Hating on the $EC - Mostly Alabama (and a little Georgia too)

I think he will have to fight hard for RB3 this year. The year after depends on whether Bo and/or Damien declare early. If both go early, him, Jacobs, Emmons, Robinson, and a few others will battle it out, and Najee can make his mark his soph and junior year.

I could say the same thing about all the DL and OL Michigan has recruited lately.. They'd play at UNL next year

[WM Wolverine]

WR's & TE's too.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man,
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage:
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let it pry through the portage of the head,
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide;
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English,
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought,
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument.
Dishonour not your mothers: now attest,
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture: let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and upon this charge,
Cry 'God for Harry! England! and Saint George!'

You guys survived a giant bullet avoiding Rich Rodriguez. Holy crap it might be the greatest what ifs of all time.

What time to the cocktails start/started AA?

Lord willing NU ever made it this far before I turn 60, it would qualify as an all-day affair of libations.

[AlabamAlum]

I don't drink before a game. I have to be clear-headed to coach the team from afar.

[hack]

For me, it depends on if I feel they need me clear-headed or not.

[Wild Hoss]

These are not issues that Nebraska fans are concerned with, so we can get drunk as hell.

"Don't throw it!", "For the love of God, tackle the son of a bitch!" and the like do not require unclouded judgment.

[AlabamAlum]

Well, maybe you need to do it my way and you'd have better luck vs the Vols.

Drunkest I've ever been inside Michigan Stadium, though, was M/Nebraska in 2011. The 41-17 game, or whatever it was, when you guys just friggin sucked to high hell. I count that game as an extreme example of synergy between me and the team.

Screaming when the FB runs the ball also requires little sobriety too

Drunker than Mary Sue Coleman?

[WingsFan]

lol the team - the team - the team!

Initially they handed me the mike, actually, and I said ``Let me have my sober friend say a few words in my stead.''
