Bama has room for everyone until they don't and start cutting players at the last minute

Not sure I wanna click on something called "grandma streams"

It’s not relevant whether at Nebraska a TE ever converted to OT, because Scott Frost wasn’t the head coach before. What Mavric posted was about as relevant to the conversation as you can get. If it never happened at Nebraska before it might be because no one tried, and it might be no one tried because they didn’t play this style of offense before. FWIW, and I’ve argued plenty with Mavric before, I didn’t find it to be an attack or troll at all.

I'm going for it! Looking to snag a Big Bulldozer out of the 609!! -Cav

Picked up a husk CB from a Miami writer.

I went with B Obviously the record isn't great. But we not only played well enough to win several more games, we really outplayed several opponents for the vast majority of games only to screw something up at the end to lose it. Which - to me - means we were better than our record showed. If you change any one of several plays we beat both Colorado and Northwestern. If either Martinez doesn't get hurt, Gebbia doesn't leave or (possibly) UCF doesn't hold up Vedral's waiver request, we probably beat Troy. None of that takes any better coaching job, just some better luck and we could easily be 7-5. We were pretty competitive against everyone except Michigan, that's a vast improvement. Our offense was light-years better over last year. The defense was far from great but was still significantly improved from last year. That's a lot of progress in 11 months.

You're the one who was arguing with him about that. If you're going to argue, why don't you come up with your own evidence to show him that he's wrong? It took me five seconds on Google to show that your little retort was just trying to be argumentative. Then instead of admitting that it happens fairly often, now you've resorted to attacking the poster. Good work.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the coaches probably think this guy is a better athlete than the guys in the 500 mile radius they’re not offering scholarships to. Body type is one thing, athleticism is another. I’ve also seen no reason not to trust their judgement when they go after a few players who don’t have a ton of offers.

Maybe, and this is a BIG maybe, the staff knows more than us posters from Huskerboard.

Bad news for Bookie. Bookie better get it together or transfer to Oregon State. This guy will take his spot.

Jamal Turner will always stick out to me. He flipped into the endzone at a spring game and into our hearts.......then didn't do much after that.

Bold move whomever used the eyeroll emoji on an admin.

Or maybe it is harder for DBs to turn and play the ball than our fans think it is

Frost visiting Friday. We're trying to lock this kid down!

This one always gets me teary eyed. What passion, what desire. Truly inspiring.

Two big takeaways today: Michael Cohen has a cooperation agreement with Mueller. I do not believe his previous plea (tax evasion, campaign finance, etc.) included this. Michael Cohen admits that Donald Trump was pursuing lucrative deals with Russia during the campaign (while the campaign was also meeting Russians in Trump Tower to get Clinton dirt, GOP changed Ukraine platform, Trump elicited Wikileaks on nationally television, campaign was coordinating with Assange, etc.).

Why is Cam'Ron Jones on this list? He was hurt last year.

I'd take Mayo, Wallace, and Pola-Gates and call the whole DB crootin a success.

pretty sure donnie took putins last name when they were married.

it will be interesting to see who also shakes out - however doubt the record has anything to do with that

When I went to the Oklahoma State game in 2007, I was adamant that we stay to the very end. Somehow it seemed to be of vital importance to witness what, at the time, seemed to be rock bottom for our program, because I felt we would soon be climbing out of the ashes and set things straight. Little did I know that we were nowhere near rock bottom yet, and it would take another decade of sinking before we got back on the right track. That is why this year felt special. We had to sink to stunning, uncharted territory, with the chosen one at the helm of the ship, before coming afloat again. It's hard to imagine feeling so optimistic after a 4-8 year that included such an unbelievable string of losses, yet here we are. Hopefully what we witnessed in September and October was truly the end of a long nightmare that we thought we had already reached the end of a couple of times in the past. This time is different.

One thing I will say is health care is a far bigger priority and I don’t think anyone should even try with education until everyone can get health care.

Was pretty impressed that Frost and Austin showed up at his house last night. He knew Austin was coming but not Frost. He's now 6-7. Dad is 6-8 and played at Purdue. He thinks he's probably going to grow a bit taller yet. Visiting Syracuse this weekend. No offer and #Cav. OV to UConn next weekend. Lincoln December 15.

Team Mueller playing 10D chess

I'm an Industrial Technology teacher, and I approve this message

I didn't read every single post in this topic, so I'm sorry if it has already been discussed or mentioned. I'm a high school math teacher and I am currently in my 18th year or teaching. I do make a decent wage, but mainly because I went and got my masters degree and I coach. I don't know how teachers can make a decent living if they don't at least get their masters, because that is usually a significant pay raise. Here are a few thoughts that I do have about college: #1) I am a high school math teacher, but I had to take Science, History, English and other elective classes in college. College needs to be a place that you focus just on your chosen field. I took some interesting classes, but I don't know why I needed that information to teach math. #2) I always see people claiming that college should be free. This is a terrible idea in my honest opinion. Where is all of that money going to come from to get students through college? More than likely, taxes. We will all have to pay much higher taxes so that students can receive a free education. I could see many people moving away from college towns if the taxes were based on location in the school district like elementary and high school is. #3) Just because I don't feel that college should be free doesn't mean that I think it should cost as much as it does. There are many fees in college that are ridiculous. I went to Chadron, so my student loans were very easy to pay off after college. I couldn't even imagine what it would have been like if I would have attended a University or a private college. #4) I have discussions with students all the time about what they should be doing after high school. I feel that a lot of people my age went to college after high school because that is what you are supposed to do. I tell kids that they need to think seriously about what they want to do as a career and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with going to a trade school or 2 year school to get a degree that they will actually use. I don't have all the answers, but I really do feel like we need to rethink and revamp a lot of areas in high school and college and gear them more towards getting kids in to fields that they are interested in and will actually excel in some day. In the words of Judge Smails, "The world needs ditchdiggers too." Kids need to realize that they need to do what they like and what they are good at instead of what all of their friends are doing. It's ok to be a ditchdigger as long as you are good at it, enjoy it and make a decent living. Sorry for the long post, my students are taking a Geometry test right now and I had some time.

One thing to keep in mind with Martinez is there are 4 coaches who haven’t coached against him and their respective media members may not have watched him much either. Same thing goes for Bootle. Even if they try not to make it a career award they would not have spent as much time watching young players simply because they haven’t all played against them.

I don't understand. He posted an article that answered your question: Or are you trying to say that TE turned OT trends are only relevant for Nebraska under different coaches than we have today? That seems ridiculous.

7 facts you have to remember when Donald Trump attacks the Mueller probe https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/29/politics/donald-trump-mueller-investigation/index.html 1. There have been 191 criminal charges brought by Mueller. 2. With Michael Cohen pleading guilty to lying to congressional investigators about his ties to Russia on Thursday, there are now seven people who have pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the Mueller probe. 3. Among those seven are: Cohen (Trump's former personal lawyer and fixer), Paul Manafort (former Trump campaign chairman), Rick Gates (former deputy campaign chairman) and Michael Flynn (former national security adviser). These are not low-level underlings. 4. Manafort, who is accused of breaking his plea deal by lying to Mueller's team, was convicted by a jury of his peers for his pre-Trump campaign work with the Ukrainian government. 5. Mueller was appointed as special counsel on May 17, 2017. That's 18 months ago. That's far shorter than other high-profile special investigations like it -- including Whitewater and Iran Contra, both of which lasted more than six years. 6. The direct costs that Congress has allocated for the special counsel's office is $10.4 million for fiscal year 2017 and $10.4 million for fiscal year 2018, which runs through September 2019. So the direct cost of the investigation could -- if the probe last until next September -- be north of $20 million. Not $40 million. 7. Three people -- Alex van der Zwaan, Richard Pinedo and George Papadopoulos -- have been sentenced to prison as a result of the Mueller investigation. Any Trumpers care to comment 1,2 and 7?

Reaching? Are you saying fumbles lost don't count because he is a QB? If you were talking about Tanner Lee, I would agree. But, the QB running game is a big part of the Nebraska offense and of Martinez's success at his position. I don't see how that is irrelevant. It is actually really ironic the amount of criticism another QB named Martinez got for fumbling at Nebraska, and now, I am accused of "reaching" when I bring it up. McSorley was not the second best QB in the Big Ten or necessarily better than Martinez. What I am saying is being the #1 or #2 in fumbling is something you have to recognize when evaluating AM's performance on the season.

Visiting this weekend.

Michael Cohen pleads guilty to lying to Congress

I considered all games played between ND and P5 conference teams against P5 conference teams and calculated averages and standard deviations for all stats (it made sense to) across the nine categories listed below. I took the averages for all the average category percentile rankings of each conference's teams to come up with the rankings below. The overall best stats, relative to those for all P5 teams plus Notre Dame, are as follows: SEC at #1 with 50.36 as their average team category percentile ranking B1G at #2 with 50.27 PAC-12 at #3 with 49.68 ACC at #4 with 47.35 Big XII at #5 with 47.32 Looking at the individual categories, we have the following rankings: Passing Offense Big XII: 63.02 PAC-12: 55.04 SEC: 47.41 B1G: 42.35 ACC: 41.35 Passing Defense B1G: 58.60 ACC: 54.62 SEC: 53.66 PAC-12: 40.96 Big XII: 29.16 Rushing Offense B1G: 54.20 ACC: 50.93 SEC: 46.29 PAC-12: 42.55 Big XII: 42.47 Rushing Defense PAC-12: 57.39 SEC: 55.56 Big 12: 52.55 B1G: 46.47 ACC: 44.31 Scoring Offense Big 12: 53.10 PAC-12: 48.51 B1G: 48.17 ACC: 47.26 SEC: 42.12 Scoring Defense SEC: 56.56 B1G: 53.87 PAC-12: 51.34 ACC: 45.73 Big XII: 41.23 Total Offense Big XII: 57.01 PAC-12: 50.13 B1G: 48.29 ACC: 47.87 SEC: 44.55 Total Defense SEC: 56.51 B1G: 51.07 PAC-12: 48.74 ACC: 44.57 Big XII: 39.62 Turnover Margin PAC-12: 52.49 SEC: 50.61 ACC: 49.52 B1G: 49.44 Big XII: 47.70

But can she play the tromboner.

Frost and Austin visited tonight. UConn also scheduled to visit. Visiting Syracuse this weekend and Lincoln December 15

I also remember being really excited about our wide receiver Chris Brooks, but I don't remember him producing much unfortunately.

THAT wave has been banned in Kinnick Stadium for about seven years. Last time they tried it, three Iowa fans drowned.

Here’s an idea that might help start straightening things out. Howabout employers can’t require a college degree for jobs that pay less than $80-$100k. That might begin to solve both problems. People wouldn’t feel compelled to get that degree and wind up as night manager at Taco Johns and companies wouldn’t be fanning the flames of higher education by demanding somebody invest $150k or more to perform simple tasks anybody with a pulse could learn to do within a month on the job. It’s my belief, by and large, that the majority of people aren’t getting more educated or smarter in college but rather they are just playing the game that’s been laid in front of them. With some obvious exceptions, it’s just become jumping through hoops to try to keep from starving.

Big CB submitted for N by Blair Angulo, he's a west coast expert.

Maybe next year when we play Iowa at home, we can just stop after the first quarter, call out Emma Johnson on the speakers and give her the friendly bird?

I agree with you, but if Ozigbo had left before this season started, it would not have bothered me, now I think he may leave the biggest hole when seniors graduate.
