I like a good hook and ladder.Do you also like a shuttle pass?

My i s c & a aggie wife likes the flea-flicker.
I think it's mostly just because she likes the name.
So, are the Huskers going to be able to rustle up some magic of their own, to make this game competitive?I'm assuming that you meant the Tulane game. I think you're right about the score being a little closer than the game was. But the Sooner offense went dead in the 2nd half. Even a few first downs, without drives ending in scores, would have left Tulane without enough time to make it as close as it was.
I watched the Sooner-Tulsa game, and to me the score looked a little closer than the game. If the Sooners can get back to at least mid-season form from last year, they should win this one by a hefty margin. Maybe something like 35-14.
Guess it depends on where the shuttle is going.Or, more correctly, the shovel.
I think Nebraska has to be thinking about keeping it close going into the 4th quarter. The longer the underdog can stay in the game, the stronger he gets, and the weaker the favorite team gets. So, for the Huskers, keep it close and try to pop a big play late in the game to pull out the win. They should know about this--it's what OU did a few times to beat superior Tom Osborne-coached Husker teams who were leading late.yup, and I think the Husker players and coaches are plenty motivated
CWSooner,Thanks, Fearless. I hope you enjoy everything else.
Got your PM. Sorry you won't be enjoying the heat with me this weekend.
Enjoy the game
Or, more correctly, the shovel.Or is it the shuffle pass?
Or is it the shuffle pass?Utah pass works. But if it's going to be one of those "S" words, it's "shovel pass."
I call it the Utah pass as it leaves no doubt.

You can talk about the Space Shuttle, you can Shuffle off to Buffalo, but if you're referring to football, it is a shovel pass.
Unless you also say "I could care less."
Generic "you," of course.
I've never argued against either of those propositions.It was the general "you" for the benefit of all. :)
sleep easy, I live life to enjoy itThis may be too little, too late, but if you can't get into Cattleman's for some reason, McClintock's just NE of there is pretty good too.
Boomer!
planning a visit to Cattleman's for a dry aged steak and a bottle or two of wine Friday evening
Oh brother.Kolaches have fruit, cream cheese, or poppy seed fillings.
Tell me, what is an acceptable kolache, oh wise and food-omnipotent one.
I agree with shovel pass. I hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did. Now that was how OU/NU should be.Congratulations to the Huskers. They came to play, they made a game of it, and with fewer self-inflicted mistakes they could have won it. That's how OU-Nebraska games were in the '70s and '80s.
I didn't get to watch as originally planned, since we ended up driving all across Texas and making our Saturday into a UT-TAMU double-header.I'm with Thumper. The Sooners are not as good as advertised. And we might have a QB problem. Spencer Rattler is playing himself out of Heisman consideration. The quietly expressed hopes to see some some packages put in for backup freshman Caleb Williams are becoming a little less quiet.
It certainly ended up a lot closer than I expected. Are the Huskers maybe putting together a little something? Did the Sooners overlook them, getting ready for what's likely to be a very competitive matchup against the 'eers?
Rattler was pretty darned effective last season. Any reason why he might be less so, this year?The biggest difference is that Creed Humphrey is protecting Patrick Mahomes now and doing a darn fine job. He allowed 0 sacks last year and very few pressures. His replacements are nowhere near as good. Rattler is getting a lot of rush up the middle and he is having to dump off short. As CW said, he relies too much on his arm talent and his mechanics are often sloppy. His completion percentage is very good but YPG and YPA are way down from last year.

Culp, who made 33 of 35 total kicks last season, is now 3-of-8 on field goals with two missed extra points through four games this year.
Love me some Admiral Ackbar.
I really wish the Ole Miss students had adopted him as their new mascot a few years back...
* Martinez is still facing pressure far too often. OU’s athletic defensive front gave the Huskers problems throughout the day even though rarely brought more than four defenders.Man!
According to Pro Football Focus data, Martinez was pressured 18 times in 36 drop-backs. The Journal Star credited Martinez with seven scrambles for 42 yards (including one play that was logged as a sack) and then he was sacked four other times.
well, when the QB seems to have some time and then completes a good ball for a first down or better yet a TD, the opponent is likely to think there's NO pass rushI don't think that there was as much pressure on Rattler as Rattle thought there was. He did not do a good job of stepping into the pocket.
most Husker fans think there wasn't nearly enuff pressure on Rattler
Man!
It's funny how sometimes stats completely belie what one thinks he saw in live-streaming color. A lot of OU fans are with me in feeling that Martinez had too much time to pass.
~???
folks in Norman on Saturday in both shades of RED agreed that "TEXAS SUCKS"You say hurtful things.
and that's a fact, Jack
You say hurtful things.
WAY worse than the Husker Prick SquadNot being as bad as arkie fan, is still nothing to be proud of, son.
If Arkansas-fan is considered bad, the sips have a lot of unpleasant introductions about to be made. Wait'll they meet the Gumps.Eh the gumps don't hate us. The pigs do.
We yell clever insults, but at least we feed you well while you're on campus.
