Using something that’s more difficult because you’ve always done it that way is what dummies do.

I'm hearing that Fred Hoilberg is going to be the new coach. Byran Munson over on Rivals is saying this. I have been a long time poster over on the Old Big Red Report site (now 247) and Munson was there for a long long time. He has really good sources and wouldn't be saying this if he didn't think this was going down. This was posted over on 247 site and most posters there are all in on a change and really like the hire of Hoilberg if it in fact comes to fruition! Tim Miles is a good guy and put together and really good team, that even with the one big injury should have competed far better than they did. Why were these guys playing with the fire the whole season like they have that last 4 games? That's coaching plan and simple. Since Miles has been here it's always this way. For 2-3 games they become world beaters and then can't beat the play ground guys for 8 games. Just my view, I know there are many of you that see it differently!

With that said, and I'm heading to *cough* work *cough* (game store, I'll be playing Dungeons and Dragons while waiting for customers so occasionally I'll have to tend to the register), I'm considering not wearing green today in the hopes that some girls would actually pinch me. But, knowing how few girls actually come to my game store, and this whole anti-invasion of personal space has taken some of the fun out of this holiday, I'll probably be disappointed. But here's to hoping!

Drop 100 stolen credit cards on the ground outside of the weightroom and see who bites

No. We need to be able to sniff out these bad eggs and then sick NWHuskerfan on them.

Yeah....the statement mood put out was odd. I think it was only put out because someone said there was going to be a statement in 45 minutes. At at that point, he had to say something.

What’s funny/sad is that these are the same damn arguments made 100 years ago (technology aside) by conservatives—only instead of Muslims, African countries, and Middle Eastern refugees, it was the Chinese, Germans, and Jewish religious community. I mean, FFS, an irrational fear of German immigrants by conservatives in the US Government is part of the reason the United States stayed out of WWI as long as we did (the other being the money we were making hand over fist by trading with both sides of the war). In short, history has proven this fear mongering was without merit 100 years ago, and it’s still without merit.

Because it’s the off-season and everyone is bored AF.

I have an honest question: Has Scott Frost ever stolen one of your girlfriends?

He needs to stick to reporting news was the purpose of my post. I have no issue with an opinion sprinkled in here and there - but he has gone away from reporting news to only writing on his opinion and what he thinks the AD should act and do. Not only are his opinions off base for his audience but often not well thought out.

I have no problem with people having an opinion about Dirk. My response to bugeater had nothing to do with that.

Someone I met last night told me Hoiberg is already a done deal. Just waiting for miles to get fired to make it official. I may have had a few by this point but I believe he told me $4 mill/yr for 7 years. Take it fwiw.

Dirk is a columnist. That's an important distinction to make if you're going to criticize journalism as a whole.

I voted “pretty excited”. That’s probably overstating it some. But, I would be more excited than “meh”.

It was reported that at one time almost 1500 D1 players had put their name in the transfer portal. There have been countless Greg Bell’s over the years and it hasn’t made a dent.

S***, forgot the Irish, and on this weekend of all weekends.

Why Dirk thinks he is an expert AD is beyond me. It’s ok for him to post his opinion on a message board but to continuely do it in his articles is what’s wrong with today’s “journalism.” Nonetheless, I agree with waiting on the Miles decision/announcement out of respect for the seniors and team to let them complete their season before making a move as it gives the team the best opportunity to win.

It would be possible. This is actually the second Xavier Hill we've offered this class.

I agree with everything you said. But I'm not sure about the bolded; what would you call a person that wants Miles retained if not an "apologist"? a·pol·o·gist /əˈpäləjəst/ noun a person who offers an argument in defense of something controversial. "an enthusiastic apologist for fascism in the 1920s"

Exactly. Frost’s championship as a coach was legit and Lue’s is claimed.

Third down was awful last year, in particular the first half of the season where we were one of the worst in the nation. Another year in the system for both the offense as a whole, but specifically Martinez, will help tremendously. He tried at times too hard to make plays and that really affected his completion %. 1st down - 69% 2nd down - 66% 3rd down - 53% (0-9 yards - 51%) 4th down - 40% On runs of 3rd and 3 or shorter we converted 27 first downs on 35 rushes (77%). A big issue were teams overloading the box. This is a much bigger problem for shotgun based offenses because the mesh point largely determines what side the run will go. So not only can they bring an extra defender, they can bring one to the correct side. Our best plays therefore became ones that involved the QB. Expect more under center work this year, if for no other reason than to make Adrian comfortable with it for QB sneaks. At both the NCAA and NFL level sneaks are so ludicrously effective that they’re the right call even if expected.

Not to mention the Irish.

He was the biggest loss out of the recruiting class in my opinion.

This is like people asking about Mcquitty. Dude is young and has only had a year on campus. Give him some time he still has 4 more seasons of elgibility for us.

I think it is unfair to speculate about him because Moos hasn’t made any announcements yet and back in the old days we would wait for the newspaper to tell us something. oops, wrong Miles

I understand not showing the gunman, but not discussing his manifesto? The reasons for his actions matter.

Has an opinion actually been shared by Hayseed on Miles???? Asking for a friend who thinks he’s only deflected when asked

Really, how old are you? Many of your comments are of a teenager.

Well usually you evaluate how the coach is doing as the years go by. Miles had 7 years and only got to the tournament once. This was supposed to be one of if not the best team in Nebraska history. Even with the Copleand injury, they had plenty of talent to go out and compete and win games. They underperformed plain and simple.

Do you go away when Miles gets fired? im just curious. He’s at his sons Spring Game at Cal according to Callahan.

This seems rather pointless...

How is sharing my opinion, me pretending I am running the team? Just because my opinion differs from your opinion doesnt mean I am sitting on some high horse. Also, I believe you are sitting around using technology to share your opinion the same way I am.....

Seems silly to make any statement or comment about it at this point. If your going to wait till after the season then just wait till after the season.

Bell was never that good. I remember watching his film, yet ppl said "breakaway speed" I never once saw that out of him. There were like 5 plays that 2 of our other backs could have housed against CO and Troy and we had gimp legs Bell picking up 5.

Back when you use to walk to school two miles, up-hill both ways in 2 feet of snow?

Lord, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way.

Disgusting. Even more the amount of downplay it gets. Oh just a pizza with a stolen credit card. Oh wait we had a coach that got 3 DUII’s and that was ok.

A literal and factually based assessment is not an overreach. If he did what is alleged to have done, then that is truly a felony per the law itself. Then you take into account context, and he will likely plead to probation/diversion/misdemeanor/something minor and not serious. There's no overreach anywhere. Also, what exactly is an incarnation crisis? Too many deities embodying humans in California?

Like freedom?

They added the felony because child porn is a felony! They did not just add fake charges.

How the hell does Keanu Reeves keep getting decent roles? He gets my vote for worst actor in my lifetime.

Any soccer player

There are not enough facepalm gifs in the world to handle this statement.

McDonald's Coke tastes terrible

Blah blah blah all I hear is blah blah blah lol
