How about them Huskers and Gophers?

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

With little success and firing a popular guy like Solich, Petersen kind of set up his own departure. He did not see it that way.

Bo Pelini's name came up when Solich was fired, so thats not a new name at all. I dont know much about him, but if the Husker fans are high on him he must have something going for him. Also Craig Bohl was kind of a sacrificial lamb just before Solich was fired. I heard rumors about that should not be posted on any message board. Since the Bison fans are worried about hanging on to Bohl, they might have another reason to worry if Callahan is released and some of the Old Guard of coaches returns to Lincoln to bob for corn cobs in the toilet bowl. (That seems to be the current state of the program). The last time they were 4-3 was before Devaney. A long time ago.

I don't see Solich coming back as he is at least 65 and has not been that big of bang at Ohio U.

I kind of enjoy this misery in Lincoln, especially after living there 20 years and never could find a ticket to go a game. Those who did have tickets tried to make you feel very left out and that somehow that 80 dollar piece of paper gave them a climpse of heaven. Hell it was a nose bleed view of a football game. I will take CAS any day of the week.

Maybe UNL needs to start fresh with new people AD down to waterboy. Stay away from the old cronies and has beens. Tom Osborne could not win the primary for governor, so how could he win at football now?

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

Was on the huskers fan board and there was a lot of talk about Callahan being out after the Texas game and that he has already told the players. None of it substantiated but that's what they are saying.

Bo Pelini is probably their next coach of choice.

It's ugly in Husker Nation right now!

How far is Callahan behind him? Should we set up an office pool.

I could be wrong, but I think you fire the AD early so you can hire (hopefully a former legend of a coach) an interim AD to start the search for a new head coach. I think Callahan will be gone within a few minutes following a loss at Colorado.

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

What is going on with the Huskers? I had several friends that went to the game. They should be back early by the looks of the stands. Things are not good in the Husker Nation...

I think one thing that is hurting the Iowa schools, Minnesota, and Nebraska is the rise of football programs by NDSU, SDSU, and Northern Iowa.

Just between NDSU and SDSU there have been 54 DI scholarships added in the last 3 years. Obviously not all of these players are FBS talent and not all are from this region, but that is alot of players that may have either been scholarship or walk on players at these schools that they weren't able to get because they were offered schollies and a chance to play at another school. Just look at SDSU's roster at how many kids from Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska there are. Now with USD and UND adding scholarships as well it could make it even tougher on the surrounding FBS schools.

Even if each FCS school takes just one starter/two deep player from each state it adds up quickly and is one less talented player on the bigger schools depth chart. Could be tough for Nebraska to ever compete for a national title again unless they can get more recruits from more populated states, there just isn't enough talent to go around up here.

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

Think Callahan could take some cues from Gandy on his post game press conference. Except I don't think he's going to have to tell media and fans to come after him.

The noose is definitely tightening around the AD's neck in Lincoln

The Huskers got their butts handed to them by Ok State. Husker fans were leaving at halftime.

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

uk is already off to a 5-0 start and can make it 6-0 after tonight if they beat south carolina. If they can some how beat lsu and florida they can be number one. usf has a few though games too but can could be in the top 5 at the end of the year too. oh ya hawaii should be considered for a major bowl game as well. i'll be at cubbies watching uk game tonight so hope to see ya down there bluehat!

Re: How about them Huskers and Gophers?

Anything is possible come bowl time...well except for the Gophers winning a bowl game.

Those Huskers did the same thing to a lot of teams over a pretty long stretch of years!

Hardly a fluke!
