New Season

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to Husker Football!  This will be the start of the Pelini era and things are looking great.

We have 3, count 'em 3, QB's who could start for pretty much any team in Division 1 right now.

We have 4 running backs who will have a year under their belts and will all see quality playing time.

The receivers are a question mark.  

Defensively, things are looking up.  After the fiasco that was the 2007 season, the D is looking for redemption.  Under Bo's tutalage the guys are looking and sounding hungry to earn back the Blackshirts, in title and in respect, that were missing from last years squad.

spring game

What a beautiful day in Huskerland in what was probably the most anticipated game in years. The Red guys against the White guys. The stadium was packed for the first time in team history for a Spring "Practice".

The feelings in the stands when the team came out to do pregame drills was crazy. It was a dawn of a new era, with new players in the mix, which made it a lot of fun. Watching Adi Kunalic kicking field goals from 40+ yards through the uprights and over the net was incredible. Watching Dan Tichener kicking 50 yard punts was pretty cool too. Then the coaches hit the field. The whole place erupted when Coach Pelini took the field. It happened again when T.O made his way to the field. You could feel the excitement that is Husker Football take hold of the crowd.

End of an era

Brett Favre has called it quits. 

I have been a huge fan ever since he put on the Green jersey, and so have the rest of my family.  I have enjoyed his play, his intensity, and the love of the game that many players do not share.  In an era of "Me", or "what have you done for me lately" players, it has been refreshing to watch a player who is all about the team first.

He's the holder of every measurable record in NFL history.  He has won 3 NFL MVP awards (consecutively), He has the best winning percentage in his 17 years in the league of any team during that period.
