3 things about Nebraska football I will go to my grave believing. Tommie Frazier is the greatest college football player I have ever seen Nebraska would have beat Michigan by 20+ in 1997 There was NOT 1 second on the clock in 2009.6 points

All I know is that if Bunch starts, I will probably crack a beer open at 1001 AM for the first time in about 10 years.6 points

The problem with that QB rating is it only looks at passing plays. When he actually threw the ball he did OK. But he didn't really make very many plays in the passing game either. However, there were a couple times when he should have thrown the ball away instead of taking a sack. That isn't measured in that rating. And by most accounts he wasn't running the zone read correctly either which hurt the offense. I'm not completely sold on ESPN's QBR but it at least tries to take all plays into account. It's on a 1-100 scale with 50 being average. Martinez is at 65.4. Bunch is at 24.2. I think that would be pretty accurate in this case.5 points

As a bear fan, I cannot believe I did not put 2 and 2 together. Always thought MLB51 meant Major League Baseball (fan), or.... "Most" "Likely" to "Bump" the drinking thread4 points

It is not f#&%ing okay for the president of the U.S. to be saying something like this publicly. We should not become so desensitized that we are f#&%ing okay with it. A woman in the 80s going to the authorities with this may have been laughed at. Even if not, no one who hasn’t had something like this happen to them should question why someone waits. The negative repercussions of trying to fight back with the law are many. Most people wouldn’t want to deal with that, and that’s one reason we see people making accusations years later only after they find out they’re not alone. I fully understood why some women waited until Trump might become president to make their accusations, and I understand it here, too. It’s one thing to watch the person who did something to you be successful. It’s quite another to see them reach the very top of the ladder and be in your face constantly by being in the news all the time.4 points

"He has a weird throwing motion as any Nebraska Martinez must" Good read. I liked it.3 points

From the Michigan blog @Saunders posted DO - Dead on; CA - Catchable; SCR - Scramble; PR - Pressure; MA - Marginal; BA - Batted; TA - Thrown away/Unproductive run/Avoidable Sack; IN - Inaccuratel BR - Bad Read DSR - Downfield Success Rate So from this guys judgement - it's a really in-depth article, if you haven't read it you should - Bunch had more in the Bad category than good and had a significant drop-off in rating compared to Martinez.3 points

I guess you could say I’m apathetic in that I’m being patient and not going to worry much about this season. I don’t think this season’s results will be a good predictor of Frost’s time here. (Unless of course we start winning ) I’ve waited a long time for this team to be good. I can wait another year or 2.3 points

Bingo. We fell into a rough situation at the most vital spot. Starter enters draft, the backup transfers, the expected starter transfers after the true fresh wins the job, the true fresh gets hurt and the 3rd stringer ends up starting. Hard for anyone to navigate that, yet we have people questioning the staff already because UCF was 12-0 last year...3 points

Our only scholly QB is a true freshman who got hurt the first game. Our best RB is a true freshman. We have a defense that was one of the worst in the entire nation last year. We are going from a slow huddle pro style offense to a no huddle up-tempo offense. We won't see how this plays out until Frost gets a lot more of his guys on the field. Settle down...3 points

Figured I'd just put this here. I wonder if people talk less about the Ohio State wrestlers being molested because most people who are interested in sports are men and it makes them uncomfortable. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/02/us/politics/ohio-state-wrestlers-abuse-me-too.html2 points

You are spot on. It is called reality. I predict 4, possibly 5 wins this year. One of the them will Not be at Michigan.2 points

We don’t have a good enough OL to make an okay QB (Bunch) look good, but I think Martinez is a good enough QB to make a decent OL look good.2 points

I watched the game several times. Some bad things, yes. But for a first time college starter without the amount of preparation that's invested in first year starters, he really didn't do too bad. He made some pretty good throws at times. You knew there would be some mistakes. As Frost has said at the beginning of the year, they will go through them (young players). Throwing the ball away would've helped. And the line didn't do him too many favors. Also difficult when you are down by 17. But they rallied and got close and had plenty of time to win it. Would have liked to see how he would do with a lead and good ground game. So yeah, he did alright. I was more upset with special teams, missing a gimme FG, the blocking (and TE's), penalties, play calls & RB rotation specifically in the redzone. We left a lot of points off the board when we couldn't punch in 2 touchdowns. Is that all on Bunch? No. Heck he didn't even throw a pick in that dangerous area like some of our past starters have done before him. And he did throw a really pass to Morgan for a TD. Don't forget, it was 4th down and 4, with the Huskers having to go for it because of the time and being behind. Check out that awesome pass to Rafdal who made a splendid catch. They converted and he threw another TD (to Speilman) in an area that were picked off by previous starting QBs. So yeah, he did some good things out there. It wasn't like it was all bad as some suggest. Kids' a walkon. He wasn't ever expected to lead the team on Saturdays. Should prolly cut him a little slack.2 points

Vs Troy, Ozigbo had 2 tries from the Troy 7 to get it into the end zone. He got 2 yards total.2 points

I am not miserable. When I think about 1997 I dont even think about Michigan. They got a wooden trophy and we got the crystal ball. I value the opinion of coaches more than a journalist. Coaches are experts in their field of football. Most journalists know very little about football- so Michigan can take the AP poll. I honestly never think about it- I am just commenting because it is a topic of discussion on game week.2 points

Disagree. We don't have an offense built to play traditional smash mouth. We tried to go smash mouth after Troy fumbled the punt to us inside their 10. Ozigbo got two yards total on two carries. Give me Bell or Washington who can make a guy miss.2 points

Akron AD is experiencing a severe case of Butt Hurt: "We showed up, we kicked off, we played,'' Akron AD Larry Williams said Thursday night. Since then, Nebraska has shied away from paying Akron the $1.17-million due from the contract. "That's all in the hands of the lawyers now,'' Williams said. https://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/index.ssf/2018/09/nebraska_shuns_akron_zips_to_p.html2 points

JFC. Trump is going full birther again. He's demanding to see documents. Remember, he's "not that conspiratorial," though. He is so damn embarrassing as a leader of our country and just as a human being in general. Regarding Kavanaugh's involvement in his own insane defense... I'm not sure how much more evidence we need to see to understand that this is NOT a good man. He is NOT someone who should sit on the highest court in the land. That doesn't have anything to do with how he would rule, either.2 points
