  3. Brief update this morning. Apparently the mortgage firm his mom works for has a branch in Lincoln so he made it sound like she could move to Lincoln and have a job. He was also asked if he was a Sun Devil fan growing up. His response: "growing up they had Todd Graham, so I didn't really like the program that much." He did not secretly sign with a school in December.

  4. You’re predicting Nebraska could be 19-25. Athlon is predicting 19. One of these is crazy AF to you for some reason.

  6. No one is saying they’re the 19th best team in the country right now. That’s what the current 2018 season poll is for.

  7. If you see us finishing 19-25, why is Athlon “high AF” to put us at 19? Polls are supposed to show how good a team is compared to the other teams. It means they think Nebraska will be the 19th best team this season. If Nebraska ends up at 19-25, the people who had us unranked at the beginning were the wrong ones.

  8. Trump took the Republican party hostage and snuck in the back door to usurp and take over, but every GOP member in the three branches of government has actively remained a GOP member for the last two years as their party and platform have become Trump's party and platform. They've stayed on the train for their own self interest. What they did before isn't really relevant. If they believe in conservative principles that's even more damning evidence of their culpability with Trump and even more gives proof that what they really care about is power, not a conservative ideology. People like Evan McMullin have walked the walk of their talk of true conservatism.

  10. Usually pretty spot on with my husker predictions- not so much this year what I was wrong about: didnt think ozigbo would ever see the field because he used to not be able to run zone worth a darn and too slow didnt think Washington would ever make it to fall camp as eligible Didn’t think we would have so many untimely penalties thought our special teams would be vastly improved/ they were bad early saw some good progress had as us on 6 wins didnt think our guys would be able to compete against Ohio state love the direction and improvement- hes definately got our team moving in right direction

  14. The video Mav posted is a really good example of why this offense is so hard to stop. I like this video because it’s against good defensive play. They’re not poorly aligned, there isn’t a bust, just an example that you can’t cover against everything in this game. The two safeties are split, with a LB shading between the trips set to the field side and the formation. Both safeties are about 10 yards deep, giving decent run support. The LB in the box can fill any gap because he has two contain players to the top and bottom. The problem is that trips set is so wide that there is going to be no help over the top and that’s what’s dictating that outside CB the most. A good route, as seen here, and he has practically no chance. This pass concept is called a ‘snag’ or ‘triangle stretch’. It’s easy to see why if paused near the end of the video as you can clearly see the triangle shape. It’s a primary passing concept in this offense as it stretches a defense both horizontally and vertically. It’s good against man and zone. The out and flat receivers are a high-low read to the outside and that spot route just sits in a hole. Frost juices it up with the threat of a QB run. Finally, that’s a ridiculously tough throw, running left then torquing the upper body back the other way. This is why Mario seeks out athletes that can throw on the run, not just anybody can make this throw. This play really highlights the lethality of this passing game married to Martinez’s ability.

  18. By Athlon’s wording, it’s a prediction for how they’ll end up. They talk about our path to possibly winning the west and our toughest opponents being at home. I see all preseason polls as predictions, though. What is the purpose if that’s not what they are? Why not just have the previous season’s final poll and then the first poll after week one? Most/all of these preseason polls take graduations and schedule into account. They’re predicting how good they think the teams will be in the future because they don’t know how good they are right now.

  19. I guess the preseason polls mean different things to different people/pollsters. If I were a voter, I would rank the teams the first week in how I would project them to end the season. After the first week, I would then rank the teams based on the body of work during the season. I guess my rankings would have the potential to fluctuate from week to week, but that's how I would do them.

  20. Aren't preseason polls predicting the "finish" to the season, not the starting point? If that's the case then having NU in the preseason top 25 isn't all that crazy.

  21. It only matters if you think that integrity is more important than winning a sports game. Displaying INTEGRITY in every decision and action; Building and maintaining TRUST with others; Giving RESPECT to each person we encounter; Pursuing unity of purpose through TEAMWORK; Maintaining LOYALTY to student-athletes, co-workers, fans and the University of Nebraska. Hmmm, nothing about winning in the Athletic Department's Mission Statement. Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory Something totally the opposite of "win at all costs" inscribed into the stadium.

  22. No, that's not what that thread of tweets said, although sure there are probably some people that believe that. The point is not "if you support conservative policies you are an enabler." It's that, Trump is the reflection of the constituents they are seeking votes from even now, and republican voters support him and his policies at like 90%. When they look in the mirror as a republican lawmaker they should see his ugly mug staring back at them, he's everything they've been dog whistling for 50 years to get support come to pass. He is the right wing narcissistic policies embodied and put into practice. The point was, when your party base is Donald Trump, by design (because the party built it that way since Nixon) you cant lament for the good old days, because those "good old days" were window dressing covering up all the "Donald Trumps" just under the surface. There is no "principled moral republican party" it doesn't exist, and maybe it never did, but it certainly hasn't since at least the dawn of the southern strategy and Nixon secretly extending the Vietnam war. So its time to stop pretending if you are Mitt Romney or any Republican lawmaker that wants to claim some sort of moral high ground, and if they aren't pretending then they're fools maybe for buying into it in the first place, but certainly for trying to claim it now.

  23. I'm in agreement wt BRB on this. I HATE the way conservationism has become tied to Trumpism. There are times as the Romney oped notes where Trump is correct on the issues - I attribute this to any adults in the room and not any core beliefs / values from Trump himself - he has none but 'whatever benefits me, is good policy'.

  24. All talk, zero action. Or, for the Texass fans that happen to drunkenly stumble over to our site, all hat, no cattle. Until Romney takes action to rally the few remaining sane, moderate Republicans (in what is otherwise a party hijacked by religious fanaticism and catering to the LCD among their supporters), then this *is* the easy way out. Romey gets to stand up in a couple of years and say 'hey, I wrote a scathing editorial about Trump' and claims he did something...when in actuality all he has done is put into print what we've known for some time and little else. Romney has to stoke the fires within his own party for Trump's removal for this to mean anything--calling friends, starting a movement within the GOP to kick out Trump and the Tea Party/MAGA vermin that have infested it. Reset the GOP to the Eisenhower days (sans homophobia and racism), and you'd have a moderate party that would capture the election in a heartbeat.

  25. Without getting into the results of the Trump Tax Cut (you know, the one that was supposed to benefit workers and the stock market), there is more than just voting in Republican lock-step. There are also Congressional oversight duties that have been abdicated, or even worse, used to conceal/defend Trump. After two-years of confirming Trump's grossly unqualified nominations, Flake feigned leverage as a lame duck to protect Mueller. (We still don't have legislation protecting Mueller).

  31. Like Osborne often wasn't the best coach in the stadium when he lined up against Switzer? Sure if you want to equally compare a first year head coach at a nothing, no history program going up against a coach in his 23rd season of building a giant elite machine. Then yeah, okay, whatever, Tom Osborne beat him once. Actually, comparatively, at least in the first 4-6 years or so of their respective careers, Tom did less with more. He took over a program that was already an elite dynasty and kept it rolling along at a somewhat lower level. Saban took over a dumpster fire and turned it into a juggernaut. Two different times, actually. When did Tom Osborne coach somewhere he didn't have a great chance of winning almost every single game? What adversity did he ever coach through with a lack of advantages? The answer is none. lol I think you're the one that's actually using that sort of simplistic definition. I am not. Tom Osborne career record coaching at a blue blood program - 25 years, 255-49-3, .836 Win% - 13 conference championships (one every 1.92 years average), 3 national championships (one every 8.33 years average) Nick Saban career record coaching at a blue blood program - 12 years, 141-20, .876 Win% - 6 conference championships (one every 2 years average), 5 national championships (one every 2.4 years average) If Bama wins the championship Monday, they'll have gone 68-5 with three championships over the last 5 years. Pretty on par with the best run in the history of football when we went 60-3 with three championships. Except he did that right after going 60-7 with three more championships the 5 years before that.

  36. There wasn’t a foul on Roby at the end. It looked like contact initially, but it was clean. Regarding the D at the end, the 1-3-1 zone created a bad shot in the 2nd to last possession, it was kind of a fluky bounce and Maryland got the offensive rebound and put back. On the last possession, it was a big, talented guy, making a good play. Sometimes that happens.

  37. Kent Pavelka was going crazy at the end there. Was it actually a foul when Roby was going up for the ball? Regardless we needed to hit our free throws and we win this game. More ball movement down the stretch would have also helped instead of Palmer playing hero ball- although he was hooping tonight. Lastly, we needed one stop and we couldn't get it and that needs to be corrected as the season goes on.

  39. And everyone still on board in the GOP is either completely blind, which disqualifies them from representing us, or is fine being in bed with Trump, which also disqualifies them from representing us, or has some misguided notion of trying to 'save' the party from within, which also IMO disqualifies them because in their noble crusade to be the last line of defense they are also enabling and exacerbating the Trump problem.

  42. Fastest Coach to 250 wins in Div. 1 A history: Saban No Osborne Yes Teams never won less than 9 wins in 25 years Saban No Osborne Yes Teams ranked in top 15, 24 out of 25 years Saban No Osborne Yes Coached as HC or coordinator in 8 National Championship Games. Saban No Osborne Yes. Called the plays while winning 5 NC games Saban No Osborne Yes 13 Conference Championships Saban No Osborne Yes Developed many players through an extensive walk on program Saban No Osborne Yes. In so many ways Osborne is more than a peer of Saban's. I also think Bobby Bowden was a better HC than Nick Saban. I would have thrown Paterno in there, but not now. I will never agree with people who give Saban the GOAT title without taking into account where he did it. It is like saying Kobe was better than Jordan because he was a better scorer....NOPE!
