My ex's dad is a huge Husker, but I've always enjoyed talking football with him, he really kNows his stuff, unlike most of the rest of the Sea of Red I know.

I had never had too much of a problem with 'em until I heard about fans telling the players last season they had to "take that N off your helmet, you don't deserve it!". That is about as low as you can get, it's just despicable.

The $95 tickets were from a broker in Omaha, Ticket Express. They agreed that $95 was a bit outrageous, but that people were also willing to pay it, so that became the going rate.

I don't think it bodes well for Nebraska's defense that Cody Glen has already ascended to starting OLB. I mean, the guy has been playing LB for oh, about three weeks now. On the other side is a Sr. walkon who has about 9 career tackles. And I thought they couldn't stop anyone last year.

On offense, the only talent that appears to remain is at RB in Lucky, Helu and Castille. Unfortunately, no one on the OL can seem to open any holes for these guys. Ganz sure won't scare anyone at QB, especially since they lost Purify, Hardy, Swift and Nunn at WR.

There definitely seems to be a distinct lack of talent in Lincoln this year, which should lead to a long season for Husker fans. My guess is they will turn on Shawn Watson at some point early in the season as the offense sputters, as he is a remant of the old regime. After all, nothing could be Bo's fault, he's the savior. Anyone remember hearing that about Callahan 5 years ago?

the other day i was in our local convenience store where the locals all come to chat up this and that...anyway, a husker fan that i know was in there along with a lot of cyclone and eiu fans. i looked at my husker friend and said 'hey, did you hear that 80,000 fans paid and watched the huskers' spring game and still saw nothing!?!' everybody was laughing about as loud as they could and all the husker fan could do was put his head down and said 'yeah'
