  2. The article at the bottom is what the other person is referring to I think for "stuff surfacing". The facts are it wasn't just not paying a speeding ticket, it was also failing to appear in court after. He also has an arrest it appears a year ago for also failing to appear for a different offense. This is on top of being kicked off the team at Georgia Tech. I would call that a pattern of behavior forming. I agree it isn't a serious offense like assault, but it is a bit concerning none the less. https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/husker-commit-mills-receives-probation-in-georgia-for-missing-court/article_d887e419-a680-54af-bbd4-6a40ad3d4eff.amp.html

  7. People are blowing his arrest warrant way out of proportion. He didn’t pay a speeding ticket. It’s not a big deal. It’s not like he hit a woman or was drunk driving.

  9. Does this have to be a standard for how we run our program now???? Different times in the internet age bub. Things are held to a higher standard with the wealth of information at our fingertips.

  10. at the end of the day, your W/L record is what it is.........spin is for those who can't accept reality. it's OK........really. Frost hoping that a whole bunch of true freshman will make an immediate impact...... I would say 2020 will be the start of more consistent results. 4-8 IS 4-8.

  11. If anyone watched the CFP and came away thinking that Frost and Nebraska will get there and look competitive with any form of regularity recruiting classes in the mid-20', step away from the bong.

  12. Partially correct and I have posted on this before. I am in agreement that this is a must have in our future to compete for national titles AND league titles. This year Clemson is at #4 nationally in total defense while Bama is #10. I have a feeling Bama loses this one but the Clemson QB while good, is young. (Syracuse game etc..) Also, Nick Saban has yet to win a MNC with a defese ranked higher than #3 in total defense (this year so far Bama is ranked #10 in total d). Here is the list going of teams that won the MNC since 1998 and their final total defense ranking: (stats from ncaa.org) 2017 - Alabama #1 2016 - Clemson #4 2015 - Alabama #3 2014 - Ohio State #19 2013 - Florida State #3 2012 - Alabama #1 2011 - Alabama #1 2010 - Auburn #60 2009 - Alabama #2 2008 - Florida #9 2007 - LSU #3 2006 - Florida #6 2005 - Texas #9 2004 - USC #6 2003 - LSU (#1) / USC (#30) 2002 - Ohio State #23 2001 - Miami #6 2000 - Oklahoma #8 1999 - Florida State #19 1998 - Tennessee #17 6 teams in the last 20 years have won MNC's with a non-top 10 defense. Most of those teams were still in the top 25-30 and had killer offenses (i.e. 14 tOSU, Auburn 2010, and 03 USC). Auburn had Cam N. in 2010 who was a complete freak of nature (think Vince Young^2) and made up for their #60 ranking (although they did hold Oregon to 19 pts in the MNCG). For fun here is NU's total defense for all 5 NC's: 1970 Coundnt find 1971 Couldnt find 1994 #5 1995 #13??? yikes (KSU was #1) 1997 #5 The way I see it is this: with Frost we will always have a dynamic offense that plays up-tempo and can put up 30-40 a game easily; heck we are doing it now with only a year of recruiting. That being said I think we need to at the very least field a top 25 defense to contend for the B1G and MNC. Watching OU play Bama last night it was obvious why Saban has so many MNC's: he knows how to field a solid defense year in and year out (his average total defense ranking when he wins a MNC is ~1.74). I think top 25 total d should be an easy/realizable goal for the coaching staff. There could be unique challenges given that the defense will practice with our offense and could leave them vulnerable to power running teams/pro style offenses. For those hating on Michigan's D in their bowl game I have a suspiscion that Harbaugh is part of the problem; his seat is hot af right now. I know Venables is an OU/KSU guy, and we got Chin..but wouldn't it be nice to poach him from Clemson??? Feel free to discuss.

  13. I actually thought they did a pretty tremendous job fleshing out characters and providing character arcs and beats for most of the key players. They gave Thanos an at least passable motivation to serve as a sort of moral dilemma. Kept hitting father/mentor/legacy beats with Tony Stark and his relationship to Peter Parker coinciding with his struggles or burden of leadership and sacrifice. Even the alpha male competition dichotomy (and later trichotomy) with Stark/Strange/Star Lord was entertaining, mostly because the interactions and the plot progression were centered in each character. There were decent juxtapositions of the large stakes of Thanos wiping out half the universe with the smaller stakes of things like Scarlet Witch trying to save the mandroid she loves. I could go on and on, but at the end of the day, this is much more like jumping into Season 3 Episode 16 of a non-serialized TV series more than it is jumping into a movie. Its biggest strength is also it's biggest weakness, which is that the movie doesn't need to spend time on certain foundational work because 18 films before it already have. I thought the Russo brothers did a mostly great job, though.

  20. Ehhh, Season 2 was pretty good too. I tried like heck to watch Season 6 and couldn't get past the first couple episodes. Also trying to avoid all spoilers for the new Black Mirror movie so staying away from YouTube. I feel like I need to mentally psyche myself up to watch and need a therapist to call after I get done with it.

  26. For reference, I think this is what @Moiraine was talking about. Thoroughly shameful to take government employees raises away by fiat... but of course we were in good enough fiscal shape to bear a budget-busting massive tax cut for upper income folks and corporations, and the government is currently shut down because the president has dug in on his useless pet project. Their justification about fiscal sustainability is laughable. Everything this man does is out of cruelty, pettiness or rank dishonesty.

  28. Kentucky vs Louisville is another that comes to mind, but that still means three cupcake games and that's only a few of the 16 SEC teams. What many forget is a 9th conference game guarantees the conference will have more losses. Half the teams will win that 9th game, half will lose. That guarantees 7 extra losses for the B1G every year. The SEC only playing 8 conference games means they can avoid the guaranteed 7 extra losses they'd have with a 9th conference game. Which record looks better? 8-4* or 7-5 Which is going to be ranked higher? Who are you going to get more credit for beating, the 8 win team or the 7 win team? Until they play 9 conference games, put an asterisk behind their record. *(only played 8 conference games)

  30. There is no valid argument for Saban as best coach of all time. Put Tom Osborne at the head of that Alabama unscrupulous recruiting, and under the table funding scheme, with all that local talent, and I don't think he would have lost a single game in 6 or 7 years. Put Nick Saban at NU in 1991. would he have turned it around to go 60-3? OH! That's right! He would have lied to all of us and then bailed like he did to the Miami fans: "Nick Saban Only Lied When His Lips Were Moving"- ESPN http://www.espn.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=2718798 OR OH! Thats right! He never would have come here in the first place! Too tough of a challenge just like MIA was! My Point: You can't say that he is the best coach ever when his major successes have come at Alabama, a school absolutely drowning in local talent , and ruthless boosters. Tom Osborne Won 3 National titles as head coach at Nebraska, had his team in at least three more, AND called the plays for two other championship teams. AT NEBRASKA, which is like barren of local schollies. All Saban does is throw tantrums at everybody, and find other people to call the plays. TO would RULE Saban if they were forced to call their own plays.

  31. I'm from Ohio and think the reason could be a few things. 1. Not enough film on him and if he wasn't attending camps due to injury they couldn't get a look at him there either. 2. Archbishop Alter is a very solid program in OH HS football. However they bounce around from D3 - D4 (D1 being the largest and D7 being the small schools). So competition could be questioned. 3. Type of offense. Alter is an option offense. Sometimes option RBs don't get the same looks from bigger schools. I found it unusual that the Alter QB is a Missouri commit.
