Was this sarcasm? I couldn't tell. You've got the saying wrong first of all, it's "no news is good news." We could be hearing about arrests, hospitalizations, fights, etc. No news seems more like they are focused and aren't exactly looking for attention right now. I like it. I'd much rather go into the season underrated than overrated. Also, I like to hear team news, but I completely understand the desire to push all the reporters out for awhile. The coaches have work to do and they don't need unnecessary distractions.

TRY THESE:

Ctrl+F is a thing.

I think this video was in response to a video put out by the Syracuse weights coach where one of his lifters had hoisted a total weight 95 pounds less and Duval couldn't resist.

The problem with this reasoning is far too often people use it to justify poor defense even in the modern context. We're not ranked 30th/90th/whatever because the game has changed. We're ranked that because there's 30-90 better defenses. The only thing stopping Nebraska from being elite on defense over the last 7 seasons has been Nebraska.

Diaco took over a defense that was ranked 30th. Chinander is taking over a defense that was ranked 101st. Chin's short-term task is much, much easier. Plus he gets to ride the coattails of the best offensive coordinator in the nation. Dude has it made.

Well, there has been uproar about trying to stop it from happening again. That's part of the reason for the investigation. We need to know who and how they did it before we can stop them from doing it again. Problem is, the leader of our country does not support the investigation and STILL is trying to convince America that it's some DEEP STATE conspiracy theory and a huge which hunt. So....it makes it harder for the sane people in our government to actually work to make it not happen again when our dear leader (their boss) does nothing but fight them and ridicule them in public for their hard work. His protests on this issue pretty much tells me where his loyalties are......hint.....it's not America.

Not a Trump follower, nor a fan of Hillary... but have a legitimate issue with some of this: No where have I seen that the Russians made up, falsified, or planted, any of the material from the DNC or Hillary's staff, they just hacked in and released it. Was all of the released material genuine? Why the uproar over whether there was collusion, and barely a whimper about stopping it from happening again? We seem to be more worried about who is to blame (the Russians) than making sure it doesn't affect future elections... ...back to my lurking, and thanks in advance.

I like them...but why would the Under Armor game feature Adidas uniforms?

Especially if your wife is the superintendent, your son-in-law is the principal and you have 3 relatives on the school board.

If Colorado could ever get it together again they could become a giant thorn in Nebraska's side. Boulder is an absolutely breathtaking campus. Plus, you know the herb.

With an #827 National Rank and #76 OT Rank he is not a "must" in my 2020 class or at the position at this time. If we take three OT I think he is the lowest rank of them all. I'll at least hope for that. Based on rankings alone ... we have to do better then this. I'd be curious to see the Frost OT board and where this guy sits on it. I don't think he is the top guy at all ... thus, not a "must".

We never get that kind of information, nor did we in the 90s from what I recall. I read pretty much every OWH article back then. Nor do we need to have the information. We're fans. Besides that, we've gotten plenty of little tidbits from Duval including videos. Not sure what you're wanting - we've seen some squat numbers, we've seen players improve their jumping height. What exactly are you looking for here?

Visiting for colorado.

I think all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies have weighed in on the basics, and convincingly linked it to the Kremlin. There may be some surprises in the details, but the presumption is pretty solid.

Well I have heard Oklahoma boys roll their joints funny..

Finally has a 247 composite ranking. .8581

One might conclude, hearing these allegations, that this was an act of war.

Agreed. I think we are thin in certain places but the players just weren't coached well, not to mention other problems. Delaware as a hair gel salesman

OKLAHOMA AS AN ANALYST

Maybe he's just plain bad and was a little lucky at OSU with his good seasons. Or maybe he thought Nebraska would he smooth sailing because be got a big boost in talent so he didn't put as much effort in. That or course doesn't explain all the boneheaded game management, which goes back to being bad at coaching.

I like that these uniforms are named after sh*tty steak sauce, though I can't articulate why.

Improving on what Diaco did will satisfy most fans in the short term. Chinander has one of the easiest jobs in America. However, now that I realize he vaguely resembles Ben Aflac, he's on a short leash.

It is amazing that Riley was/is so respected for getting the most out of less...when it is so clear that the opposite is true.

Yup, I won't go crazy over the pickup and actually think Anderson is a better prospect but we need 3 HS guys.

1. He's a 2019 recruit. 2. He's higher rated than Anderson right now. 3. Keeps the Colo pipeline live and well. 4. I don't think he's at the top of the board, but he's an option. Maybe not a must get, but he'd be a welcome addition.

I wonder if we're gonna be the new Rome. I'm legitimately concerned about us surviving the GOP. I would like to believe that they don't have the numbers to do this.

More likely I think the bolded are inseparably intertwined. Some day the apologists & truthers will wake up and realize they're in the same boat as the rest of us. They're chuckling and laughing about owning the libs today, but when all is said and done, they'll realize Trump sold us down the river to the oligarchs like the rest of us. They'll have the same boot on their throat, having forfeited yet more power to the wealthy who for all intents and purposes already run everything. Those people are short-sighted and misguided. Congressional Republicans? They're just playing the short game. They're convinced any action, any spin, any investigation and any propaganda that benefits the GOP as a party is worth the price. They're willing to spin and lie and mislead people to maintain or increase their own power. But they've been playing with fire playing to the worst fringes of their base for some time now. There's still hope this whole debacle inevitably blows up in their face. Ultimately, they're increasingly left catering to an ever-shrinking tent of hardcore Trumpers, cultural conservatives and single-issue voters. That coalition isn't going to hold up forever.

Why do you presume the Russians are solely to blame? Maybe wait for a bit before making a pronouncement like that. The investigation is still ongoing, and moving at breakneck speed. We'll find out more soon enough, likely, and it's more than a little bit possible that Americans were directly involved. Stay tuned. Was the material genuine? That's for the DNC to confirm or deny. Likely they'll do neither, unless it becomes a matter of national security or part of a trial. Disclosing the truth or falsehood of internal, private documentation isn't something you're likely to see from any entity with qualified legal counsel. Why the uproar over whether there was collusion? That's a question that shouldn't need to be asked or answered. Why is there barely a whimper about stopping it from happening again? That's a question for congressional Republicans to answer. Why are they more interested in investigating Peter Strzok than Russian election interference?

Rotisserie chicken from the store makes it real easy to make.

mueller has shot down 12 more witches

Really makes you wonder why, with these kinds of indictments coming in, Trump continues to make accusations like this. A patriot would read these allegations and be very troubled by it. A patriotic president would demand a full investigation. Let's see what Trump does.

not much like the real donnie. the real donnie spews s#!t...that donnie cleans it up

Maybe he just can’t get the correct amount out of his available talent. If we assume he got more out of less at OSU (arguable), and we know he got way less out of more here... I think the takeaway is he’s a very nice guy that people want to give the benefit of the doubt to but is really a bad to mediocre coach and he was extremely lucky to have been where he was for so many years.

i.e. 1+1 = 2 but some people have trouble understanding that.

One thing I did notice is that it seems many commentators and prognosticators don't seem to taking into account the schedules of our opponents in the three weeks PRIOR to our game with each. Many of them have some tough schedules themselves which can easily destroy a given team's morale, confidence, injuries, etc. There are some opportunities for several of the teams forecast to beat NU to fall flat before we play them. We have chances against teams that will come off losses etc. as well.

Thought this was funny and there's really nowhere else it belongs.

Crystal balls are still 80% Nebraska, 10% Notre Dame, 10% Wisconsin

I’ll be more worried if Wiscy CB’s come in from Schaefer, Bruntz, Wiltfong, and others.

Wow, it must be most impressive being the fifth winningest coach in the B1G with a 59.6 winning percentage. Apparently, you must coach in the B1G for at least 20 years in order to even qualify for this honor. Heck, Bo won over 70% of his games. Urban Meyer has won over 90% of his games while in the B1G. Dantonio has coached in the B1G for 11 years, and his winning percentage is almost 10 points higher than Ferentz. It appears to me that Ferentz made the list simply by putting 20 years in the B1G.

The tariffs are hitting some people hard. Examples are the ones that need to buy imported aluminum and steel. Farmers aren't being hit hard yet with the nose dive of commodity prices because the crops are still in the field. Some have already forward sold their crops before the nose dive. The rest won't feel the pain till they actually sell their crops this winter. The economy actually is doing very well and it's not just at the Wall Street level. This good economy started building about 8-9 years ago. We have seen it continue over 18 months of the Trump administration. The fear is that what he is doing with tariffs and trade will eventually destroy what has been building. Companies buy back stock for a few different reasons. You bring up some good points in that they usually do it when they feel the stock is undervalued and have extra cash. Consider it like paying down a line of credit. If they have a big project in the future or need to raise capital because of hard times, they need to have stock to sell. So, many companies will buy back stocks in times like this so they have the reserve of stocks to sell in the future. Hopefully, they buy them back at a relatively cheap price. I'm not as outraged about the stock buybacks as some because I look at it as a normal financial transaction companies use to secure their ability to raise capital when needed. We are also seeing wages rise due to the tight labor market. You gotta love Republican's fiscal conservatism....don't ya???

Good use of a gun.

Right now we have room for 18 but there are rumors of a couple more guys already gone and there will probably be more. Everyone seems to expect this class to still push 25.

Appears to be working. I don't agree with it either. Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant because she works for the administration. So the restaurant can refuse her service but yet the same people who would back the restaurant's decision will cry discrimination in the cake decorator case. Seems like they are trying to 'eat their cake and have it too". So will we have a new 'color' code? Instead of 'whites' and 'blacks' we will serve or not serve based on political persuasion. As Michael Jordon once said when asked why he doesn't speak out politically "Republicans buy shoes also." This country is getting too fractured - race, sexual orientation, political views, etc, etc. I don't defend any thing Sanders has said in defending Trump, but I do defend her right to be served just like everyone else. There was no disturbance and by all accounts her group created no issues. She left without protest also. The article states that the staff wasn't comfortable. Sorry snowflake but you need to grow up and be a bit more tolerant and realize that the world is full of a lot of people who hold different values/beliefs than your precious ones. In my work, I deal with a lot of people from the Middle East - I suspect that my beliefs and values are much different than theirs but it isn't a block to doing business and respecting them as persons. https://www.yahoo.com/news/needs-paint-job-trump-blasts-virginia-restaurant-asking-sarah-sanders-leave-130000156.html

Man you need to get off the keyboard you are not winning this one.
