CUH-L PICS! Very nice!
Keannu Reeves, Will Ferrell, Larry the C. Guy--I love those guys! Can live without Rush-I'm-not-hooked-on-prescription-meds-honest Limbaugh, though. Should've invited Stephanie Miller in that respect--yeah bay-beh!

I am a USC TROJANS fan living in Atlanta. I just want to say that I had a couple of friends that attended the game and they said that the Nebraska fans were very gracious and treated them with lots of class and respect. I only wish I could have made the trip to Nebraska, but a prior committment kept me away. I did watch the game....
What impressed me the most, was the Cornhusker fans not leaving and not booing the USC players from what I could tell on television.
My friends also confirmed that the fans did not boo usc and were just good people to be around. I only wish all fans could be that way...especially those in south bend indiana.
From this Trojans fan to the Husker nation..keep your heads up and we thank you for your hospitality and lets hope we meet again. Good luck the rest of the way and BEAT TEXAS!

Ronnie, if "stud" is defined as loading up on Viagra and hitting Central American brothels, then I suppose that yes, one might define Rush Limbaugh as a "stud."
In regards to the pictures, I have to say "bravo." For the most part they're clearer and show more action than either of the big two Nebraska newspaper shots. Can't wait to see more from future games.

See we have a few Rush fans here, that's scarey--nothing personal. He and O'Reilly can be flushed right down the sh%*&tter as far as I'm concerned--throw Hannity in there as well. But that's as political as I'm going here. "Wouldn't be prudent--prudent..."
Those really are good photos. Could have elaborated on the SC cheerleader shots though! But I suppose an over the hill guy in his 40's shouldn't be saying that about 20 yr old girls. :)

The pictures were great but the best part were the comments from Brett Shepherd the Trojan fan. No matter what happens with Big Red football, I hope we never loose two things, our reputation as good, respectful fans and our academic record. Those are both worth as much or more than winning football games. Those speak to the integrity of the whole Husker nation. GO BIG RED!

Nice photos, thanks for sharing them.

Those were AWESOME pics! I thought you'd have a pic of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas too, he was in attendence and is a HUGE Husker fan! Justice Thomas,Rush,Ward Connerly,and Larry the Cable Guy are great Americans and HUSKERS! Go BIG Red!!!

O.K. Rush haters out there, I challenge you to listen to his program and prove him wrong!
About the Huskers, the best way to fix all of the problems with Husker football is to fire Steve Peterson, everything else will take care of itself after that.
Why no pictures of the glamorous Husker cheerleaders?
I never realized how small Coach Callahan is. Pictures of him standing next to the lineman makes him look like a Hobbit!
ze Sep 19 07
Agree, get some pics of NE cheerleaders next time!

"O.K. Rush haters out there, I challenge you to listen to his program and prove him wrong!"
I've listened...I've laughed...his OPINIONS are whacked. I guess if a scant 20% (-ish) of Americans believe his flawed 'facts', go nuts. Rush's America doesn't really exist but whatever, I'm sure suckers are born every minute.
GBR! =)

Thanks for your encouragement folks. I'm glad that you like the photos. We'll be sure to get some shots of the NU cheerleaders for you next time. :)
I appreciate all of the first time visitors that are stopping by and the lively discussion. But, let me remind you that this is a Husker football site. If you'd like to discuss politics, please do so at a more appropriate site.
FYI, I removed a few comments that were off topic and one that was down right unneighborly. Here's our commenting guidelines if you need a refresher.
Thanks again for stopping by.
