  1. Langs still has a job because he was held back by a mental midget at QB. If the guys that they bring in don't cut it, he will be gone too.
  2. And they hurt recruiting too so F them.
  3. I took a screenshot of the standings just to show that it Nebraskaball was in sole possession of 1st place in the confernce and it is more than 1 game into the conference schedule. So you are telling me there's a chance!
  4. Or just cut him. He obviously isn't learning anything or taking the help that is offered to him seriously. Everyone wants the best for him but until he slays that demon he isn't going to be in the NFL and deservedly so. At this point he is most likely going to follow the Aldon Smith route to the blacklist where nobody will sign him due to all of the baggage he has.
  5. What they are conveniently missing here is that TA will (hopefully) be replaced by a QB that is more coachable and can hit wide open WR's or throw WR's open with his accuracy.

    Bowl Games

    For all of the talk about Harbaugh, his team played 4 games outside the state of Michigan as one of their 4 road games was in East Lansing. They went 1 (Rutgers) and 3 (Iowa, tOSU, FSU) on true road games. So they had 8 (really 9 with MSU sucking this year) home games and the difference between them and us was that they beat Wisconsin at home 14-7 and we lost to Wisconsin on the road in OT. Not to mention UM had a ton more talent that is either graduating or going pro, likey 18 total new starters if/when Peppers declars for the draft. Ohio State was a huge disappoinment to say the least. I expected them to beat Clemson pretty easily and it was an butt kicking in the other direction. What is hurting us more than anything is that we are playing southern teams in "neutral" bowl games in their home states. NU vs UT in Nashville, Iowa is playing Florida in Jacksonville and UM played FSU in Miami which is still a home game for FSU as they play in that staduim every other year. It is what it is, but our conferecne has looked like crap so far. Hopefully we get to .500 tomorrow as a confernce.
  7. Not to mention they are a very young team.
  8. It is more than a little, you don't notice it because 95% of the people who post in this forum favor the left. lol Perhaps you don't notice it's moderate left because you're not used to interacting with people who aren't on the far Right. That's the only explanation I can think of. Being vehemently anti-Trump is not the same as bring far Left. LMAO, I have interacted with people of all walks of life in several states with different demographics all over the world while not only traveling to other countries, but living there, as it is my job to do so. So that comment is laughable. I am anything but far right. I started as a registered Dem who voted for Bill, but over time the party has gotten so out of touch that it doesn't represent what I believe anymore. So I am more in the middle, leaning to the right with the agenda that they rolled out this year along with what has happened over the past 8 years. Trump isn't a real Republican, so you are right about that part. But that has nothing to do with how far left the majority is on here. That is why a lot of the non progressives have stopped posting here because it does no good to post here. All of the lib's on here will gang up whoever dared to post anything non progressive using liberal sources like Vox, NBC, CNN while chastising any use of "Faux" as a source. When the truth is that all of them are biased and skew any "facts" to fit their agenda. If anything this board is far left which is called being "progressive." The moderators even moderate it that way. Remember when I was banned for saying that someone couldn't comprehend what I was saying? Which you and a few others defended me and said that it wasn't ban worthy, thanks again by the way for speaking up as I still appreciate it. Then I saw you and a few others say the exact same thing that I did and didn't get banned. IMO none of us should have gotten banned for it, but these "rules" are only enforced on those who are not "progressive." I have nothing against anyone on here, but these are apparently the rules, unfair or not, that is the way it is. Which is why I don't post much in this section anymore.

  10. +1 The worst part is when it turns into that they are "coached" to make mistakes and miss tackles, throw a YOLO instead of the open guy to move the sticks. You can teach them what to do on the field so much and ultimately it is up to them to preform. It's the same in the classroom and in life. There is no excuse for not being ineligible with all of the support that student athletes get. It was a conscious decision by Gerry to skip class and that is on nobody but him. Nobody has the time to hold every players hand and walk them to class. And he was held accountable for his selfish decisions by being kicked off the team for his last game. He thinks he is going to the NFL so NU didn't matter anymore, well I think he is going to be in for a surprise once he sees the athletes that he is competing with at the combine and that the NFL is far from a sure thing for him.
  11. Before Harbaugh was hired for the 2007 season, Stanford had the #59 (2006), #25 (2005), and #60 (2004) classes, or a #48 average. They just came off a 1-11 season, where 9 of those 11 losses were blowouts. He came in and they immediately improved, and then improved again, and then improved again, and finally improved again before he was hired away. The situation Harbaugh inherited at Stanford and improvement he consistently made there is nothing like Riley at Nebraska. And anyone who says "he's done well all things considered to this point" after a losing season and the curbstompings we've encountered is also not being objective. Ok that's my bad, so not 40, number 48. I used rivals and 247 in combination and made that mistake. So those 8 places represent a whirlwind of difference in your opinion? Jim Harbaugh is an elite Coach at both the college and NFL level. He took over a team with a talent level within the same ballpark as Riley did in the cupboards. He proceeded to win 4 games, then 5 games, then 8 games. He didn't surpass Mike Riley's 1st season win total until his 3rd year. "He inherited a team with a 1 win record" you say, so is he from an objective point of view allowed a couple bad seasons? You prove my point in that sentence. It is of course relevant what the previous coach leaves behind in culture and talent, and that of course plays into Riley's losing season and blowouts. You know what Harbaugh didn't inherit Qmany? A defense that gave up an NCAA record breaking amount of yards rushing in a game, a team accustomed to it's coach receiving penalties and being broadcast throwing fits on the sideline, a team that was pulled aside by the previous coach and told the AD was a p*ssy and they should transfer. Lets be even more objective just to crush your point a little further. Nebraska is the first Major college football program that Riley has coached at. I want to note that I don't count Oregon State due to lack of resources, and unbelievably bad tradition. When he took over at Oregon State, the beavers hadn't been to a bowl game since 1966. There are very few power 5 teams as historically bad as Oregon State. Let's take a look at some of the best coaches in the current era of college football and their record in their first 2 seasons as a head coach of a Major program. Mike Riley- Nebraska- (15-10)- 60% Nick Saban- Michigan State- (12-11-1)- 50% Jim Harbaugh- Stanford- (9-15)- 37.5% Urban Meyer- Utah- (22-2)- 92% Dabo Swinney- Clemson- (13-8)- 62% So lets see, among 4 of the best active College Football Coaches Mike Riley ranks better or about the same as 3 of them. I'm going to go ahead and say its pretty objective to say that he has done nothing in his first two years that proves he can't and wont win a championship. You can continue to pretend his performance his first two years points to the fact he has no chance, but history just doesn't agree. Wow, seriously? You're comparing what Saban took over at MSU, or what Harbaugh took over at Standford, to what Riley took over at Nebraska? Nebraska was a 9 win per season team with the exact same talent that Riley took over. At this point, any fewer wins for Riley than 18 is unacceptable. This season the Huskers literally lost every game against a quality opponent (with the arguable exception of Minnesota). To be sitting here at 15-11 after two years is ridiculous...and we all know that should be 14-11 since Nebraska didn't belong in a bowl at 5-7 last season. So now Riley is sitting here at 57%. That's a huge surprise, said nobody with half a clue. He has been coaching for 30 years and has been a .500 coach the entire time. So here he sits at Nebraska as a .500 coach....okay .576 but it's right around where he has been his entire career. No surprises here. Oh yes seriously, I am comparing those two head coach's at two different programs to Mike Riley in their first two years. And I am sorry to say it but Nebraska has been nothing special for a long time so try not to be so shocked I could compare those two programs to us. There is of course an imbalance between Nebraska where Riley got them, and the other two programs no doubt about it. They are two of the greatest coach's ever however, so even with a disadvantage it seems ok to me to pit Riley against them. Everyone here is still upset about the blowouts and I get it. As I keep saying I'm not here preaching how amazing Riley is and he is the next Saban. I'm just saying its a bit early to completely write him off as a head coach. The reactions i'm getting are that I am unreasonable, which is why I point out a few of the greatest coaches and how their first two years at a major program went. I did it to illustrate sometimes coaches need more than two years, not for any other point. Plenty of coaches have had tons of success their first two years, and we all know it. Like it or not we are all getting another year of Riley. I would just prefer to be optimistic leading into it. I still think there's a chance for a big turn around next year. Yeah, well...you go ahead and try to be optimistic, I'm going to choose reality. Riley is a .500 coach. He has always been a .500 coach. There is no indication that anything other than a weak schedule will change that. And any hope that he can compete against the likes of Harbaugh and Meyer is just fantasy. You do realize that Harbaugh only played 4 games outside the state of Michigan this year and went 1-3 with his only win at Rutgers. He lost at Iowa, tOSU, and against FSU. Let's see how he does next year when all of Hoke's kids leave after this year.
  12. Against a depleted UT team..... screw injuries. Every team has them. Others just recruit/develop depth... Which he is trying to do because the last guy did a pathetic job at it. Quit blaming Bo. This is Rileys show. Year 2.....Harbaugh, Fuentes, Frost, Richt all say hello..... It's common sense, you don't rebuild a program with very little talent and zero depth with one recruiting class.As for those coaches you mentioned, those guys all walked into teams that had a lot of talent and depth because the firings were for a different reason, they had the needed talent, but didn't get it done which is nowhere were NU is at in the post Bo era. Let's see how Harbaugh does next year after losing 17-18 guys off of this team and Hokes players are gone. Much like how Bo's best years were with Callahan's players. Wasn't Frost's team 0 and 12 last year, yet they went bowling this year? That's not great talent. This team has more talent than Iowa, Illinois, and Purdue. You don't need a lot of talent to win at that level. And every loss to those teams are on what is between TA's ears other than the loss to Iowa this year.
  13. You sell early playing time, which is very attractive to the top guys. I'd pretty much tell guys you're not redshirting. Pull a Bob Stoops and recruit guys who can play that don't need development. That is exactly what we need to do.
