3:30 EST Games.......emotions are starting to run high

"This is the worst game I have ever scene.....Christ"


"Do we even practice football?"


"BLOW UP THIS MUTHA F***ING PROGRAM!!!! Undisciplined, suckass football for 10 f'ing years."


"The defense can only clean you up after you shat the bed so many times."


"Somebody needs to rip that ****ing Denny's menu out of Sherm's hand so he can focus on the *******ed game."


"Am I horrible to secretly hope that JJ sustained a minor injury on that last play and needs to sit out the rest of the game???"

"cant throw 2 redzone ints and win...game over"


"Our kicking game is absof**inglutely horrendous.Why do we continue to try"


"we have a bunch of soft kids on defense. too weak."


"will michigan ever go back to a 4-3 defense?"


"yep, feelers need to be going out to Harbaugh ASAP"


"getting out-coached in every way imagineable. "


"THEY ARE TOO SMALL.  THAT IS ON WHOEVER RECRUITED THEM.  WHO MIGHT THAT BE?"

"Either way it goes, this won't be over until Atlanta"

"Doesnt matter much if we answer, if we cant hold them."

"Our early 2nd half momentum is gone."

"Gary just tweeted that McElroy nearly got into a fight with Ingram just now"

"outcoached, outplayed, flat, tired, maybe thought all they had to do is show up, who knows"

"That drive was probably the killer. Couldn't let that happen....."

Do Baptists even get upset?

Job 4:9 By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of his anger are they consumed. 

"Norwood is actually wearing a pink slip over his panties. Hope he's handed one on his way down from the press box."

"Srewed royally!!! Out of one last play! It would have been a long shot but it still sucks to see the whornes and ou continue to get the correct calls yet we can't even get an obvious late hit or the correct time called."

"Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic!!!"

"Bad fundamentals, worse scheme. Fire him TODAY. It literally could not get any worse. 10 possessions, 8 scores, 7 touchdowns. He's ****ing clueless."

"This isn't the grind-it-out Big 10, learn how to defend a legit spread offense."

"Gross incompetence. Top to bottom through the final minutes"

"HORRIBLE clock management, and who the F*** is coaching our wideouts? "

"A valiant comeback and the worst 2 minute offense I've ever seen.."

"The problem with Briles coached teams is that all the best athletes always go over to the offensive side of the ball. That's why his defenses always suck, while his offense fares pretty well. It's pointless to blame Norwood because he can only do so much with the Crayon box he is given. There simply aren't enough colors to mesh a good defense together."

"The loss is on you AB, pure and simple. RG3 gave it all he had and thanks to the pot-smoker and the rest of our pathetic team we have another moral victory. Sic 'em 4-8 season guys."

"Any way you slice it, Norwood's defense gave away that game. The guy needs to be fired yesterday. I have never seen such a defensive disaster. Once again we lose to a Tech team we have no business losing to. Can't stomach it anymore."

PSU..........horrible

Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits.

Robert Louis Stevenson 

"If the head coach at UGA can be in trouble for losing conference games ... so should Joe."

"This team is physically weak - that is why we are having so many injuries, and why we can't get any sacks on defense, and why we don't have an inside running game on offense. Stop turning a blind eye to obvious problems."

"Those close to Joe are financially tied to him too so you can forget that one. Paychecks and status trump what is right for the team/school and have been since the mid 90's."

"Like any TV show, when the entertainment becomes a bad product people stop watching, and revenues dry up. Players go elsewhere. It will be very interesting to watch STEP get implemented after a really bad year, which this is likely to become."

"we'll lose to OSU and probably Michigan, but we'll beat Indy, NW and Minny even with average performances. The bye week will help. Don't get me wrong: we suck."

"Don't you still need 6 wins to go to a bowl game? I am struggling to find 3 more wins on the schedule."

"It doesn't matter what anyone's expectations were or why we're bad. The question is "was that the worst loss of the Big Ten era when taking into account the quality of the performance and opposition?""

"I've been watching PSU for the past 4 weeks (1 month) and have seen 2 touchdowns). I hate to admit it but I'm actually flying up from Palm Coast for the Northwestern game in a few weeks. "

"All these big time OL recruits and we don't have anybody that can block worth a shi*."

"That was a humiliating beat down...where is PSU Football ?"

"PATHETIC"

"Anyone who witnessed Bama, Temple, and Iowa can't be shocked with this. Disappointed absolutely, but not shocked. A housecleaning is long overdue. Joe is pouring gasoline on his legacy."

"Is it itme to fire, I mean give the staff the diginity to resign?? Of course, we can't ruin JayPa's HC opportinities."

Tennessee misery for you and me

Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.

"nothing seems bright in light of today"


"We aren't very good right now. This is hard for us to swallow. We hurt because of years of poor recruiting, coaching changes, player attrition, and instability. We are all true fans and love our Vols, but damn it hurts loosing like this because of our pride."


"looked like a bunch of JV highschoolers out there today!"


"Hell of a performance by the coaching staff today. I was told by many posters in the offseason to give Dooley a chance. I'm giving him a chance and so far, what I've seen has been extremely pathetic."


"could we actually be a 2 win team this year?"


""Dooley's already had a player "he recruited" arrested. The same couldn't have been said about Kiffin at this time last year."


"You do know we just got embarrassed by a team that couldn't beat Colorado, don't you?"


"Dooley is on pace to be out in 2 years. He has not shown anything coaching-wise in 6 games. It is dumb play after dumb play with terrible fundamentals."


"The only positive thing about this, is we're off next week."


"I'm not great at reading lips, but did he just say "Thank you for beating the ever-loving **** out of us"?"


"I gotta say, the post game music that UGA's band plays is a wee bit over the top after beating this Tennessee team."


"vandy could've beatin us today"


"I was ridiculously lableled a "quitter" by one of our more obnoxious posters here at VN today because during the 1st Qtr, after watching us spot UGA 17 points I had the audacity to suggest that the game was over... Anyone who watched today's debacle and isn't satisfied with the way things turned out can now, in the words of the aforementioned poster, consider themselves a "quitter"..."


"our AD is already scared of UNC. Miami and FSU and Clemson and Virginia Tech would murder this team. NC State would beat them more times than not. There might be a shot at middle of the pack in the Big East. A bad SEC team just destroyed us. This team is not good. In the future, of course we'd be competitive in those worthless leagues."


"who gives a flippin f*** anymore"

WTF?!? Late 2nd Qtr: ULL 21 - Okie State 17

“If there's one cultural quality we have, it's that we always see ourselves as an underdog.”

Bill Gates "Our defense is terrible. Its pathetic" "We are in touble and not just tonight but the rest of the season." "At this point why am I not surprised we are grossly underprepaired to play and flat against a crappy team on the road..." "If these refs weren't the worst I've seen in some time, we're rolling. Both sides of the ball, the refs have been pathetic. Hold them here, adjust at halftime and put them in their place." "1-4 UGA beat them 55-7 without their best player." "Most on this board were comfortable with the way this defense played the first 4 games.  How do you really feel now" "And we just got picked off. Again. They've got the crowd, and the offense, and the momentum and we've got what? Not a damn thing. Game over." "My hope for the rest of this season is quickly being flushed down the toilet. Terrible, terrible half. OSU better pull their head out or this is going to be Troy 2007 all over again. It would be a HUGE set back to this season and the program as a whole to lose this game." "if we lose this game it will be a looong season, if we win the game its going to be a looong season....." "Absolutely disgusting." "The good news is that most people probably won't recognize us in these uniforms." "I have walked away from the TV and don't know if I have the energy to come back..."

THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY WORK AVOIDANCE MESSAGE BOARD PREVIEW SEXPLOSION

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance

"I wont be able to stand a loss.
We should win but you never know..they can score quick and they are at home."

"Now this is funny. A transvestite from Iowa asking Michigan STate if they are scared of Dirt Ball and his squad of slot receivers."

"The 3-3-5 is a joke and will be lucky holding MSU to under 250 rushing and 300 passing."

"Everyone makes fun of the Michigan Mickey Mouse offense and the Big East defense that they put on the field, but very few people have complained about Rodriguez's character. Don't get me wrong, the gimmick offense and defense has allowed Michigan State to out recruit Mich for the last 3 years, so I'm not upset with the situation."

"Spartans 48 Wolverines 42: I see both offenses doing ver well against each defense. But Michigan State can kick field goals, I'm not sure Michigan can kick any beyond 30 yards."

"I would love to see Denard go off and shut up all idiot naysayers who are still claiming that his big stats are due to us playing all crappy defenses so far."

"You do understand that in 21 trips to the red zone, Michigan has only failed twice to score TDs, right? (19 TDs, 1 FG).  You would have been better off choosing the stops anywhere else on the field IMO.  Expecting to stop a team in the red zone when they've scored TDs on 91% of their RZ trips is a little out there"

"38-35 Somebody"

"Screw logic. The team makes a statement on Saturday.  They have heard the press, the critiques, the stupidity from so called experts. They stand up for their coach, for themselves, and for the University of Michigan and lay the freaking wood on Lil brother this weekend."

"I've been hearing things all over the social networking and the the spartina board about how much they hope that Denard gets hurt and how "Pride comes before the fall".  My big thing was a post of a question on the Spartina board by one of our guys asking how much do THEY think DRob will put up on them, and then answers being totally ridiculous because they don't want to admit that we have a above freaking average quarterback?"

"South Carolinians are easy to spot because the Palmetto tree is prominently displayed on their person or their belongings. As such, they are like Canadians with their maple leaf. And who can really hate a Canadian?"

"A Spurior coached team always makes me nervous. It seems that since he left UF with all of that talent, he often manages to make a Miles and cost his team."

"I see a very comfortable win - 28 to 7, or something similar. We will completely rattle Garcia/Shaw. If Penn State, Arkansas, and Florida each threw 3 INTs, I imagine we'll have at least 2 in this game."

"Bama 48-3! Maybe even a big doughnut hole for USCe."

"All I can say is I wouldn't want to be USC this week after CNS finishes chewing out the team from the second half performance the offense had shown. I would expect the team this week to score all 4 qtrs. This could be ugly for USC."

"I do know SC has more talent than we've ever had, and we are still very young. I know last year has no real bearing on this year, but I think you saw last year that we can compete with Bama. Can we win, yes."

"Another freakin' joke, Saban and his team can bring all their arrogance and cockiness in here and get checked into Heartbreak Hotel...Javier Arenas was the biggest loudmouth of all, though he was Pac-Man Jones or Primetime Sanders...He can't even hold Devin Hester's jock."

"Bama hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 39 straight games. I sure didn't need to hear that this morning."

"just hope our yutes whip their yutes"

"All the pressure is on Bamers. The Cock WR's will dominate the green Bama CB's. 28-17 Cocks"

"does anyone else find it fishy that Gameday will be in Columbia, SC this week for the #1 Tide vs. #19 Gamecocks game (on CBS BTW) and completely ignored the game between TWO TOP 10 teams in Fayetteville?"

"Most I've heard now say we are the 2nd best team in the SEC.    We need to live up to that hype and take care of TAMU in a big way."

"Over on TexAgs, They are becoming rather confident in beating the Hogs.  One posted a link to a CBS Sportsline writer picking the Ags, not the spread but straight up. Reality will be harsh tomorrow about 5:30."

"All of us, including Simon and Garfunkel, know that the Aggies are going to beat us so bad there's a pall in the air.  Kind of like the quiet before a mortician does his grim task.  It's a terrible thing.  I can smell the embalming fluid now."

"I've seen speculation, on other boards, that the point spread is reacting to "insider" information of an injury to a key (unnamed) player. Another "insider" reported a fight between two players that may indicate dissension that coaches are unable to control."

"National Spotlight

Chance to turn things around for the program
Good opponent
Few clear advantages for opposing team
I think we are probably 0-40 in games like this."

"tickets are extremely expensive, and we're in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Oh, and the likelihood of the Aggies winning the game is slim."

"Razorbacks 48

Aggies 10
Do I have to say that I hope I'm wrong? Their defense is going to eat our lunch. Mallett will pick us apart."

"Mallet gets down right flustered when he gets the slightest pressure. It's almost as if he gets both rattled and angry/subborn compounding his mistakes by forcing throws. He gets over-confident in his abilities which leads to INTs"

"So Lame Pathetic Disappointing Posts are giant angry prunes and Insightful Entertaining Posts are giant elated Benadryl tablets?"

Some other Big 12 fanbases weigh in on NU's thumping of KSU

"Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts. It shows where people's hearts lie."
Paul Scott

"seeing the Pellinis standing next to each other, spitting, and generally exhibiting repulsive bahavior, is disgusting"      

"we are going to get prison raped on national television next Sat."       

"So Martinez finishes his night 15 for 241 on the ground. Damn."

"Carl Pelini needs to invest in a Gillette Mach 5 razor."

"Taylor Martinez must be a Mexican of West African descent."

"I don't think we can stop Mexican Jesus."

"Hopefully we watch the south dakota state game films"

"just a few years ago they were horrible, before Pellini came in and turned them around.

It seems like it only took about a year and a half and they were back to the top of the north division.
Pellini is a defensive minded coach, great coordinator, but many said he couldn't recruit.
My question is this:
How has NU turned around their program in such a short period of time? Was it Coaching? Was it recruiting? Was the "cupboard not bare" as some say it was here when Fran left?"

"They didn't hire Sherman."

"I'd be surprised if Texas comes within 10 points of these guys next week."

"martinez has changed that offense. plug zach lee in and they suck again."

"It would be interesting to understand how the beer-gutted swing votes donors in Husker-land meddled with the Osborne-Solich-Callahan-Pellini cycle. I am guessing they made better decisions than our beer-gutted big cigar swing votes. "

"We lost to KSU by 50 last year. Neb has turned the corner , did so last year in the middle stretch, and are headed for championships just like their quarterback does when he turns the corner."

."Yo Bo! Kick sexat's AZZ!!"

"I really like Bo but I bet Texas beats them..."

"I don't know about that. Gilbert Grape is going to have a very long afternoon against that defense. Mack better supercharge his clapper for this one."

"**** the mother ****ing bugeaters!!! **** Bo, **** their QB, and **** their big headed, easy schedule loving, know nothing jackass fans!!!"

48-13: The KSU dyslogy I was too drunk to post last night

Give up all bad qualities in you, banish the ego and develop the spirit of surrender. You will then experience Bliss.”
 -  Sri Sathya Sai Baba 

"Pelini is breaking it off inside of us...with that last play action pass TD to make it 38-6.  That was his personal F-you to Snyder.  Hate to say it, hated to see it but he's lubing up his corncob and sticking it deep inside us."

"STFU already.  We have eleven guys on the fied.  It is their job to stop NU, not the NU coaching staff.  Run it up.  If our defense doesn't want to give up points, step up and play better."

"I'm not busting on Pelini for his play-calling, just pointing out that based on his "little girl" act at the end of the 2003 game, you know payback was on his mind tonight if he had the opportunity and he had it, and he took it. I'm fine with all of it. Just making a statement. The real difference is you won't hear Snyder say boo about it because he has class and Pelini is a redneck little girl, a darn good defensive coach, but a redneck little girl nonetheless."

"HCBS has more class in one fingernail than Bo has in his entire body."

"We ran into a difference maker in Martinez.....he was a trememdous get for Nebraska and deserves all the accolades for his efforts. We won't see another like him for the rest of the season...I hate it as much as the rest of my purple comrades but he is the real deal."

"dont talk **** before the games, for karma is a b#tch"

"Our student section blows.... not all of it mind you but there's NO REASON IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HALF EMPTY BY THE MIDDLE OF THE 3RD QUARTER."

"The bend but dont break D, broke. You cant give up 5 rushing td's >35 yds on virtually the same play. Hell they weren't even bending. And winning theTOP means nothing without a serviceable D."

"Daniel Thomas didn't show me anything.  If you want to be a good rb you need to play good vs good defesnes and make plays."

"KSU doesn't have the talent and they don't have the coaching.  Snyder wqas a great coach and tactician....in his day.  The day when he was younger and more fresh.  The days when KSU had a monopoly on Juco recruiting and transfers but not now.  Snyder isn't good enough to make it on an even playing field like it, the advantages he had are gone.He also hit the money pot with one of the best staffs in the history of the game."

"We got our asses handed to us. If we wanna point fingers and call names, everyone, KSU and NU fans alike, should point to Chris Cosh and realize that he is burnt toast with moldy butter. Nu fans....go ahead and laugh until your gut hurts at Cosh. Nebraska scored 6 TD's on the same play."

"I feel very bad for our team....but it's like men playing boys. This Nebraska QB appears to be able to beat us running backwards. Where do they find these guys and how come we can't?"

"The part that kills me is how easy it is to blame anybody on the team for the lose. Heres the real scoup. We are young right now. Wait till next year when a QB and awesome defense comes back for some powercat D. I figure with those red dykes gone were going to easily win our division hands down next year."

"Two weeks for our defense to prepare for Martinez, and this is what we get?  Cosh deserves to get the axe IMO."

"We still have no QB.  Sorry, but Carson is NOT a D-1 QB.  Any ball he passes beyond 10 yards is a whobbly up for grabs pass.  He should have been picked off at least 2 more times."

"Nothing new in the playbook Bill?  besides off tackle, off tackle, off tackle, off tackle, off tackle, off tackle, off tackle..........   Nice job of making the Pelini's look like defensive geniuses.   The world knew exacting what our offense was going to do, and STILL no surprises."

"And oh, BTW Nebraska still SUCKS!  Congrats on your win.  Now leave Manhattan forever!   Thank Gawd!  "

"But the defense? I want to cry. I (sadly) expected the Fuskers to beat us by a couple touchdowns...but not like that. I thought they'd put together 10 plays to drive the field and score. That was shameful."

"Not to be a jerk, but that sounds like the same excuse I've heard the last several years.  I know you can't teach speed, but you can teach how to put them in better position, so they aren't making the same mistakes multiple times."

"I have never understood going to other fan sites to talk the moronic trash like husqueer fans do. No other team in the conference has fans like you, seriously. 

Were all of you abandoned at childhood? That can be the only explanation."

" I hear the showers in K state are called -- Geppitoes Corner"
"You need to go to bed. You are not a Husker Fan. You're either a douchebag, or a Texas fan. Probably both."
