Nebraska's secret: blitz the phuk out of Texas' OL. Wow. Amazing. They didn't do anything special except get pressure on the QB. And no, I didn't catch anywhere in that game where they were talking about Nebraska's coaches helping Alabama's gameplan.

They did talk about it, pretty clearly actually. All they said is that Saban and his staff had visited with Pelini and his staff about their game against Texas. If you think it was as simple as "they didnt' do anything special except get pressure on the QB", then you should go to your first Alabama game as the new head coach, because you must be smarter than Saban.

You think teams haven't tried to "just get pressure" on McCoy all year? That obviously doesn't work all by itself. You have to take Shipley out of the short passing game, keep McCoy from running free during your pressure (he did lead their team in rushing last year), etc. There is obviously an infinite amount more to it than you and I can see while watching a game. It's a fact that Saban talked to Pelini. It means nothing. Coaches do it every year.

Rich Rodriquez used to practically host coaching schools when he was at West Virginia. He had visits from 5-6 staffs every year during the off-season to pick his brain about how they zone block and how they run their spread, etc. It happens everywhere, all the time...yes, even in "undefeated-ville", home of the bakers-dozen national championships.

That was from the 28th, on the 29th is when the dad said the press conference for Thursday was off for now. He said they were still looking over everything.

He ended it with..."But we will give everyone 48 hours notice of when and where the press conference will be. Once that happens, we will put on a gag order until Cam announces."

They could still do it today, but it would be a surprise based on what the dad just said on Tuesday. My guess is that they announce today that the press conference will be Saturday (48 hours notice). Who knows, I just hope we get him, today or Saturday or whenever.

Nebraska didn't blitz Texas, that much. Their front four were the ones that got the pressure on Colt all night...some of them were coverage sacks. And yes they did talk about Coach Sheban begging the Nebraska defensive coaches to hand over information...Third Quarter.

This is exactly why I went to the line of comments I went to in the first place. I've heard plenty of your bullshit over time, and I knew EXACTLY where you were about to go with that. Thats fine if they talked. Lots of coaches do, even I myself have said that. But BEGGING them to hand over information? You're full of shit. Oh, but I bet it was actually said tongue in cheek. So, you actually didn't mean it. Right?

For those interested, I was told to watch ESPN at 5 pm EST (I think EST), that AUburn fans would be pleased.

5pm ET would put it at the Halftime of the Texas Bowl (Navy v. Missouri).

Here's something interesting....Army, Navy & the Air Force can have unlimited players on the roster, they don't have the 85 NCAA mandated limit.

I've been watching the 3 Stooges marathon on AMC. Moe hit Curly on the head with a sledehammer. I've always admired his management skill.

Skreet failure...post Oklahoma game?

If so, one would have to read negatively into the timing...

djsimp · « **Reply #135 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:24:58 PM »

No skreet failure, it just wasnt televised like I was told. What was televised you say? Cameron Newton commits to AUburn!

We signed a hotshot kicker but he has already been labeled a basket-case. Could it be the holder's fault?

Interesting. Anytime an AU prospect or commit has a bad performance, any excuse can be found to smooth it over. If it were an Alabama prospect or commit, there would be post after post talking about how he sucks. They mentioned him missing alot and said the holds looked fine, so maybe he was having an off day. Maybe the holder was using his jedi mind tricks. Maybe Parkey farted right after the ball was snapped.

I agree that Cody was a little off yesterday. But, you do realize that it doesn't take that much to cause the kick to be a little off, a slight tilt will cause the kick to be off...and that's when the Snapper (Dakota Moseley) and the Placekick Holder are in sync. If they aren't in sync, then that will throw the kicker's timing off, usually causing the kicks to be off.

The 1st FG attempt was tipped at the line. The 2nd was misshandled by the Placekick Holder causing him to pick the ball up and try to run it. The 3rd was off because of the snap by Dakota and the hold being off sync, causing Cody to check up before he attempted the kick. All of those issues are very, very easy to correct.

First thing, this was Cody Parkey's first time to kick not using a block. Secondly, they had two days to practice the timing between the snapper, the holder and the kicker.
