Good luck on Saturday. Hope your players watch out for concussions. Nebraska players seem to be going for the knock out blows this season. Either for the knees or the heads. Let's hope the refs watch out for that this time too.
Watch your backs against NU!
- Thread starter GigemAggie
- Start date
I hope NU focuses on that, if they do I have a feeling we'll get the ball around them and into the end zone. Our coaching staff is very VERY good atidentifying the opposing teams stratagey and taking advantage of it. Just see Texas!
This. I don't know what it's at now, but during the UT game the announcers kept showing the ridiculous number of times NU had fumbled this season and recovered. That is going to even out eventually, let's hope it's this week!

Just the past game, Nebraska was penalized a number of times for chop blocks. And three of their hits on Missouri QB should have included personal foul penalties that were not called. Two shots to the head and a facemask penalty.
I thought this was just sour grapes back in 2007:
Daniel called Nebraska "one of the dirtiest team's he'd ever played," but he wasn't the only one angry after the Tigers' 52-17 victory. Junior defensive lineman Jaron Baston called Nebraska "by far" the dirtiest team he'd ever suited up against.
"It's always going to be an on-field battle, they're going to cheap shot you, you're going to talk trash, that's just part of the game," Baston said. "They do a lot of things that I've never had done to me. I know on one play I got knocked down, and I got back up, but one of their guys just jumped on my back and laid on me while the play was way down field."

Oh please... watch the damn video. Gabbert starts to duck the hit and Osborne follows the angle he started on. Gabbert ducks into the hit, is 5-6 inches taller than the DB hitting him and still gets facemask to facemask. Osborne doesn't jump UP and Gabbert ducks. He didn't target Gabbert's head, he didn't lead with the crown of his helmet.
If Gabbert stays up he gets hit in the chest.
Go ahead and make villains of the NU team, everyone will do it all year... no surprise.
But maybe try looking without the "I hate the Huskers for leaving the Big 12" glasses... of course that is asking to much for you all but give it a try anyway. I know you wont admit you are wrong.

A little sensitive aren't you? There are 9 posts in this thread. Three of them by an Aggie who started the thread and six others not really agreeing with him. I would guess with as few responses as there are, most don't agree with his premise.
Osborne would have nailed him in the side of the head if the MU QB hadn't reacted. That would have been a definite knock out. Osborne completely speared him. This has nothing to do with NU leaving the Big 12. It has everything to do with dirty play.
Now I'm convinced that GigemAggie is right. We'll tip off the officials to watch for that and the ISU fans will hold the officials accountable for every call.
By the way, we aren't going to play our #1 qb and #1 rb so Nebbie better watch out! You know what happens when we do that!!

Yep. Aren't we #1 in the league in turnover margin? I feel like our D is going to have a big day turnover wise, and it's going to keep up in the game. The ghosts of 9-7 are going to come back to haunt the Huskers this weekend!
Does anyone think it is funny that a Nebraska fan and an A & M fan are arguing on an ISU fan forum? 
Just watched the video. Clearly an illegal hit. I won't say that it is intentional, but still illegal. Personally I disagree that Gabbert ducked. I don't even think he saw the hit coming until just prior to the hit. Watch his helmet. He is looking down field until the defender is about 5 feet away from Gabbert.
You don't classify spearing when you hit with your facemask.... that comes with the crown of the helmet.
No he wouldn't have hit him in the side of the helmet. Watch the video. Osborne never changed his angle of attack. It was after Gabbert dropped to duck that the level of the two helmets matched. If Gabbert didn't squat, he gets hit in the chest ut Osbornes facemask. Not a spear. There is a photo of a Missou player doing just that to Martinez though. Top of the helmet spearing TM near the neck. THAT is spearing.
Why wouldn't a fan come to the defense of a player when a fan from a completely different team come sto a board of the team you play this week and starts throwing out false representations of a player or organization? I would hope you would do the same if the roles were reversed.
Husker fan just says that it's the corrupt Big XII out to get revenge on them for leaving. "Theys out to git us!" Seriously? The arrogance of that fan base knows no bounds.
Sorry, when did I ever say such a thing? You want to claim the whole fanbase says that? Go ahead, doesn't surprise me. It has become the cliche comment about NU this year. Too bad you all fall into the talking points others make up and don't use rational thought for yourself.

This is getting good!
