Looking @ Nebraska Defense

Posted by Scipio Tex on December 2nd, 2009 under Football

Defense Judging from the Coaches All-Big 12 team, this is the finest collection of defenders the Big 12 has ever seen. Outside of the Big 12 North Galapagos where there are no offensive predators and beyond the Big 12 South Bob Stoops sewing circle, they're the 2nd or 3rd best defense in the league with all of their impact players loaded on the DL and 1-2 secondary spots.

Big 12 Media Days: Day One

Posted by HenryJames on July 28th, 2009 under Football

Day one of the Big 12 Media Days is in the books, and no one from BC was in attendance. Again. Ripley promised us that he could make us some press passes, but his resulting work was, uh, lacking.

Nebraska stares into the college football abyss. They see Bo Pelini staring back at them. That's when Nebraska finds their new head football coach, and that's what keeps them out of the abyss. That's the task at hand for Pelini. The once dominating Nebraska football program has gone missing and is no longer in the public eye. He has to return it to its past glory. "You're Nebraska. You used to win national championships. You used

Bo Pelini at Big 12 Media Day

Posted by Scipio Tex on July 24th, 2008 under Football

Pelini did a nice job at Big 12 media day. I just like to hear the guy talk defense. Cogent, intelligent, very little cliche. In reading his comments, I was absolutely struck by his identification of the distinct folly of two of our longest tenured defensive coordinators. I'll be curious to see if you see it as well. Q. Following up on what you said about spread offenses. What will it
