Upset...nooooo. PISSED...HELL YEAH I'm pissed. LOL. I couldn't believe that happened. But then again...look what we did to UK with 2 seconds left on the clock earlier this season. Guess it was just our time. I'm real happy that we don't have to play UGA. They're gonna slaughter Arkansas. Funny thing is...we lost the game and we're still SEC West Co-Champs. Looks like I'll be spending New Year's in Dallas!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not happy either that we lost at the last second. But if LSU is headed to the Cotton Bowl, you're more then welcome to stay with me

yeah, i read in todays paper that solich is meeting with the coaching staff to discuss the "future" of the team and the "futures" of everyone on the staff. this was confirmed by the coach himself but he didnt comment further. even some of the players expect some "radical changes" as one player put it. so the next few weeks will be interesting for nebraska football.

Here's a link to the story. Hopefully something is done to get things back to normal...I don't think Nebraskans can handle another season of this!

Husker Story

Solich is a good coach.. Sometimes in a program things just generally fall apart. They need to retool their offense. Defenses are getting too good these days to play this pure option type offense. Throwing the ball needs to be a more important part of their game.

[chopper816]

the problem is they dont have a quarterback who can run the offense, the last "perfect fit" for nebraska at QB was tommie frazier. and dont give me eric crouch! I could break records if I hogged the ball as much as he did. I go to every home game, have since i was 5, and I even go on some road games, and as far as an overall quarterback, tommie frazier was the best fit, he could do it all. I dont think Jammal Lord is nebraskas qb next year if they want to be successful, he just cant cut it. and solich is a decent coach, but he is far from good. hes the one that calls the plays, and if you watched the colorado game, his playcalling was anything but good. hes too hard up to go to the pass, and hes admitted that. Nebraska needs balance, the days of 100 yards passing and 500 rushing are over, they need a balance, if they can run for 200 and pass for 200 a game, then youll see a husker team that can dominate. which brings me to my next point, i think nds qb carlyle holiday would work well in nebraskas offense and open up the passing game. i hope nebraska can either recruit that type of talent this year or develop it through mike stuntz or curt dukes.

[Kevin]

At any rate I'm looking forward to seeing Nebraska come down hereto Norman, OK next year

[chopper816]

it wont be pretty unless they get back on track, but they have a long way to go.

I think i could solve nebraskas offensive woes. i would bring back floridas fun n gun offense for the huskers. you gotta admit, that would throw off every defensive coordinator in the country if you saw a husker qb in the shotgun with no running back and 5 receivers, i dont think theyd know what to do with themselves!!!

[Kevin]

And as you've seen lately the Sooners are having a hell of a time defending long passes. I guess you really can't fault the Huskers too much. OU had problems with the some of the same teams at their houses also. I'm looking forward to ya'll coming down here though. If Oklahoma does one thing well it's playing at home.

Firebrick and burlywood?? LOLOL...Clearly garnet and gold, why does GC make things so complicated?

In any event, ladybug we whooped some gator arse! And IowaHawkeye, Maybe we will play Y'ALL!!! Then we will see what is what!

Read in the Boston Globe this morning that there's a pretty good possibility that the Orange Bowl would invite Iowa to play Florida State. That would raise some interesting problems, in that the Rose Bowl should have dibs on the Big Ten champs.

Either way, hopefully USC doesn't get screwed over - they've had a hell of a year.

Also....did anyone else notice that Uconn finished up at .500...they beat an Iowa State team on a huge downturn, but I'm pretty happy they ended up .500.

I heard the exact same thing - and let me tell you, Iowa City is NOT happy about it. The Rose Bowl is the Bowl of all Bowls to go to for a Big 10 team - we want our shot at it.

The deal is - if WSU wins this coming weekend AND USC jumps Iowa and lands at #4 in the BCS (b/c of OU's loss) they are gauranteed an at-large bid as a nonconference champ in the top 4. The only other at-large bid would go to either Iowa or ND (even though ND blows - they bring a lot of money)

So the Orange Bowl has a few options if Miami wins out and he OB gets 1st pick of at-large teams. Do they

1.) sacrifice legitimacy by pasing up #4 USC and #5 Iowa for a big money maker in #10+ Notre Dame?
2.) Pick USC and possibly lose profits b/c USC doesn't travel as well as ND or Iowa - plus USC is in sunny California, where they have their own beaches. Iowa and ND are in the cold midwest, they would make a vacation out of a Bowl game in Florida
3.) Pick IOWA - getting a legit team that is in the BCS top 5, has fans that travel well and will put asses in seats and leaving the Rose Bowl basically screwed.

It's a tough call. Any way you slice it - either Iowa, USC or ND will be left out of the BCS bowls this year. Records and rankings indicate it SHOULD be Notre Dame.

You know, the BCS passed up any credibility a long time ago.

FSU doesn't deserve the whogivesacrap.com bowl, much less a BCS bowl!

I can't even get started on my rant.

The ND game finally showed our doubters what we've known in SoCal all season-- that USC's team is one of the best and strongest in the nation.

Notre Dame DOES NOT DESERVE a BCS bid.
4 -1st downs to USCs 31.
NO OFFENSIVE TDs
109 yards to USCs 610?

USC and Iowa deserve the bids.

But USCs best chance is for Wazzou to lose to UCLA this weekend.

The BCS sucks.

haha, you are too funny . F(forever)S(shitty)U does deserve the whogivesacrap.com bowl...

this whole BCS garbage needs some tweeking. If your team is not in the Top 10 and youre a conference champ - too bad so sad no automatic bid for you! A team that deserves it should get it.

[DeltAlum]

The only problem I have with BCS is the "C" between the two operative letters.

The ratings are a joke.
