptop.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Good thing football is done.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Let's get rid of instant replay and
go back to human error. I liked that a lot better. It made for great Penn State t-shirts!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Just wait until instant replay gets into soccer.
It’ll die fast.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
yeah
plus it would have given wisconsin another second… and some other team that should have won a Big 12 championship, oh… i don’t know who that would be.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Not America's team, obviously.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
It has def ruined the refs
They second guess themselves all the time now. Sometimes they blow a whistle too early on a fumble, sometimes too late. They have just been sloppier all around since replay came in.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Blackmon
putting on a NFL exhibition
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Someone should.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
There goes Blackman again
with a trail of puss oozing out of his infected, ah, leg
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I feel like that's a danger to the other players.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
don't worry
it’s not contagious.
unless you’ve got your gonkulator out. then that thing is all infected right away
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Good to know.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
hey
we’re CN. We’re all about education!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
That's why I come here!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Another Cock Pun!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Please define gonkulator.
Is that the same thing as having an inflamed vistabula, treated with high grade anti-biotics and radiation when coming in contact with one of those dirty, dirty galfarbs?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Why do I feel
like you guys are talking in vulcan.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I'd suggest Google but if you're right that wouldn't be nice.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
because
we’re doing the same damned thing that medical professionals do to us.
except that I don’t know latin all that well.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
so in other words
this is how my husband feels all the time?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Latin?
I thought we were talking Yiddish, goya!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I read that differently,,,(Puss) sorry!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
TD OSU!!!!! Tied up!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
/old man joke goes here
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Brandon Weeden
becomes the oldest person to score in Fiesta Bowl history, barring prostrate problems.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Oh,,,thats not right!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Can an old man with prostate problems score?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Apparently not...!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Maybe with So.Carolina's cheerleaders!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
He can with the right medication.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Well, there's hope.
But I’m not sure the Carolina cheerleaders are the medicine one might need!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
He just did!
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
We're not even at halftime yet....!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
And another
games goes into the half tied.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
people
can complain about bowl season, but there has been a lot of really good games
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
It's sad that it ends tonight.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
In the Famous words of Lee Corso....
Aw..Fuck it!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Love it!!!!!
That is perfect!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
HEY
no FUCKING swearing in the game threads.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Aw Fuck,,,im sorry!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
you fucking swear again
you fucker. and I’ll ban someone. probably not you, but that negative guy because he really pissed me off earlier.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
You fucking do that!!!
That fucker deserves it!!! Fucker!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
God....
Jessie Palmer needs to be a better actor so I don’t have to watch him on ESPN
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
i like
jesse palmer. he’s nice looking. and doesn’t appear to be infected with anything.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I kind of like him
not in a man-crush way. But I like his analysis. Not full of a lot of BS and coach-speak.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
You like his analsyst???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Todd
has always like analysts. that’s why we’re friends if you know what i mine (wink wink nudge nudge)
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Shhhhhhhhh!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
So if you two are friends
you have his home number and can call and ask Mrs CN to take away his gin right?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
It's really your duty as a responsible internet commentator.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Yeah, but what I love most about Mrs. CN
is that she lets Jon be Jon! We all know he is going to have a hell of a hangover tomorrow, and she is the one that gets to see him suffer first hand! This doesn’t make sense, does it?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Would be better if she
would take pictures and post them.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Now that's a great idea!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
That would be epic!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
You cant even type,,hahaha
and i’ve been up since 3am,,,bastard!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Yeah, I like the way
he explains what is going on on the field. He’s articulate and he doesn’t try to impress people with how smart he is.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I just think he tries too hard.
And he suffers from 2 of my least favorite attributes on a man. 1 – he does that stupid fo-hawk and 2 – he enjoys the sound of his own voice.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I'll give you the fo-hawk.
Tried it on my 50th birthday so I’d look younger, and you can imagine the response I got from my teenagers!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
you turned 50?
man you’re old.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Yep, and obsessed with my own demise.
Sucks to realize that lots of people kick the bucket before you get much further down the road.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
(I thought Jon didn't have any gin...?)
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I was just thinking the same thing...
especially when he started showing his man crush on plamer.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I DON'T HAVE MAN CRUSHES
i was just saying I don’t mind Jesse Palmer.
I hated Bob Griese as an announcer, he was a complete ass. But Brian Griese is announcing now, and I’m trying to figure out if I like him. It’s always unfair to hold the sins of the father to the son (or at least I hope so, because I have really nice kids thanks to Mrs CN)
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Dude,
your son put “rob a store with a spoon” on his bucket list, AND you want to kill them every other week, now their nice? ;)
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
(The gin is talking, I guess.)
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Thats right,,,a spoon,,,HAhahahaha!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
that was the youngest son
i have two.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
wow
that will live forever, won’t it?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
That's how the internet works.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Sorry,
I tend to have a good memory for silly crap like that.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Have another one,,,
and start from scratch!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Wow,,this is taking a different twist!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Well now I'm getting angry that Jon wasted the gin on Stanford vs OSU!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
i'm not having gin
i’m having really really good beer
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
and lots of them ;)
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I've got this Kentucky ale
stuff that was given to me for Christmas. It is beer and bourban. Great stuff!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
what is that?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
A beer brewed in Kentucky.
Have tried to get it in Iowa and Nebraska, but they aren’t shipping outside of Kentucky and southern Indiana.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
How far south
in Indiana? I’m not too far from there.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
They brew it in bourbon barrels so that limits the supply somewhat.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Apparently not good enough for Nebraska!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I could so see Jon doing this!! Me too for that matter!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a3WtbPkclQ
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Oh shit!
I have seen that! Was another John from college, but I saw it!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Not the one in the video, but I saw a guy do that!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
But,
he’s drinking at home, so we don’t have to worry about a DUI.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Just think of him headed for the fridge for another drink!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
isn't that what kids are for?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
oh
my kids are forbidden from getting me a beer, or anything else.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Agree with you there!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
I got my boss a beer last year
and the bartender put Tabasco sauce on the lip of the bottle……i thought he was going to die, he’s never asked me to get him another drink.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
man
you guys are a tough crowd.
what if I’m just a sick-minded person?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
but you know deep down
that we all love you right?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Well, except for the trolls.
But they hate everyone.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
hahaha
yeah, mostly. :)
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
damn
Weeden Sacked!
Okie State just can’t get a lead
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
At least they're hanging tough!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Oh man,,,18 hrs,480 miles, and 12 beers,,,
Im toast!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
come on
puss boy.
one more half and you can collapse
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
for a minute
there I thought you were talking to Blackmon
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Now thats FUNNY!!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Agreed!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Maybe the wife will smear me with,
peanut butter and jelly and eat me???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
uh
wow. bath salts now?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
real bath salts
or those new things that everyone’s sniffing and doing like drugs?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
OMG
way too much info.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
It may be getting late.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Gross
Also, I made it through today without drinking!
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
How?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I have a BRUTAL cold
I was already high as a kite on cold meds so
a) the effect was reasonably similar
b) it gets dangerous pretty quick when alcohol gets mixed with codeine and a bunch of other said. Or so saith my doctor.
I considered risking it.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
other stuff***
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
I was not aware of the cold meds.
You’re excused.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I wouldn't
narcs and alcohol can be scary.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Yep,,get well soon jd!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
But Jade...
This was a BAD day. :P
Also, if you ever manage to invent non-dependence forming Afrin, I will pay you 50% of whatever I make every year for the rest of my life.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
ever tired
just regular ocean nasal spray? I know it’s only saline but it actually does work, and the blood vessels don’t respond the same way to it, so you don’t get the rebound congestion….
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Hmmmmm...no
I’ll have to try that. While my immune system is generally very good, the common cold is the bane of my existence. I get it 4 or 5 times a year, it lasts 1-2 weeks with all of the usual symptoms and congestion so bad I have trouble inhaling enough Afrin to do any good. Needless to say the drug cocktail that I take to combat it is usually pretty extensive, so there’s nothing wrong with giving something else a try. :)
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
just stay away from the
stupid neti pots okay?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
You mean microbial vats?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
YES
what at least two people have died from that brain eating microbe. I read about the first one and threw mine away.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Hehe.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Science nerds :(
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
Nothing fixes a cold quicker than Nyquil and beer.
Well Brandy does but that stuff is nasty.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Nyquil
used to be like 80 prof or something like that.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
WOO.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
me too
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
12 beers...?
I am not worthy….
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
I have been training with the Husker games and CN!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
buck up
you have 6 more beers.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Im blaming you for my complete incompetence tomorrow!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
I told you Friday
you should call in sick.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Who do you blame on the other days of the week?
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
Kids!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
That graphics shows me that Luck is perfect for a West Coast-style offense. (I know the WCO is verboten in these parts but, hey, it's a legitimate concern.)
Does Indianapolis run the WCO?
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
oh
the NFL all runs somewhat the same offense. They’d like us to believe it’s all different, but it’s just iterations of the same thing.
Luck is good because he lines up under center, can call his own plays, read a defense. He’s a NFL QB.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Tebow doesn't do that
and he’s an NFL quarterback!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
*cough*
For one more week!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
no,
he just plays one on TV
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Funny!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
The water boy has turf toe.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
uh
good NFL quarterbacks?
did anyone see what Matt Flynn did as a backup?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Don't remind me.
WHY CAN’T CHICAGO DRAFT A BACKUP. OR A STARTER. OR A QB.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
it's not in their
DNA.
RB, Oline=Chicago
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
But but...
They don’t have those either.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
well
that’s where they need to be, ain’t it?
Minnesota, though, they don’t have much of anything
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Amazing!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
He's a free agent,,,
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
CHICAGO. GET THIS GUY.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
That reminds me . . .
why the hell are we all watching this D-1 BCS crap football! All the good quarterbacks, two-thirds of the DBs and about half of the wide receivers played FCS football. That’s the football we should be watching!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
They don't put
that on TV as much.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
That's not nice to call Purdue a FCS program.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Or Cal. Or Michigan.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Love it!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
They won't have
much of a choice will they.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Play not to lose!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Come on Stanford!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
NERDS.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
TD Stanford!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
oh for shits sake
that’s just shitty defense.
hahahaha
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Yeah!!!!!!
You’re gonna work for us one day! You’re gonna work for us one day! You’re gonna work for us one day! You’re gonna work for us one day!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Psh. Nerds are going to work for me.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
wtf
you’ve hit the gin, haven’t you?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Bourban
and I don’t have to work tomorrow! Except for my slave-driving wife that thinks I double-majored in construction management and interior design!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I thought
those were required courses before you could buy the engagement ring. No?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Have you been married long???
Thats what were supposed to do!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
20 years on the 4th of July
Jon, didn’t you join us for the honeymoon?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
He's going to get upset, now we all know he's at least 20.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
he's atleast 50
keep up salt
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
FINE.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
That sounds like a great story!!!!
Please elaborate!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Generally speaking, we were all so
drunk at each other’s weddings, anything is possible!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
on your honeymoon?
uh… did I?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
That was a weird formation for Stanford.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
OSU gets the fumble,,,,
somewhere on the field!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Oh,,,good field position!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
First and goal, OSU!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
how'd that happen?
i saw the fumble, but how’d Stanford end up with the ball in their own end zone?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
OSU got the fumble on the four, WR dropped the ball in the endzone.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
okay I was feeling left out
I just opened my first hard cider.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
welcome to the party,,,,
im going to bed,,,hahahaha!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
didn't they just do
the movie “Tuskeegee Airmen” about the black pilots in WWII?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
so do we think
that Okie State just lost it?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
If they get one stop on Stanford, they'll be back in it.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
oh no
it’s not even the fourth yet.
there’s 21-28 points to be scored yet
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
What is the Big XII going to look like next year?
Does it come down to whether or not Landry Jones comes back?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
One would think.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Landry Jones,,hahaha,,,i was reading Tom Landry??? WTH!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Landry Jones
going pro this year? he was awful.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Did RGIII
ever make an announcement?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
No announcement until the 12th or so, according to his father.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Yes,,,going pro
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Mixed stories.
His dad says he’s going. Baylor says no decision yet.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
we have no idea right now,,LOL
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
ESPN said yes earlier....
So that is pretty much Gospel right?
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
So whose going to be good?
Kansas State?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I'm sure OU has someone decent waiting behind Landry.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
And there's Texas
even if they aren’t good they think they are.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Also, TCU and WVU (maybes) are joining.
I bet TCU could challenge, assuming Patterson fixes that D.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
just say it
Matt Millen – he got hit in the balls
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I thought you all wore
cups to protect the boys.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
That's only in movies for the writers to have quick easy jokes.
HuskerinTX - January 2, 2012
and for kids to cup check you!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
doesn't work in all situations
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
especially when they pinch you!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
ESPN can't say that without getting a note from the principal.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
They would just have to
apologize during the next commercial.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I'm sure they still get fines.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
did they fine corso?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
It was to classic to fine him!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Luck to Indy???
I think so,,,Peyton’s days are numbered!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
They already were.
He’s basically as old as Favre.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
shut up
he’s younger than me (I think)
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Definately younger than me!!!
At least we kicked his ass in 97!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
he's actually a year older than me
I had to check.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Favre or Manning????
they both are younger than me!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Manning
Favre is 8 years older than me.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Wow, that means im,,,
10 years older than you.
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
man
Okie State just get these guys off the field
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Careful. It's been chippy enough.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
this damned well better be holding
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
And thus it is...
…but even then, Okie Light struggles to contain…
BTW, I just posted a game story about that ugly Capital One Bowl game.
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
ah
i forgot to eat supper. had some chips and dip. I’m good.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Did the same,,,to tired to eat!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
alcohol doesn't count for supper?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Had a ham sandwich on the way home,,,,
at 9:30!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
One more comment and we hit 1000!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
there you go
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Yay!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
You know
it just isn’t right that there are bowl games after today. It shouldn’t be that way. We should be madly flipping our remotes from channel to channel, keeping up with the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
That's why I'm done after today.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
agreed
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
That is if the Orange Bowl
and Sugar Bowl were worth watching.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I watched part one,,,
the sequels always suck!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Reply fail,,,sorry!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
I'm done too.
I’ll read about the NC game in the paper.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Okie State
running up tempo
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
TD OSU!!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
oh
there’s the Blackmon guy
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Oozing puss all the way to the end zone
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Puss or Puss???
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
what?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
I'm waiting for the explanation
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Puss, the stuff the oozes from infected whatchamacallits
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
wounds
it oozes from open wounds.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
a wound to the gonkulator.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
I know what puss is
I just want SD to tell me the difference between puss and puss.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Not sure myself,,,
im so sleepy!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
What Todd said^^^^^^
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
puss
puss – a wimpy man like Todd
puss – ooze from an infected, open wound.
it’s all in how you say it
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
Thats it Jon!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
*pus = ooze from an infected, open wound.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Puss on has one s?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
No,, Pus does!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
That kind of pus, yes.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
well
yeah, to separate it from puss, which is like you, Todd.
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
You're welcome for the setup.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Hey now!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
yeah
and you probably have HD too, don’t you?
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
No
watching it the old fashioned way on analog. Can get wi-fi in my man cave.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Correction:
Can’t get wi-fi in my man cave
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
Your man cave
sucks.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Tell me about it.
But that goes back to my previous comments about the whole construction management/interior design issue
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
AND TD OSU
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
OSU has had some real good receivers lately.
How the heck do they get them out of Texas!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
If you had the option would
you go to Texas?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Good point!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
damn
unlike us, they use their strengths on offense
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
I see a big difference in discipline.
Not the stupid mistakes and numerous bad decisions.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
okay
3rd and 14 for stanford
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
shit
can you believe that?
well yes, it is Okie State’s pass defense
Jon Johnston - January 2, 2012
It's also very good execution by 11 guys in white.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
For what reason do drummers think they need
sweat bands?
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
drums are heavy
and it makes them look cool
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Doesn't look like the Okie State
cheerleaders had the same number of tanning coupons as the Carolina girls. Nor the free seconds at the buffet.
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
GOOOOOOOOOO STANFORD!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
pft
Go Cowboys!!!!!
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
CHAOS. SHOOTOUT AT THE ARIZONA CORAL.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
TD Cowpokes!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
OSU gonna tie it up!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
Did Okie State leave too much time on the clock?
Or did they take too much time for them to be able to come back after Stanford retakes the lead?
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
Weeden just needs Blackmon open.
All the Hail Mary’s.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
wow, this should be the game!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
GOOOOOOOOO STANFORD!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
If he misses this it is because he is from Austin, Texas
and Texas is from Austin and I hate Texas and I want Stanford to win and if they don’t it is because of those damn Texans!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
OT!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Fucking Texans!
Todd Wolverton - January 2, 2012
SHANK!
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
Good grief!!!
sd.husker - January 2, 2012
YAY AMERICA!
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Did we lose Jon?
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
think he can make
this FG?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
SHANK!
Stanford shanks a second FG in OT!
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
And Stanford misses ANOTHER FG
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Go Okie!!!!
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Boom!
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
AND TD. OSU WINS THEIR FIRST BCS GAME EVER.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
WAIT WAIT WAIT. OFFICIAL REVIEW.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
GASP HE'S SHORT.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Crap
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Four downs to punch it in.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
way to talk
me off the ledge there Salt.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
It's not over...
Okie State ball at the 1 yard line.
Husker Mike - January 2, 2012
WTH was that?
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
No one wants the party to end.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Somebody's not getting laid tonight
Yeesh, makes you glad to have Brett Mah—-never mind.
jdhusker - January 2, 2012
I do feel sorry
for the Stanford kicker…he could have won the game.
~OnlyJade~ - January 2, 2012
Or kept them in it.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
*sad trombone*
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
And game! On a FG!
T BOONE PICKENS FINALLY BOUGHT A BCS.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
That's it, that's game for me.
No more CFB until fall.
I guess my lab work is thankful for my full attention.
Salt Creek and Stadium - January 2, 2012
Good night guys.
Thanks for making it a fun season.
