Beck wasn't even the playcaller at tOSU this year so he certainly wasn't responsible for the clusterfrick that was the poor calling for the Clemson game. Between Beck, Wariner, & Meyer there were WAY too many chefs in the kitchen for the tOSU offense this past season and that falls on Meyer.

Beck also greatly improved Nebraska's PPG & YPG during his time there.

And he's a great recruiter and has been tOSU's lead in Texas the past few seasons to great results (Dobbins, Browning, etc).

Finally, this is Herman's Offense that Beck (who already has a great working relationship with Herman) is simply going to run to HC's specifications.

Was this a great hire? Probably not. A good one? Almost certainly.
If they didn't choke away the Big Ten title game to Ped State, they'd have nothing to worry about. No one to blame but themselves.

Damn, how did that NC State WR take that screen 55 yards for a TD against all that SEC speed? Inconceivable!!!
Strong is getting fired this AM with a press conference scheduled around noon to announce it and then the Texas brass is meeting with Herman in the afternoon in Austin.

If that holds to form (granted things can always change), it looks like Coach O is your guy.
He wrote a great article about LeBron before the NBA season and showed that he's still an entertaining read. I'm rooting for his TV show ratings to continue to bomb so that he will be forced to come back and write some more. Articles & Podcasts = Good, TV Show & Running the Ringer = Bad.
Damn, Cleveland Sports living the good life right now. Well, the better life.

Im sure you would be pissed off too if your school had a CCG stolen from them the way the Huskers did in 2009. Texas is why the Big 12 is gonna fold and to be honest they get what they deserve, they let those frickers in Austin have too much power and the ruined it.
Yeah and I'm sure your level of butthurt has nothing to do with the fact that Nebraska was one of if not the best program in CFB at the start of the Big 12 and y'all limped out of the conference as a mediocre program with a 1-9 record vs Texas during your stint in the Big 12.

There's good shooters, great shooters, elite shooters, the best shooters of all time, and then whatever the hell Steph Curry is.

Don't feel great about it but that's my feeling.
Heh, oh Demarcus. Never change.
And then there is this report from the gameplay director of NBA2k yesterday:
quote:

In an interview with Forbes, Mike Wang, the gameplay directer of the immensely popular NBA 2K video game series, says Curry has forced the game’s production team to change its approach to how the game is designed.

“To be completely honest, we are still looking for ways to better translate his game into NBA 2K,” Wang says “He’s a ‘rule breaker’ when it comes to jump shooting … he becomes a problem in the video game world where we’ve been trying to train our gamers [to know] that certain types of shots should be rewarded versus others.”

There are good shooters, great shooters, elite shooters, the best shooters in NBA History, & then finally, Steph Curry.
Broke the NBA record for consecutive games with a made 3-pointer (128 tonight). Who knows how long he'll stretch that record. You could tell me he'd put that number in the 300's & I wouldn't be even close to surprised.
There have been worse throws in Football History but not many.
Doesn't bother me in the least. This was a completely lost season when Romo went down & we couldn't do anything without them. Let either of them succeed while we hopefully suck and lose the final 2 games for a better draft pick.
