HOly SH*T....its been awhile...for my adorning fan base I deeply apologize but due to the lack of Inet for the past year...made it a bit difficult to get blogging weekly...
THE HOT LIST:
1) Who Starts at QB?
2) How bad is cheating in College Football
1. We begin with what I feel is likely a very hot button topic this fall in Cornhusker Land. Taylor Martinez dazzled last season with his speed. He reminded us of the glory years of when Eric Crouch and Tommie Frazier used their blistering speed to reek havoc against opposing teams. For the past 10 plus years our fan base has sorely missed that. We bet it all on him last season, and when his ankle took a beating our hopes and dreams died on that bum ankle. He never was the same caliber player for the rest of the season after that. I feel that it was a dirty play by Missouri...couldn't put it past them...
He returns this season with increased hope and optimism. Husker fans simply just want a guy who can produce points and be a compliment to our defense. You can't argue that the offensive woes for the past 2 seasons have cost us a conference championship. He'll be pushed by redshirt freshman Brion Carnes. He simply didn't do anything special but dazzle in a glorified scrimmage in front of 60,000 people. I'm not totally sold that he'll be the answer this fall...
But either way...one of these two guys must decide to become the player and leader this new offense needs to take Nebraska to the Rose Bowl in 2011.
2) CHEATING....You simply just can't get away from in today...the NCAA has discovered that there is a major major problem in College Football with runner's, agents, cash, and recruiting services that are plaguing the sport. I think they could turn the other cheek if it was smaller schools getting into trouble, but when you have high profile programs like Oregon, North Carolina, LSU, and Ohio State finding themselves with major violations of the rules...something has be done to fix it.
For years we have joked that the NCAA was really going to be serious and never drop the hammer...then we were proved wrong by how they handled USC with just one player....now we all have our heads scratching about what will happen with Ohio State when the feeling in the air is that its truly not as bad as it seems...sound fair???
Why can't there just be some consistency in handling these violations...it seems that when we wanna drop the hammer...the NCAA doesn't wanna do that....for what reasons I'm still scratching my head why...
This is why teams continue to attempt to break the rules....b/c with no uniform punishment system...they just hope to cross their fingers and hope that they get a Ohio State fan that serves on the committee...
Something's gotta change...or it will only get worse...
