Go home. You're drunk.

just goes to show you how many people on this board/in this state have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to basketball

doesnt sound like a guy who is looking to leave. But what do I know?

This move is an example of how much faster this defense will be looking to be.

Your namesake says hi:

Since 98? they weren't even in the top 60 teams in the country. This fan base has severely over rated this team, they are not that good. That is the fact people need to start dealing with.

tucker carlson?

Weird. His ability to do skilled work was completely separate from what he did in other parts of his life. It's like human beings are diverse and complex. /s

Is that what this is all about? Because they're real people, whether you agree with them being here or not.

Hired the 5 star St louis kids HS coach. I would guess that this plays out a little like Kansas did last year. They hired a big time Lousiana HS coach and were rolling in some big recruits early. Then the season starts and you lose horribly every game and recruits starts looking elsewhere. Hey. Now that I typed that it reminds me of us last year too.

What impresses me is that Bill Moos, according to the story, took two months of listening to what people had to say before he made any changes. So often, CEOs (that's really what Moos is) make changes in their respective organizations and they never once ask those "on the ground" what they think of the changes. As an anecdotal example: where I work the CEO wanted to give a certain company preference ahead of all the other companies we do business with because of the amount of money they spent. Seems logical right? Take care of your best customer? Problem was, by prioritizing a certain company, all other orders had to wait until that particular company was taken care of. Orders went from being fulfilled at roughly 92% on time metric to less than 75% and the majority of our other customers started complaining also. So, after 6 months, we went back to just filling orders as they came in. All of this could have easily been avoided if the "big brain" would have just asked us nobodies who do 99% of the heavy lifting what we thought. Terrific leaders make the best decisions when they start asking for feedback from the ground up. Bill Moos seems like he's that kind of leader. Talk to the people first who will be the most affected by the decision/change. Sometimes what seems like a good idea in theory or on paper doesn't work in reality.

I really think it's gonna be Martinez. Do throw a poll up btw. I just feel like the way coaches are talking, the kind of year it's going to be...there's going to be a lot of opportunity and the new guy will be thirsty for it. I have no dog in this fight, though. It's an interesting offseason for the QB room!

Hey if you are cool and like basketball and brackets and such, head over to the contest crib. You don't need to know a lot about bball to win. It is an ESPN Tourney challenge and search Huskerboard to join it would be super fun if we could get some more people.

Well you see Bruce, we had a Q1 win that you SAID you would look at as a Q1 win when we beat Minnesota. I don't understand how Nebraska should be punished for a season-long injury and a rape accusation on a team we beat, but hey. So you win all the games you're supposed to... Nebraska could have beat Illinois, the committee wouldn't have cared. Nebraska could have beat Penn St., the committee wouldn't have cared. They sure as hell wouldn't have cared about UCF or St. John's. Nebraska could have gone 26-6 (15-3) and the committee wouldn't have cared because we couldn't beat 5 teams that are a five seed or better. And we DID beat one of those teams!

Big 12 and SEC both overrated IMO. Elevated a lot of crappy teams

I don’t think we were that close that one team did us in. Weak SOS and only 1 quality win screwed us. The late loss to Illinois pushed us down too

Probably gonna have to go back further than Davidson.

You're just ignorant.

This is flat-out bigotry.

So this must be the part where we make excuses for how bad Lovie has been in his first few years and point to the "better" recruiting as proof that he needs more time, right?

Not with the good, uh, supplements.

Casting a broad net over illegals as lawless felons is the exact bs I'm talking about that makes it hard to even start the conversation. Again, the FACTS are illegal immagrants commit felonies and crimes that "hurt real people" (violence, sexual assualt, drugs, what have you) at a lesser rate than citizens and thats even if you break that down into ethnicity. And it makes sense, most illegal immagrants aren't looking to cause trouble and end up back where they started. People try to come here legally but the fact of that matter is it is very difficult to come here legally in a timely manner without a large sum of money. People don't have time to wait around in these places people are coming from. Alot of times, "illegals" were also once here legally but their visa has expired. Alot of these people are highly skilled contributors to our society. Alot of people who just came here for better opportunity are good hard working contributors to our society. Its a more complex issue than well they are all criminals get them the hell out.

I always get a kick when white, descendants of Europeans complain about illegal immigration

this topic and the fact that Riley is the poster boy for lack of accountability, is the reason he was, and will always be a loser- maybe a nice guy, but like Callahan and Jennings before him a loser. But most of us knew that when he was hired. It was all there for everyone to see: his win-loss record, his body language, his choices of assistant coaches, etc etc Frost, on the other hand..... the first thing that comes to mind, and this did when I saw his PC when he accepted the UCF job, is winner. At the time, I was thinking, how on earth did UCF get a guy like Frost and we ended up with a retread like Riley?

So. We have to get this fixed for next year. We can’t not make the tournament because we don’t go 5-1 or undefeated in our only chances. I think the B1G will fix things from there end, but we can do some things too. Here is what is set. 20 B1G Games vs Creighton USC/Texas Tech/Missouri St (2 of) vs 2 other low level teams in conjunction with KC tourney(will hurt SOS) @ ACC/B1G Challenge (Hopefully someone Top75 RPI So it’s a Quad 1) vs Gavett Games (Hopefully Nova or Xavier) This leaves 4 available games: I would recommend trying to re-up with Kansas, possibly something with Witchita State. I also wouldn’t be opposed to going to SD to play either the Yotes or the Jacks. Both will be solid next year, possibly both top 75 RPI for road games to equal quad 1 win. We can’t schedule cupcakes. Play D2 schools instead so they don’t crush our strength of schedule.

Hey guys! If I start a group on the ESPN Tournament Challenge, and name it Huskerboad, do you guys want to join in and see who is the best at picking tournament games. It sure would be fun!

I wonder if this is the first position change for several guys. (Farmer to center confirmed?) I thought he played great last year. Maybe the new staff is sold on the current and new crop of LB's that the move is being made to add depth and a spark to the DL. IMHO, Stille was one of the few bright spots on the D last year. Also seems like the weight program is working.... Stille, who is listed at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds on the school's website, has spent the seven weeks of winter conditioning with head strength coach Zach Duval bulking up and said he's put on about 20 pounds. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/husker-sophomore-stille-moving-back-to-defensive-line/article_569436cf-d4f5-5392-92a8-89dd0d27b6c6.amp.html

We have a couple of these topics already. Maybe you could make it into a poll? If Martinez isn't even 2nd string until the 6th game, it would be a waste to burn his redshirt. I think he'll either be the starter or he'll redshirt. I'm guessing the reason people think Gebbia is better than POB is because POB never got to play over Lee until Lee was hurt, and there were times we probably should've taken Lee out of the game. I suppose that's a good guess. Nevermind on Vedral - forgot he can't play.

More of that claptrap about toxic masculinity? And you wonder why boys and men are struggling? People like you have defined their very essence as “toxic.” What a complete bunch of nonsense. Your posts read like bullet points from the worst sexual harassment seminar imaginable. Who are you in real life, Sexual Harassment Panda from South Park? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTA2HLLThag

Yawn. Discuss the merits or begone. Whining about the method by which I acknowledged it’s Tucker’s writing rather than my own makes you sound like Richard Simmons pining for a granola bar.

Yeah, the bitter and nasty tactics liberals engage in to divide people by race, gender, etc. and to silence anyone they disagree with are downright hilarious. Thanks for the great response Zoogs. This must be more of that well-reasoned and fact-based discussion that Huskerboard is so famous for.

We can definitely beat this team, after all we did beat them in a scrimmage in Mississippi before the season started.

In other words, your previous comment is BS. Thanks for playing.

ASU & OU have proved that you can get in before Christmas. Neither did anything since the calendar changed to 2018.

I'm all about disagreement here. But if you mock Ric Flair again, so help me, I see a Figure Four Leglock in your future. :-)

Updated after Rhode Island's loss.

lol. Year over year, the worst rate of reduction in that graph is 2016. I don't think any one metric can be used for judging a presidency, or even 1 year (I would guess Trump's policies have almost nothing to do with any negative or positive metric so far) but it is always funny when the metric shows that the person touting it is saying silly things. Also, Ric, we've had this conversation before. Trump is continuing trends that were in place under Obama. You're giving him undue credit for pretty much everything and refusing to give Obama credit where credit is due.

One of the best welders I know would go home and dress as a woman and wear makeup.

Pretty sure 20 lbs of muscle in 2 months is unpossible.

McQuitty tweeted that McGriff is his brother.... Huge news for the McFamily....

Good perspective from Matt Yglesias here: We're all real people. Build in humanitarian directions.

So they falsify documents to get a job and survive. Which then means they pay taxes and never see the benefits of social security, Medicare, unclaimed taxes, etc. and are much more susceptible to wage theft if they are Venice paid above the table making minimum wage.

Do you have any evidence to backup any of these claims?

Lmao that won’t last

At least he put the Corn emoji on there.

One month later and we are still the Huskies

Going through old newspapers I’ve kept relating to the Huskers. Ran across the OWH edition of Bo’s firing and laughed at these headlines: Shatel: Eichorst Sounds Like a Man With a Plan Shatel: Don’t Expect AD Eichorst to Flounder as Pederson Did in 03 (No he just set out to destroy our program!) Chaitlain: Eichorst Proves He Understands NU Tradition, Standards (HUH?!) I’ll bet both of these reporters cringe at these articles!

If this gets Boehm away from basketball then it is a success.
