Big XII Roundtable - This Time, It?s Personal
2007-08-27 19:59:00 Matt at The Crimson and Cream Machine felt that the first go-round of the Big XII Roundtable was a smashing success and I do heartily agree (by the way guys, feel free to leave your links in the comment section here). It went so well, in fact, that the North dominated the South in ... More About: Personal , Time , Sona
Saturday Sound Offs? Roundtable
2007-08-23 18:31:00 It appears that Roundtables are all the rage these days as the various bloggery has been sent from all corners of the U.S. (and possibly the world, who knows?).

Come on Seven?er?Five
2007-08-22 20:57:00 Much had been made about Nebraska junior I-back Marlon Lucky even before he stepped onto campus. From a winter time skullcap featuring his name in some circles to every possible criticism on every carry, catch or block he could’ve, should’ve or did make. When you’ve got the spotlight on you, unless you’re a ... More About: Five
Blankman?s Big XII Roundtable
2007-08-20 22:19:00 I was approached by some of my fellow Cornhuskers from the Blogosphere regarding a potential Big XII Roundtable to get some quality takes from not only our own backyard, but also ones to the west, east and south. The idea was originally brought up by a Sooner, so I’m sure that this is some ...
Hello, Old Friend, Hello.
2007-08-20 03:27:00 I was at the local mall in Grand Island yesterday, and I saw a T-Shirt at the Pro Image store. It was a new shirt for their Husker line, and it said this: Beat the Booty out of SC I smiled. More About: Friend
Skimmin? the Sporting News
2007-08-17 00:58:00 Now this is a great way to end a bad day. Of course, tomorrow’s pay day and we all know it’s a good day when daddy gets his paper, but when I opened my mailbox to see the Spor ting News ’ college football preview with John Laurinaitis (a.k.a. Animal Jr.) on the cover, I knew ...

Point-Do You Have a Point?
2007-08-12 00:14:00 Well there’s no beating around the idea that John and I see eye to eye on many an issue. It’s good to clash now and again, which I feel we get sometimes, but more often than not? We’re on the same page. I thought it might be time to take on someone ... More About: Point
The Two Star Outrage
2007-08-10 20:08:00 This recruiting cycle has been, well, you could call it a lot of things. Amazing, bizarre, unbelievable, but for some, the word would be confusing and not just because two of the top rated prospects at their respected positions, but rather why Nebraska is offering who they’re offering in some cases because…who are these ...

2007-08-01 05:41:00 Dear Mr. Simers: I really wish to respond to your column in the L.A. Times regarding your thoughts on my home state.

Pissed Off & Proud of It
2007-07-30 21:45:00 Often in conversation, the topic of coaches comes up. Not necessarily play-calling or personnel decisions, but just they as individuals. From other actual coaches to the ones who do so with a Playstation or Xbox controller in their hands, there are some coaches that like, but Coach Callahan gets a lot of hate ...

$10 on Nebraska to Win, Please
2007-07-23 18:22:00 Well, the news just officially broke as I write this, but Steve Pederson will be sticking around until 2013. If you’re driving on I-80, I recommend watching for any falling green objects. Still, I gotta say that Chancellor Harvey Perlman forced my hand on an issue I’ve been meaning to take up with ...

This is Gonna Be a Good One
2007-07-19 21:59:00 MidWest Coasters, I can honestly say that in the heat of July, I was not anticipating a podcast of this quality nor quantity as we decided to go for the former rather than the latter, however, you can expect the following this weekend: - Further insight and theory as to why Mizzou is picked almost unanimously #1 ...

Here?s to You, Mr. Robinson
2007-07-17 17:10:00 There’s been a litany of activity surrounding the now “free agent” Trevor Robin son (at least in my eyes and those of certain recruiting services). First people looked at him as a decommitment, then a “soft” commitment, then again as a decommitment headed to Notre Dame or Michigan, then Notre Dame and now…well, let’s ...

The Two for One Special
2007-07-16 00:05:00 As consumers, I think we all enjoy the “two for one special” whatever it may be. When a store wants to get rid of inventory, I’m more than happy to haul some of it away. When it comes to recruiting, however, the two for one can be a tad uneven. You ... More About: Recruiting , Special
yOU Gotta Be Kiddin? Me
2007-07-13 18:23:00 The NCAA in all of its benevolent nature handed down punishment on one of the more well-known schools in Division 1-A football and one certainly not unfamiliar with the idea of sanctions: Oklahoma. Now when the thought of punishment from a governing body like the NCAA comes into one’s mind, especially for infractions such ... More About: Gott , Kidd , Gotta

2007-07-11 00:27:00 THIS IS THE INTERNET! TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OF THE DESK AND STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD!

Resourceful: The Nebraska Way
2007-07-04 22:45:00 I was on my way down to Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha (for those of you not familiar, this is where the College World Series is held annually) for a bit of minor league baseball, bush league singing and the reason I spent money on the venture in the first place: fireworks. As we found ... More About: Nebraska

This One Time at Football Camp?
2007-06-17 01:10:00 As John is currently enjoying the blazing 90-degree heat of Iowa’s Adventureland and several thousand out-of-towners descend upon Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium for the College World Series, I have holed up in the climate-controlled hovel that I call home to relax, unwind and rest my vocal chords as interestingly enough, they gave out on Monday. ...

The Purification of Purify
2007-06-13 02:25:00 Now, I?ll be honest. When I first heard about Mo getting cited for a DUI, I was disappointed in the guy. A lot of people were, but honestly, the disappointment is the kind you get from frustration. Mo KNOWS he has first round talent and he?s right, but damn son, to ...
Mustang Power?
2007-06-08 04:16:00 The Internet and recruiting have been fused for a while now. Text messaging eventually took it to a new level and believe me, fellow recruitniks that more and more technologies are going to be manipulated for any little advantage. Such is the game of recruiting. However one thing that has constantly followed ... More About: Power , Mustang , Recruiting , Must , Tang
