Saturday's contest with KSU brought together two programs on the slide. It appears that KSU has slid more than Nebraska, even without all the damage a coaching change does. KSU did not seem to have the talent or intensity that they've shown for the past 10 years. It was a sad game in Lincoln.
The most dynamic unit on the field was the great plains wind that whipped through here Saturday. It felt like Memorial Stadium was trucking down the interstate. What was cool, from a football perspective, was how it 'tilted' the field. All the action took place in the opposite endzone, the endzone downwind. Really fascinating.
I was wrong about this being my dad's first Husker game. He attended the 1955 Iowa State game (a win, 21 - 0). He said he sat in steel bleachers in the south endzone. The place has changed a little in the past 50 years.
Now the Huskers are bowl elligible. I am glad for that. We can use the extra practice time.
KSU put up two safties on us. The last time UNL gave up two safeties was during the 'debaucle in the desert', 19 - 0 versus ASU in 1996. I hope someone notices.
During the game Callahan burned his highly recruited quarterback's redshirt (Harrison Beck). Two games left in a dead season and he burns a 5 star recruit's red shirt so he can throw an interception, hand off 4 times and complete two passes. I question the sanity of that course of action. But I don't make the big bucks. I'll bet Mizzou has some insight into this since they did the same thing to one Brad Smith.
Well, no more home games for the year. Nebraska has a loss looming in Boulder. CU looked vulnerable with the loss to ISU, but that was AT ISU with the same howling winds we had in Lincoln. I doubt the Golden Rapists will be caught sleeping at home.
Nebraska to Houston and the EV1.net bowl!!!

It was good to see Nebraska putting up a win. I'll definitely be rooting for them against the Buffs, although the humiliation they could get at the hands of Vince Young a second time would be sweet too.
I hope Nebraska can beat good ol' CU in Boulder. I really can't stand that coach/team.
CU can lose to UNL, ISU lose to KU and CU still gets the Vince Young treatment again (and Jabba the Coach gets another big win).
Texas should be careful though. It truly is hard to beat a team twice in one year. A let down would be in character for the Longhorns. NO ONE wants to see Miami in the Rose bowl again.
Actually, if Texas loses there is a good chance that LSU could leapfrog Miami. I wouldn't mind LSU there at all.
LSU. Their defensive coordinator, Bo Pelini was the defensive coordinator at Nebraska, but he was let go so the program wouldn't 'gravitate towards medocrity'.
Looks like Nebraska doesn't have to worry about Bill Snyder anymore.
