Kevin Cosgrove was on my flight from Denver to Omaha today, wonder what he doing these
days? I think I was the only one who knew who he was, he had a nice Rose Bowl leather jacket
on? I was shocked to see him, he was pretty much ran out of town after the 2007 season debacle.

DC at New Mexico. I think he still has some family in the area but I could be wrong. Family member knew him when he was in Lincoln and said he's a good guy. Recruiting somebody from Omaha or Iowa Western? The guy has a good reputation as a recruiter.

As bad as our defense was under him, I think our defense last year may have been worse.

Ouch! That is saying a lot.

Watched a New Mexico game for a while this year and his D was about the same. He blitzed like crazy and would guess right and get a lot of stops and then give up some really big ones. Brought back memories, bad ones.

Oof. Flashbacks of what Jamaal Charles did to us in the 4th quarter in 2007 in Austin.

I've heard Mac brown bring up that game in his broadcasts saying that was the craziest defense he's ever coached against. Basically full blitz every play.

I was at the game sitting in the NU "visitor's section". Great game for a looong time. We did about the only thing we could do and IT WOULD HAVE WORKED IF we would have had viable options to give our DBs and LBers a blow. We just ran out of gas in that 4th qtr. Beautiful day. Beautiful setting for their stadium and the UTerus fans were very hospitable. Fun times with unfortunately a bad ending. Texas was loaded on offense and Cosgrove nearly pitched a winner. I loved that aggressive game plan. They had MULTIPLE long time NFL players on that offense.

What really hurt Cosgrove was the fact that the practices under Callahan were no contact without shoulder pads. The 2007 schedule was also a killer schedule.

The underlying problem they had that last year was the subterfuge taking place by some former players. We had several guys with family members on the defense and other former Huskers telling starting defensive guys things different than Cosgrove was trying to have them play. It made for a lot discontent.

So what is Tracy up to now? Her porn movies were banned because she was under legal age when they were made. She came back and did one porn movie when she was of legal age (got paid huge bucks). Then did regular movies after that - including Cry-Baby.

If we would have found a way to beat Texas in 2007, Tom would NOT have fired Callahan. Tom hated Texas enough that Billy C would have survived with a W
