Every year, Husker fans find reasons to be excited about the football season. And, without a doubt, at least in my mind, the Tanner Lee story is the reason for hope. This quarterback looks like a can't miss. He looked great in the spring game, but that performance has more anecdotal evidence than any other spring game performance. A great many football minds have said this kid is going to be good. And Lee came out of the Manning Passing Academy with the Mannings, Archie if I am not mistaken, saying that Lee was a better passer than Jared Goff. At the same time, I have feelings of trepidation. Remember all that was said when Mike Riley got here in the first place. A lot of Husker fans were thinking negatively. But the university supported talk soothed those nerves. Riley was a guy who had been around the world in about every kind of football. He would manage the roster right, manage the game right, put our guys in position to succeed and we would be successful right away. Most of that turned out to not be true as 5-7 would attest. We were also told that Riley would recruit great. Look at Penn State's current class. That's recruiting great. We have been backpedaling for sometime with this current class and we are out of the top 40. Coach Riley has yet to have that knockout class. This year, it's Lee. That's what we are hoping for. Oh sure, the defense is supposed to be improved under Bob Diaco, but there has to be a few rough patches for them, right? We don't have the ideal players to run this system and we couldn't line up in the base defense for the spring. That's a concern. But if Lee can manage the team, be accurate with the football and chase defenders away from the LOS with a good quick game and with savvy pocket awareness that leads to bigger throws and bigger plays ... well then we are going to be awesome. OR.... Lee could come out, be very average and throw the ball into trouble areas on the field where defenders can intercept. We know that Lee has thrown about as many picks as he has touchdowns... granted that was at Tulane. Do I want to believe in Lee? Yes. But I am also wondering if this is all a set up for a bad outcome. Anyone else feeling like this? Because, quite frankly, I hope no one, or at least very few. GBR!

Maybe a working link?

would love to add a mountain moving offensive lineman from the #808

I seriously think Cav has a calendar reminder set on his iphone that goes off every few days that says "send zip code tweet about an OT today"

Barry's (the bar) already agreed to host the trophy when we win, and they're finding a coordinating bar in Minny. Barry's said they'd be building a trophy case. https://twitter.com/BarrysBarLNK/status/900490992725446656

Nope, I think Lee is the real deal, for the simple reason we have heard the positives about him from everyone. This isn't just coming from MR, DL and the players it is coming from everyone that has watched him. First it came out of the Manning camp, then we have heard it from a couple of NFL type scouts, then we here it from all the BTN guys, then we here it from all the local media. Does that mean they win 10 games next year, I don't know. There are a lot of things that go into it than just a QB. I think he gives them a really good chance to win games though. Some of your other observation are just that. NU did go 5-7 that year, but lots of things did not go their way. It could have easily been a 9 win season with a couple of breaks in some games. I do put the losses against Illinois and Purdue that year on the coaches, but basically every almost every other loss could have been a win with a couple of breaks in the game. It doesn't make me feel better about losing, but it does really show you how winning and losing can come down to a couple of plays. I heard this morning on ESPN that Clemson had 8 1 possession games last year and went 7-1 in those games. I am not sure why you are comparing PSU recruiting and Nebraska. Most years Penn St will out recruit Nebraska. There are more D-1 recruits within 200 miles of Happy Valley than their are within 500 miles of Nebraska. It is just simple math. Nebraska has a really nice class going right now, it is not going to be a huge class which is what a lot of recruiting rankings is based upon. Look at the overall star rating and you will be a little happier about the class.

Source Being someone who has a 4K tv, I'm interested in seeing how well this is done.

Utah State got jobbed. Targeting needs to start taking into consideration what the offensive player is doing. How are you supposed to account for an offensive player ducking when you've already started your tackling motion?

When the series against Iowa was scheduled, they were a pretty bad team in the Big Ten, but had just hired Hayden Fry. Even then, they weren't a great team. Florida State was nobody when they agreed to play Nebraska. Yes, they became great, and them beating NU in Lincoln in the early 80s was a big part of that, but Florida State was very low level at the time they agreed to play NU. Did you notice how Florida State came to Lincoln for every one of those games. NU never went to Tallahassee. That was a paycheck game for Florida State at the time, and they wanted to play super tough competition. Auburn was a meddling SEC team at the time, as well. When they played NU, Bo Jackson was a true freshmen who barely even played against NU. Penn State was really the only legitimate team back then. 35 years ago, there wasn't as many D-1 schools maybe not even 100, and the scholarship distribution wasn't like it is today. So, while those schools may seem like huge names now, it was a totally different era in college football.

I hope this post was therapeutic.

????????? If anybody has a clue how he's going to be it's Riley. If he was skeptical he wouldn't be starting.

Hurry up and hide this from StPaul Husker.

Police motto is "To protect and Serve", right? So why would them doing their job need to make the news?

Lets start a GoFundMe to raise $5 for the $5 Bits of Broken Chair trophy

You're twisting my words. Do cops sometimes need to use deadly force to subdue a situation? Yes. Without question. Do cops unnecessarily use deadly force and not face consequences? Yes. A simple Google search will give plenty of examples.

Close.

Nebraska doesn't "need" the money because Nebraska has done the things to bring in a metric crap ton of money every year (for those unfamiliar the metric crap ton is larger than the English crap ton) You want to play more home and homes? MOST of the college football universe would stand and applaud while the AD's at your peer schools would pants you when you get the courage to talk to the pretty girl in the hallway. Miami is play A-State home and home, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Iowa State have or have scheduled a home and home. Buy games exist because buy games work. More money for the schools with big crowds and donors giddy every time the AD invents a new way to part them with their money. They work wonderfully for the opponents as well. It puts a seven figure number in the revenue column that buys the AD some grace with the university chancellor when creating a costly budget. Home and homes are the province of schools who cannot afford to buy games and the province of G5 schools that can afford to host those games. When people bemoan that FBS is too large, well the solution is simple. Don't buy home games. Make a San Jose State or Louisiana-Monroe survive on what they make at the gate, they will eventually run out of money.

For as many times as you say it, you should just change your name to "I have a girlfriend." We get it, man. You're getting laid. We're all super happy for you. Other options include, but are not limited to, CMRA for "Creepy Mike Riley Avatar," ISoFG for "Inappropriate Shouting on Fridays Guy," or (and this is my favorite and real suggestion) IAAPNGBIGALE for "I'm a pretty nice guy bug I'm a little excitable."

My plans for the first game:

WTF.....you said this would get me through till Saturday. That's something like 33 hours from now. You only posted roughly 9 minutes of videos.

first half: Second Half (with beer, not pop):

Hello all, The following is an updated and summarized guideline of Huskerboard’s policy surrounding politically-themed content, specifically in areas outside of the Politics & Religion (P&R) sub forum, though not exclusively. If you have questions or concerns, please comment below or send a private message to a board moderator or admin. No politically-themed content in status updates Please do not share news or commentary related to politics, policies, elected officials, the president, or topics that would fall under the political umbrella. The P&R forum is the only place to share these opinions and discuss a candidate, elected official, or policy. No politically-themed content in Huskerboard user profiles This limitation extends to profile avatars, user names, signatures, and other forward-facing aspects of user profiles including those featured in posts and updates. Moderator/admin discretion will determine what is acceptable and what isn't. Deference will not be given to ambiguity If a mod or admin believes some element of a user profile violates any of the above, that user will be required to remove the violation. Refusal to do so in a timely fashion may result in the account being moderated and/or suspended until the violation is corrected. The account may also face a ban if the violation is deemed intentional, the user has a history of abusing this policy, or at moderator/admin discretion. Only members with a minimum of 250 posts will be granted access to the Politics & Religion sub-forum The limit is in place to prevent abuse of the P&R sub-forum, however, Board Guidelines will still be enforced to the fullest extent once a member is granted access. If a moderator/admin believes a member with less than 250 posts is trying to improperly increase their post count in order to access the sub-forum, the member in question may face penalties up to and including a Huskerboard account ban. Actions that may be considered improper include, but are not limited to, multiple and repeated posts in the 'Last to Post Wins' thread, multiple posts in a thread when a single post would've sufficed, or multiple posts across several threads that appear to be of no real value. If this behavior is uncovered posthumously, after a member is granted access to the P&R sub-forum, that member may still be held accountable for their actions up to and including a Huskerboard account ban. Why such a hardline stance against politics? Most users come here for the primary reason of discussing Husker sports. The board has experienced situations in the past where political debates made their way into other forums outside of P&R. These debates often featured personal attacks or other board violations. Some members have also complained the political spillover into other parts of the board is a turn off. Keeping political discussions inside the P&R forum gives users a specific place they can go to discuss these topics. As always, any political comments made in the P&R section must adhere to our Board Rules. Thank you, Huskerboard's Leadership Team

This is actually a pretty good way to describe the current state of Husker fandom (in general terms) by Faux and Dirk. OWH

I agree too and it makes the bad call that much worse because the player is disqualified.

Of course. As long as the revenue is high the owners have no problem with him as ceo.

This is the most uncertain I have ever been at the beginning of a season. I wouldn't be surprised by a 10 win season or a 5 win season. I also think Lee has to prove it on the field. His stats at Tulane were nothing special. I wonder if he is a great passer when there is no pressure, but not so great when rushed.

They don't even fire cops that murder people, why would they dole out any punishment for this? At most he'll get put on paid administrative leave for 2 weeks, take a sensitivity course and be back on the beat.

Unofficially visiting this weekend.

There goes the impossible dream, but good first half and a bit of second. Indiana D to worn as expected also a bit to one dimensional on O as good as their passing was. Not sure what to make of OSU, they didn't seem very confident in running but no doubt can make some big plays. Season is young though fellas, lot's of fun and pain to come

Indianas D is tired and can't stop anything now. I may have been wrong and that score wasn't going to help anything. If OSU score again this game is over.

Not a fan of those rub routes, especially when the WR hits the defender thats guarding the guy going out. If you run close and the defender hits their teammate, then fine, but when a WR hits the defender, seems like too much of an unfair advantage for the offense.

All signs are pointing to a great day. I scouted teal this morning- had 26 come in to my little private pond between 6:30 and 6:45am. Should have a limit of birds early! The plan is to shoot enough teal to be able to serve duck poppers for the Oregon game! Quick recipe- Soak teal breasts in salt water 12-24 hours. Cut green peppers into quarters (about the same size as the teal breasts). Apply cream cheese to the inside of the green pepper slices. Lay the teal breast on the cream cheese. Lay a slice of jalapeno on top of the teal and then wrap in bacon. Slow cook in the smoker until done- game day favorite for years at our place. Especially so while playing the ducks!

FYI, any TV antenna will work, calling it an "hd antenna" is marketing.
