no, you are right, we did corner the market on losing in the 70's and 80's....BUT we have beat NU 5 of the last 7 years!
thing I have trouble with is this "gracious fans" notion people have of Nebraska....in Manhattan an old lady flipped me off when I yelled to "run it up" on the Huskers....
plus when we beat NU in Lincoln, Bo Pelini called Snyder an asshole!
we beat thenm by 31....worst defeat in Lincoln in many many many years....
the average point difference in Manhattan in the 80s was 46 or so!
so, I guess you could say I have some problems with Nebraska.
On the other hand I think Tom Osborne wwas one of the classiest coaches ever, the knee he had them take on the one after dismantling Florida for the title, his passion for kids, his humblness, are great character flaws to have!
And I used to love to watch them play, the Makavicka boys were so fun to watch rumble up the middle.......
I think the youngest Makavicka boy is leaning to KSU......man I hope so!!!!!

Knaus Ejected from 2006 Daytona 500 Activities UPDATE 2 Hendrick Responds: NASCAR announced today that NASCAR Nextel Cup Series crew chief Chad Knaus has been ejected from any further participation in 2006 Daytona 500 activities as a result of a rules infraction discovered following pole qualifying runs Sunday. Knaus is the crew chief for the #48 Lowe's Chevy driven by Jimmie Johnson. NASCAR said the #48 car failed post-qualifying template inspection in the rear window area [had a device installed that raised the rear window after pre-aualifying inspection]. The qualifying time posted by the #48 was disallowed and Johnson will have to start at the rear of the field in the first of two 150-mile qualifying races Thursday. The qualifying time of the #96 DLP Chevy driven by Terry Labonte was also disallowed. NASCAR officials said an unapproved carburetor was found on the 96 car. Labonte will also have to start from the rear of the field in Thursday’s qualifying races. Additional penalties for both cars will be determined following the Daytona 500.(NASCAR PR)(2-13-2006)
UPDATE: Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick today responded to NASCAR sanctions levied against crew chief Chad Knaus following Sunday's Daytona 500 post-qualifying inspection at Daytona International Speedway. "We understand NASCAR's position," Hendrick said. "Our expectations for the team remain high. It's a deep, championship-caliber group and they'll step up this weekend." Darian Grubb, lead engineer for the #24 and #48 Hendrick Motorsports teams, will immediately assume Knaus' at-track duties in preparation for the Feb. 19 Daytona 500. "It's obviously disappointing to miss the biggest race of the year, but I'm confident in Darian and the rest of my teammates," Knaus said. "There's been a lot of effort put into the Daytona 500 and I know the team will be successful with the support they'll receive from the entire organization."(Hendrick Motorsports PR)(2-13-2006)
UPDATE 2: Knaus cannot appeal the deci-sion, and Darian Grubb, the lead engineer for Johnson and Jeff Gordon's teams, will assume Knaus' duties at the track in preparation for Sunday's race. This is the seventh time Knaus has been fined and/or suspended by NASCAR for infractions on one of his cars. The first two came in 2001 when he was working on Stacy Compton's car. The other five have come with Johnson. He has been fined a total of $74,250, and this is the third suspension he will serve. Knaus also was suspended two races and fined $35,000 last March at Las Vegas when Johnson's race-winning car was found to be too low. He appealed the suspension, and NASCAR overturned it but put him on 90 days probation and kept the fine and the 25-point docking. In September at Dover, Johnson's car failed postrace inspection but later passed on a second attempt. NASCAR did not punish the team but did rewrite a rule about shock absorbers that Knaus had found a way to work around.(Richmond Times Dispatch)(2-14-2006) |
Looks liek he has yet to learn how to walk that envelope of NASCAR rules..Daddy always said if you keep geting caught you need to stop trying to cheat cuz you aint any good at it.
I still have yet to pick a new driver so not sure Looks like Labonte & Petty are going to be good match.
I really dont have anything against Gordon. He is a good racer and talented. I dont like his whinning and feel there has been too much Media attention given to him over other talented drivers. Its sad when they Ignore the Champion to talk to Gordon.........which happened a few years ago.
There have been very few drivers I HATE ....the ones who put other drivers at risk over and over again I dont like. Ricky Craven is one who pops into mind. Robby Gordon is another.

you take 4 wide at 200 MPH heading into a turn at Daytona, and man, there ain't no other place I would want to be !!! I get goose bumps just thinking about it!!!!
Say a t-shirt that really sums up the Jeff Gordon feelings...
"if the world was fair, old #3 would still be turning left, and we sure would miss Jeff Gordon"
Katrina, I was not implying you were a squaker fan......just pointing out my true feelings for KU.
as for a positive Kansas sport, I think I would rather sit and watch a good high school 8-man football game any day. it just don't get much better on a friday night in the fall.
