KSU vs. Nubb position by position...

[The Manhatter]

QB - KSU.  Keller has same amount of wins as starter..and he's going to be a senior.  Nuff said.  Sure, Samantha is talented but that cokehead isn't as talented as power of one.

RB - KSU.  Lucky never met a tackle he could break.  Patton = 6 ypc in Big 12 play and great fatty video footage.  Wilson broke his stick and BJax is gonzo.  Glenn never has developed consistency.  NUbb has talent but not much productivity yet.

TE - KSU.  Seriously..JB Phillips.

WR - Nubb.  But I must say the funniest damned thing I've ever heard is several Nubbs insisting that Nate Swift is more talented than Jordy.  Nubb isn't nearly as good at receiver as they think they are but they are solid and have a lot of experience.  When Purify isn't out beating the hell out of women he's not a bad receiver.  Nunn is steady and reliable.  I'm intrigued by this true freshman from Leander, Texas w/ the goofy name.  I think he's going to be a really good one.  KSU receiving corps needs to develop before we can be comparable.

OT - Nubb.  Nicks looks like an NFL RT.  Maybe Murtha will finally be as good as Tom Lemming believed him to be when he was out of Big 10 country w/ out a Michigan, Ohio State, and Iowa offer.  Stringer is going to be pretty good but he's not there yet and who knows if he'll be healthy.  Big question mark.

Interior OL - Nubb but not by as much as they think.  Bedore is better than Byford but...Nubb moved that fat freak Slauson to his more natural position, guard.  We'll see how our guards develop...we should be okay there.  Tackle is our concern.  Nubb is not that much better in the interior.


DE - KSU, easily.  Potter has been a disappointment.  We'll see if the kid from Tennessee can defend the run.  Jackson and Abana.  Jackson is the best defense in the league, period. 

DT - NU by a mile.  Suh is one of the best DT's in the nation.  Not many know it yet but he's a monster.  More numbers for Nubb.  I think we're okay at DT but we're not as good as Nubb here.

LB - Nubb but due to experience.  Ruud and McKeon are just solid, experienced players.  Octavien has yet to live up to Nubb SuperFan's predictions...we'll see.  This could easily be even or possibly a KSU edge at some point in the season...w/ Walker, Patterson, and Campbell it's not like we're chumps.  I like Roland too though he's not spectacular.

CB - KSU.  Forget trick knee Bowman.  Jones isn't nearly as good as Nubb thinks.  We're deeper.  Baldwin and Moore are playas.  McKinney and Garvin go for the knees.  Cheatham...can't wait to get him in the mix.

Safety - Even.  Watts keeps this even.  I like NU's depth and quality better though Asante should be playing LB.  I really like Thenarse..he's going to be a great player for Nubb.

Starting rumors about players like that is going too far. He may or may not turn out to be a great player for us this year, but smearing someone as being a "cokehead" without any evidence is pretty low.

no need to get offended by it.  The entire nation outside of Nebraska says he was a cokehead down at ASU.  Take it or leave it.  I'm not saying he is but there is a lot of smoke.  You can choose to take it personally.  It's not like KSU fans are bothered by the fact that half of our defense is stoned out of their minds.

[S. Parker]

Otherwise it's a decent enough comparison. The only other trouble I have with it is that you are taking a couple positions which have unknowns (could be good or bad...we don't know yet) and talking about them conclusively .

[cireksu]

Cokehead pederass from what I've heard.

Wasn't that part of the reason Marlon unLucky OD'd?  He was doing lines off of Samantha Helen Keller?

Ouch.

2 TDs, 5 INTs

And our secondary is better.

I think all the "evidence" went up Mr. Keller's nose.

[KSURulz]

Easy with the libel. 

As far as comparisons, if we're talking about this season, NU gets the edge.  If we're talking about the next 3 seasons, KSU gets it since he has experience.  But beyond Freeman, KSU doesn't have much of anything.

RB is close, NU has more depth at that position.

One thing is, ksu needs to start recruiting better and in a hurry.  We need to stop getting recruits that no big-time programs are after.  Nebraska is getting commits from recruits who programs like Notre Dame, Michigan and Ohio State offer.  Prince needs to get on the ball. 

[Slick]

No kidding.  People actually don't realize that they can get in trouble for the stuff they post on the internet.  A Missouri fan is about to find that out.... Hope he has a good lawery and if you keep this up Manhatter... you better have a good one too.  Go ahead and laugh this off, if you do then obviously you have never taken any law classes.

Lastly, stop being an f-ing super r3tard homer Manhatter.  Your breakdowns are the dumbest I have ever seen.  Have you ever predicted or broke something down and been right?  From what I have seen on Rivals, that would be a 100% no.

facts = perfect defense for libel fwiw

Well jeez, I guess you won't have many excuses for not whipping Nebraska, winning the North, the Big 12 and a BCS bowl game this year huh Hatter? The real difference between Nebraska and Kansas State right now is we have more difference makers and quality depth. Nebraska drops off very little from their 1st to 2nd string. KSU's 2nd string across the board is just pathetic.

[Maxell]

I agree-someone alerted Keller's father to some of the stuff that's been posted and he is strongly considering a lawsuit against the perpetrators for some of the baseless stuff that's been said.

Why don't you help us all out by putting that rocket science degree to use by telling us just why it is ok to post baseless information about Keller's father (as illustrated in your post above) which would show a stupidity beyond compare, yet it is not ok to post what is generally considered to be common knowledge on the ASU campus, in Tempe AZ, and the surrounding areas.

Surely, you don't want us to believe that the ENTIRE Keller family is that phucking stupid that his father is chasing down "internet bullies" who post rumors (true or otherwise) on fansite message boards.

 

[catzacker]

I hope Keller and Lucky room together this year. 

[Maxell]

Of course, you have proof that you can present to a jury that you saw Keller take illegal drugs?

Well, that's just wrong.  Please try to post something intelligent or refrain, Ruprecht.  KSU has depth at many positions.  What we haven't had is even a decent O-Line, and our QB is young, but with great potential.  We also only have one proven, quality WR.  KSU is a question mark, but has the potential to be a very solid north contender....or not.  It depends on the development at O-Line, QB and WR.  We also are weak at NG.  The player analysis on the KSU side was solid.  I don't track the Nubbs...I just know they have the great talent equalizer....Callahan! 

[KSU4ME]

Forget the comparisons, NU is flat loaded at many positions, and are solid and deep where they aren't loaded.

The schedule lays out nicely, with the toughest game (USC) in Lincoln, along with home games against potential spoilers in aTm, OSU and KSU.  The road game to UT is the only roadie against a team in the Coaches top 30.

If NU loses more than 2 games (including CCG), fails to finish Top Ten with a BCS Bowl then it will be an overwhelming indictment of the abilities of the coaching staff.

I'm not a retard, "that's libel".

Okay...back to the reality talk.  What was I wrong about..what I love about Slick is that he always tells you that you're wrong but never provides any details.  C'mon..I want to hear about how the husker back-ups are all better than our first stringers.  You do realize you have a ton of busts, right?

[Maxell]

Hey Hatter, where's the beef?

I am working on a breakdown for you Manhatter.  Look for it sometime this weekend.

well, at least Schmidt is a stud...but at South Florda.

Looking forward to it, Slick.  But you don't have to dazzle me w/ star rankings etc. because you won't get anywhere.  I want to see discussion about real play...not how the recruiting world viewed them a few years ago.

Will do... here is a preview.  I finished my QB part, but I am not going to finish the rest till I am off work.

QB – Advantage NU

NU – Nebraska goes into this season with transfer QB Sam Keller leading the way.  Keller has already shown that he can have success at the D-1 level throwing for 2165 yards, 20 TD’s, and 9 INT’s before suffering a season ending hand injury at Arizona State.  Sam has now had a year to learn the WCO and was very impressive during the spring game.  Adam Carriker has been quoted in an article to say, that if Sam didn’t have to sit out last season he would have started over Taylor in 2006.  Sam seems to be a perfect fit for Callahan’s offense and has been pushed to work even harder due to journeyman Joe Ganz who was also very impressive this spring.

KSU – Physical phenom Josh Freeman had an up and down season as a true freshman.  He has all the needed physical tools, now it is just time to see if he can take advantage of them on the field after throwing for 1780 yards, 9 TD’s, and 15 INT’s.  If spring is any indication, he still is a work in progress as he struggled in the spring game and was outperformed by back-up Carson Coffman.  It also does not help that there are still questions on the O-line.

You used a quote from Carriker and Freeman's spring game to provide reason for your decision.  Ummm..okay?

I saw Keller play a number of times for ASU..I think he's good but he's not going to be better than Freeman IMO.  ASU's offense was perfectly tailored for big numbers by a QB and while he had some he was dreadful is some games...particularly in the 2nd half of some contests.  Keller fizzled in that last year and when relieved by Carpenter he was not going to get his job back because Carpenter was good.

And Keller was not going to start over Taylor.  Taylor was a highly cerebral game manager.  Keller isn't that type of a leader.
