    Super Official Huskers vs Hoosiers Game Week Thread

    This "Taking a DIfferent Path" business is getting old. OF COURSE, Rhule took a different path--he came to us from the NFL. Other than that, the biggest difference between the two is that it took Rhule three seasons to piece together the right coaching staff while Cignetti brought his with him...

    Comforting to see Chris back in Championship form before the Big Game! :thumbsup:

    Super Official Huskers vs Hoosiers Game Week Thread

    You can say this about any game but, to me, it'll be critical to get off to a fast start. Last year against Michigan, we had all the momentum going in and blew it--and spent the rest of the first half playing catch-up. We need to put Indiana on their heels early and force their QB to have to...

    Rhule said in today's presser that he was told by the official talking to him that the extra point was good. He said it was "on him" because he shouldn't have to reply on the refs but that's why we took the penalty on the kickoff. Michigan State was my first opportunity to see the BHF Shoutbox...

    I agree, Jim. Don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way but the two most meaningless takes about upsetting the defending national champs this Saturday are: If we win, we'll be ranked; and If we win, we'll become bowl eligible. Those are OLD fan takes for RECENT Nebraska teams. Take a...

    I shook my head and thought the same thing, Blatz. Having spent decades with our Huskers ALWAYS being ranked in the Top 25 (and usually in the top ten), the idea of those teams being ranked ahead of us when we're undefeated after FIVE games, is (to me) utterly mindboggling. (But I've gotta come...

    Not predicting (yet) it's gonna happen. But chew on THIS... Nebraska is the very definition of A TRAP GAME for the defending national champion, Indiana: Like the Huskers in 1996, the Hoosiers are on (I think) a 21 game winning streak, when they come to Lincoln. (We were on a 26 game streak...

    Thankfully, the polls don't mean diddily-squat anymore. If we take care of business, it doesn't matter what the AP thinks of us. It means even less now than it did back in 1997.

    On the premier of the show's season finale tonight, Matt Rhule made a cameo appearance playing himself and offered the QB of the Rushville Pioneers a scholarship to attend Nebraska.

    Back in Coach Leatherboot's EA Sports NCAA Football coaching days, her rants about the video game makes Bo Pelini look like a pussycat.

    THANK YOU, redfred!!! :thumbsup: I didn't hear what the TV announcers had to say, but goodness gracious, it was COMMON SENSE. How the hell did the punt only travel 24 yards if it WASN'T partially blocked??!!? It was one of THE STUPIDEST initial calls -- and an EVEN STUPIDER REVIEW -- in...

    Great story, Hunch! :thumbsup: My 'father/son' moment yesterday was in the second quarter when the Huskers were near the goal line and lined up in the I formation with a fullback. My son squeezed my shoulder and said, "Omigod, Dad--Don't have a heart attack!"

    I could be wrong but I am noticing a change of tone from our resident Hunchback this season. :)

    I don't disagree---but I think this take is ironic coming from our resident Bo Pelini. :) ;)

    I'm not a Shoutbox Captain. Sure sounded to me like YOU were a third quarter no-show. We need four quarters consistency, Uenth. We have faith in you--you can do it!!!

    Clearly, the BHF Shoutbox still has things to fix. As Righteous Red said, Championship teams have discipline. Before the season, which Scaredy Cats among us would've rather seen Northwestern and UCLA on our schedule replacing Illinois and Washington? Just goes to show, you never know.

    Yeah, I was disappointed in the crowd. That was definitely not one of our "A" games. Regarding Locksley's comment about Memorial Stadium--HuskerVision played them in the fourth quarter before a GET LOUD graphic. I thought that was pretty funny. Me too!!! It was The Play of the Game. We were...

    SECOND HALF SHUT-OUT. While it was frustrating and worrisome to see the Blackshirts give up 23 points in the first half, they pitched a shut-out in the second. Coach Aurich's second half adjustments totally shutdown Maryland’s Offense in the second half. FOURTH QUARTER DOMINANCE. One of the...
