Nebraska vs. Kansas State game thread

[Sam Hall]

Here we go. I'm listening via the Internet.

[Bowser]

It's the Josh Freeman Bowl.

[TrickyNicky]

Its so rediculous that I live in Manhattan and they don't broadcast it on free tv...

[Sam Hall]

I'm still bitter one of the networks didn't pick up the game.

[Sam Hall]

Kickoff is about 15 minutes away...

[Kerberos]

Its so rediculous that I live in Manhattan and they don't broadcast it on free tv...


Yea I noticed that they have it on PPV for $29.99

That ****ing sucks. :cuss:


We live in the area and pay taxes for the state college but we gotta pay to watch the goddamn game on TV. :shake:

This is all Skip's fault because he is the cable guy.

Dammit Skip. :cuss:

:D


.

[Kerberos]

Here we go. I'm listening via the Internet.


Link to broadcast?

[Sam Hall]

Link to broadcast?

It's in the radio section at Huskers.com.
I bet the game is also on 810whb.com.

[Sam Hall]

NU will get the ball first.

[Sam Hall]

Brandon Jackson broke away for 49 yards.
NU is in the redzone.

[Bugeater]

Looks like we're going to settle for a field goal.

Grrr..

[Bugeater]

GREAT FAKE FG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sam Hall]

Looks like we're going to settle for a field goal.

Grrr..

Man, I love it when we try a fake punt or field goal :)

[Sam Hall]

Looks like we're going to settle for a field goal.

Grrr..

I'm glad you're here to help me follow the game.

[Sam Hall]

Bugeater, are you watching on pay-per-view?

[Bugeater]

Nice return to the 35 for KSU.

Yes I am, Sam.

[Sam Hall]

Alright Freeman, show us what ya got.

[Bugeater]

3 and out KSU

[Sam Hall]

Time to put 14 points between us and the Mildcats.

[Bugeater]

FUMBLE!!!!


Luckily NU recovers.

[Bugeater]

Huge 3rd down conversion. Huskers at the KSU 32

[Sam Hall]

We're getting it down on third down.
Need to do better on first and second down.

[Bugeater]

If this punt goes in the end zone I'm going to be pissed.

[Eleazar]

let's go mildcats.... :Lin:

[Bugeater]

OK that worked out well, KSU takes over at their own 2 yd line.

[Sam Hall]

OK that worked out well, KSU takes over at their own 2 yd line.

There must be a radio delay. You're posting before the radio announcers make the call.

[Bugeater]

I type really fast.

[Bugeater]

4th down, KSU has to punt out of their end zone.

[Bugeater]

NOW KSU DOES THE FAKE!

[Bugeater]

KSU's offense is going nowhere.

[Sam Hall]

Didn't see that coming :banghead:

[BigOlChiefsfan]

KSU w/3rd and 13

[Bugeater]

3rd & 13 from the NU 40.

[Bugeater]

Did not get it.

[Sam Hall]

Suh is going to be a good one.

[Bugeater]

Punt goes in the end zone, NU takes over at their own 20.

[Bugeater]

16 yd pass to Swift

[Sam Hall]

Blackshirts are getting it done. Freeman has done nothing.

[Bugeater]

End of 1st qtr

[Bugeater]

Blackshirts are getting it done. Freeman has done nothing.
KSU looks tough up front on D, as expected.

In other news, Baylor is up on UT 10-0 in the 1st qtr.

[Sam Hall]

KSU looks tough up front on D, as expected.

In other news, Baylor is up on UT 10-0 in the 1st qtr.

UT comes to Lincoln next week.

[Sam Hall]

Brandon Jackson is having the game of his career :clap:

[Bugeater]

I'm well aware of that. I'll be at the CP bash at Nzoner's. I'm sure I'll be taking all kinds of crap.

[Bugeater]

1st and goal NU.

[Bugeater]

TD Nebraska!!!!!!!

[Sam Hall]

Helluva play call on 4th down

[Sam Hall]

I'm disappointed CU finally won.

[Sam Hall]

It seems like the Blackshirts are getting plenty of pressure on Freeman.

[Bugeater]

KSU 0-3 on 3rd down

[Sam Hall]

This is exactly what I wanted to see.

[Bugeater]

I'm disappointed CU finally won.
Who did they beat? I was working all afternoon.

[Bugeater]

NU takes over on own 44

[Bugeater]

Lucky that wasn't an INT

[Sam Hall]

Who did they beat? I was working all afternoon.

Texas Tech. I'm going to the NU/CU game. Looking forward to the beatdown.

[Sam Hall]

Where are all the Kansas State fans ROFL

[Bugeater]

We've already exceeded the 13 pts Saul predicted we'd get.

[Bugeater]

NU has to punt, KSU takes over at their own 17

[Bugeater]

Sam, you're going to have to keep everyone filled in while I eat my tacos.

[Sam Hall]

Freeman finally completes a pass. First down KSU

[Sam Hall]

3rd and short for KSU.
Sounds like they got it.

[Sam Hall]

I stand corrected. 4th and an inch for KSU. They're going for it, and got it.

[Sam Hall]

KSU is trying a lot of play-action to help Freeman.

[Bugeater]

Where are all the Kansas State fans ROFL
There's really not that many on CP, they're probably hiding out at ksufans.com.

[Sam Hall]

3rd and 8 for the Wildcats near midfield.

[Bugeater]

Little scare on fielding the punt by Nunn.

[Sam Hall]

There's really not that many on CP, they're probably hiding out at ksufans.com.

I don't see our friends, Saul and William.

[Bugeater]

I don't see our friends, Saul and William.
They've been fairly quiet all week. KSU now 0/6 on 3rd downs.

[Bugeater]

UT now up on Baylor 21-10, nothing to see there.

[Bugeater]

NU has to punt again, KSU takes over at their own 15

[Bugeater]

Nice 15 yd pass by Freeman.

[Bugeater]

Too bad there's only :07 left in the half.

[Bugeater]

Another long pass completion by KSU, down to NU 35

[Bugeater]

with :02 left KSU to try a FG.

[Sam Hall]

I'll be back before the 3rd quarter starts.

[Bugeater]

FG no good, end of 1st half.

[Bugeater]

Damn, burned on a shovel pass.

[Bugeater]

Corey McKeon down, that's not good.

[Sam Hall]

KSU has the ball on their 41. 3rd and 10.
LB McKeon is hurt, favoring his left ankle. Another injury at linebacker :mad:

[OldTownChief]

Here we go. I'm listening via the Internet.


Link?

[Sam Hall]

Link?

I'm listening at Huskers.com.
Check the KSU school site or 810whb.com

[Bugeater]

Huskers.com

[Bugeater]

NU takes over at own 18

[Bugeater]

Brandon Jackson just got bull rushed.

[Sam Hall]

KSU defense has played well since the first quarter.

[Bugeater]

Taylor goes down, no call on the facemask, as usual.

[OldTownChief]

http://www.huskers.com/liveEvents/audioWebcasts.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100

[Bugeater]

KSU defense has played well since the first quarter.
I knew they were going to give us trouble, we were lucky to get that quick 14 pts on them.

[Sam Hall]

Josh Freeman, meet the Blackshirt defensive ends :p

[Bugeater]

Oh come on, Purify was down.

[Sam Hall]

NU radio reported McKeon has a sprained ankle.
His return is questionable.

[Bugeater]

Ground can't cause a fumble.

[Bugeater]

They'd better ****ing overturn this.

[Bugeater]

*JEOPARDY MUSIC PLAYING*

[Bugeater]

Good, they got it right. NU ball, 1st down at KSU 37

[Bugeater]

Wow great run by Lucky, TD Nebraska!

[Sam Hall]

Breaking News: Mo Purify needs more touches.

Nice TD run by Marlon Lucky.

[Bugeater]

No kidding, that was a ridiculous catch by Purify.

[Sam Hall]

3rd and 3 for the Wildcats

[Sam Hall]

KSU is running safe plays to give Freeman more confidence.

[Bugeater]

Freeman seems to be getting into a groove, we need to put a stop to that.

[Coach]

K-State needs a new offensive coordinator.

If Freeman can run at 4.6 and Patton at the 4.4 range, there should be some option plays for K-State. Unfortunately, they don't have any.

It looks like K-State hired Paul Hackett, because their offense is so damned predictable.

[Bugeater]

Heh, another false start on KSU.

[Sam Hall]

I'm glad the coaches are recruiting several DBs.

[Bugeater]

Huge sack on Freeman, loss of 234525676 yds.

[Sam Hall]

The Wildcats offensive line has been dominated all night.

[Bugeater]

53 yd FG GOOD for KSU.

[OldTownChief]

nice kick

[Sam Hall]

There's Mo Purify again for a first down

[Bugeater]

Odd series of play calls there.

[Bugeater]

Don't know what those long passes were all about. Guess Callahan has to give us something to bitch about.

[Sam Hall]

Odd series of play calls there.

I'm getting bored by the offense.

[Bugeater]

Hey look Sam, you have a 100 post thread!

[Sam Hall]

Hey look Sam, you have a 100 post thread!

I think this is my second. Needless to say, I don't start many threads.

[Bugeater]

Jesus Christ Nunn, what the hell was that?

[Bugeater]

I think this is my second. Needless to say, I don't start many threads.
Neither do I, I've only started about a dozen since I've been here.

[Sam Hall]

Before anyone asks, Kansas State is not hanging in this game. Nebraska is in control. The Wildcats offense has done very little.

[Bugeater]

Damn, should have had them pinned at the 2.

[Sam Hall]

All I ask is one more NU touchdown, and hold KSU scoreless in the fourth quarter. 28-3 is good enough.

[Bugeater]

All I ask is one more NU touchdown, and hold KSU scoreless in the fourth quarter. 28-3 is good enough.
I'd settle for the latter. They've found some of our weaknesses on defense.

[Sam Hall]

I'm telling ya, Suh will be a force to be reckoned with.

[Bugeater]

I'm not so sure that "incomplete pass" wasn't intercepted.

[Bugeater]

That ball was caught by a NU defensive lineman before it hit the ground.

[Bugeater]

YES, INTERCEPTION!!!!!!!!!

[Sam Hall]

That ball was caught by a NU defensive lineman before it hit the ground.

You're doing good on the replays :thumb:

[Bugeater]

You're doing good on the replays :thumb:
They both were fairly obvious calls, having video helps too.

[Sam Hall]

I'm not happy about the offense.
They need a big week of practice before UT comes to town.

[Sam Hall]

I think Callahan is trying to protect the lead and get out of town.

[Bugeater]

I'm not happy about the offense.
They need a big week of practice before UT comes to town.
Our offensive line just isn't good. I'm not sure there's much that can be done at this point.

[Bugeater]

KSU is threatening here.

[Bugeater]

Down to the one, and a loss of two yards. 4th and goal from the 3

[Bugeater]

Turned it over on downs.

[Bugeater]

Should be ball game.

[Coach]

Typical K-State offense.

Can't score a TD when needed to.

[Sam Hall]

I'm pleased with the goalline stop by the Blackshirts.
Coz has called several good blitzes.

[Sam Hall]

It's time to put Mo Purify in the starting lineup.

[Bugeater]

Good win for NU, we take the Big XII North lead.

[Sam Hall]

What happened to Brandon Jackson?

[Bugeater]

Win #800 for NU.

[Sam Hall]

Ricky Thenarse has done some good stuff lately.

[Sam Hall]

scoreboard

[Bugeater]

What happened to Brandon Jackson?
Not sure if he was hurt or if Callahan just wanted to change up. You never know with him.

[Sam Hall]

I'm uncomfortable about next week. I have a feeling UT won't be any easier than USC.

[Bugeater]

Uncomfortable is a good word. Texas is looking like a buzz saw right now, I'm sure they're going to be able to take advantage of our depleted secondary. And who knows wtf our offense is going to be able to do to them. Luckily Mizzou lost today so we'll be even with them if we lose.

The division will come down to the NU/MU game. Like I said last week, I like our chances. NU plays better at home. Plus, Pinkel showed his old self today.

[Coach]

If Nebraska can consist a pass-rush against the freshman QB in McCoy, they should do OK.

As for your O, do alot of quick passes with a occasional deep throw to keep them guessing.

[Saulbadguy]

Congrats on the win, Nebraska Football fans.

Some thoughts...

I am enjoying the maturation of Josh Freeman. He is going to be a great QB for K-State, IMO. He has made progress every game he's played in.

Our offensive line is terrible..but young. They seem athletic enough, just no experience.

Our defense continues to impress me - I just wish the offense could keep them off the field.

I'm not sure I see 2 more wins for the bowl game. Perhaps vs Iowa State, maaaaybe @KU.

[Sam Hall]

I think Callahan will run like he did at USC. Pete Carroll said other teams have tried to replicate Callahan's strategy. USC has had some close games lately. Apparently it was a good strategy.

[BWillie]

How come both of them couldn't lose? Games like this suck

[Coach]

Doesn't the requirement to be bowl eligible to win six games against D-I teams? (Not including D-IAA)

I couldn't remember if that is the rule or not. :shrug:

[DomerNKC]

[Florida_Bronco]

Go Big Red!!

[WilliamTheIrish]

Where are all the Kansas State fans ROFL

At the game. You get the night from tearing tickets at the theater?

[Raiderhater]

do you still consider yourselves division 1?



Don't be stupid.

I'm just not sure what to make of this offense after seeing it live for the 2nd time. It's a chicken/egg thing.
Are we not running option because we have only two QB's? Or because we've scrapped it completely? Or because the OLine can't block?
I want to jump on Franklin, but I'm not sure it's his fault. Yet.

If you don't use a FB, the line better be able to zone block and give a lane. They couldn't. Again.
INside the 5 yard line, why not stop the no huddle and get the right people on the field for the 3rd down play? Instead they had 8 guys at the LOS and the SS walked up and timed the snap count to let PAtton get killed at the 4 yard line.

Really, really bad.

D was stellar. Again. Gave up too much on the ground (which surprised me.) Normally Taylor rolls out more than he did in this game. But when he did roll out, KSU's speed bounced him around.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Don't be stupid.

Remember who you're talking to there.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Anyway, good game Husker fans. You got the inside track to the North now.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Oh, and the fake FG was a really nice.

[Raiderhater]

Remember who you're talking to there.



I know, I know.

1. I doubt you see the option run under Ron Prince, ever. It is not in the playbook.

2. They can't zone block very well, but they are young, so hopefully they will get better. Plus the fact that half the line aren't built to zone block, the results are ugly.

3. Yeah, the goal line offense is terrible. Not sure what to do about that.

4. NU is a good rushing team, and again, our defense was on the field way too long. You could tell by the poor tackling.

[Bugeater]

Doesn't the requirement to be bowl eligible to win six games against D-I teams? (Not including D-IAA)

I couldn't remember if that is the rule or not. :shrug:
It used to be that you could use a D-1AA win once every two years, but I'm pretty sure that you can use one every year now.

[Bugeater]

Anyway, good game Husker fans. You got the inside track to the North now.
For the moment anyway....

[Sam Hall]

At the game. You get the night from tearing tickets at the theater?

You paid to watch Kansas State?

[Saulbadguy]

You paid to watch Kansas State?
You paid to attend kNU?

[Sam Hall]

You paid to attend kNU?

Since when did I attend there?

[WilliamTheIrish]

You paid to watch Kansas State?

Yes Sam. Every year. You see, some of us live in a society where we exchange money for goods and services. It's all part of what we call an "economy". Believe it or not, you are actually a part of this when you tear the little tickets for the all folks at the theater while wearing the little pilot uniform.
I was obviously mistaken in thinking you were aware of this. You'll learn more about this when you move out of the house.

Ah..I didn't notice the "I work at a movie theater."

I only strive to become part of the intellectual elite that is the Husker fan base.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Ah..I didn't notice the "I work at a movie theater."

I only strive to become part of the intellectual elite that is the Husker fan base.

I was going to remind Sam that there were HUsker fans at the game that .... get this..... paid money to see Nebraska play....... K-State.

That's the thing about Sam. He's not very smart, but he is really, really slow.

[Sam Hall]

I'm dumb and slow? Try driving 40 miles to school every day, carry a full class load, work on the school newspaper and then go back home and work 30 hours a week. Most people wouldn't want to do that.

No, I'm not the damn ticket taker. I earn more than most college students. You're being a stupid fool. The best you can do is run movie theater smack. This loss obviously hurts. Ron Prince basically ignored Callahan at midfield after the game. What a bunch of sore losers.

[Sam Hall]

You're obviously desperate if you have to look at someone's profile to help you run smack.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Let it out, Sam. Let it all out. You poor, poor kid.

If you didn't see the game how would you know if Prince "basically ignored" Callahan at midfield? Is this another Huskerpedia rumor that is making the rounds?

Is it anything like the famous rumors of other Husker fans who claim their tires were slashed, their children molested, their elderly fans pushed down stairs to their deaths, and other tails of mayhem that happen (only to Husker fans btw) in Manhattan when the Huskers lose?

Never in my existence have I seen a fanbase that cries as much as (some) of you Huskers. But it's different with you, Sam. You cry when you team wins. Your an amazing case study Sam.

[KCFalcon59]

This is a great thread. Kudos to WTI. heh.

[WilliamTheIrish]

You're obviously desperate if you have to look at someone's profile to help you run smack.

That must have stung. I'm sorry. Would you like to know what I do for a living so you can make fun of it?

The truth is Sam, you asked :

Where are all the Kansas State fans ROFL

As though I/we were avoiding the thread. (I believe it was bugeater who said "probably hiding out as ksufans.com)... Now that is funny.

Followed by: I don't see our friends, Saul and William.

To which I replied several hours later:

I was at the game. Did you get the night off from tearing tickets at the movie theater?

Have you known me (internet wise) to hide away from a thread? Rememer something Sam, if you don't like having a little stinging humor thrown your way, don't ask for it by calling my name.

I said "good game Husker fans" in this thread once. I meant it. I'll say it again since one time wsn't enough for you.

Good game Husker fans. Now, is that enough for your delicate ego Sam? I'm not - metaphorically - ignoring you at midfield? I even bolded it.

Now if that isn't respect, I don't know what is.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Besides Sam, you can always say:

"Scoreboard".

[WilliamTheIrish]

One more thing.

Sam I apologize for the ticket tearing comment. I do know it's real bitch working and going to school. It's takes a real commitment to do that. I did it a long time ago.

And I don't care what kind of work you do, at least it's work. And there are waaaay too many folks who don't give that kind of effort.

So again, I apologize for that comment.

So, even though I may fling some monkey poo at you at times, it's all in fun.

[dr00d]

what's wrong with working at a movie theatre :(
