I think we'll see more of what you mentioned in the coming years. Beck and the skill players are still raw. Once our team has an actual identity we'll hopefully play more to our strengths.

Did I personally offend you or something? Some of you guys act like commenting on someone's body fat percentage is the ultimate sign of disrespect. I guess I should expect this type of stuff on an Internet forum. If you expected it, then why did you act so surprised when it happened? Well I am surprised it was a mod

It wasn't a weird claim. Go back and actually read the conversation. I said the guy has a surprisingly high body fat percentage for a collegiate athlete who plays safety. That moderator wanted me to go in depth and now here we are. Maybe he shouldn't ask me to elaborate if he's just going to pick a fight.

Well you can't hate a kid for choosing his dream school. Good luck Debo

I think he'd get a lot of freedom, it means Bo could actually focus on Head Coaching rather than in the defenses ass all the time, then it could even help him start focusing on the offense side (the side that needs the help) good points, but im not so sure that our offense needs as much help as the defensive.at least basing off what this year showed, as the year progressed our offense showed that they "got it" while during most of the season our defense looked clueless out there alot. and im thinking this had alot to do with inexperience on the defensive side of the ball, but bo should be working with the defense cuz beck really made strides with the offense this year Our defense will be fine. A couple of the younger guys came on nicely and the staff is doing a good job addressing our depth (or lack of) at linebacker. I doubt we'll have anything close to a dominant defense next season, but I do expect it to be better. Now if only Bo could figure out how to stop mobile quarterbacks...

This is an interesting place lol.

Are you kidding me? After the PMs we exchanged? Wow. Thanks for that. I should have said a moderator "in a bad mood" instead of "issues." Yeah, I apologized for getting out of line and calling you a douche. I do regret that.

I'll say this - AC is the man. Great Husker story, and produced on the field. Goofy hair, cheesy smile, awkward pose? - Yes, yes, yes. It ain't a Glamour Shots photo, that's for sure... Out of shape? - Impossible. You can't play that many snaps on defense and not be in peak physical condition. If he were carrying all this extra weight, he wouldn't be playing. The dude is a starter on the Blackshirts in the secondary...only lineman get to carry extra weight. If you see fat, your eyes be playing tricks on ya - and you're probably a closet anorexic. Cassidy is almost the textbook example of a young athlete who has trouble keeping weight and bulked up to play at this level. In no way is he even close to out of shape. Look at a guy like Joe Ganz. He did the same thing in college and he's noticeably slimmed out since he started coaching.

Listen, if you're just going to throw a hissy fit and start with the personal attacks, I'll put on my Mod hat and we'll have a serious talk. We don't allow personal attacks here, period. That's not negotiable. I've humored you with this conversation, despite the fact that you're postulating something that is barely probable under the circumstances. I've admitted that you're the king of BMI. You have the ability to gauge body fat via the internet. Why you can't accept that and move on is beyond me. But at this point, I think it's best to move on. You know, I love this board for a lot of reasons, but there is one thing that goes on here that is really annoying. There is this little click of people, including most of the MODs who will poke at the things people say, mock them, then throw around sarcastic ridicule, and even sometimes come out and call them foolish. Then once the OP is a little pissed and fires back with a response that shows their level of agitation, they are met with self-righteous condescension, followed by even more sarcasm. Finally, after the MOD really HAS been acting like a douche, the OP finally calls him a douche. But instead of realizing that they have been acting like a douche, the MOD will say something really douchey like: “Listen, if you're just going to throw a hissy fit and start with the personal attacks, I'll put on my Mod hat and we'll have a serious talk.” It is just so hypocritical, and makes it hard to do what these boards are intended for; a little meaningless debate about sports (or in this case physical fitness…I guess). Yeah man it's pretty aggravating. I just dropped the subject and sent the guy an apology. Might as well be the bigger man since I clearly can't win an argument against a moderator who's got issues. It is what it is.

My degree is in Exercise Science and Physiology. I have have measured body fat levels many times with body fat calipers. And their is absolutely no way for you to have any idea what his body fat percentage is from a picture on the internet. LOL! And for guys criticizing Austin Cassidy his body fat percentage is irrelevant to the fact that he was the starting safety for the University of Nebraska. He was a BLACKSHIRT, which 99.9% of Nebraskans can't say they have or will ever accomplish in their lives. Most body fat caliper estimates are pure sh#t, and don't account for water fluctuations and what not. I'm not going to get into this with you because most people don't know anything about nutrition and fitness. I know man. Commenting on his body fat has nothing do with his accomplishments at UNL. You're putting two and two together when all everyone was doing was poking fun at the fact he's got a beer belly and looks like your average Joe. Hmmm I wonder what's a worse estimate of bady fat? Calipers or YOUR eye balls? LOL! I also understand the Gold Standard of body fat testing is Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing. However, I used the the fact that I have extensive experience with body fat calipers as an example of how nearly impossible it is to guess someone's body fat with your eye balls genius. My personal opinion is that people making fun of Cassidy sound like snot nosed brats who are JEALOUS of what he has accomplished in his life. It's not impossible. Go to a bodybuilding forum. We're not talking about exact numbers here, rather estimates. I seriously doubt anyone truly meant it when they joked about Cassidy's physique. And yes, I bet a lot of people are jealous of Cassidy. I know I am. It's just funny to see a guy like Cassidy and then Dennard, who's jacked. Yeah that's true. Austin is either going to be a CEO or a Head Football Coach someday making MILLIONS of dollars. So I guess he will have the final laugh on these guys. He's already won. Dude's the starting safety at the University of Nebraska.

Oh no doubt it's fun to dream about, but realistically I just wouldn't see it working out. I love Mike Leach though. The man is a genius.

What is his body fat percentage? Or are you just going by the eyeball test? Probably mid to high teens. "Probably?" You cannot be serious. LOL! Hilarious. Are you or have you ever been a walk on at a major University? Or are you possibly a blood relative of Austin Cassidy?
