You call it stirring the pot. I call it a reality check.
Better get used to it. When we officially come into your conference and start playing games you can automatically put a mark in your yearly loss column and expect more husker posters showing up here. Don't like it? Don't log on. It's a message board, dude.

I always thought of DJK as a "slot type" possession receiver. He doesn't have the height of McNutt of similar recievers & doesn't have overwhelming speed, per say. But, I do think he does a decent job of finding holes & sitting down in them to receive a pass. He seems to have quickness to enable him to be elusive to find holes. I don't think he likes contact too much & does work to avoid it. He's not so much a punishing type of receiver.
He can break away downfield at times, but I don't think it is so much his overall downfield speed. I think it is more his quickness to cause the d-backs to break coverage then he finds an open downfield.
The best attributes DJK can have are his quickness, elusiveness & running good routes. These are what will make him succeed. Just my thoughts.

You mean present day where we are an obviously better team than the hawks? Fine by me. Game on.

Are you flipping serious?????????? Are you comparing Arkansas to UNI????????????????????
Ya its a "Hawkeye" message board, and when people like you show up it's pretty unfortunate. It's unfortunate b/c you add nothing positive or relative to the conversations that "we" enjoy talking about when it comes to Hawkeye sports. It's unfortunate for you and now the rest of the Big 10 conference that 95% of you Husker fans are as arrogant and blinded as you are. As for that "reality" check you're referring to, well, you "hsukre" fans will have plenty of "reality" checks come next fall!! In the mean time since Nebraska obviously has nothing else for you to do other than talk ****, carry on I guess and build it up a little more, so that victory is ever more sweet next fall!

Wow. A hawk fan referring to someone else as arrogant. Classic. You guys just HATE it when someone doesn't love your team, don't you? It's kinda sad, actually.

I'm no Cowherd fan, but his comments should be looked at in perspective. This was a bit on "who will get to the National Championship" game. He had IOWA among the Top 5 they were looking at...Texas, VaTech, tOSU, Iowa and Bama. That's hardly an insult. (He picked tOSU and a surprise Boise St)
And though some of it is a tired cliche' (big ten teams are plodding and unexciting) he does make a point. With a more dynamic attack, we beat tOSU last year and some of those other games aren't so close. We've discussed this ad-nauseum, but KFz's teams often lack that killer "spark"
I do think that "bang bang" offensive kill is exactly what we need to jump to that Championship level. If we don't see it this year with a Sr QB and the likes of DJK, McNutt and Davis at WR...will we ever?

Nebraska would not have beat Iowa last year. Welcome to a league that plays defense by more than two teams.
I like how every argument from other fans always goes back to the UNI game which was the first game of the season.
But, then fail to recognize that Iowa beat Penn St (night game & nationally televised), Wisconsin, & Mich St all on the road. Then go to Ohio St (another nationally televised game for Big10 championship) & play into overtime with them with a back-up freshman QB making his first start.
Iowa had the toughest rated schedule by far over any of the teams rated above them by the computers.
JERK!!
Oh, just another side note, Iowa beat the Big12 opponent Iowa St, who Nebraska couldn't seem to handle at HOME.
Nebraska, you are not back yet, so just don't act like you are already. Stay in check. Succeeding in the Big10 is not going to be as easy as you think. I think the coaches realize this, I just don't think the fans do.
Oh, let's add in the Orange Bowl win over G Tech with Iowa stopping that daunting triple-option elusive ground attack.

Plus, the reality is... our OL is an unproven commodity at this point in time. Have confidence they'll do well, but they just haven't proven they are NC caliber. Yet...

If kickoff return average and two pass plays are our definition of "explosive offense", you just made his point for him.

I can handle truth. Let me know when it comes out. Because comparing UNI to Arkansas is just stoopid. Period. And any normal person would recognize that. But then again, I'm on hawk message board, so I can see why you'd compare the razorbacks to the panthers and think they're on equal footing.
