  1. Wait, what? You didn't offer any opinion on husker football. You gave a psychoanalysis of our coach as if you know what you are talking about. I asked you to elaborate. You refused. I'm confused. Agreed though, GBR!
  2. Doctor, if you could type in actual sentences, I could reply. But, I have no idea what you are talking about.
  3. Hello, doctor. Can you give me a further analysis of his behavior?
  4. Slow, can't tackle, no effort: he will definitely start when he comes back.
  5. ?!?!?!!??!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!? NU averages 32:45 TOP per game... 20:08???? Where in the hell did they get that number?
  6. Yahoo Wait, what? Do you think he's going to say "Yeah, I didn't go to class all semester"? LOL?

    Good grief

    LMAO post of the century
  8. As I posted in your status update, there's no way you can do that as a coach. If TA can play he starts. If he can't start he doesn't play. Why? Because if he can't start it means he can't play. There's no gray area in concussions. Either you are cleared or you aren't. I understand if he's cleared he can play. But, if he is just skating past the line to play they may consider letting him sit unless actually needed to get the win. Why risk longer term injury against Minnesota if we don't have to? Maybe he's cleared, but he isn't playing well enough to start yet from some lingering effects. It's just not that black and white. Actually, concussion protocol is pretty black and white. Either he's cleared to play or he's not. The point being made is that even if he passes the protocol - there could be reason to still hold him out, unless they decide they need him for the win at some point during the game. If he passes the protocol he starts. I see no reason to even contemplate sitting him "unless needed". What would that reason be? If he has some lingering fatigue or vertigo/dizzyness. If he isn't cleared before he can practice at all, how do they know what his actual status is? Or say he gets cleared tomorrow, then during practice it's clear he isn't all there yet. This just isn't how the concussion protocol works. He will not have any symptoms if he is cleared through the protocol. I don't know why people aren't listening or reading the link from Sam McKewon's tweet. If he is cleared, he is good to go 100%. There is no other way to do it in concussion protocol. I don't know how much clearer the multiple posters in this thread can make this. "If he is cleared, he is good to go 100%." This statement is somewhat naive. Yes, the protocol is binary, pass or fail. However, the symptomatic data used to arrive at that binary decision, is subjective and relies upon the report of symptoms by an extremely competitive individual in a culture that values toughness. See where the problem may lie? Think a patient/player may lie in order to get past the protocol? It's not like it's hard to figure out what the "right" answers are to their questions. Determining pass/fail takes a bit more interpretation than you seem to understand. I'll trust the doctors to make the best decision that they can, with the information that they have. No, your statement is naive. We have protocols that cannot be gamed. They aren't doing Freudian psychoanalysis on Tommy to see how he 'feels': they are putting him through cognitive tests that you cannot fake. If he passes them, he is good to play.
  9. I know you want to think NU will be back. That someday, NU will intimidate their opponents the way we did from 71 til 97. But we won't. Give up. It's over. You should've seen this coming. We barely beat Purdue and Illinois this year. And we lost to them last year. We all thought - "well, we won this year!". Doesn't matter. As soon as we play a team with a pulse, we lose. Badly. It's going to be like this forever. I recommend saving yourself the heartbreak. Stop watching. It's over. We tried. But 4 hires after Tom and all we got is a perennial 50% win rate coach. That's all we could muster. And he fits us well. Because that's all we're gonna be. We won't be Rutgers, but we will be Iowa. In 2050, they'll look at us the way they look at Minnesota now. Face it - you know it's true.
  10. Uh. I think the answer to your question is that he's a good football player and has been for 2 years.
  11. back in the day anything under an ounce was a $100 fine and they smoke your weed later.not sure if it's still the same. Not sure what the penalties were then or now, never participated, but ive heard since the whole colorado thing if you are caught holding just a bit too much they like to hit you with trafficking with intent to sell. That's always been the case... You guys are way over-blowing the weed thing. Yes, you can't walk around O street ripping the bong. But you can smoke in private/in your car. Even if you get caught, as long as you don't have more than an ounce, you will only be receiving a civil citation (aka a ticket). It's no worse than getting caught speeding. Nebraska isn't weed heaven like Colorado or Oregon but it's not awful.
  12. I learned that apparently I have a different set of eyes than everyone else, cuz Gifford certainly did nothing but lead with his arms and two-hand touched the QB to the ground. And it was not late. Watch the replay in real time. He was lunging for the QB before the ball left his hand. Perhaps his helmet hit the QB's; but if touching helmets = targeting, then every lineman should be ejected in the first series of play. More importantly, I learned I have some serious respect for FSU. What an awesome gesture declining the delay of game on our first punt. +rep
