I remember the first time I saw the rock. It was standing across the bar from me among a busy crowd of patrons, yet it still stood out to me. I bought the rock a drink and we really hit it off. After a dozen or so dates we moved in together, sure it was a quick move and our friends disapproved, yet things just felt right. Two years down the road and we were betrothed to be married. It wasn't meant to be however, I came home one night and found the rock in bed with my own brother. A messy end to an otherwise perfect time in my life. When I found out the rock had moved into memorial stadium I was happy for it, but now that it has been evicted I feel sorrow for it. Time heals all wounds, I just hope the rock lands back on its feet.

Solution- no bill and no windows

Ohhhh, offensive! Midget? Yikes...maybe he needs a sensitivity class?

hey if football played as soft of a schedule as basketball played this past year then maybe Mike Riley would still be our coach too

We need to stop blaming schools for poor parenting.

OK Bauserman.

Good to see StPaul crapping on another thread by questioning everything that is being said.

Riley didn't win games. That's why the last class fell apart

It's actually one of the most accurate, stinging rebukes of the Democratic Party structurally under Obama, IMO. I like the Pod Save guys, and listen to their stuff quite frequently, but they caught a lot of crap for that tweet, and I'm not sure it's not totally undeserved. It seems like we're at a point in politics where people are attempting to build credibility by denouncing both parties, in particular their own. Some genuinely feel neither party represents them. Others legitimately want parties to make changes that will allow them to better represent people like themselves. Some folks just try to say the right things and pander to the right people for self-promotion and popularity. I'm not sure which their initiative is yet. I hope it's not the latter. It sure feels like a slap in the face to all the Dems who've run and won (or are running) on campaigns focused on local issues that their constituents care about. Those Democrats didn't win by running against Trump. That's not going to move many votes in downballot races. Democrats seemed to have mostly learned the lesson that they can't simply tell people how unacceptable Republicans are and ask people to vote for them instead. And you can't use a top-down approach that neglects or actively hurts state/local politics when you don't have an Obama leading your party. It's not the right approach even if you do.

But, he has also regularly acknowledged BP couldn't get over the hump. I think Frost understands some of the reasons why BP was let go even if he has respect for him. Either way, Bo Pelini had failings as a coach and they manifested well before some of the tension between him, Perlman and SE.

No because 63,972 Husker fans still showed up to watch the field.

Part of the stadium is being worked on which reduced the capacity for the game. Even if OSU had their whole staidum available and the weather was better for the spring game, I imagine Nebraska will have more fans at their spring game this year. That graphic never gets old.

I found what I thought was my rock once. Turned out it was just a petrified horse apple.

Nobody talks about how awesome R. Lee Ermy was in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.

If Turner Gill was such a great passer, he would have got the 2, and a natty. :/ sarcasm

Children, puhlease!

ummm.....

Yeah...I think Bunch is 3, by a lot.

They chose six because it sounds the most like sex, and the coaches want them to make love to the end zone.

I would say that is probably correct.

For as many times as the coaches said they "flipped a coin" for this stuff, I think you're right about that.

JD Spielman is not listed, so he's definitely out. Same for Jordan Ober and Tre Bryant.' Here's both rosters sorted by position.

I don't want to relitigate Martinez's entire career, but his mechanics were much improved his last two years after he started working with that Calhoun guy. They were bad his sophomore year because he was hurt. IIRC, he had a bad ankle on one leg and a bad knee or foot on the other.

Y.O.U.R.E. OLD.....

For Ultimate Glory!

I am sorry but this is not remotely funny, at all, ever.

Of Ultimate Destiny!

Great show. This is one of my favorite scenes:

Walk-ons vs Scholarship QBs!!!

Let's just wait and see how next year plays out

It is, but only because Snake wouldn't agree calling the band Joey and the Joybuzzers. Which is way better.

Here's a couple others: (tongue in cheek. lol) punter -- baseball Head Coach -- high hurdles/shot put

Really? In ANY system? I beg to differ.

I agree without question that Pelini couldn't get over the hump. All I'm really saying is among Riley, Pelini and Callahan, Pelini did the best job of the three. The commonality in the past twenty years of Husker football regarding decisions, was Perlman.

That's not a burn at all. That's part of the problem. They're 'winning' because of unity against something worse. Not because they're something noble. They're just less bad. Notice how her tweet says 'Correction' - correction of what? There was no assertion in the tweet she's quoting, other than the question of what's wrong with the Democratic Party? What are you correcting? The idea that there is anything wrong with your party? You're proving the problem.

There are lots of words and arguments to use about Martinez if you didn't think he was a great QB but "liability" is a horribly inaccurate one. Martinez sometimes carried the team on his back during those 3 years.

Any of you think Frost would ever start T Martinez at QB? That some funny shizzle right there.

I'm not sure Ganz was all that much better of a passer than Martinez. They played in different systems. Ganz played in a system where a running back set the all-time Nebraska record for receptions. More passes to RBs = higher completion percentage. Consider the following: In 2008 - the year Ganz started all year - Ganz was 285/420 for 67.9%. That included 62 completions to RBs. Over 13 games, that averages out to 4.7 completions to RBs per game. In 2012 - the last year Martinez played a full season - Martinez was 228/368 for 62.0%. But he only completed 41 passes to RBs. Over 14 games, that is 2.9 completions to RBs per game. So Ganz completed 1.8 more passes per game to RBs than Martinez did. That is 62% more despite the fact that he only threw 14% more passes overall. Had Martinez thrown and completed 1.8 more passes to RBs per game in 2012, he would have completed 68.7% of his passes for the year. I'm not saying that necessarily makes Martinez a better passes or even as good of a passer. But I'm not sure there's as much of a difference as it might look like there is.

It’s really irrelevant when his family moved to Nebraska. If the parents aren’t fans, the kids likely aren’t either. I moved to Minnesota 14 years ago. My kids that were born here aren’t Gophers fans by any means.

So it's Perlmans fault that Bo Pelini couldn't win a conference championship, couldn't control his temper during games, couldn't control his temper while dealing with the media, couldn't control his temper against officials during games, couldn't control his temper during interviews, refused to adjust his coaching style, refused to make proper staff adjustments, and got blown out handfuls of times. That was because Perlman was a bad chancellor? I don't think so.

I'm glad that the real Sean Callahan made a appearance for this parody.

The Republican party has done a masterful job with this, honestly. They hijacked and pounced on the tribal nature of white Christianity in America, reinforced the myths of it (We understand a sacred truth that 'everyone else' doesn't // The world hates us because the world hates God // God helps those who help themselves aka pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, etc.), and presented itself as the saving force of that ideology while also providing a deflecting answer that blames 'the world' for every question they could have.

Here's my Spring Game attendance tracker. Not sure why that came out so squished. Here's maybe a better version:
