He is staying!

Dunno, but I think playing the music during the spring game takes away a little of the excitement/game atmosphere.

@Nebfanatic

I'm pretty sure his father would have tweeted about it 50 times.

A few things from the spring game: 1) On zone plays and inside screens, he can get to that second level quick and he’s driving people when he gets there. LBs really need to have their head on a swivel. 2] He is still undersized, but he didn’t really struggle much because he did a good job of sinking his hips and keeping his pad level low. If this scrimmage is any indication of how his spring has went, it’s clear why he’s running with the 1s. His natural athleticism helps, but he’s physical and he’s picking up the technical side very quickly.

Anyone feel that they were playing at 3/4 speed?

That's an incredibly subjective statement that doesn't mean anything. What measures? Measures of what? Who measured them? Define better? That's a Pre-K type of statement. Is the increase in hate crimes better than before? Are the soybean farmers doing better than before? Is it better that our president has historically awful approval ratings than before? Our world reputation certainly isn't better than it was before Trump. The erosion of trust in media and institutions doesn't seem to be better. The increased number of people working in and with the White House who are criminals doesn't seem to be better. The environment is doing worse.

Someone would still have to throw the ball though . You can put a WR/TE in to block right now for a trick play without having a combination K/WR. (I gave you a +1 to bump you off of 402, I couldn't resist the urge)

No problem! I'm waiting on the 45 minute version with nothing but the plays.

I think we may have finally found Alex Davis a role he excels at. In the spring game he played primarily as that on the line OLB pass rusher and he was an absolute menace. Did a great job not letting those much bigger tackles get their hands on him in pass rushing situations. Showed a nice ability to rush inside and outside from a wide technique as well as getting underneath the lineman’s pad level and just moving him out of the way. He looks so much quicker this year, too.

Schafer with the N crystal ball

Was in attendance today

Most schools are recruiting him at DE but we're looking at him at OLB with an eye towards teams that are more power-run teams. Mainly looking at us and Iowa State. Planning to commit before his season starts. No other trips planned right now but looking at Wisconsin and Kansas State.

As he was throwing that, the section football genius loudly says "What is he throwing that into!" very snarky like. Then TD. Then he made one of those grunt noises that indicated how sorry he was that he made that thought audible for us all to hear.

Love this kid's film. Great athleticism and length. Would be a total steal at this point

The HOL guys think he's one of the next couple guys on the list of best in-state players....

The big takeaway is this team has every chance to be very, very good. A laundry list of guys were held out, another list played but only a bit, and about a third set aren’t even here yet, so it’s tough to say specifically how this thing looks. But all of that talk of culture change, attitude, and work ethic played out on the field. And it wasn’t 1 or 2 guys, it was largely the norm.

Really impressed by his visit. Gave it a 10 Visiting Oregon and Washington this spring.

"Blown away" by his visit. Going to take OVs to California and Princeton. Planning to return here for an OV as well. Wants to commit before his season starts.

in school my teachers would get upset if i wasn't taking notes....err...i mean spying on them.

Gave Frost the news at the Watering Hole Friday night as Scott was leaving for an event. Held was kept out of the loop until just before the game.

I watched about a quarter and a half. Red was 1st team offense and defense. White had 21 scholarship players (younger kids mostly). Just some random thoughts: - White looked like they came out hungrier and more aggressive. Red O had some nice plays but didn't look very sharp. A couple misreads by Adrian on zone reads. - We going to have to embrace it - Good D in this scheme is defined as fly to the ball, give up some yards, and create turnovers. White was gashing Red on a few runs early. I didn't expect to see it. - One of the Daniels brothers on red was getting moved off the line a bit...by white Oline - Luke McCaffrey is going to be good. Great feel for the game and ad hocs well - RB's looked spotty. Not tons of talent on display Saturday but serviceable - We really will count on a few playmakers that didn't play yesterday. We just don't have the talent depth yet. - I really liked the pressers after the game, especially from the kids. They were loose and didn't act uptight with the game not being their best performance. Really good maturity and perspective. It looked better than year 1. The D was better, and the Line play was better. Kids look a little leaner and faster. My take away was we have a favorable schedule, but to win the West consistently (not counting on a good schedule), and really challenge for BIG10, we still may be a class or 2 away. I'm encouraged...

updated info for staff in initial post

Can we all just admit that all articles are capable of having facts? Conservative Tree House may have verifiable facts in articles, CNN may have verifiable facts in their articles, Politico may have verifiable facts in their articles. If people in these threads would focus more on the "verifiable" facts within the articles instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater we'd all be much better off. I'm tired of this never ending pissing match of "my source is better than yours". It is taking this off-topic discussion nowhere.

It's been repeatedly stated on this board no mainstream Democrat, not Pelosi nor anyone else, supports open borders, but you keep coming back with that same tired line. Please stop. It's a lazy argument that is not based in reality. We do not live in a universe where everyone who isn't Trump is an advocate of open borders. Better is subjective my dude. Roughly 3/5 of the country disagrees with you, FWIW.

Sorry, I was not aware of the inorganic posting rule. And that bit about valueless posts across multiple threads.......well, I have a name or two to point out but I won't. I should probably actually read all the rules sometime

Schaef thought maybe one more. Forshadowing Watts?

Haha. That's funny. I always liked Doc Sadler. I actually met him albeit briefly once but he definitely seemed genuine and friendly. Very neat to see him back.

I would love to see more work on the glass and easy baskets - however, don't be surprised if FH doesn't spend much effort on 7-footers guessing he will go for slightly taller guards and a bunch of long 6-7 to 6-9 guys.

Ntambwe would be an unreal pickup. Took a visit to UConn already that went very well but no commitment and UConn guys seem very concerned about his visit here. I do think it’s interesting he notes above he’s considering going pro...

Even better news! Here is another free site where you can create a separate post about every single random thing you found on JJ's link above: https://www.huskerboard.com. Everyone should use this site to paste their favorite google results, it just may brighten someone's day!

Him, Watts, and Corcoran are all supposedly close.

We had a trip to Vegas planned for her spring break and I kept trying to set up events; helicopter tours, spa days, fancy dinners, etc. She kept shooting them all down because she just wanted to go to pool and drink and relax. We did end up going to a nice dinner one night (Mr. Chow's; which was great [get the sea bass!]). We're finishing up and I have the ring in my shirt pocket. The guy comes to ask if we need anything else and she blurts out "just the check!" So we're onto the next place, some fancy lounge for c$%ktails and dessert. It wasn't the right place either. I tried to do it in some private areas around the fountains outside Caesar's but she was really wanting to get back to the hotel because her feet were killing her. So I ended up doing it in our hotel room while we were having a night cap together by the window watching all the lights. She was super surprised (which is all I wanted) and she said she was happy it was a private thing for us instead of a big public event.

Running back depth chart in August....1.D. Mills(if qualifies). 2.Mo Washington(if still on team) 3. Rhamir Johnson 4. Wyatt Mazour 5. Brody Belt 6. Jaylin Bradley....mix in Robinson and M. Jones.

Fixed it
