Apparently Pelini asked UCF for the game film.

That's what I heard too, but then I saw this.

Bo Pelini said Tuesday that he did not know of Nebraska requesting film from Central Florida of its game with Ohio State, but said again that the Huskers have had no trouble with the film it received from the Buckeyes.

?I don?t know anything about that, but we do that a lot, as far as getting film from other opponents and that type of thing,? Pelini said on the Big Ten teleconference. ?We didn?t have any issues with the film exchange.?

Sounds like we've done this before and somebody just happened to hear about it this week, and then made a mental connection with the whole Michigan State thing that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what's going on.

I'm sure it's just because the rails aren't what they used to be. Colored film on the new reels has come a long way for NE. (BTW they love them some Bobby Jones.) :tongue2:

Saturday can't get here soon enough

Crazy stat on Twitter - Ohio State has only played 10 home night games in school history (all since 1985). They won the first 6, but have lost 3 of the last 4.

I would have guessed more than 10 night games over the last 27 years.

One way to make lots of friends on this site is to bring up the '05 Texas game, the '08 Penn St game, and the '09 USC game.

:hatepc:

I just unfriended you.

That's what I've heard down here as well. However the one caveat is that most of the complaints I've heard were from older alumni, some of whom I've heard don't like it when people stand in front of them at the games at home...

Well, those are the people who can typically afford to travel to a big OOC game. They still shouldn't be treated like [Mark May] because they happened to grow up in a different part of the country and root for a different team.

To the others. Read this thread on ShaggyBevo then get back to me about what gracious hosts our fans were to Texas fans. Or do a search on the site and look at the multitude of similar threads after the game in 2005.

Back to the Nebraska game.

I see that the spread is now down to 3.5, in favor of the buckeyes. Essentially a pick-em. I think Ohio State is getting 3/4 of the action.

I have noticed there are a lot of Cornhusker fans on this board.... Being a born and bred Colorado fan, I dislike NU (N on the helmet stands for nowledge) almost as much as tsun.... I do have to say, I respect that those that have visited our board have posted with class for the most part....

If you are a Husker fan, bookmark this post.... I am tipping my hat.... just this one time....

I think it seems like more because late afternoon kickoffs in late October and November end up finishing under the lights. The two recent ones that stick out to me are the '06 tsun and '07 Illinois games.

I mean TCU fans are about the nicest people we have in this state. UT fans I think could handle what happened because we're used to being envied/bashed/treated like $#@! at some venues (I'm looking at you UCF). But those poor TCU folks are gonna think, "Hey, it's the biggest city in Ohio. I'm sure there's lots of culture to see and things to do. And I bet a big program like this is used to being an A+ host to other folks outside their conference. I mean, we're not MIchigan fans-how bad can they be?"

I wore a blue shirt to that game. I had a UT hat on and so did my buddy, but no orange. We ditched our hats during the game. I saw an arsonist start a fire east of campus, I saw a UT family of 5 get pushed to the ground. We had a knife pulled on us. We had more chest bumps and more "what's up bro? what the $#@! bro?" than I care to remember. we were refused service by a bus and 2 cabs. We had bottles of water and then beer thrown at our heads. the girl next to us had gum put in her long blonde curly hair. And I was asked to fight at least a half-dozen times. And I'm pretty sure my buddy and I (we were both married and he had children so we weren't exactly looking to make trouble, just wanted to win and get home safely) were threatened physically and offered to fight at least a dozen times between 7:00p and midnite. the only good news aside from the win is that our wives weren't with us. Growing up near Chicago, I visited the south side 1000 times (my dad's business was there). I have been to corners of Mexico, Central America, and Appalachia that would make you sick to your stomach just hearing about them. I have lived near the slums of Oakland, visited family/friends near the roughest parts of Hialeah/Miami, woke up in Compton, and seen the $#@!ty parts of New Jersey, Cleveland, Detroit, and Milwaukee at an age when most Texans thought that Astroworld was in a 'dirty' area. And the most I ever felt in danger of losing my life was in Columbus, Ohio. Every time I read threads like this, I remember just how insane it was. It is still very hard for me to come to terms with just how insane a small number of Americans seemed to me, how threatened for my life I was by a small band of people who probably shopped at Target the very next morning.

Yikes! Sorry but I was shocked and disappointed when I read this and felt compelled to comment. I hope you guys are making an effort to turn this behavior around. My reasoning isn't along the lines of "you should be classsy like Nebraska fans" it is "you should be classy because you are tOSU". You have too much of a tradition to let these buffoons trample it. To me, behavior like that shows a lot of disrespect for college football and your program. tOSU is a very successful program and I would expect their fans to act accordingly. When attending games in Lincoln, I would not hesitate to confront fellow fans when they are acting inappropriately. I would approach them in a reasonable, non-angry manner with the explanation that you would prefer that type of behavior not be associated with your program and college football in general. Start by letting them know you appreciate the enthusiasm for the team- but treating opposing fans poorly is not the right way to do it. The players will speak for you on the field so trash talking is meaningless. Points like that should at least give them something to think about. I'm 6'5" 250 lbs so my words might carry more weight but something to keep in mind when considering my suggestion. GBR!!!

Turn what around?

Were there some incidents that night that were over the line? Sure

Is the guy that wrote that a big, fat liar? No doubt about it.

Most college fan bases should behave better than they do, but hyperbole like this is the intellectual equivalent of racism.

EDIT: OK, OK

People have read WAY too much into this. Ohio State's fan base is worse than most. Nowhere in this did I say otherwise.

If you can't see that the guy that wrote the screed is lying; then you're naive to the point of pathetic stupidity.

If that wasn't your point, then you just put words in my mouth. Whatever.

"When it was suggested that lots of folks have a soft spot for their alma mater, Pelini said he once did ? but not anymore."

He Who Walks Behind The Rows has taught Mark the proper path.

Unfortunately college students loaded with alcohol makes it hard to guarantee that. That's why I apologized in advance.
