Oh, i'm not overlooking them.........I just think they are going to lose 2 - 3 games. I think they were better last year by far.

Well I'm an ASU grad so I should support them, but after what the coach just pulled, I'm hoping they lose this year (sad as that sounds).

Since I went to U of A for a short time, maybe I'll support them this year. LOL.

From the home of the original White Out and Zombie Bounce:

PSU isn't going to go 11-1 again this year but I'm telling you, last year wasn't a fluke. 9-3, 10-2 is very possible this year with a New Year's Day bowl.

WE ARE PENN STATE

We also lost the game. Badly.

Great tradition there.

Well, while the Carpenter/Keller/Koetter thing was certainly weird, my Huskers immediately become much better for 2007, so I'm glad it happened. What sort of things do you know about what happened?

Basically nothing. A bunch of hearsay and BS. From what I understand Koetter announced he chose Keller as starting QB. Then supposedly there was this meeting with 19 of the players and I guess these 19 claimed they weren't "happy" with the decision of Keller being the starter. So from the sounds of it Koetter decided to make those 19 players "happy" by booting Keller to the curb and having Carpenter be starting QB.

It was such a big deal for a couple of days. But that was all any could gather. They did pass along that if Keller chose to go to a Division 1 school he had to sit out for a year or he could chose to go to a Division 2 school and immediately start playing.

My whole issue with it was the Koetter chose Keller first. He should have kept Keller as his starter and next season given the position to Carpenter. The way Koetter did this was just so backhanded. It seriously made me think that Koetter just "stabbed" Keller in the back. I lost a lot of respect for Koetter with this situation.

I watched and interview with Carpenter and wasn't impressed with him at all. He was like (and I'm totally paraphrasing basically what he was saying) "oh well, I don't want us (ASU) to go to the Insight Bowl again, we should be going to the Rose Bowl". I was like OMG are you kidding me. He sounded like an arrogant ass. But then again, ASU has totally jinxed themselves in my book. They are walking around being like "oh we made the Rose Bowl in 1986 and then in 1996, this is our year to go again". The moment they start "assuming" the team is unbeatable and that they will make it to the Rose Bowl is the moment they don't. But they (ASU football) is going on this assumption that they make it to the Rose Bowl every 10 years. Hell, they have even put up a billboard, right of I-17 saying ASU & Rose Bowl (which made absolutely no sense to me the first time I saw it since the Rose Bowl is played in Pasadena, but now that I know the 10 year thing, I get it).

Yeah, well the sitting out a year is a NCAA requirement. We're more than happy to have Keller in Nebraska, b/c he's just going to redshirt this season, and then compete for (and more than likely win) the starting spot for us next year. It works out well for Keller b/c he gets to work with former NFL coaches in an NFL system and we get a proven arm.

My favorite picture from yesterday:

D-IAA Montana State 19
Colorado Buffaloes 10

Oh yeah, did I mention the Sea of Red once again has come alive, this time the largest ever crowd with an announced attendence of 85,181 to watch the 49-10 dismantling of Louisiana Tech? The Huskers finished the game with 584 yards of total offense, including the first time Nebraska has had over 250 yards of rushing AND passing since 1996. QB Zac Taylor finished 22 for 33 passing with 287 passing yards and 3 touchdowns, and the Huskers were also made 11 of 16 third-down conversions.

BIG RED IS BACK!

You're bad at sports.

There is MUCH more public information on this issue than you've posted; I know more, and I live in Iowa.

Keller is a retard.
