We all know there's been a conspiracy. Only the failures have been recorded.
We all pay too much attention to Icarus, and not enough to his father.

Now Husker fan is equating practice to game day?

Are you guys really reaching that low to say "Oh well, he plays well in practice.."

He's never played a complete season.. ever.. in college.  Now you're trying to tell me he's better than Taylor simply because your anemic secondary watched him throw great passes during practice?

I'm just amazed that 7 months from the start of fall practice, you're already trumpeting your Big 12 Championship on a QB has yet to prove himself in a gameday under Callahan, much less lead any team to a championship.

I applaud your efforts for propping up someone so much, you're willing to believe potential over results.

He's a top pro prospect, who has proven he can play against big time collegiate competition. He's looked better in practice than Taylor, and it's the opinion of many of the defenders that if eligible he would have been the starter this year over Taylor. Just to review, that's the same Taylor that Freeman realized he wouldn't be able to beat out, thus the transfer to K-State.

So Keller > Taylor > most QBs in the Big 12 > Freeman

Quote
Oh snap...a jab at Freeman for changing his choice of colleges. Good one.

No so much the change, and the way he did it...after being committed for some time, he didn't even have the courtesy to call.

Quote
Or are you referring to the fact that Mr. Keller exhibited some "character issues" by transferring tucking tail and running when things didn't go his way?

At least he had the class to tell them he was transferring.

Quote
I will say at least Sammy first tried the "Crouch Plan" when things turned sour for him. It didn't work for him, so slinking away he went. Hey, maybe that's where he got the idea to transfer to NU?

You are of course referring to Eric Crouch, the Heisman trophy winning QB from Nebraska. How many Heismans has K-State won? Ever?

Quote
And I see the "Husker-hype Machine" is in full swing. Accolades. Accolades. Best ever. Accolades. 

Who won the division last year? Who won it in part by coming down to Manhattan and rolling some pretenders? LOL.

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.

Hilarious.

No, what's hilarious is the way you characterize Nebraska as a mediocre team, and yet manage to get rolled by them year after year.

No, getting rolled by Nebraska at home, ending up in the Texas Bowl, and having a weak recruiting class speak for themselves.

How are you guys going to compete if the coaches keep leaving, and the players won't even visit? Most of the members of your recruiting class are guys who weren't even recruited by anyone else.

No, 13-12 in conference play is the definition of mediocre. That's three years.

Big 12 North Champions who came to Manhattan and rolled you, and ended up in the Cotton Bowl

vs.

Big 12 North also-ran who lost to Baylor, finished barely above .500, ended up in a made-up Bowl game, and can't buy a decent recruit.

Nuff said.

Man, I'm really getting you to show your true colors.

Anyway, enjoy that big 12 north title. This isn't the last 90's or early 00's when it actually meant something.

In the mean time, try figuring out how your coach has nearly the same winning % in conference play as ron f-ing prince.

I was trying to be nice. Then in typical K-State fashion, people saw need to rip on Keller and Nebraska. Not sure what your fixation with Nebraska is, probably just a symptom of your massive inferiority complex.

Nebraska and K-State are not ever in the same ballpark in terms of talent and potential right now. Look at your recruiting class for instance...how many of those guys would even be allowed to walk-on at Florida? USC? Nebraska?

You're right about the talent, but wrong about performance. We rolled you last year in Manhattan, and won the Big 12 North. We'll roll you again this year in Lincoln and win the Big 12 outright.

It's great to be a Husker fan.  :)

sorry to confuse you... I was referring to your post stating the talent was way off....   And yes, I would say that the performances were about the same;  And sorry... You had a 2 win edge on us...  Not that big of a gap, especially, considering our south performance blows yours out of the water....    I know....   BAYLOR...   they hung 17pts. on us...    big deal. 




Here's one for you... 

OSU  41 pts?   :eek:

If it wasn't for your lucky win at TAMU and pinkles choke-a-thon.... you wouldn't have even been in KC in december.  :twobirds:

Yep . . . worst 3 year run at NU since the late 50's, but it's "Great to be a Husker Fan".

It took Tom Osborne 7 or 8 years in the mid 80's to early 90's to lose as many games as Slashahan has lost in 3.  Back then Cornhole State fans were not very happy with Tom Osborne.   Today it's "Great to be a Husker Fan".  How times have changed.

Why is performance against the South relevant? Way to reach for some way to crow about your team. We beat you head to head....on your field....and it wasn't even competitive. How you did against some third team that we both played is irrelevant.

We're on our way back to national prominence. You're mediocre and bringing in a class of recruits no one else was even interested in.

Again, we rolled you....at home...on your field...in a game that was over before it started. I think our starters likely get a better workout against the scout team than they did against K-State.

You got pounded by Rutgers, and lost by 27 points, in a game that wasn't even that close. You squeaked out a 1 point win against Illinois State, lost by 14 to Baylor in a game where you managed a lonely field goal, got pounded by Nebraska and Missouri, and Kansas almost doubled up on you...

and your comeback is that NU had a bad game against Oklahoma State?

I wasn't aware that beating KSU by 18 pts. meant that you were on your way back to national prominence.  In fact, the only comparison I was making was your top 10 talent managed a measly 2 more wins than our top 50 talent in a weak conference.  You should be running the table against "weak teams like us” but you're getting smoked by teams like OSU.

Look for one thing that illustrates I'm "crowing" for my team.  I'm well aware of the teams that we lost to, and by how much.  Which is exactly why I’m not going to rival forums and bragging about what we’re going to do next year? 

You suck nearly as much as we do is the point I'm making....  So for every embarrassing loss to Baylor you bring up, I can just bring up your coaches inability to do anything note worthy with players that Baylor could win a NC with.   You suck at life, flaming, and football.

"Yes. It's his job to bring in a QB. That is part of coaching."

well, we didn't have a job to offer anyones father like KSU did, so we did the best we could.  interesting.  If joe daily starts one game this year he will actually have played and started at qb for 4 different coaches.

Klown Staters,

You should consider yourselves lucky.  You are going to witness firsthand the incredible talent that is Sam Keller.  Without question he will be the best QB in the Big XII next year.  Look for NU to get Big XII Offensive Player of the Year 2 years in a row and look for Sam Keller to torch your purple secondary.  I can't wait.

It doesn't matter how good Keller is.  Callahan will continue to run the ball.  He loves running the clock down.  (Even when he's losing by double digits..)

You've got to admit it's hilarious that a kid who hasn't played since his sophomore year and his former teammates refused to play with is being hyped as a heisman candidate.  Especially considering the playcalling Callahan's been displaying with the run first, pass only to open up the run or on a trick play, mentality.

his former teamtates refused to play with him?  are those the former teamtes who voted him team captain or the former teamtes, led by soph qb rudy carpenter who threatened to transfer unless carpenter was named starter?  because there seems to ne about 2 sets of team members, the  few that blackmailed the now unemplyed coach and the 95 or so otehr guys.

So what you're saying is, in about 2 or 3 years, NU will only be losing 2 or 3 games a year.

NU . . . the Big 12's new Juco U.

Hypocrites.

Another example of PurpleCobra who stated he was a "KSU fan".

Explain this to me.  You have a committment from a JUCO QB with 4 years to play 3?  Who is it?

He only had 1 offer.

From Nebraska.

I've seen a lot of four star JUCO recruits with zero offers.

I find that funny.

thats juco recruiting for you.  they can't go by number or quality of offers because not many of the big boys go after jucos.  I like this guy though.  He has 3 years of playing time and a rs if he needs it.  Not a bad deal.  OU wanted him to visit but he told them no.  And OU won't offer a nu commit under those conditions, it's a arrogance thing

Lee looks to be a stud, and has a great arm and is mobile enough to be a threat to run as well. He's the odds-on starter after Keller graduates.
