Tom Osborne announces the new Interim Husker Football Coach..........himself!

He had to announce someone as head coach to take care of some of the off-campus recruiting responsibilities.



How awesome (and far-fetched) would that be if Osborne was head coach again??!

I am very stressed by the current coaching search because it is so important that we get it right this time. We cannot survive another botched selection. Living in North Carolina, I really feel we could not go wrong with Jim Grobe. No coach has done more with less talent than Grobe on an annual basis. However, I am still leaning towards Bo because I know he would bring intensity that has been missing for 4 years.

Anyone else out there drinking heavily to cope?

After watching what I could of the games this year we need more then a new coach.

Yes that is the place to start but we need to get the players to really buy into the fact as to what NU football is all about. It is TEAM not one or two stars. We have never really been a team of stars. Yes a star will riase up but not at the cost of the team. We call them the black shirts why? Becuase they where a team. Yes there where good players who will stand out but they did not make very tackle.…

I survived my trek to Boulder with the help of the fine folks at Budweiser and whatever company makes those hand and foot warmers. It was probably the coldest game that I have ever been to.

As for the game itself, it was a fitting end to the Callahan-Cosgrove era. Another HUGE scoring situation from an average football team, that we made to look brilliant.…

Bo Pelini has been contacted as being the Huskers football new head coach. Exciting news, yeah!

There had been rumors earlier in the week that Bo had been spotted in and around the Lincoln area, and that he possibly had purchased a house.

You can read the full article about Pelini here.

Thanks everyone for participating in the first HuskerSpot.com poll! The results for this poll "Will Nebraska beat Colorado and reach a bowl game?" are as follows:

Yes: 69% (20 votes)

No:31% (9 votes)

Too bad the poll didn't help our guys out on the field on Saturday..... oh, well.

There will be more polls to follow, so stay tuned!

Navy coach Paul Johnson seems to have a good resume and sounds like the type of person husker nation is crying for. HC experience, good clean program, beats teams as an underdog and is ready to have more talented players under his watch so he can do the same at a "higher level". One vote for Johnson.

You know, as much as i hated pederson for what he did to the huskers, I owe him a whole lot of gratitude. If it wasnt for him, I would not be at all the home games now. I probably might of been down the road, but that may have never happened. I owe him for being able to purchase some season tickets. If we wouldnt have built the addition to the North endzone, I never would have had the opportunity to put in and win the opportunity go get season tickets. I wasnt all that enthusiastic about how…

Hey ya'll, I'm bored right now....thinking about the Huskers and how the season is almost over. I came across this site here - I did a little survey and then I'm entered in a contest to win lunches or some lunch money. Thought I'd share it with some hungry Husker fans!

Nebraska has supposedly signed two top ten classes under Callahan. Now I see they give up 50 points and 600 yards a game. Can anybody coach up in Lincoln? When is the last time Cosgrove made an adjustment? Who cares if it worked, just trying it would be a surprise. Invite you all to root for LSU, you get to watch Bo Pelini in action again....not too bad.

There's a new Husker football book out, written by a current college student of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. It's called, "The Nebraska Way" by Jonathan Crowl. There has been a lot of talk about this new book - especially with the current coaching situation. Note: I haven't started this book yet, but I have heard that "by the time you reach the end of this book you see clearly how

wrong guys like Callahan and Pederson are for Nebraska, and how right guys like

Osborne,… Continue

Well, we went into the Kansas game excited to watch Joe Ganz in his first start as a Husker. He did amazingly well, despite the 4 turnovers. He was actually on pace to put up better numbers than Zac Taylor and Sam Keller. Mo Purify looked outstanding, as did the rest of the recieving corps, but trying to keep pace with a top 10 juggernaut was not in the cards. I was completely satisfied with the offensive playcalling on Saturday. We were able to do things that no other KU opponent had done…

Ok, let me start this off by saying - as I'm typing this, I see just to the right of where I'm typing - an auction for a Kansas Jayhawks Football ticket with a starting price of $6.08. Yes, let me repeat this - Kansas v. Huskers ticket at $6.08!! No big surprise though, right!? Especially with the performance of the Husker defense lately.



I think for this post I'm going to compare my "fan" feelings for… Continue
