It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

    The "other" KSU
I believe Snyder would have NEVER done that 2 pt call.

Why the 2pt call, but not go for 7 on the previous drive?  One or the other, because 50/50 just gets you the loss.

No way you can second guess either of those calls. He knew the D couldnt stop them, so if you dont get a 4th and 3 you're down 2 scores almost guaranteed...game over.
On the road, guaranteed OSU will score, might as well go for 2 and hope on a prayer. He made the big decisions just as he should.
Tibs needs some help though.

    Now that's how you get out a f***ing blood stain.

He knew there was no way we could win the game in OT
When I was a kid growing up in the projects, I used to dream of going into space, of escaping the slums, of killing an Ewok!

You figure you'll get the ball back (one way or the other) after we kicked the field goal.  For the 2pt conversion, he probably figure he wouldn't get another shot and didn't want to go into overtime.

2 pt call was amazing!   :love:

I agree with you that it was a gutsy call but I wonder if it actually worked against us. If we had tied it OSU would probably have just settled for overtime and we could have won it there. Instead we made them have to make a play and unfortunately they did.

Either way.....We're still in the middle of the Big XII North race. Unfortunately Kansas and Missouri aren't showing any signs of screwing it up. We still have winnable games with Baylor and at Iowa State and Nebraska before our showdown with Missouri. Fresno State is better then I thought they were supposed to be but we'll burn that bridge when we get there.

There's still plenty of football to be played!

Go Cats!

Once again, relying on other teams to take it easy on you is not a good way to plan on winning games.

Still, 7-8 wins just like everybody said before the year started.  Just not the way everyone thought KSU would get there.

The decision to go for two was balls.  He gave the ST and D another chance to get ONE stop.  But they couldn't do it.

The decision itself was the correct one.

I guarantee it has something to do with it hurting us in the long run.. Unrealistic expectations or something, I'm sure.

It wasn't just the loss.  It was the moral losses w/in the loss itself.

Serious question, how long to you anticipate Prince being at KSU?  He will be in demand if not this year, in the years to come.  Do you think he stays a long time or goes for the money.

Also, how many of you are coming up for the game in Lincoln?  I would not mind meeting some of you after the "discussions" we have had here.

I think if he gets good assistants under him (Franklin has potential. Pretty uneasy about Tibs after the last few weeks), then I bet he'll stick around.

Manatee is saying that he'll be gone because he'll get a better offer.



Prince has said he wants to be the Joe-Pa of the Midwest. Do you think he'll leave for NU?

No, Bo Pelini will be the next head coach at NU.  So I am not a typical NU fan, I want all the teams in the Big XII to be great.  I think Prince is an excellent game day coach.  I do like all the crap the NU and KSU fans throw back and forth at each other on this board.

He would be a great hire, his players go to war for him.  That has been part of the problem up here lately, more guys worried about their freaking hair gel then hitting someone.

Please hire him. Prince will coach circles around him year after year.

I don't think TO is that retarded to hire Pelini.

I doubt that very much

TO learned from his mistakes and is an extremely intelligent person (probably a genius IQ)

Are you kidding me?

The problem is coaching.  While Pelini may be a great D Coordinator, he's not a scheme genius in any way shape or form.    In order for him to be able to restore Nebraska, he'd have to be smarter than TO.  I think a lot of rocks are much smarter than Pelini.  Based on what I've seen,   he did a horrible job against Snyder.

Prince would destroy him in a heart beat.

I'll tell you sker fans again. NU will NEVER be the same as it was during the 90's.  I'm sorry,  but if you don't recognize that your program can never do what it did.  And even if it did, you'd have to wait for many years, because the landscape has changed that much.   You all made the stupid mistake of firing Solich.   Then you watched as Callahan destroyed the roots and put in his crappy system and you all bought it hook line and sinker.  Now you got Mr. Senile who is spending his time telling the whiny old players who weren't allowed on the sideline that it's OK you can come back instead.   For whatever reason, the motivations will not change any aspect of your program.   Zero.  Zilch. 

Time for you guys to recognize the end is near for NU's relevance.  I predict, by 2010, the sellouts will end.

If they can't get back to their COD (century of dominance) then what about us? :frown:
