Chinander is my favorite just because of the "do I hold it?" joke

not entirely relevant to this topic, but I just thought this tweet was on the same lines of “poor me” as the others posted earlier. Sam, you cover sports. I understand it’s your job, but at the end of the day I hight doubt you’re covering something so earth shattering that you have “off the record” conversations all the time. Get a grip, man. The only time that I’d argue an off the record conversation is sports is meaningful, or that you’d get annoyed if it was off the record, is if it’s related to some sort of scandal or cover up (Baylor, Michigan State, etc.). Other than that, I don’t really see how people could be missing out on off the record conversations. Highly doubt it’s “worse” than other areas in life.

Pelini generally recruited at about the same rank as his teams ended up in the polls. Riley's results were worse than his recruiting ranks. So far Frost has shown that he can achieve much better on field results than his recruiting ranks - and going off his first year of recruiting, he'll recruit just as well or better than Pelini/Riley. If he can recruit in the top 25 I think we'll see top 15 seasons, and maybe have a really great season occasionally.

Chinander making fun of Diaco!

Do you want to start winning games? This is what all the schools do

Good god you people have lost your minds. The dentist is the devil.

With a decent amount of interviews so far (and no actual on field performance to gauge), which assistant coach is your favorite on the new staff? I’ll start out with Walters. I think he does a great job of explaining and seems to have a ton of passion for coaching. Like him more and more the more I hear him talk.

I see bubble screens for 9 yard gains in my sleep

Ruud just cause....RUUUUUUUUUUD

The mad scientist Verduzco.

Dewitt - i can't wait for the day when he's trying explain things and the guys aren't quite getting it, so he can say, "This isn't rocket science fellas!!" but seriously - i do like the guy a A LOT.

I just find it funny he wants to call the NYT failing and use theor reporting to make a point within the same tweet but its really just classic Trump.

maybe this covers it

Well you're clearly viewing it wrong. The only way to watch the movie is with 30 years of fan boy day dreams and 10 ideas of how YOU would have written the movie.

it depends...if my teeth are hurting i'd rather go to the dentist. if my eyes are messed up i'd rather go to the eye doctor.

It’s not the local media’s job to be the positive voice for the program. You do understand that they aren’t affiliated with the NU athletic program right?

Also... Sam has been going from one of my favorites (when he wasn't at the OWH), to less liked. He was a "toxic culture" excuse maker for Riley's tenure, and even up until late last season, was trying to pin things on the previous staff. Hey Sam, maybe, just maybe it wasn't "sabotage" against the program. Maybe, the fact that most everyone didn't like Shawn "Bob Diaco's the greatest coach at the school" Eichorst, was because he shouldn't have been here, and they were trying to save the program from being run further into the ground. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Heaven forbid these guys actually have to work at developing sources again versus having carte blanche to stroll about. The line about bi$%^ing about wanting more access to quell the message board rumors is hysterical to me. The media could have 100% access and we would still go nuts speculating on things. We're insane people and we all know it.

I didn't vote because I can't pick just one. Heck 4 or 5 of them pop off the page as being my favorites at this point. Held, Walters, Verduzco, Chinander, Dawson.....all of them are serious upgrades from what we had.

It probably wasn't a ten because he didn't get the finger point picture with Held.

I'll drink some Koolaid with ya.

Then imagine my surprise at not having consumed any whiskey.

Lol, f Sinclair.

I agree with the author of this article. It seems to me that these republican religitards are doing what they can to install their own "christian" version of sharia law. I fundamentally agree that stopping human trafficking and sexual slavery are noble goals that we should work towards. However, as the author correctly points out, the scope is far too broad and will just push it more "underground." This is what happens when you give idiotic religious bigots carte blanche power. Didn't it used to republicans who were against legislation like this because it meant government was getting too involved in citizens lives? But now, with them in complete power, their fascist tendencies are truly showing. What's the over/under until some right-wing, religious bigot gets busted because of these new laws because he was trolling for gay men? Not many people do #Hypocrisy better than religious republicans.

Held has made the biggest impression so far

Held and it’s not close (not that the other coaches are bad)

Montverde Academy is in the high school national championship game on ESPN2 right now against another FL team

Ends around 1 PM

Article about Juco Greg Bell impressing early. Other backs mentioned. I really like this quote. Sums up the mentality Frost and Co are going to demand..... “Even if there’s no hole, you can’t just stop and run back to the huddle. You have to get through, fight through, work so it becomes a habit, becomes a mindset. So then those 4-yard runs that were happening last year become 25-yard runs because you’re used to, ‘You know what, I’m not going to be done even if it’s clogged up.’ http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/juco-transfer-bell-making-it-look-natural-as-he-vies/article_fd09ddd8-f311-5cdd-bd27-8b4328fac982.amp.html

That whole thread is a massive circle jerk of "Woe is me" by writers at the OWH.

Adam Carriker is living out his dream of talking Husker football while playing a wrestling character. I can't fault him for it, because he's clearly found an audience to the point where he's in multiple publications in the state with his schtick. That being said, I don't follow it, and I wish it didn't take up so much cache in the OWH that it pushes other coverage out.

I don't want to wade too deep into this, but it doesn't have to be all or nothing. It would be possible to have media at one or two practices, maybe not even even an entire practice, without ruining every secret that the coaches have up their sleeve. Example. The media goes to one practice for roughly 40 minutes during position drills. Two weeks later, the media is there for a scrimmage. Nebraska runs 120 plays during the scrimmage, but the media is only there for 30-40 plays. NOTE: This doesn't necessarily mean I'm upset with how spring practice is being run or how much media availability there is.

It Will be very useful against teams that are very key/assignment based.

"Tanner Lee is the next Tom Brady" - media "Mike Riley has this team buying in way more than under Pelini" - media

Damn it, Mike Riley and co. even turned our media into soft marshmallows.

Hire a head coach

I'd rather watch the MR Wisconsin games over the massacres of the Pelini era.

Besides them being from those 2 states why would either of them leave? Both would be a step down

I mean i guess when you put it that way it might be, but I think you may be the one taking things too seriously.

The Last Jedi was a mess, nothing happened to advance the plot, all the characters failed in their missions, and now there's not much to even be interested in for the next movie. Basically we witnessed a giant middle finger from Rian Johnson to anything that got setup in TFA. Why even make it part of the main sequence if you're just going to kill off the Skywalkers? I agree with a lot of this review (NSFW language and spoilers):

Diaco can't turn down a Riley I guess.

Scott should walk out of the tunnel during the spring game with a husky like bo did with the cat

Shocker. Teach will be in Lincoln but won't go to the game.
