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?

She won the Volleyball CLASS award, thanks in part to Nebraska fan voting early and often. Need some support from Nebraska fan again to ensure she makes the finalist list (she is now a semifinalist). You can vote once a day until Friday March 15th. Then hopefully she will qualify for another round of voting for the finalist of the Sullivan award starting the 18th.

Unbelievable, with our ranking 2 more wins would of got us in.

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.

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

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.

I will keep pimping this account, it is awesome and very harsh! The coaches (asst coaches) that run that account are tied in.

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.

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

Can’t wait to see these guys next month in Omaha

In an existential sense this may be the funniest post this week.

I guess I don't see any issue generally wondering how a certain player is doing. Seems like a fair talking point. Unless OP has a habit of bringing up Jones... kbb always thought Taylor wasn't getting a fair shake, so that was just irritating. I don't think that's the case with Jones (just as I didn't think that was the case with Taylor). As a general rule of thumb, OP, not hearing anything about a specific player likely means they haven't made a noticeable impact yet. Or, they haven't made an impact relative to the standard of other players being talked about. He's a young player and it might take him some more time to develop.

Damned goiter is acting up but I'm soaking it in whiskey.

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.

A few extra games played than I had originally budgeted for at the moment and some big scoring performances down the stretch changing my projection from when the team couldn't score a month or so ago. Watson at 11th right now, one more game should move into 10th. A deep NIT run could get him past Strickland for 8th. Palmer at 18th now, one or two NIT games could get to 16th. A deep run could get to 14th. Would have to go absurd for 5 games to catch Venson Hamilton. Still insane for a two year Nebraska career.

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.

Ok, so dont share my opinion on sports on a sports themed message board built to discuss opinions... Got it!

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.

FIFY

Me to every player on Wisconsin:

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.

And in those good ol' days before the interwebs, if you overheard people at the local coffee shop or at the bar speculating about the future of the local coach, did you also harass them then about their opinions without providing any commentary of value yourself?

Geez...Still mad that you bought that authentic Greg Bell jersey at Husker Hounds?

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

Im sure the coaches disciplined the kids accordingly. What else do you want, an angry mob to run them out of the state?

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?

Shoresy has the best one-liners. Give yer balls a tug ya titf#@ker

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

I agree. Their Coke is the worst. I still think the idiot that came up with new Coke was a MacDonalds guy and they stuck them with using up that crap.

Dude, I hope that view is good on that high horse you’re on today. Did you even read the article? A pizza? Calm down. We ordered pizzas with the same buy one get one free coupon for four years in college. Also, how do we know they knew what the app did? R-E-L-A-X
