Michigan did not win a national championship in 1997. They won the Pac-10/Big Ten intramural trophy.

It's an inspired list of depressing choices, for sure. There is merit in each, but I have to lean to the last worst game. Wisconsin 2014. The other worst losses seemed like games Bo could still learn from, and perhaps we were a few fresh recruits away from getting over the hump. Wisconsin 2014 confirmed we would always be mentally weak, over-matched and mis-coached when it mattered.

It's a rilvalry mostly for Eastern Nebraskans, mostly the snobby ones who act like it's not a rivalry.

TBH they are lucky they had an out in the Rose Bowl because we would have absolutely curb stomped them.

They don't play the anthem before any other large public gathering, the marriage to sports makes no sense. I like the anthem when national teams are involved (see World Cup), otherwise it's a mood killer and waste of time.

OWH

True. You can also refuse to make any adjustments and go on to coach 7 of the 10 worst defensive performances in Nebraska football history. First time I've heard one player blamed for the whole Wisconsin debacle. That's some serious Bo loyalty at work.

This kid is poly strong. Hit 700lb squat for 5 reps. Also got a couple reps of 500 with a little spot. Imagine this kid setting the tone in the weight room under Duval. Dad also played at Hawaii.

Gonna grill a spatchcocked chicken tonight. If it looks good I'll post results in the food forum. If it doesn't turn out well, we'll forget I ever mentioned it.

What a moronic, narcissistic loony tune leader we have. The guy has no intelligence - he is probably reacting to NK remarks about Pence (Pence's remarks were naive at best and belligerent at worse). Off the cuff decision, doesn't consult his partner SK and does it while NK has access to potential hostages - I'd hate to be that USA reporter in NK right now. I'd make sure I took no souvenirs - they might suddenly get reclassified as NK top secret documents. Add another nation that cannot trust us in the future. He just threw SK under the bus - I doubt they trust him in the future.

I don't know any defense that isn't trained to make in-game adjustments, including modest s#!ts in scheme, especially when the discipline and assignments are failing so blatantly. This came up throughout Pelini's career. There were several games where opposing players, coaches and game announcers all wondered aloud why Nebraska refused to make defensive adjustments, letting the offense exploit the same plays time and time again. One quarterback said it was like playing a high school team.

Football matches are fun to win, I tell ya what!

This guy is losing it.

Man, reading these replies made me reflect on how bad worst loss “runner up” (in my mind) was - 2010 Texas. I remember the video that made the rounds in the off-season, calling for all fans to bring their energy... a “save the date” type video. So much hype. That was the year the curse was coming to an end. Like others said, just laid an absolute egg. I have rarely seen a more lifeless team. No energy whatsoever. No fight. Did Garrett Gilbert EVER looks as good against any other team in his career as he did against us? Yet another example of a frustrating watch of a Pelini defense without Suh. Good coverage, yet zero pressure on QB, zero containment of QB, and wide open swaths of turf for QB to run once he decides to run. Weve allowed way too many horrible QBs have career days against us in the last 15 long years. Brighter days ahead.

Why is everyone so confident we will beat Troy?

So you're actually doubling down on this?

QB evaluation is an amazing science. Our last QB whisperer didn't seem to have the 'IT' factor - I think this guy does.

The point of the video was to, once again, deflect from the real problem (America's addiction to guns and the NRA's culpability in that problem) and instead focus on something else - anything else - as the reason these things happen. It's just another in a long list of excuses the NRA has come up with to deflect from the actual problem. It's not guns, it's: No prayer in schools Ritalin Mental Health Culture of death Violent video games Crisis actors Not enough guns That's just off the top of my head. They've been doing this since Columbine, maybe before. And people focus on the distraction instead of the problem.

What is any Bo Pelini Defense circa 2011-2014?

Yea I agree, I believe his playing weight should be around 315 ish with those gains being muscle and the fat gone. Watching his highlight video I see why coach Dawson likes this guy. He understands that block shedding technique he teaches where the player gets off the block and holds contain. Now, he might just need to work on handling double teams better but he has plenty of time to do that and don't forget he will enroll early so he will have a full winter and summer of Duval to get him ready.

If the press would end up in a prison for 3 years in NK, he wouldn't give a rats butt.

I'm a Cowboys fan, but even I don't like them that much. But, if that's what you want to do, go for it. But make sure to get consent from Tyron Smith first, he might just break something off of yours.... Stupid jokes aside, and I admit I'm kind of biased, but I thought the way Jones and the Cowboys handled the anthem last year when it got heated was perfect (kneeling as a team before the anthem and then standing). It was a solid statement recognizing the issue of racial inequality and at the same time not giving people a reason to complain about how unpatriotic they are. It basically ruined the argument for people that aren't capable of looking past the kneeling during the anthem. Now, how genuine Jerry was is always questionable, but he's at least good at making people happy. Except Eagles fans, they're always miserable people!

This is the man pushing this superficial love of the National Anthem.

Well you just put all of Pelini's defensive flaws into a nutshell. His defensive philosophy was built backwards. He wanted to be sound at stopping the pass first and foremost. He never wanted to commit another defender or 2 to stopping the run because it would weaken his pass defense. He was stubborn. He would always say we just didn't execute. He was counting on his run fits to be perfect and they rarely are. He knew how to play spread teams pretty well but power running teams were a mystery to him. I agree with everything you saying. You got to try and slow them down.

This is pretty fitting. I think Nebraska's best case scenario is seven wins right now. I think we'll hit the over.

It's almost like we shouldn't listen AT ALL to the ignorant gasbag who's making sh#t up to pander to hateful idiots. But because the media gave so much coverage to Trump's rhetoric during the campaign, the parameters for this debate have already been set. Millions of people think Trump is just & we're only kicking out the bad ones. You know, the drug dealers & the rapists. Immigration is one of those subjects where you dig your heels in & refuse to hear what you don't want to hear.

I know most folks think that beauty pageants are a waste of time but we’re so proud of Miss Nebraska-Sarah Summers who won the Miss USA pageant. This was the first time a candidate from Nebraska has won. This young woman is a graduate of my city’s high school and attended the elementary I taught in. She was always the type of kid who helped others and is s great representation of our state. http://www.wowt.com/content/news/483405611.html

Some neat quotes from Fred Pollack, former LT 94-97. He believes Frost will do it right and NU power will be returning - maybe not next year but in a few years we'll see a whole new product on the field. https://www.landof10.com/nebraska/nebraska-football-scott-frost-zach-duval-complete-package

Over 5.5 -105 Under 5.5 -125 I was expecting to see the juice on the over at like -140. The juice is almost on your side to take the over!

Schaefer said on 93.7 The Ticket this morning that we should expect an announcement before the end of the week. Will be a commitment video.

I get what you're saying, but the game turned into nate gerry dragging down Gordon 30+ yards down field, over and over. Everyone watching the game knew who was getting the ball. Football can be a pretty complicated game sometimes, but in this case it wasn't. In fact, it was maddeningly simple: stop Melvin Gordon. And don't tell me Pelini didn't have defensive adjustments that don't include 2 safeties standing 15 yards from the LOS. A 5-2 eagle is not that hard to put together, heck, even the 4-3 over or under with the strong safety threatening to blitz every play is where Mcbride made his money. You can't go 2-gap, hat for hat with Wisconsin and their tree stump line, and it doesn't take a defensive wizard to know that. Randy Gregory was not built to go toe to toe with many tackles, much less one from Wisconsin. Why not plug and shoot the gaps, send blitzes from all angles, and single cover? Make them beat you with a mediocre qb and wr Corps? Bring corners and damn the torpedoes? Watching the game is tough, but when I did, it just felt like pelini just expected the kids to figure it out, and then yelled at guys like Daniel Davie when they couldn't bring down Gordon by themselves from a bad angle in the open field.

Good.

My top wanted prospect of 2019 so far

I've been saying this for years. There's a thin line between patriotism and jingoism. We're seeing a bit of the latter creep into our culture lately. It's not a good thing.

Why stop at just the players ? If they want to force “patriotism “ every person in the stadium should be subjected to punishment for noncompliance . Vendors, babies , children, old folks , people in wheelchairs etc should all be required to wear MAGA hats, and stand at attention for the anthem, or be immidiately escorted from the stadium . Personally I’d like to see them quit playing it at every game, and go back to using it for special occasions only . I tune in to see the game not all that stuff anyway .

UCF 2017!

The Democrats have to get the House to get this guy out of his current position. I kind of have a feeling Trump and the GOP's attack on democracy is going to get a lot worse leading up to the election. They have to do everything they can think of to make the other side the bad guy.

F#ck this guy. Nunes embodies everything that is broken & wrong in Washington right now.

Only a 1 star from what I'm hearing, but this is the star:

Because people who get their recruiting information from ESPN need more help understanding.

I know it is just me, but I can not get over the fact that for at least 20 years PSU sought to maintain a competitive advantage by protecting successful coaches and covering up sexual abuse of children that was occurring in their facilities. I will not now nor will I ever grant them the honor of being my rival.

Sorry, auto correct screwed that up. It should have read "Trump did it". I think all this winning is slowly morphing our brains to be Trump like, in that we think everything done by his administration is pure crap. More often than not it will be, but we still need to think critically about things before we stamp it as certified poo.

This concerns me greatly.

44 Lbs. of pork shoulder butts in the smoker. Hope it's enough.
