What's the good ol Coach Sherman got to say about it?

:12:03 p.m., Monday: Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman said on the Big 12 teleconference that the Saturday night incident involving Aggies defensive lineman Tony Jerod-Eddie and Nebraska tight end Ben Cotton has been addressed but that the consequences would be kept between the two.

Sherman said Jerod-Eddie would play Thursday night against Texas.

Cotton recovered a first-quarter fumble, then was penalized for a personal foul and unsportsmanlike conduct after the play was completed. Video circulated immediately after the game that showed Jerod-Eddie involved in some extracurricular activity in the pileup that resulted in Cotton’s reactions.

Sherman said Jerod-Eddie admitted to what he had done and was “remorseful about it.”

“I said that’s not what we’re about and he agreed,” Sherman said.


Nice job coach...good to see he's remorseful and good to see you didn't suspend him for at least one game? You sir are a faggot who shouldn't be allowed to coach the game.

Let's see now..... Rex Burkead nearly gets his head twisted off by an ISU player last week.....Nebraska gets a personal foul.

Cotton gets molested by an A&M player and Nebraska gets 30 yards in penalties because Cotton was trying to protect himself with a natural reaction to the DESPICABLE act by the A&M player...the same fucker who Sherman's going to let play on.

NU linebacker Eric Martin gets suspended for a game for "hitting too hard" and also picks up two personal fouls on the kick team during touchbacks against A&M? Why in the fuck isn't the Big 12 doing what that fag Sherman won't do? Suspend him! At least one game. Martin's helmet to helmet wasn't intentional and the ball was still live...this guy deliberately put his hand up Cotton's ass at the end of a play and later ADMITS to it? Beyond laughable!

Keep piling up the evidence Beebe.... when the NCAA steps in and wins start being vacated and half the Big 12 front office gets fired including you it's going to be nearly as sweet as when Pelini, Osborne, and Pearlman pick up this years Big 12 trophy and demand last year's Big 12 trophy as well.

SWC!SWC!SWC! SWC! SWC! this shit's getting funny now

Funny how things have a way of evenin' out...



No flag thrown on that play.



...or on this one either.

'Course, ever'body knows that the Big Ten crew workin' the game had it in for Ol' Mizzou. Guess I missed the thread where all us Tiger fans logged in here the next day and bitched about it. Seems we gave our props and took our ass whuppin' for what it was....

Here's a hint, Loser: Might wanna try scorin' more points next time.

Sixteen Flags Over Texas A&M suggests your hotheads ain't all that big on rules anyway.

Different day, same old Husker whine.

You're like the abused housewife who says she's tired of getting beat but keeps coming back for more.

jesus, is this the sort of shit we're going to have to begin putting up with next year? what will the angle be then, that the refs are protecting the conference blue hairs?

i wonder for you guys. NU fan has been a sanctimonious bitch for 6 months and more than a little bit revisionist about the whole "Callahan Era". Some of our posters were defending that clown when OU fan (the back-stabbing, former brother) was telling them this guy isn't right for you. but, high on the forward pass....

and this is crazy stuff. the conference is pulling strings to fuck over Nebraska so they miss a BCS bowl for money reasons. Beebe makes Darth Vader look like a 7-11 manager in Huskerland.

i've seen with my own eyes the changing nature of the NU fanbase from going to OU games in the late 70's and 80's to the dark side of "cut my teeth" in the Osborne 90's Husker fans....during my time in Boulder. I used to pull for NU against Colorado every time until about 5 years ago. NU has some massive dickheads and real pompous morons who will tell you in response to "i'm an OU fan": "we kicked your ass, too". next to his kids.

CU fan is not ever going to make any "Greatest" list but the McCartney era people have matured and they don't pissbomb your gramma in Husker gear anymore. They deserve a bad rap as "not knowledgeable", frontrunners when they win, and were obnoxious into tomorrow when they were winning. but, they have a nice core of fans who "get it". Huskers can't seem to lose with grace, ever. there's always something. now, it's a conspiracy or a scapegoat with a hilarious veneer of sanctimony. get over it. get over this idea that you proved something "important" and "virtuous" to the rest of the league....because you are going out like a bitch. embarrassed for you.

the 90's Husker fans is sort of like Texas Tech fan but with winning. Obnoxious, vexed because no one else thinks they are "cool". i would suggest that Nebraska fan has handled their stint of mediocrity FAR WORSE than OU or Texas or Bama or USC or Michigan. from my experience.

If it makes you feel any better, I regularly root against OU in about every game except for Texas.

Will we whine like this next year? Good question. I would have to think that it's up in the air. From what I've seen, there's plenty of controversy to go around in the Big 10, too over the years. This year is almost comical, though.

As an example, in the A&M game, Eric Martin got called for two UC penalties on a kick off. The first one I've watched several times. He barely touches one guy and then no one else. The flag gets called. Bo goes nuts because he's thinking, "Who in the hell did he hit?"

Also, as I've explained before, it's the calls that aren't made that drive me crazy this year. Gabbert gets sacked, fumbles the ball, NU recovers and it's rule as 'forward progress stopped'. Say what? They're just making stuff up. I expect the non calls on the other side every game and it's comical when it happens. Last three games: NU opponents got flagged 6 times combined. That's got to be a record. Two per game on average?

i could care less what you think. you've proven yourself to be a whiny bitch. the closer you get to the top again, the more you whine you lose.

it's pretty sad. i think NU fan as a group could make a strong run for board bitch. the whole summer of whining about OU choosing UT as a "rival". blaming the BIg XII office for conspiratorial bad officiating with a purpose. the irrational nonsense to defend losing, Pelini as an ass, his brother as a total ass (banging booster wife and knocking over some half-ass website camera-man).....some classy shit you are acting all persecuting to defend. really?

Truman,

Note how the play is still live and that facemask in particular, is part of the game.

Now watch THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yma1OmKd5Os

The facemask by the ISU player is a tad bit different wouldn't ya say? Note how it's the same crew, same official, missing the proper call. Note how the victims' team gets the penalties.

As for the rest of you calling into question Nebraska fan in general....I laughed. Your fanbase will never be Nebraska's equal on so many levels. Most importantly....undying support and heartfelt adoration.

Bo Pelini has a weakness that needs to be addressed and that is not keeping his emotions in check even when his student-athletes are being robbed by grown men with no integrity or honor.

Bo Pelini cares that much for his kids and the program. He has tremendous respect from his players and they are growing into young men who will walk through fire to win for their coach. Be afraid. This program is on the rise and once it escapes the corruption it will thrive even more. Shit calls are a part of the game....blatant corruption and impropriety have no place in it.

The remainder of the 12 will suffer through its writhing death over the next 10 years...if that. The SWC didn't survive it and neither will this shit, corrupt conference.

Eat another Texas dick, bootlicker. You think anyone besides the same 9 posters give two shits about your threats? Stoops is collecting a fat check and the program is in decline. Too much Texas cock I suppose. Enjoy pillow-biters. You lost your sack and it's in Beebe's purse.

husker fan is melting hard.

Bizzarofelice wrote:husker fan is melting hard.

Not ashamed of it either. Husker fan is one of the most knowledgeable football fans in the country which makes this year, a year we still stand to achieve most of our goals, even tougher to stomach. Watch the videos. Read around on the internet. No honor in the Big 12 front office. Crooks.

You mean it's not just the male cheerleaders (or whatever those weirdos are) at A&M that are gay???

TheJON wrote:You mean it's not just the male cheerleaders (or whatever those weirdos are) at A&M that are gay???

Dunno about that...though bending over and doing the hump or whatever isn't too hetero looking. A&M players played their balls off against a better team and had the game given to them. They didn't win. Nebraska could have avoided this by scoring 45 points (21 of which would have been called back). Maybe a lesson has been learned about what it's going to take to win on the farewell tour. Somebody off Watson and we might have a chance.

KC, I have respect for Oklahoma, but I've never liked your fans. I went to school with an OU fan in the 80s. Jesus, he wouldn't shut up about how great the Sooners were. Every OU fan I've met has been about the same.

I agree NU fans are arrogant, but you're calling the kettle black. You guys are just as arrogant.

Well, I noted that play soon came to a screeching halt after Jared Crick decided to haul down Gabbert by his cage. I noted that the trailing zebra must’ve been winded from chasing Helu Jr. downfield all day, and inadvertently lost his flag in the resulting vapor trail. I also noted that there wasn’t a single TigerFan in here the next day bitching about it either.

BTW, you might want to note that flagging that facemask in particular is part of the game.

As for your boy having his head spun around like a JON post, I’m pretty sure that if he hadn’t been surrounded by half the Nebraska and Iowa Beef Council, the refs might’ve had a shot at making the call.

Moot point regardless. You fucking crybabies won that game, last I checked.

Well now that you mention it….

Conference Championships are ‘skergefan’s birthright, M-Club. Anything less could only be the result of conspiracy, corruption, or flat-out cheating. Tell me you knew.

See, Big Rid’s ejection from the XII is rooted in its formative history. Big shot programs like OU and Texas insisted that member schools break up into two divisions and then actually, well, play an extra football game for the conference championship every year, instead of just handing Nebraska the trophy and an automatic BCS bid. Well, that kind of outside-the-box thinking sure didn’t set very well with Dr. Tom or the Greatest Fans on Earth, and they’ve been looking to flee ever since.

Make your time, M-Club: This bunch is a fast study, and they’ll be quick to point out all the inequities of your system and tell you everything that The Ten is doing wrong.

Ever heard Nebraska fan bitching like this before? Open your eyes and if you're a true fan of the game you would cringe just like anyone who calls a spade a spade and sees it for what it is. This shit isn't a run of bad luck on shit calls. It's much more than that and you know it.

i never used the word arrogant to describe you guys. don't flatter yourself.

we have more NC's, lead the overall series. more conference championships. you've been mediocre this decade, we've been pretty good. save it for Mizzou fan. or Big Ten fan. and i don't think you need to worry about OU being in decline.....Sooners have a 5 star QB coming off redshirt and two very good classes that will be maturing...expect OU to have real chances at the NC the next 2-3 years. and not one of your 10-2 type woulda shoulda coulda "Bugeaters are back" (we really mean it, this time) chances.

You're such a booger-eating dumbass, this quote gives me all the comfort in the world that the Big XII will be just fine.

Now go get fitted for a new tin foil hat. You'll need it in the Big 10 where you'll start whining about Michigan and Ohio State being you new daddy.

You are still crying about this? Jesus. You had your chance to atone and couldn't get it done. Texas, who is having their worst season in the last 15 years, came to your house and beat you. I only wish Mack would have taken a timeout at the end of the game with :01 left and then trotted out the FG kicker to boot one through.....that would have been epic.

I have been coming to this board for a long time. I have only seen 3 equals to H4ever in the bitch category. I think we all know who Board Bitch 2010 is going to be and it is not a close race.

I watched the game and thought the officiating was horrible. It is just too bad that you didn't have Coach Herman Boone on the sidelines to help you.

in the 1 in 3 chance OSU just turtles at home because "We are OU" does actually happen (it's happened before), or the "good landry" who can't miss shows up and Venables dials up Weeden flat on his ass every down......get ready for the Big XII tiebreaker system to fuck the Ags. Because it goes to the BCS standings and I don't think you guys can jump OU after we beat OSU (if it happens)...even though Ags win head to head. i think the Ags best, cheatingest team in the Corrupt XII right now....but don't blame me if it happens.

i think the Pokes are due and anyone with a decent front 7 (or Bill Young as DC) can figure out a way to make Landry Jones make the mistakes. against good teams, OU just can't survive the steady diets of 3rd and 11's. no one can. OU gives up the big play like it's prom night in a dying steel town.

assuming the Ags go into DKR and win.

anyway, Indy, you had a laugh a little that the camera Carl Pelini went Tyson on was a texags.com cam....

We had our chance against Okie St. and blew it. We were up 21-7 at half and then they rattle off 4 TDs to take a 35-21 lead to which we rally and tie only to lose on a last second 40 yard FG in Stoolwater. We win that game and this conversation is moot. Likewise, we let Arkie take a win from us when we could have taken that game. A&M is where they are because of their own mistakes.

You won't hear me crying ala t.u.Fan if OU beats OSU and goes to the XII Championship game. I only ask that you beat the Cornfuckers. How fitting that the Big 3 in t.u., OU and A&M kick them in the nads on their way out the door?

Watch the game again, Preston. You didn't kick anyone in the nads. One of your boys tried to REMOVE someone's nads and your bitch coach Sherman later gave him a bj for a dirty job well done...but you didn't kick anyone's ass in the game.

You Nancy cocksuckers had a little/lot of help from Beebe's boys in stripes. Keep believin' that shit....it's how most pussies who are getting there asses kicked and then have a couple friends help them win sleep at night.

If there is a God...A&M and NU will play in the CCG somehow and then, on a national stage where they wouldn't dare again.....let's see how you fare. Scarey thought isn't it? You know what the results would be.

Watch now as Frisco makes a motion for board bitch and goes all Coach Sherman and offers to suck off anyone else who gets on board with the idea.

Bump-worthy column....

___________________

Mellinger: Nebraska fans’ anger mars Huskers’ Big 12 farewell

Nebraska football fans won’t like this column. Cold truths are hard to take, and a lot of Huskers fans are spending this farewell football season deflecting and misdirecting cold truths.

Too many of them just don’t understand why people in what’s left of the Big 12 are annoyed at them, the school, the fans and the coach. So they won’t like reading what’s to follow.

That’s OK. Folks in the rest of the Big 12 might not like this column, either. Because their truth is easier to explain and harder to take than Nebraska’s — with much worse potential consequences.

Let’s start with the part that Huskers fans won’t like.

They’re too self-important to see what’s going on in the lead-in to the final Big 12 championship football game between Nebraska and Oklahoma on Saturday night.

Huskers fans are imagining conspiracies against their team, convinced that anyone else’s dislike is code for jealousy of all Nebraska’s awesomeness. They’re completely oblivious that it’s not necessarily the decision to leave for the Big Ten that ticks people off.

People are ticked at how it’s happening.

“The ‘how’ situation is a fair thing,” says Tom Ruud, inducted to the school’s Hall of Fame as a linebacker.

The arrogance came from the very start. Nebraska folks hate it when that word is tied to their school, but it’s true. If history is any indication, Huskers fans will lash back at being called arrogant by e-mailing about how great they are.

Nebraska self-importance comes in constant references to past success, in seeing Big Ten acceptance as license to slam a group that’s been good enough for them for decades, and, most of all, in the inability to recognize that the whole thing is wrecking a reputation of class and dignity that took so long to build and promote.

For decades, Nebraska football and its fans stood for something. The rest of us mostly admired them, a program succeeding in a place it shouldn’t, a remarkable consistency and very real bond between players and the citizens who rooted them on. In so many ways, that’s ruined.

When asked if he cares, Nebraska booster Roger Brown said, simply: “No.”

With all respect, he knows that’s hard to believe.

Being a Huskers fan is engrained in that state’s DNA and personality in a way unlike any other place in the country.

They applauded the other team after games — win or lose — set an ongoing NCAA record for consecutive sellouts, and even if the narrative became exaggerated, Nebraska fans became thought of by many as decent people. Well-liked, even, in a way that Kansas and Missouri and Kansas State will probably never know.

That’s often a very good thing, but it’s also true that through all their winning and cheering, Nebraska fans never received much pushback. Now that it’s here, they have no idea how to handle it.

First, the administration blamed Texas and conference leadership. Then some fans blamed Mizzou and, in the last month or so, have come close to losing their collective sanity. They see the league’s suspension of a backup linebacker as proof of conspiracy, harass referees, flood the conference office with threats of violence, then whine when nobody shows up to present the North Division trophy.

Every school has some nutjobs, but c’mon, this is college football’s classiest fan base?

In other words, they’re not who they claimed to be. They’re a whole lot like everyone else.

Most of the rest of us aren’t mad they’re leaving. We’re annoyed they’re acting like jerks on the way out. We understand wanting more money. But don’t pretend there’s some higher calling that the rest of us just can’t comprehend.

In six months, they’ve changed how we’ll think of them forever. Forty million people live in the five states that make up the remaining league. We can’t all be wrong.

Those are the words Nebraska fans won’t like. Now, for the truth that makes the rest of us uncomfortable, the one with potentially terrible consequences:

Even after all this, we’d totally take the Huskers back.

Because without them, this is a lesser league that nobody can be certain will exist beyond the near future.

Nice article Truman....now let's go from yet another hack's jaded opinion to actual FACTS:
http://www.omaha.com/article/20101203/N ... s-to-beebe
How appropriate that a day before Nebraska plays its last game in this dying joke of a shady conference, its comissioner is exposed as a fool and a liar!

Dallas police say no investigation of Beebe threats
Dallas police now say they are not investigating alleged threats against Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe, although they are continuing to provide extra patrols by his family home.
A Dallas Police Department spokesman had said earlier this week that the agency was investigating a report of multiple harassing calls and mail to Beebe's home. But the spokesman, Sr. Cpl. Kevin Janse, said Thursday that was a mistake based on a misunderstanding by officers who had been flagged down by Beebe's wife.

She told the officers that the family had received threats and was concerned, Janse said. Police initially thought the messages had gone to Beebe's Dallas home, he said. They later determined that they had not gone to the family's home, but instead were received at Big 12 offices in nearby Irving, Texas, outside Dallas. Irving has its own police department.

Asked for a copy of the report from Beebe's wife, Janse said there was no written crime report.
Big 12 officials could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Earlier this week, Big 12 spokesman Bob Burda said the matter had been reported to “the authorities,” but declined to name the agency. He said he couldn't provide copies of the alleged threats because they were under investigation.

Beebe had told reporters that he received death threats from Nebraska football fans. He has said that's why he didn't travel to Lincoln on Nov. 26 to give the Big 12 North Division trophy to the Huskers after they won by beating Colorado.

A spokesman for the Irving Police Department said Thursday that the agency's records showed no reports involving Beebe.

A University of Nebraska-Lincoln spokeswoman, Kelly Bartling, said Thursday that the university works with a threat-assessment network, but had not heard from law enforcement authorities or the Big 12 about any investigation into the alleged threats.

“Our law enforcement has not received any contact about any threat, or any report that we are being asked to be involved in, or asked to investigate,” she said

Beebe, the dipshit/crook/liar/ra-tard, did what a lot of really, not-very-smart people who THINK they are smart do...he began talking. And his precious safety immediately came to mind to someone so incompetent and self-absorbed. And that little white lie, led to others, and with foot fully implanted in mouth he boxed himself into a corner with his lies. I don't honestly believe that this was some grand scheme to discredit NU and her people. It was simply, I think, a case of a moron shooting his mouth off and getting called on it. Sort of like the $25 Mil he promised aTm and the rest.

The bitch didn't have the sack to show up in Lincoln and get his just due. Coward. So now the B12 goes from 12 to 10 and no conference game! BEVO gets their own TV network while everyone else gets the shaft. Then these dopes have the gall to call out Nebraska for leaving this mess. If OU feels compelled to hitch the BOOMER wagon to BEVO.... be my guest. Lets see how long that love fest works for them now. I still believe that OU DOES NOT want to compete in the SEC where they will NOT be top dog... period. We made the best possible move considering all the other options which is exactly why BB BRAIN is so incensed at Nebraska.

oh yeah, the Omaha and Lincoln papers are well known for their factual, objective approach to NU football. One of the problems with NU fan is the Nebraska media (in the absence of any nearby, influential media market or an in-state or true border rival) is entirely insular and pro-NU perspectives are rarely if ever met with counter-narratives. So, what gets produced is a set of talking point dogma much like the ready-made "interpretation" of how Dr. Tom got over on the South and back-stabbing OU, the Big XII, Beebe, are all to blame for everything bad that ever happens to Nebraska.

With the innernet, and a ready influx of national media....NU fan doesn't know how to escape the hive-mind, boosterish agit-prop "journalism" they get fed by homer writers like Tom Shatel....so, their response to opposition is the sanctimonious path of all-purpose scapegoats like "conspiracies" or tell you how great they are. Shatel is writing the other day that at the formation of the Big XII, much like H4 above, this new husker "meme" that OU is afraid of competition so ducked out of playing NU every year. Shatel offers that OU didn't want to play UT and NU in the same season....as proof. Interesting argument insofar as OU had been playing both NU and UT every season for decades and won 6 NC's in that time frame....so, hard to really make that one stick. Also, as I note above, sort of hard to really take NU fan's perspective on rivalries too seriously since they don't have an in-state rival or a significant border rival....but, as usual, they are experts on everything these days.

as far as "competition" OU's OOC has consistently and always been much, much stronger than NU's (the pioneers of not playing a road game until the 2nd week in October). Always.
