not the opinions of sports writers.
Another thing to consider. Sportswriters like Sipple that cover the team on a year round basis, as a career, probably have a better grasp of what's occurring in the program than 99% of fans. His opinion needs to be respected and valued. He's covered Nebraska for 15 years and 11 as the beat writer. He's seen Nebraska at their best in the mid-90s and at their worst in the early 2000s and through this change. The man knows what he's talking about.
From Nebraska beat writer Steve Sipple of the Lincoln Journal Star:
"...it’s impossible to convince me that Nebraska isn’t a program on the rise.
"Nebraska, athlete for athlete, is beginning to resemble Husker outfits of the glory days, especially the horses in this year’s offensive line... Nebraska once again has linemen that intimidate."
Piss off dude. Kansas State thought they were bad apples when they kicked sand in our face with Solich at the helm. And now its payback time and I'm just getting started on the ammo.
Lets see-USC on the road; Texas in the last 30 seconds (with their QB actually playing, not a backup); Auburn (beat Florida); Oklahoma (outgained them in total yardage); and a hangover loss to Oklahoma State on the road. The Oklahoma State game BTW was one that almost every Nebraska fan correctly predicted before the season started. Yeah, I'm guessing there would be a lot of teams that would go unscathed with that schedule. :rolleyes:
Sipple isn't even from Nebraska. He has no loyalty to the staff or program. And he's always been realistic about what's happening whether it was good or bad. He has seen the Nebraska teams of the mid 90s and knows what kind of talent was on those teams. And he knows what kind of talent is on this team because he sees the players everyday. Nice spin Hatter! Don't let the reality of the situation clog your peabrain!
Yeah you know-like you guys forgetting to show up against Kansas last year. Blown out.
OSU was a classic trap game-it became even more apparent we were going to have trouble after the way we lost the Texas game. And I'll say this-if Zac Bowman wasn't injured last year, this is all irrelevant because Nebraska wins the Big 12 title if he's healthy.

I'd ask you but it appears you're too busy posing as a Nebraska fan and greasing up your K State buddies.
Talent alone will make sure we're in the Big 12 title game every year with a shot at the BCS.
And next year, what will your excuse be. When the "Callahan can't coach" stuff is put to rest, I can guarantee you that the next thing we hear from the mouths of K State fans is "Well he's going to go back to the NFL anyways." GUARANTEED.

21-3. Remember how funny it was to hear Kansas State fans at this time last year mouthing off saying "yeah well you haven't won here since blah blah blah." Came down and stomped a mudhole in Prince's goofballs. 21-3. Maybe you'll show up this year??

I'm guessing zero. The teams back then were very good, the kind of teams that competed for Big XII and National Championships every year. There was no such thing as a trap game for them, because they were very talented and very well coached. The team you have now is struggling to find it's identity on offense, (Are we a wide open passing team? Why can't we get any good high school quarterbacks or receivers signed? Could Callahans offense be a little less easy to predict?) a defense that is closer to the pink shirts than the black shirts, and a coach who has demonstrated the ability to recruit in the top four or five in his own conference but also demonstrates daily why he went from coaching in a SuperBowl to being jobless in the NFL in just a few years. (How many other coaches have fallen out of favor so quickly in the NFL? How many coaches with sub .500 career records are still bouncing around from job to job in the NFL?) I am truly sorry that your need for validation is fulfilled by the words of a man whose career is based on writing for the hometown paper of a once proud program. No way he is biased in any way shape or form.

After a couple of years of almost approaching objectivity . . . the Cornhole beat writers have now put their kneepads back on and now officially back to glory holing Cornhole football.
